Following The CW’s decision to suspend production on all of their DC TV shows, it looks like they were also forced to move around the schedule to fill programming as next week’s The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow have been moved three weeks forward from to April 7th.

The next episode will continue to see Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) rapidly lose his speed, and his timing couldn’t be any worse as a pair of familiar villains try to take him down even further. Meanwhile, Cisco (Carlos Valdes) and Ralph (Hartley Sawyer ) run into Sue Dearbon (Natalie Dreyfuss) again on their latest mission. 

“So Long and Goodnight” – (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET) (TV-PG, LV) (HDTV)

BLACK HOLE THREATENS JOE’S LIFE – After Black Hole hires Rag Doll (guest star Troy James) to kill Joe (Jesse L. Martin), Singh (guest star Patrick Sabongui) suggests he go into Witness Protection but Joe refuses to stop investigating Carver (guest star Eric Nenninger). While investigating Carver with Cisco (Carlos Valdes), Ralph (Hartley Sawyer) runs into Sue (guest star Natalie Dreyfuss). Iris (Candice Patton) becomes suspicious of Eva (guest star Efrat Dor). Alexandra La Roche directed the episode written by Kristen Kim & Thomas Pound (#616). Original airdate 4/7/2020.

Matching wits with The Thinker, who by season’s end had harnessed the powers of all twelve bus metas he created, stretched Team Flash to their limits, but with the help of some new allies, Barry Allen (aka The Flash) and company were able to put a stop to the Enlightenment and save Central City once again. However, with the arrival of Barry and Iris’ speedster daughter, Nora, who arrived from the future admitting to having made a “big mistake,” things are anything but status quo. Will parenthood be the challenge that finally slows The Flash down?

Jake Kasdan’s Jumanji: The Next Level is finally available on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD today and to celebrate the occasion, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has given us an exclusive opportunity to debut this never-before-seen Blu-ray clip.

The aforementioned clip spotlights Kevin Hart’s (Franklin “Mouse” Finbar) scene-stealing performance in the film, which saw him debut a hilarious impression of his 4x Primetime Emmy-nominated co-star Danny Glover (Milo Walker). His new character was a considerable departure from the usual high energy characters he’s known for, which brought for a new challenge for the fan-favorite comedian-turned-actor. 

The sequel, which saw the return of stars Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart and Karen Gillan, grossed over $769.3 million worldwide on an estimated $125-132 million production budget, which, while not reaching the heights of its predecessor, should still more or less guarantee that Sony will greenlight a sequel.

The home video release comes jam-packed with special features, including a gag reel, informative making of featurettes, scene breakdowns, VFX pre-vis breakdowns and an exclusive AR Game that will include a collectible map that is fully interactive, employing Augmented Reality to bring Jumanji to life through a smart phone, allowing users to create their own 8-bit Avatar, navigate a series of mini games and much more!

While many films have already shifted their theatrical release plans due to the coronavirus pandemic, Paramount’s highly anticipated Top Gun: Maverick (for the time being) remains on course to open worldwide on June 24th and is currently shaping up to be the biggest and best action movie of the year. 

While speaking with Empire, for their May issue, the film’s 3x Academy Award-nominated superstar Tom Cruise explained what convinced him to finally sign on for the long-rumored sequel, which will reunite him with original Top Gun producer Jerry Bruckheimer. He says, “We just started talking, and I realised that there were things that we could accomplish cinematically. And I started getting excited about this big challenge of, ‘How do we do it?’ So I said to Jerry, ‘I’ll do it if…’ meaning, I’m not going to do the CGI stuff.”

However, unlike the original Top Gun, the action this time around is all real as the actors got behind the cockpits (with trained fighter pilots, of course) and actually experienced all of the g-force heavy action sequences firsthand. “What’s different about this movie is that [in Top Gun] we put the actors in the F-14s and we couldn’t use one frame of it, except some stuff on Tom, because they all threw up. It’s hysterical to see their eyes roll back in their heads. So everything was done on a gimbal. But in this movie, Tom wanted to make sure the actors could actually be in the F-18s.” says Bruckheimer as he reminisces on the experience of filming the 1986 classic. 

Cruise, who’s already gone above and beyond with the death-defying stunts for his Mission: Impossible franchise, made sure Paramount knew exactly what to expect with the level of practical thrills he hoped to achieve with this film before the shoot began. Cruise tells the trade with a laugh, “I said to the studio, ‘You don’t know how hard this movie’s going to be. No-one’s ever done this before,’ There’s never been an aerial sequence shot this way. I don’t know if there ever will be again, to be honest.”

After more than thirty years of service as one of the Navy’s top aviators, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. When he finds himself training a detachment of Top Gun graduates for a specialized mission the likes of which no living pilot has ever seen, Maverick encounters Lt. Bradley Bradshaw (Miles Teller), call sign: “Rooster,” the son of Maverick’s late friend and Radar Intercept Officer Lt. Nick Bradshaw, aka “Goose.”

Facing an uncertain future and confronting the ghosts of his past, Maverick is drawn into a confrontation with his own deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who will be chosen to fly it.

Amy Adams first played Lois Lane in 2013’s Man of Steel, and has since appeared in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League. Just like every other cast member, her role in the latter was drastically altered, but the actress has once again expressed an interest in being given the opportunity to play the character again somewhere down the line.

As you can see, Fandom’s Twitter account has shared a recent quote from the actress in which she talks about reprising the role, while also acknowledging the fact it probably won’t happen.

“Amy Adams would ‘totally be open’ to reprising her role as Lois Lane in a future DC movie, but isn’t holding out hope – ‘I think [the studio is] moving in a different direction, from my understanding,'” the quote reads. While a Supergirl is rumoured to be in the early stages of development, that’s not necessarily a natural fit for Lois Lane, and another Man of Steel movie seems doubtful too.

Looking at Warner Bros.’ slate of upcoming DC Comics movies, there’s nowhere a cameo from Lois even seems likely, so Adams’ time as the character having reached its end is entirely possible. 

The same could be said for Henry Cavill, though he too remains optimistic about one day returning.

Are you hoping to see more of this version of Lois Lane in the DC Extended Universe moving forward?
