Miles Morales has more than staked his claim in the Spider-Verse as one of Marvel's resident Web-Slingers -- so he's probably ready for a new, crazy challenge, right? At the Spider-Man panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2019, a new series starring Miles Morales was announced, and he won't be alone! Miles is going back to the Multiverse in SPIDER-VERSE, a six-issue limited series by writer Jed MacKay and slew of artists including Juan Frigeri with Arthur Adams, Stuart Immonen, Stacey Lee and more, coming this October.

Here is the cover of SPIDER-VERSE #1 by Wendell Dalit, character designer on Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse!



In SPIDER-VERSE #1, out this October, Miles falls through a portal and Miles finds himself at the center of an adventure across the Multiverse that will feature a who’s who of creators and characters as the series spins forward. What other Spider-People will Miles meet? You'll have to pick up SPIDER-VERSE #1 to find out!

Discussing Film.net is reporting that the Disney+ ‘Cassian Andor’ series is moving forward and is currently eyeing to begin filming in June. The series will shoot in Europe.

This news comes following the announcement that the series was almost cancelled at Disney+ until Tony Gilroy, who also worked on the extensive reshoots for Rogue One, joined the project. He will write the pilot as well as direct multiple episodes of the series with The Americans’ Stephen Schaffer set to helm the series as its showrunner.

The untitled series focuses on Rebel agent Cassian Andor prior to the events of Rogue One in the early days of the Rebellion against the Empire. The show has been described as a “spy thriller” when plans for it were first revealed last year. It was also previously announced that Alan Tudyk will reprise his role as K-2SO from Rogue One alongside Diego Luna as Cassian Andor.

Also reported was that the series will be using flashbacks to show Cassian Andor’s early days.

Amazon's big-budget Lord of the Rings series will have to replace one of its lead actors.

Will Poulter, who joined the project in September, has had to drop out of the project due to schedule conflicts. The Hollywood Reporter reports that his deal never officially closed, and his casting was never confirmed by the streamer. Amazon declined comment.

The nature of his role was being kept under wraps, but he was said to be playing a lead role in the show based on J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy novels.

A search is ongoing to find another actor. Production on the show is scheduled to begin next year in New Zealand, where Peter Jackson's LOTR film trilogy also filmed.

BOOM! Studios revealed a first look at GHOSTED IN LA #7, the newest issue in the new original comic book series from GLAAD Media Award-nominated writer Sina Grace (Jughead’s Time Police), artist Siobhan Keenan (Jem and the Holograms), colorist Cathy Le , and letterer DC Hopkins about figuring out your life - and your afterlife - in Los Angeles, available in stores January 2020.

The one condition of Daphne's residency at the Rycroft Manor is that no one can ever find out about the ghosts and so far, Daphne is crushing it. Only, like, four people have found out. It's fine! Except, maybe not, because the most recent person to find out is her ultra-religious former roommate who knows too much about exorcism for comfort.

GHOSTED IN LA #7 features a main cover by series artist Siobhan Keenan and a variant cover by series writer Sina Grace.

GHOSTED IN LA is the latest release from BOOM! Studios’ critically acclaimed BOOM! Box imprint, home to popular original series such as Lumberjanes by Shannon Watters, Grace Ellis, Brooklyn A. Allen, and Noelle Stevenson; Giant Days by John Allison, Lissa Treiman, and Max Sarin; The Backstagers by James Tynion IV and Rian Sygh; Heavy Vinyl by Carly Usdin and Nina Vakueva; Fence by C.S. Pacat and Johanna The Mad; and Goldie Vance by Hope Larson and Brittney Williams.

Print copies of GHOSTED IN LA #7 will be available for sale January 15, 2020 exclusively at local comic book shops (use comicshoplocator.com to find the nearest one). Digital copies can be purchased from content providers, including comiXology, iBooks, Google Play, and the Madefire.

Deadline reports that Warner Bros. had more release date changes and announcements today in the wake of yesterday’s avalanche of news with dates for Matrix 4 and The Flash.

