The King of the North is heading to MCU. 

Multiple outlets report that Kit Harrington is set to film his next project with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Sources add that the Game of Thrones star will join one of Marvel and Kevin Feige’s superhero franchises.

According to Deadline, there’s a lot going on for Marvel and Disney at the D23 Expo this weekend in Anaheim, so it’s safe to assume that additional details will be revealed before the weekend is out.

Kim Cattrall is to star in the forthcoming British comedy The Cockfields

The Sex and the City star joins Ricky Gervais’ After Life stars Joe Wilkinson and Diane Morgan. The sitcom was penned by Wilkinson together with David Earl. Also starring are Sue Johnston, Bobby Ball, and Nigel Havers.

The comedy follows Simon (Wilkinson), who takes his girlfriend Donna (Morgan) back home for the very first time to make the occasions of his 40th birthday. Things, however, will not go smoothly for the two who spend a long weekend at the Isle of Wight as guests of Simon’s doting mother Sue (Johnston), and controlling stepdad Ray (Ball). Cattrall is set to play Simon’s father’s (Havers) new American girlfriend Melissa.

“David and I adore writing about this oddball family who, despite their faults and differences, love each other. We can’t wait to see our dream cast bring The Cockfields to life,” Wilkinson said. 

Earl added: “We’re both chuffed and incredibly thankful to UKTV for giving us this opportunity to share The Cockfields with the Gold audience. On a personal note, I’ve had to endure many months staring at Joe Wilkinson’s face over Skype whilst writing the scripts — he usually has food in his beard — so, after all that, I bloody hope everyone likes the show.”

The Cockfields is slated to debut sometime later this year.

Elisabeth Moss and Benedict Cumberbatch will topline The Power Of The Dog. 

The Handmaid’s Tale star and Avengers: Endgame’s actor will star in the forthcoming Jane Campion-helmed film adapted from Thomas Savage’s novel.

The story follows brothers Phil (Cumberbatch) and George Burbank. The two brothers are joint owners of the biggest ranch in their Montana valley. When George secretly marries local widow Rose (Moss), an angry Phil wages a relentless war to destroy her by using her son Peter as a pawn.

The Power of the Dog is a sublime novel that deserves a life on the big screen. I couldn’t stop thinking about the story, it really haunted me. The themes of masculinity, nostalgia and betrayal are an intoxicating mix,” Campion said. “It’s also rare to find a story where the themes, the plot and the characters build tension as they reveal each other and even the end is satisfying and unexpected. It will be the first time I’ve worked with a male lead, which is exciting. Phil is a charismatic and complex character who declares war on his brother’s new wife and her teenage son.”

The film is set to go into pre-production at the end of the year.

Colin Firth is set to star in the Cannes-bound WWII drama. 

The Oscar-winning actor has teamed up with Shakespeare in Love director John Madden for Operation Mincemeat. 

The film is based on Ben Macintyre’s bestselling book. Emmy nominee scribe Michelle Ashford wrote the screenplay.

Set in 1943 when the Allies are determined to launch an all-out assault on Fortress Europe. The film follows two intelligence officers, Ewen Montagu (Firth) and Charles Cholmondeley, who dream the most inspired and improbable disinformation strategy of the war — a lunatic and dangerously precarious undertaking centered on the most unlikely of secret agents: a dead man.

“In the context of WWII narratives, the story of Operation Mincemeat is unique — a bizarre and seductive cinematic blend of high-level espionage and ingenious fiction, where the stakes could hardly be higher,” said Madden. “Michelle Ashford’s script fuses multiple strands and moods: tense, romantic, thrilling, unexpectedly funny, and endlessly surprising. It tells a richly human story of the soldiers we seldom see, who fight a different kind of war in shadows and deception, haunted by the knowledge that certainty and guarantee of success are nowhere to be found.”

The film is scheduled to go into pre-production later this year.
