Lena Luthor Joins Supergirl Season 2

With yesterday’s set images revealing Luthor Corp, it’s now learned Supergirl Season 2 will feature Lena Luthor.

TV Line reports Katie McGrath (Dracula, Merlin, Jurassic World) will play the sister to Lex Luthor (who hasn’t been cast for Supergirl), with the character described as:

“Beautiful, powerful, and enigmatic, Lena arrives in National City on the heels of brother Lex’s incarceration hoping for a fresh start. Lena has taken over as CEO of her family’s billion-dollar-tech company, Luthor Corp, which has been tarnished by Lex’s evil infamy. Her goal? To re-brand the empire as a force for good. Lena wants to be seen as her own person, separate from her brother. Kara is drawn into Lena’s sphere and must determine if she is friend or foe.”

Supergirl Season 2 premiers this October on The CW also starring Melissa Benoist and Tyler Hoechlin as Superman.

Batman Vs. Superman Justice League Synopsis & Doomsday Featurette Released

A couple days ago saw new Doomsday concept art released, now check out a new Batman vs. Superman featurette about the Superman-killer.

WB has also updated the Batman Vs. Superman synopsis last month with the release of the Blu-Ray which includes mention of the Justice League characters:

Directed by Zack Snyder and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, the film is a follow up to 2013’s Man of Steel and is the second installment in the DC Extended Universe. It was written by Chris Terrio and David S. Goyer, and features an ensemble cast that includes Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne, Jeremy Irons, Holly Hunter and Gal Gadot. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is the first live-action film to feature Batman and Superman together, as well as the first live-action cinematic portrayal of Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash. In the film, criminal mastermind Lex Luthor manipulates Batman into a preemptive battle with Superman, whom Luthor is obsessed with defeating.

The general public is concerned over having Superman on their planet and letting the “Dark Knight” – Batman – pursue the streets of Gotham. While this is happening, a power-phobic Batman tries to attack Superman. Meanwhile Superman tries to settle on a decision, and Lex Luthor, the criminal mastermind and millionaire, tries to use his own advantages to fight the “Man of Steel”.

David Ayer Says “F Marvel” At Suicide Squad Premiere; Wants To Direct Superman

Update: David Ayer has apologized for his ant-Marvel remarks. 

Original story:

It’s definitely on!

At tonight’s premiere of Suicide Squad, director David Ayer took the stage and said, “F’ Marvel!”

Watch the video below.

David Ayer also told JoBlo that if given the chance, he wouldn’t mind taking on the Man of Steel.

If everything was on the table? I love Superman, I think Superman would be amazing. There’s so many; it’s such an insanely rich universe, there’s so much depth to it. You could literally open up the encyclopedia of characters and stab your finger at a page and you’d have an amazing character.

And his thoughts on Batman vs. Superman:

I liked it a lot. I love Zack; he is probably the biggest fan of DC Comics. He has an incredible passion in a very specific way, a specific take on it. He’s a smart guy, and I think he heard everybody, he heard them loud and clear, and you grow and you evolve. I thought it was a stunning movie, absolutely stunning. I wish I could get some of those shots in the can. The guy’s an amazing visualist. 

“Suicide Squad” has an August 5, 2016 release date directed by David Ayer starring Will Smith as Deadshot, Jared Leto as the Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Adam Beach as Slipknot, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Jay Hernandez as El Diablo, and Scott Eastwood in an unknown role.

Synopsis:

It feels good to be bad… Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Supervillains, 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?

Tyler Hoechlin Does Classic Superman Pose On Supergirl Set

Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s Tyler Hoechlin Superman!

Check out the latest set images out of Vancouver for new Superman Tyler Hoechlin in Supergirl Season 2.

Though Tyler Hoechlin has been catching some flak online for seemingly being a “skinny” version of Superman (I’ve never thought of Superman jacked myself), we see the the producers are taking a page out of the source material.

Check out Supergirl set images revealing Tyler Hoechlin as Clark Kent unbuttoning his shirt to change into the Man of Steel (something that hasn’t happened on the big screen with Henry Cavill).

