Prequels, Sequels & Remakes

Ghostbusters flier from WonderCon. What does it mean?!

The Wall Street Journal has leaked Toy Story 3’s plot: "Woody the cowboy and his toy-box friends are dumped in a day-care center after their owner, Andy, leaves for college."

Wolverine update: Dominic Monaghan as Blackwing; Taylor Kitsch as Gambit; Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool; will.i.am as Kestrel; Daniel Henny as Agent Zero; Danny Huston as William Stryker; Lynn Collins as Silver Fox.

Deathstroke (pictured above) was included in The Dark Knight’s line of toys unveiled at Toy Fair. While he’s not in the movie, Christopher Nolan okayed the figure, so maybe Slade Wilson will make an appearance in the future?

Streetfighter update: Michael Clarke Duncan as Balrog; Kristen Kruek as Chun Li; Chris Klein as Nash; Rick Yune as Gen. Moon Bloodgood, Taboo, Edmund Chen, and Cheng Pei Pei have also been cast, but still no Bison. Andrzej Bartkowiak directs, Justin Marks writes, and Dion Lam handles choreography.
