The third movie in the latest Jurassic Park trilogy is set to be released in 2021 and will see the return of Chris Pratt as Owen Grady and Bryce Dallas Howard as Claire Dearing. It was recently announced that the upcoming Jurassic World 3 will feature old favorites Laura Dern (Ellie Sattler), Sam Neill (Alan Grant), and Jeff Goldblum (Ian Malcolm), but the exciting casting news doesn’t stop there. According to Variety, the film just cast DeWanda Wise, who is best known for starring in Netflix’s She’s Gotta Have It, in a leading role. In addition to She’s Gotta Have It, Wise has also been seen in The Twilight Zone reboot, the Netflix film Someone Great, and has appeared in episodes of many series, including Boardwalk Empire and The Good Wife. Wise hasn’t posted about the casting news on social media yet, but you can follow her on Instagram here. The new dinosaur adventure film will see the return of director Colin Trevorrow, who also helmed Jurassic World before J.A. Bayona took over for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
The upcoming movie was set up heavily by the events of Fallen Kingdom as well as the recently released short film Battle at Big Rock, which shows the state of society across the United States now that dinosaurs are roaming free on the North American continent. "Battle At Big Rock is a short film that takes place one year after the events of Fallen Kingdom," Trevorrow explained in an interview with Collider. "It’s about a family on a camping trip to Big Rock National Park, about 20 miles from where the last film ended. There have been a few sightings, but this is the first major confrontation between dinosaurs and humans." Trevorrow went on to explain that everything has been building up to Jurassic World 3, and that he's finally getting to make the movie he's planned on since he first got the gig with the first film. "The world is bigger than just the characters we’ve been following in the films," Trevorrow explained. "We’ve finally taken the story off Isla Nublar, we wanted to show a glimpse of that new reality. If this really happened, you’d see a series of random disconnected incidents that would create a pattern of chaos. I wanted to see one of those incidents."

Earlier this year, director Adam Robitel's Escape Room proved to be a surprising success at the box office, despite it having been released in January, a traditionally poor month to release horror films. Between the film's box office success and narrative potential, Sony Pictures announced they would be moving forward with a sequel. Escape Room 2 has announced its cast, which Deadline confirms as being Holland Roden (Teen Wolf, Channel Zero: Butcher’s Block), Indya Moore (Pose, Queen & Slim), Thomas Cocquerel (Table 19, The 100), Carlito Olivero (East Los High, Step Up: High Water), who will join the previously announced Isabelle Fuhrman, Taylor Russell, and Logan Miller. In the original film, an intriguing invitation bring six strangers together. Initially, they think they have gathered for a highly immersive escape room, but they soon make the sickening discovery that they are pawns in a sadistic game of life and death.
Together, they move from one terrifying scenario to the next as they find clues and solve puzzles. But the players soon learn that exposing their darkest secrets may hold the key to survive. The sequel was originally slated to hit theaters in August 2020, only for reports to surface that its release was delayed until November of 2020. Deadline, however, claims the film is still set for an August release. Robitel is returning to direct the sequel, having teased to ComicBook.com earlier this year his plans for a follow-up adventure. "At the end of the day, it is about strangers in a room getting killed," Robitel shared. "There's a formula that can work. But you gotta work twice as hard each movie to reinvent the wheel but you also have to be mindful of giving the audience what they really liked about the first movie." He added, "It's a tricky rope to walk, for sure. As you said, we did fire, we did ice, we did gravity, we did gas, so coming up with other ways to slice and dice the players is tricky because the last thing we want to do with the franchise is to rely on reverse bear traps and so forth. That was done so well with Saw and that's not our franchise. So yeah, it is challenging, but if there's a will, there's a way. I can't talk too much about it, but I think we have a cool way into the sequel that I think will be exciting and expands Minos mythology a little bit without going too far. We'll see, it is tricky."

Superman is going to speak his truth - so says a new promo DC Comics has released, in order to announce the next big development in Superman comics. That development will be Superman finally revealing his secret to the world: that Clark Kent and Superman are one and the same. It's a move that DC has explored before in both 1991 (Superman revealing his secret to Lois Lane) and 2015 (Lois revealing Superman's secret to the world via a newspaper article), but comic book retcons later reversed the latter reveal, returning Superman to a life of dual identities. However, Superman writer Brian Michael Bendis is about to put an end to that era. Here's what Bendis revealed about the milestone reveal taking place in Superman #18 on December 11th, during an interview with the New York Times. "On some level, this is what DC brought me here for. I didn’t want to stir things up right away. I had to earn my place." Some fans are understandably skeptical about this move, as comic book publishers are fairly notorious for introducing major status quo changes in order to drum up publicity and sales around property, only to eventually drop those big changes entirely, and revert back to the original state of affairs.
However, Bendis promises that this won't be the usual temporary switch tactic comics are known for: "I don’t do fake-out stories," Bendis said. "I did a story where Daredevil was outed — a different kind of outing — but that was his reality for 15 years... We wanted to do this because behind it is 1,000 brand-new Superman stories that have never been told." Bendis goes on to say that the change will also bring Superman to "the best version of himself," and that he and other DC writers Matt Fraction and Greg Rucka are already laying down hundreds of pages of story for this new era of Superman storyelling. January will also feature a two special issues of Superman that will show just how major this change is to the character and the larger DC Universe. "Everybody who’s ever been in contact with him is going to have a completely different perspective and reaction to this," says Bendis. "Some heroes are going to be thrilled, some heroes are going to be livid, some villains are going to change their ways." The final tease is how Superman revealing he is Clark Kent will affect the latter's employment status as a professional journalist. According to Bendis: "Excellent question," Bendis said. "And I promise you that is the first thing that Greg Rucka stormed up to me with when we started working on this."
