Blind Items Revealed #4
February 27, 2021

This foreign born A- list actress who got her fame through a hit pay cable show and then crashed and burned in her first lead movie role, is going all in on trying to replace the A- list actress from a superhero movie. Her team is leaking story after story trying to put enough pressure on the studio to hire our foreign born actress.

Emilia Clarke/Game Of Thrones/Amber Heard/Aquaman 2

Hm, will be interesting to see what happens.

I do find that Clarke has a bit more natural charisma, Heard always felt a bit "cold" in Aquaman...but recasting her with Clarke mainly because of her and Momoa having been on the same show once...i dont know.

But we will need to wait and see...and update on Aquaman 2 in general would be sweet.

which book is Morrison referring to in your little quote thingy?

"He's much more of a working class superhero, which is why we ended the whole book with the image of a laboring Superman. He's Everyman operating on a sci-fi Paul Bunyan scale." - Grant Morrison

It was from an interview he was doing about All-Star Superman. Basically saying that he looked at Superman having the same kind of stories any regular person could have, but just on a grander scale. This person quoted more...

In the end, I saw Superman not as a superhero or even a science fiction character, but as a story of Everyman. We’re all Superman in our own adventures. We have our own Fortresses of Solitude we retreat to, with our own special collections of valued stuff, our own super–pets, our own “Bottle Cities” that we feel guilty for neglecting. We have our own peers and rivals and bizarre emotional or moral tangles to deal with.

I felt I’d really grasped the concept when I saw him as Everyman, or rather as the dreamself of Everyman. That “S” is the radiant emblem of divinity we reveal when we rip off our stuffy shirts, our social masks, our neuroses, our constructed selves, and become who we truly are.

Batman is obviously much cooler, but that’s because he’s a very energetic and adolescent fantasy character: a handsome billionaire playboy in black leather with a butler at this beck and call, better cars and gadgetry than James Bond, a horde of fetish femme fatales baying around his heels and no boss. That guy’s Superman day and night.

Superman grew up baling hay on a farm. He goes to work, for a boss, in an office. He pines after a hard–working gal. Only when he tears off his shirt does that heroic, ideal inner self come to life. That’s actually a much more adult fantasy than the one Batman’s peddling but it also makes Superman a little harder to sell. He’s much more of a working class superhero, which is why we ended the whole book with the image of a laboring Superman.

He’s Everyman operating on a sci–fi Paul Bunyan scale. His worries and emotional problems are the same as ours... except that when he falls out with his girlfriend, the world trembles.

Aquaman 2 is Casting 3 new Supporting Roles - GWW

Aquaman 2 is gearing up its production as GWW has learned of 3 new supporting roles the film is currently looking to cast via new documents.

The film is looking to add two female roles and one male role to the cast before production is set to begin. The documents decribe the roles as follows.

Maren – 30s-40s, Female, to play mixed race, intelligent & formidable with an American accent.

Based on Aquaman lore this could be a number of characters but judging by the intelligent/formidable description it sounds like this could be describing a villain. Possibilities include Black Jack, Siren, or Bres. Judging by the other characters below I think Black Jack is a good possibities but again these are just guesses.

Kore – 40s-50s, Male, open to any ethnicity, domineering & cunning. British Accent.

Kore could also be a number of people but my best guess would be someone like Fisher King, the leader of N.E.M.O and ally to Black Jack mentioned above, the domineering & cunning description would fit this character well, not to mention the group has worked with Black Manta before in the comics and we know he will likely be the main protagonist. It could also be someone like Triton if the film wants to dig more into the “old gods” mythos.

Rey – Mid-Late 20s, Female, mixed race, tough & authoritative.

While the other two descriptions sound like villains this last one sounds more like an ally. Tula comes immediately to mind and would add an interesting dynamic as another love interest to Arthur as him and Mera have certainly grown closer. It could also be someone like Erika Watson as this would add another “close to home” connection to Arthur as Watson was a former school mate and is now an officer in the Amnesty Bay Police Department.

Hopefully it’s not Tula! There’s Lorena is you want a diverse Aqua character

 

[Sogno]

When will they start filming?

Khal Drogo vs Euron Greyjoy (vs Doctor Manhattan)

Yeah I feel the same way... I do like Emilia and thought she had chemistry with Jason when she was playing Daenerys and he was Khal Drogo, but I don't think she's necessarily right for Mera.

[NotNickFury]

Khal Drogo vs Euron Greyjoy (vs Doctor Manhattan)

He's going to put a finger in the b-

No, you know what? That's too easy.

 

[Mani-Man]

Hm, doesnt seem like recasting or so is in order.
Does this mean they are close to start shooting? I doubt it to be honest...i dont even know when it is supposed to start, did we ever get any info on this?

Could be she posted this because #justiceforJohnnyDepp was trending yesterday or so on Twitter.
Eh, i dont know.

I really hope we get more stuff soon.

 

[LifesEnd]

Hope they dont kill of mera or something

It has a 2022 release date, it has to be shot very very soon cause even if its pushed back, it'd have to be pushed back close to the end of 2023 if they dont start in 2021. Pre-production has been in the works for awhile now i believe.

Amber Heard has been going in hard on the #aquaman2 tags. Clearly she wants everyone to know she's not going anywhere (unfortunately)

Aquaman 2's Jason Momoa Co-Wrote the Script's First Draft

Aquaman 2's Jason Momoa Co-Wrote the Script's First Draft

Thats pretty neat.
Dont know if Momoa has any talent for it, but i love that he seems to be really into Aquaman and wants to do the best movie possible.
Shows that everybody involved is passionate about the project.

Im really looking forward to this and when the shooting starts.

 

[Silvermoth]

Yeah me too I like the idea of him adding a personal touch

 

[Primal Slayer]

I'm always a little iffy with actors being really involved in movies/shows scripts but I'll wait to see how it turns out overall.
