Strap yourself in, for there’s a big-screen Mega Man movie on the way!

As per The Hollywood Reporter, Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman are in talks to write and direct the adaptation for 20th Century Fox. The Joost and Schulman tandem are likely best known for the Catfish documentary, Paranormal Activity 3, and Nerve. Chernin Entertainment and Heroes’ Masi Oka will produce.

The beloved Mega Man franchise began back in 1987, and since then the property has gone from strength to strength, spanning over 130 games on varying formats in addition to a vast array of animated movies and series. For those unfamiliar with the Mega Man property, the titular character is an android who has to battle a plethora of villainous androids who have been reprogrammed by the nefarious Dr. Willy. As well as its addictive gameplay, the series is also famous for its musical numbers and ridiculous deep roster of bad guys.

Expect more on all of this as we get it.

With Tom Holland’s Web-head having now seen his first solo movie swing to the big screen, we already know that there’s plenty of future outings planned for this latest cinematic Spidey. And now comes an update on the Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel.

Via The Hollywood Reporter, Homecoming director Jon Watts is currently in talks to return for the Homecoming sequel. Given how amazing – or should that be ‘spectacular’ or ‘superior’, maybe? – a job Cop Car helmer Watts did with the Wall-crawler, it’s not exactly a huge surprise to hear that Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures are keen to have Watts return to tackle Spidey once more.

Having been on release for a fortnight now, Spider-Man: Homecoming has already brought in an impressive $470 million at the global box office. While we know that Holland’s Spider-Man will be present in next May’s Avengers: Infinity War and its May 2019 follow-up, Holland is also signed up for two further solo outings as Spidey.

As ever, expect more on July 2019’s Homecoming sequel as it continues to develop.

In terms of multiple versions being out there, Jack Finney’s 1954 classic The Body Snatchers has been adapted more times than we care to remember. And now, another new take on this classic tale is in the works.

As per Deadline, Warner Brothers has started to move things forward on a new version of Body Snatchers by bringing in David Leslie Johnson to pen the film’s screenplay. Johnson’s previous credits include the likes of Orphan and The Conjuring 2.

Previously, Finney’s The Body Snatchers was developed as a movie with 1956’s Invasion of the Body Snatchers. After that, 1978 famously saw another movie of the same name arrive, and then 1993 saw Abel Ferrara direct his own take with Body Snatchers. But that wasn’t all, for 2007 saw yet another version – titled simply The Invasion – dished out.

For those unfamiliar with this property, the basic premise sees a small town invaded by aliens that look to replicate the humans who live or lived in the same locale. As the aliens begin to multiply, a local doctor has the unenviable task of tackling this menace… all while never knowing who is real or who is simply a copycat alien intent of destruction.
