Tyler Hoechlin cemented his position in the world of comic books when he played the role of Superman in The CW's hit show Supergirl. His interpretation of the character was a throwback to the days of Christopher Reeve, playing the Man of Steel as a charming and debonair hero with a cheerful approach to crimefighting that stood in stark contrast to the dour, sullen superhero we've gotten to see in the DCEU, played by Henry Cavill.
Natasha Romanoff AKA Black Widow is one member of the Avengers whose past has remained shrouded in mystery, both in the comics and movies. It's always been more intriguing to only give out hints as to her history as an enemy agent before defecting to the other side, but now that she's finally getting her own origin film, Marvel Comics has decided to reveal more details about her backstory, including why her superhero name takes after one of the deadliest spiders in the world.
What is it about playing the role of the Joker that brings out the worst in well-respected method actors? Heath Ledger famously locked himself away from friends and family for a month to develop his interpretation of the villain, had trouble sleeping and kept a journal full of news and photos of real and imaginary psychopaths to help him get into character. Jared Leto, meanwhile, used to send his Suicide Squad co-stars live rats and other disturbing paraphernalia while staying in character outside of shooting.
Director Matt Reeves' upcoming film The Batman is already generating plenty of buzz, especially over the hiring of Twilight star Robert Pattinson. But what DC fans are excited about most is the promise of a Batman movie that for the first time places the focus on the detective side of the Dark Knight. And though plot details still remain hard to come by, a rumored description of the story has been doing the rounds online, which tells us the following:
Tyler Hoechlin shot to fame when he joined the cast of Teen Wolf. But the role that bolstered his comic book cred was when he played Superman on The CW's Supergirl. As an optimistic take on the Man of Steel on the hit series, fans welcomed Hoechlin's interpretation with open arms, especially with the recent deluge of gritty, dark versions of the character in films and other media.
The new season of Titans has Game of Thrones alum Iain Glen taking on the role of Bruce Wayne. As fans know, Batman has already made one memorable appearance on the first season finale of the hit show. In that episode, we got to see a nightmare version of the Dark Knight who'd gone rogue and displayed the deadly fighting skills and strategic mindset that fans have always clamored to see more of in movie versions of the hero.
Marvel recently took another step towards ramping up the future of the MCU to a cosmic level by introducing Uatu the Watcher to the franchise. The character will be voiced by Jeffrey Wright, who'll make his first appearance in the upcoming Disney Plus animated show What If...?, a series of re-imaginings of the MCU's existing storylines.
Director Todd Phillips' Joker film is gearing up for release, and the studio is being more careful than ever to stress how different this gritty origin movie about the Clown Prince of Crime is going to be from traditional superhero fare. Case in point: while most actors talk about how much muscle they had to gain to portray a superhero or villain, Phillips revealed in an interview for LA Times that actor Joaquin Phoenix, who plays the titular role in the movie, lost 52 pounds before production began.
One of the most anticipated films on the upcoming MCU roster is Thor: Love And Thunder. It features fan-favorite Avenger Thor, portrayed by Chris Hemsworth, who reunites with director Taika Watiti, who breathed new life into the franchise when he helmed the action-packed, cheekily irreverent take on the Marvel superhero in Ragnarok.
Ever since the end of the hit show Breaking Bad all the way back in 2013, fans have been clamoring to get more information about its characters and backstory, especially concerning Jesse Pinkman, the only main character tot make it to the end of the show alive. Now fans are going to get to dive back into that world with El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie.
