DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow Season 2 News!!

With the departure of Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller) (sob!) and Hawkgirl (Ciara Renee), our lovable time travelling misfit crew of  Legends will need replacements.

Good news first! Word has it that one of these replacements will be Vixen, that lady granted a very special bond with animals via the magical Tantu Totem, supposedly created by  the African Trickster God, Anansi the Spider.

Vixen aka Mari McCabe has already made a live action appearance in the Arrowverse, helping Ollie (Stephen Amell) and Team Arrow to save his son but here is where the bad news bit comes in. Megalyn Echikunwoke, the actress whose role this has been since the inception of the animated CW Seed series, is not available to play Vixen for Legends. Her career has taken off, and she just plain will not have the time to be a Legends regular. She will be able to continue with her voiceover for the animated series. Rumor has it that she may even be able to make a guest appearance or two on any of the CW’s Arrowverse shows.

However, and this is important, Vixen will NOT be recast for Legends. The role will instead involve an older Vixen, who may or may not be related to Mari McCabe. The infinite possibilities of time travel means that there could be a Vixen team up at some point.

At this point the role has not yet been cast. Stay tuned to Skatronixxx.com for news relating to Vixen, and other possible characters for the upcoming Legends season. In the meantime, who do you think should be cast as the older Vixen? What other DC characters would you like to see either as guest appearances or regulars?

Just in case you missed this badass woman on Arrow….

 

T’s Summer Binge-watch Guide: 21 Jumpstreet

I’m sure that like me, most of the shows you’re addicted to are in hiatus for the summer, and like me, you’re pretty bummed about it.

Don’t be.

Take this opportunity to find some old classics.  If you don’t have time to search for something to watch, don’t worry…. leave it up to me.  Summer bingeing has been my self prescribed therapy for any number of ails, including Hellatus, for awhile now.

So, may I prescribe for your summer hiatus woes…. 21 Jumpstreet (the original television show)?  The show that launched not only Johnny Depp‘s career into the stratosphere, but a fledgling network (Fox) too.

Premise of the show:  Baby faced cops go undercover into high schools to fight crimes… rape, drugs, gang violence, murder, etc.

Primary Cast:

Tom (Tommy) Hanson …  Johnny Depp

Doug Penhall …  Peter DeLuise

Judy Hoffs …  Holly Robinson Peete

Harry (H.T.) Ioki …  Dustin Nguyen

Capt. Adam Fuller …  Steven Williams

Pros:  There’s a lot of funny sprinkled throughout great drama.  They attacked every major problem teenagers faced… then and now.  A lot of their topics are still pertinent today.  Now, there’s a few times where the technology of the late ’80’s & early 90’s is totally laugh worthy (i.e. the cell phone that looks like a huge brick), but for the most part, it’s easy to over look those things.  There’s episodes like Orpheus 3.3 that shows off Depp’s acting skills, when Hanson has trouble dealing with a “lost” 3.3 seconds that he can never get back.  There’s glimpses of a ton of big name stars before they were big.. like Brad Pitt, Jada Pinkett Smith (back before she married Wil), Josh Brolin, Christina Applegate, Vince Vaughn,  and The Walking Dead’s Michael Cudlitz.  I had a lot of fun playing “Oh that’s that guy/girl from that show/movie”.  Some of the best moments involve Hanson and Penhall going undercover as The McQuaid Brothers…

Cons:  The show was cancelled without getting a clear ending.  But, since there wasn’t a “cliff hanger” ending and each episode pretty much stands on it’s own, no clear ending doesn’t really affect your enjoyment of the show as a whole.

The show is not available to stream on Netflix, but it is on Hulu.  There are some episodes available on Youtube as well.  There’s 103 episodes in all, and it spawned a spin off show called Booker starring Richard Grieco.  (BT-dubbs, if you find Booker available anywhere to stream, please let me know!)

A little trivia about the show… star Holly Robinson Peete sang the theme song and the shouted “Jump”‘s in the song are done by Johnny Depp and Peter DeLuise.

After you watch, leave me a comment and let me know what you thought of the show!

