The Last Son of Krypton won't be alone in his crusade against evil when he returns to the big screen in Supermannext week. Joining him will be Mr. Terrific, a brilliant scientist and athlete who's using his talents to battle evildoers. He's played by Edi Gathegi, who insists that he isn't as friendly with the Big Blue Boy Scout as Clark Kent might think. During a set visit last summer, Gathegi spoke to the press, including Collider's Ross Bonaime, about his relationship with the Man of Steel.

Superman and Mr. Terrific may be allies in the war on crime, but they're not exactly Super Friends, says Gathegi:

"Superman thinks that Mr. Terrific is his Bff. It's not true. Thinks he's an herb. If you don't know what a herb is, you may be one. They are brothers in fighting crime, they're brothers in being heroes, but they don't have a lot in common.

The DC Universe is getting a bold refresh under James Gunn and Peter Safran, kicking off with the ‘Creature Commandos’ (2024) animated series and the upcoming ‘Superman’ (2025) film. This new era, called Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters, promises a connected world across movies, TV, and games, pulling from DC Comics’ rich history.

We’re thrilled to see how Gunn’s vision reintroduces familiar heroes, including eight iconic characters from the Arrowverse, the CW’s decade-long TV universe. These heroes, who shaped DC storytelling with crossovers like ‘Crisis on Infinite Earths’, are getting fresh versions in the Dcu. Let’s dive into who’s making the leap and what we can expect.

Superman Warner Bros.

The Man of Steel is the cornerstone of the Dcu, with David Corenswet taking on the role of Clark Kent in ‘Superman’ (2025). Unlike the Arrowverse’s Tyler Hoechlin, who starred in ‘Supergirl’ (2015-2021) and ‘Superman & Lois’ (2020-...

Superman star Edi Gathegi unveiled the physical and mental process he underwent to become Michael Holt/Mister Terrific. The actor will be the first to play the hero in a live-action theatrical project, marking a huge milestone for the character. Mister Terrific previously appeared in several animated and television projects, including the Arrowverse, in which Echo Kellum portrayed him. In addition to Gathegi, Superman stars David Corenswet, Nicholas Hoult, Rachel Brosnahan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Sara Sampaio, Wendell Pierce, Skylar Gisondo, and Frank Grillo, among others.

In an appearance on the DC Studios Showcase Podcast, Gathegi addressed the challenges of playing a character like Mister Terrific, who is both physically and mentally a powerhouse. When asked about his preparation for the role, the actor joked: "Well, as you know, Mr. Terrific has 14 PhDs... So my preparation was to learn my lines." He then continued:

You just can't really enter the...

Fans finally have confirmation of the origins of James Gunn's new Justice League team making their debut in the upcoming Superman movie. Gunn's rebooted DC universe is ready to hit the big screen for the first time on the back of David Corenswet as the Blue Brand's iconic Man of Steel, but he will not be the only comic book hero popping up in the new movie. Isabela Merced's Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner, and Echo Kellum's Mister Terrific will also appear, making up a super-powered squad known as the Justice Gang.

After months of speculation and plenty of online jokes at their name's expense, the curtain has been pulled back on how Superman's new Justice League team got their Justice Gang name. While the Justice League proper will not appear in the upcoming film, a new take on the team will be in the form of the Justice Gang,...

One of the interesting and relatively unknown characters set to make his big screen debut in James Gunn's Superman is "Mister Terrific." He first graced DC's pages in 1997's Spectre #54 (written by John Ostrander and illustrated by Tom Mandrake). On-screen, he will be played by Edi Gathegi and is supposed to be "the main character of those [other] characters [in the movie]."

Previously, he appeared live on the CW's Arrow (Echo Kellum) and had a few stints in animated projects, one was voiced by the Cosby-outing comedian Hannibal Burress. 

For Black History Month, it's important to celebrate Bipoc heroes and villains because the writers and artists didn't hold back when it came to creating diversity among the legion of characters. They have been given amazing powers--some cosmic, others mutant, and a few elite humans. Mister Terrific is the third smartest character in all DC lore, next to Lex Luthor and the Atom, Ray Palmer.

The release of the trailer for James Gunn's Superman film has set the Internet abuzz, in no small part due to its vibrant cast composed of many underrated DC characters. One standout inclusion is a long time coming, with Edi Gathegi bringing DC Comics superstar Mister Terrific to life in his first appearance on the big screen.

The Superman trailer has generated a lot of discussion for its willingness to dip into DC's more obscure cast of characters, with Krypto the Super Dog, Green Lantern Guy Gardner, and Hawkgirl all given premier billing. The appearance of Mister Terrific near the trailer's end is a welcome surprise, as this marks his big-screen debut despite being a major player in DC Comics for decades.

