NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 200: "The Pandorica Opens" Is Up!

"Hello, Stonehenge!  Who takes the Pandorica, takes the universe!  But bad news, everyone, 'cause guess who!  Ha!  Listen, you lot! You're all whizzing about, it's really very distracting. Could you all just stay still a minute, because I! AM! TALKING!  Now, the question of the hour is, who's got the Pandorica?  Answer: I do.  Next question: Who's coming to take it from me?  Come on!  Look at me!  No plan, no back-up, no weapons worth a damn!  Oh, and something else, I don't have anything to lose!  So, if you're sitting up there in your silly little spaceship with all your silly little guns, and you've got any plans on taking the Pandorica tonight, just remember who's standing in your way!  Remember every black day I ever stopped you, and then, and then, do the smart thing: Let somebody else try first."

SHE-HULK Casts Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters

Don't make Tatiana angry.  You wouldn't like her when she's angry.

Deadline has revealed that the upcoming Disney+/Marvel Cinematic Universe TV series She-Hulk has cast Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters, the woman who becomes the sensational She-Hulk!

The news follows word that Kat Coiro will direct several episodes of She-Hulk, including the pilot, and Rick and Morty writer Jessica Gao will lead the show's writers room.

Maslany, 34, is a Canadian actress best known for playing multiple lead characters on the BBC America series Orphan Black and recently appeared on the HBO series Perry Mason as Sister Alice.  Her films include The Vow, Eastern Promises, and Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed, while her other TV appearances include episodes of Parks and Recreation, Alphas, Drunk History, Robot Chicken, and BoJack Horseman.

Created in 1980 by Stan Lee and John Buscema, Jennifer Walters first appeared in The Savage She-Hulk #1 as a criminal defense lawyer who is the cousin of Bruce Banner, the Hulk, and the daughter of Los Angeles County Sheriff William Morris Walters and Elaine (née Banner) Walters, who died in a car crash when Jennifer was seventeen.  

Operatives of Nicholas Trask, a crime boss who had crossed paths with her father, shot and seriously wounded her on the day that Banner visited her to tell her about his transformation into the Hulk.  Since no other donors with her blood type were available, Banner provided his own blood for a transfusion because they already shared the same blood type and DNA.  His gamma-irradiated blood, combined with Jennifer's anger, transformed her into the green-skinned She-Hulk when the mobsters tried to finish her off at the hospital.  She then used her new powers to take down Trask, who was killed when the earth-boring device he rode malfunctioned, taking him to the center of the Earth.

As She-Hulk, Jennifer possessed powers similar to those of her cousin, though at a reduced level, and possessed a less monstrous, more Amazonian appearance.  Eventually, Jennifer decided to retain her She-Hulk form permanently—preferring the freedom, confidence, and assertiveness that it gave her compared to her more timorous and fragile "normal" form.  After her brief solo career, she joined the Avengers for a time before temporarily replacing the Thing as a member of the Fantastic Four.

During the Civil War II storyline, She-Hulk was mortally wounded by a direct attack from Thanos and forced into a coma.  She eventually recovered, but due to the stress following the fight with Thanos, Jennifer started turning uncontrollably into her version of the monstrous Grey Hulk at different intervals.  Recently, She-Hulk became a member of the Avengers once again, but currently functions as brutish, green-skinned incarnation.

Maslany will be the first actress to portray Jennifer Walters in live-action, although the character has appeared in various animated projects, including The Incredible Hulk (1982) (voiced by Victoria Carroll), The Incredible Hulk (1996) (voiced by Lisa Zane and Cree Summer), Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes (voiced by Rebecca Shoichet), The Super Hero Squad Show (voiced by Katee Sackhoff), Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. and Ultimate Spider-Man (voiced by Eliza Dushku), and Marvel Knights: Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk (voiced by Nicole Oliver).

She-Hulk is currently expected to debut on Disney+ sometime in 2022.

ANT-MAN 3 Casts Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror

Kang is coming to conquer the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Deadline has revealed that the untitled third Ant-Man film starring Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly has cast Jonathan Majors as the film's supervillain, Kang the Conqueror.

According to the article, Peyton Reed, director of Ant-Man and Ant-Man and the Wasp, is returning to helm the third installment, with Jeff Loveness writing the script.  Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige will serve as producer.

Majors, 31, is currently known as Atticus "Tic" Freeman on the HBO series Lovecraft Country.  His other films include The Last Black Man in San Francisco, Da 5 Bloods, Jungleland, Captive State, White Boy Rick, and Hostiles.  In addition, he's appeared in the TV docudrama When We Rise.

Created in 1963 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, Kang the Conqureror first appeared in Fantastic Four (vol.1) #19 as Nathaniel Richards, a 31st-century scholar and possible descendant of Mr. Fantastic/Reed Richards, who became fascinated with history and discovered the time travel technology created by Doctor Doom.  Richards traveled back in time to ancient Egypt aboard a Sphinx-shaped timeship and became the Pharaoh Rama-Tut.  Rama-Tut's rule was cut short when he was defeated by the time-displaced Fantastic Four.

