Around the time ofSuicide Squad’s release it was revealed that Robbie was spearheading an adaptation ofGotham City Sirensas producer and star, withSuicide SquadfilmmakerDavid Ayerin line to write and direct....

Mark Wahlberg’s been in a wide range of films, including his star-making turn inBoogie NightsandTim Burton’s rather underwhelmingPlanet of the Apesreboot. The genre he seems to gravitate most towards is action, especially in recent years with straight-to-streaming fare includingThe Family PlanandThe Union; true to form for Wahlberg, reception to these projects tends to be mixed (especially his role in the Transformers franchise).

I always found it fascinating how often theDeadpoolmovies use its main character’s meta-ness as a defense mechanism against its own issues. When aDeadpoolscript opts for lazy writing,Ryan Reynoldscan look at the camera and say, “that’s lazy writing,” and the issue is winked away.
