New Flash Set Photo May Reveal The Movie’s Real Villain
The Flash was filming on location in London today and with the cameras rolling less than 5 minutes from my front door I thought it’d rude not to head over and see what was going on. It proved to be worth the trip, as I got to see a scene being shot with Ezra Miller and Michael Keaton, a bunch of Central City vehicles on the streets, and Bruce Wayne’s awesome-looking black supercar.
However, there was one detail that almost went unnoticed in the excitement. Nearby were the actors’ trailers and make-up studio. These featured signs saying who they were for: “Barry West/The Flash”, “Iris West” and so on. But one simply (and enigmatically) said “Subject Zero”.
Check it out:
So, who or what is Subject Zero? Well, readers of the comics ‘Flashpoint’ arc (which this movie takes heavy inspiration from) may recognize the name.
In that story we visit a timeline where the government is secretly conducting ‘Project Superman’, an attempt to create extremely powerful supersoldiers. Lieutenant Neil Sinclair is selected to be the first candidate and is renamed Subject Zero, but as his vast powers develop he gradually goes insane and becomes a homicidal maniac. The scientists promptly shift their focus to Subject One, an alien who crashed into Metropolis known as Kal-El.
In ‘Flashpoint’ Subject Zero is eventually put down by Superman, The Flash‘s take on the character will likely be somewhat different. Even so, after seeing Barry Allen struggle to cope with the reanimated Superman in Justice League, he may have quite the fight on his hands if this character makes the leap to the big screen
Then again, if we’re traveling through alternative universes who knows what could be on the cards? Perhaps director Andy Muschietti might surprise us with an alternative version of Henry Cavill’s Man of Steel? Let’s hope we get more hints soon.
The Flash zips into theaters November 22, 2022.

Lou Ferrigno Says He Has The Best Superhero Body Of All-Time
Nobody has played the Hulk more often than Lou Ferrigno, and he’s also the only live-action version of the character that wasn’t created inside of a computer. Eric Bana, Edward Norton and Mark Ruffalo all got a considerable assist from the effects team, and in the case of the former it was actually director Ang Lee who suited up in the motion capture leotard for the 2003 blockbuster.
Ferrigno embodied the Marvel Comics superhero for 80 episodes of The Incredible Hulk spread across five seasons that aired between 1977 and 1982, before going on to reprise the role in television films The Incredible Hulk Returns, The Trial of the Incredible Hulk and The Death of the Incredible Hulk in 1988, 1989 and 1990.
After that, he voiced the green rage monster in the 1996 animated series and several video games, while he also made a cameo appearance in Norton’s Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster as a security guard, and did uncredited vocal work in The Avengers, Age of Ultron and Thor: Ragnarok.
The former bodybuilder recently took to social media and lavished praise on… himself, while throwing a little jab in the direction of the modern era’s big screen crimefighters who rely on costumes and CGI to get the job done.
Can’t think of another superhero that isn’t in costume or CGI.
Worked damn hard on my diet and exercise for the Hulk. Wasn’t going to let anyone down. The hulk was my hero as a kid as well #hulkseries #oghulk #nocgiinvolved #dietandexercise #louferrigno #dontmakemeangry pic.twitter.com/ulh3dbx2Qc

Of course, the most obvious argument to make is that Ferrigno starred in a relatively low budget TV show four decades ago, whereas today’s crop of stars headline mega budget epics that cost hundreds of millions of dollars to produce. You can’t deny that the 69 year-old was, and still is, an impressive physical specimen, but it wouldn’t be unfair to say that the idea of hiring a musclebound actor for the Hulk and painting them green to share the screen with Captain America, Iron Man, Thor and the gang in the MCU would be preposterous.

Dwayne Johnson Teases Big Red Notice News Coming Soon
For a little while at least, upcoming action blockbuster Red Notice will go down in the history books as the single most expensive Netflix original movie ever made, with a budget reported to be hovering around the $200 million mark, although it’ll lose that crown in short order to Joe and Anthony Russo’s mega budget spy thriller The Gray Man.
Looking at nothing but the cast and the core concept, writer and director Rawson Marshall Thurber’s latest stands a very good chance at toppling Chris Hemsworth’s Extraction as the platform’s most-watched in-house film. A-list superstars Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot headline the globetrotting crime caper as an Interpol agent, con artist and art thief respectively, drawn together on an epic adventure when the titular warrant is issued.
Big names, a bigger budget and a sky high premise are solid foundations for success, and all we need now is a trailer and release date to get the hype train rolling. Fortunately, Johnson recently took to social media and teased that some major Red Notice news is coming soon, as you can read below.
“Red Notice is the largest investment Netflix has made thus far in a film, and our relentless hard work is to ensure we make good on that investment for our Netflix partners, and deliver an awesome movie for our global audience. We have a big release date announcement coming up very soon…”
Red Notice was confirmed for a fourth quarter debut a while back, so somewhere around Thanksgiving or possibly Christmas is a safe bet, when that’s the ideal time to generate the largest possible viewing numbers given that so many people are going to be on the verge of a food-induced coma and huddled with their family around the television. It was positioned as the marquee attraction of Netflix’s 2021 sizzle reel for a reason, so let’s just hope that the finished product ends up as more than the sum of its hugely impressive parts.