Embittered, Richards traveled forward to the 20th century, where he met Doctor Doom, whom he believed might be his ancestor.  He later designed armor based on Doom's and, calling himself the Scarlet Centurion, pit the Avengers team against their alternate-reality counterparts.  He planned to dispose of all of them, but the Avengers managed to force him from the timeline.  Richards then tried to return to the 31st century, but overshot it by a thousand years, discovering a war-torn Earth that used advanced weapons they no longer understood.  He found it simple to conquer the planet, expanding his dominion throughout the galaxy, and reinvented himself as Kang the Conqueror in The Avengers (vol.1) #8.

During Richards' first trip into the 20th century under the Kang identity, he met and battled the Avengers, capturing everyone but the Wasp and Rick Jones, and informed the world that they had 24 hours to surrender to him.  Jones and some friends pretended they wanted to help Kang, but double-crossed him once they gained access to his ship and freed the Avengers.  In an attempt to stop them, Kang released radiation that only beings from his time were immune to, but Thor used his hammer to absorb the rays and send them back at the warlord so that even he couldn't withstand them, and Kang was forced to escape.

Ant-Man 3 is currently planned to arrive in theaters sometime in 2022.

Matt Reeves Debuts THE BATMAN Teaser Trailer at DC FanDome

The Riddler wants to play a game with the Batman.

During the last panel of the DC FanDome: Hall of Heroes online event, Matt Reeves, director of the upcoming Warner Bros/DC Comics film The Batman, unveiled the first teaser trailer and gave us our first good look at star Robert Pattinson as the latest incarnation of Batman/Bruce Wayne.

The two-minute, 23-second trailer opens with the unsettling sound of duct tape, as a mysterious masked figure in black body armor pulls out a strip while he kneels over an unconscious man on the floor.  We cut to later, as the murdered man has been placed in a chair with his face completely covered in duct tape and the words "NO MORE LIES" written on the tape with a red marker.

As the sound of the Nirvana song "Something in the Way" begins to play, we gather the man is presumably someone important, as we see dozens of Gotham City police give way to Commissioner James Gordon (Jeffrey Wright) as he enters the crime scene.  "From your secret friend," he reads in a voiceover.

"Who?" asks Batman as he also enters the room, although we only see his black boots and cape.

"Haven't a clue..." continues Gordon as he shines his flashlight on some taped-up front pages of The Gotham Gazette and The Gotham Times that have the word "LIES" written upon them in large red paint.  We then see that Gordon is reading from a greeting card left by the murderer.  "...Let's play a game, just me and you."

Gordon stops reading, then asks Batman, "Any of this mean anything to you?"  He holds up a green envelope with is labeled "To the Batman".  Batman steps into full view as he slowly approaches the envelope Gordon's holding.

We then cut to the police speaking before a group of reporters in the street, while Bruce's eyes, smeared with black makeup, watch intently from the shadows.

Next, we hear the voice of Bruce's mentor and butler Alfred Pennyworth (Andy Serkis) tell Bruce, "You've become quite the celebrity."  Bruce enters the Batcave on a motorcycle and removes his helmet.

We glimpse Bruce rescuing a young boy as a car crashes into the inside of a church during what appears to be a funeral service for the victim.  A man suddenly appears with a cell phone taped to his hand and a note taped to his chest that reads "To the Batman".

"Why's he writing to you?" asks Alfred in a voiceover.

We then cut to a masked Selina Kyle (Zoë Kravitz), who slides down a rope from a skylight and begins to break into something.

We hear an electronically distorted voice say "IF YOU ARE JUSTICE, PLEASE DO NOT LIE" as we see Batman shoving some cops until Gordon intervenes, followed by Selina fighting Batman.  "WHAT IS THE PRICE FOR YOUR BLIND EYE?" asks the ominous voice, which presumably belongs to The Riddler (Paul Dano).

In another scene, Batman is confronted by a threatening gang wearing Joker-like makeup.  "What are you supposed to be?" asks the leader.

Batman begins to brutally pummel the leader several times, knocking him unconscious.  "I'm vengeance," he replies.

We see the rear rocket engine of the new version of the Batmobile, which looks like a souped-up muscle car, ignite as the engines rev up.  Someone states "Whoa!  This guy's crazy!" as Batman evades police by firing a grappling hook line upward.

The official logo for The Batman comes into view in block red letters, followed by a final scene of Bruce taking off his mask in the Batcave.  Over a computer, the Riddler's voice tells him, "You're part of this, too."

"How am I part of this?" asks Bruce.

"You'll see," replies the Riddler in an extremely creepy tone.

The Batman is currently expected to arrive in theaters on October 1, ?0?1.
