The post Fans Still Holding Out Hope For Stargirl Season 4 Renewal appeared first on Small Screen.

]]>
Fans are still holding out hope that The CW won’t decide to cancel Stargirl after just three seasons and that Season 4 will become a reality.

So, what’s going on with Stargirl and why are fans a bit worried about the show’s future on The CW?

Well, it all has to do with what’s been going on internally at the network.

They’ve been cancelling shows left, right and centre, and that’s not normal for them.

They recently announced that they had cancelled Naomi, Batwoman and DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow.

Do you notice a common theme between those three shows?

They’re all DC Comics properties, and so is Stargirl!

Stargirl’s also been in a bit of a strange place ever since the end of Season 2.

It was announced in May 2021 that the show had been renewed for a third season on The CW.

However, since then, there has not been much news on what’s been going on with the third season.

Will Stargirl Season 4 happen on The CW?

Stargirl Season 3 is scheduled to be released on The CW this year, but we still haven’t had a release date yet.

Moreover, with the news that all the other DC Comics series on The CW apart from The Flash and Superman & Lois have been cancelled, it’s starting to look a bit worrying for Stargirl Season 4.

Fans have taken to Twitter to express their desire to see a fourth season of The CW series.

Bam Smack Power on Twitter wrote: “We’re holding out so much hope that Stargirl will get that season 4 renewal. As bleak as today has been for The CW, the hope is that the network’s sudden lack of content should work in Stargirl’s favor. It needs some shows, and Stargirl is a solid performer.

The CW can’t cancel Stargirl as well!

Another fan added: “Give Stargirl a S4 please these three shows together have so much potential together.”

A third Twitter user said: “I hope they don’t cancel Stargirl too.”

Honestly, I don’t know what’s going to happen with Stargirl Season 4.

That said, given The CW’s recent slew of cancellations, it’s not looking great.

However, that doesn’t mean you should lose hope for a fourth season.

It could still happen and we think it should!

Naomi Has Been Cancelled By The CW – No Season 2 https://www.small-screen.co.uk/naomi-has-been-cancelled-by-the-cw-no-season-2/ https://www.small-screen.co.uk/naomi-has-been-cancelled-by-the-cw-no-season-2/#respond Thu, 12 May 2022 21:29:20 +0000 https://www.small-screen.co.uk/?p=38536 No Naomi Season 2

The post Naomi Has Been Cancelled By The CW – No Season 2 appeared first on Small Screen.

]]>
It’s just been revealed that The CW has cancelled Naomi which means that fans of the show won’t get to watch Season 2.

This news comes to us via Deadline.

This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise since The CW’s been cancelling a lot of its shows recently, especially their DC Comics ones.

This is probably due to the fact that The CW is about to be sold and therefore they are cleaning house, in a manner of speaking.

Warner Bros has been looking to sell the network for quite some time now and it looks like they are close to getting the deal finalised.

This means that Warner Bros would have wanted to have all their DC Comics properties returned before the sale goes through.

The idea is that they want to be able to make shows based on DC Comics properties for HBO Max.

Naomi cancelled by The CW, so no Season 2!

That said, there are some DC Comics shows that are getting final seasons at The CW.

They are The Flash and Superman & Lois.

However, it does look like those will be the last seasons of those shows, at least on The CW.

As for Naomi, the show was produced by Ava DuVernay and it’s just come to the end of its first season on The CW.

Naomi Season 1’s finale was written by DuVernay and Jill Blankenship and it lasted for two-hour, which is quite unusual for a CW series.

Other DC Comics shows that have been cancelled by The CW include Batwoman and DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow.

Are you sad to hear that Naomi has been cancelled by The CW and that we won’t be getting a Season 2?

May Calamawy brilliantly played Lyla in Disney Plus’ Moon Knight series and she also played the Scarlet Scarab towards the end of the series.

Calamawy recently revealed in an interview with The Wrap that she would like to see a Scarlet Scarab solo series on Disney Plus.

