Peacemaker: First Footage of The Suicide Squad Spin-Off Show Revealed
HBO Max has revealed the first footage from Peacemaker, the DC superhero show starring John Cena, who reprises his role from The Suicide Squad.
He’s got the looks, the car, and the best sidekick ever -- all in the name of peace.
— HBO Max (@hbomax) October 5, 2021
An exclusive clip from @DCPeacemaker has just been debuted by #HBOMaxEurope. Coming this January to HBO Max. pic.twitter.com/imwqlWMGMX
The clip features John Economos (Steve Agee) and Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland), two of Amanda Waller's subordinates who were first seen in The Suicide Squad, waiting for Peacekeeper to arrive at a restaurant. They are accompanied by Danielle Brooks as Leota Adebayo and Chukwudi Iwuji as Clemson Murn, who also appear to be part of the team. John Cena's Peacekeeper arrives at the restaurant in full costume, along with a bald eagle called 'Eagley', much to the confusion of his new handlers.
Peacemaker is due to launch on HBO Max this January, and will explore the origins of the character. It's also set to feature Vigilante and Judomaster, two other DC characters. More is likely to be revealed at DC FanDome, which will be held on October 16.

House of the Dragon: First Trailer Released for the Game of Thrones Prequel
HBO has released the first trailer for House of the Dragon, the Game of Thrones prequel arriving in 2022.
The trailer doesn't reveal too much, but shows us a series of images of Targaryen family members – the core of the new show – as well as a mantra of sorts: "Gods, kings, fire, and blood. Dreams didn't make us kings – dragons did." Of course, along the way we see the Iron Throne, jousts, sword fights, lots of bright white hair (the Targaryen trademark), and just the hint of a dragon.
Set around 200 years before the original series, the show will tell the story of House Targaryen, the line of kings that ruled Westeros before Robert Barratheon took the throne and, eventually, kicked off the events of Game of Thrones.
The show features a star-studded cast, including Paddy Considine as King Viserys Targaryen, Matt Smith as Prince Daemon Targaryen, Emma D'Arcy as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, and Rhys Ifans as Otto Hightower. Co-created by George R.R. Martin and Colony's Ryan Condal and from executive producer and director Miguel Sapochnik (who directed many iconic Game of Thrones episodes including "The Battle of the Bastards" and "The Long Night"), House of the Dragon will air on HBO and HBO Max.
We recently got our first look at images of the main cast members. The show, which is part of a wider deal between HBO and author George R.R. Martin, is one of several Game of Thrones series in the works. Currently, HBO is working on multiple live action series, and is also working on animated spin-offs set in the universe.
We still don't have a concrete premiere date for House of the Dragon, but it's due to drop in 2022.

Ben Affleck Recaptured the Fun of Playing Batman on The Flash After ‘Difficult’ Justice League
It seems like no one had a particularly good time making Joss Whedon's version of Justice League — Ben Affleck, who has donned the iconic cape and cowl for Batman's more recent cinematic adventures, among them. Things seem to be getting better, though.
Speaking with Variety during a recent event, Affleck said that he had fun reprising his role as Batman for The Flash, the new DC Extended Universe film due next year. At least, he had more fun than he did filming Justice League.
“It was a really nice way to revisit that as the prior experience had been difficult," Affleck said. "This was really lovely. Really fun."
Affleck also joked that he was probably under "some gag order I'm not even aware of" and that he would be sued at any moment. He also praised some of his co-stars while mentioning Aquaman star Jason Momoa. "I love Ezra [Miller] and I had a chance to see Jason, who's over [in the United Kingdom] making 'Aquaman [and the Lost Kingdom],'" Affleck said.
First announced back in 2014, The Flash has been in development for a long time now. It not only features Ben Affleck but Michael Keaton, who will play an older Batman from an alternate universe.
In an interview earlier this year, Keaton admitted to being somewhat confused by how it was all supposed to work. "I had to read it more than three times to go, 'Wait, how does this work?'" Keaton said. "They had to explain that to me several times."
At least everyone seems to have had a good time.
As for Justice League, the release of the Snyder Cut earlier this year dredged up plenty of negative feelings from its cast. Ray Fisher, who played Cyborg, said he would need an apology from WB to consider playing the character again. Meanwhile, Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot said that Whedon threatened to harm her career while making the film.
One way or another, most of Justice League's cast seem to be doing better these days. We'll see how that translates to The Flash when it releases on November 4, 2022.

