Batman v Superman: Momoa Definitely In, Extra Role Auctioned Off, Batman Looking Buff

LexCorp was looking busy today as Priya8888 found out, when she drove past the Batman v Superman set and took this pic. She says things seemed to be winding down when she was there. Last week the cast and crew were busy filming at the Pontiac, MI studios where both Gotham and Metropolis vehicle were spotted. And over the weekend carteezy17 was driving from Michigan to Chicago, when he saw the Metropolis police chopper being transported "somewhere." The film is expected to film in Illinois at some point. 

So how much would you pay to be part of Batman v Superman? - one bidder just shelled out some big bucks to be an extra in the film. 

Holy stardom, Batman! A walk-on role as an extra in Batman vs. Superman just went for $3,500 in our #sunsetatthezoo live auction!

For that kind of money we certainly hope their scene includes Henry! - congrats to the lucky winner. You have to give it to Batman, he's been working hard (just like Superman) and now it's really showing. Photographers caught up with Ben in LA Saturday. We can't wait for our two big guys to face-off  ;) 

And guess what? - turns out the agency grid that that listed Darkseid as the villain for Justice League is outdated. So we're back to square one..

@TheInSneider btw that agency grid 4 Justice League is based on the old Mulroney draft. As a former agencier I remember old info never dies

Today for the 100th time, we learned Jason Momoa IS AQUAMAN (THR the latest to report the news). Please put us out of our repeat writing misery WB, and just confirm the news already. Stay tuned for the latest from Detroit!

WB Shows Never-Before-Seen U.N.C.L.E. Footage At CineEurope

Aren't they a lucky bunch! - during a presentation at CineEurope in Barcelona tonight, foreign theater owners got to watch some never-before-seen footage of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. - The Hollywood Reporter says it was part of the Warner Bros. presentation at the annual exhibitors convention. The film is set to be released January 16, 2015 in the U.S. and the UK. More U.N.C.L.E. scoop to come this week! 

'Batman v Superman' Filming At Studios, Latest Casting Rumors

Is that cool or what? - photographer Michael Dore' says he was awakened overnight by the sound of the Metropolis police chopper. Turns out he lives right by the Michigan Motion Picture Studios where earlier a fan captured the pic of the Gotham news van below. What was filmed remains a mystery. Earlier in the week, the cast and crew were spotted at a nearby hotel and there were also reports of filming in Downtown Detroit. As for the rumors of a military scene being shot, nothing seems to have materialized from that.

Photographer Clay Enos posted the pic above, seemingly from one of those sets. We do hear some filming had to be delayed because of the rain. Let's see what next week brings.

The other big Batman v Superman news involves the long running rumor, that Jason Momoa has been cast as Aquaman. Despite his constant denials, HitFix says he is SO gonna be Aquaman:

While Warner Bros. hasn't made that announcement officially yet, HitFix can confirm that he will be playing the part, and that Zack Snyder has already finalized his designs for the character so shooting can take place soon.

Hopefully the official announcement is coming soon. Another interesting tidbit comes via The Wrap's Jeff Sneider, who is providing a few clues of which additional superheroes and villains we might see in Justice League.

No Martian Manhunter in JUSTICE LEAGUE? Not according to this agency grid, which lists DARKSEID as the villain... pic.twitter.com/lLwFwkXLkv

So if you go by that posting, to us that means more proof that a Doomsday appearance could be happening in Batman v Superman (don't forget Henry mentioned him not too long ago). Then again, we're not sure we're ready for the consequences of that..

Finally, today marks one year since Man of Steel was released in theaters. We can't wait to see Henry reprise his role as Superman, hopefully for many more years to come. Happy anniversary!

SDCC Preview: Henry Expected To Get Second Solo Superman Film!

It's news that if true, will make us happy campers for the next few years. Nikki Finke is reporting that Henry is getting his second solo Man of Steel film in 2018!

She broke the news as part of her exclusive, on what Warner Bros. will reportedly reveal at Comic-Con next month.

