Keri Russell joins ‘Star Wars: Episode IX’

The latest addition to J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: Episode IX is no stranger to working with director. Keri Russell has worked with Abrams on Felicity and Mission: Impossible III. Now, the actress has been casted to join Episode IX where she’ll play a role that calls for action-heavy fight scenes. She’s proven to be able to handle this through her projects like Mission: Impossible, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and The Americans. Variety reports that Abrams is likely to cast two additional actors before production begins at the end of the month.

Spotify tests out new Lite app in Brazil

A stripped down version of Spotify’s app is currently being tested in Brazil. Spotify Lite will let users put a cap on the data used to listening to songs and the app itself is just 15MB (instead of the 100MB size of the full app). But there are a few caveats to this. It doesn’t have offline listening or high-quality playback, no Spotify Connect support (so no linking to your home speakers), and is currently available for Android users. You also can’t pick songs to play, everything is in shuffle, which as Tech Radar points out means the app might not be designed for premium account users. No word yet when it’ll make its way out of testing or out of Brazil.

‘Captain Marvel’ is done filming

With Ant-Man and the Wasp in theatres, the next Marvel film gearing up for its release has finally finished filming. Captain Marvel directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck celebrated the occasion with a post on Fleck’s Instagram. It shows the shooting schedule and highlights the date. It reads Friday, July 6^th, 2018 and has the text Day 75 of 75 underneath. The caption of the post has the words “We got next…”

Captain Marvel is set in the ‘90s, an era not yet explored by the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and follows Carol Danvers as she becomes one of the universe’s most powerful heroes. She tries to save the planet as we’re caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races. Captain Marvel is set to hit theatres starting March 8, 2019, which is also International Women’s Day. Something we’re thinking Marvel has done intentionally.
