Blade Needs a Director.
00:00:04.807 --> 00:00:08.513
Paul Giamatti Joins Star Trek and Enemy Mine Reboot.
00:00:08.513 --> 00:00:20.332
All that and more on this edition of Multiverse Tonight Comic books, sci-fi, fantasy and more.
00:00:21.060 --> 00:00:26.032
If you're looking for a roundup of geeky news, you're in the right place.
00:00:26.032 --> 00:00:51.273
This is Multiverse Tonight, and here's your host, thomas Townley.
00:00:51.273 --> 00:00:56.996
Hello everyone and welcome to episode 217 of Multiverse Tonight.
00:00:56.996 --> 00:01:04.701
I'm, of course, your host, thomas Townley, and we just hit milestone.
00:01:04.701 --> 00:01:06.989
At the beginning of the month we entered, I believe it's our sixth year.
00:01:06.989 --> 00:01:10.227
Let me double check that real quick.
00:01:10.227 --> 00:01:19.867
And you know, looking at that show opening, I really do think we need a new one.
00:01:19.867 --> 00:01:49.289
But here's a thought If you're listening to this and you're talented, do me a favor, make me a new one and send it to MultiverseTonight at MultiverseTonightcom and you know you've seen, you've heard the show opening that I put at the beginning of the episode there, so I want something similar.
00:01:52.621 --> 00:01:53.525
Our podcast is six.
00:01:53.525 --> 00:01:56.867
This podcast is six years old, launched June 6, 2018.
00:01:56.867 --> 00:02:01.992
We're still doing it, even though our numbers are low.
00:02:01.992 --> 00:02:03.745
Don't get me wrong.
00:02:03.745 --> 00:02:10.409
They kind of ebb and flow and I wouldn't mind having a larger audience.
00:02:10.409 --> 00:02:31.787
And, by the way, if you don't like the commercials that come in at mid-roll, then go over to my Ko-fi link, go over to my Ko-fi link, go over to Patreon, or even there should be a link in your show description too.
00:02:31.787 --> 00:02:41.663
It says support the show, hit that, send me a buck or two, send me a buck or two, and you know if I get enough.
00:02:41.663 --> 00:02:45.105
You know a few bucks If I get enough, a few bucks.
00:02:45.105 --> 00:02:53.854
If I get enough that it just makes this podcasting free for me, I won't take any more ads.
00:02:53.854 --> 00:02:54.574
How about that?
00:02:54.574 --> 00:03:01.769
That sound good, sound fine.
00:03:01.788 --> 00:03:03.512
Anyway, for me personally there's not much.
00:03:03.512 --> 00:03:11.788
It's summer, it's hot, still waiting for things to be done in our new house so we can move in.
00:03:11.788 --> 00:03:17.848
But that's not looking until at least July or later before we get there.
00:03:17.848 --> 00:03:24.907
And you know, if you watch the video of the show, you'll see all those autographs over my shoulders.
00:03:24.907 --> 00:03:28.663
That's going to be.
00:03:28.663 --> 00:03:38.850
It's like I just got all these up and now I have to take them all back down, take them over to a new house and put them all back up again.
00:03:38.850 --> 00:03:44.501
I can guarantee you they won't be in the same order that they are now, you know.
00:03:44.501 --> 00:03:48.951
So maybe I'll have all the Star Trek autographs directly behind me or something.
00:03:48.951 --> 00:03:49.252
I don't know.
00:03:49.252 --> 00:03:59.175
I just kind of put them up that way as I was pulling autographs out of the folder that I had them in.
00:04:00.001 --> 00:04:07.454
So let's go on, he said, with some DC Comics news.
00:04:07.454 --> 00:04:32.492
And we begin DC Comics news with DC announcing Multiverse's Collision Detected, a tie-in comic to Player First Games and Warner Bros Games' hit platformer.
00:04:32.492 --> 00:04:43.791
Now written by Brian Q Miller with art by John Samariva, multiverse's Collision Detected brings the DC Universe and the many worlds of multiverses together.
