Warner Bros. is in negotiations with Jeffrey Wright to play Commissioner Jim Gordon in The Batman, according toThe Hollywood Reporter. Wright as Gordon would continue the "revolving door" of this character's casting starting with Pat Hingle, from the 1989 Batman film, and continuing on through the most recentJustice League portrayal done by J.K. Simmons. The Batmanwill star Robert Pattinson as the caped crime-fighter and is set to release June 25,2021 (see "Pattinson as Batman").
Dan Ackroyd will be appearing in Jason Reitman's Ghostbusters according to The Hollywood Reporter. It is assumed, but unconfirmed, that the actor will reprise the role of Ray Stanz in the new movie. The new Ghostbusters movie will pick up where the first two movies left off, and be out in 2020 (see “’Ghostbusters’ Gets Release Date”).
Undiscovered Country, the upcoming Image Comics series by New York Times best-selling writers Scott Snyder and Charles Soule with art by Giuseppe Camuncoli, has been acquired prerelease by New Republic Pictures for development. Snyder and Soule are also attached as writers and they will serve as executive producers with Camuncoli. The Undiscovered Country comic book series arrives in stores on November 6 (see "Scott Snyder, Charles Soule, & Giuseppe Comuncoli Unveil 'UndiscoveredAmerica'"). A TV spot for Rise of Skywalker began airing last weekend, no doubt the beginning of a much larger campaign that will continue until its December release date (see "'Rise of Skywalker' Poster Revealed") .
