Superman: Legacy
James Gunn has confirmed Nicholas Hoult is indeed playing Lex Luthor in Superman: Legacy, promising his performance “will be different from anything you’ve seen before and will never forget.”
Yes, finally I can answer, @NicholasHoult is Lex Luthor in #SupermanLegacy and I couldn’t be happier. We went out to dinner last night to celebrate and discuss how we can create a Lex that will be different from anything you’ve seen before and will never forget. ‘But, James, we heard this weeks ago, why didn’t you tell us it was true?’ Because, although we were discussing it, it wasn’t final until a couple days ago and I don’t want to tell you all something that isn’t certain. Anyway, here’s to Lex (and Nicholas!), one of my very favorite characters in the DCU.
Uncharted 2
During a recent interview with The Direct, Mark Wahlberg confirmed a script for a second Uncharted movie is in the works and calls for him to regrow his end-of-movie mustache.
I’ve heard lots of different ideas. I know somebody’s written a script, and they’re still working on it, and it would consist of having the mustache the whole entire time. Which completely makes sense; obviously, in that final scene, I have the mustache.
I spent quite a bit of time growing it because, at one point, we tried to do it with a fake mustache, and, I don’t know. I just don’t have the confidence to pull it off. It just feels like there’s a big piece of tape over my mouth, and I feel ridiculous. I admire actors who can wear wigs and prosthetics and makeup and all that stuff. I’ve successfully worn one prosthetic, but that was long ago.
When I finally got the mustache, people really appreciated it. And it was a nice tag to the end of that film. So if we can make it better than the first, you know, I’d be open to it, but I only know as much as you do right now.

Daredevil: Born Again
During his recent appearance on BroBible’s Post Credit Podcast (via Coming Soon), Vincent D’Onofrio stated he believes Daredevil: Born Again will be released under Echo’s “Marvel Spotlight Banner” at Disney+, a new sub-label reserved for more grounded, character-focused stories unconcerned with the MCU’s wider mythology.
For sure. That’s my opinion, I imagine it would be. Nobody has said, ‘Hey, did you know this? This is happening’ — nobody said that. But it is of the same tone and feel [as Echo]. The attention that the big bosses are giving to it is extraordinary and Charlie [Cox] and I are just amazed at how much they care about this series. I can’t imagine it being treated any less.
