Plus, new Spider-Man: Far From Home posters, more looks at Stranger Things’ third season, and Idris Elba with a flamethrower. Spoilers get!

Candyman
In a recent interview with Collider, “spiritual sequel” director Nia DaCosta mysteriously suggested Yahya Abdul-Mateen II’s incarnation of Candyman is a separate entity from Tony Todd’s.
Well, it’s been slightly misreported. I can’t say what’s happening in the film because we want it to be a surprise, but he’s not replacing Tony Todd. That’s been reported, and I was just like, ‘I don’t know what to say about this. This is not right.’
Methuselah
According to Deadline, Michael B. Jordan will play the Biblical Methuselah for Warner Bros. in a “Highlander-like” action film concerning “a man who has managed to survive for hundreds of years, without showing the physical signs of age. In that time, he has accumulated vast intellectual knowledge, from multiple languages to the sciences, as well as survival skills.”

The 100
Bob Morley confirmed Bellamy will spend much of season six reestablishing trust with Clark in a new interview with TV Guide.
I think it takes some time to even be able to address the situation between the two of them and I think they both have a lot of their own healing they have to do before they can even start to speak to each other on terms where it’s amicable or the ability for it to grow into a more healthy relationship [exists]. … I think that Blake sibling relationship is a real barometer of how Bellamy’s feeling in any given season or where he’s going. I don’t think it’s something that they can walk away from that easily. That old adage of blood is thicker than water definitely rings true for them, but it’s just — there’s got to be a lot of water under the bridge before they can kind of develop into something more. But it’s not something that the two of them would happily walk away from, so there’s a lot of work to be done.
KSiteTV also had a long chat with the actor about much the same.
