Patrick Wilson discusses Orm’s future after Aquaman. Bond 25 is apparently heading to Italy. That direct-to-video Doom movie could be coming later this year. Plus, a new English-subtitled trailer for Okko’s Inn, more new pictures from Hellboy and the season finale of Black Lightning, and what’s to come on Riverdale. Spoilers away!
Black Adam
That Hashtag Show alleges that the script for DC’s Black Adam contains cameos from Hawkman — in a seemingly antagonistic role — Stargirl, and Atom Smasher, taking inspiration from Geoff Johns’ early-aughts writing on the character.
Cruella
That Hashtag Show also claims Nicole Kidman, Emma Thompson, Charlize Theron, Juliane Moore, and Demi Moore are on Disney’s shortlist to play Cruella de Vil’s arch-nemesis, the Baroness, in the upcoming Disney prequel starring Emma Stone.
Minotaur
According to Deadline, Amblin has hired Dean Israelite (Power Rangers) to write and direct Minotaur, “a supernatural thriller set in Johannesburg” concerning “the ivory trade in Africa.”
Bond 25
Variety reports Bond 25 plans to film a big, action set piece in Matera, Italy. Let your mind run rampant as to what that could possibly look like, as no other details were given.
Aquaman 2
In conversation with Syfy Wire, Patrick Wilson stated Orm is “not gonna be a main villain in another movie,” but will likely remain a supporting character in future Aquaman projects.
I don’t know what the future holds for Orm … You can’t kill him. He’s too important to [Arthur’s] journey … he’s a foil to [his character]. He’s not gonna be a main villain in another movie. I don’t think Orm ends up in Belle Reve like he does in the New 52. I assume they’re gonna keep him in some kind of jail below the surface. If [James] wants me back, I’m certainly happy to come back.
Doom: Annihilation
Dread Central reports the direct-to-video Doom reboot is now titled Doom: Annihilation and is currently slated for a fall 2019 release date.
Hellboy
Hellboy rides a horse—not even a pale one—in new photos from the film’s official Twitter.
