New York Comic Con just wrapped, and we’ve got updates from The Changeling, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, and Scott Pilgrim Takes Off. There was also some absolutely epic cosplay, so you should check out our slideshows of some of the great costumes we saw during the three days we were there. But don’t put your costumes away just yet, spoilers, we’re entering spooky season, and just getting started.
Lobo
According to Jeff Sneider on the latest episode of The Hot Mic podcast (via Coming Soon), Jason Momoa has been cast as Lobo in James Gunn’s DC cinematic universe.
It is true — Jason Momoa is Lobo. Done. Jason Momoa has been cast as Lobo, and that will be officially announced most likely … I would say around February. It has nothing to do with the strike — it has to do with Aquaman. So Aquaman’s got to do theaters, and then it’ll be on Max … after it’s on Max and has played for a week or two on Max or whatever, I think in February — maybe March at the latest — you’re going to get an announcement about Momoa as Lobo — especially if he’s part of the Superman cast.
Santa’s List
Deadline reports Jhené Chase is attached to direct Santa’s List, a new Christmas-set horror film described as “a festive Christmas version of your favorite slashers.” Set in Deep Haven, a town “known for its world-renowned Santa Claus festival,” the story follows Eve, a “big city detective” lured “back to her hometown” to solve the murder of her best friend. “With each passing victim, the killer seems to be closer to home than ever. Will she solve what ‘my true love gave to me’ before it’s too late or will Santa check the final name off his list?”

Lisa Frankenstein

Monsternado
A tornado carrying prehistoric monsters— including, but not limited to megalodon, pterodactyls, giant octopuses, and crocodiles — inches toward the east coast in the trailer for Monsternado, coming to VOD this November 14.
Doctor Who
Russell T. Davies revealed a yet-to-be-announced fourth 60th anniversary special was filmed in secret in the latest edition of Doctor Who Magazine.
Okay, it was July, this year. But as the summer began, I was thinking about the 60th and wondered, have we done enough? So I had an idea on July 5, sent a format proposal to the team on July 20, then three scriptwriters got to work, and now, just two months later, in the second half of September, we’re about to embark on a 6-day studio shoot of brand new material that will make you FIZZ! I promise!
