Updates From The Mandalorian, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and More

Could a Metal Men movie really still be happening at DC? Evangeline Lily thinks she’s finally clicked with Hope Van Dyne for Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania. Killer Croc lurks in new teasers for Batwoman. Plus, what’s coming on Supergirl and La Brea. To me, my spoilers!

Updates From The Mandalorian, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and More

Metal Men

In a new interview with Comic Book Movie, Barry Sonnenfeld confirmed he’s still “actively” working on a treatment for a Metal Men movie at DC and Warner Bros.

You know, it’s funny because I am developing Metal Men with Warner Bros. We’re actively working on a treatment for that. For me, it’s not so much a superhero thing as it is world-building. If you look at the work I’ve done, whether it’s The Addams Family, Men in Black, Pushing Daisies, Schmigadoon!, or A Series of Unfortunate Events, it’s all about creating a world. An unusual, slightly off-kilter quirky, different kind of world; that’s what I love doing. It’s not specifically, necessarily superhero, but even in Metal Men, that I am developing, it’s going to be a very specific kind of world. It’s a real-world because I always like things to be reality-based, but slightly with a tilt to that. It all started with The Addams Family which is both real but slightly pushed.

Spider-Man: No Way Home

Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man apparently appears in a Russian Skittles ad tying into No Way Home. Make of this what you will, but personally we can’t believe that Skittles have been confirmed for No Way Home, now.

Ant-Man & The Wasp Quantumania

In conversation with THR, Evangeline Lily revealed she had a “eureka” moment while reading the script for Quantumania and now “finally gets” her character, Hope Van Dyne.

Hope is an odd enigma for me. I wish I could say otherwise because I want to honour her; I want to honour every character I ever play. But the truth is that I find it harder to know and understand Hope than any other character I’ve ever played before. We’re just a little over halfway through. And I will say that after I read the script of the film, I did have a kind of eureka moment; I said to Peyton [Reed], ‘Oh my God, I think I finally get her.’ Three or four films in, I thought, ‘I think I get it now.’ So I’m hoping that when we come to wrap and when I see the movie, I’m going to know the difference. But I don’t think anyone else will. I think I’m a good bluffer. That’s what I do for a living. But I know the difference and I’m hopeful that in this one, I’ll feel like I can watch it and go, ‘Yeah, you had a better handle on her in this one than you ever have before.’ That’s my goal, anyway. That’s my hope.

A man (Corey Johnson) tries to prove the murder his friend (Oded Fehr) is currently serving time for was actually committed by a demon in the trailer for Lair.
