Batman fans, you’ve seen some inspired casting choices over the years, as well as your fair share of dubious ones. Michael Caine as Alfred, utterly perfect. Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze, that was a low point. Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne, yeah, I can see where they were coming from. So, let’s give artist Carlos Gzz a moment to make his case for introducing another famous face onto the streets of Gotham, as his new fan art imagines pop superstar Lady Gaga as Poison Ivy.
Another weekend rolls into view, and another batch of new movies and shows rolls onto the various streaming services. There's a lot of good stuff to dig into as well, and below, you'll find a list of everything hitting Netflix, HBO Max, Disney Plus, Hulu and Amazon Prime over August 14th, 15th and 16th.
Disney Plus’ Marvel roster is inching its way towards completion. Today, Ant-Man and the Wasp was added to the service, leaving just three absentees from its MCU line-up. Those no-shows are The Incredible Hulk and both of the recent Spider-Man movies - Far From Home and Homecoming.
Ryan Reynolds, justifiably or otherwise, once had a reputation for being a Hollywood slacker. However, his days of rom-com fodder are long gone, as this look at his upcoming movies will demonstrate. Comedy fodder perhaps, but no more glorified professional vacations with Sandra Bullock. Stardom comes with a heavy price, you know.
Full normality in our pandemic-hit world may still be out of reach for the time being, but the TV industry has started to recover. Filming on The Witcher season 2 has officially resumed, with director Stephen Surjik taking to Instagram to share a photo of their newly established COVID-19 communication system, intended to reduce the need for close physical contact between crew members.
Since Disney took ownership of Wolverine as part of their Fox buyout last year, the future of the character has been up in the air. At the moment, Hugh Jackman remains steadfast in his refusal to return even for a cameo (though the studio are reportedly trying with everything they’ve got to change his mind). But just because Jackman is done doesn’t mean we’ve seen the last of the character.
A collection of X-Men movies and shows has been added to Disney Plus, including 2000's franchise debut and the cast-spanning crossover Days of Future Past.
