Speculation resurfaces that Eiza Gonzalez has been cast as Catwoman in the Dceu
18 October 2017 2:00 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
If you cast your mind back to this summer, you may recall speculation linking From Dusk Till Dawn and Baby Driver star Eiza Gonzalez to the role of Catwoman in Warner Bros.’ planned female Dceu movie Gotham City Sirens.
The rumours began due to the actress’ social media activity, having shared photos of various DC comic books, discussed visiting Warner Bros. Studios, and posting some images of her in a rather tight Catwoman-like bodysuit. Sketchy, but it was enough to get tongues wagging…
Well, those same rumours have now resurfaced, owing to more social media sleuthing from Reddit, where it has been pointed out that Suicide Squad and Gotham City Sirens director David Ayer has recently followed Gonzalez on Twitter.
Now, this may well mean nothing at all – perhaps Ayer is simply a fan – and there have even been rumours that the filmmaker may no longer be attached to the project, »

Baby Driver Actress Eiza González Tipped For Catwoman Role In Gotham City Sirens
18 October 2017 6:32 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
From Haley Bennett to Game of Thrones mainstay Lena Headey, Warner’s Gotham City Sirens spinoff movie has purportedly piqued the curiosity of countless big-name actresses. And we’re now learning that Eiza González is the latest star to be thrown into the mix.
Best known for her scene-stealing performance as Darling in Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver, González has been tipped to play Catwoman for Warner Bros. and David Ayer, after a handful of DC fans noticed that the director is now following González on Twitter. Hardly what one would call a sure-fire confirmation, but it’s also worth mentioning that DC Films head Geoff Johns also follows the actress via social media.
Adding fuel to the fire, Eiza González recently shared photos of her dressed in black catsuits – photos that came bearing the caption, “the uniform lately,” so take from that what you will. Another thing worth mentioning »

16 October 2017 3:49 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Netflix expects to release around 80 original films next year, as it looks to hit the kind of scale in movies that it’s achieved on the TV side, according to chief content officer Ted Sarandos.
“They range anywhere from the million-dollar Sundance hit, all the way up to something on a much larger scale,” like Will Smith-starrer “Bright,” Sarandos said in an investors’ interview Monday about Netflix’s third-quarter 2017 results.
“Bright,” a cop action-thriller movie directed by David Ayer, had a reported production price tag of $90 million. It’s set to debut on Netflix worldwide on Dec. 22. Sarandos also cited as a forthcoming big-budget picture Martin Scorsese’s gangster movie “The Irishman,” starring Robert DeNiro, slated to be released on Netflix in early 2019. “The Irishman” has a budget of more $100 million.
Sarandos said with the release of “Bright” — a “big-budget, event movie” — “I think people will start seeing the potential for this original movie initiative, that it »

Digital artist BossLogic is back at it again, this time giving us an idea of what Scott Eastwood could look like as Wolverine. Hugh Jackman has recently retired from the role of Logan after portraying the character 9 times, leaving the door open for the next actor to step in and play one of the best-known Marvel characters in history. When the time does come to find a replacement for Jackman, you can guarantee that there will be a monster of a debate about who played Wolverine better that will last for decades.
Scott Eastwood was recently at New York Comic-Con for the Pacific Rim: Uprising panel and he was asked about playing a superhero during an interview with ComicBook. Without hesitation, the actor blurted out "Weapon X... I mean Logan!" Talks of Scott Eastwood taking over on the role of Wolverine have been rumbling ever since Hugh Jackman announced »
