Riverdale is facing not one, but two major exits. Another familiar face teases their return for Jurassic World 3. Wonder Woman 1984 merch gives us a vague look at Cheetah’s final form. Giancarlo Esposito teases getting his hands on Baby Yoda in The Mandalorian season two. Plus, new footage from Onward and what’s to come on Doctor Who’s season finale. Spoilers, away!
The Batman
A new set photo gives us a better look at Robert Pattinson’s Batsuit (albeit not on Pattinson, but a stunt driver, so bear that in mind for the overall look and fit). It also reveals this Batman will be biking around on his own Batcycle, which has its own matching set of pointy ears.

Jurassic World 3
In light of Chris Pratt’s recent comments, a seemingly innocuous tweet from Joe Mazzello may suggest he’s reprising his role as Tim Murphy in Jurassic World 3.
I think it’s time to get back to work. What do you say gang?

The Mandalorian
During a recent appearance at Fan Expo Vancouver, Giancarlo Esposito excitedly announced he will share scenes with Baby Yoda in The Mandalorian’s second season.
I love Baby Yoda, and I’m most excited about having some airtime with that baby. I have been able to get my hands on the Baby Yoda [puppet]. It’s brilliant how they’ve used what they know about technology to have this particular puppet be so real and exemplify so many different emotions that we have as human beings. It’s really wonderful.
