After 30 years, the legendary Nicolas Cage finally got to play Superman. Back in the 1990s, Cage was all set to portray the Man of Steel for Tim Burton’s “Batman” followup, “Superman Lives.” The project was scrapped, with only a few photos and some test footage of the would-be Kryptonian superhero surviving. We never thought we’d see Cage don the suit again, until Warner Bros. Pictures released “The Flash.” Since the Andy Muschietti-directed “The Flash” is all about the multiverse, it provided the opportunity for Cage to finally play the role, if only briefly. But the actor now contests what appeared…
Studios have been champing at the bit to adapt the wildly popular “Gear of War” video game series into a movie. In November 2022, Netflix threw its hat into the ring, announcing both a live-action film and an adult animated series. During a recent interview, “Gears of War” creator Cliff Bleszinski was asked about how he felt about “Justice League” helmer Zack Snyder directing. While Bleszinski admitted to not being a fan of Snyder’s Netflix original film “Army of the Dead,” he point out that Snyder excels as a director when working with pre-existing IPs. “To be frank, I think…

Good news, “Sicario 3” is in the works. Even better news, franchise producers Molly Smith and Trent Luckinbill plan to bring Emily Blunt (“Oppenheimer”), Josh Brolin (“Avengers: Endgame”), and Benicio Del Toro (“Reptile”) back! This may come as a shock to some since Blunt’s character is missing from 2018’s “Sicario: Day of the Soldado.” As it stands, Del Toro is currently the most involved in the third installment of the franchise. Mostly because he recently starred in the Netflix original “Reptile,” which was produced by Smith and Luckinbill. But that’s not to say Blunt and Brolin aren’t still in on…

Get out here now,’ like kind of freaking out, kind of panicky, and I run out there and he goes, ‘There…
