Director J.J. Abrams has made his next move in his Twitter war with “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice” director Zack Snyder.
Abrams shared a photoshopped image of C3PO as Batman, looking over Gotham as the symbol of the Rebel Alliance lit up the sky. Snyder began the battle on social media after he posted an image of Superman actor Henry Cavill as a Sith.
The “Star Wars: Episode VII” director quickly to his Twitter account to share an image of lead actor John Boyega as Batman. Snyder responded by posing a Batman and R2D2 figures together with the caption, “Batman and R2BIN.” Check out the images from the directors’ Twitter war in the slideshow above.
Disney CEO Bob Iger recently spoke with CNBC's "Closing Bell” (via Business Insider) about getting to preview the first footage from the “Star Wars: Episode VII” production. Iger didn’t reveal any plot details about the next “Star Wars” installment, but claimed the footage he’s seen is well worth the wait.
"The footage we've seen is very, very exciting to us," Iger said. "I think there's about 500 days left between now and [Dec. 2015] when the movie comes out. That doesn't seem like very long."
“Star Wars: Episode VII” will star newcomers Lupita Nyong'o, Gwendoline Christie, John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson and Max von Sydow. Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew and Kenny Baker have signed on to reprise their roles.
“Star Wars Episode 7” is slated to hit theaters on Dec. 18, 2015.
