Editor’s letter

Plus the team’s behindthe-scenes japes.

by the time you get to Part 3 of a franchise, you don’t expect much deviation from the tried-and-tested formula. Well, Thor: Ragnarok clearly didn’t get that memo. The candy-coloured, gladiators-inspace epic offers a hard left turn for the Norse god and pals, and we sent our intrepid news editor Jordan Farley on set in Australia to get the full story. Elsewhere, our acting features editor Jamie Graham went to New Mexico to stand on a scorching mountainside with Josh Brolin for our Only The Brave feature, while earlier this year I caught up with Elizabeth Olsen and Aubrey Plaza in snowy Sundance to talk Ingrid Goes West. Plus, we’ve also rounded up a very early look at possible Oscar 2018 contenders, including one Mr. Adam Sandler (I kid you not), and we’ve spoken to James Cameron and cast about industry redefining classic Terminator 2. And I haven’t even mentioned our huge career chat with Matt Damon. Head to page 94 to find out why he’ll be dominating this winter. All that, plus all the news, reviews and regulars you’ve come to expect.
