BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE

While speaking with Premiere, "BvS" production designer Patrick Tatopoulos talked about the reveal of Doomsday in the film's latest trailer.

"We are able to tell a story in a fresh way," Tatopoulos told Premiere as reported by ComicBook.com. "Doomsday is an evolution essentially. Fans may be aware of 'The Death of Superman' story, but this is handled in such a new way."

He continued to say that "Doomsday isn't just the final act" and that there's actually a "larger threat" and that viewers will be surprised by the "timeframe of how things fall into place."

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR

While talking with Entertainment Weekly Radio's "Behind the Scenes" on Sirius XM, Chadwick Boseman teased that we will see Black Panther negotiating the superhero accords in the film. Boseman said that as a world leader, T'Challa sees a need to make sure that there is "some sort of control over these super powers," similar to nuclear weapons. He added that Black Panther will be torn between tradition and how "things need to happen now in this new world," and that he feels a need to live up to his father's legacy and the "legacy of the entire nation of Wakanda."

Boseman did definitively state that Black Panther is far from being spoiled, like Thor, who is also a member of Marvel Universe royalty. Boseman added that while he doesn't think T'Challa is "trying to get along with anyone," he still has some "James Bond"-esque charm.

LUKE CAGE

Mike Colter spoke with CBR about "Luke Cage" and the internal problems his character will face in the series.

"'Luke Cage' happens over some time after the 'Jessica Jones' series," said Colter. "He is reeling from the experience that happens in 'Jessica,' and he's trying to get himself back on track. His bar was blown up, and now, he has to start over again. He's just got to figure out where he is now, and what he's doing with his life because he wants to define himself as a man, define himself in society and try to deal with his own demons. Just like Jessica had to deal with her demons, he has to deal with his demons, and that's where he starts. I can't tell you much more, but it will be interesting! It will be interesting and very unique."
