But it turns out that the actor had something much more interesting in mind.How Ewan McGregor Helped Bring Back Obi WanSpeaking to the TV Line podcast…

Image: ParamountThe Flash movie has been in development for a long time and burned through so many directors before WB eventually settled on It’s Andy Muschietti to take the reigns. Included in that mix of would-be filmmakers are John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, who were attached back in 2018. That lasted for roughly a year before the two left the project over creative differences, which eventually led to them writing and directing Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.Goldstein and Daley never really…

Screenshot: Warner Bros.Multiverses are all the rage in superhero movies nowadays, but they can be a tough idea for non-nerds to wrap their heads around. Non-nerds like, say, Michael Shannon, who played the Superman villain General Zod in 2013's Man of Steel.
