Welcome to episode 105…..



DC

The CW’s Black Lightning series will finally flash out and become thunder as it’s been announced that season four will be it’s last. THe series debuted back in January of 2018. Reports say that The CW asked the producers to put in a back door pilot for a PainKiller spinoff show. The final season will start in spring of 2021.


Wonder Woman 1984 will be coming out this Christmas both on HBO Max and theaters,it will be a one month only limited engagement on the streaming service and at no additional cost, after the month it will be available on Video on Demand before probably going back to HBO Max until the end of time. According to Variety, the reasoning for this was the fear that Wonder Woman would get stale if the sequel opened more than four years after the first Wonder Woman movie.

Wonder Woman Gal Gadot in a statement said about the release quote "IT'S TIME. We've all waited a long time for this one to come," wrote Gadot. "I can't tell you how excited I am for all of you to see this movie. It wasn't an easy decision and we never thought we'd have to hold onto the release for such a long time but Covid rocked all of our worlds. We feel the movie has never been so relevant and we hope that it'll bring some joy, hope, and love to your hearts. Wonder Woman 1984 is a special one for me and I can only hope it'll be as special to you too. We've put our hearts and souls into it. So... you can watch it IN THEATERS (they're doing an amazing job keeping it safe) and you can watch it on HBOMax from your homes. Sending you my love. Please keep safe and wear a mask. Happy holidays to all of us! Let the light shine in."



International markets will get to see Wonder Woman 84 a bit earlier than the US market; it will be released there on December sixteenth, it is unknown what specific markets will have theaters open when the film is ready to be released. 


The Flash has had to temporarly shut down productin after a crew member tested positive for Covid-19. The production has begun contact tracing. Apparently the person was asymptomatic.


HBO Max will be the home for Oscar Winner Ava DuVernay’s new four part limited series DMZ. DMZ was originally a comic book series from Vertigo that ran seventy two issues from 2005 to 2012 the series is set in a second American civil war and will star Benjamin Bratt and Rosario Dawson. Here’ s the official description quote "In the near future, America is embroiled in a bitter civil war, leaving Manhattan a demilitarized zone (DMZ), destroyed and isolated from the rest of the world. Leaping off the pages of the popular comic, "DMZ" chronicles the harrowing journey of fearless and fierce medic Alma Ortega (series star Rosario Dawson), who sets out on a harrowing journey to find the son she lost in the evacuation of New York City at the onset of the conflict. Throwing gasoline on the flames of that conflict is Parco Delgado (series star Benjamin Bratt), the popular - and deadly - leader of one of the most powerful gangs in the DMZ. He wants to rule this new world - and will stop at nothing to secure that outcome. In this adrenalized and expansive drama which examines a stark political and cultural divide in American society, Alma must contend with the gangs, militias, demagogues and warlords that control this lawless no man's land. In doing so, she becomes the unlikely source of what everyone here has lost... hope." unquote The pilot episode was in production before CoVid shut things down and the rest of the episodes should be produced in 2021.


Marvel

Black Panther 2 will go in front of the cameras in July of 2021.

Disney will be making a Deadpool 3 this time the script will be written by Bob’s Burgers Veterans Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Loeglin. Apparently they fit what Ryan Reynolds and Disney were looking for.  Most likely the film will not be under the Disney banner, but the 20 Century Banner. Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld commented on twitter about the news quote Super Excited for Deadpool 3 but, consistent with what I’ve stated, still maintaining you should prepare for a bit of wait as it would be 2 years from start of filming in any perfect condition.

"Our mission with Sonjaversal is to go as big as possible, and our only enemy is restraint. That said, I'm just the writer, and I can say things like 'Red Sonja jumps out of Blue Sonja's helicopter to drive her sword through Giant Ape Sonja's gargantuan skull!' all day, but it means nothing without Pasquale to make it look amazing. I can't wait for everyone to see what he does with this comic." unquote The series launches in February.
