It looks like that Supergirl TV show is indeed moving forward. I guess because they were feeling left out and wanted a comic inspired show of their own, CBS will be the home of the show and have given it a series commitment.
Heres the first look at Adrianne Palicki as Bobbi Morse (the future Mockingbird) on an upcoming episode of Agents of SHIELD.
On the upcoming Agent Carter, Shea Whigham (Boardwalk Empire, The Wolf of Wall Street), will play SSR Chief Roger Dooley, Peggy Carter's commanding officer. Also, Dominic Cooper will appear as Howard Stark, but most likely in a pop-up role instead of as a regular.
Earlier this year, New Line had appointed Dan Trachtenberg to direct a film based on Y: The Last Man. Well, Trachtenberg says that film is now dead and won’t happen. At least not his version. Since the movie won’t be made, the film rights have reverted back to the comics creators, Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra.
Director Andrew Adamson (Chroicles of Narnia) has signed on to adapt the Dark Horse miniseries Breath of Bones to film. The story is set during World War II and follows the events after a British plane crashes into a Jewish village. The crash brings the attention of Nazi soldiers, forcing the villagers to defend themselves, with one rabbi and his grandson building a Golem creature and bringing the great beast to life.
While it has yet to receive an official green light, Warner Bros wants David Ayer (Fury, End of Watch) to direct a potential Suicide Squad film.

X-Men: Days of Future Past hits DVD and Blu-Ray in a couple of weeks, but if you can wait until next summer, you can buy the ‘Rogue Cut’ which will have 10 extra minutes of footage including all the scenes of Anna Paquin as Rogue that were cut from the theatrical release.
X-Men screenwriter David Hayter (and superior Solid Snake voice actor, suck it Sutherland) said that in the early 2000s he had been commissioned by Marvel to write a script for a Black Widow movie. It was to use the backdrop of the splintered Soviet Empire and would’ve followed Widow’s early training in Russia. Once the Soviet Union fell, she would have moved to America and trained with her mentor Ivan Petrovich (the Crimson Dynamo). The film would’ve also featured big twists, the CIA and double agents. But due to the oversaturation of female lead action movies and failures of related films like Aeon Flux, the project was put on indefinite hold. A few years later, work began on a little film called Iron Man and the rest is history.
The first trailer for The Avengers: Age of Ultron is said to be attached to either Interstellar, Big Hero 6, or maybe both. Both films release on November 7th.
New trailer for
Big Hero 6. Tells more about the story than the last trailer. Think I’ll go see this.
Guardians of the Galaxy comes to DVD and Blu-Ray on December 9th.
For the past month or so, Marvel has been courting Joaquin Phoenix to play The Sorcerer Supreme in Doctor Strange. Phoenix, however, is unsure about committing to a multi-picture contract, all the green screen work that would be involved and a few other concerns. So moving on, it’s being reported that they’re now talking with their next choice, Ethan Hawke, and Hawke is up for the part. Since neither Marvel nor Hawke’s camp has confirmed or denied yet,
this is still firmly in the realm of RUMOR. Hawke worked with director Scott Derrickson before on Sinister, and if this turns out to be true, I say good casting choice.
I’ll end with this video that James Gunn shared of an
animatronic Rocket Raccoon that he found quite unsettling.
BONUS - Here’s an interesting
fan made Spawn short film. It starts out kinda slow, but towards the middle it gets pretty cool.
