James Gunn hopes to see Man-Bat in the DCU. House of the Dragon casts another major ally for the Greens. James Marsden discusses his surprising presidential role in Paradise. Plus, when to expect David Cronenberg’s next film. To me, my spoilers!
Untitled André Øvredal Project
Deadline reports Melissa Leo, Jacob Scipio and Lou Llobell have joined the cast of André Øvredal’s next horror film at Paramount. Though details on the story are under wraps, the script hails from Zachary Donohue and T.W. Burgess (whose only IMDB credit is the selfsame “Untitled Horror Project”).
James Gunn’s DCU
In response to a Man-Bat fan on Bluesky, James Gunn stated he’d be “disappointed if we never see MB in the DCU.”
The Toxic Avenger
Rejoice! Following the success of Terrifier 3, Macon Blair’s “unreleasable” Toxic Avenger remake will finally see an unrated theatrical release this August 29 through Cineverse. [Fangoria]
The Shrouds
Fangoria also reports David Cronenberg’s latest, The Shrouds, will reach theaters this April 25 through Sideshow and Janus Films.
M3GAN 2.0
M3GAN returns in a teaser for M3GAN 2.0, coming to theaters June 27.
Kraken
Elsewhere, a giant octopus scuttles a Russian submarine in the trailer for Kraken.
House of the Dragon
TV Line reports James Norton has joined the cast of House of the Dragon‘s third season as Ormund Hightower–”Otto’s nephew, Alicent and Gwayne’s cousin, and the Lord of Oldtown”–who “is presently leading the Hightower host in a march on King’s Landing to support his house against Rhaenyra.”
Paradise
James Marsden, who–spoiler alert–is revealed to play the president of a secretly subterranean version of the United States at the end of Paradise‘s first episode told The Wrap he’s eager to return for a second season despite–spoiler alert–biting it in season one.
I love this group, everything they do. I’m finding myself in the same situation as Dead To Me, which is, hey, I know I’m supposed to be around for one season, but how do we get to continue this party? I’d love to. I love Dan. I love his writing. Everybody on set is a kind human being that’s super talented, top of their game. It’s very rare to be a part of something that feels brave enough and courageous enough to take risks and to try to tell a story that maybe is gonna make us ask a lot of questions about ourselves and our future, and in a time where content is kind of risk-averse and you don’t get as many original stories anymore. I would love to do it again. I don’t know how that would work, but open to the suggestions.
School Spirits
Speaking with Screen Rant, actor Spencer MacPherson confirmed his character, Xavier, has a different point of view following his near-death experience last year in the second season of School Spirits, out today on Paramount+.
I think that the catalyst for Xavier’s development and character growth in the second season is this near-death experience and this connection that he has with the other side. I think that that makes them the only two that have that shared experience and draws them into this friendship.
YOLO: Rainbow Trinity
Finally, Adult Swim has released a trailer for the third season of YOLO premiering this March 9.