A lot of stuff remains in flux  but my sources have so far:

May 2016 – Batman v Superman
July 2016 – Shazam
Xmas 2016 – Sandman
May 2017 – Justice League
July 2017 – Wonder Woman
Xmas 2017 – Flash and Green Lantern team-up
May 2018 – Man Of Steel 2

OMG. Seriously.. and here we thought San Diego would be all #Batman75 related this year. If her report turns out to be true (and she's among the best) we have plenty of superhero Henry to look forward to in the years to come. Nikki also explains the Batman v Superman production delay, so don't miss the rest of her article. We are headed to Comic-Con next month, so expect updates like we brought you last year.

Go Henry!

'Batman v Superman' Production Update: Facts, Rumors, More

Batman v Superman production news has been trickling in from Michigan this week, after the weather apparently delayed several planned shoots. But we do have pics and info from two confirmed locations that have now wrapped. Wednesday the cast and crew, that allegedly included Amy Adams and Henry worked at a Pontiac area hotel. Michael G. sent us these exclusive pictures along with a few details. He said there was a lot of security around the back part of the hotel where filming took place for most of the day. He added that several times during the shoot, police stopped traffic on nearby streets.

When he returned to check on the location today, it was clear that work was done there. Below is a picture of crews tearing down the set-up used during filming.

There is a report Henry was spotted in his Superman suit last night. This is what @justwitt had to say:  I could only see a portion of the S & his boots. And his handsome face of course! Also saw Amy for a very brief sec.

If that is the case, that sighting might have happened as Henry headed to this location in the Detroit area. Several fans posted pics of the set for last night's filming that was gone by this morning.

Michael also exclusively shared these pics from the studio today, where a huge green screen has been set up. He also said he spotted a black and white Metropolis Police cruiser driving around. Unfortunately he couldn't get a pic of that, but check out Eric Lacy's latest close-up photos of the vehicles parked in the area.

This was LexCorp. today, where Michael said there was a lot more activity than in previous days. But you can see the sign is still very much covered, which makes us wonder if that pic floating around online with the logo unveiled is real. More updates to come!

Weekend Fun: Adam Shares His Pic With Henry

Adam Jones met Henry in Detroit and sent us his pic with this message: 

Attached is a pic from last weekend with Henry in Michigan...  Thanks for the pic Henry!!

Thank you for sharing Adam, awesome photo -- so glad you got to meet him! - Several fans caught up with Henry over the weekend, see their pics.

Production In Full Swing: Amy Adams Back In Detroit, More Props Spotted

Despite the fact that fan pics have given us a preview of how Henry looks as he films Batman v Superman, we have yet to see him in his new costume (dammit). We did learn Amy is back in Detroit, after blogger Trent Vanegas spotted her on his flight Tuesday. Looking as gorgeous as ever Lois!

Emergency vehicles and military trucks were also spotted on set (via Batman-News.com reader Janelle), and you've seen the big statue being put together near what's expected to be the LexCorp building. So now we're just awaiting the action. If you check out these sets and have pics and details to share, let us know at henrycavillnews@gmail.com. All very exciting!

Giant Statue Going Up On 'Batman v Superman' Set In Detroit

This is a sight that definitely looks promising, a giant Superman statue is going up at the latest Batman v Superman set in Detroit. We had seen some blurry photos floating around, but held off until we got confirmation and that came today via Bananadoc who shot these pics. 

You can see a shot of the building that will reportedly become LexCorp on his site. Batman v Superman scenes are rumored to be filming there this week.  

   

Back in LA, today Warner Bros. announced its plans for a Batman Exhibit in honor of his 75th anniversary. If you live in the area, definitely check it out.  

The secret is out! We proudly announce #WBBatmanExhibit for a limited time! The VIP Tour begins June 26th! #Batman75 pic.twitter.com/NLMpjVC3lc

A great start to the week, the latest as we get it!

And our love for all things Legendary continues to grow.. 

