The week on The Nerdpocalypse Podcast, we have some major updates from Hollywood. First, we mourn the loss of beloved actor Lance Reddick, known for his roles in The Wire and John Wick franchise. He passed away at the age of 60, leaving behind a legacy that will be remembered by many.
Next up, Paramount Pictures has announced that Robert Downey Jr. will likely star in a remake of the classic Alfred Hitchcock film Vertigo. Fans haven't seen much from the actor after his final performance in one of the biggest films of all time, Avengers: Endgame.
In other news, rumors have surfaced that Deadpool 3 will feature appearances from Agent Moebius and Miss Minutes from the popular Disney+ series, Loki, as well as the Merc with a Mouth taking on the Time Variance Authority (TVA).
Meanwhile, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has reportedly been behind the complete mess that happened between his film, Black Adam, and the Shazam film series. Johnson is said to have stopped cameos from the aforementioned series as he had sought to center himself as the big bad in the DC Universe.
Speaking of superheroes, director Zack Snyder recently announced a SnyderCon screening of his DC Extended Universe movies, including his controversial cut of Justice League. Fans in Los Angeles will get a chance to see Man of Steel, Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, and for the first time Snyder's cut of Justice League which is four hours long with a Q&A session with the director afterward.
In other film news, 'Transparent' star Trace Lysette has been cast in the upcoming movie 'Monica,' alongside Patricia Clarkson. The film tells the story of a mother and daughter who must confront their complicated past as her daughter has transitioned into being a woman. The film is the first transgender-led film to be a headline contender at the Venice Film Festival.
Finally, Apple and Amazon have announced plans to go after the movie theater business in a bigger way, with the goal of expanding their content distribution and exhibition capabilities. And in Marvel news, Victoria Alonso, who has been with the studio since its inception, was removed from her position. Fans are speculating about what this means for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
