Another Familiar Face Is Confirmed For Bond 25

Godzilla: King of the Monsters teases an epic kaiju showdown. Jessica Chastain promises to take on the X-Men in Dark Phoenix. The new Aladdin remake could be adding new songs to the animated classic’s iconic soundtrack. Plus, a new look at the Kim Possible movie, and what’s to come on Titans. Spoilers, away!

Bond 25

Variety reports Rami Malek is currently “being eyed” to play the film’s villain, but shooting on the last season of Mr. Robot could potentially lead to him not taking the role. Meanwhile, the site notes, Lea Seydoux will return as Madeleine Swann, her Spectre character, and the production is looking for two more important female characters for the film—an MI6 agent who works with Bond, and, in true Bond style, “ a mystery woman.”

Us

/Film has an exclusive synopsis for Us, Jordan Peele’s follow-up to Get Out.

A mother (Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong’o from Black Panther, Star Wars: The Last Jedi and 12 Years a Slave) and a father (Winston Duke from Black Panther) take their kids to their beach house expecting to unplug and unwind with friends (including Emmy winner Elizabeth Moss from TV series The Handmaid’s Tale). But as night descends, their serenity turns to tension and chaos when some shocking visitors arrive uninvited.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters

Mothra and King Ghidorah are the latest kaiju to get their own viral videos from Monarch Sciences.

Meanwhile, Collider’s Steven Weintraub described the new King of the Monsters footage presented at CCXP over the weekend.

Dark Phoenix

At the same event, Jessica Chastain revealed her mysterious Dark Phoenix character will battle “all” of the X-Men “at the same time.”

Relatedly, Twitter user Terra Zero reports Simon Kinberg cited Secret Invasion as the film’s major source of inspiration.

Aladdin

Guy Ritchie’s live-action Aladdin remake will include “a couple new songs” according to lead actor Mena Massoud.

We’ve got all the original music in there, plus a couple of new songs. They’re really empowering. I gotta say one is very empowering for women, I think people are going to really, really dig it. The other one is awesome as well. We got the same guys who did La La Land and The Greatest Showman, we’re in good hands.
