Spider-Man: Homecoming
New set pictures of a stunt being performed for filming feature Spider-Man and an unidentified redhead swinging around, prompting speculation after the reports that Zendaya Coleman is playing Mary Jane Watson that this is our first glimpse at the character in the film. While it’s possible, as the figure is unidentified it’s very hard to tell, so take that speculation with some spider-sensed skepticism.

Black Panther
Chadwick Boseman discusses the film’s scope—hinting that the past Black Panthers might appear in some brief capacity:
There is definitely more of his origin in Black Panther. You’re going to learn about Wakanda, its culture, its traditions, the past. You can go through all the comic books and know that there’s more Panthers that have existed in the past - that’s origin.

Wonder Woman
Elena Anaya briefly teases her villainous role glimpsed in the trailer:
Well, it was a small role in this big ensemble, but it is an important character in the story. It’s directed by Patty Jenkins, then there’s Gal Gadot as our main lead, Chris Pine as her co-lead and I’m going to be… a big nightmare for the two of them!
Gotham
Young Bruce Wayne David Mazouz argues that the caped crusader is not quite needed yet in the show’s monster-riddled city:
Batman can’t exist until he’s necessary, and he’s not necessary yet. The world of Gotham has to get a lot worse, which it will. That’s the show. It really is the story of how a city goes from being okay to just being an absolute mess, and there needs to be a Batman to save it.
