Horse Really Taken With Co-Star Liam Neeson
We already knew Liam Neeson was a Jedi master with a very particular set of skills, but it turns out he’s also got quite an affinity for horses, if a recent anecdote is anything to go off of.
In an interview with Page Six, Neeson discussed his upcoming film The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, a six chapter western anthology. In this film, he takes lead in the Meal Ticket chapter, playing an impresario who travels with an artist in a horse-drawn wagon. Apparently, Neeson and this horse go way back.
“I play a traveling impresario,” said Neeson. “The odd thing is the horse who pulls my wagon knew me. You won’t believe it. I’m saying this horse knew me. He actually remembered me from another Western we made a while back. I love animals. When we worked together before I took special care of him. I fed him treats, gave him apples."

Black Lightning Just Did One Thing Superhero Shows Rarely Do
This interview contains spoilers for the Black Lightning Season 2 premiere, titled "The Book of Consequences: Chapter One: Rise of the Green Light Babies." A full review will be posted later tonight.
In countless comic book movies and TV shows, cops who are tight with a superhero are usually the last to figure out their identity (unless it's purposefully revealed to them), despite the fact that they're supposed to follow clues and solve mysteries for a living.
The Black Lightning Season 2 premiere dismantled that trope pretty quickly, with Jefferson's long-suffering friend and neighbor, Bill Henderson, finally figuring out Jefferson Pierce's secret and confronting him over his deception. It's a heartbreaking moment, seeing the trust between the two men shatter after decades of friendship, and star Cress Williams tells IGN it'll be a long road back for Jeff and Bill - if their bond can be repaired at all.

Fortnite’s First Action Figure Revealed!
It was recently announced that McFarlane Toys would be producing collectibles based on Fortnite, including action figures and role-play items, and we just got our first look!
Here at New York Comic Con, Todd McFarlane himself revealed the very first action figure prototype of Cuddle Team Leader!
There's no price point or specific street date yet, but McFarlane is hard at work getting these out before the end of the year.

This Suicide Squad Comic Is Perfect for James Gunn’s Sequel
With news that fired Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 helmer James Gunn is writing, and possibly directing, the followup to Suicide Squad, we’re turning to the comics to see where Gunn might take Task Force X next. The report on Gunn’s big move from Marvel to DC said that Gunn isn’t doing a direct sequel as much as a revamping the property, and it’s unclear if the same cast will return.
With those details in mind, it’s hard to think of a better comic for Gunn to adapt than Suicide Squad: From the Ashes.

Birds of Prey May Be Why Suicide Squad 2 Lost Its Director
Suicide Squad has a new writer in James Gunn, who may also be its new director, and a rumor has now emerged that purportedly explains what happened to the previous writer/director.
Gavin O'Connor (The Accountant) was said to be DC and Warner Bros.' top choice to helm the supervillains-turned-good-guys sequel as of last month. That's clearly no longer the case, and Variety Film Reporter Justin Kroll claims to have the scoop on why the change was made.
