SyFy had been developing a Krypton show for a while, but this year, it finally got a series order. The show takes place long before the destruction of the planet, as Superman’s grandfather, Seg-El, fights for his family. There is also a conspiracy from the present day that threatens Kal-El’s legacy. Now, we know when the show is premiering. KryptonSite has confirmed that Krypton will premiere in March 2018. An exact day and time has yet to be confirmed, but that information should be available sooner than later. Additionally, KryptonSite has shared a new plot synopsis, breaking down the series’ story and teasing the time travel plot. Check it out below.…

On the big screen, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become known for making family-friendly movies, with every single movie being PG-13. With Disney distributing these movies, fans have not expected R-rated content to ever come from this franchise – save for a few shows on Netflix. However, with Disney’s acquisition of Fox, that may be about to change. Disney CEO Bob Iger recently said that the studio is open to keeping the Deadpool franchise R-rated, and there is interest in other Marvel movies geared towards adults. This would allow Marvel Studios to explore more mature and complex themes on film. So, if Disney and Marvel are going to release any…

HBO has been developing a television version of Watchmen for a couple years. Back in 2015, Zack Snyder (who directed the film adaptation) was talking to the network about bringing the story to TV. Fast forward to this past summer, and Damon Lindelof is hired to oversee the potential series, with Snyder no longer involved. Now, we have a promising update. According to That Hashtag Show, the Watchmen pilot is moving full speed ahead. Production is expected to begin in March 2018. This would mean that casting news should be coming soon. (For what it’s worth, John Cena keeps posting Doctor Manhattan pictures on Instagram…) Hopefully, we’ll be hearing more…

A few weeks ago, we got a first look at Dick Grayson/Robin from DC’s next live action series, Titans. Today, we have a look at two more heroes: Hank Hall/Hawk (Alan Ritchson) and Dawn Granger/Dove (Minka Kelly). Warner Bros.

DC Films’ Aquaman will feature three of the character’s enemies: Orm/Ocean Master, Black Manta, and King Nereus. Fans speculated that all three villains would be the main antagonists in the movie, not unlike Spider-Man 3. Fortunately, that isn’t the case. Director James Wan clarifies to Entertainment Weekly, saying that the movie doesn’t actually have three main villains. “This is what I’ll say: I don’t have three villains. I think that’s ridiculous! I would never go into an origin movie with three villains. We don’t even know the main character let alone the world and its antagonist. I believe in taking baby steps.” That antagonist is Orm, played by Patrick Wilson.…

Yesterday, it was confirmed that Disney is in the process of acquiring many of 21st Century Fox’s assets, including its film studio. This means that the X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Deadpool are finally coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But before the deal, Fox had a slew of X-Men films and spinoffs planned. How will they be affected by the deal? The Hollywood Reporter suggests that the X-Men slate is currently in flux as the franchise is integrated into the MCU. Basically, Marvel will re-evaluate developing projects and see which ones fit into its broader strategy. For starters, it’s unknown whether any current actors (such as Jennifer Lawrence and Michael Fassbender)…
