“Saturday Night Live” revealed some significant star power for this season, with Tom Hanks returning for his ninth stint as host, and his “Charlie Wilson’s War” co-star, Emily Blunt, making her debut on the long-running sketch series.

Blunt, who can be seen in “The Girl on the Train,” will host the Oct. 15 episode. She’ll be joined by musical guest Bruno Mars, who just released his new single, “24K Magic.”

The following week, on Oct. 22, Tom Hanks will return to Studio 8H a week before his new film, “Inferno,” the third installment of the “DaVinci Code” franchise, hits theaters. The Oscar winner also recently starred in Clint Eastwood’s “Sully.”
