We know that Ollie Queen is going to have a lot of new villains to contend with when Arrow returns to the CW for its fourth season, but will whoever former True Blood alum Rutina Wesley ends up playing be another foe, or a much-needed ally? We'll probably have to wait a while to find out, because though The Wrap reports that the actress is in talks to join the cast of the superhero show for a multi-episode arc, they don't reveal the name of her character.
During the Television Critics Association summer press tour in Beverly Hills, Supergirl producers Geoff Johns and Andrew Kreisberg spilled some interesting new details about the upcoming show. We've already been told not to expect an appearance from Superman, and it has now been confirmed that the Man of Steel will only be spoken about by the other characters and won't be depicted on screen.
The following clip from the Heath Ledger: Too Young To Die documentary brings to light some unnerving new details from the diary the late actor kept while filming Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight. Ledger's total immersion in the Joker role is believed by many to have contributed to his depression upon completing the shoot, which led to drug abuse, and ultimately his tragic death at the age of 28.
Making a movie based around one of the most iconic characters in film history has to be a daunting prospect, but that's exactly what The LEGO Movie directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller are planning to do.
Following on from those initial snaps of Jon Bernthal looking fairly beat up as Frank Castle on the set of Marvel and Netflix's Daredevil, we have another batch of images featuring the former Walking Dead actor doing the beating, up as he lays the smackdown on some goon that was unfortunate enough to cross his path.
Plainly speaking, the Fantastic Four reboot is a complete mess. After a promising start it gets gradually worse until the disjointed, haphazard final act is barely recognizable as the engaging sci-fi superhero movie it started out as. Director Josh Trank recently took to Twitter and suggested his original vision for the film was completely different, and the studio was to blame for how it turned out. Of course, Fox maintains it was Trank's attitude and behaviour on set which caused the problems.
It appears former True Blood actor Jim Parrack's role in David Ayer's Suicide Squad has finally been confirmed. It was rumoured a good while back that he might be playing Deathstroke (much to the chagrin of many fans), but more recently The Wrap's Jeff Sneider suggested that he will actually be portraying a character named Jonny Frost on the Meet The Movie Press show - and that was evidently accurate.
We've been hearing rumors that Fox has been gearing up for a shared cinematic universe for its stable of Marvel characters for a long time now, and recently the rumors gained a bit of weight when director Bryan Singer himself seemed to confirm that those plans were indeed in place. We had that big SDCC love-in with the casts of X-Men, Fantastic Four and Deadpool, and everything seemed poised to build towards a crossover movie somewhere down the line.
It looks like Fox is gearing up to cast a female lead for their Gambit movie, which stars Channing Tatum as the titular card-flinging mutant. According to Deadline, three lovely ladies are on the studio's radar to star in the Rupert Wyatt directed X-Men spinoff: Rebecca Ferguson (Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation), Lea Seydoux (Blue Is The Warmest Color, Spectre), and Abbey Lee (Mad Max: Fury Road).
Peter Jackson's The Hobbit trilogy is generally seen as inferior to The Lord Of The Rings, so there wasn't much excitement over the announcement that An Unexpected Journey, The Desolation Of Smaug and The Battle Of The Five Armies were going to be re-released in their extended cuts this Fall - but we've found something out about the longer edition of the final instalment that might pique a bit of interest.
