Pennyworth Season 2 Trailer


A year after the explosive events of last season, England finds itself embroiled in a devastating civil war, with the powerful, neo-fascist Raven Union, led by Lord Harwood (Jason Flemyng) threatening to control the entire country. North London remains one of the few resistance holdouts remaining. It's here in the West End Neutral Zone, that we find Alfred Pennyworth. After years in the British Army, his training with the SAS has taught him to be a cynical optimist – expecting the worst but knowing that he can handle it. Now running The Delaney, a black-market Soho club that welcomes everyone, regardless of their politics, Alfred, with his SAS mates, Deon "Bazza" Bashford (Hainsley Lloyd Bennett) and Wallace "Daveboy" MacDougal (Ryan Fletcher), is now in search of a way out – before London, and his country burns itself to the ground. And he's got his eye on America.

The CW announced they're doing a "Black Lightning" spinoff series about Painkiller:

The CW is popping Painkiller into development, ordering a planted spinoff pilot centered on Jordan Calloway‘s Black Lightning character.

The pilot will air as the seventh episode of Black Lightning‘s upcoming fourth season (which launches Monday, Feb. 8). Black Lightning EP Salim Akil will write and direct the installment.

Here’s the official logline of the offshoot: “Khalil Payne is a young man ridden with the guilt of his troubled past from his former life in Freeland City, where, as a super-enhanced killing machine known as Painkiller, he was both a member of Tobias Whale’s gang and a weapon of Agent Odell and the shadowy ASA. After attempting to bury the darker, devastatingly lethal Painkiller part of his persona, Khalil has distanced himself away from everyone he knows and loves in a new city, Akashic Valley, in order to find peace, but peace never comes easy for men with pasts like Khalil Payne and Painkiller. As his violent, destructive history crashes his idyllic new beginning, Khalil is thrusted back into action with a new mission — bring justice where he once gave out punishment — but to do that, he will first have to deal with and harness his darker side, Painkiller.”

Colloway joined Black Lightning in Season 1 in a recurring capacity, and has been a full-fledged series regular since Season 2.

What does this new planted spinoff within the Arrowverse mean for Arrow’s own prospective offshoot, Green Arrow and the Canaries (starring Katie Cassidy, Katherine McNamara and Juliana Harkavy?) Though TVLine hears that there are still “conversations” being had about Canaries’ future, the fact that the CW has yet to pull the trigger/bow string on the future-set spinoff — which aired its own planted pilot nearly 10 months ago — would not seem to bode well.

WandaVision Gets 2021 Premiere Date

WandaVision, one of Marvel Studios’ most anticipated new series, finally has a release date: January 15th, 2021.
The news came ahead of Disney’s fourth quarter earnings call. Although WandaVision wasn’t supposed to be the first Marvel Studios show on Disney Plus, with The Falcon and the Winter Soldier undergoing reshoots and delayed to 2021, WandaVision was bumped up. The estimated date has gone back-and-forth, with some suggestion that it would premiere in December 2020. Now, it’s back to 2021.

The fact that Painkiller as a character doesn't have a very deep comic book history may be exactly why they picked him for a spinoff. Considering how many non comic book canon changes that they make to some of the characters & their backstories for these TV shows, Painkiller is a blank canvas they can paint the way they want without getting the normal angry backlash from fanboy purists about any changes they make with the character. Similar to the new black Batwoman. No such character in the comics, so no one can really bitch about how they shape that character & her backstory.

I hope they give him more of a superhero costume and less of a bland tactical outfit. That shits basic af. Does not have to be something crazy. Just give him something unique and imaginative.
