At first, some people (myself included) thought it was an out of season April Fool’s joke, but it turns out that it was real. However, if you still need proof, Fox has now released the teaser trailer for the PG-13 version, which is called Once Upon a Deadpool. The focus on the trailer is the interaction between Deadpool and the actor Fred Savage, playing himself. Check it out below.…

SUPERGIRL Casts Jon Cryer as Lex Luthor for Season 4
Last month, it was announced that Lex Luthor is finally making his Arrowverse debut on Supergirl later this season. Now, the character has been cast, and the actor has quite the role in Luthor history. It has been announced that Jon Cryer (Two and a Half Men) is set to play Lex Luthor. He will first appear on Supergirl in episode 15 of this season, and from there, he will be a recurring character.

First DETECTIVE PIKACHU Trailer Released
The idea of a live action Pokemon is something I’ve personally been against from day one. The reason for that is I’ve always felt the design doesn’t work for CGI which would be needed. So you can understand my reaction when I’ve heard the news about a live-action adaptation of the spin-off game of Detective Pikachu. Flash forward to today, and we have the first trailer to the movie. Had this been an animated film, it would have sold me right on the go. However, this movie is not animated. I was not a fan of how the Pokemon looked, but who knows. Maybe they will look better once the movie…
