ABC Moves Marvel’s Agents Of SHIELD Season 4 Timeslot

What could be the proverbial nail in the coffin for Marvel’s Agents Of SHIELD is that ABC has pushed its timeslot back an hour.

Marvel’s Agents Of SHIELD Season 4 will now air at 10pm ET, an hour past the 9pm timeslot, on Tuesday nights.

ABC also cancelled Agent Carter and didn’t green light the Agents Of SHIELD spinoff, Marvel’s Most Wanted.

Taking Marvel’s Agents Of SHIELD Tuesday 9pm ET timeslot is Fresh Off the Boat (9pm) and The Real O’Neals (9:30pm).

We can possibly speculate the feud between Marvel Studios and Marvel TV may have had something to do with ABC and Disney’s decision to axe Marvel TV. Feige recently booted eccentric Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter and the Marvel TV/Comics people from having anything due to with the movies over a long history of frustration and interference.

I’m actually hoping Marvel TV eventually comes under the control of Kevin Feige, then we could have some real quality shows and ones that interact with the movies.

Same goes for Marvel Comics. A Kevin Feige-led Marvel Comics division would be an absolute blessing compared with what we have now.

Kevin Smith Wants Peter Weller, Edgar Wright & More For Buckaroo Banzai TV Series

Last night saw it revealed that Kevin Smith is developing a TV series based on the 1984 Buckaroo Banzai film.

Now Smith has released new details, which includes mention he wants original star, Peter Weller, as the bad guy of the TV series, that all of the original cast is welcome to return, and that he wants to use an all-star roster of directors and writers with Edgar Wright, Richard Kelley and WD Richter mentioned.

Via Instagram:

I’ve been tapped to adapt BUCKAROO BANZAI into a series, which is something of a dream come true: I’ve loved the 1984 movie since I was a kid. My well-read copy of the film’s novelization by screenwriter Earl Mac Rauch is my Bible. But I’m not gonna be directing this alone: it is my intent to assemble a dream team of cult movie directors for the 10 episodes of this #BuckarooBanzai series – folks like #DonnieDarko director Richard Kelly, #ShaunOfTheDead director @edgar_wright and of course, the #Banzai director himself – WD Richter. Same with the writing: I want to bring in the creator Rauch himself to write the flashback episode detailing the night the black Lectroids came to Earth (with the help of #OrsonWelles and his War of the Worlds broadcast.) The other scripts will be penned by other #BlueBlazeIrregulars who worship this flick like I do. Cast-wise, I’m hoping to get the great Peter Weller to play Team Banzai’s greatest enemy, Hanoi Xan! And any cast member from the original who wants to play is gonna be welcomed like returning conquering heroes. Long story short? Don’t worry: I’m not gonna #KevinSmith this Banzai series at all. It’s gonna be 100% true Buckaroo. Which means the watermelon will NEVER be explained. #MGM #yoyodyne #buckaroobanzaiagainsttheworldcrimeleague

Dear Chloe Bennet: Ask Ike Perlmutter Why Marvel Isn’t Connected

Agents of SHIELD‘s Chloe Bennet recently attended the Wizard World Des Moines Comic Con, where, like a lot of fans, she wondered why there wasn’t a connection between the Marvel movies and the Marvel TV shows.

Obviously, as the Marvel movies are uber popular, a nod to the television shows might be rather helpful.

Bennet has this to say (via io9) when asked if Hive was such a big threat, why wouldn’t the Avengers get involved:

I don’t know. People who make movies for Marvel, why don’t you acknowledge what happens on our show? Why don’t you guys go ask them that? Cause they don’t seem to care!

It’s also mentioned to Bennet that SHIELD doesn’t cross over into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but would she want to:

I would love that. The Marvel Cinematic Universe loves to pretend that everything is connected, but then they don’t acknowledge our show at all. So, I would love to do that, but they don’t seem to keen on that idea.

We see Bennet seems to be laying blame with the movie side of things, but maybe she should go ask her boss, Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter, what’s up.

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige recently parted ways with both Ike Perlmutter and his cronies that run TV and the comics, which includes Brian Michael Bendis, the creator or Bennet’s SHIELD character.  Head of Marvel TV,  Jeph Loeb, is also known to be chums with the group.

