Superman’s Appearance in Justice League May Have Just Been Spoiled

POTENTIAL SPOILERS FOR JUSTICE LEAGUE AHEAD.

Could Superman show up… in Venezuela?

It’s not rare when toys spoil a comic book movie, especially in the DCEU it seems. Now, the latest instance of this happening seems to be related to the return of Superman in Justice League.

The description of a Funko Figure has potentially given away the exact moment when Superman will come in to help the Justice League.

The Batman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, and Flash figures are barely holding their own against invading Parademons and an axe-wielding Steppenwolf. If only Superman — in Funko figure form — was here… LOOK! UP IN THE SKY! Is that…is that Superman?? IT IS! It’s the Superman Justice League Movie Funko Pop Vinyl Figure and it resurrected itself moments before Steppenwolf skewered Wonder Woman with a hefty chunk of Venezuela!

Could this be Zack Snyder’s way of getting rid of the backlash he’s faced for destroying Gotham and Metropolis? Could audiences really care more about the destruction of two fictional cities than the one of a real-life country?

Either way, it seems like Superman will show up during a pivotal moment, just in time to save the day.

This potential spoiler also comes just days after Donald Trump threatened the Venezuelan government with military intervention, so Snyder could be setting himself up for some backlash. However, it’d certainly be interesting to see how he and Joss Whedon portray the country, given Venezuela’s current political instability.

Sarah Paulson Reveals Info About American Horror Story

Sarah Paulson revealed some potential spoilers about American Horror Story: Cult.

The actress teased a lesbian marriage during the Television Critics Association’s press tour on Wednesday. She said, “There are two women married to each other in that house, but who are they?” According to Entertainment Weekly, she was referring to a set that reporters visited. “It’s me and Alison [Pill],” Paulson continued, and after seeing Pill’s shocked reaction, Paulson quickly added: “That may or may not be true.”

Paulson and Pill are playing Ally Mayfair-Richards and Ivy Mayfair-Richards, respectively. This is the first time the both actresses have worked together. “We’ve known each other for a long time and have never had a chance to work together, so it really is the most exciting to have all of these scenes with the person who I couldn’t respect more and who is so good at acting,” Pill said.

Did Darren Criss Just Reveal Lena Dunham’s Role in AHS: Cult?

It seems like Lena Dunham is having an interesting role in American Horror Story’s upcoming season.

Glee‘s Darren Criss might have accidentally given away a spoiler as to what we will see of Lena Dunham during Cult. 

The actor revealed during an interview that he was taking a break in between scenes of American Crime Story when he saw some outdoor filming, he asked what was being filmed and someone from the set gave him a bit more information than they should have.

Two-Night Arrowverse Crossover Announced

The CW has announced that the 2017-2018 television season’s Arrowverse crossover event will take place over two nights at the Television Critics Association summer press tour.

The crossover event beings Monday, November 27 on Supergirl, followed by a special Monday episode of Arrow. The crossover continues Tuesday, November 28 on The Flash, then concludes on that night’s DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.

CW boss Mark Pedowitz said that with The Flash and Legends already paired up on Tuesdays — and after discussions with producers and the marketing department — “We felt that it would be better and tighter in storytelling…. This was the best way to go.”

“Next year we may go back to four nights,” he allowed.

Pedowitz also made clear that unlike last year’s event, which technically started but barely took place on Supergirl, “It’s a full, four-episode crossover.” As for how one tops an alien invasion as a premise for the all-star team-up, all he would say is, “Romance is in the air.”

The Arrowverse’s very first crossover took place in December 2014 and started on The Flash and concluded on Arrow. In December 2015, Legends of Tomorrow villain Vandal Savage targeted Central City barista Kendra Saunders, triggering the involvement of Flash and Arrow heroes. Last year’s four-show, three-night event included Supergirl, as the many Superfriends battled the alien race known as The Dominators.

Daytime Divas Post-Mortem: What Would Season 2 Look Like?

VH1’s Daytime Divas ended its first season with a bang, a mic drop and a pair of handcuffs.