According to the Canadagraphs Twitter account, these images are from the first episode of Supergirl Season 2.

It will also be interesting to see if they give Superman theme music on Supergirl.

The CW also starts re-aring Supergirl Season 1 today with double episodes.

Supergirl Season 2 premiers in October on The CW also starring Melissa Benoist.

Superman Henry Cavill Surprises Suicide Squad Cast At Comic-Con & Gets Justice League Pictures Taken

Superman Henry Cavill recently posted two videos on his Facebook page from Comic-Con.

The first video apparently shows Henry Cavill getting his picture taken for CG-work in Justice League (or a promo), which borrows a song from Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, perhaps signifying it’s cosmic-related.

“Heading home now…Thank you Comic Con. ‪#‎JusticeLeague‬ ‪#‎SDCC2016‬ ‪#‎BeamMeUp‬,” Cavill posted.

The second video sees Henry Cavill donning a V For Vendetta mask hitting the Comic-Con floor and surprising an unexpected Will Smith and the cast of Suicide Squad.

See below.

“Justice League” has a November 17, 2017 release directed by Zack Snyder starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon and Willem Dafoe as an Atlantean.

First Look At Tyler Hoechlin As Superman In Supergirl Season 2

Check out our first look at Tyler Hoechlin as Superman for Supergirl Season 2.

The image shows Tyler Hoechlin as the Man of Steel paired with his cousin, Kara Danvers, played by Melissa Benoist.

I know as of this past weekend’s Comic-Con that Tyler Hoechlin hadn’t tried on the Superman costume for Supergirl, so this may be more or less a promo shot. I guess it’s possible Hoechlin may have tested the Superman costume within the past few days and hence the picture.

Hoechlin also teased the Superman curl at the SDCC Supergirl panel for the crowd, which we don’t see in this pic as well.

Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman costume looks similar to the design of Supergirl’s, and we see that, similar to the Henry Cavill costume, it’s missing the classic red trunks.

Supergirl Season 2 airs starting in October on The CW.

Cool Henry Cavill Superman Justice League Fan Art

If(?) and when Henry Cavill comes back as Superman in Justice League, it’s possible he may be sporting a different look.

In the comics, Superman returns with a black suit with longer hair.

Check out cool fan art below featuring what Henry Cavill might look like in Justice League.

Zack Snyder wouldn’t even confirm that Superman is coming back in Justice League, but it’s probably safe to assume he does at some point, possibly in the film’s third act to save the day.

The Batman Vs. Superman Ultimate Edition also features a more graphic depiction of the Superman vs. Doomsday fight. Be sure to pick it up when it goes on sale tomorrow.

Roland Emmerich Slams Superman, DC & Marvel Movies Again

Once again, Independence Day director Roland Emmerich slams comic book movies with specific mention of DC, Marvel and Superman.

Emmerich goes so far as to claim the comic book movies have been ripping him off (via Loaded Online).

“I felt that when I saw some of these Marvel movies, or DC movies from Warners, I felt, ‘Oh my, God, that looks familiar to me. Why is Superman bashing so many buildings?'”

“I was actually warned already by Steven Spielberg that this will happen. He said Independence Day will be the most imitated film of the next 20 years, and he was right. Smart man.

Emmerich also is asked if he would be interested in directing a comic book movie and responds as follows:

“Very early in my career I was offered one or two of those, but it’s not my kind of film. I grew up in Germany and we weren’t big on superheroes to begin with. Actually, they didn’t work as well as everywhere else in the world. Only now they work very well. I just also felt that I wanted to make my own films. I pride myself to make originals. Even Independence Day: Resurgence is, I think, quite original for a sequel because it’s more the continuation of the story.”

Emmerich also previously said he doesn’t like capes.

Independence Day: Resurgence opened this week in theaters at #2 behind Finding Dory and is currently rated 34% on Rotten Tomatoes.

SyFy Krypton Casting Call Made Known

SyFy has green lit David Goyer’s Man of Steel prequel Krypton TV series, and now a casting call with character descriptions is made known.