She ended up becoming the superhero towards the end of the series and she was great in the role.

I loved all of her action sequences in Moon Knight’s finale.

It would be wonderful to get to see more of May Calamawy’s Scarlet Scarab because she’s such a wonderful character and Lyla is brilliant.

There hasn’t been any news yet on whether we’ll get to see either Oscar Isaac or May Calamawy back in the MCU after Moon Knight.

Here’s what Calamawy had to say when she was asked about starring in a Scarlet Scarab solo series:

I’ve never been in a movie. Well, at this iteration of my life where I’m at now, I haven’t been in a movie and I would love to experience that. A Moon Knight movie would be wonderful. Now, if they are open to a Scarlet Scarab spinoff I’m not going to say no. (laughs). Or not even a Scarlet Scarab spinoff, even a Season 2. But my hope is that Moon Knight does jump into the film world”.

It sounds to me as though Calamawy is just desperate to return to the MCU as Lyla and Scarlet Scarab.

I think that Moon Knight fans would also love to see her return.

Doctor Strange 2 (Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness) is in cinemas now and fans were hoping to see Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool cameo in the movie.

WARNING: Before you continue reading this article, I must warn you that SPOILERS for Doctor Strange 2 are coming up!

Right, now that we got all that out of the way and the people who haven’t watched Doctor Strange 2 yet for some reason are gone, we can carry on talking about the latest MCU movie.

So, after watching the movie, you would have all realised that Deadpool was not in the movie, despite all the claims from scoopers that he would be.

Ryan Reynolds himself revealed that he wasn’t going to be in the movie, and he wasn’t lying.

Some fans thought they could see Reynolds’ Deadpool in one of the shards of glass in Doctor Strange 2’s poster.

Marvel did think about bringing Deadpool into Doctor Strange 2

However, according to writer Michael Waldron, they did talk about bringing Deadpool into the movie.

Here’s what Waldron had to say when he asked about Deadpool being in Doctor Strange 2 during an interview with ComicBook.com:

Yeah, we talked about it. I think we talked about everything in this movie. So, [it] would’ve been crazy to not raise that, but it ultimately didn’t feel like… It just didn’t feel the right place. But yeah, of course, we talked about it.

It would have been great to get to see Reynolds’ Deadpool in the movie.

However, it might have been one cameo too much for the movie if you tried to fit Deadpool in there as well.

Johnny Depp is going to return to the witness stand in his defamation trial against Amber Heard, which is an interesting new development.

Depp has already testified in his defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife, Amber Heard.

The court is currently on hiatus and we are currently halfway through Amber Heard’s testimony which is part of the defence’s case.

According to Law & Crime, Depp will be called back to the witness stand in the case against Amber Heard.

We’re also going to get to hear testimony from Heard’s sister, Whitney Henriquez and actor Ellen Barkin.

It’s going to be very interesting to hear what Whitney and Ellen have to say about what they are claiming went on between Heard and Depp when they were married.

The Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation trial will continue next week

Mr Depp and Heard have given very different accounts of what happened when they were married.

Ms Henriquez was reportedly present during several of the key moments when the couple allegedly fought or argued.

As for Ellen Barkin, the actress had a short relationship with Johnny Depp whilst on the set of the movie, Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas.

It’s being reported that she is going to be giving her deposition via video link.

Barkin has previously alleged that Johnny Depp threw a wine bottle across a Las Vegas hotel room once whilst they were filming the movie together.

However, Johnny Depp said during the 2020 court case against The Sun in the United Kingdom that she made this claim due to a grudge she held over unreciprocated feelings.

This news was revealed by Deadline and they also added that A Simple Favor’s director Paul Feig would also be helming this project.

It was also revealed that Feig will produce the movie with Laura Fischer.

Jessica Sharzer is writing the screenplay.

Feigco Entertainment is set to produce A Simple Favor’s sequel.

Sharzer will executive produce.

