It looks like Warner Bros. is going back to the drawing board for a certain Man of Steel property in the film division of things, as Deadline has confirmed that WB and DC have tapped writer Ta-Nehisi Coates (Black Panther and Captain America) to write a Superman reboot feature, with J.J Abrams producing under his Bad Robot Productions company.
No word on what exactly this new reboot will entail or if it will star Henry Cavill again as the big screen version of Clark Kent/ Superman, but this will be the second time that DC's Big Blue Boy Scout will be redone from scratch. Superman was first played on the big screen by Christopher Reeve in the classic 1978 film of the same name directed by Richard Donner. Reeve would go on to play the hero in three more sequels, after which Brandon Routh took over and played the same version in the semi-reboot sequel Superman Returns in 2006 (which ignored the events of Superman III and IV). Henry Cavill would then play the part in the first reboot for the DC Extended Universe in "Man of Steel" - which was directed by Zack Snyder and paved the way for a cinematic universe shared by "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", "Wonder Woman", and "Justice League".
Currently, Cavill will be seen again as Superman in the upcoming "Zack Snyder's Justice League" set to debut in HBO Max next month. Tyler Hoechlin plays the TV version seen in the Arrowverse - who first appeared in "Supergirl" and is now starring in the newly released TV Series "Superman and Lois".

One of the most anticipated TV series adaptations of one of the most beloved video game franchises in recent memory finally gets leads attached to the project, as HBO has cast Game of Thrones alums Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey as Joel Miller and Ellie in "The Last of Us" series!

Pascal, who played other fan favorite character Oberyn Martell in the series as well as the lead character in the Disney + Star Wars series The Mandalorian will be playing Joel Miller - the 40 year old survivor who is jaded by his experiences before and after the outbreak but is tasked with bringing Ellie across the former United States to a location where a possible cure could be made for the virus.
In addition to being very talented as Lyanna Mormont, Bella can play the guitar and sing - something that Ellie acquires in the TLOU universe thanks to Joel.

After revealing that his cut of the film would be landing in less than two months time, Zack Snyder has taken to social media again to tease another aspect of his "Justice League" that will definitely get fans excited and talking - and that's Jared Leto's version of The Joker...

It’s an honor to be partnering with The Walt Disney Company,” Coogler said. “Working with them on ‘Black Panther’ was a dream come true. As avid consumers of television, we couldn’t be happier to be launching our television business with Bob Iger, Dana Walden and all the amazing studios under the Disney umbrella. We look forward to learning, growing, and building a relationship with audiences all over the world through the Disney platforms. We are especially excited that we will be taking our first leap with Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso and their partners at Marvel Studios where we will be working closely with them on select MCU shows for Disney+. We’re already in the mix on some projects that we can’t wait to share.”
