Variety reports that Person of Interest actor Winston Duke has landed the key role of the villain M’Baku, aka Man-Ape, in Marvel’s upcoming Black Panther movie starring Chadwick Boseman. The film is directed by Creed helmer Ryan Coogler and also stars Michael B. Jordan and Lupita Nyong’o. A release date is set for Feb. 16, 2018.

Filming of Spider-Man: Homecoming has moved from Atlanta, Georgia to Peter Parker’s hometown of Queens, New York and now, a new rumor claims the film might feature yet another previously unreported villain — Nightwatch. According to Bleeding Cool, Sony employees have begun buying up any and all comic books that feature Nightwatch which, in the past, and as the cite notes, has usually indicated that a character is planned for an upcoming movie. Marvel has not confirmed the character so this is just a rumor as of now. Spider-Man Homecoming is set to hit theatres on July 7th, 2017.

According to a report from THR, Blue Sky Animation, the company behind the Ice Age franchise and the most recent The Peanuts adaptation, will produce a musical adaptation of Garth Nix's upcoming book Frogkisser, a new take on the Princess and the Frog fairy tale. The film is reported to be a hybrid of live-action and animation, which will follow Princess Anya, who has the "unfortunate ability to break curses with a magic-assisted kiss." No release date has been set.

According to THR, Open Road Films and the filmmakers behind Max Steel have lost their bid for a kid-friendly PG rating, with the movie going out with a PG-13 rating when it opens in theaters Oct. 14. The Classification and Ratings Administration upheld the PG-13 rating after a hearing Wednesday in Los Angeles for "some sci-fi action violence."
