The Ace Attorney series will never end, a Capcom producer has stated.
Masters of the Air executive producer says they "lucked out" with casting: "Who knew we were going to have Doctor Who?"

Focusing on the key campaigns of the US air force during World War 2 was something executive producer Gary Goetzman and his partners, Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, "had always talked about" in the wake of their hit shows Band of Brothers (2001) and The Pacific (2010).
And they've done just that with Masters of the Air, a new Apple TV Plus series featuring an all-star ensemble cast that's spearheaded by Austin Butler and Callum Turner – pictured above in a new, exclusive image – but also includes Barry Keoghan, Ncuti Gatwa, Anthony Boyle, Raff Law, and many, many more.
With Butler hot off an award-winning Elvis, Turner and Keoghan on fire, and Gatwa currently playing TV’s most famous doctor, Masters of the Air, like companion series Band of Brothers and The Pacific before it, has cast another company of bellwether stars.
"There’s over 300 speaking parts here. [Casting director] Lucy Bevan and her team just did a brilliant job. Who knew we were going to have Doctor Who?" Goetzman tells Total Film in our new issue out this Thursday, which features Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire on the cover.
"I called Tom [Hanks, who had worked with Butler on Elvis], and said, 'What do you think of this actor, Austin Butler?' He was like [mimics Hanks perfectly], 'Dude, I think he’s great.' We lucked out – it’s just a great bunch of guys. I couldn’t be prouder of them."
Based on Donald L. Miller’s bestseller, Masters of the Air: How the Bomber Boys Broke Down the Nazi War Machine, the limited series tracks the efforts of the Eighth Air Force stationed in Thorpe Abbotts, Norfolk in destroying key European Nazi targets. While the British air force saturation-bombed at night, the American strategy was to fly in daylight in order to target specifically – and the missions were therefore lethal.
Masters of the Air premieres on January 26 on Apple TV Plus. You can read more about it and a whole lot else besides in the new issue of Total Film when it hits shelves and digital newsstands on Thursday, January 4. Check out the covers below:

I.S.S. takes all the oxygen out of the space survival thriller
It’s only been a little over 10 years since Alfonso Cuarón’s space-disaster survival adventure Gravity made a huge, Oscar-winning splash with a story that takes place almost entirely in a zero-gravity setting, leaving Sandra Bullock and George Clooney bobbing around like balloons throughout most of the action. At the time, the visuals seemed shocking and attention-grabbing, enough to spark an extensive wave of “How did they do that?” technical pieces focusing solely on the zero-gravity effects.
