Anjelica Huston teases her Ballerina role. Guillermo Del Toro says we’re close to getting a look at his new Frankenstein movie. Plus, Superman‘s runtime revealed. Spoilers, away!
Vision Quest
Deadline reports that T’Nia Miller has joined the series in the role of Jocasta, the first android wife of Ultron in the comics, made from the brain waves of a captive Janet Van Dyne, who eventually turns on him and joins the Avengers.
Ballerina: From the World of John Wick
During a recent interview with Comic Book, Anjelica Huston described her character as “a mother to Eve,” but unfortunately does not get her own fight scene in Ballerina.
I see her as essentially a mother to Eve. She defends what she believes to be important and honest, and she’ll stand in the way of anything that threatens that.
I’d like to do more physical stuff. I would love to see what she’s actually capable of because you know, you know it’s something that somebody does not live in that world for very long without knowing how to throw down.
Ready or Not 2
Speaking with Comic Book, Ready or Not 2 producer James Vanderbilt stated the upcoming sequel will “expand the mythology” of the first film “without explaining the entire mythology” of the series.
There are a couple of different ways we are doing it. I don’t want to give anything away. It’s so early, and there is so little out there. What I will say is one of the reasons it has taken a minute to make this sequel was that we were really hard on ourselves on not just repeating what the first movie was, but also, not losing the sauce of what the first movie was.
It’s interesting because there’s a debate all the way through as to what is real and what is not. That is answered at the end of the first movie, so you can’t put that Le Bail back in the bottle. What Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy do in this script is incredibly smart. As soon as they pitched it, it was, ‘Of course that’s what it is. That’s a great idea.’ It’s such a great way to tell this story. I am so excited for people to see it.
I think it’s safe to say we expand the mythology without explaining the entire mythology. I don’t know if that sounds exciting, but it’s exciting to us. I think it’s the right amount of worldbuilding, while still telling an amazing emotional story. We felt so privileged that people embraced that movie, that we didn’t want to revisit it if it was going to kinda be like, ‘Oh, look. They did it again.’ We were all okay leaving it be if we didn’t come up with something that we felt added to it, or in some ways, topped it. We are all really excited about what it is going to be.
