10 Biggest Movie And TV News This Week (June 7)

Hey folks, welcome to another edition of the WhatCulture news brief, where we bring you the latest batch of TV and movie news that dominated our RSS and Twitter feeds for the week. This week was a bit of a doozy, and we have plenty of major developments to dissect! Marvel has been taking a bit chunk of the limelight over the last few weeks, as we're still left reeling from the big Ant-Man shakeup. The studio is still having trouble finding someone to fill Edgar Wright's shoes, and have been taking quite a bit of flack for it. However, they have made progress elsewhere, with films like Doctor Strange, and with exciting casting news that finally gives a voice to Thanos, the Mad Titan of the MCU. Elsewhere, we have a few incredibly exciting Star Wars developments, which not only pertain to Episode VII, but the upcoming spin-off films as well. And, to top that all off, we have updates on Ghostbusters 3 (yep, it's still happening), Jupiter Ascending, Indiana Jones, and more! However, before we get to those stories, let's take a closer look at some smaller updates worth noting:

Honourable Mentions
