Ms. Marvel’s First Set Pictures Are Here

The Pink Panther returns in a new movie from the mind behind the Sonic the Hedgehog film. Joe Manganiello teases Deathstroke’s return in Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Katee Sackhoff discusses the Battlestar Galactica reboot. Plus, more Walking Dead casting, and a teeny new teaser for Batwoman’s return. To me, my spoilers!

Ms. Marvel’s First Set Pictures Are Here

The Pink Panther

Sonic the Hedgehog’s Jeff Fowler is now attached to direct a live-action/CGI-hybrid film starring the Pink Panther — the anthropomorphic feline introduced in the opening credits of the 1963 Peter Sellers crime-comedy — that will finally merge the animated character with the bumbling Inspector Clouseau. While details are vague, the story is said to focus on “a smooth operating inspector (Clouseau, presumably) who, thanks to a traumatic event, now has a pink panther for an imaginary friend. The latter, although he doesn’t speak, does help solve the case.” [THR]

Elijah

Deadline reports Alexandre Aja (Crawl) is now attached to direct Elijah, a horror film for Disney’s Searchlight Pictures. Based on a script by Cory Goodman (The Last Witch Hunter) aggressively re-written by Gregory Levasseur (Mirrors) and Aja, himself, the story concerns “a young boy who invites a mysterious man into his home, believing the stranger to be the key to saving his sick mother. As increasingly disturbing things start to happen around his home, the boy soon realises that the sinister stranger is not the saviour he claims to be.”

Swan Song

Glenn Close has joined Mahershala Ali, Naomie Harris, and Awkwafina in the cast of Apple’s “genre-bending drama set in the near future,” Swan Song. Details on her character are not available at this time. [THR]

Justice League

According to a new photo, Slade “Deathstroke, the Terminator” Wilson will look like an apocalyptic Colonel Sanders in the upcoming “Snyder Cut” of Justice League.

We Can Be Heroes

Children are forced to rescue Earth’s superheroes from invading aliens in the first trailer for Robert Rodriguez’s We Can Be Heroes.

Ms. Marvel

Stargirl

Decider reports Alkoya Brunson has been cast in the recurring role of DC Comics’ Jakeem Thunder, “a kid who is destined to become the youngest member of the Justice Society of America” after inheriting a magical, pink pen. Thunder able to harness the power of a genie-like entity named Thunderbolt by clicking the pen and uttering the phrase “so cool.”

Battlestar Galactica

In a new interview with Variety, Katee Sackhoff stated she has “not been contacted” by Sam Esmail or Peacock about the latest Battlestar Galactica reboot.

Oh gosh, I have not heard, I haven’t been contacted. It’s an interesting thing, I think there are some people from our world of Battlestar, our take on it who are a little disappointed, but then there were some people from the original who were disappointed when we did it. I got the role when I was 21 years old, it’s been 19 years since I was cast as Starbuck. My career has gone in so many different directions since then, I don’t know if I could even go back and play Starbuck at this point.

There was a useful angst to her of a woman who was trying to find herself and her place in the world. I was going through that as well as a woman in my early 20s. But as a fan of the mythology of Battlestar Galactica I’m excited to see what Sam [Esmail] can create. If there’s a role for me in it I would absolutely consider it with open arms because he’s so talented. I’m excited for the fans that that world is going to continue.
