"I think what people are forgetting is Harrison Ford is returning and will most likely be the lead with a big role in the film. That being said I would love to have seen the rumoured Gary Oldman cast in the film. He had great chemistry opposite Harrison Ford in Air Force One and is a very underrated actor - who most likely would not have taken too much spotlight from new cast members.

Tina Fey and Matt Hubbard's untitled Fox women's university comedy has landed on a familiar face for a key role.
Margaret Cho has come aboard the comedy unofficially known as "Cabot College," THR reports. The multicamera comedy takes place at a women's college that's opened its doors to men for the first time.
Cho will co-star in the series regular role of Laura Thibault, the president of Cabot College who made the tough decision to let men into the school. She's described as a divisive figure on campus who does her best to be welcoming to the male freshmen, but often finds herself irritated by their antics.
The series also stars Bonnie Dennison ("Third Watch") as Thena, a hard-core feminist sophomore who acts as leader of the population of Cabot College that doesn't want men on campus. Jack Cutmore-Scott co-stars as Charlie Deckard, a wealthy Kennedy-type who enrolls at Cabot.
