Greta Gerwig’s Chronicles of Narnia adaptation could snag a major star. Ryan Coogler’s Sinners gets an unsurprising rating. Plus, what’s coming on Severance‘s penultimate episode. Spoilers get!

Avengers: Secret Wars

Speaking to TechRadar, Joe Russo discussed how the film will incorporate elements from bot the 1984 and 2015 Secret Wars events in the comics.

Well, we always create our own version of the story. So, we use the comics as loose inspiration… but, you know, I grew up on the original run. That’s something that got me into Marvel comic books. The Hickman run is also fantastic [and they’re] very different from each other in a lot of ways, so we’ll draw inspiration from both of them.
