Aubrey Plaza is exactly someone who belongs in a show like this, but her career is burgeoning right now. She’s a little too prominent now to be a second banana. I would imagine that whoever she’s playing might be might be similar in scale who Agatha was in WandaVision; someone significant enough to continue on in the…

It’s not the head of Warner Brothers. It’s the head of the CW. WBD and Paramount Global sold the CW. Warner Brothers and Paramount would both like the CW to order more of their shows. It’s not up to the production company to cancel a show. It’s up to the network that has ordered them.

I think people tend to forget that Marvel is not going to cast an actor as the lead of a Disney+ series when he is already the lead of a successful, full 22-episode broadcast series. That is a solid dealbreaker on a contractual level at the very least. Aside from that, Fillion is 51 years old. Not to be ageist, but,…

I’d go see it.

I don’t know that much about Dazzler, but I wonder if she is at the top of Kevin Feige’s list of characters to get a $200 million solo movie, Cameron Crowe notwithstanding. For what it’s worth, however, Dazzler did indeed make it to the screen if only for a minute or so in Dark Phoenix played by Halston Sage.

I think you are way underestimating just how long it takes to make either a Superman movie or a season of The Witcher. Both are pretty exhausting, and from what I have been able to gather, The Witcher can be particularly challenging. Cavill is obviously in great shape, but he is also 39, and aside from the physical tol…

I don’t know if it’s a “safe” bet, but I agree that there is a lot of love for Smollett, and a general sense that her career is on the rise. I think Birds of Prey, despite its misleading title, is one of the better and most underrated DCEU movies whose release so close to the pandemic shutdown muddled its commercial…

I wouldn’t argue with that —except for 2 glaring errors named Lex Luthor and Barry Allen. Just because Jesse Eisenberg was a “different” sort of Luthor didn’t make him a better one, and I thought Ezra Miller was a weird and irritating choice for Barry Allen even before the disturbing and allegedly felonious shitshow…

I don’t see how this isn’t good news. Doctor Who has been increasingly hampered in recent years by the BBC’s inscrutable production limitations by U.S.standards. It’s not just special effects, it’s actually getting the show filmed and broadcast in a timely manner. Disney/ABC has already been in business with BBC…

What would you expect from someone who doesn’t even know if the movie is going to happen. Every DC movie that is not yet actively filming yet is probably under review while James Gunn and Peter Safran decide exactly how they want to proceed.

It is so telling that Cavill used the word “Joyful” to describe what he expects to see for Superman’s appearances in the future. I don’t think he will ever speak poorly of Zack Snyder, who gave him the role after all, but he is acknowledging that Snyder’s material and conception of the character was way off-base.…

Is it because the BBC is run in such a bewildering, political way that we can’t just have Doctor Who back as a weekly series that runs at normal and predictable intervals? I am weary of hearing about how it’s coming back for “specials” sometime next year. It’s a great way for a long-running show, even one as beloved…

Black Adam isn’t bad enough to be horrible and not good enough to be really outstanding. There is always something inherently satisfying in seeing muscly people in shiny costumes fight and blow things up non-stop, so there’s that. One central flaw is fairly common to most of the DCEU’s lesser works in that the people…

I went to see Black Adam knowing that it is not very good, and also knowing exactly what the post-credit scene would be. What can I say? I like watching people in shiny costumes punch each other and blowing things up. Though my expectations were low —and not at all exceeded— I have to admit that I got an unexpected…

Clearly, DC/WBD has seen the reviews, and they re pulling every trick in the book to try to get people to see this movie. Someone thinks that the promise of Superman will nudge even a few more ticket buyers to to the box office, so spoilers be damned!

Let’s be serious. Anyone could be forgiven for forgetting what happened at the end of Revolutions. The first Matrix movie is a terrific movie, and the net two sequels have some great moments, but by the end of Revolutions, plot points get increasingly hazy to me. To me, Resurrections seemed like an entertaining…

a script to The Flash 2 has already been completed, if that film turns out to be a hit

Maybe it would have been nice to have an original story instead of rehashing the plot of Superman and Superman II. I am looking forward to seeing just a straight-up great, original Superman movie that stands on its own.

Very short run. I imagine that Ross will get permanently Red-Hulked up within a couple of movies, and Ford will be able to participate to whatever extent he wants to going forward. Of course, that leaves us with lots of questions like, where is Betty? Will Ty Burrell reappear with a green ponytail as Doc Sampson? Will…

Ham is 51, a couple of decades younger than Hurt was. Ford, however is 8 years older than Hurt, which makes no sense at all on a narrative level or on a logistical one.
