Just Say No To New Warriors Comedy Series & Marvel TV

It’s being reported that Marvel TV and ABC Studios is developing a New Warriors TV show that will feature Squirrel Girl and will be a comedy.

According to TV Line, the New Warriors comedy TV show will be a half-hour project and is currently being shopped around to cable and streaming outlets.

The New Warriors comedy show is described as: the junior version of The Avengers, the New Warriors are a superhero squad made up of teenagers, one of whom would include Doreen Green (aka Squirrel Girl). For the record, Squirrel Girl can do more than just communicate with the world’s vast squirrel population; she also possesses super-speed and strength.

Cosmic Book News has to give a big thumbs down to this project as Richard Rider Nova was a member of the New Warriors.

It is not known if Nova will be a part of the New Warriors TV series.

As many of our regular readers know, our site launched as a result of the Marvel COSMIC Annihilation, Nova and Guardians of the Galaxy comics, the same comics that inspired and created Disney’s new billion dollar Guardians of the Galaxy franchise.

However, when it was learned that the Guardians of the Galaxy movie was getting made by Marvel Studios, the head honchos at Marvel Comics fired the creative teams on the comics and replaced them with — themselves. Head of Marvel TV Jeph Loeb took over and replaced Richard Rider Nova. Likewise, Brian Michael Bendis, a member of the Marvel Creative Committee that knew the movie was getting made, put himself on the Guardians of the Galaxy comics. Both of their comics have been failures, and honestly an insult to comic book fans everywhere — and especially the previous creators, fans and source material.

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has also recently distanced himself from both Jeph Loeb and Brian Michael Bendis. Marvel Studios has nothing to do with Loeb’s Marvel TV, and Feige fired the Marvel Creative Committee and Bendis from being involved with the movies.

The Marvel comics have been nothing but Loeb, Bendis and Joe Quesada’s breeding ground for Marvel TV, and they are using the comics to further their own agendas through other media outlets which have a much greater audience than the comics.

In addition, Marvel TV and Loeb cancelled the uber popular Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes animated series, and Loeb put his Nova in the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series. 

Marvel TV under Loeb is also responsible for the less than stellar Agents Of SHIELD and Agent Carter ABC series. Most recently saw the Agents Of SHIELD spinoff, Marvel’s Most Wanted, get axed. While the Marvel Netflix series do seem an improvement, the writing and the quality of the series must be questioned as they’re nowhere near as good as their movie counterparts or other comic series and similar genre series on television and cable networks (basically it’s just cool to see the characters on Netflix).

Marvel Comics, under Axel Alonso, Bendis and Quesada, is also failing as sales have been nose diving, and Marvel Comics is forced to relaunch their series seemingly every other year. 

We encourage fans to continue to stake a stance regarding how Jeph Loeb, Brian Michael Bendis and Joe Quesda treat the Marvel characters as well as the Marvel COSMIC characters. Fans have already successfully boycotted Loeb’s Nova Marvel comic, and the Bendis comic is now suffering a similar fate. Those same fans have also successfully gathered a petition to get Richard Rider in the MCU.

It is critical that you pay attention at this time: Don’t let them butcher any more Marvel characters.

DC Rumors: Green Lantern Sinestro Corps War, Man of Steel 2 & HBO TV Series

Following up on the last batch of DCEU rumors, which interestingly enough did list Doug Liman as directing a DC movie (but not Justice League Dark), now the latest rumors also include DC TV shows.

Worth a mention is that the rumors state WB may be eyeing more serious takes on DC TV characters akin to Game of Thrones with shows on HBO. It’s also said some of the new rumored TV series might tie into the DC movie universe as well.

Other rumors mention Zack Snyder off Justice League 2; Man of Steel 2 definitely happening and without Snyder; George Miller eyed for a Jack Kirby property (New Gods was previously rumored); Suicide Squad 2 in the works; the Green Lantern Corps movie would be based on Geoff Johns’ Sinestro War (would be awesome!), and lots more.

Obviously take these with a grain of salt as a reddit user put together the following list from 4Chan:

  1. Booster Gold is still in the works, treated more as a Deadpool February release film. No production date set.

  2. Lobo is currently up in the air, being eyed as a potential TV series set in the DCEU movie universe.

  3. Deathstroke no longer in the works. Ayer wanted to use him in Suicide Squad 2, will have an antagonist role.

  4. Metal Men being eyed as a start for animated DC movies. If Lego Batman is successful, Warner plans to push forward development and Warner Animation Group will create the movie.

  5. WB wants to make a few “in-universe” tv shows for the DCEU, multiple smaller teams and smaller characters being eyed. WB wants these shows to be “premium cable” type shows akin to Game Of Thrones

  6. Fables Movie adapt canceled. Currently being eyed as a television show, although worried it may draw the comparison from Once Upon a Time. Up in the air if it will happen or not.

