Hey O&G fans, AMC's The Walking Dead has cast actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan to play Negan beginning later this season, According to The Hollywood Reporter. Morgan will reportedly debut in the sixth season's finale on April 3, 2016, before becoming the show's main antagonist for the fall 2016 seventh season.

For those who watch the show and don't read the comic, Negan'sdebut was in TWD issue 100. He was the leader of a group of survivors Known as the Saviors (Which I suspect are the Wolves in the Show). If you think the Governor was bad, this guy made him look tame in comparison. He carried a Bat wrapped in barbwire and ruled with a cruel and deadly attitude ( While always smiling, claiming he is a nice guy).

 With Glenn believed to be dead and Maggie announcing that she is pregnant, this fits with the story line of the comic starting in issue #100. The Only difference is Negan killed Glenn and Maggie leave the group for another one to raise her child.

According to THR, Morgan's hiring came after "an extensive casting search" with the Watchmen actor beating out Timothy Olyphant, Matt Dillon and Garret Dillahunt for the role. Morgan is a veteran of films based on comic books, ranging from Watchmen to Losers and even playing Thomas Wayne in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Hey O&G fans, the rumor mill is a buzz that Marvel will get the Fantastic 4 back in exchange for giving fox two X-Men series (and Characters) TV rights that were announced yesterday.

Den of Geek does caution that they don’t have independent verification of what their source told them, but it’s hard to discount the possibility. Marvel’s through-2020 slate does have three untitled movies on their schedule, and one is supposedly Fantastic Four. The source says that the rights reverting back to Marvel include ancillary characters such as Doctor Doom, Galactus and the Silver Surfer.

Interestingly, the deals for Legion and Hellfire were announced as a partnership between 20th Century Fox and Marvel Television, as opposed to Marvel Studios. The Kevin Feige-controlled Marvel Studios reportedly recently left the control of the larger Marvel Entertainment unbrella, which still includes Marvel Television.

Until someone from Fox or Marvel comes forward to confirm this story, all we can do is wait and see what happens.

Announced at TCA this afternoon, CW have cast Matt Ryan as John Constantine in episode 405 of “Arrow,” entitled “Haunted.”

John Constantine is a weather worn exorcist and expert on the supernatural and the occult.  He is a detective, magician, and a hunter of demons, and will provide critical support to Oliver (Stephen Amell) when arrows aren't enough.

EP Marc Guggenheim says:

"We are thrilled to have Matt Ryan reprise the role of John Constantine on an upcoming episode of Arrow. Matt is an incredibly talented actor and his portrayal of this beloved character was always something we admired. The introduction of magic and mysticism on the show this season has provided a truly organic opportunity for us to bring John Constantine to Arrow and the CW’s DC universe. It will be a well-deserved tip of the hat to all the Constantine fans who were so incredibly supportive of that series."
