Jake Gyllenhaal is known for his prominent roles outside the superhero genre, but he was once considered for both ‘Batman’ and ‘Spider-Man’ roles. However, he ended up portraying the villain Mysterio in Tom Holland’s Spider-Man series within the MCU.
Gyllenhaal was also a contender for the role of the Dark Knight in Christopher Nolan’s films before Christian Bale landed the part. In a recent interview with Screenrant, Gyllenhaal shared his perspective on potentially playing Batman in the newly rebooted Dcu.
Oh, man. That’s a classic. It’s an honor.

After years in the industry, Brendan Fraser was awarded an Oscar in 2023, recognizing the actor’s exceptional acting chops. In recognition of his role as Charlie in Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale, the American-Canadian actor, 55, received his first Academy Award for Best Actor.

Still, he has remained modest and affable both on and off set, never allowing his success to get to his head. This is a rare quality in Hollywood, where celebrity and fortune can breed arrogance and entitlement.

Speaking to Screen Rant, Gyllenhaal discussed the prospect of taking on the role if the opportunity presented itself.

While Hugh Jackman retired as Wolverine in the 2017 film Logan, he was confirmed to reprise his iconic role in the first X-Men film in the MCU i.e. Deadpool and Wolverine. The character has been one of the most popular X-Men characters in the comics, made more popular by Jackman’s seventeen-year tenure in the Fox Studios X-Men franchise.
Wolverine is famously known for his loner personality. But the immortal regenerative superhero has fathered a number of kids across the multiverse. He reportedly has ten kids alone in the main continuity in the Marvel universe Earth-616. And those children have many times been with other superheroes, making his spawns much more powerful. Here are three who could be introduced in the MCU after Hugh Jackman’s exit after the third Deadpool film (via The Empire Podcast).

Released back in 2016 and starring Ben Affleck, Anna Kendrick, J.K. Simmons, Jon Bernthal, Jeffrey Tambor, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, John Lithgow, and Jean Smart, The Accountant was a major hit for Affleck and director Gavin O’Connor. The movie successfully combined Affleck’s autistic accountant, Christian Wolff, with an action-filled storyline that had both fans and critics praising the movie. And while we’ve known that a sequel is in the works for some time now, Collider exclusively reports that the filming of The Accountant 2 is set to begin in Los Angeles next week.
This was confirmed by one of the movies’ main actors, J.K. Simmons, who sat down for an interview for Collider and said the following:

Marvel surprised fans with ambitious movie plans in 2004, but many projects have yet to come to fruition even today. Unreleased Marvel movies like Namor and Silver Surfer found new life in other MCU projects over the years. Despite changes in Marvel Studios' plans, the possibility of canceled movies like Daredevil 2 or a Namor solo movie remains slim.
Marvel's movie offerings stretch much further than the MCU alone and have been just as ambitious since 2004 with multiple plans that are still yet to come to fruition. Marvel has come a long way since selling off movie rights to studios in the 80s and 90s, with the MCU becoming the most successful cinematic franchise in history by a vast margin, nearly tripling the worldwide box office of Star Wars to date. In 2004, Iron Man was one of several projects that would eventually make it past the cutting room floor before it launched...

Zack Snyder has revealed that his new creative home, Netflix, turned down his first-ever idea and pitch for a television series because the streamer believed it was too controversial.
Snyder made the revelation on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, where he discussed, among other things, his desire to bring the 1943 novel The Fountainhead to the small screen. "I pitched [Netflix] Fountainhead. No one wants to make it," he said. Russian-American author Ayn Rand's book is about an architect who rejects accepted, conventional standards and pressures. Snyder revealed why Netflix rejected his pitch, stating, "Yeah, yeah, we've talked about it a lot. I mean, nobody wants Fountainhead, but that's what I wanted to do. I pitched them Fountainhead because I've written this super adaptation of that book. I think it would be amazing, but no one wants to make it because they think it's taboo. Ayn Rand is taboo."

Batman is one of DC Comics' oldest superheroes, depicted in various ways from TV to movies, with 52 actors portraying him since 1943. Each Batman actor faced unique challenges and interpretations, from Lewis Wilson's budget constraints to George Clooney's goofy plot. Christian Bale is widely regarded as the best Batman for capturing the darkest aspects of the character in the iconic Dark Knight trilogy.
Batman is one of DC Comics' most beloved superheroes. Along with Wonder Woman and Superman, he's one of the three founding members of the Justice League. He's also one of the earliest superheroes in comic history, first appearing in Detective Comics #27 in May 1939. Bruce Wayne, with his caped and masked alias Batman, is seen in many TV, film, and game adaptations.

Ben Affleck’s Only Horror Movie Was So Bad It Couldn’t Even Earn More Than $10 Million at Box Office
Ben Affleck’s done a lot in Hollywood, you know? He’s been in all sorts of movies, from those big action flicks to the tear-jerker dramas. But when the 51-year-old dipped his toes into horror with Phantoms back in ’98, it didn’t quite hit the mark.

