ARROWSpeaking of "Arrow," ComicBook.com has a report from Stephen Amell's panel at Phoenix Comic Con, where the star revealed that Harley Quinn was originally set to be a part of the season two finale.

"I don't know if she's going to be involved in Season Three but the high-pitched voice in Episode 16, 'Suicide Squad,' was absolutely Harley Quinn," Amell said during the panel. "I didn't know about any of this, by the way, because I wasn't in that scene. But I'm a fan and I remember seeing that preview and feeling like I should have known that this was going to happen! ... I also know that there was an additional scene with that character in the finale -- again, still in the cell, still with her back to us -- but it had to be cut for time."

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXYRonan the Accuser himself, Lee Pace, spoke with Yahoo! Movies bringing the character to life in the film.

"I've never played a character like Ronan before. I like a bombastic villain, and that's what I had a good time doing. It was the most fun playing this character... I was stronger than I've ever been, doing all this training, and the character is just a beast. He's just so evil. At first when I started working on him, I was thinking, 'We've seen so many great performances of villains by very talented actors in superhero movies. I've got to find something relatable about this guy.' But the more I played him, the more fun I had with just being evil. [Laughs] Evil, evil, evil. He's an alien - there's no kind of human rules. There's nothing to relate to, actually. It just became, like, the more dark I could conceive of him, the more I understood him."
