Constantine Joins Legends of Tomorrow Season 3
John Constantine will return to the Arrowverse.
ComicBook.com reports Matt Ryan will reprise his role as Constantine in an unspecified Season 3 episode of DC's Legends of Tomorrow. There's no word yet on just how big of a role Constantine will have on the show or the reason for his involvement.
The live-action Constantine TV show ran for one season on NBC in the 2014-15 TV season. Ryan recently reprised his role as Constantine in Season 4 of Arrow. The CW head Mark Pedowitz previously said there were no plans for him to return to the live-action DC shows anytime soon.
Blade Runner 2049 Underwhelms in Box Office Debut
Blade Runner 2049 disappointed in its domestic debut at the box office, opening in first place with an estimated $31.5 million.
Given the glowing reception from critics and strong advance ticket sales, the film was projected to make significantly more, with expectations in the $45-50 million range. Director Denis Villeneuve's sequel was extremely expensive to make, boasting a reported production budget of $150 million before marketing costs, so the film will have to perform well in international markets if it hopes to be profitable.
While its long runtime of 163 minutes (which limits the number of screenings per day) and its "R" rating didn't work in the film's favor commercially, what appears to be the primary reason Blade Runner 2049 underwhelmed at the box office is its inability to connect with younger moviegoers. According to comScore's PostTrak data, 50 percent of ticket buyers were males over the age of 25 and another 27 percent were women over 25.
Black Mirror: Footage from Jodie Foster’s Episode Revealed
After debuting a full episode at PaleyFest New York a few days ago, Netflix brought even more new footage from the upcoming season of Black Mirror to New York Comic Con. The footage was introduced as part of a panel featuring creator Charlie Brooker and executive producer Annabel Jones, who spoke about what fans can expect from the fourth season of the dark sci-fi anthology series.
The footage came from the episode "Arkangel." The episode was directed by Jodie Foster, who also served as the moderator of the panel. The clip starts in an immaculate high-rise medical facility. A nervous mom and her four-year-old daughter wait in the reception area until a doctor arrives to explain that they’ll be part of a free clinical trial. The doctor talks about some kind of subscription model for the child’s care, which, given Black Mirror’s history, should immediately set off alarm bells for fans.

The X-Files Season 11 Release Info, Trailer Revealed
During The X-Files panel at New York Comic Con, a teaser trailer for Season 11 was shown that revealed the next season will debut in 2018
The footage started in the same place Season 10 left off with a cliffhanger, with a beam of blue light shining down on Scully and Miller. Series creator Chris Carter explained that the first episode will deal with that cliffhanger. The final shot showed a younger version of the mysterious smoking man standing next to an alien and Carter said the first episode will also explore his backstory.
Even though Mulder looked to be in peril at the end of Season 10, the trailer showed him looking fine and rather Scully was in a hospital bed, reaching up to touch her partner’s face. Earlier in the trailer, there’s a scene where Scully’s home gets invaded by masked men shooting guns, and Scully flips a table and draws her gun to fire back. Maybe she gets wounded in the battle. When asked about Scully being hospitalized during the panel, Carter said that it’d be a spoiler to answer and that audiences wouldn’t want to know.
Legends of Tomorrow: 6 Time-Bending Season 3 Teases
Be advised of spoilers ahead for the first two seasons of DC's Legends of Tomorrow.
If there's one thing the Legends of Tomorrow aren't great at, it's keeping the timeline intact. As the Season 3 finale came to a close, the team of misfits arrived back in modern day Los Angeles, only to find dinosaurs roaming the planet. That leaves them with a big problem to solve when Season 4 kicks off -- and some tough lessons to learn.
Perhaps the Legends aren't the ones that will be saving the world this year, though. Phil Klemmer, who serves as Executive Producer on Legends of Tomorrow, spoke with IGN about the new season, the scary villains it will bring and explains what, exactly, a Time Bureau does.

The Justice League and Doom Patrol Join Forces
DC Comics is gearing up for the first major crossover between the Justice League and the revamped Doom Patrol in early 2018. Yesterday at NYCC we learned more about "Milk Wars," the weekly crossover that brings these two teams together.
"Milk Wars" is a weekly crossover that begins in January 2018. The story revolves around the debut of a new, Frank Quitely-designed villain called Milkman Man. The villain is being compared to the Anti-Monitor from Crisis on Infinite Earths, as his goal is to "homogenize" the DCU and remove all traces of strangeness. Naturally, that doesn't sit well with the quirky heroes of Doom Patrol.
