Morbius
A new Spider-Man spin-off is getting set up! Oscar winner Jared Leto has been named to star in Morbius, a film based on the vampire villain of the Spider-Man universe. Director Daniel Espinosa (Safe House) is attached, and Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach are producing. There is not date yet for the film, but production is rumored to set sometime this year.
Wonder Woman 1984
Director Patty Jenkins released the first picture of Kristen Wiig as Wonder Woman’s nemisis, Cheetah, this week! The photo shows Wiig as Barbara Minerva, who becomes Cheetah, the shape-shifting archaeologist. Minerva appears to be in a museum looking at something fascinating, but there isn’t much more to the photo. Wonder Woman 1984 already looks awesome from the other photos that have been shown. The film will arrive next year, November 1, 2019.
