George Clooney doesn’t want to don the bat suit with the rubber nipples again. Of course, we kind of know this, as Clooney has been self-deprecatingly dissing his own performance in “Batman and Robin” and the movie itself, seemingly ever since it came out in 1997.

The Flash, and were not involved in his controversial cameo in the film.In a new interview with Variety at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, Reeve’s children – Will, Matthew and Alexandra – told the outlet that they were not involved in the inclusion of his likeness in the Ezra Miller-starring 2023 film.

Of all the cameos in Andy Muschietti‘s “The Flash” (and there were a lot of them), Nic Cage‘s brief appearance as Superman easily soars to the top of the list. But EW reports (via Yahoo Entertainment) that according to the actor, what the audience sees of his Kal-El onscreen isn’t what he did on set.

Nicolas Cage has revealed that his cameo in The Flash was changed without his knowledge.Speaking to Yahoo! Entertainment, the Oscar-winning actor weighed in on the debate over the use of AI in movies before sharing some critical words about his cameo.“AI is a nightmare to me,” Cage said. “It’s inhumane. You can’t get more inhumane than artificial intelligence… I would be very unhappy if people were taking my art … and appropriating [it].”However, AI wasn’t responsible for his cameo in The Flash. The short scene towards the end of the film saw the actor de-aged and envisioned as a multiverse version of Superman inspired by Superman Lives – Tim Burton‘s cancelled Man Of Steel project from 1998.In the cameo, Cage’s Superman was seen fighting a giant spider while shooting lasers out of his eyes.

Yahoo! Entertainment Wednesday that he filmed a very different cameo as the Man of Steel for DC’s “The Flash” compared to the one that made the final cut. “First and foremost, I was on set,” Cage, 59, said, dispelling rumors that the footage of the “National Treasure” star was simply a repurposed costume test from Tim Burton’s never-made film “Superman Lives.”“What I was supposed to do was literally just be standing in an alternate dimension, if you will, and witnessing the destruction of the universe.” Cage continued. “Kal-El was bearing witness [to] the end of a universe, and you can imagine with that short amount of time that I had, what that would mean in terms of what I can convey.”“I had no dialogue [so had to] convey with my eyes the emotion.

Tim Burton has shared his thoughts on Nicolas Cage‘s cameo as Superman in The Flash, released earlier in the year – see what he had to say below.In the 1990s, Burton – who had directed 1989’s Batman and 1992’s Batman Returns starring Michael Keaton – was tapped to direct a Superman film led by Nicolas Cage titled Superman Lives. However, that film was scrapped just three weeks before it began filming, with the only public memories of the film being footage of Cage testing out costumed for the titular role.However, Cage’s take on Superman received a long-awaited revival earlier this year in the form of a computer graphic-generated cameo for The Flash. Now, Tim Burton has spoken out about the cameo.Speaking to the British Film Institute, Burton was asked if he had any regrets about not being able to push through with Superman Lives.

Every major filmmaker has a project or two that falls through the cracks and never gets made. But given the current superhero movie craze, one of the most popular of these unmade movies is Tim Burton‘s “Superman Lives,” with Nic Cage starring as Clark Kent/Kal-El.

After two full weekends of a decidedly underwhelming release, it’s not hyperbole to say “The Flash” is an unmitigated box office disaster for Warner Bros. Discovery.

according to IMDB’s Box Office Mojo.The Jennifer Lawrence-led flick centers around a 32-year-old bartender and Uber driver who accepts a job to date a 19-year-old from a Craigslist ad created by his parents.Rolling Stone said the A-List actress is “easily the best thing in this comedy about a woman hired to ‘date’ a shy high school senior — yet not even foul-mouthed, no-filter J-Law can save this mess.”“Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” crawled up to second place after being in third last week, earning 5.7 million. There was buzz from fans that a sequel to the flick would be released in March, but that rumor was dispelled from an anonymous artist who worked on the movie.“There’s no way that movie’s coming out then,” the employee dished to Vulture.“Everyone’s been fully focused on Across the Spider-Verse and barely crossing the finish line.

Michael Shannon recently reprised his role as General Zod in the new “Flash” film for DC Studios. This marks the first time the actor has had a starring role in a huge franchise film since the original time we saw Zod in 2013’s “Man of Steel.” And according to Shannon, that’s not by mistake, as the actor doesn’t really have any interest in acting in franchise films, not even a “Star Wars” feature.

Miller’s well-documented antics in the months following filming — it was the first time the actor had been seen in public in almost a year.Sporting a white suit jacket with black detailing and long wavy hair with a topknot and braids, Miller told “Flash” director Andy Muschietti on the red carpet: “I love you, maestro. I think you are amazing, and I think your work is monumental.”It was the actor’s first public comments since a raft of stories last year about erratic behavior in Hawaii and Iceland as well as their home in Vermont.Miller, who uses them/they pronouns, has been holed up at their Vermont farm for the past year while undergoing outpatient mental health treatment, their publicist told The Post.“The Flash” has gotten good-to-mixed reviews, with The Post’s Johnny Oleksinski calling it “good fun” and raving that Miller “is DC’s much-needed answer to Tom Holland’s embraceable Spider-Man.”Meanwhile, Twitter was awash with criticism of the actor this week, calling Miller an “abuser” and a “groomer,” but their rep said Miller is getting real help and is recovering.“This is not a publicity thing,” the rep said.
