Rumor Mill


Confirmations/Refutations

Star Trek 4 - Shatner says no. https://twitter.com/WilliamShatner/status/1360640801403858944?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw 


Mandalorian

MIGHT BE CANCELLED? Well not really, but Pedro might be on the outs. With the news of his new gig on HBO Max’s Last of Us it seems that his heart isn’t with the mouse anymore.

ALSO

Gina Carano is rumored to not be interested if Lucasfilm were to offer her a job again.


Constantine

Further evidence that JJ’s DC Universe is probably different than the mainline universe, as he is said to be looking for a BIPOC for the Constantine role in JLD. With other iterations of the character said to be looking for a blonde british gentleman like in the books.


Batman

Robert Pattinson got Zoe Kravitz pregnant??? Eh…

ALSO

Thomas and Martha VILLAINS? Well at least shady Gotham types.


Secret Six

Rumor has it that the series is back on the table for WB and HBO Max. Which version? Who knows…


Kraven

Now Karl Urban is being rumored for the role.


Blade Runner

New live-action series in the works? Alcon Entertainment has no streaming ties, so it COULD go to the highest bidder, though they do have a previously existing relationship with HBO and WB.


Twisted Metal

Will Arnett is said to be lending his voice to Sweet Tooth for the animated series.


Silent Hill

ANOTHER rumor saying Konami will announce a new game/series in the next month or 2. This time they will reveal they have farmed the development out.
