Every year, The CW ups the ante on its Arrowverse crossovers. This year’s event, “Crisis on Earth-X,” was the biggest one yet, as nearly two dozen heroes joined forces to fight Nazi invaders from another Earth. Of course, there’s no way this is the last crossover, but it does set the bar high for next year. Whether it’s adapting an iconic DC Comics storyline or creating its own, there are plenty of potential directions for future crossovers. Below, we list five stories we want to see in the Arrowverse. Tower of Babel Not only was this story a big deal in DC Comics, but it also inspired the name of…

A few weeks ago, it was reported that 21st Century Fox was looking to sell most of its assets, including its film studio. The Walt Disney Company emerged as the top contender to acquire the studio. Now, the deal has been announced. Disney has confirmed that it will acquire most of Fox’s assets, with its transaction value being a whopping $66.1 billion. The deal will close in 12-18 months. Since this is such a huge acquisition, it is going to need congressional approval before it can be finalized, similar to the ongoing AT&T/Time Warner merger. The 20th Century Fox, Fox Searchlight, and Fox 2000 studios are being brought under the…

Courtesy of That Hashtag Show, we have two more casting breakdowns for DC’s Titans series, which is now undergoing production. [YOUNG JOHN CROSSLAND]Male, Caucasian, To play 10-13, athletic, lean, approximately 5’0″ and not afraid of heights. Please list height on submission. RECURRING GUEST STAR [DAVE STORY]Male, mid 30s-40s, Caucasian. The downfalls of others only make this man stronger. Polished. Unwavering. Think a young Jack Nicholson. RECURRING GUEST STAR. The first one is almost definitely a young Dick Grayson, as “John Crossland” was used in the character’s casting call before. This suggests that we’ll be revisiting Dick’s circus past, which saw the deaths of his parents. As for the second breakdown,…

Sony’s Venom movie has been filming for a while, but we have more casting news – and it could be one of the film’s biggest scores yet. According to The Wrap, actor Woody Harrelson is in talks to join Venom in an unknown role. Variety suggests that he could be some sort of henchman. But considering Harrelson’s star power, it wouldn’t be shocking if he played a much bigger role. Carnage, maybe? Harrelson is on a roll with blockbusters, playing the villain in this summer’s War for the Planet of the Apes and playing a character in next year’s Solo: A Star Wars Story. Venom marks his first comic book…

The CW has yet to announce which of its DC shows will be returning for new seasons next year, but considering their success (particularly with the crossovers), it’s hard to imagine any of them going away anytime soon. Executive producer Marc Guggenheim sounds confident about his two shows, Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow, and there are some ideas for next season. Speaking with ComicBook, Guggenheim confirms that the writers room is already talking about new seasons for Arrow and Legends, citing at least two key ideas. “I would say on Legends we have an idea for what I will call the raison d’etre [reason for existing] of Season 4. Like,…

Right now, Disney is on the verge of acquiring most of 21st Century Fox’s assets, including the 20th Century Fox film studio. This would put the X-Men franchise under the same roof as the Marvel Cinematic Universe, making a crossover inevitable. Recent rumors have suggested that Hugh Jackman could return from retirement and play Wolverine once again in the MCU. Unfortunately, that isn’t happening. Speaking with Collider, Jackman shares his thoughts on the Disney/Fox acquisition. While he’s excited to potentially see Wolverine alongside the Avengers, it won’t be him wearing the claws. “It’s interesting because for the whole 17 years I kept thinking that would be so great, like I…