TVLine interviewed showrunners Mike Chessler and Chris Alberghini about the biggest twists in the season finale, as well as where the series would go in a potential Season Two.

Here are a few interesting excerpts from the interview:

You left us on a hell of a cliffhanger, considering a second season isn’t confirmed.

CHESSLER | Yes, we wanted to end on a big cliffhanger! It’s a fun, soapy show, and we’re obviously hoping there will be another season. Otherwise, we’re stuck on the cliff!

Have you heard anything?

ALBERGHINI | It’s still being discussed. There are big fans of the show, so we’ll just hope for the best.

How do you think Maxine would fare in prison?

ALBERGHINI | Well, Maxine’s a very dominant and controlling presence. She’s also very resourceful, and I think it’d be interesting to see a woman like that in prison, where her resources and access and influences are limited — at least initially. It’d be fun to see what she could make out of that situation. Not that we’re basing her on this, but I’d love to see how Martha Stewart’s first few days were.

As for Shawn, I’m no lawyer, but if he ends up coming clean about the murder, won’t they both end up behind bars?

CHESSLER | Maxine is a master manipulator. She’s very well-connected, and she’s always finding ways to get the end result she wants. I think there’s definitely some legal peril for both of them, but I also think Maxine is probably one step ahead of everything.

ALBERGHINI | We’re all very interested in Shawn and Maxine’s relationship. I’m interested in showing the complexity of it. What other secrets do they have? What else has one covered up for the other? Mother-son relationships can be just as complicated as mother-daughter relationships, so we’d like to explore that more.

Are Maxine and Mo actually “good” now?

ALBERGHINI | I would say they’ve reached a “friendly” détente. Each has gained a little more respect for the other. Each has been humbled by the other. And I think they feed off of each other. They improve their own game based on the other’s actions.

Last question, and this one’s really bugging me: Is anyone going to find out that Ramona’s been stealing from the set?

ALBERGHINI | No, we’re saving that for Season 2. [Laughs]

That’s a wrap for Season 1. And as always… lunch is on us.

Midnight, Texas: “Lemuel, Unchained” Sneak Peeks

Angels, vampires, psychics, witches, assassins, racist biker gangs, ghost grandmas and a talking cat! Welcome back to Midnight, Texas.

The cast of NBC’s sexy supernatural summer series attended San Diego Comic-Con a couple of weeks ago. TVLine sat down with the cast and chatted with the cast about what’s to come.

Here are two sneak peeks from episode three titled “Lemuel, Unchained”:

Midnight, Texas airs Mondays at 10pm/9c on NBC.

Black Lightning‘s Location Confirmed

While The CW’s latest superhero series Black Lightning might not be set in the Arrowverse (yet), we do have confirmation on the actual city location of the new series.

Black Lightning will be set in Freeland, a fictional city. The television series is filming in Atlanta.

Developed by executive producers Salim and Mara Brock Akil, alongside Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter, Black Lightning will showcase battles that are even more grounded in social justice than when Jefferson Pierce debuted as one of DC’s first African-American heroes in 1977.

Topics tackled by the series will include Black Lives Matter, race relations and police brutality. “This is an American story, this is not a black story… We’re going to be culturally specific, but universal in our themes so everyone can see themselves in these stories,” said Salim Akil in an EW interview.

In the interview they also discussed if crossovers with other CW DC series could occur.

One of the things that Black Lightning will do, and Jefferson will do, is be able to introduce the humanity of the people who are caught in these communities. So I didn’t want to distract from that, and I didn’t want to distract from us getting to know Jefferson, Jennifer, and Anissa, or Black Lightning, Thunder, and Lightning. I wanted people to get to know them first.

Now, you know, everything is possible. But hopefully this season everybody will just get to know them and get to respect them and accept them for who they are before we start making other moves.

But will there be crossover potential?

Yeah, I’m not opposed to it at all.

Black Lightning premieres in 2018.

Game of Thrones‘s Hot Pie Sells Direwolf-Shaped Loaves IRL

WARNING: Spoilers for Game of Thrones Season 7 ahead.

