Welcome back to The Rundown, our daily breakdown on comic news stories we missed from the previous day. Have a link to share? Email our team at either david@multiversitycomics.com or brian@multiversitycomics.com.
– Three more people have been cast in NBC’s adaptation of “Constantine”, with Lucy Griffiths, Charles Halford and Harold Perrineau joining the show. I have no experience with Griffiths, but she is set to play the female lead, while Halford and Perrineau are both set to be allies of Constantine, and both are quality actors (even if the latter is the monster that is Reggie Ledoux). This show continues to come together, and given that its lead is a relative unknown, it makes sense they’d put some quality supporting actors in the mix from day one. Nice work.
– Oh hey look! Fiona Stapes is doing a cover for “Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man” #1, her first work for Marvel, and unsurprisingly the cover is a beauty.
– Bleeding Cool has a shot from a recent “Future’s End” writers meeting, and apparently some of the plot lines thrown out in the image are destined to be true. Or rather, they say one of them might be. Here’s hoping none of them are true for the sake of the sanity of all you DC readers out there.
– So James Asmus is writing a back-up for “Superior Foes of Spider-Man” that was set to run in the 11th issue, but as of now has been postponed until…well, we don’t know when. But it’s happening and that is neat!
– There there, Lebron. You can’t wear your Batman mask? Try this Captain America themed one as designed by Greg Land! Better yet, don’t, because gross.
– A movie starring Ryan Reynolds and Anna Kendrick was picked up at Sundance and…it’s not a comic adaptation. So why am I writing about it? Because it’s directed by “Persepolis” cartoonist Marjane Satrapi. Neat!