Elizabeth Banks Not Directing Pitch Perfect 3, WHAT?

Elizabeth Banks announced that she won’t be directing the third installment of the ever popular Pitch Perfect series. The internet, being the weird place that it is, decided to read too much into this.

New Wolverine Film Gets Interesting Title

So news broke today that the next installment and Hugh Jackmans final appearance as Wolverine may have finally been given a title – Weapon X now those of you who know and love Wolverine as much as me knows that this title ties into the experiment that gave Wolverine his Adamantium skeleton.

Now this throws in a curve ball to the mix as there have been a fair few rumors around the film being linked to the Old Man Logan story from the comic books. This could just be a title that may mean Logan finally finds closure of what was done to him as we saw at the end of X-Men Days Of Futures Past Wolverine was taken away by a young William Stryker who we know was responsible for enlisting Logan into the Weapon X program. But this could also make a lot of sense as it has been rumored that X-23 a female clone of Wolverine (Has the Weapon X program been started up again?) it may fall to Wolverine to be the only one capable of stopping this.

Once again this give us more questions than answers to exactly what story line the film is actually going to be following or it could mean that they will be taking influences from a few of the different story arcs and then tying them together. It appears we will have to wait and see until the next batch of rumors to see if any of the information coming out can be cleared up.

‘DC Animation’ To Tackle ‘Justice League Dark’ Next

DC Animations much-anticipated DVD/Blu-Ray release of Batman: The Killing Joke, offers up fans an “exclusive sneak peek at the next DC Universe Original Movie.” And its going to get dark.

Sources close to Comicbook.com brought attention to a listing courtesy of the BBFC, which reveals bonus features on The Killing Joke includes “A Sneak Peek at Justice League Dark.“

Fans of the dark and macabre corner of the DC universe will be familiar with the title that sees mystic wielders like John Constantine, Zatanna, Deadman, and Swamp Thing deal with supernatural entities that The Justice League proper can’t.

A live action adaptation of Justice League Dark has long been in the works at Warner Bros. with Guillermo del Toro attached. But the Director step down late last year in order to produce the project alongside Oscar winner Scott Rudin, who was keen to push the project through with shooting possibly taking place this year.

Reports regarding the planned movie have been scarce since then however, with many believing that the rescheduling of DC’s Extended Universe in light of Dawn of Justice’s less than stellar performance at the box office. May have nixed Warner Bros. planned creation of a Dark Universe – of which Justice League Dark would be its headliner – in favour of more popular characters such as Harley Quinn and Batman receiving their own solo movies.

If this is the case, an animated film would be a great way to give fans of Justice League Dark comics something to look forward. While introducing these characters to a new audience with the prospect of a live action adaptation further down the line, should demand grow for it.

Batman: The Killing Joke will be available to purchase on Blu-Ray & DVD on August 2, with a Digital format premiering before then on July 26.

Until then enjoy the Trailer below:

John Boyega Lands Lead In ‘Pacific Rim 2’

Pacific Rim fans have been treated to a massive announcement, as Legendary Pictures have chosen Star Wars star John Boyega as the leading man for Pacific Rim 2. 

The second installment of the franchise will be directed by Steven S. DeKnight and production is set to begin in the last quarter of this year, and is based on the world created by Guillermo del Toro and Travis Beacham.

John Boyega (Attack the Block, Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens) has been cast as the son to the first films character Stacker Pentacost, who was played by Idris Elba (Luther, Thor).

Guillermo del Toro said on the announcement; “I am very proud and happy to welcome John into a fantastic sandbox. The Pacific Rim universe will be reinforced with him as a leading man as it continues to be a multicultural, multi-layered world. ‘The World saving the world’ was our goal and I couldn’t think of a better man for the job.”

Pacific Rim, released in 2013, was the story of a future in which alien monsters, named Kaiju (Japanese: Strange Beast) have breached Earth via a wormhole buried beneath the Pacific Ocean. To combat their invasion, Earth creates the Jäger (German: Hunter) to fight the creatures back. The story focused on Raleigh Beckett (Charlie Hunnam – Sons of Anarchy, Green Street) and his return to the  Jäger Programme, under the command of Pentacost. Working alongside Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi – 47 Ronin, Liar Game), the characters aim for one last assault to finally end the invasion of the Kaiju.

