Off-brand superheroes thread.

I read the comic The Boys and it was pretty great. I'm looking forward to the series.

I caught a bit of the trailer and it looks interesting.

Amazon is developing "Paper Girls".
It looks like "Stranger Things", meets "Back To The future".

Kevin Hart is going to be in "Night Wolf".
It's "Meet The Parents", with superheroes.
Kevin Hart is Ben Stiller, and the dad-in-law is Night Wolf.

Kevin Smith is showrunning a Masters Of The Universe anime that continues the original 80's series.

Margot Robbie's production company is optioning a Tank Girl reboot.
No word on if Robbie would star.

I dunno, just like Christopher Reeve IS Superman, and Robert Downey IS Iron Man, and Hugh Jackman IS Wolverine, Lori Petty IS Tank Girl.

Tank Girl reboot already has a director attached. Miles Joris-Peyrafitte.
Never heard of him.

Julius Avery is directing this.

When are the wonder twins going to get their movie? They are more useful than aquaman. How about we really make people mad and make a handiman movie?

dO WHAT THEY DO IN ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT?

Vin Diesel as Bloodshot revealed as an action figure.
Powers wise, he's basically a fusion of Punisher, and Seven Of Nine.

Bloodshot trailer.

Channing Tatum is trying to get The Maxx made as either a movie or show.
Some of you may remember the animated series on MTV in the 90's.

Bloodshot trailer 2.

Some plot description and casting.

Stallone is Samaratin, a retired superhero being sought by a young boy, and Javon ‘Wanna’ Walton is the kid.

* A lost prequel character who created Castle Greyskull, and the Power Sword.
They made the prototype of the toy, and the mini-comic, but the toy line folded, and he got cancelled.
Smith is clearly re-canonizing him.

No way!

Wow!

He's using his daughter? He's never done that before.

I am Not Okay With This has popped on Netflix - looks like a merger of Carrie with Dear Diary. It follows socially awkward 17-year old Syd who has some close friends but some problems with depression and mood swings, plus the recent death of her Dad. Oh and it looks like she's telekinetic.

Spawn reboot has Joker to thank for any recent movement. https://apple.news/AR9MZ7qACRtCsnOppL7uw8Q

Bloodshot has a 34% on RT, and is looking at a $10 million opening.

Normally, I'd risk it anyway, but, y'know, biological holocaust going on....

FB should really be cashing in with Oculus Venues at this point, but still nada on the upcoming events list.

(For those not in the know, this is the idea that FB will put 180 or 360 cameras at live events and you'll be able to stream them to your VR headset as if you were in the crowd)

Joss Whedon is developing a series called "The Nevers", about Victorian era women as superheroes.

Another stab at Green Hornet is in the works.

Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt to star in a superhero rom-com titled "Ball and Chain".
A couple ready to get divorced are exposed to a meteor that gives them powers, but their powers only work if they're together in close proximity.

It just has to be better than "My Super Ex-Girlfriend".
