Zootopia 2 & 3

At a Dave & Busters in Ontario, Tommy “Tiny” Lister revealed two sequels to Zootopia are currently in development at Disney.

I can tell you for sure I’m doing another Zootopia with Disney. We doing three of them. [There were] three Madagascars. We’re gonna replace that. We’re the biggest film that Disney is producing. The last one was $332 million. This one I’m hearing will be $415 million. That’s what they spent on the budget, not the advertising. But the movie made $4 billion, with merchandising and the box office.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Sarah Michelle Gellar confirmed she won’t appear in the upcoming Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot during a recent interview with The Wrap.

I don’t know anything about it, honestly. I think that it’s a great story and I’m glad that it will get retold and hope that people will watch it. But, you know, I’ve told my story with it.


Arrowverse

The CW’s Mark Pedowitz stated he plans “to keep this CW [DC] Universe going for as many years as possible” during a recent panel at Television Critics Association Press Tour.

We haven’t hit that saturation point in my mind. I’m looking forward to Batwoman. Hopefully, in May we’ll be able to order it to series. I’m thrilled where we are with Arrow, Flash, Legends, Black Lightning, and Supergirl. So I think we have a lot to say. I think there’s more to be said.

Things will age, and we want to get the next generation of shows to keep this CW [DC] Universe going for as many years as possible.
