With Luke Skywalker killed off in previous movie, The Last Jedi, there are no characters left to bare that name. Could Kylo Ren – the son of Han Solo and Leia Organa (really Skywalker) – be the character referred to? He seems fairly beyond redemption at this point but we could be wrong! In a new interview director JJ Abrams sheds a little light on what The Rise of Skywalker might really mean. “The title feels like…
After weeks of filming it has been announced that Birds of Prey has now wrapped principal photography.

A couple of weeks ago I found myself with an urge to step back in time 10 years and re-watch Joss Whedon’s short lived, Dollhouse. I’m sure it’s a show many remember for being on the cancellation bubble from pretty much the moment it first aired on TV.

Whedon was yet to direct a Marvel Studios movie and was coming off the back of Buffy, Angel and the rapidly approaching cult status Firefly. The prospect…
