Pierce Brosnan Says He Has Heard Doctor Fate Will Return in New Superman Movie

In a recent interview with GQ, actor Pierce Brosnan revealed he has heard rumors that his DC character, Doctor Fate, could appear in the upcoming Superman sequel, tentatively referred to as Man of Tomorrow. Brosnan, who portrayed the sorcerer Kent Nelson in the 2022 film Black Adam, stated he also heard whispers of a potential solo movie or TV series for the character.

Key points from the article:

• Brosnan's Interest: Despite his character dying in Black Adam, Brosnan expressed that he loved the role and its philosophy, confirming he would "definitely be open" to returning to the DC Universe (DCU).
• Context: The article notes that while Black Adam was a critical and commercial disappointment, Brosnan’s performance was widely considered a highlight.
• Plausibility: Nerdist speculates that a return isn't impossible, as DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn is retaining some elements from the previous universe (such as Peacemaker) and the new Superman film is expected to feature other superheroes.

Mamoru Oshii's 1987 live-action film, The Red Spectacles, the first in his surrealist sci-fi Kerberos Saga, has received a 4K restoration and will screen at New York's Metrograph starting November 21. Previously difficult to view in high quality, the restoration was made possible by a successful crowdfunding campaign initiated by Oshii. The film, which blends absurdity, political allegory, and existential themes, follows an exiled former paramilitary officer returning to a bizarre and changed Tokyo.

Miles Teller, who played Reed Richards in the 2015 Fantastic Four film, attributes the movie's failure to "one really important person" who "f***ed it all up." Although Teller didn't explicitly name anyone, the article suggests he was likely referring to director Josh Trank, with whom he reportedly had a difficult relationship on set. Trank himself publicly disavowed the finished film before its release, stating it was not the movie he intended to make. The 2015 reboot was a critical and commercial disaster, leading to a decade-long hiatus for the franchise until the recent MCU reboot.

A new Star Trek movie is in development with John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein set to write and direct. This new film will be entirely unconnected to any previous Star Trek movies or timelines, featuring new characters and offering a fresh take on the franchise. Given the directors' previous work on Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves and Game Night, the movie is expected to have a strong comedic flair. While a fourth Star Trek film with Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto was recently scrapped, this new project signals Paramount's continued efforts to expand the cinematic universe, though it's not expected before 2027.

Christopher Nolan's upcoming film The Odyssey, based on the ancient Greek epic poem, involved shooting over two million feet of film, entirely with IMAX cameras, a first for any movie[1]. This massive undertaking required 91 days of filming, with much of the production taking place at sea to authentically capture the challenging journeys of the time[1]. Nolan had previously been considered to direct 2004's Troy, and The Odyssey allows him to bring a world he's envisioned for decades to life[1].
