I got word that [showrunner Dave] Filoni is really trying hard to get this one character back. I don’t think it’s a signed deal yet, but it’s close, and it looks like, in Ahsokareturning could be one Natalie Portman.
Silo
TV Line reports Jessica Henwick and Ashley Zuckerman have joined the cast of Silo‘s upcoming third season. Henwick is said to play “a whip-smart reporter” named Helen, while Zuckerman has been cast as the “young and hungry congressman,” Daniel.
Teacup
TV Line also reports Peacock has cancelled Teacup–the Yvonne Strahvoski-led TV series based on Robert McCammon’s 1988 novel, Stinger–after one season.
Daredevil: Born Again
Finally, Charlie Cox suggested he’s willing to continue playing Daredevil well into his 60’s during a recent panel at Fan Expo (via Screen Rant).
What’s weird is that in 2018 when the show was canceled, I suddenly had like breaking up period, like a mourning period. I was like ‘oh wow’. ‘Cause we thought we were going to do a season 4, and then that didn’t happen, and kind of overnight we got a phone call and it was like, ‘we’re done, it’s finished’. It felt like a break-up, a little bit, in a kind of a weird way. And then like all break-ups, of course we got back together.
But now I’m aware there will presumably come a time where it really does stop happening… and the longer it goes on the harder it will be to let go of… But when I was at Comic-Con I was chatting with a couple of the Daredevil writers, comic team, and they’re getting ready to release a Daredevil comic that takes place when Matt Murdock is in his 60s, so I was like ‘oh okay, great, so we’ve got some time.’