Here are a few things Perlmutter is said to have been responsible for (off the top of my head):

No female Marvel movies

No female Iron Man 3 villain

Cancellation of X-Men and Fantastic Four comics due to feud with Fox Studios

Cancellation of X-Men and Fantastic Four merchandise over feud with Fox Studios

Reason why Joss Whedon left Marvel following Avengers 2 (and now with Perlmutter out out of the picture, Whedon has renewed interest with Marvel)

Reason for Avengers 2 not doing as well as hoped (Perlmutter’s creative committee also blamed)

Reason why no Iron Man 4 (and now with Perlmutter out of the picture, there is renewed talk of Iron Man 4)

With Perlmutter now gone, Joe Russo has said Marvel Studios is a much healthier and better place to work at

Perlmutter’s TV and creative committee cancelled the Guardians of the Galaxy comic book knowing full well a movie was getting made and placed themselves on new comics and animated shows

Perlmutter forced an Inhumans movie

Problems with Robert Downey Jr. and paying the rest of the Avengers cast (RDJ backed up his fellow actors)

Suggested further reading for Chloe Bennet:

Marvel Shake-Up: Film Chief Kevin Feige Breaks Free of CEO Ike Perlmutter

How Marvel Became the Envy (and Scourge) of Hollywood

Perlmutter/Feige Inhumans and Captain Marvel movie details

Kevin Feige Almost Quit Civil War Over Feud With Perlmutter

When it comes down to it, the reason for the divide seems pretty obvious as one side seems to have rather suspect business practices and a lack of respect for people involved. Who would want to team up with that?

Son Of Zorn will air Sundays from 8:30-9:00pm ET following The Simpsons.

Info:

SON OF ZORN

Featuring the voice of Jason Sudeikis (THE LAST MAN ON EARTH, “Horrible Bosses,” “We’re the Millers”), SON OF ZORN is a new hybrid live-action/animated comedy about an animated warrior from a faraway island in the Pacific Ocean – where everything and everyone is animated – who returns to Orange County, CA, to win back his live-action ex-wife and teenage son. ZORN (Sudeikis), the Defender of Zephyria, Conqueror of the tribes of Agon, decapitator of the dark herdsmen of Grith, has fought in countless epic battles throughout his life, but may find the greatest challenge of all when travels back to suburbia to reconnect with his family. Once there, Zorn finds himself estranged from his son, ALANGULON or just “Alan” (Johnny Pemberton, “21 Jump Street”), a 17-year-old with a mellow, P.C. attitude; and Alan’s mother, Zorn’s ex-wife, EDIE (Cheryl Hines, “Curb Your Enthusiasm”), a former wild child now living the life of an upper middle class mom. Zorn’s efforts to win them back are complicated by the fact that Edie is now engaged to CRAIG (Tim Meadows, “Saturday Night Live”), an online psychology professor and a stable presence in their lives. Nevertheless, to be a good dad, Zorn commits to remaining in Orange County for the long haul, renting an apartment and even working in the exciting field of industrial soap sales under his boss, LINDA (Artemis Pebdani, “Scandal,” “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”), who likes his passion, but just wants him to rein it in at the office. As he adjusts to life in the suburbs, Zorn is the classic fish out of water, navigating his way through fatherhood, divorce and a boring office job. Sure, as an overlord of pain, he defeated glombeasts, wolf-bats and bloodthirsty arachnobots, but now he’ll go toe-to-toe with a new set of enemies: meter maids, dress codes and the DMV.

Lethal Weapon will air Wednesdays at 8pm ET.

Info:

LETHAL WEAPON

Combining action and drama with friendship and humor, LETHAL WEAPON reboots the hit movie franchise, as it follows classic cop duo Riggs and Murtaugh, who are working a crime-ridden beat in modern-day Los Angeles. Grief-stricken after the loss of his young wife and unborn child, ex-Navy SEAL-turned-detective MARTIN RIGGS (Clayne Crawford, “Rectify”) moves to California to “start over” at the LAPD. He’s paired up with ROGER MURTAUGH (Emmy Award nominee Damon Wayans, Sr., “My Wife and Kids,” “In Living Color”), who’s just coming back to the job after a near-fatal heart attack. Riggs’ penchant for diving headfirst into the line of fire immediately clashes with Murtaugh’s prudent, by-the-book technique. It’s clear from the moment they meet, this partnership could be lethal. But during their first case together, Riggs drags Murtaugh on a high-speed chase culminating inside the Long Beach Grand Prix and into a seaport shootout with drug dealers – and despite his protests, the older cop feels more alive than he has in years. Meanwhile, Riggs gets a glimpse of why Murtaugh is so determined to get home safely at the end of each day – he’s got a family and a newborn baby of his own. By the time their investigation ends, Riggs realizes he may have found something worth living for – a partner and friend like Murtaugh. And even Murtaugh figures this arrangement might just work out after all. If only Riggs doesn’t get them killed first…

