The character of Barry Allen will be introduced over the next two episodes of Arrow. Rather than introduce a fully-costumed Flash in episode 20 of Arrow as was previously planned, producers will instead create a stand-alone pilot for the character. The new show, if picked up for a series, will still take place in the same universe as Arrow.
Also for Arrow, actress Katrina Law (Spartacus: War of the Damned) will show up next year as Nyssa al Ghul.
Later in the season, Oliver gives up the green eye paint for a domino mask.
In last week's episode a character at the end was called Cyrus. As in Cyrus Gold. If you're unfamiliar with that name, google it to find out who he's more commonly know as...
Stan Lee is teaming with Avi Arad (involved in most Marvel films, shows and cartoons over the past two decades) to develop a film based on brand new character created by Lee. Color me intrigued.
Apparently not just content with The Walking Dead, AMC looks like it may be ordering a pilot based on the DC/Vertigo comic Preacher. Of all people, who may be involved? Seth Rogen. He tweets: "Looks like about seven of years of hard work are about to pay off. I may get to bring one of my favourite stories ever to life.""Arseface. John Wayne, The Saint of Killers."
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon will serve as producers on the movie adaption of Wildstorm and DC Comics' Sleeper. The story is set in a "noir universe where a few people are spontaneously developing superpowers. It follows Holden Carver, a man who can absorb pain and pass it on to others, as he infiltrates a criminal organization on behalf of a law enforcement agency. His allegiances come into question, especially when he falls for the alluring killer, Miss Misery." No director is attached yet.
Screenwriter David S. Goyer (Man of Steel, The Dark Knight) is said to be developing a movie based on Neil Gaiman's Sandman with support from comics writer Geoff Johns. More details as they develop.
Chris Cooper had this to say about Norman Osborn in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. "'Spider-Man 2′ was an introduction to Norman, and, you'll see, an extremely odd introduction, which apparently will lead to something more."
That, along with a sneak peek of the following poster, really makes me feel that the third or fourth films will involve some version of the Sinister Six.
I had figured Rhino might have been a cross-species in this film, but judging by that poster, it looks to be a robotic suit, perhaps inspired by the new Rhino that popped up in the comics a few years ago. And who's that up in the sky in the background...
The trailer for the movie drops next week on December 5th.
Some costume designs that were considered for the last film were recently revealed. They look cool in their own ways, but I'm glad they went the way they did. These all reflect a Spider-Man who can maybe afford more elaborate costumes than a rookie high school superhero could. Definitely feels like they were reading some 2099 when they came up with these though.
Sony Pictures Entertainment Co-Chairman Amy Pascal teased the studio's plans to make ample use of their stable of Spidey characters, saying: “We are going to access Marvel’s full world of Spider-Man characters, so be on the lookout for new heroes and villains."
Sony Pictures Entertainment chief Michael Lynton elaborated a bit: “We do very much have the ambition about creating a bigger universe around Spider-Man. There are a number of scripts in the worksâ€
