Power Rangers 2
The Green Ranger — who is presumably involved in the post-credits stinger that the Power Rangers Twitter account is apparently more than happy to spoil already — is teased is a new motion poster, presumably for the already-being-planned sequel.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Speaking at USC Marshall, Disney CEO Bob Iger said that Leia’s role in the film has not been changed following Carrie Fisher’s tremendously upsetting death in December.
We’ve had to deal with tragedy this past year because Carrie Fisher passed away tragically in December, and she appears throughout [Episode] 8. What I can say about that is she is in 8 and we’re not changing 8 to deal with her passing. So her performance, which we’re really pleased with, remains as it was in 8.

Captain America 4
Chris Evans says its up to Marvel whether he’ll return to the MCU following the fourth Avengers movie — but he’s open to it.
It’s really not up to me. My contract is up. I’m not going to sit here and say, ‘No more.’ I think Hugh Jackman has made 47 Wolverine movies, and they somehow keep getting better. It’s a character I love, and it’s a factory that really knows what they’re doing. The system is sound, over there. They make great movies. If they weren’t kicking out quality, I’d have a different opinion. But, everything Marvel does seems to be cinema gold. And like I said, I love the character. The only reason it would end is ’cause my contract is up. After Avengers 4, my contract is done. Talk to Marvel. If we engage further, I’d be open to it. I love the character. It’s almost like high school. You certainly always look to senior year, and then, all of a sudden, senior year happens and you’re like, ‘I don’t know if I’m ready to go.’ It’s tough thinking about not playing the guy.

Lucifer
Showrunner Joe Henderson took to Twitter to explain why season two is apparently only 18 episodes long.
For #Lucifer, we will be airing the last 5 episodes of season 2 in May! 5 you say?? But the show is 22?? Where are my remaining 4 episodes?
— Joe Henderson (@Henderson_Joe) March 23, 2017
Well, we designed this season to be an 18 episode arc because we originally were going to be 18 episodes. But then we got 4 more! Surprise!
— Joe Henderson (@Henderson_Joe) March 23, 2017
So we decided to create four episodes that let us play around a bit. Dig deeper into the character stories, play with format a bit, etc.
— Joe Henderson (@Henderson_Joe) March 23, 2017
We didn’t know whether they’d air this season or next until now. Now we do. So bad news is you need to wait for them. And I know that sucks.
— Joe Henderson (@Henderson_Joe) March 23, 2017
But the good news is we’ll have at LEAST 22 episodes of Lucifer next season. Maybe 26?? Probably 24? Hard to say this early #Lucifer
— Joe Henderson (@Henderson_Joe) March 23, 2017
We’re doing four episodes that stand on their own, but also pick up plots we’ve introduced and bring in new stuff we’ll play with season 3 https://t.co/AcUryFzZ2m