TV Line has details for the following:

SEG-EL | Envisioned here as athletic, quietly confident and in his 20s, comic fans are familiar with an older (and a bit grumpier) Seg from his appearance in the classic Starman No. 51, written by James Robinson with story by Robinson and David S. Goyer, who is executive producer/writer of Krypton. But Seg’s a good guy at any age; in the comics, he and son Jor-El (Kal-El/Superman’s father) helped Starman get away while other Kryptonians wanted to detain – and dissect – the Earthling.

LYTA ZOD | This twentysomething beauty will likely have some familial tie to Superman’s future foe, General Zod, while she herself is a (reluctant) warrior.

VAL-EL | Seg’s genius grandpa defied death by going into the Phantom Zone, and is a staunch believer in space exploration. (We know that’s a lesson he’ll pass along to his great-grandson.)

Other characters include:

ALURA ZOD | Lyta’s mom happens to bear the same name as Kara Zor-El’s mother on Supergirl, while “Zod” always raises an eyebrow because of that whole “kneel before” thing.

DEV-EM | If anyone is going to survive Krypton’s inevitable fate, it’ll be this chiseled, twentysomething bad boy. In the comics, Dev escapes the doomed planet, abuses Superboy on Earth and eventually becomes an ally of the Legion of Super-Heroes… in the 30th century.

TER-EL | AKA Seg’s father. We didn’t get him to play Supergirl’s Man of Steel, but maybe Tom Welling (Smallville) could play Clark’s great-grandfather on Krypton?

About:

Krypton, the much-anticipated Superman prequel set two generations before the destruction of the legendary Man of Steel’s home planet. Krypton will follow Superman’s grandfather — whose House of El was ostracized and shamed — as he fights to redeem his family’s honor and save his beloved world from chaos.

New Justice League Details, Plot & Logo Revealed

We get some insights to the Justice League movie as various sites are reporting on their set visits from London.

WB also released the Justice League movie logo (pictured above).

Details about the Justice League movie include (via joblo):

Update: A Justice League scene description featuring Gordon, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash and Cyborg becomes known.

Update #2: A Batman and Flash scene description is released.

Update #3: Official Justice League synopsis revealed.

It will be lighter in tone than Batman Vs. Superman. It will be more fun and will focus on the building of the Justice League uniting against a common threat.

Justice League is said to have a strong Jack Kirby influence, with the story revolving around the pursuit of three Mother Boxes (device that created Cyborg in Batman Vs. Superman): one from Earth, one from Atlantis, and the third from The Amazons.

Justice League takes place months after Batman Vs. Superman, with Bruce Wayne heavily affected by the death of Superman. Batman seeks to honor Superman’s death by building the Justice League. It’s further said Batman is not as dark as he was in Batman Vs. Superman, but Batman is now full of hope and centered on uniting the Justice League to fight against common threats while at the same time redeeming mankind.

Superman’s return will be featured later in the movie, with a large part of the film dealing with Batman uniting the Justice League.

As seen in the Batman Vs. Superman Lex Luthor deleted scene, Steppenwolf will be a key villain, but it sounds like there will be others. Steppenwolf has yet to be cast. Lex may be involved with the Steppenwolf and Darkseid story.

Darkseid will be an influence in the movie, with the parademons scene in the Batman Vs. Superman Nightmare scene reappearing. It’s unknown how much of Darkseid will be in the movie.

Ben Affleck confirmed he is directing the solo Batman movie, but they are still getting the script right.

Affleck is said to be executive producing Justice League to oversee Batman.

Batman’s suit will get upgrades, and a new and improved version of the Armored Batman suit will reappear at the end of Justice League.

Bruce Wayne will build a Waynetech carrier, The Flying Fox, for the Justice League. Batman will also have a new vehicle, The Nightcrawler, which was designed by his father, Thomas Wayne (said to play a large role in an underground tunnel battle).

Willem Dafoe’s role is revealed, which is a mentor to Jason Momoa’s Aquaman named Vulko. It’s said Vulko is more of an early Atlantean as he has gils, meaning the Atlanteans adapted to breathing underwater at some point.

Amber Heard is playing Mera, described as a warrior and a sorceress.

