Finally, some news on our beloved Matthias Schoenaerts, who we haven't seen or heard much of since
The Regime ended -- he was so great on that show, you guys --
Deadline reported earlier this week (thx Mac) that he will play the villain in a new
Supergirl movie. Which... well, you know. A superhero movie doesn't excite me a whole lot. For a second I pictured him playing the Faye Dunaway role from the 1984 movie though, and...
... that was exciting. But no they say the bad guy will probably be a character named "
Krem of the Yellow Hills" which... uhh yeah okay. That's a name. In the comic the character is the one that kills "a young alien girl's father [and] draws Supergirl into the conflict." I guess this one is a big sci-fi story they say, and not your typical superhero origin story. Sure. Milly Alcock from
House of the Dragon has been cast as Supergirl, and in good news Craig Gillespie of
I, Tonya and the
Pam & Tommy miniseries is directing the film. I tend to like Gillespie's stuff more than I don't. And then in maybe the best news out of all of this, Matthias' character as drawn in the comic is a shirtless bearded ginger stud:
He could pull that off.
