Director of Marvel Studios’ groundbreaking “Black Panther,” Ryan Coogler, was detained as a possible would-be bank robber. Spoiler- he is not. This incident took place in January in Atlanta, Georgia where Coogler is currently in production on “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” According to reports, Coogler wrote a note on the back of a withdraw slip. He indicated a desire to remove an amount of cash (over $10k) from his own account, and requested discretion from the teller by way of not counting the cash at the counter. Pretty understandable, right? While fulfilling his request, the female bank teller claims an…

We are pretty damn excited to finally see a live-action Carrie Kelley!! Okay, so maybe it’s only in a The CW project, but “Gotham Knights” certainly has our attention. Earlier today, additional casting announcements were made for several notable DC Comics characters joining the series. As Variety reports: Olivia Rose Keegan (“High School Musical: The Musical: The Series”) will play Duela Dent. Described as abrasive, unpredictable and a little unhinged, Duela is, above all, a survivor. Born in Arkham Asylum and abandoned by her father – the most dangerous man in Gotham – Duela forged herself into a brutal fighter…

After Disney CEO Bob Chapek’s company-wide email regarding Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill, it was first on everyone’s mind during today’s shareholder Q&A. Chapek kicked off the portion with a lengthy statement, assuring that a meeting with Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is happening.He also pledged that Disney as a whole will be signing the Human Rights agreement, as well as a $5 million pledge to the organization. The very first question that was asked of Chapek was a letter from a Disney castmember. It is a wonderfully written statement and plea, and I’m hoping it gets released to the…

“The beginning is a delicate time.” Princess Irulan, is that you!? Apparently Oscar nominated actress Florence Pugh is in talks to join Denis Villeneuve’s upcoming “Dune Part Two.”Out of all the available roles yet to be cast, the one that makes the most sense is Princess Irulan, daughter of the Paddishaw Emperor Shaddam IV. She becomes a bit of a foil for Chani and Paul as things progress later in the source novels. In David Lynch’s seminal 1984 version of “Dune,” Irulan was played by Virginia Madsen.This casting would be interesting, as Pugh played opposite Timothée Chalamet in Greta Gerwig’s…

We really didn’t have ‘demon stone prison shattering’ on our 2022 bingo card. But it probably tracks with the year we’re having, right? Sessho-seki, the “Killing Stone,” which legend claims to be the transformed body of nine-tailed fox demon Tamamo-no-Mae, has split in two. The story of Tamamo-no-Mae and her seduction of Emperor Konoe was adapted in 1968 as anime film “Kyubi no kitsune to Tobimaru.” Those familiar with the stone and it’s location have said it has had small natural cracks forming for several years. But no one was expecting this level of erosion. The rope, which reportedly held…
