The Suicide Squad: Courtney Says He’ll Return as Boomerang
Jai Courtney, who played Captain Boomerang in 2016’s Suicide Squad, claims he’ll be returning for James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad.
In an interview with Business Insider, Courtney said "We're getting ready to shoot in a few months’ time. There's not much else I can reveal about it but, yeah, you'll be seeing Boomerang back for sure... I'm happy, it's going to be fun. It will be different, for sure, but it's going to be great."
In the first film, Captain Boomerang was captured by The Flash after a diamond heist, as forced into the Suicide Squad, and had a notable love for pink unicorns.
Tolkien Movie Cast Reveals Which Lord of the Rings Characters They Would Be
Warning! Some spoilers for what we saw at the presentation.
J.R.R. Tolkien is probably the best-known fantasy author of all-time. His sprawling stories include The Lord of the Rings trilogy and its prequel, The Hobbit, both of which have defined much of the fantasy genre. In a new film from Fox Searchlight, the writer's origin story will be explored with Nicholas Hoult playing the iconic creator. During a panel at WonderCon, the cast and crew shared their thoughts about bringing the story to the screen.
Moderated by Cliff Broadway, the panel began with a rousing round of applause for J.R.R. Tolkien led by the man behind the fansite OneRing.net who was clearly ecstatic to be in the Anaheim Convention Center celebrating the writer who has had such a profound impact on his life. After playing the teaser trailer which was released earlier this year, the room was introduced to the director, Dome Karukoski, and cast members Anthony Boyle, Patrick Gibson, Tom Glynn-Carney, and Nicholas Hoult, who was fresh off the Dark Phoenix panel.
Swamp Thing Sets Premiere Date, Reveals First Look at WonderCon
DC Universe revealed the premiere date for James Wan's upcoming adaptation of Swamp Thing at WonderCon - along with a first look at the series that was shown exclusively to the room and (for now) won't be released wide. The teaser trailer features a lot of quick, creepy shots that establish the horrific, southern gothic vibe of the series, with rotting corpses being reanimated through creeping vines, and plenty of jump scares. The final shot of the teaser features Abby Arcane (Crystal Reed) wading through the swamp, before she turns to see something lumpy, slimy, and definitely not human beginning to rise from the water - but the camera cuts away before we can see Swamp Thing in all its glory.
The DC Universe App Is Getting a Huge Content Boost
DC is making good on the promise to expand the lineup of comics available in the DC Universe streaming app. Following several significant content updates in January and February, DC will be making its full comic book catalog available to DC Universe subscribers.
As revealed at WonderCon this evening, DC will add thousands more classic comics to the service in April 2019 (the specific date is still TBD). Essentially, any DC digital comic older than 12 months will be available to read on the app, making DC Universe a much more direct competitor to Marvel's Digital Comics Unlimited service.
Josh Brolin Responds to *That* Ant-Man Theory
Josh Brolin, who plays Thanos in the upcoming Avengers film, has responded to the outrageous Ant-Man fan theory which has been making the rounds on social media.
If you have been excited about Avengers: Endgame, you may have come across a particularly inventive theory on how the smallest Avenger could take out Thanos without even fighting.
The theory postulates that Ant-Man could shrink down and approach Thanos... from the rear. Once nestled securely in Thanos' butt, all Ant-Man would need to do is hit the gas, turn himself giant-sized, and Thanos would meet a particularly messy end.
In response to the theory, Brolin made a post on Instagram, revealing just how the Mad Titan would flush the competition, should the need arise. "The tension around what 'Endgame' is going to bring," Brolin said, "I can feel it, as you can see. Can you?"
We Saw Jean Grey Battle Magneto in New Dark Phoenix Footage
This article contains spoilers for two scenes from Dark Phoenix.
Fans at WonderCon got an early look at two pivotal scenes from X-Men: Dark Phoenix ahead of the sequel's June 7 release - so if you want to go into what could be Fox's final X-Men movie relatively unspoiled, turn back now.
The first scene, which clocks in around 10 minutes, sees the X-Men (Beast, Mystique, Nightcrawler, Storm, Quicksilver, Cyclops, and Jean Grey) taking off in the X-Jet to assist a space shuttle that has lost power following an inexplicable solar flare. The president himself has requested the X-Men's assistance, and we see Charles Xavier going into Cerebro and tapping into NASA's Mission Control, talking directly to the folks on the ground while also communicating with the X-team as they race into space.
