A blockbuster with more studio notes than script (underlined: “Be more Marvel”), Justice League attempts to inject some levity and rock ’n’ roll into Zack Snyder’s dinosaurian version of the DC Comics-verse; in many cases, it ends up with the worst of multiple worlds. Gone are the artistic pretensions and doofy…
The members of the DC Extended Universe’s Justice League took a literal victory lap around Comic-Con’s Hall H today, as Ben Affleck, Ezra Miller, Gal Gadot, Ray Fisher, and Jason Momoa all walked through the crowd greeting fans who had gathered to watch them discuss their double lives as onscreen superheroes.

Who he is: The Flash, a.k.a. Barry Allen
Back in November, shortly after a second director dropped out of Warner Bros.’ The Flash movie, star Ezra Miller expressed a little disappointment that the movie was having so much trouble getting off the ground. Mostly, though, he wanted to let people know that The Flash‘s behind-the-scenes shake-ups weren’t as…
In what could be a fun nod to the days when Superman fought Muhammad Ali in the comics, actual fastest man alive Usain Bolt wants to meet fiction’s fastest man alive in Warner Bros.’ upcoming Flash movie. Bolt offered that suggestion in an interview with MTV International, answering a question about superhero movies…
Back in 2014, we reported that Wolf Of Wall Street buddies Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill were set to reunite for a biopic about Richard Jewell, the security guard who was falsely accused of planting a bomb at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. Now, it looks like that project is moving once again, with …
Of all the superheroes out there, being the Flash seems like it would be the most fun. He can do everything really fast, his backstory isn’t quite as tragic as some of his contemporaries, and most of his regular villains are more like super-powered thugs than genocidal maniacs. Unfortunately, Ezra Miller—the DC movie…
The latest—and most extensive so far—look at the Harry Potter prequel Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them dives into Newt Scamander’s (Eddie Redmayne) briefcase, a world filled with creatures majestic, fearsome, and cute. That little green twig dude is especially sweet-looking. Well, if we want to get technical,…
Variety’s reporting that Billy Crudup is in talks to star in The Flash movie. If that’s true, it will be familiar territory for Crudup: Not only will he be working with Warner Bros.—the studio behind 2009’s Watchmen adaptation—again, but he’ll get to play another doctor. According to the publication’s sources, Crudup…
Suicide Squad is something of a B-team affair for the DC Universe, given that it features bunch of baddies teaming up to fight someone even worse. But the movie does—sparingly—feature two marquee names: Batman and The Flash. At this point, it’s no surprise that they show up, but what are they there to do? Well, we can…
Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them star Eddie Redmayne went on a charm offensive at today’s Comic-Con, kicking off his new movie’s portion of the Warner Bros. panel by making like Wizard Oprah and handing out wands to everybody in the crowd. Then he led the audience in a rousing cry of “Lumos Maxima,” serving the…
Today, Comic-Con attendees got their first surprise glimpse of Zack Snyder’s long-in-the-works Justice League, as the director showed off an intro reel showing Ben Affleck’s Batman and Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman assembling a team of superpowered individuals. That includes Ray Fisher’s Cyborg, Jason Momoa’s Aquaman, and…
As we reported earlier this summer, Dope director Rick Famuyiwa has replaced Seth-Grahame Smith as director of DC’s The Flash (Smith dropped out due to Hollywood’s favorite ambiguous reason to leave a project, “creative differences”). Now, Variety reports that Famuyiwa might be reuniting with Dope star Kiersey…
As the lucky souls who survived watching Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Martha may recall, a small part of the plot that had little bearing on anything else involved Wonder Woman trying to steal a file from Lex Luthor’s computer system. She wanted the file because it contained a photo of her and the supporting cast from…
Because he could probably use a different kind of cheering up, Colin Farrell has signed on to J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter spin-off, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Farrell will play Graves, a wizard who meets magizoologist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) in New York as…
Ezra Miller, the guy we need to talk about when We Need To Talk About Kevin, is apparently in talks to appear opposite Eddie Redmayne in Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, the upcoming spinoff to Warner Bros. and J.K. Rowling’s magically profitable Harry Potter franchise. If all goes as planned, Miller will play…