  7. Sandman movie currently being developed. Giving it as much time as it needs to develop. Could very well be canceled. Joaquin Pheonix approached after Joseph Levitt left.

  8. Sam Raimi being courted to direct a DCEU movie.

  9. 100 bullets still in development, although will not at all be marketed as a comic-related movie. Will have the Vertigo banner, but will be along the lines of Kingsman. Was envisioned as a “Sin City” type film, but is currently now a singular story. Will focus on one man’s story with the gun, and have appearances throughout by the Minutemen and the Trust.

  10. The Question being developed for HBO as a smaller scale “gritty noir” show.

  11. Suicide Squad 2 production begins soon, Ayer started writing the script in July, expected to shoot late-spring 2017. Will reportedly be dialed back from SS1, with less CGI, a more human threat, and no pop music at all. Slightly lower budget.

  12. George Miller attracted to making a Jack Kirby property movie, working on Mad Max sequel in-between potential DCEU movie.

  13. Man of Steel 2 is happening, Snyder not returning to direct.

  14. Snyder no longer wants to return to direct JL 2, has opted out. Plans to direct a smaller scale movie for next project.

  15. Shazam to be a one-off movie unless it does extremely well.

  16. Cyborg currently up in the air. If he’s a breakout character in JL, he will get a movie, if not, it’ll be repurposed.

  17. Legion of Superheroes canceled. Deemed “too early” to be developed.

  18. Darkseid could potentially be saved for JL 3, having more background development in other movies for New Gods and Apokolips. New Gods property being heavily eyed as a film.

  19. Green Lantern Corps will be an adaptation of Sinestro Corps War. Will have Guy Gardener, John Stewart, and Hal Jordan as the only human lanterns. Red Lanterns won’t appear but will be teased.

  20. JSA was originally being worked on, expected to be teased in Wonder Woman with them being in WWI instead of WWII heroes. The idea was scrapped due to it not fitting the general plot of Wonder Woman. It was decided to relegate these characters to the CW shows.

  21. Scalped being worked on by WGN network. Was held up with Doug Jung working on Star Trek movie. Jung expected to show run the series. Geoff Johns wrote the pilot.

  22. WB wants to keep a 3-year release schedule with solo movies for A-listers . Wants to keep diversity in the lineup and keep filmgoers interested without being fatigued. On DC Animated movies, plans are to increase production to 4 movies per year. Doing “event” animated movies with a limited theater release ala Killing Joke will probably happen yearly.

  23. Old scripts being revitalized as animated movies might still happen. Batman Beyond script by Boaz Yakin has been floating around.

Tyler Hoechlin Superman Will Be More Classic Version

It’s probably safe to assume that the new Tyler Hoechlin Superman for Supergirl Season 2 won’t be snapping anyone’s neck, killing anybody or even meeting his maker.

Zack Snyder can have that for the DCEU.

Supergirl executive producer Andrew Kreiseberg fills in Collider what to expect from Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman. It’s learned they are going with a more classic route with the Man of Steel as their version is inspired by Christopher Reeve, Dean Cain and George Reeves and is more experienced than the Henry Cavill Big Blue.

I think our take on him is probably something a little bit more traditional. There’s certainly a little bit of the “Aw shucks” about him, but he’s been Superman for awhile, so there’s a savviness about him as Superman and as Clark. If he’s been Superman for 12 years, that also means that he’s been Clark Kent for 12 years. He knows how to interview somebody. He knows how to get a story out of someone.

As always, with any of these things, we’re never doing a direct adaptation of a specific comic book. We cherry pick the best parts and things that we love. So, there’s a little bit of the Christopher Reeve Superman in there, a healthy dose of the Superman animated series, which we’re huge fans of, a little bit of Lois & Clark, a little George Reeves, and a little Super Friends.

And as far as finding the right guy, as soon as we said we were going to do Superman, Greg [Berlanti] mentioned Tyler [Hoechlin]. We’ve been fans of his for years, and when we sat down with him, he is Superman. Not just with the looks, but he’s such a good guy, such a nice guy, and he’s so open and forthright and brimming with life. You just feel better when you’re around him, which I think is part of the secret of Superman. He is that ideal, but not in an unattainable way. Superman should make you feel like you can do anything, even though he’s the one that can do anything. And Tyler just had all that in spades. So, it was less a question of us reaching out. It was more a question of hoping he would say yes. After Tyler, I’m not sure what we would have done.

Regarding what happens between Supergirl and her cousin, Superman, Kreisberg offers:

That’s a lot of what’s happening in those first episodes. Kara is caught a little bit in the middle between Clark, who’s her family, and Alex, J’onn, Winn and James, which is this amazing family that she’s made for herself. There’s definitely conflict that arises that puts Kara squarely in the middle, which we’re excited about.

