Spider-Man: Homecoming – New Trailer Secrets Revealed
The third domestic trailer for Spider-Man: Homecoming hit today, so let's break down all the finer points and reveals in the piece.
Right off the bat we see another new element of Tom Holland’s Spidey suit. The tech-based costume of course was designed for Peter Parker by Tony Stark, and each trailer has revealed a bit more of its capabilities. Here we see that it has a JARVIS-like AI interface, though one with a female voice. Also, 576 possible webshooter combinations! And you thought web balls were fancy...
It’s also notable that Peter has an internal display not unlike that of the Iron Man suit. Makes sense. The trailer also gives us our best look yet at how saggy the suit is before it vacuum-fits to Peter’s body… at the touch of a spider-symbol. We even get to see a couple of the aforementioned 576 webshooter combos when Spidey webs a thief to another web and leaves him dangling in the air.
Every Secret Hidden in Game of Thrones’ Season 7 Trailer
The Great War is coming in Game of Thrones, and the Season 7 trailer gave us a preview of some of the epic battles and political showdowns we can expect this year.
The biggest fight showcased is a clash between Daenerys’ Dothraki and Unsullied army with Queen Cersei’s Lannister forces. Even Drogon gets into the fight in the coolest moment of the trailer. There seem to be two elements of this massive battle: first, the showdown between the Dothraki and Lannister army in an open field, and second, the Unsullied overtaking a Lannister keep. While there is a chance this keep is King’s Landing, it’s more likely that it’s the Lannister home of Casterly Rock.

Tron: Legacy Director Reportedly Eyed for Top Gun 2
Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski is reportedly the frontrunner to helm Top Gun 2.
Variety reports Kosinski is the number one directorial choice for Paramount and Skydance Pictures, and while no offer has been made yet, one is believed to be imminent.

X-23 Movie ‘More Likely To Be Its Own Film’
Full spoilers follow for Logan.
You loved Laura, a.k.a. X-23, in Logan, eh? After all, who didn’t adore the character played by Dafne Keen in the final Hugh Jackman Wolverine film?
Well, it sounds like we just might be getting more of Keen as the Logan clone in a future movie. Despite the seeming conclusive end of Logan, there have been increasing whispers from the filmmakers involved -- namely director James Mangold and producer Hutch Parker -- that Laura may yet return.

8 New Talking Points About Star Wars: The Last Jedi
While a new magazine article confirmed many longstanding rumors about certain new characters and locations to be seen in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, it also raised a few new questions and revved up our nerd theory engines.
Here are the eight biggest things we're most curious about after reading Vanity Fair's cover story and seeing Annie Leibovitz's portfolio of cool new photos, starting with ...
We learned at Star Wars Celebration that Kelly Marie Tran plays The Last Jedi's most pivotal new character, Rose, a maintenance worker in the Resistance who teams up with John Boyega's Finn.

New to Netflix for June
Netflix in June features the return of Orange is the New Black - which looks like it might be getting even darker now that Emmy rules prohibit it from getting a nomination as a "Comedy" now.
And speaking of Orange, that show's creator, Jenji Kohan, has executive produced a new Netflix series called GLOW - about the cult '80s women's wrestling series, starring Alison Brie and Ellen Wong. That's also on the slate for June.
You'll also get to see, thanks to that CW/Netflix deal, new seasons of Arrow and The 100 (and presumedly The Flash too) as they'll arrive shortly after the season finale dust settles. There's also Zodiac, Full Metal Jacket, My Left Foot, The Sixth Sense, and Netflix Originals like The Ranch and Flaked.
Leaving Netflix in June
The time for Dads and Grads is almost here and if you're looking to spend your first weeks of summer break binging up a storm on Netflix, then you should probably take a look at what's leaving the streaming site in June.
The Blair Witch Project, This is Spinal Tap!, and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids are all on their way out while all 8 seasons of CSI: NY are vanishing as well.
Bruce Lee's The Way of the Dragon is also on borrowed time, along with Daddy's Home, Serendipity, The Hustler, and the Three Musketeers.
Kingdom Hearts Designer Offers His Take on the Joker
Kingdom Hearts director and longtime Final Fantasy character designer Tetusya Nomura has offered his take on the Joker with a new figure.
Like Nomura's interpretations of Batman and Catwoman, his Joker redesign is striking, eccentric, and certainly a unique take on the DC villain. As part of Square Enix’s DC Universe Variant Play Arts Kai line, the figure will release sometime this fall. You can preorder the figure now on Amazon Japan.