The film received an overall positive response, and has gained a large and loyal fanbase since its release. Fans have been eagerly awaiting news on the sequel, as several times it has seemingly been cancelled or put on hold.

Pacific Rim 2 has yet to announce a release date, but production will begin late 2016.

Penny Dreadful SN3 EP6 – ‘No Beast So Fierce’

Welcome Dreadfuls!! The last episode left us with several burning questions. Is Kaetenay dead? Will Jared kill Ethan, or will Ethan keep his vow to end Jared? And what will happen if Inspector Rusk and Marshall Ostow catch up with Ethan at Jared’s home? Did Ethan’s sister in fact die when they were attacked by Kaetenay’s men? Is Ethan’s wolfiness a genetic thing? Read on for some answers!

This episode opens exactly where the previous one left off; at Jared Talbot’s homestead, in the chapel, with Ethan at the wrong end of Jared’s gun, defying Jared’s insistence on repentance, and welcoming the possibility of being blown to Hell. Instead, the moment itself is blown to hell as one of Jared’s men interrupts to announce that they have visitors.
Jared has all of his guests forcibly assembled in the lobby to meet none other than Inspector Rusk and his sidekick Marshall Ostow. I find it odd that Ostow allowed Rusk to take point in this quest, even though Rusk did pull rank right away. One would think that as it is his country, there would have been more Alpha Dog posturing. I’m off track. Rusk confirms that Jared is Ethan’s father and declares that by the joint authority of the Queen and POTUS, all present are now under arrest. The man has a great big pair, considering that they are surrounded by Jared’s men, lol.

