Death Note Actor Reportedly Eyed To Play DCEU’s Red Hood

According to sources close to WGTC – the same ones who told us a Green Lantern show is coming to HBO Max and Diana will have her Golden Eagle armor in Wonder Woman 1984, both of which were correct. – Warner Bros. is eyeing Death Note lead Nat Wolff to play the DCEU’s Red Hood.

The Red Hood is one of the most confusing characters within the DC Comics mythos. Not only has the identity been assumed by several different people, but he’s also been depicted as a hero, anti-hero and even a villain across different storylines. Historically, the Red Hood persona was adopted by Jason Todd, a former Robin who was brutally beaten and supposedly killed by the Joker but survived and returned to Gotham to seek revenge.

Ironically, the identity has also been adopted by the Joker himself. In one of his origin stories, The Killing Joke, the Clown Prince of Crime starts off a nobody who gets himself involved with the mob, and is forced to wear said hood for protection.

Wolff started off his career as a child actor on the Nickelodeon show The Naked Brothers Band, where he starred alongside his younger sibling Alex. In 2017, he landed the role of Light, protagonist of a Netflix Original crime thriller called Death Note. Based on the insanely popular manga series of the same name, the pic follows an exemplary high school student who one day finds a death note – a heavenly artifact that allows him to kill any person whose name he writes on its pages.

Hungry for power, Light uses this book to shape the world in his image. After killing a certain amount of people, however, law enforcement hire the world’s greatest detective to hunt him down. What ensues is only the most intricate and well-crafted cat and mouse game ever created.

Tell us, though, do you think Wolff would make a good Red Hood? Or did you have someone else in mind? Let us know in the comments section below.

Skydio says it’s not pivoting away from consumer drones, won’t weaponize its self-flying tech

If you’ve been eagerly awaiting the day when self-flying drone startup Skydio becomes a true competitor to DJI, you might taken today’s announcement poorly. You might have assumed that after two impressive drones that didn’t quite fulfill their full potential, Skydio’s decision to build its next flying flagship camera exclusively for the enterprise and military markets meant it was done with consumers entirely.

But Skydio CEO Adam Bry tells The Verge he’s just getting started — there are more consumer drones on the way.

“We have more products coming in that market that we’re excited about,” reveals Bry, saying the timing was simply right to expand into the enterprise market, too. In both markets, he says, the goal isn’t to try to beat...

New Avengers: Endgame Theory Connects Iron Man To Black Panther

A new fan theory about Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame suggests how Tony Stark built his nanotech suits for the battle on Titan and the Battle of Earth.

The journey of the MCU through the years has been one of evolution, even visually embodied through Tony Stark donning a fresh armor suit with new exciting features in every installment. This tradition reached its pinnacle in the penultimate movie of the Infinity Saga, where Iron Man revealed his nano suit. When the Avengers and the Guardians fight Thanos on Titan, we see the full range of Tony’s abilities in his new suit. And in fairness, it was pretty badass since he managed to challenge the Mad Titan, who already had four of the Infinity Stones. The founder of the Avengers changed his suit one last time in Endgame. While we didn’t see a whole lot of new features from Mark LXXXV, it did help Tony keep up against Thanos when the Big Three decided to take him on.

But how did he make these improvements in such a short span? Well, according to a new fan theory on Reddit, Tony had access to Wakanda’s Vibranium. Think about it; at the end of Black Panther, T’Challa decides to unveil his kingdom to the world and even share their technology with them. So, what stopped Iron Man from buying Vibranium and using it to advance his tech? He even repaired Captain America’s shield before returning it in Endgame, confirming that he indeed used Vibranium in his new machinations.

Iron Man and T’Challa rarely interacted, but it’d make sense of the king of Wakanda supplied his fellow superhero with a stash of Vibranium. And if not for that, another compelling evidence is the fact that the visual effects for Tony’s nanotech in both Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame are eerily similar to what we’ve seen in Black Panther’s suit over the years.

Tell us though, what are your thoughts on this theory? And do you like to see another MCU hero don Iron Man’s advanced suit in the future?
