Star Wars
Daisy Ridley spoke to Collider about her upcoming New Jedi Order movie.
I’m very excited. The story is really cool. I’m waiting to read a script because, obviously, I don’t have any other updates. It’s not what I expected, but I’m very excited.
X-Men/Fantastic Four
During a recent interview with Screen Rant, Jon Hamm stated he hopes he finally “gets the chance” to play Mr. Sinister—or potentially Doctor Doom—when the X-Men officially join the MCU.
I don’t know. Those decisions get made at such a high level at this point, definitely above my pay grade. I would love to. I’ve been a fan of Marvel Comics and comics in general since I was probably single digits. I think there are tons of stories that I’m familiar with, at least, that are still out there to be told.
Hopefully, whatever their plans are, they include me. But if not, I know that they have a pretty deep bench of folks that are ready to be a part of those stories. There are certainly a lot of stories in the X-Men world to be told. Fantastic Four as well, [like] Doctor Doom. There are so many great things out there. But yeah, I hope I get a chance. Who knows?

Doctor Who
David Tennant promised the third Doctor Who 60th anniversary special will be “bananas” during his recent guest appearance on the BBC’s One Show.
They’re very different, each one is really quite unique.The first one is to sort of recognize the sort of world of Doctor Who, you’re recognizing things. The second one is unlike any episode of Doctor Who. And the third one is bananas.
"The third one is bananas!" 😂