Fans of Game of Thrones in the U.K. had a chance to try that delicious bread Arya love made by Hot Pie himself.

In anticipation of last Sunday’s episode, “Stormborn,” Ben Hawkey, the actor who plays Hot Pie on GoT, partnered with Deliveroo, a London-based food delivery service to open up his own shop.

The online shop was called “You Know Nothing John Dough” (because of course it was), and it was selling direwolf-shaped loaves for £1.

Hot Pie made a surprise appearance on last weeks episode, followed by the comeback of Arya’s long-lost direwolf, Nymeria, so the loaves came at a very convenient time.

There was no physical location for the bakery, and unfortunately, the window for orders has already closed.

Hawkey said via High Snobiety:

“Hot Pie’s Direwolf loaves are a favorite for Game of Thrones fans, and people are always asking me for the secret of my recipe. I can’t share that, but Deliveroo customers will have the chance to try them themselves. You don’t even need to take a dangerous walk down the King’s Road to visit, it comes to you.”

Once Upon A Time Showrunners Explain New Curse

The times they are a-changin’ on ABC’s Once Upon A Time. The series will feature a massive time jump and a brand new location for its upcoming seventh season. But not only will our favorite characters survive the time jump and new location… they will also have to deal with a brand new curse which will be much harder to break free from.

The new curse is set by the series’ new villain Lady Tremaine (played by Gabrielle Anwar). “As often is the case on Once Upon A Time, there’s more than meets the eye to what we know about the character. Lady Tremaine doesn’t like Cinderella very much and she’s got an agenda. But there is something broiling beneath that’s personal and painful that is driving all of this,” says executive producer Adam Horowitz to EW.

“She’s somebody who wants to get to the top and will use any means necessary. So why it’s important for her to be royal, why it’s important for her to crush everyone else, is the story of the year. In true Once Upon A Time fashion, evil isn’t born, it’s made, and we’ll see that with her as well,” added executive producer Edward Kitsis.

As expected, the new curse has created a Storybrooke-esque town called Hyperion Heights in Seattle, Washington (aka the Land Without Magic). But don’t consider this town Storybrooke 2.0. Lady Tremaine has thrown in a twist. “We’re going to see in Hyperion Heights that the role Lady Tremaine has taken is very similar in terms of getting to the top, in terms of being a developer, who is this character who is trying to push out the fairy tale characters who are living in Hyperion Heights, gentrifying the neighborhood and bringing other people in,” says executive producer David H. Goodman.

Horowitz: “We’re in a city now. Hyperion Heights is part of Seattle the way Brooklyn is part of New York. It’s more densely populated and it’s filled with fairy tale characters and non-fairy tale characters and that’s another interaction and vibe that we didn’t really have in Storybrooke, where it was all the cursed people.”

And the Tremaine twist is: “Lady Tremaine learned the lesson that Regina didn’t, which is don’t keep them all together where one day they can find themselves, push them the hell out! You push them the hell out and you gentrify the neighborhood and you bring in a cold press juicer and they can’t afford it anymore, then you won’t worry about the Pied Piper finding, you know, Alice,” added Kitsis.

[WPGP gif_id=”6321″ width=”600″]

Goodman: “[Lady Tremaine] is sort of Regina-prime and she’s trying to figure out a way to scatter these fairy tale characters to the wind so they can’t be together, because as we’ve always seen, when these characters get together, they always figure out how to beat the bad guy. Not giving anything away what the curse is, but she’s learning and standing on the backs of these other curses that have come before her to be as effective a villain as possible.”

But wait… Lady Tremaine has the power. Lady Tremaine is separating the fairy tale characters. So is it official that she cast the new curse?

Kitsis: “We said very clearly in the pilot of Once Upon A Time that Regina cast the curse. What you’ll see this season is we don’t necessarily say that in the premiere.”

So, who cast the new curse?

Once Upon A Time returns Friday, October 6 at 8pm/7c on ABC.
