The weather is cold, but the Hollywood news is hot, and we round it up here.

Ryan Gosling is in talks to star in a new Star Wars feature to be directed by Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy, according to The Hollywood Reporter.  Gosling’s involvement would give the film, which has been in development since 2022 (see "’Star Wars’ Film Gets Marvel Director"), a jumpstart, likely moving it into production in short order.

DC has released a 30-second TV spot for Superman with new flying footage.  The trailer released last month, now viewed 53 million times on Youtube alone (see "’Superman’ Trailer"), showed other DC superheroes and Krypto, among other reveals.  Production has wrapped, and Superman will be released July 11, 2025.

In other Star Wars news, a new writer has been assigned to do a script for the upcoming film directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and featuring Daisy Ridley as Rey Skywalker (see "New ‘Star Wars’ Movies"), according to The Hollywood Reporter.  George Nolfi, who got the nod for this latest version, has blockbuster experience with his scripts for Ocean’s 12 and The Bourne Ultimatum.  The film will take place after Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, when Rey will attempt to rebuild the Jedi order after the fall of the First Order.

Marvel has released a 1-minute clip from Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, which will premiere on Disney+ on January 29.  The first trailer for the new series was released last month (see "’Your Friendly…’ Trailer").

TriStar has signed Nosferatu director Robert Eggers to co-write and direct a sequel to Labyrinth, according to Variety.  The 1986 original starred David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly and became a cult favorite. An earlier incarnation of the sequel was set to be directed by Scott Derrickson (see "Derrickson on ‘Labyrinth’").  Eggers is on the move after the release of Nosferatu, which is nominated for multiple Academy Awards (although no Best Picture or Achievement in Directing).  He’s already set a Christmas 2026 date for Werwulf, a follow-up to Nosferatu.

FX Networks has released a second teaser (see below) for Alien: Earth, the new series set in the Alien universe.  The series, created by Noah Hawley and starring Sydney Chandler, Alex Lawther, and Timothy Olyphant, will premiere on Hulu this summer (see "’Alien: Earth’ Teaser").
