Get up close with Godzilla: King of the Monsters’ take on Ghidorah. Disney’s Jungle Cruise movie gets a delay. Stephen Amell dispels a suitably ludicrous rumour about the DC/CW crossover. Plus, a bizarre look at Freddy Krueger’s return, and what’s to come in next week’s Doctor Who. To me, my spoilers!

Arrowverse 2018 Crossover
Contrary to fan speculation, Jensen Ackles is not playing Batman, according to officially licensed #1 Grant Gustin fan Stephen Amell.
Let me squash this rumor right now. @JensenAckles was on set tonight because he’s Grant Gustin’s #2 fan (I’m #1) and not because he’s playing The Batman.