Todd Lasance Cast As The Rival In Flash Season 3

Earlier saw it mistakenly reported that Todd Lasance was cast as Savitar in The Flash Season 3, but now the actual character is made known.

TV Line reports Vampire Diaries‘ Todd Lasance has been cast as The Rival.

Savitar has yet to be cast.

The Rival, in the comics, is primarily a Jay Garrick Flash foe who created a formula to give himself super speed and ended up disappearing into the Speed Force and at times reappearing.

Regarding Savitar, co-showrunner Todd Helbing offered about the character: “Savitar in Hindu means ‘the god of speed,’ and he has this sort of cult-like essence, where he’s sort of like the speed god. But everything about him is different than Zoom or Reverse-Flash. I can’t go into too much detail, but he’s quite a bit different.”

In addition to The Rival and Savitar, other Flash Season 3 baddies include Mirror Master (played by True Blood‘s Grey Damon), Dr. Alchemy (yet to be cast) and Gorilla Grodd.

Young Justice Season 3 Meeting Said To Have Taken Place, But Not With Peter David

A couple of days ago saw news hit that Peter David was approached by Netflix for Young Justice Season 3.

Cosmic Book News reported on it, which went viral, reaching over half a million people on our social networks alone.

It’s safe to say that a lot of fans want a Young Justice Season 3.

Following our reporting on the subject, Young Justice creator Greg Weisman tweeted out it’s not true, and that Peter David was misquoted, which Peter David followed up with a tweet of his own.

Now Peter David has taken to his blog to post about the mix-up noting he had lunch with Greg Weisman a few weeks ago — not with Netflix. It’s possible the fan may have mixed up mention of Greg Weisman as being an official representative of Netflix.

Here’s what Peter David had to say on the matter:

“Mr. David, what are the chances of ‘Young Justice’ getting a third season?”

“Well, I had lunch with Greg Weisman a few weeks ago, and he said that Netflix is seriously considering ordering a third season because they’re impressed with how much people are watching it. So if you want to make it happen, keep on doing that.”

That’s what I’ve been saying for the past month, countless times, ever since I had lunch with Greg before San Diego. Seems pretty straightforward.

And suddenly I’ve been getting barraged with tweets and emails from fans asking me if it’s true that I’ve had a meeting with Netflix about writing the third season. Why? Because someone asked me the question at the recent Terrificon in Connecticut and, rather than report the answer I’ve given at least a hundred times, he instead provided his own version. I’ve no doubt it was an innocent mistake, but it’s caused a MAJOR headache for me.

Furthermore I’m now worried it could do damage to the cause, because people might think, “We did it! There’s gonna be a third season, done deal!” and then stop watching. Which would then cause Netflix to say, “Hunh, people have stopped watching, guess it was just a passing fad,” and that’s that.

So I will say it once more: It is NOT a done deal. So continue watching “Young Justice” if you want to have a hope of a third season.

PAD

Obviously there seems to be confusion regarding who said what, but what holds true is that Young Justice Season 3 is not green lit and to continue watching season 1 and 2 on Netflix.

Interestingly enough, one of Greg Weisman’s tweets did confirm some sort of meeting did take place with Netflix about Young Justice Season 3, which may be where the mix-up occurred (and not with Peter David’s involvement).

Jason Momoa Teases Return To Game Of Thrones

Will Khal Drago be returning to Game Of Thrones?

Jason Momoa, the actor that played the role, may have teased a return to Game Of Thrones on Instagram.

Momoa posted two photos on Instagram while visiting Ireland and included “ALOHA DROGO.”

In addition, one of the photos features Jason Momoa with Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss leading to speculation of a Khal Drago return.

Last we saw of the Dothraki chieftain was in a vision scene during Game of Thrones Season 2. It’s possible Jason Momoa could be involved in a similar scene for Season 7 or just maybe he’ll return to life (Jon Snow came back).

Of course as Jason Momoa is filming Justice League in the UK, he could simply be visiting his old pals; Game of Thrones films in Northern Ireland.

The Flash Season 3 Casts Savitar

Update #2: Todd Lasance has been cast as The Rival.

Update: Producer Greg Berlanti has said they have not cast Savitar and the source of the article has removed the reference.

Original article:

Comic-Con saw two villains revealed for The Flash Season 3 with Dr. Alchemy and a new speedster Savitar.

Now it’s announced who will play Savitar, with Dr. Alchemy planned to be announced at a later date (as of right now he is being voiced by Tobin Bell, the man behind Saw villain Jigsaw).

THR reports Savitar is being played by Vampire Diaries‘ Todd Lasance.

It’s also confirmed The Flash Season 3 photos of the black-suited speedster are of Lasance as Savitar.