Info:

THE EXORCIST

Widely regarded as the greatest horror movie ever made, “The Exorcist” broke box office records and terrified audiences around the world. Now, more than four decades after the Academy Award-nominated film, THE EXORCIST returns as a TV series. Directed by Rupert Wyatt (“Rise of the Planet of the Apes”), THE EXORCIST is a propulsive psychological thriller following two very different priests tackling one family’s case of horrifying demonic possession. FATHER TOMAS ORTEGA (Alfonso Herrera, “Sense8,” “The Chosen”) is the new face of the Catholic Church: progressive, ambitious and compassionate. He runs a small but loyal parish in the suburbs of Chicago. He has no idea that his quiet life is about to change forever. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, another priest finds himself locked in a life-and-death struggle with evil. FATHER MARCUS BRENNAN (Ben Daniels, “Flesh and Bone,” “House of Cards”) is a modern-day Templar Knight, an orphan raised since childhood by the Vatican to wage war against its enemies. Father Marcus is everything Father Tomas is not: relentless, abrasive and utterly consumed by his sacred mission. Caught in the middle is the RANCE family, members of Tomas’ parish. On the surface, they’re a normal, suburban family, but all is not as it seems in this household. The patriarch, HENRY RANCE (guest star Alan Ruck, “Spin City,” “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”), is slowly but surely losing his mind. Eldest daughter KATHERINE (Brianne Howey, SCREAM QUEENS) has become a recluse who refuses to leave her room. Her younger sister, CASEY (Hannah Kasulka, “The Fosters”), thinks she’s hearing strange noises coming from inside the walls. And mother ANGELA (Academy Award and Golden Globe winner Geena Davis, “Commander in Chief,” “Thelma & Louise”) has been plagued by recurring nightmares, each more frightening than the last. Angela believes there is something in the house, a demonic presence, growing stronger by the day. Desperate, she begs Father Tomas for help, unwittingly setting the naive young priest on a collision course with Father Marcus. Separately, each faces an insurmountable task, but together they become the only hope against an evil force that has been mobilizing for centuries.

Kevin Smith Developing Buckaroo Banzai TV Series

Following a fan-favorite episode of The Flash (and hopefully Arrow), it’s learned Kevin Smith is developing a Buckaroo Banzai TV series.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension! was a quirky sci-fi movie starring Peter Weller that premiered in 1984.

Smith, on his Hollywood Babble-On podcast, mentioned details about the new project where he revealed the Buckaroo Banzai TV series came about as a result of his positive work on directing an episode of The Flash.

“[Buckaroo Banzai is] one of my favorite movies in the world and largely responsible for the weird s‑‑‑ that I make, because that movie was supposed to be one thing but it did it in another way. It just did it very off-center,” Smith said.

Kevin Smith also offered a possible take on the new Buckaroo Banzai TV series.

“Basically, you just do the entire movie for season 1, and then season 2 you finally do the sequel we’ve all dreamed about, Buckaroo Banzai Versus the World Crime League,” Smith offered, reports EW.com.

The Buckaroo Banzia movie also starred Ellen Barkin, John Lithgow, Jeff Goldblum and Christopher Lloyd, with the plot described as: Buckaroo Banzai is a rock-star/brain-surgeon/comic-book-hero/samurai who along with his group, the Hong Kong Cavaliers, must stop evil creatures from the 8th dimension (all named John) who are trying to conquer our dimension. He is helped by Penny Pretty, who is a dead ringer for his ex-wife, and some good extra-dimensional beings who look and talk like Jamaicans.

No sequel for the movie was ever developed, but the World Crime League was teased in the end credits.

Stephen Amell Teases Green Arrow Goatee; Wants Kevin Smith To Direct; Spotted With Jason Momoa

It look as if we might get the Green Arrow goatee from the comics on the Arrow TV show as Stephen Amell took to Facebook to tease the look.

