Tyrese May Have Confirmed Green Lantern

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21167:]]

Tyrese Gibson is back at it — teasing Green Lantern.

The latest from Gibson’s Instagram seems almost as if it’s a confirmation the actor will be playing Green Lantern.

“The oath has been taken,” Gibson posted.

A few months ago saw Tyrese Gibson tease involvement in Green Lantern as the actor posted numerous fan art images of himself as Green Lantern stating the “oath has been taken” as well. Gibson confirmed he wanted the role and that “seeds have been planted at Warner Bros.”

Now following the latest rumors that the rebooted Green Lantern will feature Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner and John Stewart, and that Chris Pine may play Jordan, Gibons also posted: “Shit got real.”

It’s speculated that the new Green Lantern(s) may be announced at the Batman Vs. Superman Comic-Con panel.

The new Green Lantern movie is due out in 2020.

Updated: with video talking Green Lantern with Entertainment Tonight.

Shit just got real – #doubleoath #doubletrouble #GreenLantern #WB #VoltronPictures

Michael Keaton to Star In and Produce “Imagine Agents” at Fox

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21123:]]

Award-winning publisher BOOM! Studios is excited to reveal that Michael Keaton (Birdman, Batman) will star in and produce a film adaptation at 20th Century Fox of the comic series Imagine Agents, created by Brian Joines.

Written by Brian Joines (Krampus) and illustrated by Bachan (Rocket Salvage), Imagine Agents is the story of two agents who work for clandestine organization I.M.A.G.I.N.E. to keep kids’ imaginary friends under control. Little do they know that an abandoned “friend” from long ago is about to disrupt the status quo and turn everything upside down. The series was published from October 2013 to January 2014, with a collected edition released in December 2014.

“Imagine Agents has been the most rewarding project I’ve worked on and the fact it’s going to be a movie with Michael Keaton, whose work had a huge impact on my teenaged years and indirectly played a role in my decision to become a writer, is just a mind-blowing continuation of that reward,” said Joines.

BOOM! has a first-look feature film deal at 20th Century Fox that includes first-dollar gross on films based on any of its comics, which the publisher splits with its creators.

BOOM! Studios Founder and Chief Executive Officer Ross Richie will produce the film with Keaton and Anonymous Content’s Michael Sugar. President of Development Stephen Christy will executive produce with Anonymous Content’s Eli Selden. Senior Vice President of Film Adam Yoelin will co-produce in cooperation with Anonymous Content’s Ashley Zalta.

Keaton, best known for his roles in Beetlejuice and Batman, is coming off his award-nominated performance as washed-up superhero actor Riggan Thomson in New Regency Pictures’ Birdman and is currently filming The Founder, a biopic about Ray Kroc, the founder of the McDonald’s fast-food chain.

Jesse Eisenberg Confirms He’ll Be at Comic-Con For Batman Vs. Superman (Video)

While obviously Jesse Eisenberg can’t say much about Batman Vs. Superman, the Lex Luthor actor does confirm an appearance at next month’s Comic-Con.

In the video above, Eisenberg states he will be at Comic-Con, and that: “I think we go in and out. There for the hour, and then I’m on the stage.”

It’s probably safe to assume with Eisenberg appearing at Comic-Con that Zack Snyder, Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot will be in attendance once again. It’s also possible Jason Momoa and the rest of the Batman Vs. Superman cast may be in attendance as well.

Last year saw Zack Snyder release the Batman Vs. Superman teaser with Affleck, Cavill and Gadot present.

Jesse Eisenberg also recently stated his Lex Luthor will be different than the Gene Hackman version.

The Batman Vs. Superman panel takes place Saturday night, July 11th in Hall H at Comic-Con, which runs July 8-12 in San Diego.

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21071:]]

“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” has a March 25, 2016 release starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Cyborg with Callan Mulvey, Holly Hunter and Tao Okamoto in new character roles for the film. Justice League is to follow directed by Zack Snyder as well.

Synopsis:

Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.

Paramount Skipping Comic-Con, Too

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21064:]]

In addition to Marvel Studios skipping out on Comic-Con, it’s become known Paramount will not be hosting a panel in Hall H as well.

The reason cited, according to THR, is that the studios decided the timing isn’t right for them when it comes to their upcoming releases.

Regarding Paramount, they have no new Transformers movie currently in the works and Star Trek 3 is yet to kick off, though they could have done something for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2; however, it’s still year out from the movie’s release. Terminator: Genisys also opens a week prior to Comic-Con, and the next Mission Impossible opens July 31st; so Paramount could have at least had something, but chose not to.

