Technically, it was a sort of a collaboration.

Walker is instead rewarded by getting a new job with Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ Contessa Vanessa De De Fontaine.

Dwayne Johnson is immense. If there’s anyone whose actual body resembles a superhero comic illustration, it’s him. Why would he need additional padding? Most SH costumes get padded to look not even as muscular as Johnson already is, so I don’t have any trouble buying the idea that he doesn’t need padding. I’m not even…

Marvel’s Thor did fill its ranks with a few major stars—Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins—but they weren’t the leads;

I don’t know that Marvel’s ready to add a Spider-Woman quite yet, but you never really know.

Why would they need to announce that? She has been Maria Hill in what, five MCU movies already. Sorry for Cobie to have to say this, but Maria Hill has not yet ascended to be an above-the-title/featured-on-the-poster role.

Ick.

She was awesome in Night Manager, and one reason why her character may have been somewhat limited may be that she was actually very pregnant in real life while filming. The character was originally written as male.

I am always puzzled by how handless characters like these get through life when they are not killing people. Seems kind of pointless to blades instead of hands when you can just hold swords with your hands and have both for the times when you need to, like make dinner, or go to the bathroom.

Well, Logan did come back to Showtime for the “sequel” series Penny Dreadful: City of Angels, which didn’t seem to make much of an impact. Usually, standard TV Series contracts are initially for 5-7 seasons, but I would imagine someone like Eva Green could negotiate it down to three. Logan actually did wrap up her…

The next Bond film after No Time To Die will have a new Bond, and probably a new Felix Leiter, not that Jeffrey Wright shouldn’t have plenty of other work opportunities. Of course, he hasn’t been officially announced for the HBO series, so grains of salt all around.

There had to have been more to the Penny Dreadful story to tell, becauuse there’s no way anyone does the work of building a complex, multi-character serialized story for three seasons only to abruptly drop it —on purpose.
Usually, when the executive producer makes the claim that it was intentional to end the show well…

Well, this is surely an oversimplification, but right-wingers hate them because they blame them for the diminishing of American manufacturing power over the past four decades creating economic challenges in the U.S.,  among many other things. Also, they’re Communists. Left-wingers hate them for consistent human rights…

Considering that WB has no idea what it really wants to do with DC movies at this point, I wouldn’t have been surprised if they jumped at the opportunity to pander to the Chinese market.
Of course that pandering might not sit well with American audiences who can smell that kind of thing a mile away and have ambivalence…

It seemed less important this week since the super-soldier serum is now gone . . .

He was the one who was also one of the Strike Force in Captain America The Winter Soldier, also with few or no lines. His character in that was called “Jack Rollins”, but you would never know it.

I really don’t think that Kevin Feige has any appetite for bringing back any Agents of Shield characters or anything else else that came out of Jeph Loeb’s defunct Marvel TV division. Possibly some of the Netflix characters are on the table, but I don’t see their shows being revived. If anything, they might revisit Age…

I was completely unaware that KGBeast was even in Batman v Superman, until just now when I discovered that it was Callan Mulvey’s mostly wordless terrorist/mercenary character. How was I supposed to know that?

Certainly, my heart goes out to Brubaker and other comics writers who have seen their work become the basis for $billion grossing movies and TV series, but this is just a variation on an old story. Unfortunately, comics publishers like DC and Marvel operate on antiquated contracts that treats its creative teams as…

I believe that Warner Brothers TV has a kind of trainee program set up for actors on their shows who want to direct. I can’t remember where I heard about it, but it’s very thorough and really positions them to be well-qualified when they finally get the opportunity.
