Legends of Tomorrow star Dominic Purcell announced yesterday that he'd be departing the CW show, and had some combative words about his exit. These comments included surprisingly candid criticism of the studio behind the series, in this case Warner Bros., and their perceived lack of loyalty. However, Purcell has now deleted his original Instagram post, instead making a more conciliatory statement.
We don't have too long to wait for Mortal Kombat, which will be with us on April 23rd. Although we've already had a lot of details about the movie, including some positive early praise, today saw the release of a new clip showing Scorpion going up against Sub-Zero. Providing us with a taste of what to expect from the hard-R picture, the short video, available above, gives us a lot to be excited about.
Disney Plus' reboot of Home Alone has been on the cards for a while now, and will be more of a reimagining of the scenario than a straight update of the familiar story. A stoner version with Ryan Reynolds is also apparently planned, much to the director of the original 1990 film's displeasure, but the D+ remake looks to be closer to release. We learned about the cast last year, and star Kenan Thompson has now shared information on the picture's progress and says that the project should be wrapping up soon.
The future of Henry Cavill as Superman has been strongly debated in the last few months, especially now that Warner Bros. are developing a new version of the DC character. The prospect of a Man of Steel 2 is similarly looking pretty tenuous, even after the positive reaction to Zack Snyder's Justice League. However, Geekosity is now reporting that the English performer could be returning to the DCEU, and most likely in the upcoming Black Adam.
Netflix's most popular movies each month can be somewhat varied, from new original releases to classics, as well as more unusual titles that are given a second life by the streamer. March 2021's list of the top ten films on the platform is no exception, with family-skewing comedy Yes Day the winner over Bigfoot Family. Other successful pictures, meanwhile, include The Dark Knight and Training Day, as well as Netflix specials like Deadly Illusions.
Currently enjoying buzz for Godzilla vs. Kong, Adam Wingard is certainly not resting on his laurels. With Face/Off 2 in the works, as well as a ThunderCats feature, the director is going to be busy over the next few years. In terms of the former film, it's being developed as a sequel to the 1997 John Woo original, and Wingard has been dropping hints as to what audiences can expect.