In the comics, Savitar is a former Eastern Bloc military pilot who adopts the name Savitar after the Hindu god of motion when his plane is struck down by lightning, thought to be the speed force. Savitar realizes he has super speed and becomes obsessed with knowing everything he can about the speed force, which includes attempting to steal other speedster’s speed, and he even forms a cult.

Another baddie confirmed for The Flash Season 3 is Gorilla Grodd.

“The Flash” returns for Season 3 on Tuesday, October 4th at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.

Update #2: Peter David says he did not have a meeting with Netflix; however WB and Netflix have talked about Young Justice Season 3.

Update #1: Peter David is stating he’s been misquoted; however, the redditor is still stating, “He told me he met with Netflix.”

Original article:

Young Justice Season 3 On Netflix looks closer than ever to becoming a reality.

Following Young Justice creator Greg Weisman offering Season 3 is a real possibility, now Peter David, a writer on the series, offers he was approached by Netflix.

A redditor spoke with Peter David at Connecticut’s TerrificCon Comic-Con about Young Justice Season 3.

Peter David told the fan that Young Justice was in fact cancelled due to poor toy sales, and echoed Weiseman statement’s that Young Justice wasn’t cancelled because of poor quality or the lack of an audience.

Weisman previously said to keep watching Young Justice in order to get the series green lit by Netflix. Peter David says more of the same in that after seeing the large increase of views for Young Justice Season 1 and 2, Netflix approached him for a Young Justice Season 3 not long ago. Peter David also said he is hoping for more seasons of Young Justice.

Netflix has yet to announce or confirm Young Justice Season 3, with the fan noting Peter David did not mention if there will be a confirmation or go into specifics.

As noted, with affirmation that Netflix is definitely watching the numbers and also coupled with the fact Peter David has been approached, Young Justice Season 3 looks to be in the works or at the very least being talked about; so it’s probably a good idea to keep watching the series on Netflix.

In addition to Young Justice, Peter David is known for writing Marvel and DC comics as well as episodes of Ben 10, numerous novels and more.

Young Justice aired for two seasons on Cartoon Network from 2010 to 2013.

DC’s Powerless Loses Showrunner

It’s reported just two weeks prior to filming, the new NBC DC comedy series, Powerless, has lost its showrunner.

Deadline cites creative differences as the reason for creator/executive producer and showrunner Ben Queen exiting Powerless.

It’s said the start of production on Powerless has been postponed while a search is underway for a new showrunner. It’s noted the delay will not impact the premiere of Powerless at NBC, which is due to debut mid-season.

The Powerless pilot has already been shot and a teaser has already been released.

Powerless stars Vanessa Hudgens as the main character Emily Locke; Danny Pudi as Teddy; Alan Tudyk as Del, Ron Funches as Ron, and Christina Kirk as Jackie.

Synopsis:

In the first comedy series set in the universe of DC Comics, Vanessa Hudgens (“Grease Live,” “High School Musical”) plays Emily, a spunky young insurance adjuster specializing in regular-people coverage against damage caused by the crime-fighting superheroes. It’s when she stands up to one of these larger-than-life figures (after an epic battle messes with her commute) that she accidentally becomes a cult “hero” in her own right … even if it’s just to her group of lovably quirky co-workers. Now, while she navigates her normal, everyday life against an explosive backdrop, Emily might just discover that being a hero doesn’t always require superpowers.

Gorilla Grodd Confirmed For The Flash Season 3

Gorilla Grodd will be back for The Flash Season 3.

At the recent Television Critics Association press tour, producer Andrew Kreisberg teased the return of Gorilla Grodd with a multi-episode arc this coming season on The Flash.

“Yes. We’re going to be doing a two-part episode that takes place in Gorilla City,” Kreisberg said.

Last we saw of Gorilla Grodd, he was tricked into going through the Earth-2 portal leading to Gorilla City in which Wells explained that it was the settlement of other apes who also had been the subjects of scientific experiments. With Gorilla City confirmed for The Flash Season 3, it looks as if we haven’t seen the last of Earth-2.

“The Flash” Season 3 premiers Tuesday, October 4th on The CW starring Grant Gustin.

American Horror Story Season 6 Teases Alien Abduction

FX has released another teaser for American Horror Story Season 6.

The teaser, titled “Camp Sight,” shows a woman seemingly being abducted by aliens, but then something really nasty happens next!

Bear in mind that the president of FX recently stated they are intentionally misleading viewers by putting out fake teasers to throw them off from knowing the plot, so this could be another ruse.

However, American Horror Story Season 6 set images did reveal a lost colony, so maybe the aliens are responsible? Aliens were also featured in previous seasons of American Horror Story, with “Asylum” specifically coming to mind.

“American Horror Story” Season 6 premiers Wednesday, September 14th at 10 p.m. ET on FX.