00:04:43.791 --> 00:04:56.994
With Batman, superman and Wonder Woman meeting Bugs Bunny while investigating the Star Child and the Witch, one can imagine other heroes and villains from the DC Universe and from multiverses colliding, hence the collision in the comic's title.
00:04:56.994 --> 00:05:08.187
Now, this isn't the first time that DC has released a tie-in comic to a video game, having collaborated with Epic Games on Batman slash, fortnite, zero Point back in 2021.
00:05:10.831 --> 00:05:13.855
James Gunn's Superman movie has added more cast members.
00:05:13.855 --> 00:05:22.567
The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Michaela Hoover and Christopher McDonald have joined the movie, which is currently filming and is set for a 2025 release date.
00:05:22.567 --> 00:05:32.649
However, hoover, who has collaborated with Gunn on projects like Guardians 3 and the Suicide Squad, has been cast as Daily Gunn gossip columnist.
00:05:32.649 --> 00:05:42.391
Cat Grant McDonald, not to be confused with the happy Gilmore and Hack star of the same name, who is a newcomer to the screen, will portray Daily Planet reporter Ron Troop.
00:05:42.391 --> 00:05:47.428
Peacemaker is also adding some new faces for season two.
00:05:47.428 --> 00:05:55.531
The Picard actor, sol Rodriguez, and the Office's David Denman are among the series newcomers to the show, which is currently in production.
00:05:55.531 --> 00:06:09.406
Dc Studios co-chief, james Gunn, will direct three episodes of season two of Peacemaker, which, of course, centers on John Cena's character from the Suicide Squad movie in 2022.
00:06:09.406 --> 00:06:17.548
Rodriguez will play Sasha Bordeaux, who debuted in the comics in 2000's Detective Comics number 751 and is known as an ally of Batman.
00:06:17.548 --> 00:06:21.603
Denman has been cast in as a yet unknown role.
00:06:24.314 --> 00:06:31.466
Creature Commandos, the animated series that marks the start of James Gunn and Peter Safran's DC Universe, is coming this December.
00:06:31.466 --> 00:06:44.480
Creature Commandos, which was completely written by Gunn, will be stocked with actors who can perform both in animation and live action, so that any future appearances by the Creature Commandos will have consistency in tone and performance.
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:54.271
The series will star on a team led by Rick Flagg's father and include Nina Marchese, dr Phosphorus, frankenstein, bride of Frankenstein, gi Robot and Weasel.
00:06:54.271 --> 00:07:05.744
Now, of course, we saw Weasel was in the possession of Amanda Waller, the star of Suicide Squad, although exactly how much of the Suicide Squad is canon is still not clear.
00:07:05.744 --> 00:07:16.689
According to Variety's reporting of Creature Commando's presentation at the Anisea Animation Festival, it was confirmed that the bride played by Indira Varma will have a slightly different character design than her comic counterpart.
00:07:16.689 --> 00:07:26.550
While she boasts four arms in many of her comic appearances, she'll have just two in Creature Commandos, in part to help the practicality of translating her into both animation and live action.
00:07:26.550 --> 00:07:30.569
Creature Commandos was created by Grant Morrison and Doug Menke.
00:07:30.569 --> 00:07:37.170
The Bride boasts a romantic history with Eric Frankenstein and often operates as an agent of the secret organization Shade.
00:07:39.083 --> 00:07:46.887
Warner Bros Animation and DC Studios are looking to continue telling Blue Beetle stories via the animated series currently in development.
00:07:46.887 --> 00:08:01.987
Sources close to production told Deadline that Mikael Poiga has been working on the project since early this year and will serve as the project showrunner and director, with Christine Martinez set as writer.
00:08:01.987 --> 00:08:13.588
Angel Manuel Soto and Garth Dunant-Ellicott, director and screenwriter of the 2023 film, will exec produce alongside John Rickard, who serves in the same capacity on the film.
00:08:13.588 --> 00:08:20.370
Gail Weisman, who is an EP on the film, will oversee the animated TV series for DC Studios.
00:08:20.370 --> 00:08:23.793
Now let's go on to the Marvel news.
