The first full month of Summer 2018 closes out with the next spin-off side story of the Star Wars saga in Solo, as a young Han Solo joins a criminal crew working a job for a major underworld boss.

Han Solo and his partner Chewbacca join a criminal crew being assembled by a dangerous underworld figure in the upcoming Star Wars Story prequel, Solo, arriving in May.

The full length Kung Fury signs on two massive co-stars, Ryan Murphy signs a historic deal with Netflix, Five Nights at Freddy’s gets a director, Willy Wonka may be rebooted yet again and more in this week’s News Shotgun.

Tom Hardy stars as Eddie Brock in the upcoming solo movie starring everyone’s favorite Lethal Protector, Venom, although this first teaser doesn’t give us any sort of look of what Venom will actually look like.

After lots of messy and public behind the scenes drama, our first look at Solo, the next “Star Wars Story”, is here as Alden Ehrenreich takes on the iconic role in a prequel that finds the young smuggler joining a crew for a job that includes Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian.

Disney buying Fox for $52.4 billion, Dick Tracy getting a reboot at Archie, 48 Hours getting a remake, Netflix developing a new She-Ra, Woody Harrelson in talks to join the Venom movie and much more in this week’s News Shotgun.

The third, and possibly final chapter, in the rebooted Apes franchise, War for the Planet of the Apes is an incredible, dark, epic story that finds Caesar (Andy Serkis) up against the fanatical and ruthless Colonel (Woody Harrelson), who will stop at nothing to wipe apekind out of existence.

War for the Planet of the Apes is finally here and appears to be one of the best movies of the summer while a critically acclaimed romantic comedy and terrible seeming horror movie also open this week.
