This may be worth posting in your Joker 2 thread.



I included the response with the most Likes with the tweet because it lacks a distinct sense of imagination.

There's been multiple versions of Joker throughout the years in both film & comics that have been both different and praised by the fans.

And there's been different versions of Harley Quinn herself, in the original 90s series, the Arkham Asylum games, the DCU version played by Margo Robbie, and when the HBO comedy series.

But lets just hope this new Lady Gaga version isn't the equivelent of Jared Leto's Joker.

Alison Brie Nabs Key Villain Role of Evil-Lyn in Amazon's MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE Movie

Alison Brie has nabbed the key villain role of Evil-Lyn in Amazon MGM Studios and Mattel Films’ live-action take on Masters of the Universe.

The actress, currently seen on Peacock’s thriller limited series Apples Never Fall, joins Nicholas Galitzine (The Idea of You) and Camila Mendes in the adaptation of the popular toy brand first introduced in the 1980s. Galitzine leads the series as He-Man, while Mendes is on the call sheet for the role of Teela, the captain of the royal guard and possible romantic interest.

In the director’s chair the feature has sitting Travis Knight, the founder of stop-motion powerhouse Laika, who helmed the company’s Kubo and the Two Strings. Masters of the Universe has been in development for around two decades, but now finally seems to be approaching a start of production.

Plot details are being kept in the box, but the concept centers on the character of Prince Adam of Eternia who, thanks to his Power Sword, turns into the muscular He-Man and is imbued with superhuman strength and abilities. With his assortment of allies, he defends the planet from the evil Skeletor and his armies.

Evil-Lyn is Skeletor’s second-in-command and uses a wand with a crystal orb to practice the dark arts. Meg Foster portrayed the character in the 1987 live-action movie.

The screenplay is by Chris Butler, following initial drafts written by David Callaham, and brothers Aaron and Adam Nee.

Escape Artists and Mattel Films are producing the feature that is to be released in theaters worldwide on June 5, 2026.

The casting in a big-budget IP fantasy is a change of pace for Brie, who is known for her comedy and dramatic work in rom-coms and television. She earned notices for her roles on Netflix series GLOW, cult comedy Community and AMC’s Mad Men. She recently starred in romancer Somebody That I Used To Know, which she co-wrote, and executive produced with husband Dave Franco, and appeared in the Oscar-winning drama Promising Young Woman.

Shang-Chi Director Destin Daniel Cretton in Talks to Helm SPIDER-MAN 4 Starring Tom Holland

Destin Daniel Cretton is doing whatever a spider can. The filmmaker behind Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is in talks to sign on to direct Spider-Man 4. The move brings an end to speculation of who would spin the web for one of the biggest franchises in Hollywood.

Cretton will bring fresh blood to this iteration of Spider-Man, which stars Tom Holland and is a co-production between two separate studios, Sony and Disney-owned Marvel Studios. And it will make him the fourth director to take on a Spidey solo feature. Jon Watts directed the previous three Holland-starring movies, while Marc Webb helmed the two Amazing Spider-Man movies that starred Andrew Garfield. Sam Raimi directed the trilogy that featured Tobey Maguire.

The Holland Spider-Man movies grew into $1 billion franchise, with Spider-Man: No Way Home enticing pandemic-weary audiences out of their homes and grossing almost $2 billion after it was released in December 2021. The film also starred Maguire and Garfield.

Chirs McKenna and Erik Sommers are back on script duties, while Marvel head Kevin Feige and former Sony head Amy Pascal are producing.

Sources say that Spider-Man 4 is running, not crawling, full steam ahead and will shoot early next year.

It is unclear what the story will be, as No Way Home ended with the world forgetting that teenager Peter Parker was the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. That memory wipe included those closest to him, including MJ (Zendaya), who no longer even know who Peter is. In June 2023, Holland told The Hollywood Reporter that he and the producers had recently undergone a series of meetings on a potential fourth installment. “The first few meetings were about, ‘Why would we do this again?’ And I think we found the reason why,” Holland said.

Cretton is popular in the Marvel fold. His Shang-Chi is considered a highlight in the post-Avengers: Endgame phase of movies, and he was on board to direct the megabudget Avengers: The Kang Dynasty but dropped off last November amid that project’s changing production schedule and evolution stemming from Jonathan Majors’ assault trial. Marvel has always wanted to find another feature for him.

His nabbing the Spidey gig is also vote of confidence on his work on Wonder Man, Marvel Television’s Disney+ series that stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, which is in postproduction.

James Earl Jones, Authoritative Actor and Voice of Darth Vader, Dies at 93

James Earl Jones, a commanding presence onscreen who nonetheless gained greater fame off-camera as the sonorous voice of Star Wars villain Darth Vader and Mufasa, the benevolent leader in The Lion King, died Monday. He was 93.

Jones, who burst into national prominence in 1970 with his powerful Oscar-nominated performance as America’s first Black heavyweight champion in The Great White Hope, died at his home in Dutchess County, New York, Independent Artist Group announced.

The distinguished star made his big-screen debut in Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) and was noteworthy in many other films, including Claudine (1974) opposite Diahann Carroll; Field of Dreams (1989), as the reclusive author Terence Mann; and The Sandlot (1993), as the intimidating neighborhood guy Mr. Mertle.

For his work on the stage, Jones earned two best actor Tony Awards: for originating the role of Jack Jefferson — who was based on real-life boxer Jack Johnson — in 1968 in Howard Sackler’s Great White Hope and for playing the patriarch who struggles to provide for his family in a 1986 Pulitzer Prize-winning production of August Wilson’s Fences.

Jones, the recipient of an honorary Oscar at the 2011 Governors Awards and a special Tony for lifetime achievement in 2017, was one of the handful of people to earn an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony and the first actor to win two Emmys in one year.

Jones’ rise to become one of the most-admired American actors of all time was remarkable considering he suffered from a debilitating stutter as a child.


When director George Lucas was searching for a bass voice for Darth Vader as he was casting Star Wars (1977), he reportedly considered Orson Welles but felt his voice might be too recognizable. So he called Jones’ agent and asked if the actor would like a day’s work.

Jones got a flat fee of $7,000 for the job and did not acknowledge that he was the voice of Darth Vader until the third film in the franchise.

Once, while traveling cross-country, Jones broke out his Darth Vader voice on the CB radio scanner. “The truck drivers would really freak out — for them, it was Darth Vader. I had to stop doing that,” he told The New York Times magazine.

As for voicing his character in The Lion King, Jones said in a 2011 interview that he still got a kick out of meeting kids who were devoted to the 1994 Disney classic.

“Their parents will say, ‘There’s Mufasa!’ But I don’t look like a lion, and if they’re real little kids, they think they’re being shafted or having the wool pulled over their eyes,” he said. “And I can’t roar to prove it to them, but I can say [in Mufasa’s voice], ‘Simba. You have deliberately disobeyed me!’”

He played Admiral Greer in three films based on Tom Clancy novels — The Hunt for Red October (1990), Patriot Games (1992) and Clear and Present Danger (1994) — and was King Jaffe Joffer in the pair of Coming 2 America movies, including the 2021 sequel.

Jones, of course, also was known as the “voice” of CNN. And he guest-starred on three episodes of The Simpsons, including the memorable 1990 “Treehouse of Horror” installment.