00:08:42.374 --> 00:08:47.236
Marvel News begins with the second season of Loki being a big hit for Disney Plus last year.
00:08:47.236 --> 00:09:01.168
The season also featured MCU newcomer Ki-Hoo Kwon as Ouroboros, aka OB, who audiences instantly fell in love with Before he was starring in MCU projects, of course, and winning an Academy Award for Everything Everywhere All at Once.
00:09:01.168 --> 00:09:03.065
Kwon was known for his roles.
00:09:03.065 --> 00:09:08.825
He played as a kid, short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Data in the Goonies.
00:09:08.825 --> 00:09:14.489
Recently, kwan told Collider that he thinks of Loki's OB as a variant of Data.
00:09:14.489 --> 00:09:19.149
Kwan explained it was because I didn't audition for this role.
00:09:19.249 --> 00:09:20.783
It was offered to me In the beginning.
00:09:20.783 --> 00:09:25.226
When I read the script I fell in love with the character right away, but I didn't quite know how to play him.
00:09:25.226 --> 00:09:32.807
I had meetings with our writers, with our showrunner, with Tom Hilson, and I was trying to pick their brains to see what their vision was for this character.
00:09:32.807 --> 00:09:36.451
They were very supportive and they offered a lot of suggestions and advice.
00:09:36.451 --> 00:09:40.015
I felt this tremendous pressure because I didn't want to disappoint the fans.
00:09:40.015 --> 00:09:50.311
I struggled for a long time and it was not until I went and saw the Ouroboros set and the stage that they were building the set on.
00:09:50.311 --> 00:09:58.831
It was called Roger Moore and you know Roger Moore played James Bond and Data from the Goonies loves James Bond, it dawned on me that OB could be a variant of Data from the Goonies.
00:09:58.831 --> 00:10:03.010
From that moment on, I knew exactly how I wanted to play him.
00:10:03.010 --> 00:10:24.116
The only thing is I just had time slip back into 1985 to try to remember what it was like to play this character, and has been really heartwarming.
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:30.811
Marvel's Blade reboot has now lost its second director.
00:10:30.811 --> 00:10:42.072
A report from the Wrap has confirmed that Yann Demange has parted ways with Marvel Studios' project, which will star Mahershala Ali as a new version of the titular Marvel vampire hunter.
00:10:42.072 --> 00:10:53.407
Demange is actually the second director to have officially signed on for Blade, replacing Basim Tariq, following his own exit from the project back in September of 2022.
00:10:53.407 --> 00:11:01.028
According to the reporting, demond's exit from Blade actually occurred a while ago and was described as entirely amicable.
00:11:01.028 --> 00:11:08.447
Marvel Studios veteran Eric Pearson is the most recent writer attached to the Blade script, working from a previous draft from Michael Starbury.
00:11:08.447 --> 00:11:22.410
At the moment, blade is slated for a fall 2025 release date, although from the looks of it, that's going to get pushed back into 2026 if they can't keep finding directors and writers.
00:11:24.841 --> 00:11:41.645
Anyway, this summer we'll see the team-up that Marvel fans have been waiting to see on the big screen in Deadpool and Wolverine, and in honor of the movie, digiorno is releasing a slate of frozen pizza flavors that celebrate the heroes both unexpected and independent blends.
00:11:41.645 --> 00:11:56.494
In addition to being able to find these four flavors in your frozen pizza aisle, fans can head over and visit DiGiornocom slash Deadpool and Wolverine starring today to enter for a chance to win a number of exciting prizes from Deadpool, wolverine, merch to a pizza party in Los Angeles.

00:12:04.070 --> 00:12:16.392
According to the press release quote, digiorno is joining forces with Marvel Studios' Deadpool and Wolverine in theaters July 26th for what can only be described as a good cinematic universe takeover.
00:12:16.392 --> 00:12:24.668
This collaboration defies the laws of common decency and will tickle taste buds of pizza lovers everywhere with a slice of chaos and mouthful of mischief.
00:12:24.668 --> 00:12:29.831
Digiorno is bringing the good straight to pretty, movie-going, pizza-loving pie holes.