The movie just couldn’t grab people’s attention, making less than 10 million bucks at the box office. Even though it had a cool idea and Affleck’s star power, Phantoms just didn’t live up to the hype, ending up as one of those forgettable horror flicks. It’s kinda curious why folks didn’t vibe with it and what it says about the actor’s career in movies.

There is always a chance that the categories are just too niche, and maybe your hobbies don't line up with today's word groupings. If this starts to happen it can be a nice palate cleanser to step away from the game for a second, maybe complete the daily game Wordle, then come back.
If Connections is still giving you trouble, one of the smartest things to do is utilize the provided 'shuffle' button. Oftentimes we'll get stuck on a few words that only kinda go together, but aren't the actual answer.

The sequel to The Accountant, starring Ben Affleck, will feature a bigger role for Jon Bernthal's character, Braxton. The original movie, while successful, had mixed reviews due to clunky storytelling, so The Accountant 2 will hopefully improve on it in several key areas. Ben Affleck's return as Christian Wolff in The Accountant 2 provides hope for a box office win after some recent box office disappointments, like The Flash or Hypnotic.
The belated Ben Affleck sequel The Accountant 2 has just gotten way more exciting thanks to a recent casting update. Affleck had an enviable run of hits during the 2010s, both as a director and actor. He starred in and helmed both 2010's The Town and Argo, with the latter winning Best Picture at the Academy Awards. During this period, he received praise for his performance in David Fincher's Gone Girl and was cast as Batman in the Dceu.

Dan Wakefield, a prolific author and journalist who made television history when he created and wrote the controversial late-1970s drama James at 15 only to resign when NBC executives bristled over an episode’s depiction of teenage sexuality, died yesterday at a hospice facility in Miami.

A few weeks before this year’s Golden Globes, Kristen Wiig went over to Will Ferrell’s house in L.A. to brainstorm how they might co-present an acting prize at the show, which was reinventing itself as new and improved after a series of scandals. The event was among the first major Hollywood gatherings since the actors strike ended in November, with a guest list of stars hoping to fit six months of thwarted awards campaigning into one night, and Wiig and Ferrell were expected to lighten the mood. “We wrote stuff out, and then we would be like, ‘Wait, how does this end? Is this funny?’ ” Wiig says. “And then I was like, ‘I have this song on my phone that really makes me laugh. Can I just play it for you?’ ”

The Oscars 2024 premiered recently and it was an awesome sight to see. This time, however, it wasn’t just an award-distribution ceremony as actors literally used the platform to spread their message and beliefs about the world.
With the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict, several actors showed up at the Oscars wearing a red lapel pin. As per Rami Yousef, the pin signified their support for calls for a ceasefire in Gaza and the safe return of captives in the war-torn city!

Why Actors Wore A Red Lapel Pin To The Oscars
It was back in October when several artists collectively signed a letter asking President Joe Biden to ceasefire immediately in Gaza and release all the captives held in the city. Calls for peace and humanity were all around and were even further fueled by the involvement of several artists.

Zack Snyder recently appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast where he discussed, among other things, his ever-controversial trilogy of DC Comics films. Focusing specifically on the way he portrayed Bruce Wayne/Batman, played in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Zack Snyder’s Justice League by Ben Affleck, Snyder explained his impulse to deconstruct iconic elements of DC’s characters, which in Batman’s case, included his traditional rule against killing the criminals he fights. Affleck’s version of the character is notable for not following this rule, using lethal force against a variety of foes, especially in Batman v Superman, one of many reasons the 2016 film remains highly controversial among comic book fans to this day.

Considering them as his rivals in the industry, Wahlberg even claimed to try and outdo them.

Summary:
Regardless of his death at the hands of the Joker, Dick Grayson's Nightwing would have been a difficult fit for the Snyderverse. Nightwing can be a major asset in the upcoming Dcu, an A-list hero with connections to the Titans, Superman, and the Bat Family. Nightwing has surpassed Batman in DC Comics, resulting in a compelling dynamic that would be very exciting to see on-screen.
Dick Grayson's Nightwing would never have worked in the Synderverse, though he could become a major asset and a leading hero in the upcoming Dcu reboot. Beginning with the Creature Commandos animated series in 2024 with James Gunn's Superman being the first full-fledged Dcu feature in 2025, the brand-new Dcu is certainly imminent. To that end, it stands to reason that Nightwing will thrive far more than he ever could in the preceding Dceu which officially concluded with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

Snyder's Batman faces backlash for his lethal methods, but he's not the first Batman to take lives. Affleck's Batman has the highest kill count, sparking debate over how Batman should act. The Dceu Batman should uphold the no-killing rule to maintain character integrity within the cinematic universe.
Zack Snyder's Batman is considered controversial, but his Bruce Wayne only continued a trend with the character that has existed since the 1960s. Most audiences have positive feelings toward Ben Affleck's portrayal of Bruce Wayne/Batman. However, one aspect of the Dceu's Batman that divided viewers is that he showed little regard for the lives of criminals, often killing them in explosions or smashing them against walls. This was a decision made by Snyder that he has defended many times, most recently on the Joe Rogan podcast.
