Lanterns has cast
Ulrich Thomsen as the iconic DC villain Sinestro. Thomsen is known for his roles in
Banshee and
The Blacklist. He'll be joining the previously announced leads
Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and
Aaron Pierre as John Stewart. Sinestro was originally a member of the Green Lantern Corps, an intergalactic police force that wields power rings to protect the universe. Sinestro was considered one of the greatest Green Lanterns due to his strength, intellect, and skill. However, his desire for order and control led him to abuse his power. He believed that fear was a more effective tool for maintaining order than willpower. This divergence in philosophy eventually caused him to be expelled from the Green Lantern Corps. He would convince the Weaponers of Qward to make him a yellow power rings based on fear instead of willpower. He would eventually use this ring to create the Sinestro Corps. His interactions with characters like Hal Jordan and John Stewart are central to many of the Green Lantern stories. How he will tie into a series that has been described as a murder mystery in the Midwest remains to be seen. The series is from
Chris Mundy,
Damon Lindelof and
Tom King.
NATE MOORE TALKS ARMOR WARS AND BLACK PANTHER 302/15/25 @ 1:43 pm EST
Source: YouTube | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a CommentFormer Marvel Producer
Nate Moore spoke about the planned
Armor Wars movie, and while it’s not a project he’s working on now, he did have this to say, “As Marvel continues to go through this phase, we want to make sure whatever we’re making is awesome. This means we had to slow down some things that were on the front burner. It doesn’t mean we’ll never make it, but it does mean we have to be a little bit more considered so that every time out audiences are guaranteed quality.” He was then asked by
Collider about
Denzel Washington saying
Ryan Coogler was writing a role for him in
Black Panther 3 and if they had figured out what that role was going to be: “We haven’t, and that’s what’s so funny about his comments. He actually called Ryan to apologize because we should be so lucky but that’s super early days. Ryan is finishing his film
Sinners, which is going to be amazing, so we haven’t really started cracking story. I know there is a lot of speculation and casting rumors on-line, but none of it’s true. Which is fine because that speaks to people’s passion for the property, which is great. If and when we can figure out how to get Denzel into the MCU, that’s going to be an amazing day. And I couldn’t be more excited for what Panther 3 could be.” It was announced a few months back that Moore was leaving Marvel Studios but would still be involved as a producer on some projects, like
Black Panther 3 while also pursuing some non-MCU producing projects.
A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES NOT MOVIING FORWARD AT HULU02/15/25 @ 1:25 pm EST
Source: Deadline | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a CommentFour years ago, Hulu made a deal to adapt its first ever fantasy project based on the popular book series
A Court of Thorns and Roses by
Sarah J. Maas. The books are a loose retelling of the
Beauty and the Beast story with elements of romance, adventure and political intrigue. The adaptation was in the hands of
Ron Moore who had an overall deal with 20th Television and was set up with Hulu with a script commitment plus significant penalty. All of this looked good for this project to happen. Except it’s not as Moore’s deal is done and has moved back to Sony Pictures Television and while it was believed that the IP would continue with a different writer, the word now is that Hulu and 20th Television will not be proceeding forward with the project.
CAP'S BIG BOX OFFICE WEEKEND02/15/25 @ 1:06 pm EST
Source: Deadline | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a CommentCaptain America: Brave New World opened this weekend and easily won Valentine’s Day with a $40 million Friday and is now eyeing between $90 to $105 million for the four-day holiday weekend. And while Marvel and Disney should be happy with those numbers, a 51% critics-score and a B- Cinemascore makes the longevity of the film questionable. The reaction can’t really be called mix as there is a general consensus that the film is good but not great, that the script tells more than shows and that the marketing gave away more than it should. The acting of
Anthony Mackie,
Harrison Ford,
Danny Ramirez and
Carl Lumbly are being praised and the reaction to the visual effects range from great to horrible. The film takes on a lot, not only a soft reboot of the
Captain America franchise, but it’s also a spiritual sequel to
the Incredible Hulk, a follow up for
Falcon and the Winter Soldier and answers one of the biggest plot threads from
Eternals. This, plus the introduction of the Red Hulk, might be what is driving audiences into the theaters, and most are coming out with a higher opinion of the film than the critics. The audience-score currently sits at 78%, which is on par with
Deadpool & Wolverine and a few points behind
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 and is the first Phase 5 film to have a higher audience-score than critics-score.

