2. Rumors Of New 'LEGO Star Wars' Helmet Sets Coming Next Year
The Helmet series for Star Wars is one of the most successful LEGO sets to release over the last few years. Previous sets have included Darth Vader, Commander Cody, Boba Fett, and Captain Rex.
Now it looks like the lineup will be expanded with a possible Jango Fett or Bo Katan helmet set, or both.
Jedi Bricks Master on Instagram regularly posts leaks and fan conceptual wants for future sets, but it looks like there are rumors according to their sources that new helmets may be coming next year featuring Mandalorian helmets to join the likes of Boba Fett on shelves. Those possible helmets include Jango Fett and Bo Katan Kryze.
Jango Fett will be familiar to longtime fans as the “father” of fan favorite Boba Fett, who was revealed in Episode II: Attack of the Clones. In the successor animated series Clone Wars, Bo Katan Kryze was introduced as a Mandalorian who worked with the Jedi in the series of conflicts that plagued Mandalore at the end of the Clone Wars.
Should these rumors pan out to be true, they’ll be a great new addition to anyone’s LEGO helmet collection.

1. Kumail Nanijani Has Been Cast As Booster Gold
The DC Universe has been in the process of a revamp, ever since James Gunn took over. The new Superman movie will help start the revamp. However, to be successful, you need more characters to make movies and TV series. Back in 2023, a Booster Gold series was announced, and no official announcements have since been announced. A new rumor, however, reveals a familiar MCU face, who may have been cast as the titular character.
According to Nexus Point News, Kumail Nanijani has been cast as Booster Gold for the upcoming series. Booster Gold, or Michael John Carter, first appeared in DC Comics Booster Gold #1 in 1986. Carter was a star quarterback at Gotham University until his estranged father returned to the picture. At the games, he made Carter throw the games to win his bets. He was eventually exposed, which led to him being kicked off the team, and expelled from Gotham University. He took a job as a night guard at a museum and stole a robot sidekick named Skeets, a power suit, a Legion of Super-Heroes flight ring, and a time sphere. He traveled back in time and made a name for himself as a superhero.
Booster Gold is currently in development by Max and will be part of Chapter 1- Gods and Monsters of the DC Universe.
