SUPERGIRL CAMEOS IN THE FLASH LAST NIGHT, AND WHAT THAT MEANS FOR THEIR CROSSOVER STORY02/10/16 @ 2:01 am EST
Source: Comicbook | Categories: DC | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a CommentWarning: Spoilers ahead for Tuesday night's episode of The Flash, titled "Welcome to Earth-2."Yes, folks, that was Melissa Benoist as Supergirl that you saw on
The Flash.
And, since Barry Allen was moving through a breach in the multiverse, it's likely safe to assume that she comes from a different Earth.
While many fans assumed that
Supergirl and
The Flash take place on different Earths because the title of their March 28 crossover episode is "Worlds Finest," without the apostrophe, seeing her out there in the multiverse alongside an alternate Green Arrow and the John Wesley Shipp version of The Flash feels like hard confirmation.
The idea that Supergirl exists on a different earth is a mixed bag for fans. It means that the character is unlikely to team up with the grounded and gritty
Arrow or the time-traveling
DC's Legends of Tomorrow.
LegendsEP Phil Klemmer recently told reporters that the multiverse was
The Flash's thing, and their time traveling will remain on Earth-1 for the foreseeable future.
It also explains why the general public is so reluctant to accept The Flash and other super-powered heroes. In the world of
Supergirl, her cousin has been Superman for years and is a beloved public figure. Many fans have pointed out during the run-up to finalizing a crossover that it could create continuity hiccups in the
Arrowverse to have them share a world.
Of course, that isn't to say there's no Kryptonians on Earth-1. Remember, Rip Hunter on
DC's Legends of Tomorrow last week told the team that he has "seen Men of Steel die and Dark Knights fall."
STAR TREK CONFIRMS WHEN 'STARFLEET ACADEMY' WILL START FILMING03/28/24 @ 10:45 am EST
Source: ComicBook | Categories: Star Trek | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a CommentThe Star Trek franchise continues to grow with the addition of
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, and the new series is gearing up for filming. Star Trek received a breath of fresh air on Paramount+, with
Star Trek: Discovery,
Star Trek: Lower Decks,
Picard, and
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds all finding success. Even more content is on the way, most notably in the form of a young adult series titled
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. What sets
Starfleet Academy apart from its predecessors is it takes place in the 32nd century, meaning it shouldn't have to worry about continuity as much. Now, we have an idea of when Starfleet Academy production kicks off. Variety reports production on
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy will begin this summer, with the show sporting "the largest single set ever created for Star Trek on TV." A description of the series states
Starfleet Academy "will follow the adventures of a new class of Starfleet cadets as they come of age in one of the most legendary places in the galaxy." The newest season of
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is currently in production, and Michelle Yeoh's
Section 31 movie has wrapped filming, so there's a lot for Star Trek fans to look forward to. (via

JERRY BRUCKHEIMER: NEXT 'PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN' FILM WILL BE A REBOOT03/27/24 @ 10:27 am EST
Source: Hollywood Reporter | Categories: Disney | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a CommentJerry Bruckheimer has revealed that the next installment of
Pirates of the Caribbean will be a reboot of the beloved franchise. The legendary producer said in an interview with ComicBook.com that they’re working on a
Pirates of the Caribbean sequel as well as
Top Gun 3, but noted that the latter is going to take longer to develop since it involves coordinating schedules with several A-list actors, such as Tom Cruise, Miles Teller and Glen Powell. “You don’t know how they come together. You just don’t know,” Bruckheimer said. “Because with
Top Gun you have an actor who is iconic and brilliant. And how many movies he does before he does
Top Gun, I can’t tell you. But we’re gonna reboot
Pirates, so that is easier to put together because you don’t have to wait for certain actors.” Disney seemingly starting from scratch with
Pirates may come as a surprise to some fans, as there have already been ideas swirling in recent years about the franchise’s future — some that involve Margot Robbie and others that see Johnny Depp returning. In an interview with
The Hollywood Reporter, Bruckheimer said that he “would love to have” Depp in another movie.
'NIGHT OF THE HUNTER' REMAKE IN THE WORKS FROM 'BLACK PHONE' TEAM03/27/24 @ 10:28 am EST
Source: ComicBook | Categories: MIsc | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a CommentScott Derrickson has his next project lined up. It has been revealed the
Doctor Strange helmer will soon tackle a reimagining of
The Night of the Hunter. A cinema classic some might say is one of the best films ever released, Derrickson is directing the remake of the picture while writing the script for it alongside frequent collaborator C. Robert Cargill. Charles Laughton's original 1955 film—an adaptation of a 1953 novel of the same name—was added to the United States National Film Registry in 1992. The film and novel feature a con man who pretends to be a preacher to get close to a family in order to steal their money. Work on the film will likely take place after Derrickson and Cargill wrap work on
The Black Phone 2, the project the duo is currently working on now. Given the original
Black Phone was based on a short story, it's yet to be seen what plot a sequel could follow. Joe Hill, the author behind the aforementioned short previously teased an exciting, all-new story for Ethan Hawke's Creeper.
The Black Phone is now streaming on STARZ while
The Black Phone 2 is set to hit theaters on June 27, 2025. The original
The Night of the Hunter film can be seen on Tubi. (via
