Every Secret Hidden in Game of Thrones’ Season 7 Trailer
The Great War is coming in Game of Thrones, and the Season 7 trailer gave us a preview of some of the epic battles and political showdowns we can expect this year.
The biggest fight showcased is a clash between Daenerys’ Dothraki and Unsullied army with Queen Cersei’s Lannister forces. Even Drogon gets into the fight in the coolest moment of the trailer. There seem to be two elements of this massive battle: first, the showdown between the Dothraki and Lannister army in an open field, and second, the Unsullied overtaking a Lannister keep. While there is a chance this keep is King’s Landing, it’s more likely that it’s the Lannister home of Casterly Rock.

X-23 Movie ‘More Likely To Be Its Own Film’
Full spoilers follow for Logan.
You loved Laura, a.k.a. X-23, in Logan, eh? After all, who didn’t adore the character played by Dafne Keen in the final Hugh Jackman Wolverine film?

While a new magazine article confirmed many longstanding rumors about certain new characters and locations to be seen in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, it also raised a few new questions and revved up our nerd theory engines.

New to Netflix for June
Netflix in June features the return of Orange is the New Black - which looks like it might be getting even darker now that Emmy rules prohibit it from getting a nomination as a "Comedy" now.
And speaking of Orange, that show's creator, Jenji Kohan, has executive produced a new Netflix series called GLOW - about the cult '80s women's wrestling series, starring Alison Brie and Ellen Wong. That's also on the slate for June.
You'll also get to see, thanks to that CW/Netflix deal, new seasons of Arrow and The 100 (and presumedly The Flash too) as they'll arrive shortly after the season finale dust settles. There's also Zodiac, Full Metal Jacket, My Left Foot, The Sixth Sense, and Netflix Originals like The Ranch and Flaked.

Bruce Lee's The Way of the Dragon is also on borrowed time, along with Daddy's Home, Serendipity, The Hustler, and the Three Musketeers.

As part of Square Enix’s DC Universe Variant Play Arts Kai line, the figure will release sometime this fall. You can preorder the figure now on Amazon Japan.