00:12:29.831 --> 00:12:30.613
Nationwide.
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:39.412
Digiorno is unveiling new limited edition pizzas that were inspired by the movie and will take over the frozen foo's aisle starting June 2024.
00:12:39.412 --> 00:12:41.206
What does crazy taste like?
00:12:41.206 --> 00:12:44.309
Cheesy, spicy, saucy, widely inappropriate.
00:12:44.309 --> 00:12:47.495
These pies come in four completely collectible, jewel-worthy DiGiorno classic crust pizza varieties.
00:12:47.495 --> 00:12:51.063
Coming for a completely collectible, jewel-worthy DiGiorno classic crust pizza varieties.
00:12:51.083 --> 00:12:58.995
The Wade Special, a sweet and salty combo not just for Mercs made with pineapple and black olives to pay homage to Wade Wilson's pizza in the first movie.
00:12:58.995 --> 00:13:09.528
Gimme Chimmy, a chimichanga-inspired pizza that has a fiesta for your taste buds and topped with spicy cumin sauce, beef topping, jalapeno and cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
00:13:09.528 --> 00:13:17.409
The Spicy Wolvie Pie created with Wolverine and other meat lovers in mind, this pizza is stacked with pepperoni, chorizo and bacon.
00:13:17.409 --> 00:13:21.246
And the Maximum Pep, made with Maximum Flavor and Zero Regrets.
00:13:21.246 --> 00:13:26.309
Just like Deadpool's decisions, maximum Pep is piled high with sliced and diced pepperoni.
00:13:26.309 --> 00:13:33.730
None of those appeal to me, but I'm just a simple hamburger pizza guy.
00:13:33.730 --> 00:13:37.105
Maybe they suit you.
00:13:37.105 --> 00:13:40.789
I don't know exactly what's collectible about pizzas.
00:13:40.789 --> 00:13:44.671
I mean you keep those in your freezer for a long time.
00:13:44.671 --> 00:13:48.270
They're just going to get freezer burned and rot.
00:13:49.700 --> 00:13:53.687
Anyway, let's go on with the Star Wars news.
00:13:53.687 --> 00:14:04.789
Roger roger, star Wars news begins with Star Wars Young Jedi Adventures Season 2, which has a brand new premiere date for Disney Plus and Disney Junior.
00:14:04.789 --> 00:14:10.412
Kai Brightstar is back with his friends Lys, soleil and Nubz on Wednesday, august 14th.
00:14:10.412 --> 00:14:14.510
They're growing and learning more about being Jedi and helping people across the galaxy.
00:14:14.510 --> 00:14:19.230
They're getting some new mission gear for the heroes.
00:14:19.230 --> 00:14:24.032
There will be bigger missions to face and more lessons as they learn to continue their Jedi training.
00:14:24.032 --> 00:14:31.846
Luckily for Kai and the rest of the team, they have each other, so there's no problem they can't face with the power of friendship and the Force.
00:14:31.846 --> 00:14:35.207
Yeah, I just threw up in my mouth a little too.
00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:42.385
Atomic Mass Games, a subsidiary of Asmodee, has announced the end of development of two Star Wars games.
00:14:42.385 --> 00:14:51.903
Atomic Mass Games announced that it will be ending development on Star Wars X-Wing and Star Wars Armada, two majors games that involve small-scale or large-scale Starship fleet battles.
00:14:51.903 --> 00:15:03.951
Quote over the past few years, rising production costs, global manufacturing and pandemic-related challenges have made it increasingly difficult to produce high-quality, prepaid majors, which ultimately led to the decision to end development.
00:15:03.951 --> 00:15:12.506
Atomic Mass Games wrote on their blog You'll always have what's there already and whatever comes in the future, I guess.
00:15:13.961 --> 00:15:17.268
Anyway, let's roll on to the Star Trek news.
00:15:17.268 --> 00:15:27.159
It begins with Paul Giamatti joining the cast of the upcoming Paramount Plus original series, star Trek Starfleet Academy.
00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:35.726
In a reoccurring role he will play the season one villain, a man with an ominous past connected to one of our cadets Co-showrunners and exec producers.
