Spider-Man Reboot Release Date Moved Forward
Sony and Marvel's upcoming Spider-Man reboot will open in theaters on July 7, 2017.
The film, which stars Tom Holland as the web-slinging hero, was originally supposed to release on July 28, but Sony Pictures has opted to push its release forward by two weeks. In its place, the studio will be debuting its new Jumanji film, which has been moved from its prior release date of December 25, 2016.
Sony's Spider-Man reboot is being directed by John Watts and produced in partnership with Marvel Studios. In fact, Holland will be making his big screen debut as Spidey later this year in Captain America: Civil War. While the film's directors have remained tight-lipped on how Spider-Man will be entering the fray, details regarding his MCU debut may have leaked.

Along with this first look at Green Lantern Corps, DC Films' half-hour special also unveiled the first footage of Wonder Woman, as well as a brand-new trailer for Suicide Squad, which you can check out below.
Star Wars: Episode 8 Release Delayed
Disney announced today that they've pushed the release of Star Wars -- Episode VIII from its original May 26, 2017, slot to December 15, 2017.
The studio put a positive spin on the postponement, citing how Star Wars: The Force Awakens (which was also originally slated for a May debut) opened to record-smashing success in December.
The Episode VIII release date change announcement comes on the heels of a rumor that the Rian Johnson-directed sequel was getting a rewrite.
The rumor claimed that new characters in Episode VIII were getting their roles diminished in favor of Force Awakens breakouts and returning heroes Rey, Finn, and Poe Dameron. The report also claimed that shooting would be delayed a month, but Disney's press release today said Episode VIII is currently in pre-production and will begin principal photography in London next month.

The Hateful Eight director Quentin Tarantino has been talking about how all his movies exist in a connected Tarantino-verse, or rather, Tarantino-verses.
"There are actually two separate universes," Tarantino explained recently during an interview on the Australian talk show The Project. "There’s the realer than real universe, and all the characters inhabit that one. Then there’s this 'movie' universe, so From Dusk Till Dawn and Kill Bill take place in this special movie universe.
