Around the Web: Girls, a new Thor Writer & More
We already posted the new trailer for Batman v Superman, which revealed a major new villain that will clearly unite our fighting supeheroes (including Wonder Woman!) against, well…it.
Thor: Ragnarok has landed writer Stephany Folsom to do some rewrites on the project, the woman who wrote 1969: A Space Odyssey of How Kubrick Learned to Stop Worrying and Land on the Moon.
Watch This New Girls Teaser and Get Excited About Season 5
The trials, tribulations and humiliations of Hannah Horvath (Lena Dunham) and her closest friends will continue in season five of Dunham's brilliant Girls. In 25 seconds, the new teaser packs a lot of funny into a small package—the package in this case being Hannah's body, as she dances 'as if no one's watching' in a class that includes at least one person she knows very well.
Girls returns for season five on February 21, and Dunham has said that the series will likely end after the sixth season.