The same goes for Marvel, as Marvel could easily have done something for Ant-Man, which opens a week following Comic-Con, and Captain America: Civil War is currently filming; Doctor Strange is also in the works. It is being speculated Disney may be holding Marvel out for its own big announcement event, similar to last October’s Avengers: Infinity announcement.

While Marvel Studios and Paramount won’t be there, Warner Bros. will be there on Saturday night with their Batman Vs. Superman and Justice League panel.

In addition, Lionsgate announced they are bringing The Hunger Games and The Last Witch Hunter to the SDCC as well.

Disney has confirmed Star Wars for Friday, and Legendary and Fox Studios are expected to be there, with Sony putting up a Pride and Prejudice and Zombies panel through its Screen Gems label.

While Marvel Studios will not be attending, both Marvel Comics and Marvel TV (Agents Of SHIELD, Agent Carter) will be at the convention.

Comic-Con takes place July 8-12 in San Diego.

Marvel Movie News

No Marvel Studios Stated Again For Comic-Con; Batman Vs Superman May Be Big

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20905:]]

Confirming what James Gunn said back in March, now Deadline is stating that Marvel Studios will not have a presentation in Hall H at Comic-Con.

The report mentions that “Kevin Feige just doesn’t have anything new to show,” which is a rather odd statement as Marvel has Ant-Man opening the following week in addition to Marvel filming Captain America: Civil War and plans for Doctor Strange to be released in 2016, with filming to begin later this year.

There is also the fact that Marvel could have revealed their new Spider-Man at Comic-Con.

More than likely, Disney is holding back Marvel Studios from Comic-Con for either their own event, similar to the Avengers: Infinity War announcement with Black Panther at El Capitan theater from last year, or the Disney D23 Expo a month after Comic-Con in August.

It is noted that Marvel Studios’ absence will leave Warner Bros. with, potentially, a significant presence of its own as Batman Vs. Superman, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman and Justice League Part 1 are lined up. It’s possible Will Smith, Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto and others may be at Comic-Con representing the DC movies.

For Marvel fans, while Marvel Studios will not be at the SDCC, Marvel Comics will be there with a booth and panels of their own.

Comic-Con takes place July 9-12 in San Diego.

Doctor Strange Comic-Con Action Figure Set Revealed

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20876:]]

With Marvel Studios launching a Doctor Strange movie next year comes word of a Hasbro exclusive Comic-Con Doctor Strange Marvel Legends action figure set, which is actually based on the comics.

The set will be available at this Summer’s Comic-Con for $99.99 and available through the online Hasbro Shop for a limited time.

The set includes 6-inch figures for Doctor Strange in his blue astral form, Brother Voodoo, the mutant sorceress Magik, the Asgardian goddess of death Hela, Strange’s arch nemesis – and ruler of the Dark Dimension – the dreaded Dormammu, and a wearable Eye of Agamotto (via USA Today).

Last year’s Comic-Con saw Marvel Cosmic figures sold for Thanos Imperative and The Infinity Gauntlet, which now cost a pretty penny, so if you attend Comic-Con this year, the Doctor Strange set might be worth picking up if just for resale value alone.

Comic-Con runs July 8-12th.

Big Things Were Planned For Harley Quinn In Arrow

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20726:]]

What could have been…

Season 2 of Arrow featured a cameo by Harley Quinn played by Cassidy Alexa, with the deleted scene (watch below) featuring Tara Strong’s voice as well.

Now while appearing at the MCM London Comic-Con this weekend, Willa Holland, who plays Thea Queen, let it be known big things were planned for Harley Quinn in Arrow.

“We had big plans for Harley,” Willa Holland revealed, reports Flickering Myth. “But, I guess something came down from DC execs that told us to shut it down. I mean we had that tease with the pigtails and the ARGUS outfit but, we’ll never see it. We would love to [have] Harley in Arrow but it will never happen.”

Obviously, what came down was Harley Quinn being a member of David Ayer’s Suicide Squad movie, which is what happened with Arrow‘s version of Deadshot as well. Arrow EP Marc Guggenheim revealed a couple of months ago that Deadshot was off the table.

That’s not the only character the WB execs axed – originally, Brandon Routh’s Atom was going to be Blue Beetle, but WB said no to using Blue Beetle and suggested Atom.

It will be interesting to see what happens when The Flash movie gets going.
