Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
According to a new report from The Cosmic Circus, both Tom Holland’s Spider-Man and Yuri Lowenthal’s incarnation from the PlayStation games are set to appear in Across the Spider-Verse.
The Crooked Man
In a recent Instagram post, James Wan revealed The Conjuring 2 spinoff movie focusing on the Crooked Man has been cancelled at New Line.
Throwback to my tall friend, the Crooked Man played by the incredible @jbotet. Javier’s movement was almost supernatural, some people knocked the character for being CGI.
I filmed him in slowmo and reverse playback — all old-school camera trickery.
And no, unfortunately the spin-off movie with this character isn’t happening. Outside of my control. But maybe one day. #theconjuring

Legends of Tomorrow/DC TV
In response to fans asking him to bring back Legends of Tomorrow on Twitter, James Gunn stated he’s instead focusing on “telling the Biggest Story Ever Told across multiple films, television shows, & animated projects” at DC.
Although our ability to interact on Twitter has been lessened due to the workload of our new positions, we are listening & open to everything as we embark on this journey, & will continue to do so for the next few years.

It seems like Zelma Stanton will run her own book store in the MCU, from this new set photo for #Ironheart!
This seemingly confirms the rumors of Regan Aliyah playing Zelma in the series. In the comics, she is a magic user who serves as #DoctorStrange’s apprentice/librarian. pic.twitter.com/0IOZHgVYiF
