At Least One Familiar Face Isn’t Back for Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania

Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania

David Dastmalchian has confirmed to Screen Rant he will not be reprising his role as Kurt Goreshter in Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania.

It doesn’t look like it… But that’s ok. I know they’re making something incredible. I can’t wait to see what Peyton [Reed] does next. He’s one of my favourite directors… He’s been so busy. I have tried to stay in touch, but he’s making an incredible film right now.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

In a since-deleted Tweet captured by Comic Book, costume designer Ruth E. Carter confirmed filming has wrapped on Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

Nekrokosm

THR reports Mandy director Panos Cosmatos will team with A24 and screenwriter Maegan Houang on Nekrokosm, a “phantasmagorical fantasy nightmare” said to be “set deep within a strange galaxy where two lovers are torn apart as they try to survive a malevolent invasion.”

Batgirl

In conversation with AFrame, J.K. Simmons stated Batgirl will explore Commissioner Gordon’s role as a father:

The tiny role that Commissioner Gordon played in Justice League was very businesslike and very, ‘Let’s see if we can stave off the end of the world!’ What appealed to me about this movie was from Jim Gordon’s point of voice, it’s really more a story about him as a guy and as a father and not just about the guy who’s turning on the Bat Signal and trying to keep the citizens of Gotham safe-although that’s obviously also a part of the story. But it was a chance to delve into a different aspect of the character.

The Boys

Jensen Ackles discussed filming the upcoming “Herogasm” episode of The Boys during a recent panel at SXSW.

I think everybody knows that they somehow managed to tackle Herogasm this season. How they did that I will not say, but…holy sh-t. I’ll give you just a little story. I walked on set, not to say that I was in that particular scene or whatever, but I was working that day and I walked up to our camera operator who was eating a sandwich outside of set, he had his mask down. He was eating a sandwich, he had this really troubled look on his face and I said ‘hey man, what’s going on? How’s it going in there?’ and he goes, ‘Man, I’ve seen some sh-t today!’ And I was just like ‘Oh, Oh no!’ So yeah, good times.
