The long delayed next Minions movie now has another release date. Good Omens season 2 re-recruits a familiar heavenly host. Superman & Lois teases the return of Lucy Lane. Plus, get a glimpse at the King of New York’s criminal underworld in footage from the Hawkeye finale. To me, my spoilers!
Blue Beetle/The Last Train to New York
Deadline reports that Warner Bros has dated its latest DC movie for an August 18, 2023, theatrical release, shifting it from its original plan as an HBO Max exclusive film.
The same report also notes that New Line’s remake of Train to Busan is now officially titled The Last Train to New York, and will hit theatres April 21, 2023.
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Deadline reports Hope Dickson Leach (The Levelling) will direct a “hybrid” film and stage adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The production will reportedly “kick off as a theatrical live experience where audiences will enter a live filmset built within the atmospheric setting of Edinburgh’s historic Leith Theatre” until the show’s final performance, where it will then be edited into a black-and-white feature film with a brand-new electronic score by DJ Hudson Mohawke.
Kick-Arse
In conversation with Comic Book, Kick-Arse director Matthew Vaughn revealed “a big reboot” is currently in development.
Oh, you’ve got a big reboot, a big reboot of Kick-Arse in two years. Big reboot…It’s so f*cking nuts that I can’t talk about it. But we’ve got that ready to go. All the rights revert back in two years and then we’re going to reboot it where people will be like, ‘He is insane’. Not gonna say [who’s attache to star].
