Updates From The Marvels, The Flash, The Acolyte, and More

Hercules

During a recent appearance at the Red Sea International Film Festival in Saudi Arabia (via Screen Daily), Guy Ritchie revealed he’d like to direct Disney’s live-action Hercules sometime “within the next year”:

I want to be as busy as I fucking can [be]. I used to make one movie a year; I’d quite like to make three movies a year. Because I like it, it’s not hard work for me. Even coming here, we wrapped filming at 04.30, you’re on a plane an hour later; you’re here, you start working, you go on a plane, I’ll land, I’ll go back to work. As long as you’re not playing with jet-lag too aggressively, I’m fucking happy doing that.

The Marvels

John Wick: Chapter 4

Teen Wolf: The Movie

Paramount+ has also released a full trailer for its Teen Wolf movie premiering January 26.

Daredevil: Born Again

Deadline reports Michael Gandolfini has joined the cast of Daredevil: Born Again in a currently undisclosed role. However, the outlet suggests “it’s possible he plays an ambitious guy from Staten Island referred to as Liam.”

Loki

Deadline also reports Kate Dickey (Game of Thrones’ Lysa Arryn) has joined the second season of Loki in an undisclosed villain role.

Moonhaven

According to Deadline, AMC+ has “reversed its decision” to renew Moonhaven for a second season.

Star Wars: The Acolyte

In conversation with TechRadar, star Dafne Keen confirmed The Acolyte will be Star Wars’ first ever “Sith-led” TV series.

I can tease that it’s a prequel. No, I mean, as you know, it’s set 100 years before the prequel movies, and it’s kind of an explanation of how the Sith infiltrated the Jedi. It’s a Sith-led story, which has never been done before.

The Sandman

Neil Gaiman also promised The Sandman’s second season will introduce additional members of The Endless in a new video for Netflix Brazil.

National Treasure: Edge of History

Disney+ has released seven character posters for its Natural Treasure TV series starring Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Ghosts

Sam and Jay make a new hire in the synopsis for “The Perfect Assistant,” the January 5 episode of Ghosts.

Sam and Jay are thrilled when they find a highly qualified assistant for the B&B – however, their new employee comes with some surprising baggage. Also, Thorfinn tries to help his son, Bjorn, deal with a bully, on the CBS Original series GHOSTS, Thursday, Jan. 5 (8:31-9:01 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+*.
