DC Cinematic Universe
The internet, as it is wont to do, was all aflutter yesterday with speculation that Channing Tatum is abandoning the troubled Gambit film at Fox and hopping into the DC movie universe as a major hero. While Gambit has had more than its fair share of troubling rumours (including its original lead actor leaving!), the latest speculation comes from that most shakiest of sources: Twitter followings.
Newly-announced Flash director Rick Famuyiwa went on a Twitter following spree in the wake of his announcement, following many accounts associated with the DC movie universe… and also Channing Tatum, leading to the belief that Tatum is also connected to that universe somehow. Aside from the fact that following an actor on Twitter is usually not the most certain grounding for a rumour, Latino Review also reached out to a purported “deeply embedded” source within Fox who denied Tatum had left Gambit for greener, more comic-booky pastures.
Black Panther
Speaking at Wizard World Philadelphia recently, Sebastian Stan hinted that he may be involved in the movie, after Bucky was re-frozen in Wakanda at the end of Civil War:
I don’t know, man. I mean, there’s obviously a very clear answer but I’m not maybe [going to] say it, now. Where did he end up at the end of the movie? That’s the movie he should be in. I feel like that would be the natural… But I don’t know.
Thor: Rangarok
Jeff Goldblum talks about playing the role of the Grand Master in the movie:
He’s a hedonist, a pleasure-seeker, an enjoyer of life and tastes and smells. I thought, ‘I can do that, I’ll bet!’

Arrow
More Wizard World news, this time as Stephen Amell teases the current status of the next season:
Typically by now, I would have gone to the writers’ room and we would have had long, lengthy discussions about the upcoming season, but i wrapped Arrow, I had a really nice end-of-season dinner with Greg Berlanti, which is what we always do. We chatted about the good, the bad, the ugly, what’s coming, what’s happened, et cetera, et cetera. But we had that, and I literally haven’t been home since the beginning of May.
He also confirmed that the season will deal with Ollie’s history with the Bratva. [Comicbook.com]
