So, yeah, the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer. Heard anything about it?
When Tim and Anthony recorded this week's show, they'd heard a little bit about the trailer, but it hadn't been released yet. Never ones to be deterred by a lack of information, they pressed forward with the show anyway, talking about a trailer they hadn't seen yet and analyzing the new Force Awakens movie poster they did see.
The Force is strong in this week's Inside The Mouse Castle. Here's what else is going on:
Disney Infinity will have a Star Wars: The Force Awakens play set that will launch on December 18 to coincide with the film's release. You know Tim couldn't resist sneaking that one in. Benicio del Toro (Guardians of the Galaxy) is expected to play the villain in Star Wars VIII: Insert Subtitle Here. We think it's a rule now that if you do a Marvel Cinematic Universe film, you have to do a Star Wars film. Spider-Man will start making appearances at Super Hero HQ, inside the old Innoventions building at Disneyland, beginning November 16. This makes our spider sense tingle. Was Steven Spielberg serious when he said he'd make a fifth Indiana Jones movie with Harrison Ford? We don't think so, but it's fun to think about. Mark Ruffalo will play Bruce Banner/Hulk in 2017's Thor: Ragnarok. The rumor is the movie will bring in elements from Marvel Comics' Planet Hulk story line. In an online Q&A, James Gunn shared a few details about Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2. He confirmed Nebula (Karen Gillan) will play an expanded role in the movie. Meanwhile, Groot will remain Baby Groot, much to the chagrin of Drax (Dave Bautista). Gunn is also hopeful Stan Lee will be back for another cameo appearance. Walt Disney's Fantasia will be back on the big screen for a limited engagement in November to mark the film's 75th anniversary. Tim and Anthony would like Miley Cyrus and Nicolas Cage to see it with them. They'll explains. For details, visit www.Fantasia75.com. Bob Iger has been inducted into the Toy Industry Hall of Fame. Apparently, Disney-themed toys have really caught on. It was inevitable. There will be a Descendants 2 on the Disney Channel. To quote Darth Vader: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"Enjoy!