New Line’s DC Shazam! 2 will open on April 1, 2022 taking the place of an RSVP that the studio had for an untitled WB Event Film. There are no other major studio releases on that date and the date falls prior to Easter that year which is April 17.

In addition, the MGM co-produced Sesame Street film jumps from June 4, 2021 to Jan. 14, 2022, the MLK 4-day holiday weekend. The only other pic on that date is 20th Century Fox’s Nimona.

THR reports that Andy Cohen is the latest big name to land a show at Quibi.

The short-form streaming platform has ordered six episodes of animated series The Andy Cohen Diaries, which will chronicle "iconic and untold moments" from the life of the Watch What Happens Live host and Real Housewives franchise executive producer.

Variety reports that HBO Max is developing a series based on the Grisworld family from the National Lampoon’s Vacation films.

Titled The Griswolds, the series will see the titular family home from vacation and explore their daily lives in the suburbs of modern-day Chicago. Tim Hobert is attached to write and executive produce the half-hour single-camera series. Johnny Galecki and Holly Brown will also executive produce under their Alcide Bava production banner. Cory Wood of Alcide Bava will produce. Warner Bros. Television will serve as the studio behind the project.

The project represents a homecoming of sorts for Galecki, who starred as Russ Griswold in the third film in the franchise, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. The other films are National Lampoon’s Vacation, National Lampoon’s European Vacation, Vegas Vacation, and Vacation. The last of those was released in 2015 and starred Ed Helms as an adult Russ as he takes his own family on a trip that does not go as planned.

The New York Times bestselling, Eisner Award winning comics titan Robert Kirkman (Oblivion Song, The Walking Dead) is teaming with Eisner winning artist Chris Samnee (Daredevil), Eisner Award winning colorist Matt Wilson (Paper Girls, The Wicked + The Divine), and letterer Rus Wooton (The Walking Dead), to bring fans an all-new, full color, action-packed ongoing series—Fire Power—which will launch from Image/Skybound in May 2020.


“Getting to create a whole new world with its own mythology and rules is always the highlight of my life. Getting to do that with Chris Samnee is definitely a high water mark in this dusty old career of mine,” said Kirkman. “With a massive cast of characters populating this sprawling globe-spanning epic Chris has proven more than adept at handling anything I've thrown at him in the time we've been toiling away on this series in secret. Kung Fu, Fireballs, Chris Samnee, crazy action, Chris Samnee, Chris Samnee. What more could I say to get you excited about this book?”

This is the first new project from Kirkman since the surprise conclusion to his pop culture phenomenon The Walking Dead. Fire Power will more than fill a walker-sized hole in your monthly pull list. This new series also marks Samnee's return to comics after wrapping up his bestselling run on Captain America that concluded in early 2018.

Owen Johnson's journey to China to learn about his birth parents eventually leads him to a mysterious Shaolin Temple. The students there study to rediscover the Fire Power, the lost art of throwing fireballs. A power they claim will be needed soon to save the world. Will Owen Johnson be the first person in a thousand years to wield the Fire Power?

THR reports that, as the year-end holidays get underway in earnest this weekend with the debut of Sony's all-audience event sequel Jumanji: The Next Level, Clint Eastwood's drama Richard Jewell and the microbudgeted Blumhouse/Universal slasher remake Black Christmas.

Jumanji 2 is expected to top the chart with a debut in the $40 million to $50 million range, although Sony is being more conservative in suggesting $35 million.

Movies opening close to Christmas aren't traditionally known for big openings — outside of the recent Star Wars pics — but rather count on strong multiples during the final two weeks of the year.

This time out, Jumanji 2 opted to open a week before Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, whereas the 2017 Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle rode into theaters Dec. 20 with a $36 million domestic debut a week after Star Wars: The Last Jedi launched to $220 million.

Despite competition from The Last Jedi and other titles, Welcome to the Jungle went on to earn $404.5 million in North America and $962.1 million globally. (The challenge for Next Level — which sees the return of stars Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart — is to avoid being infected by the sequelitis bug that has doomed a number of franchise installments this year.)
