There are new rumors about the comics that could influence James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad. Kaley Cuoco gives us a tease of the Harley Quinn animated series. Plus, Danny DeVito meets Dumbo in new clips from the Disney remake, get a glimpse of Arrow’s far future, and even more What We Do in the Shadows teasers. Spoilers, away!
Invisible Man
That Hashtag Show alleges Armie Hammer and Alexander Skarsgård are Universal’s top choices to play Adrian Griffin, “a billionaire sociopath who made his money by developing an invisibility suit for the Department of Defense” in the new Invisible Man. Wayyyy less interesting than those rumors of Elisabeth Moss starring!
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle 2
Deadline confirms Rhys Darby will reprise his role as the player’s guide, Nigel, in Jake Kasdan’s Jumanji sequel.
The Mother Code
According to Variety, Amblin has acquired the film rights to Carol Stivers’ novel, The Mother Code, concerning a future in which unborn children are raised and cared for by robots after a bio-weapon creates a generation of infertile humans. Nightflyers co-producer Amy Louise Johnson will write the script.
The Suicide Squad
THR reports James Gunn’s sequel to Suicide Squad “draws heavily from Jon Ostrander and Kim Yale’s ‘80s run,” before noting Idris Elba’s Deadshot will presumably have a more fatalistic personality than Will Smith’s fatherly incarnation.
Hellboy
Daniel Dae Kim mutates into a were-jaguar in a pair of new Hellboy TV spots.
Dumbo
Danny DeVito meets Dumbo in the latest clip, while a new featurette takes us behind-the-scenes of the film’s expansive carnival, Dreamland.
Us
Meanwhile, two new clips from Jordan Peele’s Us prove you can’t argue with your own doppelganger. We’ve got our non-spoilery review up now!
Pet Sematary
We also have a new TV spot for the Pet Sematary remake.
#PetSematary is almost here, which means it's almost time to never sleep again.
