James Gunn will be writing the script for the next installment of the franchise for Warner Bros. and DC. Gunn is also in talks to direct the film.

Just a couple of months ago, the 52-year-old filmmaker was fired by Disney after a series of offensive tweets he had written years before resurfaced. The decade-old tweets made offensive jokes about race and pedophilia. Gunn, who directed the first two Guardians of the Galaxy movies had the support of almost the entire cast, however, Disney refused to go back on its decision to let the filmmaker go. Consequently, production on the upcoming Marvel sequel has been on hold indefinitely. 

“Regardless of how much time has passed, I understand and accept the business decisions taken today,” he wrote apologetically. “Even these many years later, I take full responsibility for the way I conducted myself then. All I can do now, beyond offering my sincere and heartfelt regret, is to be the best human being I can be: accepting, understanding, committed to equality, and far more thoughtful about my public statements and my obligations to our public discourse. To everyone inside my industry and beyond, I again offer my deepest apologies. Love to all.”

The first Suicide Squad told the story of a band of misfit and starred Margot Robbie, Will Smith, Joel Kinnaman, Jai Courtney, Jared Leto, and Cara Delevigne. The movie did not do well with the critics and made $746 million worldwide.

After it was reported that Connelly was in talks to join the sequel to the 1986 original, the news has been officially confirmed by no other than Maverick himself. 

Tom Cruise confirmed to ET that Connelly is to star in Top Gun: Maverick at the Mission: Impossible Fallout premiere in Washington DC over the weekend.

“Look, she’s a great actress, obviously. …When you see the film, you’ll see why she’s perfect for it,” Cruise told the outlet. “She has such a very talented, very vibrant, and, you know, see we’re just going to have a great cast. Gonna be a lot of fun.”

The sequel will be directed by Joe Kosinski, with original producer Jerry Bruckheimer on board for the second installment. The sequel will be set in a world of drone technology and will explore the end of the era of dogfighting.

Val Kilmer will reprise his role as Tom “Iceman” Kazansky and Miles Teller has been tapped to play the son of Goose. 

Top Gun: Maverick is set to release on July 12, 2019.

Warner Bros. had been developing an on-screen adaptation to Stephen King’s novel Doctor Sleep and sequel to The Shining for years now. Variety reports that the studios have finally decided to fast-track the project into pre-production. 

Set to star as all grown up Danny Torrance is Ewan McGregor, a casting that King himself has given a blessing to. 

Doctor Sleep picks up with Torrance in middle age, still haunted by the trauma of the Overlook Hotel. A spitting image of his father, a man who suffers from rage and a drinking problem, he works as a hospice nurse. Once he embraces sobriety, he uses his “shining” powers to ease the transition for dying patients at the hospice when he discovers that there is a way for his powers to grow. 

Mike Flanagan is directing and Trevor Macy is producing along with Vertigo Entertainment’s Jon Berg.

Whether Doctor Sleep will be a sequel to Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 film version of The Shining or the novel itself is not yet known. King himself told EW: “One of the things — and I’m not sure if this is going to be a problem for readers or not — is that Doctor Sleep is a sequel to the novel. It’s not a sequel to the Kubrick film. At the end of the Kubrick film, the Overlook is still there. It just kind of freezes. But at the end of the book, it burns down.”

The original adaptation of The Shinning starred Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall and Danny Lloyd as young Danny Torrance. 

You can see McGregor next in Disney’s new live-action Winnie the Pooh adaptation, Christopher Robin.

Jennifer Lee, who had directed Frozen, said at the opening:

“We’ve done amazing stuff on Frozen 2 and have a couple of songs already that are blowing my mind. We do about six screenings that we hand draw, and so I’m on the second draft, second screening. There’s no shortcut. What we have today hopefully will be 10% of what we have when it opens.”

Songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez added:

“We know the girls a lot better now. We’ve gone a lot deeper into their heads. We know the parents a lot better.”

Does that mean that the sequel will revolve around Elsa and Anna’s parents? Hopefully, we’ll have more details soon.

Director of the film, Luca Guadagnino, has said, “I’m already conceiving the story with André Aciman, and it’s gonna happen five or six years afterward, so almost in 1990. It’s gonna be a new movie, a different tone. You’ll see a lot of the East Coast of America – they’re going to go around the world.”

Part of what made the original so beloved was the performances of actors, Timothee Chalamet, and Armie Hammer, who were both nominated for an Oscar for their roles as Elio and Oliver, respectively.

The even better news is that the pair is likely to reprise their roles, with Armie telling IndieWire, “He broke down the whole script for us. I mean, it’s not a finished script, but he’s got all the ideas for it. Luca’s all gung-ho about it, and by the way, if Luca’s doing it, I think we’re all gung-ho about it.”

Although the film probably won’t be out before 2021, we can’t wait to hear what name it will be called.

Stallone shared a photo of him and Jordan on Instagram, captioning it, “Looking forward to directing and Producing The incredibly talented Michael B Jordan in CREED 2 next year … One more Round!”

The original Creed was directed by Ryan Coogler based on the script he and Aaron Covington wrote. It was a sequel to the Rocky film series that skyrocketed Stallone to fame.
