Rick Famuyiwa (Dope, The Wood, Brown Sugar, Our Family Wedding) has signed on with Warner Bros to direct the upcoming The Flash movie.
The report states:
“Warner Bros is looking for the right chemical mix on its superhero picture line based on the DC Comics heroes, and the feeling internally was that Famuyiwa provided a vision that would resonate with young viewers and that vision was very compatible with the script that the studio is moving toward the start gate with. That vision was executed to strong reviews in Dope, the 2015 film about a young geek trying to survive in a tough Los Angeles neighbourhood.”
Seth Grahame-Smith (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) wrote the script for the movie. He was also signed on to make his directorial debut with The Flash but left due to creative differences with the studio. It’s believed that Famuyiwa will use his script regardless.
The Flash movie is scheduled for released on March 16th, 2018.

Several new posters for the Suicide Squad movie have been revealed by Warner Bros. The posters include individual posters for Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Deadshot (Will Smith) and The Joker (Jared Leto), as well as a poster of the entire squad and a poster where The Joker is front and centre surrounded by images of the squad.
“It feels good to be bad…Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?”
The Suicide Squad movie is scheduled for release on August 5th, 2016.

Comic book icon Stan Lee has revealed that he is scheduled to film three of his marque cameo appearances in the Marvel movies during one short trip very soon.
However, Lee doesn’t know what movies the appearances are for and what his scenes will involve.
Stan stated:
“I’m going to…somewhere on the East Coast, Deleware or somewhere — where they’re shooting three cameos at one time,” Lee said, before adding, “I’ve got to be there either next week or the week after, and I’m going to do three cameos for three different movies. Now, I don’t know what the movies are. I don’t know what the cameos are, but I know I’ll damn well be there.”
Lee’s reveal came during his panel at MegaCon. You can watch a clip of his panel which includes the reveal below:
It’s speculated that the cameos Lee will be shooting are for Doctor Strange and Avengers: Infinity War Parts 1 & 2. Infinity War will be filming back to back which makes this plausible.

Last Sunday, The Big Bang Theory cast members Kunal Nayyar (Raj Koothrappali) and Melissa Rauch (Bernadette Rostenkowski-Wolowitz) attended MCM Comic Con in London. During their time at the event they took part in a panel.
During the panel Nayyar was asked if he believed a feature film of The Big Bang Theory was possible. He stated:
“It is a very difficult format to do for a movie because we shoot in front of a live studio audience with four cameras,” Nayyar explained, before expanding further, “So unless the movie was a two and half hour sitcom version of The Big Bang Theory I don’t think we could ever actually do a movie. We could do it on stage. I’ll tell you what, we’ll come here and we’ll recreate the movie of The Big Bang Theory for you guys next year.”
You can view a clip of his answer below:
A significant number of TV shows have had their time on the big screen as well. Sometimes this venture has been successful but recent examples yield mixed results. Recent examples include Jackass: The Movie (2002), Serenity (2005), The Simpsons Movie (2007), Sex and the City (2008), Hannah Montana: The Movie (2009), Sex and the City 2 (2010) and Entourage (2015).
The tenth season of The Big Bang Theory will air Monday’s on CBS and will begin airing later in the year.

Jeff Bridges (Iron Man, The Big Lebowski, Crazy Heart, True Grit) has been cast in Kingsman: The Golden Circle, the sequel to Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015).
The poster Bridges used to reveal his casting states:
“The only Golden Circle I want vexing me is the one my glass leaves behind on the table.”
The death of Leonard Snart (aka Captain Cold) on DC’s Legends of Tomorrow was met with disappointment by many viewers of the show. The character was a fan-favourite and one of the highlights was his budding friendship/relationship with Sara Lance/White Canary (played by Caity Lotz).
Speaking to Comicbook.com at the CW upfronts in New York City recently, Lotz revealed that she was also hoping to further explore the relationship. She stated:
“I was hoping to explore it more, for sure. It was very heart-breaking the way that it happened, which of course is good, too. I’ve been traveling and meeting a lot of fans, and everybody was so excited about the ‘Captain Canary’ stuff, so I hated the fact that it’s like, ‘well we’re gonna give it to you then take it away!’ It’s a cool dynamic together, and I love working with Wentworth, so I’m bummed.”
However, Lotz did tease that fans haven’t seen the last of Captain Cold on the show, saying:
“But we haven’t seen the last of him.”
It’s unknown if she means more brief appearances like in the season finale or larger roles again.
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow will begin airing its second season later in the year on The CW.
Thoughts on what Caity said? Were you a fan of Captain Cold and White Canary’s dynamic on DC’s Legends of Tomorrow?