'Batman v Superman' Coverage: Tricky To Say The Least

When we decided to start this blog, one of our biggest fears was covering filming for you guys. We've done it before with different actors and studios, and we've learned you walk a fine line in trying to bring fans the latest while respecting the work of those involved in the filming process. If you followed our Man from U.N.C.L.E. coverage, you're hopefully familiar with what we're talking about. When news hits official outlets, or it's just fun rumors or Easter egg speculation we're ALL over it. To us, that only builds up the excitement of what's to come. But when it comes to leaks like in Batman v Superman.. ugh, murky waters ahead.

It's one thing to cover and open set after media outlets have reported on it, or there's pictures hitting the web. It's a whole other can of worms to share information that's clearly not meant for public consumption, likely happening on a closed set. So if you don't see us talking about a specific news item that's all over the net, know we have the best interest at heart for you guys and the cast and crew (we also don't want to get sued). Batman v Superman is going to be a great film and we are just trying to be responsible with our reporting. Hope you understand.

Moving on, the latest rumor that was quickly debunked by Gossip Cop, was that Emily Blunt was in talks to play Catwoman in Batman v Superman. Read the rest.

This week various Spanish sites are reporting that the Man of Steel sequel will open in Spain on April 29th, 2016. That's a week before the U.S. release. The sites reporting it say the word came straight from the studio reps there. More dates as we get them.

And for those fans worried that Superman is getting the shaft in his sequel, as well as in the planned big screen DC universe (and we've heard from plenty of you) -- Mark Hughes over at Forbes tells you why he thinks that's not the case. Yes it's just his opinion, but he does bring up some good points. So let's all just relax and.. you know the rest ;)

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

DVD Promo: Full 'Man Of Steel' Interview Released By Warner Brothers UK

It sometimes takes an eagle-eyed fan to catch the missed clips or pictures. Such is the case today, after Teresa found this hidden treasure at the Warner Bros. UK site. It's Henry's full interview with the studio, as he promoted the Man of Steel DVD release at the end of last year. We had shared bits and pieces of it, but this one is the entire thing! - Henry talks about his costars, favorite scenes in the film and much more. Watch above or click here to watch. Enjoy!

No Superman Sightings Yet, Set Locations Being Kept Secret

It's been a few weeks since Warner Bros. announced the official start of production on Batman v Superman, and so far there's been ZERO set pics of our Man of Steel (here's hoping we don't have to wait too much longer). When Gal Gadot was spotted reportedly filming a quick scene around that same time, we figured production had actually been underway for a while, and a local newspaper confirmed that. Candgnews reported that scenes for the film were shot May 14 and 15, at a market in Keego Harbor, MI. 

Image: Candgnews.com

The news only came out after the fact, during a city board meeting. And that's how the production company wants it, according to Lee Anne Muldoon, publicist with Crown City Pictures:

“Unfortunately, we just don’t want the crowds out” 

So the city kept the secret, with the city manager admitting only a select group of people knew about the shoot, including the West Bloomfield Fire and Police Departments:

“We had a couple extra (police) officers over that way to keep traffic moving and for crowd control,” “I didn’t even tell the police until I needed them.”

Well booh. You can read the rest at Candgnews. We completely understand the need for privacy when such a huge production is underway, but that doesn't mean we have to like it (and luckily for us, Henry has been spotted in and around Detroit).

We did get an updated picture from the Kent farm outside of Chicago via MaryFGualandri. Work appears to be finished there, we'll be keeping an eye on that location as we wait for Clark to come home (not expected to happen until fall).

We also got a bit of an update from costume designer Michael Wilkinson. He gave us a preview of some of the bling we'll see in the film (some say possibly on Wonder Woman).

As Warner Bros. continues planning out its Justice League universe on the big screen, its tapped a former FOX executive who helped re-launch the 'X-Men' franchise. Read the rest at Batman-news.com.

This past week we learned more about Batman's training team. Yes, there's a link to Matt Damon. THR got the scoop.

As to the rumors regarding additional cast for Batman v Superman, today Batman on Film is reporting Commissioner Gordon may be in the mix. We wouldn't be surprised if that's the case, you have to populate Gotham City with someone..

For those who would have liked to have seen Christian Bale return as Batman, this is the fan video for you. Thanks to the talented Osiria (CheesyFrenchy) for sharing it with our readers.

More to come!
