Idris Elba being cast as Roland Deschain in The Dark Tower was a genius move by Sony Pictures, but so too was the decision to have Matthew McConaughey take on the role of The Man in Black. In the movie, he'll be hunting down Jake Chambers because he wants to use the youngster's powerful psychic abilities to break the beams of reality and bring down The Dark Tower.
Warner Bros. has released a new promo for The LEGO Batman Movie which confirms that the movie is coming to the San Diego Comic-Con this weekend. In the fun little video, Will Arnett's Batman talks about fans being able to take a "sweet selfie" with him at the event, and the studio has since shed some light on what the minifigure Caped Crusader is on about.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is a movie which very nearly became mired in controversy at one point, but people quickly moved on from those troubling rumours about reshoots, something which was no doubt helped by the impressive sizzle reel Disney released this past weekend during Star Wars Celebration in London.
Marvel Studios concept artist Andy Park continues to share some of his amazing work from Captain America: Civil War, and the latest piece revolves around Spider-Man heading into battle against Giant-Man. These two characters coming to blows was arguably a highlight of the movie, and this is an absolutely incredible piece of work.
This weekend, Ghostbusters ended up reaching only #2 at the North American box office thanks to stiff competition from animated family movie, The Secret Life of Pets. With a predicted haul of $46 million domestically, the reboot has made a total of $65.1 million worldwide over the past few days and still has at least another thirty four territories to open in.
Let's not beat around the bush here: X-Men: Apocalypse was a bit of a letdown. The film failed to do anything fresh or exciting with the franchise and didn't strike much of a chord with audiences or critics. It's pulled in roughly $533 million at the worldwide box office to date, which is nothing to scoff at, but it was hardly the hit that 20th Century Fox was hoping for.
Despite the fact that it comes out this November, which really isn't too far away now, we still don't know a whole lot about Marvel's Doctor Strange. Sure, we've seen a trailer and a few bits of information have trickled out, but for the most part, the Scott Derrickson-helmed film has been shrouded in secrecy.
According to ILM President Lynwen Brennan, Lucasfilm has some very interesting plans for the Indiana Jones franchise.

During Star Wars Celebration Europe this week, Mark Hamill fielded questions from eager fans who were curious to learn more about his role in the upcoming Star Wars: Episode VIII.

Thanks to EW, we've been seeing a lot more from Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman this week.
