THOR: RAGNAROK





Latino Review has heard a rumor regarding the role that "Creed's" Tessa Thompson will play in "Ragnarok." According to the unnamed source, Thompson may be playing Valkyrie. Considering Valkyrie's role in the comics as a superhero in her own right, that seems to fit with how Thompson's mystery character was described when she was cast. It was previously reported that Thompson will play both Thor's love interest and "kind of a superhero."

"Simon and I have been trying to build bridges," said Miller.

"I would love to see it," said Kinberg. "Both of us are close with [Marvel's] Kevin [Feige], we respect and love Kevin. If it were even remotely possible, we will find a way 'cause we'd would love to see it." But, Kinberg stated for the record, "I just don't know if it would be possible."

THE FLASH

Teddy Sears spoke to EW about the upcoming "Flash" season finale and diving into Zolomon's origin.

"What's really exciting about going and looking at Hunter Zolomon's origin story is that it very closely mirrors the Barry Allen origin story," said Sears.

"It's very sophisticated. I mean, it's got a '90s hip-hop vibe, but it's really forward-thinking. We have Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad doing the scoring for us," said Coker. "We have a lot of different musical appearances, but at the same time, we've got the Marvel action. We've got drama. I would like this to be, I mean, I know this is heavy but, 'The Wire' of Marvel television, because we really deal with a lot of different issues."

SUICIDE SQUAD

While speaking with Collider, director David Ayer revealed how he felt directing Ben Affleck's Batman in "Suicide Squad."

"I mean look, as a kid I was a fan of DC Comics," said Ayer. "I read them, I love Batman. Batman was always my favorite superhero, and then to have him walk on my set one day was an incredible experience. Even my cynical, hard-bitten movie crew got quiet when that happened. And Ben's a great dude, he's a good guy to work with."

While speaking with the LA Times, Margot Robbie spoke about Harley Quinn's role as the manipulator of the Suicide Squad.

"She's definitely one of the more unpredictable members of the squad," Robbie said. "She also used to be a psychiatrist so she has an extensive knowledge of mental illnesses and how to manipulate people -- I'm sorry, well, she has a lot of knowledge on how to profile people, pick their triggers, and as Harley Quinn she kind of utilizes that to just manipulate people and mess with them. And she definitely does that with the squad. She's always picking someone to be dissecting and playing off and messing with."
