TGL Round-Up: Ben Affleck Batman Script Abandoned, New Image of Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft, Lily James to Play Young Meryl Streep
New The Batman director Matt Reeves has abandoned Ben Affleck’s script for the upcoming movie.
Affleck’s script, which was written during the time he planned on directing the upcoming superhero movie, featured Joe Manganiello’s Deathstroke as the villain to Affleck’s Batman.
“No [we won’t be using that], it’s a new story,” Reeves explained on MTV’s Happy Sad Confused podcast. “It’s just starting again. I’m excited about it. I think it’s going to be really cool.”
A new image of Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft has surfaced in Entertainment Weekly.
Vikander is shown rock-climbing in the iconic Lara Croft outfit.
Tomb Raider is released March 18, 2018.
Lily James will play a young Meryl Streep in the sequel to Mamma Mia!
Much of the original cast of the movie will return with Amanda Seyfried, Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan set to play their characters from the first movies.
The sequel will feature flashback scenes regarding the relationship between Streep, Brosnan and Colin Firth’s characters.

Agreed. It’s so laughable that it achieves the opposite of what it’s supposed to.

More proof Alicia Vikander is as miscast as Gwyneth Paltrow as a cow.

I love that none of Meryl Streep’s terrible children got the role as the young her.

Unlike the rest of Hollywood, Meryl is against nepotism.

Untrue. She’s the reason the kids have careers to begin with. She’s just brainy enough to keep them out of her films.

Thank God. The Streep children might have her old face, but they don’t have any of her acting ability.

Affleck’s career has gone right to shit since he got the Batman role. Poor fella.

I think the catalyst was the Garner divorce announcement in 2015. It really derailed his Hollywood comeback and squandered the goodwill he recovered.

Lara Croft should be played by a REAL woman with curves and muscles. I’m sick of misogynistic Hollywood casting empowering female roles with stick thin little girls.

Sarah usually makes good points, but they’re articulated in such an unnecessarily cruel way that it makes it hard to ever agree.

Batman and the entire DC movie universe need to go into a new direction. It needs to move away from the stylistic influence of Nolan and adopt a more light-hearted, even campier tone, like the old television show.

A good start would be getting rid of Affleck.

Can we get a Patty Jenkins Batman movie? She did great with the Wonder Woman origin story. Much better than Zack Snyder with Man of Steel…