Despite being relatively obscure outside the comics, Mister Terrific is a lynchpin character in the DC universe, serving as the backbone for many critical superhero organizations, like...

Quick Links 'The Old Man' Is a Riveting Adaptation of the Thomas Perry Thriller Jeff Bridges Dazzles as Seasoned Former CIA Operative

Jeff Bridges is undeniably one of Hollywood's most illustrious and captivating entertainers, with the seasoned superstar's career spanning over seven decades and earning him many prestigious accolades, like an Academy Award and Golden Globe. Though he mastered the silver screen with unforgettable performances in hits like Tron, The Big Lebowski, Iron Man, and True Grit (among endless other classics), the charming leading man decided to try his hand at the world of television with the drama thriller The Old Man.

The riveting series is based on the Thomas Perry novel and features Bridges as war veteran and former CIA operative Dan Chase, who is forced to go on the run after years of hiding when he attracts the unwanted attention of the FBI, leading to an electrifying cat-and-mouse pursuit.

Two months after the Season 2 finale, the future of The Old Man on FX has been revealed. Unfortunately, it's not good news for fans of the series.

Per Deadline, FX has officially canceled The Old Man after two seasons, so there will not be a third season of the Jeff Bridges-led series. The show meeting its fate comes after wading through some troubled waters with its production for its two seasons. Season 1 began development in 2019 and was forced to shut down with just three episodes left to film because of the pandemic in 2020. Filming was further postponed as Bridges underwent cancer treatment; he announced in 2021 that his cancer was in remission, and production on The Old Man resumed in 2022.

Fans are waiting for the release of James Gunn's Superman next year, and while there's still several months left to go, a new teaser trailer will be providing a small sneak peek. Ahead of the teaser's release on Thursday, details about Edi Gathegi's role as Mr. Terrific were shared by Gunn straight from the set.

During a set visit attended by Cbr and other outlets, Gunn spoke about the film's incarnation of Mr. Terrific. When asked how he decided which DC characters to incorporate in Superman, the filmmaker and DC Studios co-ceo admitted that it was as simple as bringing in some of the characters he really loves. Gunn revealed that of all of the supporting roles in Superman, Gathegi's Mr. Terrific is the "main character of those characters," playing a major part in the movie's story.

Dropout’s “Very Important People” has a very important list of guest stars for Season 2. That starts off with Anna Garcia (“Superstore”), who plays “Zeke Aaron McKinley,” fourth grader who was turned into a rock formation after making a wish. Also set to appear this season: Comedians including Nicole Byer, Chris Redd, Bobby Moynihan, John Early, Kate Berlant, Paul F. Tompkins, Echo Kellum, Lisa Gilroy and Danielle Pinnock.

The premise of the comedic talk show, which comes from the team formerly known as CollegeHumor and host Vic Michaelis, is simple. It starts out as a chat between Michaelis and their guest — who has to come up with the character they’re going to play during the interview in five minutes, following a blind makeover.

Garcia is one of several “VIP” Season 1 guests and fellow Dropout stars who have returned this time, along with the well-known stars like Byer, Moynihan and Tompkins.

If you’ve been on the internet for any length of time since about 2013, you’ve run into the “Florida Man” meme, premised on the idea that, at any given moment, a Florida man is wilding out in a way that’s possibly criminal and definitely irrational. If a man is almost dying getting a lap dance from his housekeeper, snorting coke to hide evidence after fleeing a traffic stop or jogging shirtless in defiance of Hurricane Milton’s imminent landfall, he’s a Florida man. He’s been immortalized in a website, an Instagram feed, a subreddit and quasi-Olympic “Games” where competitors wrestle in muddy water and tussle while holding pitchers of beer.

However, no one knows when or why the silo was built and those who try to find out face fatal consequences. Rebecca Ferguson stars as Juliette, an engineer who seeks answers about a loved one’s murder and tumbles onto a mystery that goes far deeper than she could have ever imagined, leading her to discover that if the lies don’t kill you, the truth will.”

Theres nothing more exciting than seeing an A-List actor cast in an awesome action TV show. The best action TV shows ever generally feature actors who are relatively unknown or tend to stick to the smaller screen. So, when a massive name is attached to a project, viewers are far more likely to take an interest in it.

While some action TV shows are canceled too soon, the appearance of an A-lister often helps keep a series on the air. This is proved in other genres, too, and there are many great crime TV shows with A-List actors. From action-packed sequences with brilliant explosions and tense situations to subtler scenes with unexpected deaths and violence, these A-List actors are fantastic additions to these TV shows.

