The Rundown: “The Sixth Gun” Lead is Cast, DC Comes to their Senses, and more

Welcome back to The Rundown, our daily breakdown on news stories we missed from the previous day. Have a link to share? Email me at david@multiversitycomics.com.

– The NBC adaptation of Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt’s The Sixth Gun is going to pilot – which we knew – and now it has its star. Laura Ramsey (The Ruins) has been cast as Becky Montcrief, the keeper of The Sixth Gun and the co-lead of the show. No idea who will be cast as Drake Sinclair yet, but I can’t say I know anything about Ramsey. Here’s hoping she’s awesome. Spinoff has a few more names in the article – including who will be playing Oliander Hume – but come onnnn Jude Law for Drake (not going to happen but that would be awesome!).

– DC comes to their senses – thank god – by getting rid of the WTF month branding. That might be their best decision in the past year. Newsarama has the story and more.

– Most vague, yet interesting, rumor ever? Oh Rich.

– Could Robert Downey, Jr. be on the way out as Tony Stark after Iron Man 3? To me, it’s hard to imagine Marvel letting that happen, but Downey has always been…mercurial. IGN has quotes from Downey and Feige, but it’s strange to think of this as a possibility.

– Finally, in my home of Alaska, rookie Iditarod dog musher Christine Roalofs was featured in the Anchorage Daily News. That’s not important to me. What is happens to be the names of her two dogs: Nightcrawler and Storm. Hell yes Christine Roalofs!