Anthony Mackie Says He Originally Hated The Idea Of Becoming Captain America
From almost the second The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was announced, long before a single shred of plot information had been revealed, fans were convinced that the final episode was going to end with Sam Wilson becoming the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s new Captain America, paying off his interaction with Steve Rogers at the end of Avengers: Endgame.
On that front they weren’t left disappointed, but up until the finale, the series was focused on the larger notion of legacy. Sam was so reluctant to accept the shield in the first place that he ended up giving it away, only for the government to hand it straight to John Walker. Bucky Barnes wasn’t pleased with the decision, Isaiah Bradley didn’t care in the slightest, but it all worked out in the end.
However, in a new interview, Mackie admitted that he wasn’t sold on the idea at first, but based on the myriad of comments he’s made since officially assuming the mantle, he’s clearly embraced his status as the MCU’s resident star-spangled superhero.
“We never talked about that when the pitch of the show came about it. It was more so about the continuation about what was gonna happen with the shield, if it was gonna be Bucky or if it was gonna be Sam, Because at the end, Sam didn’t accept the shield. He told Steve, ‘It feels like this is someone else’s, it feels like it’s yours’. So at no point in time was he excited or looking forward to the idea of becoming Captain America.
So it was more so Kevin Feige and Nate Moore telling me, ‘We’re not sure what’s happening, so the show will be more about the idea or the archetype of Captain America, not you becoming Captain America’. So I was really confused leaving out of the meeting. But I wasn’t excited either. I hated the idea. I thought it was gonna be an awful idea.”
It’s an understandable reaction, when Chris Evans had become so intrinsically linked to the role over the course of his decade-long tenure, and there was always the chance audiences would reject the proposition of somebody else stepping into his shoes. The fact that folks were celebrating the one-month anniversary of Mackie becoming Captain America would certainly indicate that it was the right call in hindsight, and the actor is now fully established as the new Cap, with a solo outing announced to be in development the very same day The Falcon and the Winter Soldier‘s finale aired on Disney Plus, so he’s clearly in it for the long haul.

Black Widow Tracking For $90 Million Opening Weekend
No movie has opened to over $50 million at the domestic box office since Sonic the Hedgehog was released over sixteen months ago, although A Quiet Place Part II did come agonizingly close with a $48 million debut. Of course, that’s inevitably going to change when Fast & Furious 9 arrives this coming Friday, and two weeks after that Black Widow is guaranteed to follow suit.
The first feature length installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for two whole years may be landing on Disney Plus Premier Access the same day it hits theaters, but the biggest franchise in the history of cinema is still more than capable of drawing audiences back to their local multiplex in huge numbers.
The latest tracking indicates that Scarlett Johansson’s long-awaited solo outing will open somewhere between $65 million and $90 million, but most analysts are expecting it to end up landing closer to the higher end of those estimates. Worst case scenario it’ll end up as the third lowest-grossing opener in MCU history, with The Incredible Hulk and Ant-Man the only two of the franchise’s movies to ever earn less than $60 million across their first three days, but don’t discount Black Widow from flying much higher, despite the theatrical industry still operating at less than maximum capacity.
A hybrid release is definitely going to have an impact when you consider that Mulan and Raya and the Last Dragon both struggled theatrically, but fans will be glad enough that they’re getting to see Cate Shortland’s prequel, regardless of how they choose to watch it. Black Widow has been a decade in the making before you even factor in the fourteen-month delay, so hype and expectation isn’t something the studio should be worried about.

Robert Pattinson Reportedly Doesn’t Want To Share Batman
In the modern era where brands, properties, franchises and IP is king above all else, the idea of an actor gaining complete ownership over a role has become rarer than ever and increasingly difficult to achieve, especially when it comes to characters that find themselves rebooted and reinvented on a regular basis.
At this stage, it’s impossible to imagine anyone other than Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man or Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, but conversely, no matter how well Robert Pattinson performs in The Batman, everyone knows that he isn’t going to be the final actor to inhabit the costume on the big screen. In fact, he’s not even the only person that’ll play the comic book icon in 2022, with Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton currently hard at work on The Flash.
A new rumor, which originated from Reddit but did come from someone who has a reasonable enough track record, claims that Pattinson doesn’t want to share Batman with anyone. Not to sound too harsh towards the former Twilight star, but if we take the purported leak at face value then it looks like he’s sh*t out of luck on that front, with Tim Burton’s Caped Crusader and Zack Snyder’s Dark Knight sharing the screen just eight months after Matt Reeves’ reboot arrives.
Not only that, but DC Films president Walter Hamada, who’s still the man in charge of the big decisions for the time being, came right out and said there’s going to be two Batman franchises moving forward. It’s not as if Pattinson has the reputation and standing to take his Bat-ball and go home, so we’re getting three Bruce Waynes next year and at least two after that, which is an inarguable fact.
