The CW’s latest DC pilot, iZombie, has added another player to its cast. It has been announced that 666 Park Avenue and One Tree Hill actor Robert Buckley has landed a part in the Vertigo adaptation. He will play Major, who is described as “a seemingly perfect former college football player-turned-environmental engineer. Major was recently engaged to a woman named Liv, with whom he’s trying to remain friends despite still being in love with her.” Liv is said to be the protagonist of the pilot/potential series. Buckley joins previously announced cast members Malcolm Goodwin, Alexandra Krosney, and David Anders.  iZombie is targeting a spot on The CW’s Fall 2014 schedule,…

A few months ago, The Vampire Diaries actor Steven McQueen shared his interest in playing Nightwing on The CW’s Arrow. Obviously, we don’t know if Dick Grayson will be appearing on the series anytime soon (if ever), but McQueen did apparently meet with the producers about a role in Arrow. Now, speaking with Access Hollywood (via Superhero Movie News), he once again mentions Nightwing when discussing future projects. “Hopefully soon Nightwing on a show called Arrow, but still waiting to hear about that.”  However, the chances of Nightwing appearing on Arrow are slim. While the producers of the series have expressed interest in bringing the character to Starling City (even including a…

After the premiere of this week’s stunning episode of Arrow, a promo for the March 19th episode, “Suicide Squad”. One of the shots offered a glimpse at an ARGUS prisoner with pale skin and blonde hair tied up in ponytails. This immediately led to speculation that the character was Harley Quinn. This makes sense, as Quinn is currently a member of the Suicide Squad in the New 52. Plus, the character has significantly grown in popularity in recent years, appearing in the Batman: Arkham video games and recently headlining her own comic series. Additionally, Webster Talent stated on Facebook that actress Cassidy Alexa will be appearing on Arrow in a…

With production on The Flash pilot underway, we have another casting announcement. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Fringe and 300 actor Patrick Sabongui has landed the role of David Singh in the planned Arrow spin-off. Singh is the police captain of Central City PD. His role in the pilot is said to be as a guest star, but if Flash is ordered to series (and it probably will be), Singh may become a recurring character.  In other Flash news, we have a minor piece of news surrounding Jesse L. Martin’s Detective West. FlashTVNews has heard that the character’s full name is Joe West. The character is the father of Iris West…

We have a couple more news tidbits for Batman vs. Superman, both concerning the film’s costumes. First, Zack Snyder was asked at the 300: Rise of an Empire premiere if we were indeed getting our first look at Ben Affleck suited up as Batman soon. He simply tells Clevver Movies that “I cannot confirm that.” The question apparently caught Snyder off guard, and he goes on to say that he doesn’t even have photos of the new Superman and Batman costumes on his phone. Needless to say, the way he answered this question seems to suggest that he knows more than what he’s said. We’re supposed to get our first looks…

Speaking with Collider while promoting tonight’s big episode, “The Promise”, Arrow executive producer Marc Guggenheim looks ahead to the rest of the stellar second season. The next episode will bring the Suicide Squad into the mix, and here, Guggenheim addresses whether or not that was always the plan. “We started the year off with a list of characters who we wanted to see, and Bronze Tiger was one of them. Once we came up with an idea for how to do Bronze Tiger on the show, we very quickly did the math and were like, “You know, there’s Bronze Tiger, but Deadshot has also been on the show, and that’s already…

With Matt Ryan set to play John Constantine in NBC’s take on the DC/Vertigo icon, we have three more additions to the cast of the television pilot. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Harold Perrineau (Lost), Lucy Griffiths (True Blood), and Charles Halford (True Detective) have joined the adaptation,  which is targeting a spot on NBC’s Fall 2014 schedule.  Perrineau will play Manny, “an authoritative angel assigned to watch over Constantine. He has the power to step into other people’s bodies, and although he is meant only to observe, Manny will not hesitate to help out if he can save a life.” The actor has some comic book experience, as he…

Arrow returns this week with S2E15, titled “The Promise”. The episode, which star Stephen Amell has called the best of the series, will deal with the beginning of Oliver Queen’s war against Slade Wilson in the remainder of the season. And now, we have a much better idea of what to expect. The CW has released a new three-minute trailer for the rest of Season 2, specifically teasing episodes “The Promise”, “Suicide Squad”, “Birds of Prey” and “Deathstroke”. If this trailer is anything to go by, it looks like we’re in for quite a ride for the next several episodes. Watch it below, and stay tuned for more Arrow news…

Before Jesse Eisenberg was cast as Lex Luthor in 2016’s Batman vs. Superman, Bryan Cranston was heavily rumored to land the role. However, it turns out he was never even approached. Appearing on The Howard Stern Show (via MLive), the Breaking Bad star confirmed that, while he would have loved to play Luthor, the role was never offered to him. “In the minds of fans, it’s true. In the minds of the hierarchy of Warner Brothers, it’s not true.” He adds, “I was not involved in any of that whatsoever.”  Cranston then reaffirms that taking on the iconic role would have interested him, even admitting that it would have been a once…
