Tom Cavanagh Teases He’s Zoom For The Flash Season 3?

Will the man with the yellow suit become the man with the black suit in The Flash Season 3?

Tom Cavanagh played the Reverse Flash in Season 1, and now it’s possible he may be suiting up as a version of Zoom for The Flash Season 3.

Cavanagh posted the following image of Zoom on his Instagram account teasing, “Looking for work,” and included hashtags for The Flash and Zoom.

It’s possible due to the events in The Flash Season 2 finale that the timeline is all messed up. Perhaps Barry never opened the portal to Earth-2? Maybe a different Earth where Cavanagh’s character is actually Zoom?

Many fans think The Flash Season 3 will be a version of The Flashpoint Paradox from the comics. More than a few are also hoping it affects Arrow Season 5 as well. We can also throw in DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow and Supergirl.

 

Looking for work. #Zoom #theFlash

Born on the doomed planet Krypton, Kara Zor-El escaped at the same time as her cousin, Superman, but didn’t arrive on Earth until years later after being lost in the Phantom Zone. Raised by her adopted family, the Danvers, Kara grew up in the shadow of her foster sister, Alex, and learned to hide the phenomenal powers she shares with her famous cousin. Years later, at age 24, and now living in National City while working as an assistant for Catco Worldwide Media mogul Cat Grant, Kara has spent so many years trying to fit in that she forgot to ever stand out. All that changes when she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and become the hero she was always destined to be. With the help of Daily Planet photographer James Olsen, her bioengineer sister Alex, and the research of the super-secret, off-the-grid Department of Extra-Normal Operations (DEO), who are tasked with keeping the Earth safe from aliens, Kara takes to the skies to protect her world.

First Look At Legion TV Series

Marvel revealed a first look at Dan Stevens as David Haller in the FX Legion TV series.

The 8-episode first season will premiere in 2017.

Info:

FX Networks has ordered the first season of “Legion,” the story of a troubled young man who may be more than human, it was announced today by Nick Grad and Eric Schrier, Presidents of Original Programming, FX Networks and FX Productions. Production on the eight-episode first season will begin this summer in Vancouver and the new series from FX Productions and Marvel Television will debut on FX in early 2017.

“We’ve come to expect excellence from Noah Hawley and with ‘Legion’ he has delivered another major creative achievement,” said Grad. “Just as he did in reimagining ‘Fargo,’ he is bringing an entirely new aesthetic and sensibility to the enormously popular and richly represented X-Men world. The pilot episode is stunning, driven by incredible performances from Dan Stevens, Aubrey Plaza, Jean Smart, Rachel Keller and the rest of the cast. We join our producing partners at Marvel in congratulating the creative team for what they’ve accomplished and are as excited as the fans for the premiere of ‘Legion’s’ first season.”

“Marvel Television is thrilled to not only have our first partnership with FX go to series, but working with the enormously talented Noah Hawley makes it even better,” said Executive Producer and Head of Marvel TV, Jeph Loeb, “From the first time we heard Noah’s vision to his exceptional script and cast through the extraordinary filming of the pilot, we knew the series would  be incredible.”

“Legion” introduces the story of David Haller: Since he was a teenager, David has struggled with mental illness. Diagnosed as schizophrenic, David has been in and out of psychiatric hospitals for years. But after a strange encounter with a fellow patient, he’s confronted with the possibility that the voices he hears and the visions he sees might be real.

Dan Stevens (“The Guest”), Rachel Keller (“Fargo”), Aubrey Plaza (“Parks and Recreation”) and Jean Smart (“Fargo”) star in “Legion.”

Noah Hawley (“Fargo”) will serve as an Executive Producer along with Lauren Shuler Donner (“X-Men: Days of Future Past,” “The Wolverine”), Bryan Singer (“X-Men: Days of Future Past,” “Superman Returns”), Simon Kinberg (“X-Men: Days of Future Past,” “The Martian”), Jeph Loeb (“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” “Marvel’s Daredevil,” “Marvel’s Jessica Jones”), Jim Chory (“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” “Marvel’s Daredevil,” “Marvel’s Jessica Jones”) and John Cameron (“Fargo,” “The Big Lebowski”). “Legion” is the latest project from Hawley and Cameron, two of the Executive Producers of the Emmy® and Golden Globe® -winning FX limited series “Fargo.”