Honestly, the first film was one of my favourite films to come out in 2018.

It was great fun and both Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick perfect in the film.

The first movie follows a single mother, Stephanie, played by Anna Kendrick who runs a parenting vlog.

She ends up befriending a secretive upper-class woman, Emily, played by Lively who has a child at the same elementary school.

When Emily goes missing, Stephanie decides to investigate and find out where she’s disappeared to.

WARNING: There are SPOILERS for Doctor Strange 2 and Charlize Theron’s involvement in the movie in this article.

Before Doctor Strange 2 (Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness) was released there had been some rumours that Charlize Theron was going to cameo in the movie.

Well, I was sitting there when the credits on the movie started to roll and I did start to wonder where Charlize Theron was in the movie.

Then the mid-credits scene started and all was revealed.

Charlize Theron turned up in the scene as Clea and she is a very interesting character in the Marvel Comics.

Clea actually had a relationship with Doctor Strange and she ended up becoming the Sorcerer Supreme of the Dark Dimension.

However, there’s been a lot of dark moments with Clea in the comics.

She’s ended up becoming Strange’s enemy in some comic book runs and she is extremely powerful.

In the mid-credits scene, Clea tells Doctor Strange, “You caused an incursion, and we’re going to fix it.”

Strange doesn’t seem to recognise her, but nonetheless, he joins her in stepping into a portal to her home: the Dark Dimension.

It’s going to be very interesting to see what Doctor Strange and Clea get up to in the MCU after this first meeting.

Sir Ian McKellen has revealed via a post on Facebook that he believes Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch and his Magneto should be father and daughter in the MCU.

Here’s what McKellen actually wrote in his Facebook post:

If I had a daughter, I’d hope she’d be like Elizabeth. A treat to be her Daddy!

Underneath this caption, he included a link to an interview Olsen did with Geek Culture.

In that interview, Elizabeth Olsen revealed that she would love to work with Sir Ian McKellen on a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie.

She actually revealed that his version of Magneto should be the Scarlet Witch’s father.

That would make quite a bit of sense because Magneto is Scarlet Witch’s father in the comic books.

Oh… [laughs] I’m gonna go with Sir Ian McKellen. I had the biggest crush on him. He’s in these videos called Playing Shakespeare where actors get together and they do a Shakespeare… It’s a video series. He’s like the sexiest man in the world so I would say Sir Ian McKellen.

Olsen said this after the release of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and that movie certainly pushes Phase Four forward.

Could Ian McKellen’s Magneto be brought into the MCU?

After Doctor Strange 2, it wouldn’t be implausible to see McKellen’s version of Magneto be brought into the MCU.

Fans have also been wondering where Olsen’s Scarlet Witch will appear next.

Well, Olsen did have a few things to say about her future in the MCU during an interview with Extra.

We got to do so much with the character, so much with the story and I just wanted to make sure that we continued the evolution into this film and to play things that our fans or the audience haven’t seen her do yet. There’s a couple different versions of what could happen at the end of this film. Mostly, I want to hear what the fans who know her best, what they would like to see from her next.”

The post A New Batman Podcast Has Dethroned Joe Rogan On Spotify appeared first on Small Screen.

It’s been revealed that a new Batman podcast has ended up dethroning Joe Rogan’s podcast on Spotify which is a pretty big deal for the new show.

The Batman podcast is called Batman Unburied and it’s a brilliant podcast to listen to for all Batman and DC fans.

It stars the likes of Lance Reddick who plays Thomas Wayne in the podcast.

He’s joined by Winston Duke as Bruce Wayne, Jason Isaacs as Alfred Pennyworth, Hasan Minhaj as The Riddler and Gina Rodriguez as Barbara Gordon.

The really interesting thing about this podcast is that it seems to be set in an alternate universe.

Bruce Wayne is a forensic pathologist with Gotham Hospital in this show and he’s tasked with examining the victims of The Harvester, a gruesome serial killer preying on Gotham’s citizens.