IATSE, One of Hollywood’s Biggest Unions, Approves Strike Authorization
The International Association of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) has agreed to approve a strike authorization in an overwhelming vote.
IATSE announced that nearly 90% of its 60,000 union members voted in favor of a strike authorization in a vote that passed with 98.7% approval. While this doesn’t initiate a strike, the union is now able to call one if negotiations for a new contract continue to stall.
The union continues to meet with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers representing major film studios and streaming companies on a new three-year contract.
BREAKING: IATSE Members in TV and Film Production Voted to Authorize the first nationwide industry strike in our 128-year history.
— IATSE // #VoteYES (@IATSE) October 4, 2021
98.68% voted yes, and voter turnout among eligible members was nearly 90% #IASolidarity #IATSEVoted pic.twitter.com/F4wx8cPubi
According to the IATSE website, the union is bargaining for better working hours, rest and break periods for meals and weekends, livable wages for locals and better wages for union members working on “new media” streaming projects who the union say are being paid less despite production budgets that rival traditional blockbusters.
Deadline reports that IATSE locals are asking for a “real and meaningful rest period” as 14-hour days is widely seen as an “industry-standard.”
The LA Times meanwhile reports that the AMPTP has so far been unresponsive to these demands and has argued that it has raised minimum pay for these new media productions and covered the union’s $400-million pension and health plan deficit.
The two sides will continue to negotiate on a new contract for both the union’s west coast members and national members, but with the strike authorization, the union president can call for one if a deal fails to materialize.
A strike would be a rarity considering the IATSE hasn’t staged a strike since 1945, a date known as Hollywood’s Bloody Friday according to the LA Times. But it threatens to leave massive disruptions across Hollywood projects currently in development.

James Gunn Says Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special Introduces ‘One of Greatest MCU Characters of All Time’
James Gunn says The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special will introduce what he considers to be "one of the greatest MCU characters of all time." Gunn responded Saturday on Twitter to a user who asked if the Guardians Holiday Special will introduce any characters. Gunn, who is writing and directing the special, assured the fan that they will.
"In my incredibly subjective & admittedly often odd opinion, we'll be introducing one of the greatest MCU characters of all time," Gunn wrote.

— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) October 2, 2021
By Gunn's wording that this is one of the best Marvel characters in his "incredibly subjective & admittedly often odd opinion," it's likely that this is a bizarre, random character.
But Gunn is the guy who turned a talking tree with one line of dialogue into one of the MCU's most beloved characters. Let's see what Gunn has in store next.
All that's known about the Guardians Holiday Special is its release window of holiday 2022 on Disney+ and that the special takes place in the MCU's story between Thor: Love and Thunder and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
Thor: Love and Thunder is currently scheduled to hit theaters on May 6, 2022, with Guardians Vol. 3 dropping one year after on May 5, 2023.
The next MCU project to drop is the season finale of What If...? on Wednesday. Check out our list of the most shocking moments of What If...? so far. After Disney+ drops two episodes of the MCU behind-the-scenes series Assembled throughout October, Marvel's Eternals will hit theaters on November 5.
Gunn's next project as a director is the HBO Max series Peacemaker, which is set to debut in January. DC FanDome takes place on October 16 and will feature a Peacemaker event with appearances from Gunn and the show's leading actor, John Cena. Check out the full DC FanDome celebrity guest list.

New on HBO Max in October 2021: Dune, The Many Saints of Newark, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and More
October is a big month for HBO Max subscribers, as two of the most anticipated films of the year - Dune and the Sopranos prequel The Many Saints of Newark - both arrive just weeks apart from each other. Dune is an adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel that tells the story of Paul Atreides who has to travel to an incredibly dangerous planet to save not only his family, but his people as well.
Check out our video review of Dune in the video player below:
Comedy fans are also in for a treat as Seinfeld creator Larry David returns in Curb Your Enthusiasm's 11th season for more hilariously awkward moments that will have us both laughing and cringing from the ridiculousness.
October also brings with it Halloween, and HBO Max will feature some big-name horror films this month including The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, It: Chapter 2, Amityville Horror, and Mama. The latest Conjuring film was on HBO Max earlier this year when it also debuted in theaters, and it returns alongside Lin-Manuel Miranda's In The Heights for all subscribers.
Some big-name shows, including Succession and Insecure, are also getting new seasons this month, and Aquaman: King of Atlantis will tell a new story for Arthur Curry that's told by, among others, Aquaman director James Wan.