“Legion” will be produced by FX Productions and Marvel Television, with FXP handling the physical production.

Stephen Amell Hints Green Arrow Is Headed To The DC Movie Universe Minus Him

Will see see a different Green Arrow in the DCEU than on TV?

It’s definitely possible, especially considering Zack Snyder cast a different actor for the Justice League movie Flash.

And it’s already known the Arrow Suicide Squad characters, and most likely Black Canary, were killed off to pave way for the characters to appear in the DC movies.

Now while appearing on Larry King, Arrow star Stephen Amell seemingly hints the same path might be set for his character as well. 

Stephen Amell makes it known there are no present plans for Green Arrow in the DC movie universe, but says if there were, they probably wouldn’t include him. Amell then makes note “but things change,” which obviously suggests Green Arrow may eventually appear on the silver screen at some point minus his involvement.

Watch the video below for yourself especially paying attention to that last remark, “but things change,” that comes of rather skeptical.

Here’s the text:

“Well, I mean it has become easier to take properties on television and turn them into films, but I don’t know, those are things that exist out…” Amell said, with Larry King interrupting that Grant Gustin wasn’t cast as the movie Flash.

“No. The cinematic universe and the television universe are separate,” Amell responded.

Larry King then remarked that Amell might not be cast if there was a movie.

“I might not be. I’ve spoken with people within DC, and they said there’s no plan to bring the Green Arrow character to the cinematic universe,’  Amell said, and then added, with a seemingly skeptical, “But things change.”

It should be noted Arrow is returning for a Season 5, so it’s not like the series is getting cancelled. Similar to The Flash TV series, it’s possible both the TV and movie versions could run concurrently; however, would Stephen Amell be down with that and another actor playing the role of Oliver Queen and Green Arrow?

Stephen Amell Responds To Being Called An F’n Idiot Over Arrow Season 4

It might be a good thing that Memorial Day weekend is here, so we can all have a few Stone Colds and let loose some steam.

This past week has seen the internet become a powder keg due to various events, including Captain America and even the Arrow Season 4 finale, which saw Oliver’s friends leave except for Felicity, who many fans can’t stand (it probably didn’t help that Felicity “told the fans” she isn’t going anywhere).

A fan took to Stephen Amell’s Facebook page to blast the actor for reported hypocritical remarks, which has caused Amell to respond.

Amell’s remarks/meme:

The fan’s response to those remarks:

Amell with all due respect this is hypocritical and asinine at it’s best, I’ve watched Arrow since it’s pilot, watched countless reruns on Netflix and have defended the show when nobody or very few of the fans would, then you say the ONE thing that’s killed this show and that the ONE thing fans have hated since S3 we have to LIKE in order to be fans of the show? Or just to watch Arrow? Sorry Sir but you’re a f–king idiot

Stephen Amell’s response:

I disagree. For starters, I wasn’t responding to the dislike of one particular thing on the show. I was discussing one platform and how anonymity makes people cyber brave. You don’t have to like or dislike any one thing to be a fan of the show. But some of the criticism and vitriol towards fictional characters and the actual people who play them is comically outsized. I do enjoy an apology though before being called a fucking idiot. And because you put your name on it… I give it serious consideration. Hope you can see my comments in the broader context Jacob.

First Look At The Flash Season 2 Finale Spoilers With Comments

Spoilers follow for the Season 2 finale of The Flash.

 

Anybody see that coming?

While many guessed the identity of the man in the iron mask, I bet many of you (me included!) didn’t forsee what happened at the end with Barry time travelling.

It seems The Flash created the Flashpoint Paradox!

The man in the iron mask is revealed to be none other than the real Jay Garrick (Zoom just borrowed his name for a time) from Earth-3, played by John Wesley Shipp. We see John Wesley Shipp as the Jay Garrick Flash — helmet and all! I thought it was great!

