A spinoff series of The Batman is reportedly in development for HBO Max, and it's set to revolve around The Penguin.

Variety reports that Colin Farrell, who is set to play the villain in Matt Reeves' The Batman, has been approached to star in the series, but a deal has not been made yet.

Reeves, along with The Batman Producer Dylan Clark, would reportedly be involved as executive producers. The report says the show would dive into The Penguin's rise to power in Gotham.

We'll get to see Farrell's portrayal of the classic Batman villain, as well as Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader himself, when The Batman comes to theaters on March 4, 2022. However, Farrell has said Penguin only appears in "five or six scenes" of the film. Other stars include Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon, Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, and John Turturro as Carmine Falcone.

The Penguin is a longtime member of Batman's rogues gallery and he was portrayed by Danny DeVito in 1992's Batman Returns. He's called the Penguin for his appearance, and in the comics the Penguin character has evolved into more of your typical crime boss/gangster. Rather than terrorize civilians, the Penguin in the comics uses his family's wealth to fund his criminal empire and nightclub business.

We won't have to wait long to get another glimpse at the movie, as a new trailer for The Batman is set to debut at this year's DC FanDome, which begins on October 16.

It turns out there might actually be no time to die, at least if No Time To Die's runtime has anything to say about it. That's because No Time To Die will be the longest James Bond movie to date, clocking in at a whopping 163 minutes, or 2 hours and 43 minutes, as reported by IndieWire.

This nearly three-hour runtime places No Time To Die above Spectre's 148 minute runtime, which previously held the record for longest James Bond movie. Before it, Daniel Craig's first outing as Bond in Casino Royale held the title with its 144-minute runtime.

While this runtime is the longest ever for a James Bond movie, it doesn't reveal too much more other than the fact that Craig's final go as the famed superspy will be a long one (and hopefully a good and proper goodbye to his character too).

For reference, Craig's 007 movies have hovered around the 2 hour and 20 minute mark, save for Quantum of Solace, which clocked in at about an hour and 45 minutes. No Time To Die is 15 minutes longer than Spectre, which was the longest James Bond film to date until now.

No Time To Die will be released exclusively in theaters on October 8. While waiting to watch its full 163-minute action-packed story, read about the popular fan theory director Cary Joji Fukunaga recently dispelled and then watch the final trailer for No Time To Die. Read about why you shouldn't expect a James Bond TV series from Amazon after the company's recent $8.45 billion acquisition of MGM after that.

Developer Red Hook Studios has revealed that Darkest Dungeon II will enter Early Access on the Epic Games Store next month. The studio announced the news today on Twitter, stating that the game will be playable via the Epic Games Store on PC starting on October 26.

Darkest Dungeon II (Early Access) is coming to @EpicGames on October 26th, 2021!

When the game was first announced in 2019 with "The Howling End" announcement teaser, Red Hook revealed that six returning classes from the first Darkest Dungeon would be returning to the sequel: Grave Robber, Leper, Man-at-Arms, Plague Doctor, Highwayman, and Hellion.

Red Hook also revealed that the first game's combat system will return, but that it would be "tuned-up" for the sequel. The developers said the sequel will employ a very different metagame structure, but opted not to reveal more about what that means. It seems players will get the chance to discover that very different metagame structure first hand in a little over a month.

When the sequel was first announced, Red Hook said the team working on the game consisted of 14 people but that growing to 20 people was anticipated.

"We love our dysfunctional cast of characters, our atmosphere and our world,'' Red Hook's Tyler Sigman and Chris Bourassa told PCGamer when the game was announced. "Horror is a fantastic space to explore interesting and unconventional ideas, and we have a lot more story we want to tell. Mechanically, we also think we have some valuable nuggets and there is more there that we'd like to explore and build on. Above all, we are committed to crafting Darkest Dungeon II to be its own experience; it will have its own creative and thematic identity."

