It's been a very busy week for news here on ComicBookMovie.com, and while there are pretty much no new releases coming out in 2020, we've still seen a lot of big movie and TV show updates shared by Marvel, DC Entertainment, and more. In fact, it's felt like business as usual in Hollywood, and while things may be about to get quieter thanks to the holidays, we've had another busy week here.
Spider-Man 3 rumours continue to dominate the headlines, as does Wonder Woman 1984 now it's playing in theaters across the globe (we have the first reviews and details on the post-credits scene).
Zack Snyder has shared some big Justice League updates too, while The Mandalorian has left us with plenty to talk about too. Needless to say, we think you'll find a lot in this latest recap that interests you!

During a recent interview, Zack Snyder confirmed that his cut of Justice League is likely to receive an R-Rating. The filmmaker also mentioned that he believes the movie will ultimately be released in theaters, something that makes sense after the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut movement.
As for that rating, the director elaborated on why it's likely an R, "There's one scene where Batman drops an F-bomb. Cyborg is not too happy with what's going on with his life before he meets the Justice League, and he tends to speak his mind. And Steppenwolf is pretty much just hacking people in half. So [the rating would be due to] violence and profanity, probably both."

Surprising no one, Helstrom - the final series from Marvel Television - has been cancelled by Hulu.
This was to be expected, as the show was never really marketed as a new Marvel TV series (likely meaning viewership was low). Showrunner Paul Zbyszewski - who worked on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - had his overall deal with Marvel terminated in April, so the show was done for even back then.

Black Adam's Justice Society just found another member, with Quintessa Swindell (Netflix's Trinkets) has joined the cast of Black Adam as DC Comics superhero Cyclone.
Swindell is non-binary and uses the them/they pronouns. They're currently in the midst of shooting In Treatment for HBO, and are considered the breakout star in the aforementioned Netflix series. Other credits include HBO's Euphoria and the upcoming Neil Burger sci-fi movie, Voyagers. In the comics, Cyclone is also known as Maxine Hunkell, the granddaughter of the original Red Tornado.

The review embargo for Wonder Woman 1984 lifted this week, and it's good news for the DC Comics sequel. "Certified Fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently has a score of 87%.
In our review, we said that Wonder Woman 1984 is "A powerful, emotional sequel to 2017's Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman 1984 makes wonder-ful use of its 1980s setting, and sees Pedro Pascal deliver another phenomenal performance as the delightfully maniacal Maxwell Lord."

The Spider-Man 3 cast continues to grow, and it's said Willem Dafoe and Thomas Haden Church are now in talks to reprise their respective roles as the Green Goblin and Sandman.
The Green Goblin is one of the wall-crawler's most iconic villains, while Sandman would no doubt look even more incredible on the big screen with today's technology. Of course, this begs the question of what they would even be doing in a movie as ambitious as this one.
This rumour leaves us with a lot of questions, and there are more details here.
WarnerMedia's Justice League investigation may have wrapped up, but Wonder Woman 1984 star Gal Gadot is the latest to open up on what it was like working with director Joss Whedon.
"I wasn’t there with the guys when they shot with Joss Whedon," Gadot said after sharing her support for co-star Ray Fisher. "I had my own experience with [him], which wasn’t the best one, but I took care of it there and when it happened. I took it to the higher-ups and they took care of it. But I’m happy for Ray to go up and say his truth."
It's previously been reported that Gadot refused to film that scene where the Flash lands on top of her (hence why we never see Wonder Woman's face). Find more comments from the actress here.
Spider-Man 3 is clearly going to be a huge movie, but some fans have theorised that it could serve as a farewell to Peter Parker in the MCU. However, a new rumour shared online this week claimed that Marvel Studios has "extended the [Spider-Man] deal" with Sony Pictures.
Why? Apparently, it's happening because the iconic superhero is set to play "a pivotal role" in the MCU moving forward, though this report doesn't elaborate on what that might be.
Check out the original post for further details.
We obviously don't want to spoil anything for you guys here, but with Wonder Woman 1984 now playing in theaters across the world, a description of the sequel's mid-credits scene has been revealed.
It sounds like a fun sequence, and one that may or may not have ramifications for Wonder Woman 3.
Anyway, we'll leave you to check the description out by clicking here.
Yesterday was a huge day for The Mandalorian as the season two finale dropped more than one bombshell. You can read more about that in our spoiler-filled recap of "The Rescue."
We have a lot of questions after yesterday's episode, and while we won't get into specifics here, you can find a first look at that returning character right here. However, the biggest talking point is the announcement of a new spinoff series which will arrive on Disney+ in December 2021.
For all the details on that, head over to our original report.
Answering fan questions on Vero, Zack Snyder confirmed that the "Snyder Cut" hits the streaming service next March. We've known for a while now that it would debut early in 2021, but a March premiere means it hits HBO Max the same month as Tom and Jerry and The Many Saints of Newark.
It's still unclear whether this version of Justice League will be released on a weekly basis or in one go, but it has previously been described as a four-part event series, but this is still exciting news!