Since Jared has the upper hand, and since there is no point in not being at least somewhat civilized about it, they all sit down for dinner under the watchful eyes of Jared’s men. There is a tense scene here where Jared serves up a large dollop of guilt for Ethan to digest, all the while insisting that Ethan say grace, since he is seated in the grace-saying chair. The one where his brother was sitting on that fateful night. Sir Malcolm tries to intervene, but his advice is rebuffed. And so is his claim that he believes Ethan to be a good man. With his flair for the dramatic, Jared drops the bomb that Ethan slaughtered his brother and sister, which perks up Rusks’ ears, as he wants to know how. Jared says that it was not like a man, to which Rusk replies that he would think not, with a meaningful look at Ethan. Jared then states that Ethan did so by running and hiding. Just like he always does. Jared compliments Rusk and Ostow by telling them that if he thought they could be bought; he would have offered them a bribe. Not done with the compliments, he tells Hecate that she is ravishing tonight, to which she offers him a little kiss if he will just come closer. Ethan does eventually say a perverted version of the Lord’s Prayer, and then he and Hecate begin to eat. Hecate chomps at the bit, but Ethan won’t turn her loose, not yet. Jared inquires of Ostow why he has been glaring at him throughout. Ostow tells him that the men on the train were his, and promises a reckoning. Jared draws, shoots and Ostow goes down like an old oak tree, thoroughly reckoned. Sir Malcolm makes the point that Jared is taking a chance, allowing everyone present to have dinner knives, but Jared likes his odds. Rusk tells him that this may be because he does not understand who is sitting at his table. He asks who sent the snakes, which is something that Jared has not yet heard about. Rusk tells Jared that Ethan and his paramour are far more ingenious in the ways of slaughter and mayhem than he can imagine. Ethan agrees. Jared doesn’t understand, so Ethan shows him. All hell breaks loose in a heartbeat. Hecate changes to her witch form and breaks her guard’s neck, Ethan slashes his guard with a knife, Malcolm stabs his through the hand and the rest of the guards hustle Jared out, shooting all the while. As Ethan deals with another guard, now having found a gun, Rusk stands firm in the midst of the mayhem, waiting for his chance. Sir Malcolm and his opponent fight each other right out of the room, leaving only Hecate, Ethan and Rusk in the dining room. Hecate jumps up on the table, threatening Rusk, who clearly has no idea the danger he is in. He keeps asking her what she is, to which she answers the “End of Days”. She leaps at Rusk, he shoots her through the heart, Ethan shoots him, and rushes to Hecate, who tells him with her dying breath that ‘Hell awaits them both”. Meanwhile, the fight between Sir Malcolm and his guard is not going well for Malcolm. At the moment that Malcolm is at the point blank business end of a gun, the guard is shot from behind. Yay Kaetenay! Sir Malcolm is understandably quite happy to see him, exclaiming that he “knew you were too mean to die!” Kaetenay sees that someone has beaten him to killing Hecate. Our trio arms themselves from a handy gun cabinet, and they go looking for Jared. Jared has decided he will make his stand in the chapel where his family died, and quickly places his men; but Ethan knows his father, and tells Sir Malcolm where the men will be hidden. Kaetenay has attacked the chapel before, and knows what to do. Kaetenay blasts through the side wall of the chapel, Malcolm goes right, Ethan goes left and they enter, guns blazing. As Malcolm covers Ethan, he walks down the aisle, killing everyone in his path to his father. He shoots the gun out of his father’s hand, and now Jared is the defiant one at the wrong end of a Colt. Jared taunts him, telling him to go ahead and do the Devil’s work. Ethan can’t and walks away, while Jared continues to hurl invectives and threats of being forever hunted at him. Before he can finish with what his dying curse will be, Sir Malcolm decisively puts a permanent stop to his verbal diarrhea.
Meanwhile, in London, Dracula meets with Renfield whilst the familiars are feasting on a body hanging from a meat hook. Renfield, who cannot keep his eyes off the feast, reports to his master that Sir Malcolm is on some mad hunt in America, her old love has abandoned her, the wolf is gone – Vanessa doesn’t know where, and she knows Dracula’s name. This information leads Dracula to believe that the time is nearly upon them, that soon Vanessa will come to him. Renfield, who is literally drooling over the familiars’ dinner, begs Dracula to “not pass him by when he distributes all the fat juicy things, the sweeties”. With a twitch of the finger, Dracula dismisses the familiars, assures Renfield that he is his Chosen One, and allows him to feed. Renfield scuttles over to dine alone on the hanging meat.

Vanessa visits Ferdinand at the Museum and discovers that he is packing for an indefinite jaunt to Cairo. She wonders what she will do without him, as he is the last friend she has in London. She asks him for the name of a person with skills similar to his own just in case, which he provides saying that he thinks that they will make a formidable team. They say an affectionate goodbye.
Later, Vanessa watches a fencing match at a club. The winner of the match proves to be a woman, much to Vanessa’s delight. Her opponent claims that she cheated, but Catriona Hartdegen (Perdita Weeks) prefers to think of it as “creative improvisation to assure a victory. Which is rather the point”. Vanessa introduces herself.  Catriona is a Thanatologist, one who studies all the aspects of death, which is how she is acquainted with Ferdinand. As they enjoy brandy and smokes in the lounge, Vanessa asks Catriona what she knows about Dracula. Catriona proves to be very knowledgeable,  noting that Dracula is a Romanian word meaning Dragon, and that he had started a war between the Ottoman Empire and the Holy Roman Empire simply because he wanted the world to be wet with blood. The peasants of the time believed him to be a Vampire. She notes that Vanessa didn’t even blink about this information. One of the few accounts written of him calls him the First Vampire, an ancient being flush with youth, changing his appearance and identity from century to century. This account calls him a seducer, but in the antiquated form of the word, which more literally means one who is able to lead men astray, a corrupter. Vanessa tells Catriona that Dracula is hunting her here and now, that he doesn’t want her dead but submissive. She notes that Catriona seems like a woman who understands why submission is intolerable, even if she has to cheat. Vanessa invites her to help cheat him together. Catriona warns her to surround herself with people who care for her and would defend her. Vanessa can think of only one person who might fit that bill.
Vanessa visits Dr. Seward at her office, where they sit and have drinks by the fireplace. Dr. Seward has become a friend. Vanessa confesses that she misses Sir Malcolm and Ethan, much more than she thought possible. Dr. Seward has tried not to rely on anyone since she killed her abusive husband and stood trial for it in NYC. She tells Vanessa that she is not her only friend and urges her to go to Dr. Sweet.

