If you haven’t heard of Bryan Cranston over the past five years, you have likely been buried deep in the New Mexico desert. The rest of us know that he is on top of the world and an ‘A’ list celebrity that has perfected his craft in the film industry. His career has ranged from television and film over the past three decades and today was a HUGE day for Mr. Cranston. On the official Power Rangers Twitter Page, they announced the casting of Zordon. And of course the Internet went berserk.

Bryan is no amateur to the Saban Entertainment realm as he did some voiceover work on two villains (Snizard and Twinman) in the 90’s TV show long before he became the Heisenberg we all know and love. The Mighty Morphan Power Rangers was a pivotal part of my childhood and the casting of this film has been quite superb, but this casting announcement really sets the bar high for the film. The only cast member left is Zordon’s faithful droid Alpha 5, which has not been announced as of yet. Will Mr. Cranston rely on Walter White’s iconic shaved head to portray the galactic sage Zordon? I really hope so; seeing Bryan’s floating opaque noggin on the big screen is enough to the make film worth seeing. The film is scheduled to debut in theaters on March 24^th, 2017. It’s Morphin Time!!!!!

There has been much speculation that the most famous villain in cinematic history would be returning in the new Star Wars film, Rogue One. But it has been confirmed via Entertainment Weekly that the galactic man in black… no, not Johnny Cash… the heavy breathing Sith Lord, Darth Vader will be returning to the big screen in 2016. On the recent cover of Entertainment Weekly Magazine, it’s hard to miss the bold lettering “DARTH VADER IS BACK!”

The director of this film, Gareth Edwards (Godzilla), had big shoes to fill with the recent blockbuster success of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but that didn’t stop him with crafting a stand alone film that showcases how the Rebellion found the schematics and flaw in the Empire’s weapon of mass destruction. If THAT doesn’t sound enticing, I don’t know what does. Rogue One: A Stars Wars Story is already in the process of reshoots this month after the Disney executives were not thrilled with the final product of this film. This isn’t the first time that studio interference has got in the way of the film making process, as JJ Abrams went through the same thing with the last Star Wars film. Whatever this means, we know it’s for a good cause and I’m sure the final product that hits theaters this December will shatter box office records. It’s hard to conclude how much time Darth Vader will be in this film, but it will for sure leave an imprint on the audience and fans across the galaxy. We can expect further details on Rogue One throughout the week and more insight on the direction of this film as the clock winds down to the release date later this year.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is set for release on December 16th, 2016.
