The Rundown: Marvel Plans Films Through 2028, Three New Actors Join “Superman/Batman” Film, and more

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.

– While I am sure there is a little bit of exaggeration here, Kevin Feige said that Marvel Studios has laid out tentative plans for their films through 2028. To put a little context here, if the next President of the United States is a two term president, 2029 would be the start of the second term of whoever follows him/her. So yeah – Marvel has some big deas.

– In response to DC’s Survey, Yanick Paquette has posted his thoughts about the survey on his Facebook, and they are not particularly in favorable towards DC. The survey thing is interesting, and certainly we live in a world where something that a corporation asks to keep private probably won’t be, but Paquette’s response is still pretty good, and his last point is probably the best.

– Three actors – Holly Hunter, Callan Mulvey, and Tao Okamoto – have been cast in the sequel to Man of Steel. While no roles have been identified yet, it has been made clear that none of them are pre-existing DC Universe characters.

– Bruce Timm has made a new Batman short, debuting on April 9, on Cartoon Network’s “DC Nation” block. This, folks, is very good news.

– Johnny Knoxville and Tony Shalhoub will both be doing voices in the Michael Bay-directed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film. I know Knoxville strikes all of us as the leader/sword wielding type, so clearly he is voicing Leonardo. Shalhoub is cool but rude, but inexplicably will be voicing Splinter.

– A new Deathlok comic is on the way from Marvel, post-“Original Sin.” No creative team has yet to be named.

– The Walking Dead escape tour may be coming to a city near you!

– The “Fables” finale will be 150 pages long?!?

– And, finally, what is going on at DC? No, really. What is going on at DC?
