“We’re working on something else now, another TV show that’s connected to that universe,” Gunn told Deadline. “I can’t quite say [what].” While James Gunn is tightlipped about what that series will be, the trade reports it will be based around one of the Suicide Squad characters we’ve already met and that the idea is in “embryonic stages” (i.e. a long way from a series order or pilot greenlight). Even so we at Den of Geek decided to have some fun and speculate about which characters—alive or dead—from The Suicide Squad universe we’d like to see more of in an episodic format....

How big? Well, for starters, that’s a veritable dirty dozen DC heroes, villains, antiheroes, freaks, misfits, and outcasts on our cover… the largest assemblage of stars we’ve ever attempted. And that story giving you the inside scoop on The Suicide Squad? Well, that’s packed with exclusive interviews with James Gunn, Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, John Cena, and Joel Kinnaman. It’s a lot, but how else were we supposed to cover the biggest, craziest, most violent DC war movie of all time?...

A less nuanced television series might take The Witcher’s vaguely medieval, fairly patriarchal setting as carte blanche to include all sorts of casual misogyny: Damsels in distress, sassy sex workers, or the sort of pointless, objectifying nudity that’s clearly only present to serve the male gaze. (As much as we all love the many complicated women of Game of Thrones, for example, that show also regularly included scenes in brothels full of naked women for virtually no reason at all....

At the beginning of Thor: Love and Thunder, the kindly Kronun Korg invited us to gather around and hear the story of Thor, the Space Viking who lost his way. By the end of the movie, Thor seems to have found himself, discovering a new purpose caring for the daughter of his one-time enemy Gorr and traveling the stars righting any wrongs, wherever he finds them. Along the way, Thor got some closure on his failed relationship with ex-girlfriend Jane Foster, who joined him and King Valkyrie as the Mighty Thor in a battle against Gorr the God-Butcher....

And while young Mr. Grayson already has plenty of issues with his former mentor, they come to something of a head in Titans episode 6, when he meets his replacement, a troubled young Robin named Jason Todd. The episode, with the fitting title of “Jason Todd” introduces the second Robin to Dick Grayson, and it spotlights the contrasting attitudes towards crime fighting that the two Robins have. Playing Jason Todd is Curran Walters, who balances the youthful exuberance of a newly-minted Robin with the darker elements that drive the character....

Yet, not enough attention ever seems paid to the kind of movies that cause filmgoers to grasp their armrests — or another’s arm on said rests — after the lights go out. Where is the love and anticipation for a potential new slate of nightmares that make us swallow our breath with every creaking house groan in the night? Of course, predicting what will be the most worthwhile horror movies in any year can be a bad dream in itself....

We’ve got an exclusive clip from the new Transformers: EarthSpark animated series that’s flipping the script on what fans have come to expect from the brutal baddy. Watch it below! Megatron… a good guy?! He’s even got a cute nickname, “Megs.” What world are we living in? Longtime hardcore Transformers fans will point out this isn’t the first time Megatron has worked on the “good” side (see the IDW Transformers comics) but it’s still an unusual turn for the legacy character....

Originating from the book series created by del Toro and Daniel Kaus, 2016 series Trollhunters kicked off Tales of Arcadia as part of Netflix’s quest to produce original animation for children. You don’t go into Trollhunters and its two series successors, 3Below and Wizards, expecting form-breaking storytelling for Western children’s cartoons, but each series had plenty to offer: Del Toro’s colorful realms with their own mythology, slapstick one-liners in the midst of swordplay, and colorful creatures from lovable AAARRRGGHH (Fred Tatasciore) to the paternal Blinky (Kelsey Grammar) with his teacher bravado....

Bobby taught me about opera and certain types of pop music whenever I used to stop by and see him as a kid, and he also introduced me to the idea of appreciating art, film, and literature. I didn’t quite realize it at the time, but Bobby certainly taught me the importance of education, culture, and, to some extent, critical thinking. I also didn’t realize at the time that Bobby was, for lack of a better word, different....

The Unreal Engine was originally developed by Epic Games for its 1998 FPS Unreal. The toolset has since been through several iterations that all demonstrate an uncanny ability to power almost every video game genre imaginable and also deliver top-notch graphics. The Unreal Engine is just as at home in shooters such as BioShock and Gears of War as it is in RPGs like Dragon Quest XI and The Last Remnant....

