On this episode of Collider Movie Talk (November 30th, 2016) John Campea, Jeremy Jahns, Kristian Harloff, Jon Schnepp, Ashley Mova and Wendy Lee discuss the following:
While the Han Solo movie is already well underway, many fans have been wondering (and hoping) that a solo Obi-Wan Kenobi movie will be one of theStar Warsstories we’ll see on the big screen.Ewan McGregorhas been very vocal about reprising his role as the Jedi master and now,according to Geek Tyrant who was visiting the Rebel Force Radio podcast this week, EW writerAnthony Breznicansuggested that the reason a Kenobi movie hasn’t been announced is becauseKathleen Kennedyand the rest of Lucasfilm are planning on incorporating him into the current trilogy in some way. He told Rebel Force that he has heard rumors about Obi-Wan not being done yet with the saga films and he wouldn’t be surprised to see a solo film beyondStar Wars:Episode IX.
Many fans have wondered ifRogue Onedid well enough at the box office, would there be a chance for a sequel down the line? Lucasfilm presidentKathleen Kennedy just made it perfectly clear in Empire Magazine that it isn’t happening, even ifRogue Oneturns out to be a box office hit. Visual effects artistJohn Knollalso emphasized thatRogue Oneis and was always intended to be a self-contained film.

Hey collider crew! With the upcoming release ofAssassin’s Creed, I’ve been thinking a lot about the futureUnchartedmovie.Unchartedis my favorite game series and to me the key to this film working is who is cast as Nathan Drake. Personally I likeJensen AcklesfromSupernaturalhe has the right look and charm needed to play the role. Who are a few actors you could see in the role? Thanks for taking my question!

Hey everyone I have a question regarding Superman’s death in BvS and the DCEU as a whole. At the end of BvS we see a newspaper article stating that Superman died and another article stating that Clark Kent was “killed reporting Gotham battle”. If Superman comes back to life wouldn’t he have to live under a different identity now that everyone thinks that both he and Clark are dead? Your thoughts and insight?
