He doesn't want to. He said that since he finished his Batman trilogy he's not interested in doing superhero stories anymore.
I love Peter Dinklage, but his comments about the Snow White remake really did a lot of damage. Sure, it sucks that most of the roles that actors with dwarfism get are elves, goblins, leprechauns etc. in fantasy and sci-fi productions, but it's even worse to tell them that they can't even play those roles anymore. He was basically pulling the ladder up behind him.
But I was never going to see the movie anyway, due to my overall disdain for the Disney live action remakes (with a handful of exceptions) and the fact that while Rachel Zegler is undeniably a talented actress, she's an absolutely insufferable human being. I bet the fact that she is very vocally pro-Palestine and Gal Gadot is not only Israeli, but a former soldier in the Israeli army, is gonna make that press tour a million kinds of awkward.
Maybe, but I get why they didn't do it. The Netflix shows were crime dramas first and superhero shows second, so having a guy with purple skin would have looked really silly.
Jesus, poor guy. It's awful what he has had to endure and what he is still enduring. I hope things get better for him and he comes out in a good place on the other side.
Ridley Scott has made it clear many times that he doesn't care about historical accuracy. In the new movie, they flood the Coliseum floor and fill it with sharks, which never happened in real life. In Napoleon, Napoleon Bonaparte is present at Marie Antoinette's execution, when in reality he was 600 miles away at the time. Scott has flat-out said that people who have a problem with this should "get a life".
Those things are cool, but the writing was terrible, the characters were flat, the acting was wooden, the dialogue was cringey, the CGI was questionable, the makeup effects were unconvincing and as a murder mystery it revealed too much too soon.
@MarvelSharky On the subject of Gladiator II, some years back Nick Cave (yes, that Nick Cave) wrote an absolutely bonkers script for it. It had the Roman gods bringing Maximus back to life and sending him to kill Jesus and his disciples to prevent the spread of Christianity. He would also have been immortal and gone on to fight in the Crusades, World War II and the Vietnam War before working at the Pentagon in the present day. I would love to visit the alternate reality where that insanity got made!
It's funny, The Penguin and Agatha All Along each had an episode that was basically one giant flashback and now Dune: Prophecy has just done the same.
@STARWARFAN1 The Acolyte had good fight scenes and a pretty cool villain, but unfortunately everything else about it sucked. This was my reaction when it got cancelled:
I watched The Warriors for the first time recently and it's become a bit of an obsession for me. I downloaded the video game (which came out in 2005) and spent a big chunk of the weekend playing it and I just ordered the book it is based on on Amazon.
@RJ Plotner Yes and Bill Skarsgård is playing the vampire himself, Count Orlok. They've been keeping him hidden in the marketing, only showing his shadow and closeups of his hands and eyes, so we won't get a proper look at him until the movie comes out.
It's a strange choice, though the movie is set around Christmastime, as you can see a Christmas tree in this image. Also, the Green Goblin, Galactus, Quicksilver and Cassandra Nova.
What is everyone most excited for about Christmas? For me it's a dark, gothic, period horror movie about a hideous vampire!

^Read the article, not just the headline. His conviction has not been overturned because the charges that were recently dropped were separate from that.
@Catpocalypse There's no way that Warner Bros. and DC Studios will hire him after the PR nightmare they went through with Ezra Miller. He's been fired from pretty much all of the projects he was attached to and the only thing he has lined up is a movie that Denis Villeneuve's brother is directing. Hell, rumour has it that Meagan Good is paying all of his bills, including child support for his daughter from a previous relationship.
Another rumour is that Mahershala Ali is going to play Martian Manhunter, which wouldn't surprise me given all of the setbacks with Blade.
Yeah, that's not happening. The fact that these specific charges are being dropped doesn't cancel out his previous conviction.
It's too ambiguous to say one way or the other if he is dead, which is by design. "He's gone" could just as easily mean that he has stepped away from everything and is now living a quiet and peaceful life.