Compare the openings of the original Utopia and the US remake, and you’d be forgiven for thinking that the new version had softened the show’s hard edges. Right out of the gates, the 2013 UK original kicks off with a series of murders. In the aptly named Doomsday Comics shop, a pair of assassins cosh one man with a metal pipe, and gas another two men and a child to death....

Vikings Season 6 Episode 18 “Here is the grave of the most famous Viking who ever lived.” There’s an element of truth to the well-known axiom that says it’s always calm before the storm, and as we near the end of the saga, Vikings allows its characters a moment to catch their collective breaths before taking steps that will drastically alter their respective political and personal landscapes. “It’s Only Magic” delivers a series of emotional interiors that lays the groundwork for resolutions in Kattegat and France and provides a fresh beginning in a wondrous new world....

Netflix confirmed as much when the company trumpeted viewing data for the Jenna Ortega series late Tuesday afternoon. According to the streaming service, Wednesday chalked up 341.2 million hours of viewership in its first seven days, as per Netflix’s own internal analytics. This topples the record previously set by Stranger Things 4 back in late May/early June of this year, as well as any other English language series. However, it is still under Netflix’s all-time record holder, last year’s Squid Game, a drama in the Korean language that totaled 571....

Wellington Paranormal does for cops what What We Do In the Shadows does for vampires: not really much. People didn’t offer their throats to Staten Island bloodsuckers, asking to be made immortal after the FX series, and there won’t be a run on the New Zealand police academy any time soon, even after any cadets learn there is a paranormal unit in some of the local precincts. Hardly any law officer has even visited the basement office of the paranormal unit at the Wellington station....

Westworld Season 2 Episode 1 Freeze all motor functions and begin running diagnostics, because Westworld has finally galloped back into the HBO corral—and with it comes many gifts. There are of course the violent delights and violent ends that we must expect from visiting Robert Ford’s dreams within dreams, plus all the mazes that accompany therein. But more pleasing still is the return of true appointment television. It is rare in the modern age for a series to still crack the zeitgeist threshold and feel like an event that everyone must experience live, yet here we are, hanging on every syllable uttered by Bernard, figuring out whether he is friend or foe to his human compatriots, and wondering just exactly how Dolores’ bloody revenge will escape the park....

For psychic vampire Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch), it’s another Wednesday, which some fellas in his office like to think of as Hump Day. What We Do in the Shadows is a series adaptation of the feature film created by Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement, and for the uninitiated, it is a mock-doc styled vampire reality show. The vampires’ familiar, Guillermo (Harvey Guillén), keeps things real for the human audience. Colin brings the vampires to ground....

Historically speaking, the fantasy genre has a thorny relationship with motherhood. Technically, it’s acknowledged that the protagonists must have sprung from somewhere. But it is often solely their paternity that is seen as important—while the mothers, if mentioned at all, are usually either dead of irrelevant: unmentioned or languishing in a convent somewhere. If the mothers (or stepmothers: a different type of a mother-figure) persist in being alive into their children’s adulthood they are most often presented as an obstacle to their child’s self-actualisation/quest, or, as is most common with the stepmother archetype, present an actual threat to the protagonist....

With the indication that the character on the screen will be just as gray in his moral compass as the classic figure from Marvel Comics, the question arises as to who could be the real villain of Black Panther 2. There are plenty of candidates that are already established, or are likely to appear in the near future. Each has a strong narrative link to the Wakandan sequel and would definitely be a compelling big bad (or even secondary antagonist) for the forces of this great nation to face off against....

A sort of hybrid of Scream and Groundhog Day, Happy Death Day was acclaimed by critics, earned $125 million at the box office and was followed two years later by Happy Death Day 2U, which continued the story but emphasized a more sci-fi angle to the tale as Roth’s character found herself in an alternate dimension. Happy Death Day 2U, however, while profitable, grossed half the box office of its predecessor....

“It’s been before and after Lamb for me, as a human and as an actress,” Rapace tells Den of Geek. “And I felt it when Valdimar came to London. I just knew in my body and in my soul I had to do this, and I’d been waiting for this film. It brought me back to my roots and where everything started.” Those roots of course go deeper than when she broke into Hollywood with movies like Prometheus, just as they also dig further down than even her original Lisbeth Salander in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2009)....
