There have been quite a few Star Wars rumors doing the rounds over the past couple of weeks, and these latest reports relate to a couple of characters fans have been anxious to see return to the galaxy far, far away for quite a while.

First up, The Direct has heard that a Darth Maul series is in the works at Disney+, and the character is expected to feature in “multiple” shows over the next few years. The former Sith Lord made a memorable appearance at the end of Solo: A Star Wars Story, and it’s assumed that his show will take place after the events of that movie. Emilia Clarke’s duplicitous Qi’ra  is said to “feature prominently in the series.”

In addition, The Illuminderdi reports that the Obi-Wan Kenobi series is scheduled to commence production in Los Angeles next March. Most big productions have been forced to restrict filming to closed sets because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, but the untitled Obi-Wan show is expected to make use of The Volume – the virtual filming environment that was so integral to first season of The Mandalorian.

Ewan McGregor will return as the former Jedi Master, and there are rumors that Hayden Christensen may reprise the role of Anakain Skywalker/Darth Vader. Deborah Chow (The Mandalorian) will direct all of the first seasons episodes from a script by Joby Harold (Bumblebee).

The Boys are set to return for more ultra-violent adventures on September 4, and it was announced tonight during the show’s Comic-Con@Home panel that Amazon has given the series an early Season 3 renewal.

A new Season 2 clip also debuted, and in it we find out exactly why Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) and his associates Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara), Mother’s Milk (Laz Alonso), “Wee” Hughie Campbell (Jack Quaid), and The Frenchman (Tomer Kapon) were covered in blood in that recent promo image! What is it with this show and its penchant for gruesomely murdering sea mammals?

An unfortunate sperm whale is the latest victim, as the speedboat Butcher is driving rams straight through the poor creature when The Deep (yes, that dickhead) attempts to use him to block the gang’s path to shore.

Check out the clip below along with a new Season 3 announcement banner featuring The Seven.

The even more intense, more insane season two finds The Boys on the run from the law, hunted by the Supes, and desperately trying to regroup and fight back against Vought. In hiding, Hughie (Jack Quaid), Mother’s Milk (Laz Alonso), Frenchie (Tomer Capon) and Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) try to adjust to a new normal, with Butcher (Karl Urban) nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, Starlight (Erin Moriarty) must navigate her place in The Seven as Homelander (Antony Starr) sets his sights on taking complete control. His power is threatened with the addition of Stormfront (Aya Cash), a social media-savvy new Supe, who has an agenda of her own. On top of that, the Supervillain threat takes center stage and makes waves as Vought seeks to capitalize on the nation’s paranoia.

The Boys will return to Amazon Prime this September.

While production isn’t slated to begin for a few more months, Sony’s Spider-Man: Far From Home sequel is facing another delay as the studio has pushed the Tom Holland-starrer one month from November 5 to December 17, 2021.

The prime holiday release date became available earlier today when Walt Disney Studios decided to vacate and move James Cameron’s Avatar 2 to December 16, 2022. The House of Mouse also made a number of other changes, moving back their entire Avatar slate and also redating a number of Untitled Star Wars films as well as Niki Caro’s Mulan., which was removed from the calendar entirely. 

Plot details for the currently untitled Spider-Man 3 are being held under wraps for now, but Jon Watts will be back in the director’s chair with a screenplay from Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. In addition to Holland, Zendaya, Marisa Tomei, and Jacob Batalon are expected to reprise their roles as Peter Parker’s closest allies. J.K. Simmons is also rumored to appear.

Looking ahead on the calendar, Spider-Man 3 will now open one week before Warner Bros./New Line’s Black Adam starring Dwayne Johnson and Warner Bros.’ Sherlock Holmes 3 starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. However, considering neither of those films are expected to begin production until next year, at the earliest, it seems like their may be more changes on the way.
