Tom Holland marks the end of production on Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The cast of the live-action How to Train Your Dragon 2 remake continues to expand. Plus, get another look at Outlander‘s final season. To me, my spoilers!
Faith
Variety reports Erin Doherty and James McAvoy are attached to star in Faith, a “supernatural drama” from director Paul Andrew Williams. The story follows Gina, “a hard-working and devoted single mother who meets a quietly enigmatic stranger, Michael. The presence of someone who appears to care for her brings a new and exciting dynamic to her life, despite the fact she knows nothing about him or what his intentions towards her really are. Is he a friend, a potential lover or something more sinister? When Gina’s life is abruptly turned upside down and Michael’s extraordinary true identity is revealed, she learns that she might just be able to embrace the beauty of living life fully again.”
How to Train Your Dragon 2
Deadline reports Phil Dunster has joined the cast of Universal Pictures’ live-action How to Train Your Dragon 2 as Eret, Son of Eret.
Scarlet Witch
A new rumor from leaker Daniel Richtman (via Comicbook) suggests that Wanda Maximoff may get a solo movie of her own as part of Marvel’s post-Avengers: Secret Wars plans.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day
According to The Direct and Comic Book, Tom Holland wrote a letter of thanks to the crew of Spider-Man: Brand New Day stating the project was “the most creatively fulfilling filming experience” the actor has “ever had.”
Firstly, I’m so sad this is coming to an end. It’s been tough and hard work, but working with you all every day has been such a joy. Thank you for making this the most creatively fulfilling filming experience I’ve ever had. Your hard work, dedication, talent, and kindness has been an absolute pleasure to be a part of and I can’t thank you enough. I’ve loved laughing with you all and I hope we do this many times over. This movie wouldn’t be a fraction of what it will be without you. So thank you from the bottom of my heart and I’ll see you next time.
