Denzel Washington in "Gladiator 2": Denzel Washington is set to make a significant impact in Ridley Scott's "Gladiator 2." The film, a sequel to the 2000 Best Picture winner, features an impressive cast including Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, and others, with some reprising their roles from the original. This marks Washington's second collaboration with Scott after "American Gangster." In "Gladiator 2," Washington plays a former gladiator who has become a wealthy businessman, supplying weapons, oil, and wine to the Romans. His character is described as wealthier than most senators, with aspirations that extend beyond his business, hinting at a complex and possibly morally ambiguous role.
Denzel Washington in Hannibal Biopic for Netflix: Denzel Washington is teaming up again with director Antoine Fuqua for a Netflix biopic about the Carthaginian general Hannibal. The film will focus on Hannibal's legendary military campaigns, including his trek across the Alps with war elephants during the Second Punic War. The project, written by John Logan of "Gladiator," is said to cover Hannibal's pivotal battles against the Roman Republic. This film marks a long-awaited opportunity for Washington, who had previously passed on a similar project over two decades ago due to family commitments. Washington and Fuqua will also produce the project, which is part of Fuqua's first-look partnership with Netflix.
"Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" Writer: Ana Nogueira has been chosen to write the script for "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow," a film part of the new DC Universe. Nogueira, primarily known for her acting roles in shows like "The Vampire Diaries" and "The Blacklist," has been shifting her focus to writing. This development indicates a fresh direction for the character and the franchise as a whole, as DC Studios continues to expand and explore new narratives within its cinematic universe.
"Superman: Legacy" Villain: Venezuelan actress María Gabriela De Faría has been cast as the villain in the upcoming film "Superman: Legacy," directed by James Gunn. She will play Angela Spica, also known as The Engineer, a character that is a member of The Authority.
"Mr. & Mrs. Smith" Series on Prime Video: The new series "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," created by Donald Glover with Francesca Sloane, is set to debut on Prime Video on February 2, 2024. Starring Glover and Maya Erskine, the series focuses on two lonely strangers who go undercover as a married couple for a mysterious spy agency. As they carry out their assignments, they inevitably fall in love for real.
Destin Daniel Cretton Exits Avengers: The Kang Dynasty: Filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton, known for directing "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings," has decided to step down as the director of Marvel Studios' "Avengers: The Kang Dynasty." This move comes as a significant change for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), particularly following the recent shake-ups at Marvel Studios. Cretton's decision to leave the project marks another major shift in the MCU's ongoing evolution.
Pedro Pascal Cast as Reed Richards in "Fantastic Four": Pedro Pascal, renowned for his roles in "Game of Thrones," "The Mandalorian," and "The Last of Us," has been confirmed to star as Reed Richards, also known as Mr. Fantastic, in the upcoming "Fantastic Four" reboot within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This casting decision ends much speculation and fan-casting, with Pascal beating out other rumored contenders for the role. The film, a key project for Phase 6 of the MCU, is scheduled for release on May 2, 2025. Directed by Matt Shakman, it will be a cornerstone movie leading up to the two-part "Avengers" saga concluding Phase 6.