You can check out that creative and thematic identity on PC on October 26 when Darkest Dungeon II enters Early Access on the Epic Games Store. In the meantime, watch the Darkest Dungeon II announcement teaser and then read our thoughts on the first game in IGN's Darkest Dungeon review.

Dan Trachtenberg's upcoming Predator movie has seemingly finished filming according to the movie's cinematographer.

Jeff Cutter announced on Instagram that Predator Skulls had finished wrapping, which itself is an announcement as the movie was previously just called "Skull."

Cutter's Instagram post reveals a lot of details about the movie which has, for the most part, remained secretive. He even seemingly revealed two more cast members have joined the Amber Midthunder-led movie as well, as reported by Collider.

"And that's a wrap on Skulls," Cutter's Instagram post above reads. "Can't thank [Dan Trachtenberg] enough for inviting me on this epic journey and entrusting me to help achieve his vision for this film! Thanks to a great cast led by [Amber Midthunder, Dakota Beavers, and Dane DiLiegro], and much love to a brave Calgary crew for diving headfirst in with us!"

As Collider points out, Beavers and DiLiegro’s roles in Skulls are still unknown, but considering DiLiegro has played monsters in American Horror Stories before, there's a good chance he might be the actual Predator in the movie.

DiLiegro also commented on Cutter's Instagram post and said "was a pleasure being your sasquatch." Predators are basically alien sasquatches, right? Beavers' role in Skulls is anybody's guess at this point, though, and it might remain that way for now considering how secretive the movie as a whole has been so far.

New details about this Predator movie emerged back in July when it was revealed that the movie was going to be a female-fronted origin story tracing the Predator's first journey back to Earth. Skulls producers John Davis and John Fox revealed this information back when the movie was called "Skull."

The last Predator movie released was 2018's The Predator, and it was written and directed by Iron Man 3 director, Shane Black. It grossed $160.5 million, which is the highest box office gross for a single Predator movie ever, but because the movie cost $88 million to make and more to market, a sequel was not greenlit. Check out our thoughts on the movie in IGN's The Predator review.

Even before The Suicide Squad hit theaters and HBO Max, it was known that one of the (anti-)heroes in the movie, John Cena’s Peacemaker, would be getting a TV spinoff. We now have a first-look image from the show.

Entertainment Weekly has an exclusive image from the Peacemaker series which includes a couple of familiar faces for anyone who has seen The Suicide Squad.

Massive Spoilers for The Suicide Squad Below

In James Gunn’s Suicide Squad reboot, Peacemaker and Bloodsport (Idris Elba) have something of a not-so-friendly rivalry that culminates in a shootout towards the end of the film. Bloodsport shoots Peacemaker through the neck, but a post-credits stinger revealed that Peacemaker survived the shootout and is recruited by Amanda Waller’s subordinates to save the world from some new threat.

And the first image basically picks off from there. Cena’s Peacemaker is back up and running, and he’s sitting at a table with some folks from Waller’s office including Economos and Harcourt, as well as another costumed character, Vigilante.

this team may not look like much, but im a member of it so you know its absolutely elite #peacemaker https://t.co/jMA59Okx6c pic.twitter.com/PKGieqjhdt

— Peacemaker on HBO Max (@DCpeacemaker) September 13, 2021

Gunn says he’s not a fan of bringing back characters after they seemingly died, but he became his worst enemy to get Peacemaker his show. “I did exactly the thing I hate when other filmmakers do [it],” Gunn told EW. “But I did it! I’ll have to live with the repercussions, which is the most incredible TV show people will ever see.”

Peacemaker is set to premiere in January 2022 with an eight-episode season. He’ll team up with three new characters, a mercenary named Murn, the character Vigilante, and a character named Adebayo.

Gunn wrote all episodes of Peacemaker and directed five of the season’s episodes. Meanwhile, Gunn is still working on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 after becoming re-united with Marvel. Check out IGN’s The Suicide Squad review where we praised Gunn’s irreverent take on the DC villain-verse.
