Fox is moving back their X-Men films, Dark Phoenix and New Mutants. There’s more fuel for the speculative fire about a certain big DC hero cameoing in Shazam. John Noble and Barack Obama (kinda) appear in new pictures from Legends of Tomorrow. Plus, the return of Dad Steve on Stranger Things, and new Infinity War posters. To me, my spoilers!

Fox has announced new, later US dates for the two X-movies: Dark Phoenix moves from November this year to Valentine’s Day 2019, while The New Mutants gets a hefty move from February 2019 to August 2019.

Elsewhere, the film’s young cast pose next to a statue of Batman.
Aquaman
James Wan took to Twitter for an update of his “filled to the gills” Aquaman movie, and why he’s been “slow… as a sea-slug” in delivering a teaser. Insert fish pun here.
Hey friends, I usually do my best to avoid internet noises (especially fabricated distractions) but a teaser-trailer going out this weekend was never in the books — despite what some claim. It’s not because of anyone or any nefarious reason holding it back — IT’S ME. (1/3)

I am simply not ready yet to share. This movie is filled to the gills with VFX, and the process is as slow and laborious as a sea-slug! Yes, even shots for the trailers take forever to do, and I refuse to put out anything that might be construed as subpar. (2/3)

I know it seems like nothing much is brewing above the surface, but I can assure you, we’re working nonstop under the waves ???? ???? (3/3)

Avengers: Infinity War
Five new posters separate the cast into colour-coded factions.
White Chamber
Oded Fehr and Amrita Acharia are sent to the iso-cubes in the first trailer for the upcoming mad science movie, White Chamber.
Titans
CBM managed to get their hands on a call sheet directly referencing scenes set in Bruce Wayne’s penthouse, bathroom and “computer room”.
Stranger Things
During a panel at Paleyfest, producer Shawn Levy specified season three will be set in 1985, and “won’t be abandoning the Dad Steve magic”.
We’ll definitely get to see some more of Steve Harrington in season three, and I’ll just say we won’t be abandoning the Dad Steve magic. I don’t want to say much more, but I literally feel that we were walking along and we stumbled onto a gold mine with Dad Steve.