Superman: Legacy Heroes Set To Appear In This DC Film By James Gunn(Photo Credit –Instagram/Facebook/DC)

According to reports, James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy will have multiple heroes in it, including Supergirl. Fans eagerly await every update related to this Dcu movie but might be disappointed that Batman won’t appear in the upcoming film. Gunn revealed the news during a fan interaction on the social media platform.

David Corenswet is all set to take over Henry Cavill’s legacy as Clark Kent, and people are waiting to see his version come to life on screen soon. Gunn and his team are gearing up to begin filming in Atlanta, and they will reportedly start in March. The studio is currently looking for their Supergirl who, before having her solo movie, will appear in Superman: Legacy.

James Gunn recently posted a pic of him with María Gabriela De Faría on Threads,...

Exclusive: Lucas Kosoglad, who joined Odenkirk Provissiero Entertainment as a talent manager in 2020, has been promoted to partner at the boutique firm.

Known for cultivating a diverse roster of established and emerging multi-hyphenate talent, his clients include SNL cast members Ego Nwodim and James Austin Johnson, Allegra Edwards (Upload), Carl Tart (Grand Crew), Ariela Barer (How to Blow Up a Pipeline), Echo Kellum (Grand Crew), Brianna Baker (9-1-1 Lonestar), among many others.

“Lucas is an exceptionally smart, thoughtful, encouraging human and manager. We’re proud to call him partner,” said company founders Naomi Odenkirk and Marc Provissiero.

Kosoglad previously spent eight years in the talent department at Innovative Artists.

He joins fellow Odenkirk Provissiero Entertainment partners and colleagues DC Wade and Tiffany Schloesser.

Founded in 2009, the firm represents an array of clients both behind and in front of the camera.

The CW's Arrowverse began with a single hero who, let's face it, wasn't entirely heroic. Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) starts his journey as a vigilante murdering for a personal vendetta before her evolves into the hero everyone remembers. Along the way, Oliver inspires many other heroes, creating Team Arrow and, later, the Justice League. But over Arrow's eight seasons, Team Arrow grew to a ridiculous size, including heroes such as Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards), John Diggle (David Ramsey), Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy), Thea Queen (Willa Holland), Curtis Holt (Echo Kellum), Dinah Drake (Juliana Harkavy), Rene Ramirez (Rick Gonzalez), and several more. These characters have a wide range of skills, but none come close to matching Oliver. The size of the team pulls focus from the main character, and despite the many members, Oliver continues to carry the team as they rarely provide a substantial contribution. Yet one other...

After a world premiere at the San Sebastian International Film Festival and its North American premiere over the weekend at the Hamptons International Film Festival, Noah Pritzker’s (Quitters) second film goes for a mix of Woody Allen, John Cassavetes, Paul Mazursky, Noah Baumbach and other white male filmmakers, past and present, who enjoy basking in the midlife marital crisis in which many guys find themselves trapped. While not on the level of those acclaimed filmmakers, in this case, Pritzker manages to cast his net wider into an early-, mid-, and late-life crisis over three generations of the men in the Pearce clan.

The result is an engaging indie exercise that’s for sale to any distributor who finds promise in a premise that might be a tough sell for mainstream buyers despite a game cast that lifts it up a notch or two. Art houses would seem to be its theatrical future,...

It was eight years ago this week that Arrow kicked off what would be known as its “Mystery Grave” season, seeing as the opener ended with a “Six Months Later” flash-forward that saw Barry Allen arrive late for the funeral of someone clearly close to Oliver Queen.

The only clues we had to go on from that startling, minute-long stinger was that Oliver felt responsibility for whomever‘s death, and as such now was resolved “to kill him,” the person responsible for it.

Stephen Amell's initial reaction to the meme of Grant Gustin next to Oliver Queen's grave was harsh, as he told everyone who reuses it to "kindly f-ck off." Recently, Grant Gustin recreated the meme at a convention, which makes Amell's reaction appear even harsher now. The meme of Gustin next to the grave has become a popular and beloved part of Arrow's legacy, despite Amell's disapproval.

In light of Grant Gustin recreating the meme of him posing next to Oliver Queen's grave from the set of Arrow, DC star Stephen Amell's initial reaction comes across as even harsher. The Arrow series finale dealt with the aftermath of series protagonist, Oliver Queen (Amell), dying during the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover. Given the interweaving stories of the Arrowverse, it made sense for other characters, like Gustin's Barry Allen, to attend Oliver's funeral, which is how the meme was spawned.

Tom Huang has built himself a unique resume as a director. His works range from comedies like “Why Am I Doing This?” to dramas such as “Find Me.” For his latest feature, which he also wrote the screenplay for, he would incorporate elements that draw influence from his personal experiences with his family. “Dealing with Dad” would receive positive audience feedback and take home numerous awards from various film festivals.

