Nerd News | The Thirteenth Doctor

In case you missed it yesterday:

I'm excited. I love that they're trying something new with a woman Doctor, and I'm looking forward to seeing where the show goes out from under Moffat's thumb. (This article talks a bit more about Whittaker and the "prep" for the Doctor regenerating into a female form.)

I wish Peter Capaldi would have stuck around for another season, though. I really enjoyed 12 when Clara wasn't around, and I don't think one season without her was really enough time for him to truly shine.

Also of note:

• There was a lot of news out of D23 over the weekend (and there's likely even more to come at Comic Con this upcoming weekend). Star Wars, natch, was a hot topic of discussion. These The Last Jedi posters are particularly striking, and this behind-the-scenes video is supposedly really great. (Haven't watched yet and am not sure that I will; I'm avoiding spoilers at all cost.)
• Marvel also shared some news at D23, including information about and a trailer for The Avengers: Infinity War, Part 1. (We'll likely see an official trailer hit the 'net post-SDCC, but there are bootleg versions available, I'm sure.)
• Also out of D23: Disney has found its live-action Aladdin (and Jasmine and Genie).
• Here's a first photo from the upcoming Ready Player One film.
• There's a Supernatural spinoff in the works called Wayward Sisters.
• Here's the official trailer for Marvel's latest TV show, Inhumans.
• And a trailer for Amazon's The Tick.
• And one for the upcoming A Wrinkle in Time movie.
