‘Supergirl’: Milly Alcock, Emilia Jones & Meg Donnelly Among Those In Mix To Screen Test For Role – The Dish

Sundance Film Festival premiere. It’s an interesting home for the documentary, because Reeve experienced his greatest commercial success playing the Man of Steel in the first four Superman movies, which Warner Bros. produced.

The Witcher star Freya Allan has told NME what to expect from the Netflix fantasy show’s upcoming fourth season, which introduces new lead Liam Hemsworth as the titular monster hunter previously played by Henry Cavill.Cavill played Geralt for three seasons from 2019, but announced he would be vacating the position in October 2022. It was widely speculated that he had made the move in order to reprise the role of Superman in upcoming DC films.

Thanks to his breakout role as The King in “Elvis,” Austin Butler is one of Hollywood’s current leading “it” men. And it comes with little doubt that Butler’s dedicated performance as Elvis Presley cemented him in that position.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director How do you choose between Tom Cruise and Quentin Tarantino? It’s a dilemma Austin Butler faced before his Oscar-nominated performance in “Elvis” turned him into a global star. During an interview on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast (via People) while promoting his new Apple TV+ series “Masters of the Air,” Butler confirmed reports he was in the running to star opposite Cruise in the blockbuster “Top Gun: Maverick.” “I ended up having to choose between going to the screen test for ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ or saying yes to Quentin Tarantino,” Butler said.

The first line of “Winner” says it all: “My name is Reality Winner.” This uninspired introduction to the character, an NSA employee who leaked classified documents surrounding Russian election interference to the media, sets the tone for what’s to follow. Susanna Fogel’s film is not actively bad, just aggressively bland.

Reality Winner is probably better known in Europe than the U.S., thanks in part to Tina Satter’s extraordinary arthouse film Reality (2023), which dramatized the 25-year-old Texan translator’s arrest in 2017 using the verbatim transcripts of her interactions with the FBI. Winner, a funny and surprisingly powerful biopic directed and co-written by Susanna Fogel, will go quite a long way towards raising her profile back home.

Jesse Eisenberg brought the villain Lex Luthor to life in the DC film universe, and the role has been passed off to Nicholas Hoult.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic The U.S. government decided to make an example of Reality Winner, giving the former NSA translator a five-year prison sentence. So it’s only fair that director Susanna Fogel should be able to make an example of her, too — only this time, to very different ends.

Is the era of the superhero movie over? After the MCU‘s rough year last year a string of poor showings to end the DCEU‘s run, it’s up for debate. But the worst may be yet to come for the genre next decade, even if James Gunn and Peter Safran‘s DCU franchise reboots goes well.

Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent Toni Servillo, who played Roman socialite Jep Gambardella in Paolo Sorrentino’s Oscar-winning “The Great Beauty,” will appear as Cosa Nostra boss Matteo Messina Denaro, dubbed “the last godfather,” in upcoming drama “Iddu” directed by Fabio Grassadonia and Antonio Piazza (“Sicilian Ghost Story”). After being on the run for three decades, Messina Denaro was arrested in mid-January 2023 outside an upscale medical facility in Palermo, where he had been undergoing cancer treatment for a year under false identity.

David Leon has reprised his role as DS Joe Ashworth in ITV's Vera after a decade away from the series, but he also starred in a forgotten TV role and had a football career. The actor, 43, who first starred in the ITV drama from 2011 to 2014, returned to his role with a bang on Sunday, January 7, much to the delight of Vera fans as series 13 kicked off.The new series also welcomed back Brenda Blethyn playing the titular detective, DCI Vera Stanhope, while Kenny Doughty, who played Aiden Healy and Ibinabo Jack, who portrayed DC Jacqueline Williams have not returned for this series.

Superman: Legacy is set to launch a new era in DC‘s film universe, and it will do so with several stars from the Marvel Cinematic Universe as part of its cast.

Just the other day, we noted that James Gunn has launched a multi-year expansion of DC Studios: five films, five TV series, and that’s already about as long as a ten-year plan that’s reportedly not all he has to unveil in his “Gods And Monsters” phase of his DC Universe reboot. But so far, only one film has a release date, “Superman: Legacy,” due in summer 2025, which Gunn will write and direct himself.

Casting is reportedly getting underway to find the new DCU’s Supergirl!

Rachel Brosnahan was cast as Lois Lane in Superman: Legacy and will be sharing the screen with David Corenswet.

Yesterday, Margot Robbie made headlines when she was interviewed by Variety and was asked whether she would reprise her iconic role as DC anti-hero Harley Quinn in the upcoming DC Studios plan, given DC is mostly rebooting and reimagining their film universe. And frankly, her answer was pretty evasive.

Are there outstanding questions about the nature of James Gunn’s DC Studios and what characters are moving forward and which ones aren’t? It depends on who you ask.

Phoebe Dynevor made a brief comment about auditioning for the role of Lois Lane in James Gunn‘s upcoming movie Superman: Legacy.

While “Deadpool 3” might challenge this notion somewhat—especially depending on its-cameos—when franchises change owners or deals end (see Disney buying Fox), often the past is thrown out, and new creators are tasked with starting over. We’re seeing that now with James Gunn’s DC Studios (that will forgo the previous DCEU), we’re seeing it mostly with all the 20th Century Fox Marvel properties that Marvel Studios/Disney will take in a totally new direction (“The Fantastic Four,” “The X-Men”).
