In addition, the character is being described as being a warrior and having a strong physique. All details point to this character being Wonder Woman, a character that has been highly requested by fans to make her DCU debut.

ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL---James Cameron commented on a possible sequel to the 2019 movie, “I appreciate the loyalty of the ALITA fans. Robert Rodriguez and I have sworn a blood oath to do at least one more ALITA movie. In fact, we’re thinking of an architecture that bridges to a third film, but we’ll be satisfied if we can make one more. And we’re making progress on that. Now that I have a home in Austin, Texas, about three miles from [Robert’s] place, I think we’ll probably get more serious about that as soon as I wrap the mix here in a few weeks.”

DCU---Jamess Gunn commented on the report that the Jimmy Olsen tv series is titled DC CRIME, “There has never been a project titled DC CRIME in development, not even as a working title. I don’t know where that came from, but it’s weird… and no, that doesn’t mean all of the rest of the story is false. The story is from five days ago, and I’ve had a few people come up to me IRL and say, ‘I can’t wait for DC Crime! I was confused to say the last!”
Gunn also commented on Pierce Brosnan saying, “I’ve heard that Doctor Fate was going to have his own show, or his own movie. I’ve heard that he’s going to be in the next Superman" with Gunn posting that he has “never heard a Dr Fate rumor”.

GOOD SAMARITAN---Daisy Ridley will star in the movie whose synopsis says,“When successful entrepreneur Dr. Rosalind Carver (Ridley) and her husband Matt rescue a wounded man drifting off the coast of Indonesia, they believe they’re saving a life – not stepping into a deadly conspiracy. Within hours, their yacht vanishes, Matt is abducted, and paradise turns into a trap. Hunted by pirates and imprisoned by corrupt officials, Rosalind’s only hope lies in Sean Fuller, a private military contractor whose motives are as mysterious as his past. Together, they must navigate a maze of deceit and violence in a land where no one can be trusted.“

SOBER HOUSE---Tyler Posey is the star/co-writer of the movie about three drug addicts who travel to a remote sober house to clean up and where another attendee is a serial killer who is relapsing.

TRIVIA---in 2009, Hungarian art historian Gergely Barki and his three-year old daughter were watching the movie STUART LITTLE when he recognized the "lost" Robert Pereny painting "Sleeping Lady with a Black Vase" was used in the movie as a prop. The 1927 painting disappeared during World War II. After two years of trying to track the painting down, he got a reply from the movie's assistant set designer who did not know of the painting's significance when she bought it for the Sony Pictures movie at a Pasadena antique shop for $500. She later bought the painting from Sony Pictures, where it was on display in her house. After she was told about its true history by Barki, she put it up for auction where it sold for $285,700 in 2014.

STARGATE---Amazon Prime Video is developing a new tv series based on the 1994 movie that starred Kurt Russell and James Spader. Creator Martin Gero said, "Twenty years ago, my first real job in television was as a Story Editor on STARGATE: ATLANTIS. I spent five years at the franchise working across all three series, STARGATE taught me everything about making television — it's written into my DNA. I'm beyond thrilled that Amazon MGM Studios has entrusted me with guiding this incredible franchise into its next phase. For those who've kept the gate active through conventions, rewatches, and unwavering faith — this one's for you. And for those that are new to our world — I promise you're in for something extraordinary.”

The synopsis says, “Set across three decades from the immediate aftermath of World War II through the political turbulence of the 1970s, the series follows Holocaust survivor and Nazi hunter Yakov Liebermann in his lifelong crusade to bring Nazi fugitives to justice, a crusade that has cost him nearly everything. When one of his young protégées, undercover in Brazil, learns of a shocking Nazi plan, Liebermann is in a race against time to expose an unimaginable truth: Meinhardt, a sadistic Nazi scientist he believed long dead, is alive and orchestrating a diabolical project to spark the rise of a Fourth Reich.”