She takes Sewards’ advice, and goes to visit Dr. Sweet at the Natural History Museum. She tells him that if they are to continue on, he needs to know the dangers, and tells him about the creature hunting her. Sweet wants this creature’s name, and Vanessa obliges, then asks him if he can believe. Sweet takes her to the room where an upcoming exhibition of night creatures is being prepared, and draws her attention away from the wolf to show her a vampire bat. He tells her that because of this bat, he does believe that such creatures exist. He declares that he has no sympathy for any creature that means her harm, he loves her and will not leave her side. Which leads to the inevitable sex scene, overseen by the night creatures exhibit. Good thing the museum was closed by then, lol! Vanessa has let her walls down, and the release is such a relief for her that she cries.
Over at Bedlam, Victor and Henry have prepared a powerful tranquilizer for Lily, one strong enough to take down any man alive. Victor notes that Lily is more powerful than any man, and is not entirely alive. Henry assures Victor that this will take down an elephant… Lily will be out in two breaths. Henry asks again if Victor still has the nerve to bring Lily here. Victor tells him “You’ve not met her, old boy. You’ll be the one who needs the nerve.”

We arrive at Dorian’s house to see two “fallen women” ringing the doorbell. They are looking for “The pale lady, her that makes men bleed.” Justine lets them in and they join other women in the ballroom, where Lily is giving lessons on three ways to kill the men who would debase them, using Dorian as the victim. Lily warns the women that they will be “branded radicals and revolutionists, because they will not crawl or kneel. That women who are strong and refuse to be degraded and protect themselves will be called monsters.” Then she asks who wants to try. Justine eagerly accepts, taking the knife from Lily, and is told by Dorian that he will not go easy on her. Justine taunts him that he will play the part of the john very well in that case. She really gets her little potty mouth going, and holds the knife to Dorian’s throat, the light of a zealot in her eyes. Lily praises her, and wants to know who’s next, but Justine is not done. She pushes the point of the knife into Dorian’s neck, causing him to bleed and to warn her that she is pushing her luck. Ignoring him, she asks Lily if she wants to see him drown in his own blood. Lily replies matter of factly “Well, then, who would the others practice on?”. She takes the knife from Justine, and invites the next woman up.

After the lesson, Justine and Lily are dancing in the ballroom when Dorian asks to cut in. Lily refuses, so Dorian stops the music and asks the women to leave the room. He is  worried that Lily is becoming more involved with Justine and the women than she is with him, and is very concerned that Justine does not know her place. He doesn’t understand why Justine would feel that she is the equal of him, to stand at Lily’s side. Lily explains that Justine is the soul of her, the heart of who she was. She tells Dorian that she has all of Brona’s memories, that she remembers every man who ever used and debased her. Dorian cannot possibly know how she feels, but these women do, and she is committed to them and asks for his understanding. Dorian agrees that there is little that he understands, but he does understand the love that he and Lily feel for each other.

They are interrupted by Justine, who has a straight razor at Victor’s throat. It seems that Victor has broken in to kidnap Lily, which Lily actually finds amusing. Victor pleads that he wants only to heal her, to take away all her anger, and rage. To make her who she was, a whole human, unblemished by sadness. Lily knows that it is her anger, rage and sadness that makes her who she is, and so refuses Victor’s “help”. Justine is enraged by Victor’s assumption that Lily is broken, and wants desperately to kill him. Dorian tells her no, but Justine refuses to take orders from any man, even Dorian. Lily hesitates, so Dorian begs her for Victor’s life, his only crime is being a man and loving Lily, and that does not justify killing him. Lily finally tells Justine that she is sentimental about Victor, and they may at some point need his unique services, but she tells Victor that the next time she sees him she herself will hold the razor. Dorian escorts Victor out, reminding him that he is now in his debt, and he will call the debt in.

