Hey there, movie fans! Welcome to a new edition of THIS WEEK IN MOVIE NEWS, where we compile all the top movie news for the week and bring it to you all in one convenient place. So, without further ado, here's the news:
NEW ROGUE ONE TRAILER AND POSTER RELEASED
A brand new (and final) trailer for the upcoming Star Wars spinoff movie, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, dropped this week and was accompanied by and brand new, beautiful poster. Check them both out below:
While we've enjoyed seeing Ant-Man appear across the MCU, it's been a
mystery as to whether or not we will see his love interest, and
eventual partner, Hope Van Dyne pop up in any other films. They will
both star in Ant-Man And The Wasp in 2018, but Hope hasn't been confirmed to appear anywhere else. Until now.
The folks over at blastr
had a chance to speak with Evangeline about Hope Van Dyne's future, and
the actress let on a little more than expected. After talking about The
Wasp getting her origin story in Ant-Man And The Wasp, she revealed her involvement with the Avengers franchise. This is what she had to say regarding Hope's role beyond the Ant-Man sequel:
"Following that one, there's an 'Avengers' series coming out, its a two-parter. The Wasp won't be in the first part, she'll be in the second part, because they really want to preserve that reveal for 'Ant-Man And The Wasp'."
The next Avengers film will release on May 4, 2018, just before Ant-Man And The Wasp is released (July 6, 2018). Then, Avengers currently untitled fourth installment will hit theaters on May 3, 2019, giving The Wasp a chance to develop on her own before being thrown into the Avengers.

X-23 CONFIRMED FOR THIRD WOLVERINE FILM, LOGAN
Hot off the reveal of Boyd Holbrook playing Donald Pierce in Logan, we
have confirmation of two major characters that are set to appear in the
film.
According to Omega Underground, the third Wolverine movie, titled Logan, will feature the live-action cinematic debut of the mutant known as X-23, as previously rumored. She’ll be played by Sienna Novikov in the film — whose hand you can actually see holding the titular mutant’s on the first Logan teaser poster. In the film, she’ll be referred to as Laura. Check out the poster below:
The Wolverine clone first appeared on the X-Men: Evolution animated series, before becoming a major player in the comics. Currently, X-23 carries the mantle of Wolverine in her own series from Marvel Comics.
According to TheWrap, Logan follows, "a government-type operation called 'Transigen' that is turning mutant children into killing machines. Jackman ends up mentoring the girl, who has two claws instead of his three."
The site notes that Richard E. Grant’s character in the film is Dr. Zander Rice, a character from the comics who worked on recreating the Weapon X project.
Directed by James Mangold and starring Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Boyd Holbrook, Richard E. Grant and Stephen Merchant, Logan arrives in theaters on March 3, 2017.

UNRATED EVIL DEAD ARRIVES JUST IN TIME FOR HALLOWEEN
Fede Alvarez’s 2013 remake of Evil Dead will be getting an “Unrated Edition” to be released on October 25th, just in time for Halloween.
Being released solely on digital platforms, the new Unrated Edition carries an additional 5-minutes of footage "that was too intense for theaters, allowing fans the perfect chance to see Fede Alvarez’s unedited vision for the film." This will also be the first time that digital extras will be available on Evil Dead.
Jane Levy, who also starred in Don’t Breathe, took on Deadites in Evil Dead. The modern take followed five friends who head to a remote cabin, where the discovery of a Book of the Dead leads them to unwittingly summon up demons living in the nearby woods.
Check out the exclusive artwork and the trailer for the film below:

J.K. ROWLING ANNOUNCES FIVE MORE FILMS IN THE HARRY POTTER UNIVERSE
Warner Bros. has just confirmed that J.K. Rowling will continue the Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them through five more feature films.
The film announced the new movies on Twitter.
Fantastic Beasts was already set to receive two additional sequels, which were scheduled for November 16, 2018 and November 20, 2020 respectively, but that has now been extended to five films, which will most likely keep the same every two years tracking. Even though the original film doesn't release until later this year, the studio is quite confident in the franchise. With the rousing success of the recent "Cursed Child" play, they know the audience is always hungry for more Harry Potter.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is an all-new adventure returning us to the wizarding world created by J.K. Rowling. Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne (The Theory of Everything) stars in the central role of wizarding world magizoologist Newt Scamander, under the direction of David Yates, who helmed the last four Harry Potter blockbusters. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them opens in 1926 as Newt Scamander has just completed a global excursion to find and document an extraordinary array of magical creatures. Arriving in New York for a brief stopover, he might have come and gone without incident...were it not for a No-Maj (American for Muggle) named Jacob, a misplaced magical case, and the escape of some of Newt’s fantastic beasts, which could spell trouble for both the wizarding and No-Maj worlds.
Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them hits theaters on November 18, 2016.
