Over the past few days, we've been bringing you some roundups of Marvel movie news which aren't necessarily big enough to make an entire articles out of but still something we know you'll be interested in. However, we don't want DC fans to feel left out and, thankfully, there's now some great pieces we can share with you about everything going on in the DCEU.
The Batman most dominates things here as we learn more about The Riddler, see director Matt Reeves' reaction to Paul Dano playing the character, and even get some Catwoman fan-art!
We also have more from Jesse Eisenberg about Lex Luthor and Margot Robbie's Disney hopes.
There's a lot to delve into here so what are you waiting for? To check out all these great DC news bits, all you guys have to do is click on the "View List" button below...
No, Josh Gad Isn't Playing The Penguin
Talks between Jonah Hill and Warner Bros. have broken down so the actor will not be playing The Penguin in
The Batman after all (it sounds like he was far more interested in being The Riddler).
Surely, that leaves the door open to fan-favourite choice, Josh Gad, right?
Well, it certainly doesn't sound that way based on the Tweet above and, at this point, it seems like he's simply too obvious a choice to play the iconic DC Comics villain for the studio regardless.
Jesse Eisenberg Still Wants To Play Lex Luthor
During a recent interview to promote
Zombieland: Double Tap, Jesse Eisenberg told
MovieWeb that he's still open to returning as Lex Luthor...despite the odds of that actually being fairly slim!
"Oh, 1000 percent. Which is not even… that’s ten pies. Ten full pies. Yeah, of course. Yeah. I loved it so much. I mean I was the shyest kid in the world. To get to play a mean character with flamboyance like that is exhilarating. I probably won’t do another. I don’t know if they’re making another one where I would be in it. But no, I loved it. It was great. I’m so happy I got to do it. Ever."
That closes the door on speculation about an Injustice League movie or something similar and it's clear now that
Justice League's post-credits scene was really a tease for absolutely nothing.
Catwoman Fan-Art
We're more than likely still a long way off from getting a first look at any of the characters in
The Batman but this very cool piece of fan-art offers at least an idea about what Zoe Kravitz could end up looking like suited up as Selina Kyle. There's certainly a lot of excitement to see the actress in the role and that costume reveal should be very interesting (fans are hoping for comic accuracy).
An Intriguing Change To The Riddler
Matt Reeves is clearly looking to previous
Batman movies for inspiration as The Riddler will be known by Edward Nashton rather than Edward Nygma in
The Batman. It could be that he's a major fan of
Batman Forever but it seems more likely that he just wanted a more realistic name.
After all, if this serves as The Riddler's origin story as well, it really wouldn't take the World's Greatest Detective long to figure out that the guy called E. Nygma is the one behind everything!
Margot Robbie Could Make The Leap From DC To Disney
Birds of Prey star Margot Robbie was recently featured in
The Hollywood Reporter's 100 Most Powerful People in Entertainment list and among the questions they asked was what she would do if she got her hands on Disney CEO Bob Iger's cell phone.
"I'd probably just return it to him and see what Disney IP I could get my hands on," she admitted, possibly making her interest in Disney known.
It would certainly be a lot of fun to see Robbie in a live-action Disney movie or possibly even something from Pixar. Despite her role as Harley Quinn, her appearing in the MCU would also be rad!
