Supergirl has made a habit of casting actors from past Superman-based films and television shows. Dean Cain (Superman in Lois & Clark) and Helen Slater (Supergirl from the 1984 movie) play Kara’s adoptive parents, while Teri Hatcher (Lois Lane in Lois & Clark) played the villainous Rhea. Now, a major actor from Smallville has joined, but there’s a big twist. It has been announced (via TV Line) that Erica Durance, who played Lois Lane on The CW’s Smallville, has been added to Supergirl, which began production on season three this past week. Durance will play Kara’s late biological mother, Alura, who was originally played by Laura Benanti in the show’s first…

So far, Warner Bros. has only confirmed one solo movie for Ben Affleck’s Batman, following his role in this fall’s Justice League. But, if The Batman is a big hit, then sequels are inevitable. Would Matt Reeves be open to exploring Batman in a whole trilogy? He shared his thoughts on the possibility in an interview with Fandango. Reeves admits that he already has some ideas for a potential Batman trilogy, but he clearly wants to focus on making a good first movie before committing to sequels. “I have ideas about an arc, but really, the important thing is just to start… you have to start with one. You know,…

The last time 20th Century Fox held a San Diego Comic-Con panel was in 2015, where the studio showcased movies such as Deadpool and X-Men: Apocalypse. Unfortunately, the footage for both of those movies leaked online, despite being intended to be exclusive to SDCC. As a result, Fox skipped last year’s convention. But this year, the studio is returning. Fox will hold its SDCC panel in Hall H on Thursday, July 20th. The panel runs from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM. And that’s literally all we know for sure about the panel. The official description simply reads, “TBA.” Fox has scheduled three Marvel-based movies for next year: New Mutants, Deadpool…

Without a doubt, Spider-Man has one of the greatest rogues galleries in comic book history. So far, the movies have featured Green Goblin (twice), Dr. Octopus, Venom, Sandman, “New Goblin,” Lizard, Electro, and Rhino. This summer’s latest reboot, Homecoming, will feature the Vulture, Tinkerer, and Shocker. In addition, Sony is rebooting Venom for his own movie, while films starring Black Cat, Silver Sable, and more are in development. Of course, the list doesn’t stop there. With so many iconic villains, the Homecoming sequels have plenty to choose from. The intended trilogy is also expected to explore new villains, rather than revisiting ones from past films. Below, we’ve compiled a list…

Director Matt Reeves has been attached to direct DC Films’ The Batman since earlier this year, but he has been mostly focused on finishing and promoting his most recent film, War for the Planet of the Apes. But with that movie hitting theaters next week, Reeves will soon shift his complete focus to the Dark Knight’s next standalone film.

He is interested in exploring a personal story completely from Batman’s point-of-view, taking influence from Alfred Hitchcock’s style of filmmaking. He also has a desire to tell a noir-driven story that utilizes…
