Rumor: Episode VII teaser on Captain America sequel?

Captain America

Jedi News’ prolific Jedi Master SQL is back yet again with another rumor: An Episode VII teaser trailer of sorts will be attached to Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which comes out April 4.

He claims the teaser will not be live action (although presumably they’ll have been filming for several months at that point) and will be similar to the Rebels one from the other day. He also says this will be the official announcement of the film’s release date: November 11, 2015.

Captain America is a fairly obvious pairing if we’re going to see some sort of teaser in theaters that early, but, as usual, I’m deeply skeptical. And doubly so when a supposed release date is involved. In any case, nothing is official until we hear it from Lucasfilm.

Episode VII roundup: As the rumor mill churns…

SEQUEL TRILOGY RUMORS: Take seriously at your own risk.New rumors. Yesterday we heard things were going to be quiet, but now… I generally don’t report this kind of thing, but this is burning up Twitter this afternoon… Ali Arikan is saying that there are casting and title announcements imminent, including a teaser featuring Luke. I don’t know Ali, but Bobby Roberts seems to trust him, so he can’t be all bad. All we can do is wait…

Old rumors. Ben Kingsley tells Total Film he has “no recall” of auditioning for Episode VII. Surprise! Not.

Your moment of zen. Donald Faison auditions to play Lando Calrissian, Jr. Because of course he does.

Rumors: Lucasfilm going on radio silence?

SEQUEL TRILOGY RUMORS: Take seriously at your own risk.Going on? Yeah, we haven’t heard much official lately on Episode VII, but Jedi News’ Jedi Master SQL says that Lucasfilm is “going silent for a period.” He suspects this means they may be “clamping down on leaks,” which is exciting only if you want a reason to believe all the random rumors that have come out of the the past few months.

He later sheds some (possible) light on the casting process, saying that they won’t announce anything or cast anyone “until the last minute.”

As we’ve heard before, announcements may start in late October and continue throughout the end of the year. As usual, all we can do is wait and see.

Roundup: Episode VII rumor debunkings, Harrison Ford and Episode I memories

SEQUEL TRILOGY RUMORS: Take seriously at your own risk.Rumors. Bryan over at Big Shiny Robot has a non-Star Wars theory for the Kennedy/Lucas/Daniel Day Lewis lunch thing, and he says that the Ben Kingsley‘s name was out there a month ago, along with several other folks (including rumor all-star Benedict Cumberbatch) as what’s likely a bit of a red herring.

Meanwhile, Jedi News’ Jedi Master SQL has been poking around Pinewood again. You know the drill…

Shocking. In France, someone asked Harrison Ford about Episode VII again – the most revealing thing he said was “We’ll see.” You can see video of the interview at TéléStar.

Lest we forget… The Bearded Trio points out what we knew 18 months before Episode I. It’s not that much, and remember that 1997 was two years after the movie was actually announced. Patience, grasshopper.

Roundup: Disney and Lucasfilm still brainstorming live-action series possibilities

STAR WARS RUMORS: Take seriously at your own risk.Live-action series. There’ s been at least one sign of hope that Disney may let the Star Wars live-action series see the light of day. Now Blue Sky Disney’s Honor Hunter reports that the success of the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. pilot may lead to more internal development (see also: Peggy Carter,) and that the Star Wars show may get retooled – not only to bring the ratings to a more ABC-friendly level, but perhaps to shift the time period of the show may shift as well – from the current intertrilogy era to between Return of the Jedi and the new films.

Time will tell – Hunter suspects we won’t even hear anything official until 2014 at the earliest, and I myself wouldn’t be shocked if such a thing doesn’t go into production until we’re looking at a mostly-completed sequel trilogy, for much the same reasons we’re getting Rebels as opposed to a post-ROTJ show. But in any case – no one’s forgetting about a live-action show, and we may see some version of Underworld after all. Of course, it’s all rumor – but it’s something.

Meanwhile, in Britain… Jedi News’ Episode VII spy says that the Pinewood stages currently being used for Cinderella will be handed over to Lucasfilm in November, with principal photography to start on February 24.

Your moment of zen. And here’s something totally solid: ThinkGeek is selling some of the Celebration Europe exclusives, so if you’re yearning for a Darth Vader beer stein, Death Star Soccer Ball, talking tauntaun or futball scarf, it’s your lucky day.

Rumor: Possible timeline placement for Rebels?

Rebels: The Ghost

Apparently on the latest Bleeding Cool podcast, they reveal a number of details on the new animated show, Rebels. According to Making Star Wars, they give it a more specific date range – eight years after Revenge of the Sith, or 12 before A New Hope. They also have the basic storyline of the show’s premiere movie, but I’ll spare you that due to possible spoilers – head over to either of the links to see/hear it for yourself.

Rebels will debut with the movie on the Disney Channel sometime next fall, with the series following on Disney XD.

And, FYI:
