Batgirl Star Leslie Grace Reveals Her Reaction To Getting Cast

The DCEU finally found its Batgirl this summer in the form of In the Heights breakout star Leslie Grace. Warner Bros. has been attempting to get a solo movie for Barbara Gordon off the ground for years, and now it’s finally happening. With Bad Boys for Life directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah behind the camera and a script by Birds of Prey‘s Christina Hodson, this HBO Max exclusive is now one of the most-anticipated DC projects for Bat-family lovers.

Grace’s casting was announced to the world in late July, and the actress herself privately found out the news in a sneaky but emotional way. The filmmakers asked the star to take part in “a final test” over video call and then emailed her over some new “text” to read. Though Grace was pretty suspicious about the whole thing, she told Variety in an interview that her “brain broke” when she found out she had actually landed the coveted gig.

“It was an incredible moment,” Grace said. “When I mean incredible, I mean the textbook definition of, I could not believe it. My brain actually broke when I got the news. The directors actually called me, and the producers were on the line. They called me under the pretense, or had me hop on a Zoom link under the pretense that I was doing a final test — that this was just another step in the process. It was the middle of the day, and I was looking crazy, and they were like, ‘Get on the phone really fast; this could be a final test or some news or something.’ So I hop on, and I only see our two directors, Adil [El Arbi] and Bilall [Fallah], who are so sweet. They were like, ‘Yeah, we just want to do this final test,’ but at the bottom I can see that there are eight participants, and it’s recording, and I’m like, ‘Alright, I don’t know what this is.’ And then they broke it to me like, ‘We just want you to read this text; we’re going to send it to your email.’ And I open it and it says, ‘I’m Batgirl, love Adil,’ and my brain broke.”

See for yourself what Grace had to say in the tweet below:

Warner Bros. previously pulled the same trick when Sasha Calle was cast as Supergirl in The Flash movie. At this point, though, it seems the stars are getting wise to the move, so this might not work a third time. Interestingly, both Calle and Grace’s castings are groundbreaking for the DC universe, as they mark the first time Supergirl and Batgirl have been played in live-action by non-Caucasian actresses.

Grace will be joined in the Batgirl movie by J.K. Simmons, reprising his role as Commissioner Gordon – Barbara’s father – from Justice League. This confirms that the film will be set in the original DCEU and won’t be connected to Robert Pattinson’s The Batman universe. Don’t expect Ben Affleck’s Dark Knight to show up, though, as Grace has revealed he’s not set to appear. She wouldn’t mind a team-up with Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn, however.

The Batgirl movie doesn’t have a release date as yet, but it’s one of several streaming-exclusive DC films on the way, including Blue Beetle and Black Canary.

Watch: Hawkeye Returns In First Trailer For The Disney Plus Show

Late Sunday evening, September 12th, Jeremy Renner confirmed some exciting news for Marvel fans. Renner, who plays Hawkeye in the MCU, shared a sneak peek of the title card for the upcoming series on Disney Plus, accompanied by an exciting announcement. Within hours, fans would have their first look at the show with the exciting drop of the Hawkeye trailer.

That time has now arrived, so grab your bow and arrows and Christmas sweaters and dive into the realm of Clint Barton as he takes on his next big adventure.

As the first look showed back in July, there’s a holiday theme to the series, at least in part, and that lines up perfectly with the November 24th release date. Fans have been waiting excitedly for more information about the series, and now the trailer is here! Check it out for yourselves above.

We have to say — we think it was worth the wait.

Seeing what Clint is up to after the loss of Natasha and the events of Avengers: Endgame is the sort of story fans of the Avengers have been waiting for. The last 10 years of films all led up to a breaking point, seeing our heroes putting the pieces back together gives them another ‘human’ element. A theme absolutely expected to continue here.

Hawkeye is available for streaming on Disney Plus from November 24th.

Benedict Cumberbatch Addresses If Doctor Strange Is The Avengers’ New Leader

With Iron Man and Captain America both bowing out in Avengers: Endgame, as things stand, the Avengers are currently without a leader. The question of who will take over as the new captain of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes is one that fans are hotly debating, then, but it’s a mystery that those involved with Marvel Studios are refusing to solve right now. Benedict Cumberbatch, for instance, is remaining tight-lipped on if Doctor Strange could get the job.

While speaking with Variety, the actor was asked if the Sorcerer Supreme might become the new leader of the team. The Spider-Man: No Way Home star intriguingly didn’t have a response ready to go for that question, instead replying with, “I’d have to think about that one,” with a knowing smile. See for yourself in the interview clip below:

Cumberbatch is one of the most reliable of the MCU actors when it comes to dodging spoilers, so this is just another instance of him keeping Marvel’s secrets safe. But can we take his refusal to comment as a sign that there is something to hide and that Strange really is “the new Iron Man”, as the interview puts it? Well, possibly. Strange certainly is a major central figure of the franchise these days, particularly seeing as he’s at the center of the exploration of the multiverse that’s about to occur.

On the other hand, there are a couple of other major contenders for the position of the Avengers’ next boss. Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel stands out, given her military background and rank, similar to Steve Rogers before her, which makes her a logical choice for team leader. The same can also be said for Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson, the new Captain America.

Maybe Doctor Strange‘s place on the team will become clearer over his next couple of appearances. First in this December’s Spider-Man: No Way Home and then in March’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

A Classic Brendan Fraser Film Is Now Available To Watch For Free

Beloved actor Brendan Fraser made headlines this week after one of his classic movies, Encino Man, (also known as California Man in the US) began streaming on YouTube Movies.

Fraser, who has been in the film industry for over thirty years, starred in the 1992 film alongside Sean Astin (The Lord of the Rings, Stranger Things) and Pauly Shore (Son in Lafraw, Bio-Dome). In Encino Man, Fraser portrays a character named Linkovich “Link” Chomovsky, a caveman from the first ice age rediscovered in 20th century LA after being dug up in a block of ice by two teens.

Brendan Fraser

Encino Man went on to gross over $40 million at the box office. Although the film performed well in theaters, talks of a sequel never happened. In early 2021, however, Pauly Shore, who played Stoney Brown in the teen comedy, vouched for Encino Man 2 in honor of the film’s 29th anniversary.

Shore said alongside a photo of himself and Fraser:

FULL FRONTAL FRIDAY!!! 29 years ago this weekend, Encino Man hit the big screen. Here’s a personal pic with myself and Brendan Fraser on the set. Peace Brendan, miss you. Hope you’re doing great in this crazy world. And you guys know what Brendans peace sign means right? Encino Man 2 doooooooddzzzz. Hit up Disney+ and tell them myself, Brendan, and Sean are ready for the sequel. Have a great Memorial Day weekend everybody. We’ll be wiezen the juice.

Following the success of Encino Man, Fraser went on to have a lucrative career in the industry starring in The Mummy franchise, George in the Jungle, Blast from the Past, Looney Tunes Back in Action, and Crash. Following a decade of smaller roles in films and shows, the 52-year-old was cast in a Martin Scorsese movie entitled Killers of the Flower Moon alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, and Robert DeNiro. In addition to the announcement, Fraser recaptured fans’ hearts and attention last month after tearing up in an interview when he was told that people were happy to see him come back to acting.

Here’s How To Watch The Matrix Movies In Chronological Order

The Matrix franchise thrilled moviegoers everywhere this past week after the highly anticipated first teaser trailer for The Matrix Resurrections was released.  

As the excitement surrounding the film’s fourth installment builds, many who have yet to embark on, or want to revisit the sci-fi saga, may be wondering how to watch the movies in order.

The original 1999 Matrix film, starring Keanu Reeves, Carrie Anne Moss, and Laurence Fishburne, told a story about a virtual dreamworld orchestrated to keep human beings under control. Reeves’ character Neo, alongside Anne Moss and Fishburne’s Trinity and Morpheus respectively, come together in a quest to free humanity from the grip of malevolent artificial intelligence.

The Matrix‘s initial success led to two direct sequels, Reloaded and Revolutions, released in May and November 2003 respectively. The Animatrix, an animated anthology released between both, showcased various crucial moments in the franchise’s history. Courtesy of Decider, listed below is every Matrix film and animated short (in chronological order) fans can watch prior to The Matrix Resurrections‘ release on December 22. All are available to stream on HBO Max.

Strange’s Arc In Doctor Strange 2 Reportedly Revealed

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness promises to be maybe the single most important entry in Phase 4 of the MCU as so many other productions are leading into it – including WandaVision, Loki and this December’s Spider-Man: No Way Home. Though it’s coming out in just over six months’ time, Marvel has yet to reveal much about Benedict Cumberbatch’s second solo outing as the Sorcerer Supreme, but a new report claims to unveil the truth of Strange’s personal arc in the much-anticipated sequel.

According to The Cosmic Circus, the hero’s character arc in the movie will center around a moral dilemma he will face that concerns his duties as Master of the Mystic Arts, but also his ethics as a former doctor. The outlet claims that Strange will face an “internal struggle” as an individual will emerge who has the potential to destroy all reality, and it is seen as Strange’s job as Supreme to kill this person before they can cause such harm. But the Hippocratic Oath Strange swore as a surgeon demands that he protect life, not end it.

The Cosmic Circus confirms that they’ve heard this individual is none other than the Scarlet Witch. Agatha Harkness’ prophecy about Wanda Maximoff will apparently come true and she will put the whole multiverse in danger. As the film progresses, her power grows and Strange must decide whether to try and save the life of his fellow Avenger or break his Hippocratic Oath and execute her in order to save reality. This report also notes that Doctor Strange 2 is set two years after the events of WandaVision.

We’d recommend holding off on taking this report as factual, but it does sound like it could be a strong arc for the character and it would cleverly link together both sides of his identity, and explain how Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda fits into the story. All in all, Sam Raimi’s MCU debut promises to be an unmissable entry in the MCU. Catch Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness when it hits theaters on March 25th, 2022.

Here’s Why Ryan Reynolds Will Never Meet Scarlett Johansson In The MCU

Ryan Reynolds‘ Deadpool will soon make the leap from Fox’s X-Universe into the MCU. This will mean Reynolds shares a cinematic universe with his ex-wife Scarlett Johansson, who plays Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow. But, as pointed out by Looper, there’s a tonne of on and off-screen reasons why Wade and Natasha won’t cross paths – most of which should be very obvious.

First up is that Johansson’s heroine died in Avengers: Endgame and the MCU’s new Black Widow will be Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova. Natasha’s death was definitive, so given that Deadpool isn’t expected to reappear until 2023 at the earliest, her being a rotting corpse on the other side of the universe likely prevents a team-up.

Even so, the recent opening-up of the MCU multiverse could theoretically allow an appearance from an alt-Natasha from another timeline. But that’s not going to happen either, as Johansson conclusively cut ties with the Mouse House when she publically sued them for loss of earnings and breach of contract due to Black Widow‘s simultaneous VOD release. Word is that she’s burned her bridges for good, and they don’t want her back.

Then there’s the fact that, despite the former couple being on relatively good terms, it’s understandable that Reynolds and Johansson don’t want to spend time working together after their divorce.

Judging by Lake Bell voicing Natasha on What If..? Johansson is definitively retired from the MCU and won’t return. Florence Pugh’s Yelena will appear in Hawkeye on Disney Plus later this year and Ryan Reynolds‘ Deadpool 3 is in development with Bob’s Burgers writers Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin on script duties, aiming for a summer 2023 release.

Warner Bros May Be Trying To Suppress Zack Snyder’s Justice League Blu-Ray Release

Zack Snyder’s Justice League was a big hit for HBO Max. The director’s most ardent critics had to eat humble pie, there was so much interest HBO Max crashed, and it shot to the top of the streaming charts around the world. All this was supreme vindication for the dogged fans who campaigned to #ReleaseTheSnyderCut.

But this success left Warner Bros. in a difficult position. They’ve spent the last few years moving away from Zack Snyder’s plans for the DCEU, with The Batman heading to screens next year and a J.J. Abrams-produced Superman movie in the pipeline. But, after the cliffhanger ending of Justice League, audiences are clamoring to see these plot lines resolved and the SnyderVerse restored.

Conspiracy theories have abounded that HBO Max executives were instrumental in getting the Snyder cut to screens, having to go over the heads of Warner Bros, who wanted to see it permanently buried. Now, in an interesting twist, Screen Rant has noticed that the trailer for the Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD release of the Snyder cut has been left unlisted on their official YouTube channel.

Cyborg star and WB critic Ray Fisher commented on the move on Twitter with a smirking face emoji, indicating that he also believes this is an intentional jab at the movie from the studio.

This isn’t the only passive-aggressive move from WB. Earlier this year, eyebrows were raised after they posted a trailer for the awful original cut of Justice League soon after the Snyder cut landed. I’d like to think that these incredibly highly paid executives aren’t basically petty little children, but let’s face it, the evidence is mounting up.

With Snyder focusing on his Netflix work it’s looking unlikely that the SnyderVerse will continue, but then I assumed that Zack Snyder’s Justice League would never see release, so who knows?
