Marvel launching ‘All-New, All-Different’ Universe this September
Marvel is doubling down on reconfiguring their Universe this September, post-Secret Wars. And I have to say, I’m intrigued. I’m intrigued, and really confused. How will this universe shake out? Who is stepping into the role of classic heroes? What is canon? What isn’t canon? Maybe, just maybe this confusion is what Marvel wants. My intriguing leading to them making them ducats as I buy issues to find out. And as an aside: “All-New, All-Different” line-up they say. Yet it’s boring ass Iron Man smack dab right in the middle of the promo image, fwiw.
‘Gears of War’ studio renames themselves “The Coalition”
Black Tusk Studios ain’t no more! In its wake has risen THE COALITION. Which is a cheesy name, but you know what? Who fucking cares about a studio’s name. Here’s hoping Gears of War 4 is the berries. That’s what matters.
Yahoo is in talks for seventh season of ‘Community’

Matthew Vaughn & Jon Favreau considered for second ‘Star Wars’ Anthology flick, starring Solo and Fett
Two pretty mediocre directors are being considered for the second Star Wars Anthology flick. Oh, and the potential story for the film seems pretty drab, too.
James Wan officially directing ‘Aquaman’ and ‘Robotech’
I don’t think James Wan is a particularly good director. His aesthetic choices in Furious 7, especially following the master auteur Justin Lin’s vision of the franchise, were certainly off-putting to me. But he’s accessible enough, and capable of helming an enormous flick. Now he’s helming two.

Marvel’s ‘Spider-Man’ director search narrowed down to Ted Melfi and Jonathan Levine
Why was I still laboring under the delusion that Drew Goddard was running the Spider-Man project? Is he writing it or something? Or is it just wishful thinking, post-Daredevil? Anyways. Marvel’s search is down to these two dudes.
