Susan Sarandon Cast as Villain in DC’s Blue Beetle Movie
DC Film’s first Latino superhero is set to do battle with Queen Narissa. Susan Sarandon has been cast as the lead villain, Victoria Kord, in the upcoming Blue Beetle adaptation. As The Wrap reports, Sharon Stone was originally tied to the role, but Sarandon has officially closed the deal on the part. The comic book adaptation will see Sarandon’s Kord teaming with Raoul Max Trujillo’s Carapax the Indestructible Man to battle the titular hero, aka Jaime Reyes, played by Cobra Kai breakout Xolo Maridueña. The cast also includes Harvey Guillén, Belissa Escobedo, and Bruna Marquezine. Angel Manuel Soto is onboard to direct the film from a script by Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer. Originally set for an HBO Max debut, the project has since been bumped up to a theatrical release. Advertisement Related...
DC Films Reveals New The Flash, Black Adam, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom Footage: Watch
In 2022, the world needs heroes, and DC Films is here to deliver. For the first time since it was launched nine years ago, the DC Extended Universe will see four different tentpole films released this year. In a new ad created for Super Bowl weekend, DC is showing off all these projects with new looks at The Flash, Black Adam, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, and The Batman. While there’s not a ton of fresh footage from The Batman (why would there be, with numerous trailers already released?), we do get a few new teases from The Flash. Mostly, it’s a closer look at Barry Allen’s (Ezra Miller) new suit, which includes some handy eye protection. The biggest reveals come from the Black Adam footage. We get to see far more of star Dwayne Johnson in action than s...
Zack Snyder’s Justice League Is An Audacious Mess: Review
The Pitch: Well, it’s finally here: the infamous “Snyder Cut.” The rallying cry of DC fanboys for nearly half a decade, Zack Snyder’s original version of the DC cinematic universe’s Avengers equivalent before studio meddling and a tragic death in the family led the oft-maligned director to step away and let Joss Whedon get his grubby, quippy little hands all over his self-serious, baroque baby. The 2017 version was visibly, obnoxiously, the product of two directors with warring approaches wrestling with a single project: Snyderesque aesthetics clashed mightily with repetitive, snarky repartee that didn’t seem to befit the DC verse’s grumpiest heroes. It was a bit more fun, but incredibly uneven, and featured one of cinema’s most horrifying upper lips. But now, amid enormous, organized...
Henry Cavill in Talks to Return as Superman in DC Extended Universe Films: Report
At this point, I’d be cautious to take news coming out about any cinematic Superman with a grain of salt, but here’s the latest: Henry Cavill is reportedly in talks to reprise his role as the Man of Steel in future DC Extended Universe films. Deadline broke the story, noting that “sources with knowledge” of the situation say Warner Bros. is trying to bring Cavill back for multiple DC movies. However, one of those is not a standalone sequel to 2013’s Man of Steel. Instead, Cavill’s Superman would appear in supporting or cameo roles in other characters’ movies, with many comparing the arrangement to something like Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Looking ahead, WB currently has Wonder Woman 1984 awaiting an August 14th release after a COVID-19-induced delay, while&n...