Amell notes a while ago he said he would never grow the goatee, but he counters that by stating he’s an “idiot.”

A fan in the comments also suggests that since Kevin Smith recently directed an episode of The Flash, that Stephen Amell should work with Smith, which Amell thinks is a good idea.

“This is a f—ing awesome idea,” agreed Amell.

Stephen Amell was also spotted with fellow Arrow actor David Ramsey along with the DCEU version of Aquaman, Jason Momoa.

“Three amigos at an Inn called Cock…,” Ramsey posted on Instagram.

Amell also has TMNT 2 opening next month; he plays Casey Jones.

Possible Spoilers For The Walking Dead Season 7 Negan Killing

Possible spoilers land online for The Walking Dead Season 6 finale and Season 7 premiere regarding just who Negan may have killed — or may not have killed.

TMZ reports Norman Reedus (Daryl) and Steven Yeun (Glenn) were riding their motorcycles in Peachtree City, GA near the set of The Walking Dead when the two came upon an accident.

It’s reported the two actors jumped into action to assist.

Obviously, the spoilers come from the fact that if Norman Reedus and Steven Yeun are on the Season 7 set of The Walking Dead, that means they survived.

The best guess as to who Negan killed is now Abraham, as anybody else would be rather lame: Rick and Carl are known to have survived judging from what Negan had to tell them; Negan probably won’t kill a female (doesn’t in the comics), and killing Eugene probably wouldn’t be the best choice as he’s not a “likable” character. Who else is there?

It is possible either Reedus or Yeun are on set for some sort of flashback scene, or maybe even the producers are keeping the cast together in an attempt to shield who actually dies.

That’s one issue a lot of fans had with the way Season 6 went out — that we would find out who dies just by the simple fact the actor wouldn’t be on set for filming. When it comes down to it, The Walking Dead Season 6 finale will probably go down as one of the worst cliffhangers in television episodic history.

“The Walking Dead” stars Andrew Lincoln as Rick, Chandler Riggs as Carl, Danai Gurira as Michonne, Melissa McBride as Carol, Sonequa Martin-Green as Sasha, Lauren Cohan as Maggie, Steven Yeun as Glenn, Norman Reedus as Daryl, Lennie James as Morgan, Seth Gilliam as Father Gabriel, Michael Cudlitz as Abraham, Josh McDermitt as Eugene, Alanna Masterson as Tara, Christian Serratos as Rosita, Tovah Feldshuh as Deanna, Ross Marquand as Aaron, Alexandra Breckenridge as Jesse, and Austin Nichols as Spencer.

After supervillain Shredder escapes custody, he joins forces with mad scientist Baxter Stockman (Tyler Perry) and two dimwitted henchmen, Bebop (Gary Anthony Williams) and Rocksteady (WWE Superstar Stephen “Sheamus” Farrelly), to unleash a diabolical plan to take over the world. As the Turtles prepare to take on Shredder and his new crew, they find themselves facing an even greater evil with similar intentions: the notorious Krang.

Details On DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow Spoiler Future & Season 2

Spoilers follow for tonight’s episode of DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow.

 

Without revealing too many details about tonight’s stellar episode of DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow, the episode did see the death of Wentworth Miller’s Captain Cold.

However, as DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow happens to be a time travel show, it’s learned this is not the last we’ve seen of Leonard Snart.

Deadline reveals Wentworth Miller has signed a new contract with WB TV that will enable him to appear on any of the CW TV shows, which means he will no longer be a regular on DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow next season, but the good news is that Snart will still appear at some point.

Regarding season 2 of DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow, it’s also revealed two new members will be joining the team, a male and female.

Greg Berlanti offered on Wentworth Miller and Captain Cold:

“We always knew that he wouldn’t be a permanent member of The Waverider. We also knew we loved him on the show and all the shows, Flash as well.”

“What it really emulates to us is the comic books themselves where there really are a cast of characters,” Berlanti said. While Miller, who also has been filming the Prison Breakfollowup, “won’t be part of the team of Legends on board of The Waverider next year, he will have a very active role on the show.”

Miller’s is “the first contract not applicable to just one show,” Berlanti said. “In success we hope to continue with other characters finding their way across all the shows.”

