The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a great example of how to build a long-running story with superheroes in movies and TV shows, but it’s not perfect. In its early phases, the MCU focused on heroes with more realistic powers, and some of its strongest characters, like Thor and the Hulk, seemed to become weaker as the story went on. This is a different approach than DC Comics has taken with its superhero universe.
Tom Selleck portrayed Frank Reagan for all 14 seasons of the show, which ran from 2010 to 2024. He starred with actors like Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, and Will Estes. The series successfully blended police procedural action with family drama, becoming a popular program for CBS. Selleck has expressed confusion over the cancellation, as the show consistently maintained strong viewership. He recently shared his thoughts with Hour Detroit, stating:

When Prey came out on Disney+ in 2022, many fans of the Predator franchise were disappointed it didn’t get a traditional movie theater release, believing it could have been a big success in cinemas.

She emphasized that it won’t be a reboot, but rather a continuation of the original story.

She also stated that while the show aims to be accessible to new viewers, it will remain respectful of the original series and may include appearances from familiar faces. Zhao then added:

Based on George R.R. Martin’s history of the Targaryen family, the show features new families competing for control of the Iron Throne.

Okay, so Clayface is a Batman villain who’s been around since the 1940s in the comics – a lot of different people have played the role over the years. But get this – the new movie is going to be his first time appearing in a live-action film! It’s a pretty unexpected addition to the DCU lineup, honestly, and they’re going for a really cool body-horror vibe with it, which I’m totally here for. They brought in Tom Watkins to direct a script by Matt Flanagan, and this actor Tom Rhys Harries is going to play Clayface. I’ve been following the news and it just wrapped filming, so it’s coming out next September! Even though this is Clayface’s big screen debut, there’s still tons of great stuff to check out in other forms of media while we wait. I’ve been digging around for the best, and I’m excited to share what I’ve found!
