There could be more flashback shenanigans in the next Terminator. The arrival of James Wan’s Swamp Thing show has delayed another DC series. Arrow is losing another major character. Plus, get your first official look at the star of (and unsurprisingly named) Chilling Adventures of Sabrina series. To me, my spoilers!
Spawn
That Hashtag Show claims Jamie Foxx has been offered the lead role in Todd McFarlane’s Spawn reboot.
Jungle Cruise
According to THR, Paul Giamatti has joined the cast as a character only described as “a crusty harbormaster.”
Terminator
The Terminator Fans report Brett Azar, who played a younger model T-800 in Terminator: Genisys, has joined the cast in an undisclosed role. The outlet speculates Azar will once again play a more youthful-looking model of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s T-800.
Black Widow
Variety’s Justin Kroll reports Marvel has met with over 65 different directors eager to direct the Black Widow movie.
Fun fact: More then 65 directors have met for the BLACK WIDOW job. Marvel being extremely thorough on this one

Gambit
Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Simon Kinberg mentioned Fox is still trying to get Channing Tatum’s Gambit movie off the ground.
We haven’t had any discussions yet about what the Disney acquisition of Fox would look like for the Marvel properties because I think legally they’re not allowed to talk about it until it’s done. So no we haven’t talked about it all. We’re just moving forward as we move forward. Once Drew Goddard’s ready we’ll get into X-Force and, believe it or not, we’re still trying to get Gambit [starring Channing Tatum as the cajun mutant] up and running. The hope is to keep moving forward until we hear otherwise. To me, I have no idea what to expect but I think it could be really exciting.

Metropolis
Deadline reports James Wan’s fast-tracked Swamp Thing series for the newly titled DC Universe streaming service has derailed the 2019 debut of Metropolis, that Superman spinoff starring Lois Lane and Lex Luthor.
