Justice League is the gift that keeps on giving for all the wrong reasons. Since the film was released last November, critics and audiences have been picking apart Justice League, from picking out the scenes that were reshot by Joss Whedon to the notorious CGI job to remove Henry Cavill’s mustache that he was sporting at the time he was filming Mission Impossible – Fallout. Now, we can add another log to ever growing fire. A Twitter user named…

Then something potentially interesting happened this afternoon: Pascal posted a picture on his…
UPDATE Paramount has come out and said that this information is inaccurate, claiming that Rudd is not in the running for the lead human role in Sonic The Hedgehog at this time, but it’s believed that he was a contender at one point. ORIGINAL REPORT Paramount picked up the movie rights for the SEGA’s Sonic The Hedgehog late last year and quickly announced plans for a live-action/animation hybrid film featuring the beloved video game mascot.

Ever since DC Entertainment made a big splash by announcing the name and initial lineup of shows for its upcoming streaming service, folks have had all kinds of questions about the DC Universe and its shows. One of them has been with regard to the animated Harley Quinn series on the slate, which was announced last year.

On last week’s El Fanboy Podcast, I got a little carried away discussing all of the different DC projects that seem to be higher up on the Priority List than Matt Reeves’ The Batman, and I somehow managed to forget to mention The Flash. But it’s true, a film about the Scarlet Speedster seems to be coming along much faster than another film about The Dark Knight (and maybe that’s a good thing?). Today I’ve got a pair of fresh…
It isn’t because Kevin Smith’s mother is named Martha. (It’s not. Her name is Grace). There are actually a few different things contributing to it. Did you know Kevin Smith had a massive heart attack? Every second of every minute of everyday it is mentioned by Smith himself. If you have seen anything from the comedian at all in the last month, you will know about it. But Smith has made the most of it.…

From details about how Warner Bros. views Henry Cavill’s Superman, to the most conclusive thing he’s ever heard about Ben Affleck’s future as Batman, and the reversion of Flashpoint back to The Flash, there’s plenty to talk about! This all came…
Dr. Evil will always have a place in the hearts of Austin Powers fans as he was the embodiment of of every James Bond and Rocky and Bull Winkle villain, but we never got to know his story the way we did with Austin Powers, both played by Mike Myers. Well, there is a chance that we may get to see the scarred genius come center stage in a movie of his own. Mike Myers recently expressed…
Following today’s report about Flashpoint reverting back to being just a solo The Flash movie, I thought I’d chime in with another big rumor I’ve been hearing these last few days. It has to do with Ben Affleck’s future as Batman, and it’s something I’ve alluded to a couple of times on my show.
