[Spoilers ahoy!]

Recently in Uncanny X-Men, fans have seen the death of Rahne Sinclair (Wolfsbane), one of the original New Mutants.

Today, we see Valkyrie fighting alongside the rest of the X-Men in War Of The Realms: X-Men #3. But it’s not the former Defender Val who faces the final curtain to Valhalla. There are other original New Mutants to play with. (via Bleeding Cool)







…



Psyche!

The War of the Realms: Uncanny X-Men #3 (of 3) is in stores now!

Trek Today reports that Star Trek fans sad to see the end of Ethan Peck‘s appearance as Spock, and who wanted more of Rebecca Romijn as Number One -- both on CBS All Access' Star Trek: Discovery -- will be pleased with the news that the duo will return in one of the four Star Trek: Short Treks episodes that have been announced.

Director Mark Pellington posted several images on Instagram telling fans that he had wrapped filming in Toronto on Chaos Theory, which stars Peck and Romijn. Pellington also used a hashtag in the post, #chabon, which may mean that Michael Chabon wrote the episode.

There was no mention of Anson Mount as Captain Pike.

Deadline reports that Harriet Dyer, star of NBC procedural drama The InBetween, is boarding Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man for Blumhouse-Universal.

Dyer joins the already announced cast of Elisabeth Moss, Aldis Hodge and Storm Reid. The pic will shoot in Dyer’s native country of Australia next month, specifically Sydney.

The Invisible Man hits theaters on March 13, 2020.

The Flash seems lost in the Speed Force right now on the big screen, as Ezra Miller’s Scarlet Speedster has been AWOL in the DCEU since 2017’s Justice League. The hero’s solo movie has passed through many different hands since then and recent reports have pointed to Miller himself vacating the role.

We Got This Covered’sbeen informed by its source that the Warner Bros. is entertaining the idea of introducing Wally West into the DCEU to replace Miller’s Barry Allen. We have to stress that this is just an idea right now and while there’s a chance it could happen, it’s too early to say for sure.

As for the Miller situation, the site reports that the Fantastic Beasts star’s continued career as the Flash is “up in the air” at the moment and could go either way. It seems the strategy of working Wally into the franchise is being used as a contingency plan just in case Miller does leave. Meaning that if he does depart, don’t expect a new actor as Barry in the DCEU, as the character will likely be swept aside in favor of Wally.

According to Deadline, New Line’s Annabelle Comes Home raked in $3.5M in its Tuesday night previews that began at 6PM, which is higher than both Conjuring pics’ previews (which respectively earned $3.3M and $3.4M). Industry projections believe that Annabelle Comes Home will file between $30M-$35M in its five-day run. By comparison, Blumhouse/Universal’s The First Purge made $31.2M in its first five days a year ago. Gary Dauberman’s feature directorial debut plays in 3,525 theaters today and tomorrow and jumps to 3,587 on Friday.

That figure is higher than the previews for the first Annabelle ($2.1M), The Conjuring producers’ production Curse of La Llorona ($2.8M), the $2.5M Tuesday night preview of First Purge, and just under Purge 3: Election Year ($3.6M). Annabelle Comes Home‘s Tuesday night is also under Annabelle Creation‘s Thursday night of $4M and The Nun‘s $5.4M (the latter being the biggest opener in The Conjuring universe and top earner as well at $365.6M).

According to Film Music Reporter, Pinar Toprak (Captain Marvel, Fortnite) has confirmed that she is scoring the coming DC Universe original series, Stargirl.

The series is based on the DC characters created by Geoff Johns and stars Brec Bassinger in the title role.

Stargirl is slated to premiere in 2020 on the streaming service.

Vertical Entertainment has released the official trailer for the sci-fi comedy Iron Sky: The Coming Race, which will be in theaters, On Demand and on Digital on Friday, July 19.

Synopsis: Twenty years after the events of Iron Sky, the former Nazi Moonbase has become the last refuge of mankind. Earth has been devastated by a nuclear war but buried beneath the wasteland lies a power that could save the last of humanity -- or destroy it.

Vampirella is flying high for her big 50th anniversary! Dynamite proudly announces that the upcoming Vampirella #1 has blasted through expectations and is a massive success! The upcoming issue by writer Christopher Priest, artist Ergün Gündüz and a range of top tier cover artists fronted by Frank Cho will have an initial print run of 130 thousand copies!

This historic number includes all orders through Diamond, specialty retailers and creator exclusive covers. This incredible sales number is the highest for a full price comic in Dynamite's storied 15 year history. Furthermore, 130 thousand copies is higher than all recorded paid circulation numbers for the original Vampirella magazine - making this possibly also the best selling Vampirella comic book of all time! Dynamite cannot wait to see where things shake out on the charts with such strong offerings from competitors in July!

Dynamite is confident in this blockbuster new series and made the first issue returnable for retailers, which is also continuing for the second issue to allow retailers to order aggressively with minimal risk and maximum reward. Retailers can order without worry and be prepared to serve the needs of Vampirella diehards who go back 50 years themselves as well as the growing crowd of new fans!

"We cannot express enough how appreciative we are for the support from fans, retailers as well as support from retailers outside of the direct market and talent who have created covers for their own sales," said Nick Barrucci, Dynamite CEO and Publisher. "We knew we had a great creative team on this title with the incredible Christopher Priest being complemented by the lush art of Ergün Gündüz, and breathtaking covers to match. The 50th Anniversary will only happen once, so everything had to be perfect. Everyone from the creative team, editorial and sales & marketing worked hard together at all levels to make this a success. It's incredibly gratifying to get such a welcoming response back."

Dynamite's team is already working hard to continue this success through the year and moving forward. Vampirella #2 features an eye-popping main cover from Stanley "Artgerm" Lau, perhaps the biggest artist in the industry today. Then the next issue is spearheaded by the iconic J. Scott Campbell. Each issue features additional covers from talented artists as well as top cosplay models. Maybe there will be more Artgerm... Maybe one of the greatest comic artists of all time will bow out with a Vampirella cover as his final work... With the multiple Eisner Award-winning Jordie Bellaire writing the ongoing Vampirella/Red Sonja and even more surprises in 2019, it's shaking out to be quite the celebration!

Initial orders for Vampirella #2 are due this Thursday June 27.
