By Russ Burlingame - December 6, 2019 01:33 am EST Share 0 Comments 0 Ever since the "Invasion!" crossover three years ago, when Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) and The Atom (Brandon Routh) shared a joke about the fact that they looked like they could be cousins, fans have wondered what it would be like for the Legends to realize that, no some Earth, somewhere in the multiverse, there really and truly is a Clark Kent who looks alarmingly like Ray. While Tyler Hoechlin wasn't exactly a 1:1 fit -- and hasn't really shared the screen with Routh so far -- one thing is for sure: the upcoming "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover is going to make it hard to ignore the similarities. Routh, who played the Man of Steel in the 2006 movie Superman Returns, will appear in "Crisis on Infinite Earths" as an alternate-universe Superman who dresses like the one from the 1997 comic book miniseries Kingdom Come by Alex Ross and Mark Waid. That character, of course, did not exist … [Read more...] about “Crisis on Infinite Earths” Boss Teases Brandon Routh’s Ray Palmer Meeting Kingdom Come Superman

Don’t Compare “Crisis on Infinite Earths” to Avengers: Endgame
By Jenna Anderson - December 6, 2019 01:03 am EST Share 0 Comments 0 We're days away from the beginning of "Crisis on Infinite Earths", the biggest crossover yet for The CW's Arrowverse of shows. The four-night, five-episode event is set to take Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Batwoman, Legends of Tomorrow, and a ton of other DCTV properties to new heights, as the fate of the multiverse as we know it hangs in the balance. Even before "Crisis" has begun, the event has drawn comparisons to another franchise-defining event that debuted in 2019 -- Marvel's Avengers: Endgame. Both events definitely have a similar kind of "every hero united together" kind of feel, and the pending fates of Oliver Queen/Green Arrow (Stephen Amell) and Barry Allen/The Flash (Grant Gustin) feel slightly reminiscent of the endings Endgame gave to Iron Man and Captain America. In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, crossover showrunner Marc Guggenheim addressed those comparisons and gave … [Read more...] about Don’t Compare “Crisis on Infinite Earths” to Avengers: Endgame
‘Arrow’ To End After Season 8
By Russ Burlingame - March 8, 2019 06:43 pm EST Share 18 Comments 18 Arrow will end following the conclusion of the show's upcoming eighth season, series star Stephen Amell confirmed today. The decision comes amid rumors that Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell), the series' lead character, will die in the upcoming "Crisis on Infinite Earths" event. "Playing Oliver Queen has been the greatest professional experience of my life... but you can’t be a vigilante forever," Amell tweeted. "Arrow will return for a final run of 10 episodes this Fall. There’s so much to say... for now I just want to say thank you." In recent weeks, rumors have run wild about various CW series ending or being radically overhauled following "Crisis." The crossover, which will bring together the casts of Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, and DC's Legends of Tomorrow, is set for the end of this year (near the midpoint of next season). A ten-episode final season will roughly line up with the … [Read more...] about ‘Arrow’ To End After Season 8
Tom Holland discusses the “drunk” and tearful phone call that helped keep Spider-Man in the MCU
When news emerged that Spider-Man could be leaving the Marvel Cinematic Universe, fans banded together to call on Disney and Sony to come to sort of resolution. Surely, Tom Holland's web-slinger couldn't just leave the Avengers?Soon enough, the two mega-companies came to an agreement that meant Spider-Man could stay in the MCU. While we'll never know the intricacies of those discussions, it looks like Holland played an integral part.Speaking to Jimmy Kimmel on his late-night show, Holland revealed he was three pints down at a pub when Sony CEO Bob Iger called and asked him his thoughts on brokering a deal with Marvel."My family and I went to the pub quiz in our local town, and I’m like three pints in, haven’t eaten much and I get a phone call from an unknown number and I have a feeling, I’m like, ‘I think this is Bob Iger… but I’m drunk,’" Holland told the talk-show host. "So my dad’s like, ‘Just take the call, you’ll do … [Read more...] about Tom Holland discusses the “drunk” and tearful phone call that helped keep Spider-Man in the MCU
‘Arrow’s Stephen Amell on What Oliver Queen’s Final Story Arc Needs to Be
By Kofi Outlaw - September 4, 2018 02:35 am EDT Share 16 Comments 16 The Arrowverse is a steadily expanding superhero universe — but eventually, it will inevitably have to say goodbye to its founding series, Arrow, or at the very least the titular character of Oliver Queen / Green Arrow. No one realizes the inevitable future of Arrow more than its star, Stephen Amell, and the actor recently opened up about what he envisions as Oliver Queen's final story arc. Amell was recently a guest on Smallville actor Michael Rosenbaum's Inside of You podcast, where the two actors compared notes about what it's like to take on the creative challenge of playing a character for nearly a decade of time. Rosenbaum relates the tale of how he had to escape his Smallville role as Lex Luthor, feeling trapped in his career long before the show ended. That piece of personal history prompts the question of whether Amell similarly feels typecast, or if his role feels redundant after … [Read more...] about ‘Arrow’s Stephen Amell on What Oliver Queen’s Final Story Arc Needs to Be