EW.com revealed first look images as well as an interview with Shipp, and the good news is this isn’t the last we have seen of Garrick. Shipp confirms in the interview he will be back for The Flash Season 3:

Yes. I’ve been given permission to say that yes, they have all kinds of exciting and interesting plans for me, that are interesting not only in the context of the storyline, but they continue to spin out, which will be very challenging for me as an actor. That’s all I’m allowed to say about that. But yes, I will be back next season.

Shipp also comments on Barry going back in time and saving his mother. What would Henry Allen think about that? Turns out, we already know the answer:

We know already, don’t we? Henry has already said unequivocally when Barry came to Iron Heights to say, “I can save her, I can get you out of here.” I go, “No, absolutely not. Things happen for a reason. There are unintended consequences, Barry. You cannot go and change one thing without it having myriad unintended affects.” Henry Allen was very clear with Barry back in Iron Heights that he should not go back and — excuse my French — f— with the timeline. You cannot do that. It’s one of the reasons why Barry, the first time around, stopped himself from stopping the Reverse-Flash from killing his mother. Now he’s decided, “What do I have left to lose? I’ve lost everything? I’ve lost my father. I’ve lost my mother. Screw it. What else can go wrong?” So he decides to go back and do what Henry had advised him not to do.

John Wesley Shipp is also asked how Barry changing things will affect the show, but Shipp remains coy:

That’s going to be very interesting to find out, isn’t it? That is the exact question that we want left in the minds of our audience members when the curtain comes down on our finale. [Laughs.]

Here are the first look images of John Wesley Shipp as Jay Garrick (glad he’s back! I was pretty upset last week!):

No Alan Scott Green Lantern For DC TV Universe

It’s learned – again – that Green Lantern won’t be appearing any time in the DC TV Universe.

Prior to Thursday’s episode of DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow, it was thought that possibly the surprise character reveal at the end was Alan Scott Green Lantern; however, EP Marc Guggenheim shot that down and notes the character is attached to the films.

“I’ll tell you right now, because I never want anyone to be disappointed, he’s not Alan Scott,” Guggenheim told CBR. “I love Alan Scott. I’ve written Alan Scott in the comics. Alan Scott is also attached to the Green Lantern franchise, which DC obviously has feature plans for. In the poll of ‘who it’s going to be,’ you can cross off Alan Scott.”

It’s been speculated Green Lantern has been wanted for DC TV due to the many Easter Eggs found in the various series, with one even going so far to describe a certain pilot. I do think this season has seen the Green Lantern Easter Eggs subside, obviously due to the Green Lantern Corps and Justice League movies. We already know WB put the kibosh on using Suicide Squad for Arrow, Blue Beetle, and it’s probably a safe bet that Black Canary was killed off to make way for the character to appear in the DCEU. More than likely, WB doesn’t want another controversy similar to Grant Gustin and Ezra Miller as The Flash, so no characters will be shared.

Watch: DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Season Finale Final Scene Spoiler & Season 2 Details

Spoilers follow for the season finale of DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow.

 

Tonight’s episode saw the team come out on top as they managed to finally kill Vandal Savage, and then at the end we were treated to a couple of big surprises.

The first is that both Hawkman and Hawkgirl decided not to rejoin the team as time cops. After 4000 years of not being allowed to be together, now with Vandal dead, they can have a life to themselves. Off they flew (and won’t be a part of Season 2). 

The second was the big reveal at the end (watch below) with none other than Rex Tyler, Hourman. A second Waverider ship from the future finds the team with Hourman revealing he was sent back in time by Mick to warn the team not to board their Waverider as they all die.

Hourman also tells them team he’s from the Justice Society of America.

Check out the scene below.

