The Valiant comics television universe is expanding. The G.I. Joe spinoff is marching along. And that Emma Stone-starring Cruella film just got a very curious premise. Plus clips from the Elseworlds crossover, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’s holiday special and more. Spoilers away!
Sesame Street
Collider reports Anne Hathaway is currently in talks to play a human character named Sally in Jonathan Krisel’s upcoming Sesame Street movie.
Snake Eyes
According to The Wrap, Robert Schwentke (Red, R.I.P.D.) has finalised a deal to direct the G.I. Jone spinoff film.
Bond 25
Responding to recent rumours neither Christoph Waltz (Blofeld) or Ben Whishaw (Q) would return for Bond 25, director Cary Fukunaga stated the film’s script is still being written.
Who is saying those rumours? We haven’t finished the screenplay, so there is no way that anyone could know that. Those are two extraordinary actors, so if there is space for them in the story, I would absolutely want them there. But I don’t know yet what it’s going to be.
Cruella
the Hollywood Reporter adds that it “is being billed as an origin story, set in the early 1980s with a punk vibe.”
Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)
Appearing as a guest on The Tonight Show, Margot Robie discussed the long Birds of Prey title and said it’s “not a very serious movie.”
It’s not a very serious movie, so we thought the title should reflect that. Birds of Prey makes it sound very serious, and then that’s kinda like Harley adding her ‘Hey, I’m in this, too.”
Godzilla: King of the Monsters
The King of the Monsters trailer premieres December 9 at Brazil Comic Con, according to director Mike Dougherty on Twitter.

The Quake

Pennyworth
Polly Walker has joined the cast of Batman’s butler spin-off Pennyworth as Peggy Sykes, “sister of Bet Sykes” and “one of Lancashire’s busiest and most successful dominatrixes. The sensible matriarch in a family of maniacs, Peggy is fiercely loyal, endlessly resourceful and lives by her own strange but rigorous moral code.”
