Need2Know Headlines

Today, we're starting with some news out of Hollywood. We've all been waiting a while to dive into Aquaman two. But in the meantime, we have some news on the production according to the Hollywood reporter Aquaman and the last Kingdom was initially supposed to be a feature feature, a cameo appearance from Ben Affleck reprising his role as Batman. Those sources are now saying he's been cut from the film. The movie has had three rounds of reshoots and it's been delayed already several times. It's a lot to live up to since the first in the franchise was the highest grossing DC movie of all time making more than a billion dollars. Well, the new DC head James Gunn is hoping to get away from the superheroes of the past and move toward recasting the universe and starting fresh, especially after reports said that the flash was the worst flop in superhero history. We already spoke on the show about how David Corn Sweat and Rachel Brosnahan have been cast as Superman and Lewis Lane respectively, giving hopefully a fresh start to the flailing franchise.
