This time called Debris, and it is starring Riann Steele (Ant Man and the Wasp, Legacies, Magicians) and Jonathan Tucker (Westworld, Snowfall). Created by the Almost Human creator, J.H. Wyman. This will be the first NBC pilot from 2020 to go to series. Both pilots they had this year got picked up, the other one though, La Brea, won’t go to series until later this year.

“two agents, played by Steele and Tucker, from two different continents, and two different mindsets, must work together to investigate when wreckage from a destroyed alien spacecraft has mysterious effects on humankind.”

New Line is likely to move the third movie from Sept. 11, back to sometime next year.

Rumors abound about the XBox exclusive series. With Microsoft renewing the patent for the game just days before it expired, speculation has it that there will be a new Fable game as a launch title for Series X.

MORE BATMAN RUMORS! This time they are saying that Ben Affleck has actually signed a deal to return to the cape and cowl. With the rumors continuing, saying that WB is actively working on a proper multiverse. So ALL of the Batman actors could be making some sort of return.

Michael Keaton is said to be playing Bruce and not Thomas Wayne in a new set of rumors. They also say that we STILL won’t be seeing Jeffrey Dean Morgan return as Thomas, as the character isn’t even in the script.

DC is rumored to be making Supes the head of The Authority in the comic books… a pretty questionable move if real.

Reportedly in the works with JJ Abrams being eyed to direct. A soft-reboot… but only if you don’t believe the other rumors.
