We now know that Gal Gadot (Fast & Furious 6) is set to play Wonder Woman in 2015’s Batman vs. Superman, and will presumably reprise the role for future solo movies as well as Justice League. However, one fan-favorite choice for the role in the past was Cobie Smulders, who is currently playing Maria Hill in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In addition to being Joss Whedon’s choice when The Avengers director was working on a Wonder Woman movie, Smulders is also voicing the character in February’s The LEGO Movie. Speaking with Total Film, the actress comments on playing Wonder Woman in the animated film. “Wonder Woman is such an amazing character. But…

The latest production update for Batman vs. Superman confirms that the upcoming sequel has begun pre-production in Detroit, Michigan. The city is said to be subbing for both Metropolis and Gotham. According to Detroit Free Press, the production will be the biggest movie shoot in the state’s history. Filming will take place at the Michigan Motion Pictures Studios, and will occupy the complex until production ends in August. Additionally, the Man of Steel follow-up “will employ more Michigan residents than any other film project has ever employed in the state of Michigan,” says COO Anthony Wenson. As we move closer to the February start date, we should expect more production and…

The rest of Justice League: War‘s cast consists of Jason O’Mara as Batman, Alan Tudyk as Superman, Justin Kirk as Green Lantern, Christopher Gorham as The Flash, Sean Astin as Shazam, Shemar Moore as Cyborg, and George Newbern…

Over a week ago, a report surfaced claiming that DC Entertainment’s big announcement for 2014 is a plan to release two low budget movie adaptations (likely within the $20-40M range) a year. Among the titles that were mentioned were Suicide Squad, Deathstroke, and Booster Gold. A couple of those are included in the following list, suggesting which characters could headline their own lower budget films. Nightwing Dick Grayson/Nightwing will make his big screen debut in 2015’s Batman vs. Superman, but a solo film starring the former Robin would be an interesting and ideal way to go afterwards. Especially since this likely won’t be focused on much in the Zack Snyder-directed…

Before Ben Affleck landed the role of the Dark Knight in 2015’s Batman vs. Superman, a number of actors were rumored for the part. Josh Brolin was reportedly the frontrunner at one point, and the Labor Day star confirmed that he was in talks to play Batman. Now, speaking with the LA Times, Brolin looks back on being considered for the role, as well as the backlash in response to Affleck’s casting. “That whole thing was weird. You read stuff like, “I wish Ben Affleck would die.” It’s Armageddon because he’s going to play Batman. What’s happening? You can’t listen to any of it. It’s like a kid in a cereal…

Last night’s Arrow mid-season finale was electrifying (pun intended) to say the least. Among the multiple twists and plot developments was a rather inevitable move (SPOILER ALERT): Grant Gustin’s Barry Allen receives his powers that will lead to him becoming The Flash. The character will star in his own spin-off pilot, which will hopefully be picked up for a Fall 2014 premiere on The CW. Speaking with Comic Book Resources, Gustin, Geoff Johns and Andrew Kreisberg discuss the planned spin-off. The actor had this to say about what he is looking forward to when he films the pilot. “I’m mostly looking forward to getting the pilot script and seeing how Barry’s…

With Arrow going on hiatus after tonight’s mid-season finale, casting is moving forward for the rest of season two. According to TV Line, Prison Break and Heroes actor Robert Knepper has been cast as the villainous William Tockman, aka the Clock King. In this incarnation of the DC Comics foe, Tockman “earned his nickname being a brilliant criminal who plans his crimes with precision, down to the second.” The character will appear in episode 14, which also sees the return of Alex Kingston’s Dinah Lance. After this week’s highly anticipated episode, Arrow Season 2 returns January 15th on The CW.

We have a couple of reports concerning the Batman vs. Superman production. First off, Batman-On-Film has shared an update on the construction of the new Batmobile, which is rumored to be Cadillac-influenced. The site’s source says the following. “I was informed that the Batmobile is actually being designed and built in Warren, Michigan at GM’s famed ‘Studio X’ – the auto industry’s equivalent of Fort Knox. Or the first rule of FIGHT CLUB… The Batmobile will then be finished at the GM Advanced Design Studio in North Hollywood by February. I believe this is where the car will be tested and stunt drivers trained before the car is transported back to Detroit…

We have some more casting news for Warner Bros.’ hotly anticipated Batman vs. Superman, which begins filming next February. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Game of Thrones and Conan the Barbarian star Jason Momoa is negotiating for a role. While it isn’t known which character he is up for, THR suggests that he could play Doomsday, who has been rumored to be the sequel’s main villain alongside Lex Luthor.
