Parallel universes and doppelgangers and man-sharks, oh my!

But fear not fans, you won’t have to wait until the fall to start getting answers to some of your most pressing questions, as the cast and creative team behind the show will be giving fans insight into the show’s highly anticipated third season.

In the face of worldwide nuclear destruction at the hands of the maniacal mystic known as Damien Darhk, Oliver Queen (a.k.a Green Arrow) united Star City with a message of hope that allowed him to vanquish the season 4 Big Bad once and for all. However, our heroes’ triumph came at a cost, and the future of Team Arrow was left hanging in the balance. Now, as the show takes aim on season 5, Oliver will set out to save his city from a new threat-one that he personally created-as both the newly appointed mayor of Star City and as the Green Arrow. The cast and creators of the hit CW series will be on-hand for a lively conversation surrounding the upcoming season.

Television, Arrow airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on The CW; Arrow: The Complete Fourth Season will be released on Blu-ray combo pack, DVD, and Digital HD on August 30.
Now that the official stuff is announced here comes the speculations and predictions on my part. To get it out of the way for the TV shows they will all follow a similar path, news about the upcoming season and a first look if possible! But the big news will be from the more cinematic side of things, I predict that Marvel Studios will offer our first look of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 in the form of a teaser and first poster with confirmation on some the unknown roles. They will also bring a full trailer this time for Doctor Strange with again a poster as well. Now another thing I predict is a surprise appearance of some of the Spider-Man: Homecoming cast with a first look and also will get more announcements about the future of the MCU namely Captain Marvel and Black Panther.
Now for DC Films, we’ll definitely get a clip and or last trailer for Suicide Squad with some answers from the questions asked at Hall H. I believe we will be getting a teaser trailer for Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman that will lead off a small panel for the film itself with Gal Gadot, Connie Nielsen, Jenkins, and possibly Chris Pine being the panel. Another thing we will be getting from DC Films is our first full look at Justice League added by a quick appearance by the cast and Zack Snyder who will all give updates on their respective solo ventures.
Those are my predictions, some may be outlandish but could become true we’ll just have to wait and see. Click the link down below if you would like to see the full Saturday schedule!
