Production on 20th Century Fox’s Deadpool sequel begins later this summer. Directed by David Leitch, the film will see the return of Ryan Reynolds’ Merc with a Mouth and many other characters from the first movie. The sequel also introduces Josh Brolin’s Cable and Zazie Beetz’ Domino. Now, the movie has cast its villain…or one of them, anyways. According to Deadline, The Strain actor Jack Kesy has been cast as a “major” villain in Deadpool 2. While unconfirmed, it sounds likely that Kesy is playing Black Tom Cassidy, who is “…a Dublin-born mutant who can manipulate, bond with, and project energy through plant life. He is also capable of issuing…

Last year, director Doug Liman came on board to tackle DC’s Justice League Dark movie, replacing Guillermo del Toro. In the past few weeks, Liman has been hyping up his take on the source material, promising a more personal and character-driven film. Unfortunately, we won’t be seeing that take…at least with Liman behind the camera. Variety confirms that Liman has dropped out of directing Justice League Dark. The reason behind the exit is a scheduling conflict. Liman is attached to direct Lionsgate’s Chaos Walking, which just got the greenlight. However, Warner Bros. is already in the process of meeting with new directors. According to The Hollywood Reporter, one of the directors…

The trend of a post- or mid-credits scene in movies has become very common over the past decade or so. Marvel Studios popularized the concept of having at least one additional scene during or after the credits of each movie, teasing what’s to come next. Other franchises, such as X-Men and Warner Bros.’ MonsterVerse, have adopted the practice in recent years. However, the DC movies rarely have credit scenes. Green Lantern tried it back in 2011, but that obviously didn’t pan out. The DC Extended Universe’s first two installments, Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, did not have credit scenes. But Suicide Squad did have a mid-credits…

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is now in its third week of release in North America and fourth week in other countries. The Marvel Studios sequel has been another big moneymaker for the company, holding the #1 spot for two weeks in a row. Well, that changes this weekend…or does it? This weekend (via THR), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 grossed an estimated $35.1 million domestically. This puts it in second place behind newcomer Alien: Covenant, which grossed $36 million. But considering how close these numbers are, it’s possible that the two movies could switch places when the final figures come in tomorrow. We’ll have to wait and…

The Flash (3×22) – “Infantino Street” Written by:         Grainne Godfree Directed by:       Michael A Allowitz This week’s episode literally starts with a ticking clock. Why, because we’re exactly 24-hours from Iris’ death and it seems like all of Team Flash is stumped to one level or another on how to avoid it.  Barry tries to comfort Iris but that seems to work so poorly that she records a message for Barry to see later.  We’ll get back to that later. The next morning they have a lead, Cisco has found the energy signature from the Dominator weapon in ARGUS HQ.  Unfortunately, Lyla can’t let the power source out…

After several years in development, Sony Pictures is finally moving forward with a film starring Spider-Man villain Venom. The studio recently set an October 5th, 2018 date for the movie, which is reportedly targeting an R rating and designed to kick of Sony’s own Marvel Universe. (So, don’t expect it to connect to Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man.) Now, the film has landed a star and director. Sony has announced that Tom Hardy will play Eddie Brock in Venom. Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland) will direct the movie. The studio tweeted the following image, confirming that production starts this fall and that the film is part of “Sony’s Marvel Universe.” Tom Hardy is Eddie…

At Upfronts today, The CW confirmed that Black Lightning will premiere during midseason, while it will still be separate from the rest of the network’s DC shows. Now, a first trailer for the series has been released. Black Lightning stars Jefferson Pierce, aka Black Lightning. Pierce hung up the Black Lightning identity years ago, but with a daughter hell-bent on justice and a star student being recruited by a local gang, he’ll be pulled back into the fight as the wanted vigilante and DC legend. Check out the trailer below, and stay tuned for more as we have it.

The CW originally began crossover events in the fall of 2014, when The Flash and Arrow united for a two-episode event. The formula was repeated the next year, and last year’s crossover was the biggest one yet, bringing in Supergirl and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. Of course, this trend will continue this coming fall, with all four shows returning for new seasons. At Upfronts today (via THR), The CW president Mark Pedowitz confirms that the next Arrowverse crossover will air in November. He adds that last year’s event resulted in The CW’s most-watched week in six years. However, one show that won’t play a role is newcomer Black Lightning, which premieres…
