Space Jam: A New Legacy
Entertainment Weekly reports Spider-Man: No Way Home star Zendaya will lend her voice to Lola Bunny in Space Jam: A New Legacy.
Zatanna
During a recent interview with Variety, Zatanna screenwriter Emerald Fennell confirmed DC has not yet asked her to direct the film, as well.
It’s so exciting. That’s not a conversation that’s happened at all, so I have no insight, and also, we’re still in the early days. It’s something that we’ve been working on for a while. I’ve been speaking to Bad Robot [Productions], who are amazing. You want to get the first bit right, which is the script, before you think of anything else. It’s a very specific thing – the world of superhero movies is incredibly exciting, but it’s also a new different challenge. The main thing for me is making sure that it’s really, really good. I’m such a genre fan. I’m a fan of witchcraft, magic, and comic books, and this is scary and intense.

Footage from a set for the series in Southern California appears to show, perhaps to the surprise of very few people, a lot of Tatooine-esque buildings. You can view it on Twitter.
Chucky
Syfy royalty Lexa Doig (Jason X, Andromeda, Stargate: SGI, Arrow) has joined the cast of Chucky as Bree Webber, a woman “married to Logan (Devon Sawa), and “the aunt of Jake Webber (Zackary Arthur) — one of the teenage leads in the 10-episode series.” According to the Bloody-Disgusting, the character is “held to an unrealistic standard — by her husband and herself, which leads her to keep a dark secret from her family.”
