Before the Han Solo movie came along, Phil Lord and Chris Miller looked set to both write and direct The Flash. However, they ended up leaving behind only a treatment, and it then came down to director Seth Grahame-Smith to write the screenplay. However, he would ultimately depart the project over creative differences with Warner Bros.
While Star Trek: Discovery won't be with us as soon as we originally expected, the fact that The Walking Dead's Sonequa Martin-Green has been cast in a leading role there has led to a lot of concerns from fans of the undead. After all, it's surely now a foregone conclusion that Sasha will be killed off so the actress can head into outer space, right?
The Clone Conspiracy hasn't finished yet, but Marvel has already announced that Ben Reilly: The Scarlet Spider is coming in April. The latest addition to the Spider-Man family of titles, we don't know a lot about what to expect as of right now, but something very interesting has been spotted on Greg Land's variant cover for the first issue.
2016 was not an easy year for Warner Bros. After the mixed reception to Man of Steel back in 2013, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (a guaranteed $1 billion hit on the surface) and Suicide Squad were meant to turn everything around for them, creating a DC Extended Universe in the process which would have been every bit as popular and successful as Marvel's.
While you may have been left hoping you'd seen the last of Civil War II after the underwhelming event series wrapped up, today saw the release of Civil War II: The Oath from Marvel. Written by Captain America scribe Nick Spencer with art by Phil Noto, it set up a new status quo for the Marvel Universe and laid the groundwork for the Secret Empire story.
Vin Diesel likes to talk, a lot. Over the years, the prolific actor has been known to create a lot of hype only for nothing to ever materialize. That's not to say he's a liar or can't be trusted, but it's always important to err on the side of caution when listening to what he has to say as he tends to get ahead of himself.
In case you've been hiding out in a cave for the past couple of days, production is now underway on Joe and Anthony Russo's Avengers: Infinity War (which may actually be getting a title change, if a new logo is any indication). The internet's been pretty noisy about it lately and everywhere you turn it seems as if Marvel's upcoming blockbuster is in the news. Despite all this though, we've yet to see anything substantial from the project, and unfortunately, that doesn't look to change in the near future.
A couple of months back, rumors popped up that pointed to legendary comedic actor John Cleese joining the DC Extended Universe, with speculation pointing to him having a role in The Batman. It all began when several notable folks over at DC started following Cleese on Twitter. While that's not particularly shocking, this type of stuff has led to casting announcements in the past and as such, it caused quite a stir.
A leaked trailer may have found its way online last year, but we've yet to see anything from The Dark Tower beyond a handful of official images. The fact that the movie has now been pushed back to July (a sign of confidence from Sony considering the fact that's smack bang in the middle of the blockbuster season) probably explains that, though.
By most accounts, Suicide Squad was a disappointment. Though it did end up with roughly $750 million to its name and even an Oscar nomination, Task Force X's first outing didn't exactly impress critics or fans. However, there was one part of the film that was particularly good, and that's Harley Quinn. Margot Robbie brought the character to life wonderfully and as such, it was no surprise when a spinoff was announced.
