ABC has unveiled its schedule for its 2017-2018 television year, and it confirms some big shifts for its Marvel slate. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will not premiere its fifth season until midseason next year. Not only that, but it’s been given a new timeslot: Fridays at 9 PM EST. However, the season still has a 22-episode order. Meanwhile, Inhumans will occupy the Fridays at 9 PM EST for the fall. It premieres on September 22nd, following the IMAX premiere of the first two episodes. That show will only run for eight episodes (for its first season, anyways), so S.H.I.E.L.D. will take its place for the second half of the season. So…

Following director Rick Famuyiwa’s departure a few months back, Warner Bros. has been taking its time with DC Films’ The Flash. Screenwriter Joby Harold was hired to do a page-one rewrite back in January, but since then, word has been quiet on the Scarlet Speedster’s very first movie. The film will star Ezra Miller as Flash, Kiersey Clemons as Iris West, Billy Crudup as Henry Allen, and Ray Fisher as Cyborg. Well, things are finally heating back up, as three directors are said to be in contention for the gig. The Wrap, Variety, and The Hollywood Reporter have stated that Robert Zemeckis, Matthew Vaughn, and Sam Raimi are all up for the…

One of the most frequently fancast superhero roles in recent memory is DC’s Shazam. The character will star in his own movie, which was originally set to feature Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam. However, while Johnson is still involved as a producer, he’s now appearing in his own movie instead. Meanwhile, Shazam might be directed by Lights Out‘s David F. Sandberg. Now, Johnson has expressed interest in an actor for the Shazam role. Speaking with We Got This Covered (transcription via Heroic Hollywood), The Rock reaffirmed that Black Adam’s backstory is a big draw to him, and he’s been trying to play that character for about 10 years now. Talk then shifted…

Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 formally kicked off the summer season last weekend with a $146.5 million opening weekend in North America.

We’re less than a month away from the release of DC Films’ Wonder Woman. So far, all three installments in the DC Extended Universe have made a lot of money, with Suicide Squad having the biggest overall net profit. This week, the early tracking numbers for Wonder Woman are in, and they indicate a solid opening weekend for Diana Prince’s long awaited first film. Both Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter say that Wonder Woman is currently on track to gross at least $65 million in its opening weekend. That would put it on par with the first Thor and Captain America movies back in 2011. However, one tracking source shares a more…

Back in December 2014, SyFy began developing the television pilot Krypton, which takes place two generations before the destruction of the titular planet. Since then, the network has taken its time, as the pilot wasn’t formally ordered until last year. The pilot was then cast and shot, and some leaked promos popped up on the web. But now, it’s official. SyFy has given a series order for Krypton. It’s currently unclear if the show will premiere this fall or during midseason, while the episode count is also unknown. Krypton focuses on Superman’s grandfather, Seg-El (played by Cameron Cuffe), as he fights to redeem his family’s honor and save his beloved world…

The next DC superhero to enter the world of television is Black Lightning, thanks to Salim and Mara Brock Akil, as well as Greg Berlanti. The pilot was originally set up at Fox, before moving over to The CW. The latter network is already home to all of Berlanti’s other comic book shows (the Arrowverse shows and Riverdale), so Black Lightning seemed like a natural fit. Now, it’s official. The CW has confirmed a series order for Black Lightning. The show stars Cress Williams as Jefferson Pierce, who returns to the world of superheroics/vigilantism after years of retirement. The series also stars Nafessa Williams, China Anne McClain, and Christine Adams. While…
