New Gods
Ask the nearest Mother Box to get you some pinches of salt to take this with, but We Got This Covered alleges that Ava DuVernay’s New Gods movie will primarily focus on Mister Miracle and Big Barda — the son of New Genesis’ Highfather, traded to be raised as Darkseid’s son as part of a peace treaty, and a powerful member of the Apokoliptian Female Furies — as they fall in love and attempt to flee their lives in the fourth world to find a home on Earth.

Hannibal
In a recent interview with Bloody Disgusting, Mads Mikkelsen revealed Bryan Fuller is still actively seeking a new home for Hannibal.
I think there’s always new hope. I haven’t heard anything specific. I know [show creator] Bryan [Fuller] is still working on some ideas where we can find a new home for this. I also have a strong feeling that everybody who was involved in it would gladly pick up the glove again if that happens. I don’t know where they looked. That is above my paycheck, but I know they’ve been talking to different studios.
Mikkelson also stated Fuller is hoping to secure the film rights to Silence of the Lambs.
I know that [Fuller] was working to get the rights to Silence of the Lambs so he could get in there and use some of those characters for his own universe. I have a hunch that might be where we’re going.