“He is a guy who who was a villain at the beginning, finding the hero in him by the end,” Berlanti said.

On Season 2 of DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow:

“One of joys and advantages is that it allows us to change in success who is on The Waverider and not,” Berlanti said. “Flash and Arrow are very much about building one team, while there is an anthology element to Legends.”

“Every year for this show people should expect a new adventure,” said Berlanti, dropping a few hints about Season 2. “There will be new teammates, a new big bad. Mixing and matching things is part of the fun of the show.”

“DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow” airs Thursday’s at 8pm ET on The CW starring Arthur Darvill as Rip Hunter, Victor Garber as Dr. Martin Stein, Brandon Routh as Ray Palmer, Caity Lotz as Sara Lance, Ciara Renée as Hawkgirl, Franz Drameh as Firestorm, Dominic Purcell as Heatwave, Wentworth Miller as Captain Cold, Falk Hentschel as Hawkman, and Casper Crump as Vandal Savage.

Agent Carter Gets Cancelled

ABC has cancelled the Marvel Agent Carter TV series following two seasons.

The news shouldn’t be all that surprising as ratings weren’t that good. In addition, a few weeks ago it became known star of Agent Carter, Hayley Atwell, signed on for another ABC series, which has been green lit with Conviction.

Conviction will air for the 2016-17 season and is described as:

Atwell stars as a lawyer and the former First Daughter Hayes Morrison, who is about to accept a job offered from her sexy nemesis, NY District Attorney Wayne Wallis (Eddie Cahill), to avoid jail time for cocaine possession and avoid hurting her mother’s Senate campaign. Working with his team at the new Conviction Integrity Unit will let her use her brilliant mind to turn over cases where there is credible suspicion of wrongful conviction, and give her a chance to turn things around with her high-powered political family.

Update: ABC has also cancelled the Agents of SHIELD spinoff, Marvel’s Most Wanted.

Supergirl Moves To CW For Season 2

Good news for fans of Supergirl as Season 2 is green lit and will now air on The CW.

Supergirl will also see its production moved fom Los Angeles to Vancouver, which is also the home of Greg Berlanti’s other DC series, Arrow, The Flash and DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow.

The news comes after much speculation that Supergirl would move to The CW as CBS wasn’t sure if they were going to renew the series citing high licensing and production costs.

The talks with CBS actually helped out The CW as reportedly WB was already making changes to make Supergirl less costly, with the aforementioned move to Vancouver amongst them.

The Flash Grant Gustin recently crossed over to Supergirl, which saw a big spike in ratings. Supergirl and Melissa Benoist should be right at home on The CW, and with the move to Vancouver, more than likely we’ll see additional crossovers in the future as well.

First Look At Vanessa Hudgens In DC’s Powerless

NBC has officially picked up the DC comedy series Powerless, which stars Vanessa Hudgens, and released a first look at Hudgens as Emily as well as a peek at Crimson Fox.

Emily is described as: 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.

Powerless also stars Alan TudykDanny Pudi and Christina Kirk and will air on NBC for the 2016-17 season.

Charlie Hunnam & Alexander Skarsgard Were Up To Play Thor

It’s learned Chris Hemsworth wasn’t the only actor up to play Thor for Marvel Studios.

Thor writer Zack Stentz appeared on the Kevin Smith Fatman On Batman podcast and discussed writing Thor where he let it be known Charlie Hunnam and Alexander Skarsgard were up to play the son of Odin.

“…Thor. It’s like [writing] big blond guy. It could have been one of eight big blond guys,” Stentz said. “I was there. I was like, ‘Is that Alex Skarsgard? Is that the Sons of Anarchy guy?”

Kevin Smith then asked if Thor might have been Alexander Skarsgard.

“Yeah. Those were the other two main candidates who are Charlie Hunnam and  Skarsard,” Stentz said. “I love those guys, but I think Hemsworth was the right choice. Just that frickin’ charm he brought.”

Stentz also let it be known he and Ashely Miller were responsible for choosing to use Coulson (Clark Gregg) in Thor after Marvel told them Samuel L. Jackson wouldn’t be available due to the negotiations not working out. Stentz said they also chose to use Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye.

Another actor up to play Thor includes Tom Hiddleston, who we all know went on to play Loki.

It’s also been sad WB had created Justice League concept art a while back with Charlie Hunnam as The Flash.
