The Justice League train continues on full steam ahead today, with even more news emerging about Zack Snyder's upcoming DC Comics adaptation. After learning a ton of new details about what's in store for us thanks to some set visit reports and scene descriptions, we now have a bit of casting news to report on.
Although Ridley Scott's Alien: Covenant has already been in production for a while now, it was only yesterday that Noomi Rapace officially signed on to reprise her role of Elizabeth Shaw. She'll be joining a cast that includes the returning Michael Fassbender and newcomers like Katherine Waterson, Billy Crudup, Demian Bichir and Danny McBride, who just so happens to be featured in a new set photo alongside Scott.
Over the weekend we were told that we'd be getting some big reveals about Justice League today, and while nothing major has happened just yet, a number of set visit reports have been published online, giving us some additional details about Zack Snyder's upcoming film.
Sansa Stark has been portrayed as a victim right from the very first episode of Game of Thrones. A beautiful, naive, not terribly bright young girl was never going to have an easy time of it out in the big bad world of Westeros, but it got to the point that audiences were almost screaming at the screen for the endlessly put-upon character to show some of that Stark moxie and find a way to strike back against her tormentors.
Last night's penultimate season 6 episode of HBO's Game of Thrones delivered arguably the most epic, visually stunning battle sequence in television history. "The Battle of Bastards" concluded as everyone thought (well, hoped) it would, with Ramsay Bolton finally paying for his multitude of heinous acts in the most fitting way possible.
Warner Bros. is going all in with the marketing for their upcoming DC Comics adaptation Suicide Squad, and if that wasn't apparent over the past few days with the release of countless new pieces of promo material, including a poster and banner, it's got to be easy to see now.
Remember that Death Wish remake that's been kicking around MGM/Paramount for a while now? Well, it's finally got a director attached, as Deadline reports that Eli Roth will take the helm, with Bruce Willis still set to star in the role of the reluctant vigilante, which was made famous by Charles Bronson.
After debuting a new poster last week, Warner Bros. continues their marketing blitz for David Ayer's Suicide Squad today with a brand new banner for the DC comics adaptation. Very similar to what we've seen before with the film's promo material, it features the "Worst Heroes Ever" with the Clown Prince of Crime being teased in the background.
With Comic-Con right around the corner now, Marvel is starting to shine the spotlight on two of its most anticipated upcoming films: Doctor Strange and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. While James Gunn's next space adventure is still a ways away, the Sorcerer Supreme's first big screen outing is quickly approaching and it's looking to be one of the best comic book movies of 2016.