John Clare is watching over his sick son from the attic, and finally cannot stand the labored breathing and coughing that wracks the boy while he watches. He enters the apartment, helps the boy take a sip of water, and mops his brow. The boy, eyes closed, recognizes the voice of his father, and wonders if he is an angel. He knows he is dying, and the angels will come soon to take him away. John holds him and comforts him,  promising that he will bring medicine and whatever else the boy needs. As he lays his son back down, the boy opens his eyes, looks at him and screams and screams, terrified of what he sees. John runs away, falls to his knees and cries to the heavens. This short yet poignantly heartbreaking scene gets my vote as the absolute best scene of this episode, hands down. And is a fitting place for the episode to end.

So we say goodbye to Inspector Rusk, Hecate and Jared. I will most emphatically not miss that vile man Jared one whit. Sir Malcolm ending Jared has halted Ethan’s journey to the dark side, at least temporarily. Nor can Ethan blame Kaetenay for Hecate’s death, which may also help to turn him back to the light and Lupus Dei. Oddly enough, both Inspector Rusk and Hecate grew on me over the course of the season, and I will miss them. We still don’t know if Ethan’s sister is truly dead, although  she probably is. Jared might even have been the one to put her out of her misery. We’ll never know. On the score of Ethan being a werewolf, it appears that may have been something that Kaetenay caused, since Jared clearly was unaware of Ethan’s condition. Victor and Henry are building towards an epic fail, IMO, a fail that will perhaps see at least one, if not both, dead very soon. Vanessa’s new ally will prove to be an invaluable one in the quest to defeat Dracula, I believe, but how long before she realizes that Sweet and Dracula are one and the same? And when will the boys return to Vanessa? There are only 3 episodes left in this season, so I anticipate quite the cliffhanger to keep us waiting for Season 4. And on that note, here is a teaser trailer for the next episode.

‘Superman’ To Appear In ‘Supergirl’ Season 2

Supergirls move to CW has ushered in a new era for the Daughter of Krypton. Not only will Kara & Co. feature more predominantly in Arrow-verse’s annual crossover event, but CW has now been allowed to introduce their own version of DC’s poster boy , Superman.

“Greg [Berlanti], Ali [Adler] and I are beyond thrilled to welcome Clark Kent and his slightly-more-famous alter ego to the world of Supergirl“, revealed executive producer Andrew Kriesberg. “Superman will be appearing in the first two episodes of the new season and we cannot wait to see who next dons the red cape!“

Although Supergirl fans have seen Kara’s (Melissa Benoist) cousin crop up in the pilot episode – albeit draped in shadow – and exchange words of wisdom via email from time-to-time. This will be the first time that Clark Kent will be introduced on screen as casting is currently underway to find CW’s Man of Steel.

With the network previously confirming that Supergirl will appear alongside Arrow, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow in the mega-crossover this year. It remains to be seen whether or not Superman will play a part or featured predominantly further down the line.

Supergirl Season 2 will premier on CW this fall.

PENNYWISE FOUND!!

After years of floating down there Georgie, Stephen Kings’ much loved horror classic IT is finally going to make it to the Big Screen!

Those of you who have read the book know that it flipped back and forth between 1958 and 1985, to show The Losers Club battling Pennywise as children, and then again as adults. The book was terrifying, as was the TV adaptation, which necessarily couldn’t be completely true to the book because of the constraints of the medium. I wonder if the movie may be able to be more true to the book. If so, prepare to be absolutely horrified! And to loathe clowns all over again…

New Line Cinema plans to release the movie in two parts. Word is that the first film will focus on the Losers Club as children, winning their first battle against Pennywise. The second film will take place years later, when Pennywise makes his cyclical comeback and  terrorizes children all over again. The Losers Club will reform, with the original members now being adults. This is not quite the way the book reads, or the way the TV adaption played, but I personally feel that it will allow for better focus on the characters first as children, and then as adults.  So I’m okay with that.

