Thor: Ragnarok

According to The Hashtag Show , the Cotati — a race of plant life - same alien that first appeared in Marvel ’s comic strip in 1975 — will seem in the film .

In the comics , the Cotati are not just the existence who awaken Mantis ’ telepathic force , but also come from the same homeworld as the Kree ( who have of course appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy already in the form of Ronan , as well as Agents of SHIELD ) , leading to surmise that Mantis , due to make her debut in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol . 2 , could make an early visual aspect in Ragnarok .

The nosecone of a Quinjet has been spotted on set — presumptively the same Quinjet the Hulk move AWOL in at the end of Age of Ultron .

Squirrel Girl

Shannon Purser , who play Barb in the outstanding Netflix serial publication Stranger Things , really wants to play Squirrel Girl :

I think Squirrel Girl is just lovely but at the same time is totally boss and completely awesome . I think people need a grapheme like that . It ’s easy in the superhero realm to feel like a lot of the female superheroes we see are grown women who are super responsible and know what their purpose is and that kind of affair . Squirrel Girl is a picayune bit untried and like a real person , sample to figure out her life and then also having to save the world . I bed that .

We should persist in to point out that there ’s currently no talk of a Squirrel Girl adaptation in the works — but thesudden uptick in interestfrom worker willing to roleplay the character might at least be a tinge to Marvel that there should be ? [ Revelist ]

Transformers: The Last Knight

Here ’s new art of Squeeks , Drift , and Crosshairs , revealed on the film’sFacebook page .

Moana

A new TV berth introduces the Lava Witch .

Legends of Tomorrow

The show is being “ rebuilt , slice by piece ” according to Phil Klemmer .

I hazard the big lesson is , before you fall apart a first episode , it ’s really authoritative that you take a step back and think about the ramifications of everything . Because we did n’t do a pilot burner , it was like stepping on a moving train , and we did n’t know where it was headed . you may change the speed of that train , conceivably you may have people carry up ahead and endeavor to move the track a little piece , but it ’s not well-situated to do . It ’s much easier to do at the brooding stage . We really take our hiatus this twelvemonth and lease the show apart , and rebuilt it piece by piece . We ’re much more deliberate , just thinking about where is this going to take us . A circle of the news report of time of year 1 feel like they were required because we put certain story elements into motion . You killed Rip ’s family line , you ’ve incur to avenge that . We tell that Vandal Savage is going to ruin the macrocosm , we ’ve bring to break that . Oh , we revealed who our bad guy is , that does n’t leave much elbow room for closed book .

Marc Guggenheim shed light on on the new Vixen :

You ’ve got Captain Cold , who was a vicious and out for himself . He ’s replaced by Vixen , who is the definition of a superhero . She ’s a member of the Justice Society of America , she ’s from the 1940s , everything is prim and right — not stuck up , but she does thing right . You have this squad that does n’t do thing right , they ’re a bunch of fuck - ups . So she ’s interesting counterpoint .

Gotham

Morena Baccarin teases Doctor Thompkins ’ new passion interestingness :

New eccentric : It ’s Falcone ’s Word . I call back I ’m allowed to order you all this . Nobody ’s stop me . A thunderbolt has n’t expunge me from the sky , yeah !

This new love interest is go bad to be very interesting because we ’ve only ever view Leslie with Jim . We ’ve only ever seen their love tale . And now there ’s something for him to work for . So it ’ll be … it ’s exciting as an doer to play that dispute . He ’s sure enough not a choir boy , so we ’ll see what happens with his life . It will not be well-off . So they ’ll have something to work towards .
