Russo Brothers, TBS Developing Quantum and Woody Series

Russo Brothers, TBS developing Quantum and Woody series

Deadline is reporting that Anthony and Joe Russo (Avengers: Infinity War) are developing an adaptation of the Valiant Entertainment — owned by DMG Entertainment — comic Quantum and Woody for TBS.

Quantum and Woody was originally published in 1997 and was co-created by writer Christopher Priest and illustrator Mark Bright. The comic’s characters were inspired by Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes’ roles in the comedy movie White Men Can’t Jump. In the comic, the duo are adoptive brothers who come together, after years of estrangement, by the mysterious death of their father. While investigating, the two brothers are accidentally imbued with powers. The characters were reimagined in 2013 by writer James Asmus and illustrator Tom Fowler.

The outlet notes that there were previous rumors that Joel McHale (Community) could star in the series, but no casting decisions have been confirmed.

Mike Larocca (Spy) will executive produce the Quantum and Woody series alongside the Russo brothers through their AGBO.

Valient’s other upcoming projects include the feature Bloodshot starring Vin Diesel for Sony, which will begin filming this month, and Faith, a live-action adaptation written by Maria Melnik featuring the superhero genre’s first plus-size female heroine.

If you don’t have 21 minutes to sit back and watch this film, save it for later and make time because this is one you’ll want to watch! Superman and Robocop take on Skynet in an insane adventure that feels like what would happen if Robot Chicken took itself seriously. Side note: I now want the Robot Chicken team to make a film with a scenario as crazy as this! If not DGDX Animation seems to be holding it down for the time being, so check out the video and give them some love!

Jamie Foxx is officially set to star as the titular character in the Spawn reboot film from Blumhouse and Todd McFarlane.

According to Deadline, Foxx finally took on the role after rumors that he was being being courted to play the popular comic book character. McFarlane, who created Spawn and started Image Comics, will be writing and directing the film.

Blumhouse, the company who will be producing the film, tweeted out a photo of McFarlane, Foxx, and studio head Jason Blum to confirm the casting news.

While the movie will be titled after Spawn, he won’t always be the character featured on the screen. In this take on the character, Spawn will be the kind of character that lurks in the shadows, only appearing from time to time in order to capitalize on his terror. Continue reading →

Micheal Keaton is Said to Be Reprising His Role of Vulture in SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING Sequel

Earlier today we learned that Jake Gyllenhaal was in talks to take on the role of Mysterio in director Jon Watts‘ Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel. Now, thanks to Variety, we know that Michael Keaton will be back in the role of The Vulture!

I wasn’t sure if we’d ever see the character again because it’s rare for a villain to show up more than once in the MCU. But I’m certainly happy to see that this villain will be back! He’s one of my favorites and in my opinion one of the best villains introduced in the MCU.

There’s no word on how big of a role he’ll play in the movie, but the Vulture and Mysterio do have a connection. In Spider-Man: Homecoming Vulture teamed up with Phineas Mason a.k.a. The Tinkerer to help him develop weapons. In the comic book, Mysterio teams up with the Tinkerer to help him develop gadgets to fight Spider-Man.

Maybe the two will find a way to team up against Spider-Man? There are no story details on the film, so all we can do is speculate about what the roles of these characters will be in the story.

Are you happy to hear that Keaton will be back as The Vulture, though?

There have also been rumors of Gyllenhaal replacing Ben Affleck in the DCEU for Matt Reeves’ The Batman, though this MCU casting leaves that in doubt.