00:15:35.726 --> 00:15:47.427
Ox Kurtzman and Noga Lando, in a joint statement said sometimes you're lucky enough to discover that one of the greatest actors alive is also a huge Star Trek fan, and meeting Paul was one of those miraculous moments for us.
00:15:47.427 --> 00:15:55.091
The sheer delight with which he dove in on Starfleet Academy is only surpassed by the gratitude we feel about him joining our incredible cast.
00:15:55.091 --> 00:16:03.389
He joins previously announced Holly Hunter, who will star in the series as the captain and chancellor of Starfleet Academy.
00:16:03.389 --> 00:16:06.625
The series will begin production later this summer.
00:16:08.908 --> 00:16:12.615
A villain, alex, alex, alex.
00:16:12.615 --> 00:16:16.568
No, star Trek series needs a villain.
00:16:16.568 --> 00:16:20.806
It's Star Trek, it's not Star Wars.
00:16:20.806 --> 00:16:25.491
You don't have really defined villains that much.
00:16:25.491 --> 00:16:31.851
Even Q wasn't a villain, he was a pest.
00:16:31.851 --> 00:16:34.230
So why does?
00:16:34.230 --> 00:16:34.695
Why?
00:16:34.695 --> 00:16:36.422
Does this series need a villain?
00:16:36.422 --> 00:16:39.128
You know, can we?
00:16:39.128 --> 00:16:41.712
Can we just do Star Trek without villains?
00:16:41.712 --> 00:16:52.466
Anyway, off of my soapbox, wizkids has announced a new Star Trek tabletop game due out for release later this year.
00:16:53.455 --> 00:17:00.104
Star Trek Captain's Chair is a new deck-building game that features six different captains from the Star Trek universe, competing in different ways.
00:17:00.104 --> 00:17:09.249
Each of the captains have different strategies and strengths, and players can choose to lean into diplomacy, exploration and science, in addition to ship combat.
00:17:09.249 --> 00:17:23.403
The six captains featured in the game include Jean-Luc Picard, benjamin Sisko, michael Burnham, koloth Sela and Tylex Shran so a wide range of captains there.
00:17:23.403 --> 00:17:33.357
Previews of various cards showcase a variety of characters from across the Star Trek line, with characters from the movies lower decks appearing alongside characters from the live-action TV shows.
00:17:33.357 --> 00:17:42.020
It's also notable that the game features a mix of different species, including an Andorian, which are usually considered afterthoughts, even though they were a founding Federation member.
00:17:42.020 --> 00:17:51.327
We'll also note that the game omits several popular captains like James C Kirk, which seemingly hints that there will be room for expansions should the game be a success.
00:17:52.815 --> 00:17:55.436
Let's go on to the Geek News.
00:17:55.436 --> 00:18:23.212
The Geek News begins with Zack Snyder, who envisioned his two movies, space opera, rebel Moon as hitting Netflix like a wrecking ball, with the release dates hitting just one month apart.
00:18:23.212 --> 00:18:31.580
That didn't quite work out, with Netflix hoping instead to draw out the attention they would attract.
00:18:31.580 --> 00:18:36.261
But now that both movies are out, the so-called Snyder Cut of each movie will drop on the same day in August.
00:18:36.261 --> 00:18:52.484
According to a new announcement made on Snyder's social media accounts, the director's cut of both parts of Rebel Moon will be available to watch on Netflix on August 2nd, and they will each get a new title as well Chapter 1, originally called A Child of Fire will now go by Chalice of Blood.
00:18:52.484 --> 00:18:57.351
Chapter 2, previously called the Scargiver, will debut as Curse of Forgiveness.
00:18:57.351 --> 00:19:04.744
That should help Snyder and Netflix separate the longer, bloodier, x-rated versions from the mainstream ones already released.
00:19:04.744 --> 00:19:09.657
Maybe someday I'll get to watch those.
00:19:09.657 --> 00:19:17.356
Probably when Star Trek Prodigy hits Netflix, I'll buy a month so I can watch that.
