The Ant Man sequel has slowly been giving fans little teasers over the last few weeks, and the latest bit of new news is the addition of a cast member in an unspecified role. Walter Goggins, from The Hateful 8 and HBO's Vice Principals, has been added to the cast, leaving all of us to wonder who he's going to play. While the plot has been largely kept under wraps, we do know that Ant Man will develop Evangeline Lily's Wasp, who's costume was seen at the end of the first film. Hopefully we'll hear some solid details about the 2018 Marvel flick this weekend at SDCC but until then, we'll just have to keep the rumor mill spinning.

The next Batman film has had quite a handful of shakeups and it looks like the original script has been scrapped entirely. The solo film which was planned to be led by actor Ben Affleck, and was originally slated to be directed and written by the Batman v Superman star, only to have left both positions. After Matt Reevers (Cloverfield, War for the Planet of the Apes), stepped in to helm the project, it's now been reported that Affleck's script has been canned for a completely new direction. Confirmed on the Happy Sad Confused podcast on MTV, Reeves has described the new story as having a noir feel, being completely different from what was planned.

Netflix's monster hit, Stranger Things, was one of the biggest pop culture stories from 2016. The sci-fi series went on to win a number of awards and received critical acclaim from both critics and audiences.

The 21st Pokemon film is due out at the end of this week but it's making one very large change to the series canon. Pokemon the movie: I choose you! is a retelling of the first season of the Pokemon anime, during which Ash and Pikachu meet for the first time and go on their first adventure together. If you have seen it, you can remember that an integral part of the first season of the anime, featured both Brock and Misty, who leave their respective gyms to travel alongside ASH and have been featured in a number of seasons and films thereafter but, with this new movie, Ash's history is changing. Kotaku has reported that the newest film will replace both of the characters for two brand new companions, Makoto and Souji, as well as a handful of other characters we've yet to see. The movie also appears to promote the latest legendary Pokemon, Marshadow, along the slides introducing Ash's new friends. While the movie appears to play out many of the original events, removing two of the series most memorable characters is an odd move. Pokemon the movie: I choose you! does not have a North American release date at this time but will be out in Japan July 15th.