Regardless of what you might think about James Gunn, there’s no denying that he’s really come a long way since he directed 2014’s ‘Guardians of the Galaxy.’ Back then, he was an unknown filmmaker who was promising a lot thanks to his first superhero movie.

Now, nine years, three ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ movies, and two DC projects (‘The Suicide Squad’ and ‘Peacemaker’) later, he’s the co-ceo of DC Studios, working on the upcoming reboot of Dceu, officially called Dcu. And what’s even more important, he officially signed to write and direct ‘Superman: Legacy,’ the movie that will officially kick off Dcu in exactly two years!

Gunn likes to give his followers on social media constant teases about the project’s development, and although the plot is being kept under wraps, we still know a handful of things. We know that the movie won’t depict Clark Kent’s origin story,...

Kirk DeMicco’s Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken feels torn between being a story of racial difference and offering a compelling vision of teenage growing pains. Sweet but narratively thin and didactic, the latest from DreamWorks Animation always seems as if it’s trying to find its footing, which is apt insofar as its main character, a 15-year-old champion mathlete named Ruby (Lana Condor), is trying to understand her place in the world.

Ruby goes through high school wondering why her parents, Agatha (Toni Collette) and Arthur (Colman Domingo), are so strict about keeping her away from sea water.

“Young Rock” is done.

NBC made the decision official on Friday, canceling the half-hour comedy series inspired by Dwayne Johnson’s life after three seasons.

“Young Rock” followed young Dwayne Johnson as he navigated his rise from unknown wrestler to Hollywood superstar. Together, Dwayne and his unorthodox family faced locker room politics, new rivalries and the perils of burgeoning fame as he found his voice in the WWE as The Rock. Told through stories from his own life, the show followed Dwayne’s journey to the top and the characters that kept him grounded — even as he set his sights on ever-bigger arenas.

Adrian Groulx, Bradley Constant and Uli Latukefu played young Dwayne during various stages of his childhood. Joseph Lee Anderson portrayed Dwayne’s late father, Rocky, while Stacey Leilua played his mother, Ata.

The show wrapped its third (and now final) season Feb. 24, averaging less than 2 million viewers per episode.

The fate of American Auto is still up in the air, but NBC has confirmed the fate of half-hour comedies Grand Crew and Young Rock. Grand Crew, starring Echo Kellum, Nicole Byer, Aaron Jennings, Justin Cunningham, Carl Tart, and Grasie Mercedes, is closing shop after just two seasons. The third season of Young Rock – based on the life of Dwayne Johnson and starring/executive produced The Rock – is the series’ final season, as NBC has opted not to renew the comedy for season four.

Filling one of the now vacated primetime slots will be St. Denis Medical, a new mockumentary-style comedy that’s just been given a series order by the network. NBC’s announcement of the scheduling moves included this description of the new show: “A mockumentary about an underfunded, understaffed...

Sorry, Dwayne Johnson. You’ve been canceled. NBC announced today that they have canceled Young Rock after three seasons.

Young Rock spanned decades of Dwayne Johnson’s life, chronicling his beginnings as a headstrong kid to playing football at the University of Miami to the early days of his professional wrestling career. Dwayne Johnson also plays a future version of himself who is running for president of the United States in the 2032 election. The series started off strong, averaging 3 million viewers per episode in its first season, but the third and now final season of the series found those numbers tumbling to an average of 1.4 million viewers per episode.

In addition to Dwayne Johnson as himself, Young Rock also starred Joseph Lee Anderson as Rocky Johnson, Stacey Leilua as Ata Johnson, Ana Tuisila as Lia Maivia, Adrian Groulx as 10 to 14-year-old Dwayne aka Dewey, Bradley Constant as 15 to 17-year-old Dwayne,...

NBC has canceled “Grand Crew” after two seasons and “Young Rock” after three seasons.

“Grand Crew,” which comes from Phil Augusta Jackson and Dan Goor (“Brooklyn Nine-Nine”), followed friends Noah, Nicky, Sherm, Anthony, Wyatt and Fay as they navigated the ups and downs of life and unpacked it all at their favorite wine bar.

The cast includes Echo Kellum, Nicole Byer, Aaron Jennings, Justin Cunningham, Carl Tart and Grasie Mercedes. The hangout comedy is produced by Universal Television, with Jackson and Goor serving as executive producers.

St. Denis Medical, in the vein of ABC’s breakout Emmy darling Abbott Elementary, is described as a mockumentary about an underfunded, understaffed Oregon hospital where the dedicated doctors and nurses try their best to treat patients while maintaining their own sanity. Wendi McClendon-Covey stars in the Universal TV series, marking her first role after she wrapped a 10-season...

“Young Rock” and “Grand Crew” have both been canceled at NBC.

“Young Rock” premiered in February of 2021 and concluded its third season in February of this year.
