Take this news with quite a large grain of salt, but rumors have hit that suggest Disney and Marvel Studios are looking at Angelina Jolie to helm the upcoming Captain Marvel solo film. Apparently, they've gone as far as to offer the actress-turned-director a whopping $20 million to do so.
Over the last few years, a popular and exciting fan theory has proposed that Arrow co-star David Ramsey, who plays bodyguard-turned-vigilante John Diggle, could don the ring and suit of iconic DC Comics character Green Lantern. It always felt a bit like wishful thinking, but according to Ramsey himself, it may not be too farfetched after all.
Marvel's Inhumans aren't set to get their big screen debut until November 2018, but the concept of genetically-modified, super-powered mutations through the form of Terragenesis will first be explored on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The series has already planted seeds to make Chloe Bennett's character, Skye, an Inhuman, and now Marvel has added a new Inhuman to the show's cast.
Marvel already dominates the box office and they currently have two television shows on air, but now they're looking to invade our homes through other means as well. Soon, the first of their four Netflix series, Daredevil, will air on the streaming service.
Over the course of Arrow's third season, Brandon Routh's character Ray Palmer has toyed around with the idea of becoming a superhero. Now, his dream will soon become a reality, as evidenced by this new official image of Routh in costume as The Atom (or, A.T.O.M. as he's been dubbed on the show).
We knew it was only a matter of time before the Joker reared his iconic head on Gotham, but we couldn't have predicted that it would happen before the first season concluded. In the past, showrunner Bruno Heller has said that we'd be seeing several potential Clown Princes of Crime as a way to tease the Joker's future existence, but now he's stated that the seeds for an actual Joker story will be planted before the current run of episodes comes to an end.
Not much has happened since the series' initial announcement back in September, but we finally have an exciting update about TNT's Titans, an upcoming live-action DC Comics adaptation of the popular Teen Titans. According to Nerdist, we can now begin fan-casting the show, as the initial team roster has (potentially) been revealed.
I know this may not sound like much, but Gotham just delivered its best episode yet. I'm honestly quite surprised that "The Fearsome Dr. Crane" wasn't a complete trainwreck, not just because of the show's track record, but because of how ham-fisted an episode featuring the Scarecrow's father could have been. Luckily, this was one of the few times that the series truly showed restraint and allowed the story to unfold organically.
It's hard to believe, but in just a few short months Avengers: Age of Ultron will be upon us. Joss Whedon's follow-up to his massive 2012 hit is easily one of the most anticipated films of the year, and as we draw closer to its release, Marvel continues to crank out the marketing material.
Rose Byrne was one of several X-Men: First Class cast members to get the axe when the franchise jumped ahead a decade for last year's X-Men: Days of Future Past, but she'll be back for more mutant superhero action when the franchise returns in 2016, as she's officially signed on to reprise her role of CIA agent Moira MacTaggert in X-Men: Apocalypse.
