Here's an all-new full trailer for the upcoming Apple TV+ alternate reality series For All Mankind that imagines Soviet Russia landing on the Moon first. SJWs rejoice! lol

The producer and showrunner for this show is the same guy who made the Battlestar Galactica reboot, and that show noticeably had a lack of Black people in prominent roles. I can't help to notice that there isn't one black male with a speaking line in the trailer, and the only black woman seems like a c-story character.

I'm aware that it takes place in the '60s or early '70s, but if they can pretend that American society made women astronauts a priority in the 60s they could at least pretend that Black people got the same social uplift.

Most of Apple TV+ programming lacks black male characters especially leading black males if you seen their roll out for upcoming shows.

if this was the case across all streaming services and TV then I would see that as a problem, but it's not.

But there are some shows I'm interested in like Afterlife... and See.

To be clear I have enjoyed plenty of shows without black Male leads, the issue I have with the trailer for this show as it appears that the show takes place around the same time as the civil rights era, yet the only hints at social equality seems to be for women. I'd be willing to give the show the benefit of the doubt, however the showrunners penchant for marginalizing black characters in large ensembles leaves me weary.

Yes you are correct, but it does go with how feminist feels about us. lol. It seeps into storylines in TV and movies every now and then.

Sweet! But to be honest I wasn't worried because there was far too much money on the table for either side to walk away from.

Of course they had to let Marvel be a part of any third Spider-Man movie. Too many ties to the MCU with this current interation of the character for Sony to handle the character until Peter Parker's story is done in the MCU.
 
The CW has revealed the first image of Brandon Routh as Kingdom Come Superman in DC’s Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event series. As you can see, he looks awesome in the role!

I always like Routh in the role of Superman. While I wasn’t a big fan of Superman Returns, Routh was great in the role, and I’m happy to see him get to play the character again.

Kingdom Come Superman was introduced in a DC comic miniseries from Mark Waid and Alex Ross. It gave us an older, darker take on Superman as his faith in humanity and their reliance on superheroes is destroyed. He ends up retreating to the Fortress of Solitude. In has absence there is a rise of dangerous super villains, and years later, when he returns to reform the Justice League, they construct a prison to put all these villains in.

The Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover will unite the entire Arrowverse series franchise – Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, and Batwoman. It’s a five-episode epic that will span two quarters, with three episodes airing in December and the two concluding installments debuting in January.

If they would have been smart with their casting Tom Welling looking his true age should have been Kingdom Come Superman and revealed to be the Smallville Superman, but that's just me.

Yeah, but I bet Tom's not going to put on the outfit. That was always his caveat for doing the role. So, that wouldn't have worked out. Kingdom Come Superman without the costume would suck.

We'll see about him not wearing the suit. He didn't wear the suit because he didn't want to be typecast. Then once Smallville was done he basically dropped off the Hollywood map to play husband & father in real life. The most notable thing he's done in the last few years has ironically been comic book based, playing Cain on the show Lucifer.

Didn't he have some SWAT or special forces type of show on CBS for a min? I don't think it did too well. I'm too lazy to search for it. ...lol

I wish Rosenblum would come back for Lex or even the Flash. But, that's not happening. He passed on it because he wasn't feeling the offer or the way they asked him.
