Willy’s Wonderland

Horrorscope

The Suicide Squad
According to Jai Courtney, James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad has “a different flavour” than David Ayer’s Suicide Squad.
I think it’s kind of got a different flavour. There’s a whole bunch of new characters. James Gunn has an approach to things that is uniquely his; he pulls a lot of that into the Suicide Squad world. And I think that it fits really well, and audiences are going to have a lot of fun with it.

The Flash
Showrunner Eric Wallace promises “a huge twist” at the beginning of The Flash’s seventh season, after shutdowns on filming predicated changes to the end of season six.
Because this is The Flash, there’s a huge twist at the end of every season, and that twist is now kind of coming in the middle of the [start of the] season. And that has really affected our storytelling for all of Season 7.
