Which Suicide Squad Star Is James Gunn Bringing to TV Next?

Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Variety reports original Texas Chainsaw Massacre narrator, John Larroquette, will once again provide his voice for Netflix’s latest franchise entry.

Hellboy 3

In a recent interview with The Independent, Ron Perlman stated he and Guillermo del Toro “owe” the world’s Hellboy fans a third movie.

Am I eager to do Hellboy 3? No, I’m 71 fucking years old. We owe this to the fans, and we should give it to them because it would be an epic conclusion. So Guillermo, if you’re reading, I’m not done pounding you to get this fucking thing done.

Star Trek 4

Simon Pegg additionally confirmed to Collider he’s still “waiting for news” about a potential fourth Star Trek movie from director Matt Shakman.

I don’t know much. I’ve met Matt briefly and seems like a great guy. I love the work he did on WandaVision. It’s always waiting with these things, because the world is an uncertain place. COVID’s thrown everything into a spin. There’s so many factors that have to align in order for these things to happen. I’m just quietly waiting for news basically. And I texted J.J. the other day and said, ‘Tell me what’s happening.’ He’s just like, ‘We’re waiting for news.’ I’d love to see more adventures in the Kelvin universe. Obviously, any chance I get to work with those actors is… I’ll leap at it, albeit it’s going to be a little sad this time, but stay tuned.

Untitled Simon Pegg/Edgar Wright Project

In a separate interview with Comic Book, Pegg revealed he and Edgar Wright are now “talking” about another project together.

With Edgar and I, we have to just get our schedules in order so that we can write together again. We’re talking about stuff, there’s been ideas thrown around and we’re circling something. But obviously he’s really busy, I’m really busy. It’s not like the old days when we were just trying to get seen and we had all that time. Now things are a little more complicated. But there’s room in my heart for all that stuff and I obviously want to work Edgar and Nick again because they’re my mates and it means we get to hang out more.

System Shock

Also according to Deadline, a live-action TV series based on the 1994 computer game System Shock is now in development at Binge.com with Greg Russo attached to write and direct.

Edgeworld

The series focuses on Killian Jess, “a magistrate and former soldier who lives on planet Pala and is in charge of protecting it.

Jess must battle alien invasions, rogue militaries, and essentially any and every other threat the galaxy could throw at Pala and its citizens.”
