SCOOPERHERO NEWS - has Ben Affleck revealed the new villain of Justice League? Yes? No? Maybe it's Batman's solo movie? Dan Harmon might have let slip another comic book bad guy - this time for the final act of Doctor Strange. Red Hulk was meant to be another baddie in Captain America: Civil War at one point, and the Madbomb was going to be the film's central plot. There certainly wasn't any X-Men. STAR WARS - Daisy Ridley reveals the title of Star Wars: Episode VIII has changed, Mark Hamill's beard announced for Episode IX, and what does Rogue One actually mean? EVERYTHING ELSE - more Harry Potter films, Duncan Jones is beaten by Warcraft, Death Wish has an excellent cast, The Beauty and the Beast looks great (don't listen to Luke) and Rock 'The Dwayne' Johnson wins Hollywood.

SCOOPERHERO NEWS - Vin Diesel has confirmed that Guardians of the Galaxy will appear in Avengers: Infinity War, and the Russos might have revealed the over-arching story for Avengers 3 and 4 (even though the Arse Bishops fiercely disagree on what that over-arching story is). Spider-Man: Homecoming's Mary Jane Watson actress might have been leaked, along with a bunch of other characters, a bunch of cameos in other MCU films teased, Jared Leto has said "f***" Warner Bros. - only he didn't - and Justice League Dark has been announced! EVERYTHING ELSE - Shane Black is interested in a Monster Squad sequel, Mission: Impossible 6 pre-production has ground to a halt (cue exciting music), Jumanji is a sequel, not a reboot, and John Boyega has an update on Pacific Rim 2. MAILBAG - Should the DC Extended Universe...

SCOOPERHERO NEWS - it turns out all those negative reviews for Suicide Squad are actually a good thing, but the second week drop off at the box office sure isn't; and neither is a damning open letter on the DC Extended Universe from someone claiming to have worked at Warner Bros, which claims Wonder Woman is "another mess". At least Aquaman looks good. STAR WARS - R2D2 sadly made his final bleep this week, with the actor who played him in the Original Trilogy - Kenny Baker - passing away. There was also a brilliant new trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and rumours of who might play Landon Calrissian in the Young Han Solo movie.

A Suicide Squad bumper spectacular! For the first time in the history of the Flickering Myth Podcast, one movie ends up taking up the whole episode. With reports of a rushed production, studio pressure, Warner Bros' flailing DC Expanded Universe, two competing cuts of the movie and half The Joker's scenes being left out from the theatrical release, there is plenty to talk about. Especially when Jared Leto starts criticising the film in all his media interviews. All that, along with Oli and Luke's reviews. They're not gonna kill you. Just hurt you...real, real bad.

SCOOPERHERO NEWS - Suicide Squad is out this week, and the reviews are in: it ain't good. And director David Ayer is making it worse with his anti-Marvel joke. All is well in the House of M, though, with Kevin Feige laying out his five year plan, how the Spider-Verse is going to be like Harry Potter, and Avengers: Infinity War gets a new name - Avengers: Infinity War! EVERYTHING ELSE - Ghostbusters director Paul Feig has spoken about his process in the movie, but the movie has still underperformed. Star Trek Beyond's second week of takings is in - but why isn't anyone exploiting this franchise goldmine?

Oh, and Captain Marvel is Brie Larson.

(aren't they all?) STAR WARS - Star Wars Celebration Europe happened last week, and a bunch of news fell out of it. The people in charge still don't seem to know if Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will have an opening crawl, while Episode VIII has been confirmed to take place directly after The Force Awakens, and Phil Lord and Chris Miller say their chosen young Han Solo actor was the first person they saw. Which doesn't explain why they then went onto audition another 1,999 people. There was also a behind the scenes...

Luke's on holiday, and this episode was recorded before any news had a chance to happen. So we caught up on the dangerously overflowing mailbag instead. What are Oli and Luke's worst ever cinema-going stories? Who would win in a Christmas-themed box office fight: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story or Harry Potter's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them? How the reception to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice forced Snyder to change the tone of Justice League, and how the film's antagonist should've been set up already.

SCOOPERHERO NEWS - are the X-Men joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe? It's probably too early to say, but not for Sony chairman Tom Rothman, who's admitted his studio don't know what they're doing, so have deferred creative control of building a "whole Spider-Man universe" to Marvel. Meanwhile, over at DC, Zack Snyder all but confirms his arguments with Warner Bros., revealing the critical backlash to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has changed the tone of Justice League. STAR WARS - Rogue One: A Star Wars Story might not have an opening credits crawl. WHAT?!

But everything pails in comparison to THE MAJESTIC ARMS OF J.K. SIMMONS - soon to play Jim Gordon in the DCEU. Look at them. Look at them in awe.

No fear, Captain Hindsight is here! Oli pitches a two-part film version of Apocalypse to improve the story. Over at the MCU, more plot details about Thor: Ragnarok (it's going to be Planet Hulk) and the villain for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 potentially revealed. Meanwhile, at DC, even Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice's actors don't like the movie now... STAR WARS - rumours are swirling that Disney are unhappy with Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (yes, we know we called it 'Star Wars: Rogue One' in the podcast title - it's called a 'character limit'), and that the film is undergoing "expensive reshoots". Also, the Young Han...

Oli and Luke went on their first podcast date together, watching a preview screening of Warcraft, followed by a Q+A with director Duncan Jones and actors Travis Fimmel, Paula Patton and Toby Kebbell. This means they had to record the episode upstairs in a generic coffee shop in London Waterloo Railway Station. Like a football match with extra time, this is an episode of two halves: firstly, Oli and Luke's immediate thoughts on Warcraft - the release that was meant to kickstart the video game movie craze - and secondly, a spoiler-FULL review of X-Men: Apocalypse. And then, for the extra time...
