Film Fondue: Boba Fett spinoff, and Joss Whedon for Star Wars

I don’t even know where to begin. Following a big Star Wars spread in Vanity Fair, we saw a ton of awesome Suicide Squad photos, giving us a more detailed look at Harley Quinn, Deadshot and Killer Croc. It got better, though, with news that a new Indiana Jones is on the way, and, on the Marvel front, the full cast and plot synopsis for Captain America: Civil War was revealed. No rest for the weary.

For TV fans, we saw news of a Supergirl show coming to CBS, and a trailer for Sense8, a Netflix original from the minds of the Wachowskis (The Matrix).

Age of Ultron was only the beginning of a big summer, and an even bigger next few years. It’s never been a better time to be a comic/sci-fi/horror fan. That said, are we reaching peak superhero? Civil War is seemingly Avengers 2.5, what with Black Panther, Baron Zemo, Ant-Man, Vision, Scarlet Witch, and others set to appear. And the movie is only a year away.

We’ll have plenty more in the coming days and weeks. While we catch our breath, check out some of the rumors, announcements, and trailers we didn’t get a chance to check out.

Say hello to Cyclops’ parents in X-Men: Apocalypse

Director Bryan Singer has been slowly revealing concept art and behind-the-scenes photos from his new movie, X-Men: Apocalypse, and this latest image shows off the parents of Cyclops (Tye Sheridan) and Havok (Lucas Till). They look concerned—and in need of a good interior decorator. [BryanSinger]

John Wick 2 is a go

John Wick was a sleeper action movie that took a lot of people by surprise. Keanu Reeves isn’t exactly young anymore, but he proved he can still churn out a solid leading man performance. To capitalize on that momentum, a sequel has been confirmed, which is awesome considering how much we loved the first film was. You’d think by now, though, that people would know not to mess with John Wick. [ComingSoon]

Boba Fett origin story

Everyone’s favorite bounty hunter is getting his own origin story. We’ve been hearing for quite a while that Boba Fett would get his own stand-alone movie, and The Wrap is reporting it’s pretty much a done deal. Now if Disney could just find a director; also, I wonder who will be chosen for the leading role? I choose me. [TheWrap]

Spider-Man is close to getting a director

Like its list of actors, Marvel Studios apparently has a short-list of potential directors for the upcoming stand-alone Spider-Man movie. Who are they? It’s quite the mix: Jonathan Levine (Warm Bodies), Ted Melfi (St. Vincent), Jason Moore (Pitch Perfect), John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein (Vacation), and Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite). Diverse, and a little unexpected. Drew Goddard (Cabin in the Woods) is also mentioned, though only as a cursory suggestion. [Latino-review]

Infinity War gets its writers

Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, who wrote Captain America: The Winter Soldier, will return for both parts of Avengers: Infinity War. That means the two scribes are teaming up with the Russo brothers, who were confirmed to direct the two-part finale. [HollywoodReporter]

Vacation gets a red-band trailer

Listen: I think another Vacation movie is a bad idea. Chevy Chase isn’t funny, and his aloof shtick ran its course many, many eons ago. Luckily, this is only a Vacation movie in spirit, instead moving to a new family and a new cast. This time it focuses on Rusty Griswold (the son) and his family, who decide to go on a road trip to Walley World. It sounds awful, but it looks a lot better than I thought it would. And its self-awareness is just perfect.

Three Stooges sequel

Speaking of movies that should never happen, the Three Stooges reboot is getting its own sequel. The old Three Stooges TV show will never stop being funny. But the slapstick formula is only tolerable in small doses. In a more contemporary setting, and over a full-length film, the charm is lost, and the more vulgar approach of the reboot just isn’t as funny. But it’s happening, for better or worse.

Joss Whedon for Star Wars?

Now that Joss Whedon is no longer tied up with Avengers duty, Lucasfilm is apparently eyeing him for a Star Wars job. With Josh Trank abandoning his untitled Star War spinoff, could Whedon be a front-runner? It’s a tantalizing prospect, but probably won’t happen.

Tesla Model S update promises to solve “range anxiety”

Tesla announced a new update coming to its Model S car this year which should make it impossible to ever drive too far away from a charging station, at least on purpose. The company also confirmed plans to add auto-steering features later this year. Ahead of the recent event, CEO Elon Musk promised to kill “range anxiety” once and for all, describing the concern some Tesla drivers feel over whether they’ll be able to reach a charging station in time. Once the firmware update (version 6.2) hits, it will add a Range Assurance application that keeps track of your location and the nearest chargers. The app, which always runs in the background, will send a notification to the driver if he or she is about to wander out of range so that they can turn around in time. “This makes it effectively impossible for a Model S driver to run out of range unintentionally,” Musk said. Version 6.2 should roll out in the next two weeks. It also includes a new Trip Planner feature that helps map out long...

Comcast Xfinity Share app lets you stream video to a friend’s TV

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo Comcast just announced its own live streaming app to compete with Periscope and Meerkat . Xfinity Share is available now for Android and iOS, though it’s pretty limited at the moment. The new app lets you stream video from your smartphone straight to someone else’s phone or TV. However, you both need to be paying for Xfinity Triple Play service and have access to the company’s X1 set-top box software . Comcast is still working on rolling out X1 to many of its customers, so for now Xfinity Share’s scope will be extremely limited. Still, the potential here seems pretty obvious. Periscope and Meerkat may appeal to a younger generation, but for everyone else Comcast’s solution sounds a lot more practical. Based on the company’s own renders, you could go from watching TV to watching a live stream with just a few clicks from the remote. Down the road, Comcast also plans to offer new features that should expand what Xfinity Share can do. That include...

Apple Maps may finally get public transit directions with iOS 9

A new report from  9to5Mac  says Apple Maps will finally get public transit directions along with a few other new features in iOS 9. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard similar claims , but hopefully this time the rumors are true. According to the generally reliable Mark Gurman, Apple “hopes” to include subway, bus and train directions with iOS 9. The update may add a new trip planning feature and a special public transit view as well. The company is also hoping to debut indoor mapping this year. Apple is already using small iBeacon-equipped robots to map indoor spaces, though it’s unclear if the new feature will be ready in time. Apple Maps has gotten progressively better over the past few years, but it’s still missing a key feature for anyone who lives in a city or relies on public transportation. Of course, that’s just a small fraction of the company’s massive user base, so it makes sense that Apple isn’t in a rush to add subway directions. If Apple does announce th...