Army of Darkness Sale Spectacular! HERE'S WHY 'WEDNESDAY' SEASON 2'S RELEASE IS TAKING SO LONG02/14/25 @ 2:17 pm EST
Source: The Direct | Categories: MIsc | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a Comment
Wednesday is one of Netflix's most-watched series of all time, but the wait for Season 2 has been long.
The young adult series stars Jenna Ortega as Wednesday, the daughter of the iconic Addams family. After being expelled from her school Wednesday is enrolled at Nevermore Academy and begins unraveling all manner of supernatural mysteries within its halls.
The first season of
Wednesday was released in November 2022, marking a more than two-year wait between seasons.
The most significant delay for the series was due to the 2023 Writer's Guild strike in Hollywood, which paused development on many major TV series.
The writers' strike lasted from May to September 2023, meaning writing on
Wednesday was delayed for at least four months. While the series was said to be a priority for Netflix (along with the long-delayed
Stranger Things 5), filming did not begin on the series until May 2024. The series also moved locations between seasons, shifting filming from Romania to Ireland for Season 2.
Netflix has confirmed
Wednesday will be one of its 2025 releases. (via The Direct)

Captain America: Brave New World landed $12 million in Thursday previews at the domestic box office as Marvel Studios attempts to reboot the franchise with an entirely new cast — and deliver a solid swing for Marvel Studios.
That puts the year’s first tentpole to open to $90 million-plus over the four-day Valentine’s Day/Presidents Day weekend, one of the top showings ever for the holiday and in line with pre-release tracking. That’s the same weekend the first
Deadpool opened, as well as Marvel’s
Black Panther and
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which debuted to $120 million over the three-day Presidents Day weekend in 2023 after earning $17.5 million in previews.
Directed by Julius Onah,
Brave New World stars the former Falcon Anthony Mackie as he takes up the mantle of Captain America. The film also stars Harrison Ford as newly elected U.S. President Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, who wants to bring Captain America aboard in an official military position. But before Wilson can make a decision, he uncovers a nefarious global plot that includes facing off with Ross when the president unexpectedly transforms into the Red Hulk.

ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM, Marvel’s latest comic book event, launched earlier this week, and astonished readers learned that being ruled by Victor von Doom is nothing short of magnificent! Impacting the status quo of the Marvel Universe for the foreseeable future, the triumphs and trials of Doom’s regime will be told in a nine-issue core series by acclaimed writer Ryan North and superstar artist R.B. Silva, while the iconic supervillain’s ascension reverberates across the line in numerous limited series and tie-in issues. Following a sold-out debut, a Second Printing of ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM #1 is on its way to comic shops next month. And today, loyal subjects can get an advance look at the second issue, which delivers a monumental confrontation between Doom and his archenemies—the Fantastic Four!
After rightfully seizing the title of Sorcerer Supreme in last summer’s
Blood Hunt, Doctor Doom is determined to use its legendary power to make the world a better place for all! In ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM #1, Doom successfully unites the planet under his leadership, and—to the shock of your favorite super heroes—Earth embraces its new Emperor! Guiding the world towards everlasting peace and safety, Doom’s dominion promises to achieve what his foes have so often failed to accomplish. Yet, as seen in a new preview of ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM #2, there are still those selfish enough to oppose him! In a brazen move they’ll live to regret, the Fantastic Four strike at Earth’s beloved new leader while he delivers a rousing speech at the United Nations. Plus, Doom confides his plans in the only person who commands his respect, Valeria Richards. Does she share her uncle’s glorious vision, or will she be blinded by jealousy like her foolish parents!?
“I signed for three hours at Crossover Comics in Montreal on Wednesday to celebrate the launch, and it was busy non-stop the whole time,” North shared. “I met a ton of great people—and, happily, had my first review there too, from a reader who read the issue while waiting in line for it to be signed! Thankfully, he really liked it. It's been fantastic to wake up in a snow-covered Montreal and see all the enthusiasm about the book. It's a story that's been in the works for years, so to finally have it out—and so well-received—is really gratifying.”
Check out the preview for ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM #2 and preorder the second printing and upcoming issues at your local comic shop today!