Executive producer Marc Guggenheim also had this to say about Season 2 (via THR):

With his final words in the finale, he planted a pretty deep flag about where we’re headed in season two, which is not just introducing Hourman but introducing his teammates in the Justice Society of America,” executive producer Marc Guggenheim tells The Hollywood Reporter. “For comic book fans, everyone knows the Justice Society is really the precursor to the Justice League, so it’s a pretty big move in our DC universe here on TV.”

“One of the other big things we’ve done in the season finale is we planted another flag in the form of Rip’s [Arthur Darvil] statement. Because the Time Masters are essentially gone and the Legends have destroyed the Oculus, that all means that someone else has to do the job of the Time Masters,” Guggenheim says. “Our Legends take that on as their new responsibility. It’s sort of like, you break it, you buy it.”

“The season two big bad is actually not going to be the [alien race of] Thanagarians,” Guggenheim says. “It’s going to be something else entirely. All I’ll really say about the nemesis in season two is Vandal Savage looks like a walk in the park compared to what the Legends will be facing. This will be a much, much bigger threat. I’m going to leave it at that because when we do reveal it, it’s going to be pretty big. People will be asking, ‘Vandal who?’ once they get the full picture of what our team is up against. It’s going to be way bigger than what you can even imagine, I can guarantee it.”

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.

The cast includes Vanessa Hudgens, Alan Tudyk, Danny Pudi and Christina Kirk.

Ben Queen serves as writer and executive producer. Director Michael Patrick Jann (pilot) also executive produces. “Powerless” is produced by Warner Bros. Television and based on the characters from DC Comics.

SyFy Debuts Krypton Teaser Trailer

SyFy debuted a new teaser trailer for their upcoming Superman prequel Krypton series.

While no footage has made its way online as of yet, IGN provided a description from NBC Universal’s upfronts.

The Krypton teaser begins in space with a voice over asking, “What remains when a civilization dies?” It’s then revealed the footage is shown flying through the destruction of Krypton with green rocks flying by as well. The voice over then states, “This is not the story of how our world died. This is the story of how we lived.” Scenes are then showed on Krypton, which resembled those from the beginning of Man of Steel.

Krypton is 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.

Note: I’m not totally sure if this is set in the world of the DC movies or just inspired by it, though a while back Goyer did state it was and is set 200 years prior to the events from Man of Steel. If the latter is the case, then Krypton would be the first DC TV series to connect to the movies.

I Hated The Flash “Invincible” Ending

Ughh!

Were we watching Man of Steel or Batman Vs. Superman tonight?

The Flash happens to be my favorite show (or was?) on television right now. It’s funny, it’s bright, it’s colorful — it’s a superhero show.

However, all that went down the drain as the end of “Invincible” saw the “D” in “DC” become depression.

Spoilers follow.

Just when Barry gets his dad back, DC takes him away, and I think it’s safe to say that John Wesley Shipp has fast become a fan-favorite character on The Flash, playing Henry Allen. This episode even saw Shipp reunited with his ’90s Flash co-star Amanda Pays, which suggested a possible budding romance, but alas, that was not to be.

Zoom ended up killing Henry Allen at the end of the episode (watch below). As the events unfolded, I found myself telling showrunner Greg Berlanti not to do it! Bummer. 

I found the death rather meaningless. It didn’t need to be done (unless of course Henry Allen is going to appear in the movies? ahem Black Canary, Amanda Waller, Suicide Squad, Harley Quinn, etc, etc, etc). Sure there was a lot of build up with Barry being “invincible,” but then he didn’t even try to save his dad (you’re “invincible!” – at least try, dude!). And we already know Zoom is an uber bad dude; did he need to kill Barry’s father (did I mention played by fan-favorite John Wesley Shipp?) to prove he’s even a badder dude? I didn’t think so. Case in point: It’s probably a safe guess Barry takes down Zoom in the season 2 finale next week, so why even bother killing off Henry Allen? It comes off as unneeded and pointless. It comes off just for show. It comes off as eyerolling and bland.  Grant Gustin and John Wesley Shipp provided some the most heartfelt moments on the series, and now that’s gone.

Honestly, what this episode did kill is my excitement for next week’s season finale and the series. Come on, guys.

Meh.
