It looks like there are more Marvel productions headed for the Disney+
platform, one involving a particular fan favourite character. Samuel L. Jackson
will reportedly reprise his role as Nick Fury in an upcoming Marvel TV series,
which will air exclusively on the platform. Kyle Bradstreet (Mr. Robot and Copper) will write and produce the series. Nick Fury is one of the
central characters of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, having had substantial
roles in The Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain Marvel and Spider-Man: Far From Home.
All
Star Cast For HBO Max’s No Sudden Move
Steven Soderbergh is putting together an impressive
cast for his next film, No Sudden Move.
The crime thriller which will air on HBO Max will be led by Don Cheadle and Jon
Hamm. The supporting cast includes Benicio Del Toro, David Harbour, Ray Liotta,
Kieran Culkin, Brendan Fraser, Bill Duke and Julia Fox. The film is reportedly
set in 1955 Detroit and will revolve around a group of small-time crooks who
are hired for a heist that goes wrong. Soderbergh previously helmed two films
for Netflix, which were High Flying Bird
and The Laundromat.
Aldis
Hodge Is The Hawkman
Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam movie
will feature a number of DC comic book characters, one of which is Hawkman. Now
it has been announced that Aldis Hodge will take on the mantle of the winged
superhero from the planet Thanagar. Joining Johnson and Hodge is Noah Centineo
who is portraying Atom Smasher. The film will also debut the Justice Society of
America with Cyclone as well as Doctor Fate, which have yet to be cast.
The
Lion King Part 2
With over USD1.6 billion generated at the global box-office, it was inevitable
for Disney to green light a sequel to the Lion
King. According to a recent report, the studio has tasked Oscar-winning
filmmaker Barry Jenkins (Moonlight)
to helm the film. The sequel may well be an entirely new story as opposed to a
re-telling of the direct-to-video animated features, The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride and The Lion King 1 ½. But then again, the live-action treatment of The Lion King was practically a carbon
copy of the original animated film.