Bill Skarsgard has been cast as Pennywise the Clown (spider/werewolf/any other creepy thing that scares children). His work includes Hemlock Grove, and Divergent: Allegiant. Bill comes by his talent honestly; he is the younger brother of Alexander Skarsgard (True Blood), and the son of Stellan Skarsgard, (Avengers: Age of Ultron, and The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo).

The Losers Club also has its first member with Jaeden Lieberher being cast in the role of the young Bill Denborough, erstwhile leader of the Losers Club. Jaeden has had roles in St. Vincent and Midnight Special.

As of now, other cast members include:

Finn Wolfhard who has appeared in Supernatural and The 100
Jack Dylan Grazer whose work includes Tales of Halloween and Comedy Bang! Bang!
Wyatt Oleff: Guardians of the Galaxy, Once Upon a Time, and Scorpion .
Chosen Jacobs: Hawaii Five-O, FTS Kids News
Jeremy Ray Taylor who has been in 42 and Ant-Man
There is at this time no word on what their roles will be.
The man in the Director’s Chair will be Andres Muschietti, and the film will be produced by Barbara Muschietti, Roy Lee, Dan Lin, David Katzenberg and Seth Grahame-Smith.
Many thanks to the sites that I gleaned a lot of my information from – movieweb.com and joblo.com.

Hayley Joins The Call For A Netflix Revival Of Agent Carter – Do Your Part And Sign the Petition!

Peggy Carter is a strong, incredible, kick-ass character. She’s a competent woman in a time when women were still an underestimated and repressed majority.

She’s brilliant, oh so clever, and her confident statement – “I Know My Value” – has inspired hundreds of thousands of fans, as well as their tattoos, cosplays, and fan art.

Agent Carter is, in my opinion, one of the best Marvel shows aired outside of Netflix. And I’m not the only one who holds this belief, as the outcry from those selfsame fans upon the cancellation of Agent Carter was explosive, and as fierce as their gun-toting role model.

Within hours of the news of ABC’s massive blunder, one particular fan, Arnau S., started a petition to bring the show to Netflix.

With a day we had thousands of votes. Within a week, 75,000. As it stands, three weeks after the petition was first launched, we now have over 119,000 votes.

If you wish to add your voice to the rallying cry, click on the link below:

Save Agent Carter, Bring Her to NETFLIX – Petition

But ABC had already signed Hayley Atwell (the fantastic actress who embodies Peggy Carter) for their newest show Conviction. As long as the network that abandoned Agent Carter kept Hayley busy, could our petitions and votes every amount to anything?

Don’t lose hope yet, Lipstick Commandoes! Hayley Atwell herself has stepped up to the plate, stating that she is completely committed to reviving Peggy Carter and bringing her to Netflix.

In Hayley’s own words, she’d be willing to “shoot on the weekends”, if she had to – anything to give Agent Carter the run it deserves.

We’d get a wrap-up for that insane cliffhanger that season 2 left us with. And, according to Hayley, we might get some more of Peggy’s backstory – more specifically, her mysterious past and the events that created the fantastic heroine that we all adore.

“The showrunners were talking about a kind of twist, I suppose… something to do with the family,” she said. “They suggested there’d be more to do with my brother.”

The hints and clues and teasers are fantastic, making me ask questions that I’d never considered before.

As for whether or not we’ll see Peggy turn the S.S.R. into S.H.I.E.L.D., Hayley has this to say: “I think I’m going to save that for my own movie.”

The crowd exploded into riotous applause – and rightfully so.

Peggy needs – no, she deserves – to have her story told right, told well, and told in its entirety.

[SPOILERS]

Just because Peggy died in Captain America: Civil War, it doesn’t mean that her story is over.

[END SPOILERS]

And hopefully the epic combination and team-up of Hayley Atwell and us, her ardent fans, will convince Netflix of this fact.

So far, with Daredevil and Jessica Jones, Netflix has been my hero in terms of Marvel TV shows. With they pull through again, and save another hero?

We know Peggy’s value.

Does Netflix?
