The classic cartoon franchise is getting a high-budget live-action remake, and it plays exactly by the Marvel rulebook. The trailer is focused on the central story of Adam Glenn, the lost prince of Eternia, forced to live in hiding on Earth.

After a decade floundering both critically and at the box office, DC Studios has regained their footing under James Gunn. With the moderate success of last year's Superman and the groundwork laid by a relatively well-received second season of Peacemaker, it seems as if the days of DC's cinematic outings getting pummeled by the MCU are over, as well as their days of approaching the plate without a plan in hand.

Aaron Pierre, the star of the upcoming series Lanterns, will reprise his role of John Stewart in Man of Tomorrow. Pierre plays John Stewart, a member of the Green Lantern Corps, in Lanterns, so his involvement in Man of Tomorrow is somewhat obvious, as we've known from the get-go that Man of Tomorrow will pit Superman and Lex Luthor against Brainiac, an alien villain.

No one could accuse Fleming of tailoring his act to please a conventional audience. His stage attire lies somewhere between "androgynous hipster" and "clown," and his only criteria for a premise appears to be "What does my brain fixate on?" He expects his audience to keep up with any cultural reference his Massachusetts-born, millennial, Skidmore arts-graduate brain might make without ever stopping to explain what, say, "Gatsby-esque" might mean in the context of Bitmoji.

In 2016, every studio that had a stake in Marvel or DC properties attempted to broaden the scope of their universe in order to set up future installments: The year saw a clash of heroes in both Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and Captain America: Civil War, there was also the introduction of Marvel's mystical side in Doctor Strange, the expansion of the DCEU with Suicide Squad, and Fox's most ambitious X-Men blockbuster with Apocalypse.

Alan Cumming has revealed he inadvertently injured Pedro Pascal during production of the upcoming Marvel movie Avengers: Doomsday. The Traitors host, 60, is set to reprise his role as X-Men superhero Nightcrawler in the film. Speaking during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Cumming said: What was funny was my first scene with Pedro, he hurt his neck and had to go home. So I broke Pedro.

The much-debated loss of interest in epic superhero sagas has plagued the genre for the better half of the decade, and Marvel's own dogged need to keep itself at the center of the conversation is partially to blame. Its cinematic universe used to dominate pop culture, but ever since Avengers: Endgame, it's struggled to justify its own existence. Not even self-aware jabs at the MCU's expense - like in Deadpool & Wolverine or the shaky She-Hulk: Attorney at Law - are enough to put the franchise back on track.

He did as much 13 years ago in Iron Man 3, the second he dropped his guise as the Mandarin to reveal that he was actually Trevor Slattery. The efficacy - not to mention the morality - of this twist has been the topic of heated debate ever since, but no one can deny that Kingsley isn't utterly sympathetic in the role.

In terms of audience recognition, Wonder Man is no Wonder Woman. But, as this latest addition to the MCU shows, that can afford a certain freedom. This miniseries is a surprisingly meta affair; a superhero fantasy by way of the kind of behind-the-camera machinations familiar to fans of Seth Rogen's The Studio. It tells the story of a pair of struggling actors, Simon Williams (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) and Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley), who are hustling hard