JK Simmon’s Gordon looks pretty much like you expect (mustache, etc.).

The Flash will be comic relieve in Justice League. The Ezra Miller Flash costume will be initially made from spacesuit material held together by electrified wire. Waynetech will design a new costume for The Flash, seen by the end of the movie.

Ray Fisher’s Cyborg costume will be all CGI.

Junkie XL is returning to score Justice League. Some of Hans Zimmer’s previous music will be used.

Zack Snyder teases when – and if – we see the return of Superman, his hair may be a little longer (a nod to the death and return of Superman story from the DC Comics).

“Justice League” has a November 17, 2017 release directed by Zack Snyder starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon and Willem Dafoe as the Atlantean, Vulko.

Independence Day’s Roland Emmerich Slams Marvel Movies & Superman

Roland Emmerich, known for directing the Independence Day movies, White House Down and The Patriot, isn’t a big fan of superhero movies.

Actually, it doesn’t sounds as if Emmerich is a fan of them at all and specifically mentions Marvel.

“When you look at my movies it’s always the regular Joe Schmo that’s the unlikely hero. A lot of Marvel movies, they show people in funny suits running around,” Emmerich said, reports the UK’s Mirror.

Emmerich continues with what sounds like a dig on Superman as well.

I don’t like people in capes. I find it silly when someone dons a superhero suit and flies. I don’t understand it. I grew up in Germany, that’s probably why,” Emmerich said.

Roland Emmerich’s next movie, Independence Day: Resurgence, gets this released this Friday. It’s probably safe to assume a regular Joe Schmo saves the day in the film.

• Darkseid will still have a heavy presence in Justice League and will be the villain for Justice League 2.
• Bruce Wayne and Amanda Waller have different views about metahumans. Bruce believes they can do good while Waller believes they are a threat and should be contained.
• Batman will be the strategist of the team. Flash will be the sweeper. Cyborg will have a combination of long and short range attacks. Aquaman’s fighting style is straight up brutal.
• Green Lantern will appear at the end of Justice League.
• Joker and Black Mask will be the main two antagonist in the solo Batman film. Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon will appear.
• The following films are in development: Suicide Squad 2, Man of Steel 2, Birds of Prey, Crime Syndicate and New Gods. The Cyborg film has been cancelled

Watch: Jude Law Talks Turning Down Superman Returns

Prior to Brandon Routh landing the role of the Man of Steel in the 2006 Bryan Singer film, Jude Law was up for Superman Returns.

Jude Law recently appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert where he said things got so far as trying on the costume.

However, when he took a look in the mirror and realized he would be in costume as Superman, he decided it wasn’t for him.

Unfortunately, no image of Jude Law in the Superman costume exists.

Superman To Be Featured In Supergirl Season 2

I guess it works both ways…

With Superman dead in the DCEU, the Man of Steel will be introduced in Supergirl Season 2.

We’ve already seen glimpses of Superman in Supergirl, but it’s always been a blurred and real short appearance. Now THR reports The CW is currently casting a Superman different than Henry Cavill who will first appear in the first two episodes of Supergirl.

It’s further said Superman will first be seen visiting his cousin Kara (Melissa Benoist) in National City at the beginning of the series’ second season. 

“Greg [Berlanti], Ali [Adler] and I are beyond thrilled to welcome Clark Kent and his slightly-more-famous alter ego to the world of Supergirl,” executive producer Andrew Kreisberg said. “Superman will be appearing in the first two episodes of the new season and we cannot wait to see who next dons the red cape!”

I’m actually surprised WB is going ahead with this decision following the controversial casting of Ezra Miller as the DCEU Flash, as there has been lots of not only negative fan sentiments, but negative reaction from The CW actors as well. Don’t get me wrong, not that I think this is a bad thing at all. If anything, I am guessing Berlanti and Kreisberg’s version of Superman will come off a lot better than what Zack Snyder did with Superman in Man of Steel and Batman Vs. Superman. I’m also guessing The CW version of Superman will be a lot closer to the Christopher Reeve version, which all the fans know and love. Should be good. Glad they can at least get Superman right on TV.