The Batman Unburied podcast has beaten Joe Rogan’s show on Spotify!

Not only will the superhero be forced to face his own mental demons, but he will also have to overcome them in order to save the citizens of Gotham as his alter-ego, Batman.

Bruce’s father, Thomas Wayne and his mother, Martha Wayne, are both alive in this universe.

However, it does seem as though Bruce is still reliving the moment his parents were shot in that dark alley in Gotham.

So, there could be some sort of connection to another universe in which Bruce lost his parents in that shooting.

This podcast has proven to be so popular with Spotify subscribers that it’s ended up dethroning the king of podcasts on the platform, Joe Rogan.

It’s going to be very interesting to see whether this podcast manages to stay in that number one spot for the entirety of its run.

The post The Best Football Movies You Need To Watch appeared first on Small Screen.

]]>
Football is without a doubt the world’s most popular sport and there have been some pretty good movies made about the beautiful game.

Statistics show that there are over 3 billion fans, which is truly a breathtaking fact.

Throughout the years, we’ve been able to witness numerous legends do their magic on the pitch and we’ve seen some of the best matches that we’ll remember forever.

Football fans are known for their passion and love for their clubs and that is one of the things that makes this game so great.

Apart from supporting their clubs in the stands, football fans are no strangers to having an extra bit of fun off the pitch.

They do that by placing occasional bets. Apart from testing their knowledge, they get to experience the thrill that comes from wagering on today’s football.

Not only that but they are also known to watch a lot of football-related movies, which is exactly the topic that we are going to discuss in this article.

We will be listing a few of the best football movies you need to watch, so without any further ado, let’s dive into the details.

The Class of ’92

READ MORE: Here Are All The Movies Coming Out In Phase 4 Of The MCU And Their Release Dates

The Class of ’92 is a documentary movie about Manchester United’s golden generation that broke through in the senior team in 1992.

Back then, United was in the race for multiple titles but had a lack of players to maintain at the top.

Many people believed that Sir Alex Ferguson would be making a few transfers, but instead, he decided to give players for the club’s youth academy a chance.

Six players were brought into the senior team – David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt, Ryan Gigs, Phill Neville and Gary Neville.

Not only did they live up to the expectations, but they managed to become one of the biggest club legends.

Their story is truly motivational and locked in the football history books, which is why this movie is a must-watch.

Goal! Trilogy

If you want to be a passionate football fan, then the Goal! trilogy is something that you can’t miss.

This is a movie about Santiago Muñez, a massive football fanatic that lived in poverty in Mexico.

He moved to Los Angeles with his family as illegal immigrants and started chasing his dream of becoming one of the best football players in the world.

He faces many problems and setbacks on his quest, but he wants to make sure that he will do anything that he can to reach the top and become a legend of the game.

Will he succeed in his quest or will he be a player that never got to shine?

Pelé (2021)

READ MORE: The Best Football Documentaries of All Time

Pelé is viewed by many football fans as one of the biggest legends of the game.

He is Brazil’s all-time top scorer and the most successful player of the 20th century.

Although new generations will not be able to watch him do his magic live, they will be able to learn everything about his career and his rise to the top by watching his documentary.

The documentary was released in 2021 and it follows his story in football, starting from a young age.

One thing that is worth noting about Pelé is that his achievement of scoring 1,279 goals in 1,363 games is included in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Shaolin Soccer

If you want to take a break from documentaries and serious football-related stories, then Shaolin Soccer is the movie to watch.

This is comedy at its peak and we recommend you watch this film with your friends.

The movie was released in 2001 and it features a former Shaolin monk that reunites with his 5 brothers and they apply their skills to play football, but on the road to greatness, they are faced with some challenges.

Diego Maradona (2019)

The final listing here is another documentary about a legend of the game that rose right after Pelé retired from football.

Even though Diego Maradona passed away in 2020, his legacy will live forever and he will be remembered as a player that lived life to the fullest.
