Hamill on Last Jedi Cutting Luke’s Reaction to Han’s Death
Star Wars: The Last Jedi hits Blu-ray and DVD today and features 14 deleted scenes, two of which turned out to be important moments for Luke Skywalker. During a sit-down interview in Ireland last week, I asked actor Mark Hamill what he thought about these particular sequences -- which we hailed as two of the film's four best deleted scenes -- getting cut from the theatrical version of The Last Jedi. Watch the full interview with Hamill in the video above.
While Hamill was understanding about scenes needing to get cut, he was nevertheless disappointed by director Rian Johnson's decision to do so as these moments would have shown audiences another side of Luke the film otherwise didn't depict.
X-Men: Dark Phoenix, New Mutants Both Delayed
Fox has announced two delays in the upcoming slate of X-Men films, as well as a couple of other release date shifts.
As reported by Variety, Fox pushed X-Men: Dark Phoenix from its original release date of Nov. 2, 2018 to Feb. 14, 2019. The Freddie Mercury biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody, will now release on that Nov. 2 date instead of on Dec. 25. Longtime X-Men director Bryan Singer originally was attached to direct but he and the studio parted ways on Bohemian Rhapsody.
New Mutants has also been delayed, moving yet again after being delayed from its April 13, 2018 release to Feb. 2019. It's now been pushed back a second time to August 2.
The Walking Dead Actor Reveals He Asked to Be Killed Off
One of the earliest major casualties to hit The Walking Dead, Jeffrey DeMunn's Dale died in 2012 during the second season. And while Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman offered an explanation of his unexpected death at the time, DeMunn recently spoke to a very different reason for Dale's death.
In an interview with Cleveland.com, DeMunn said that Dale's death was his decision, spurred by how AMC treated former showrunner Frank Darabont, according to DeMunn.
"I was furious about how Frank was pushed out of the show. I spent a week not being able to take a full breath. And then I realized, 'Oh, I can quit.' So I called them and said, 'It's a zombie show. Kill me. I don't want to do this anymore.' It was an immense relief to me," he said
How the Classic Kree-Skrull War Story Could Influence Captain Marvel
Yesterday Marvel Studios announced that production has begun on the Captain Marvel movie. And while they didn't overtly reveal any new plot details about this cosmic superhero adventure, new casting announcements offer a good idea of where the film is headed. The fact that the movie will bring back villains like Ronan the Accuser and Korvath strongly suggests that Captain Marvel is drawing from the classic comic book storyline The Kree-Skrull War.
Read on to find out what The Kree-Skrull War is and why it seems to be a major influence on this upcoming MCU epic.

The New ‘World War Hulk’ Lives Up To Its Name
The Incredible Hulk #714 kicks off a storyline called World War Hulk II, which also happens to be writer Greg Pak's swan song on the series. This new story arc is only very loosely connected to the original World War Hulk crossover from 2007. However, that's very much in this book's favor. This opening chapter suggests that World War Hulk II will be able to capitalize on its premise in a way the original never managed.
