He’s already danced in his undies to Stevie Wright in a shark-obsessed Aussie horror flick, but Jai Courtney is just as pumped to see someone else take the lead—especially if that someone is Alan Ritchson. The Dangerous Animals actor, who once went toe-to-toe with Tom Cruise in 2012’s Jack Reacher, spoke with Forbes about War Machine, the upcoming sci-fi action film he stars in alongside Ritchson. And despite missing out on the lead role in Prime Video’s hit Reacher series, Courtney says there are no hard feelings—just admiration.

Instead, Ritchson stepped into the role and quickly became an idol in the action genre, fully becoming the towering, take-no-prisoners human fridge from Lee Child’s books with brute strength and dry wit. The role launched him into the action spotlight, and Courtney couldn’t be more impressed.

“Alan’s great in that, and he’s great in War Machine.

The Reacher-powered War Machine hype just got another massive boost. While promoting his new thriller Dangerous Animals, Jai Courtney spoke with Collider’s Steve Weintraub, who couldn’t resist asking about War Machine, the upcoming sci-fi action epic from director Patrick Hughes and star Alan Ritchson. The film, currently in post-production, is already being touted by Ritchson as Netflix’s “biggest movie ever,” and according to Courtney, the buzz is very real. He told Collider: “I think that film is going to blow people away. It’s big. It’s a high concept. Alan [Ritchson]’s an absolute savage.”

That’s high praise, especially considering the project’s scale. War Machine follows the final class of an elite special forces boot camp who are forced into a deadly confrontation with a mysterious, possibly extraterrestrial threat. The cast includes Dennis Quaid, Stephan James, Esai Morales, and Keiynan Lonsdale, among others, with Courtney playing one of the recruits.

Reacher star Alan Ritchson has now carved out a legacy as a modern-day action icon, with genre fans eager to see what kind of explosive mischief he’ll get into next. Well, next up is the sci-fi action thriller War Machine, with Ritchson’s co-star Jai Courtney offering the kind of hype we love to hear when discussing the movie with MovieWeb’s own George Edelman.

Courtney will star alongside Ritchson in War Machine, with the rest of the cast consisting of Dennis Quaid, Stephan James, Esai Morales, Keiynan Lonsdale, and Daniel Webber. Coming courtesy of Lionsgate and Netflix, and directed by The Hitman's Bodyguard filmmaker Patrick Hughes, War Machine boasts the kind of high-concept that action dreams are made of, with reports revealing that the plot follows “the final 24-hours of the world’s toughest selection program, as a team of Army Rangers encounter a threat beyond their imagination.

"Yeah, it definitely was a cliffhanger," she admitted, noting how the series finale ended with Booster Gold and the Legends being arrested.

Having run for nine seasons, The Flash lasted nearly a decade on the CW and officially closed out the Arrowverse in 2023. In all that time, plenty of members of Team Flash came and went, with the series shifting significantly from its inaugural seasons (and original cast members) by the very end. But in all that time, no character was so poorly misused and under-utilized as Keiynan Lonsdale's Wally West. Though many fans were thrilled to see the character make his way into live action, he turned out to be a pale imitation of the comic book version of the Fastest Man Alive.

This Blue Beetle article contains spoilers.

At the start of Blue Beetle’s second act, protagonist Jaime Reyes (Xolo Maridueña) asks an important question: “Who the hell was Blue Beetle?”

A lot of viewers wondered the same thing when the Warner Bros. movie came to theaters earlier this year and they’ll likely be asking it again now that the movie is streaming on Max. People don’t ask that same question of Superman, Batman, or Wonder Woman, but not because Blue Beetle is at best a C-lister in the DC Comics bullpen. Rather it’s because the man behind the Blue Beetle mask has changed several times since Charles Nicholas Wojtkoski debuted the character in 1939.

The big-screen adaptation introduces Blue Beetle as Jaime Reyes, who is a recent college grad forced to the superhero identity after receiving an alien scarab from Jenny Kord (Bruna Marquezine), the daughter of inventor Ted Kord,...

The Dceu has a history of not giving iconic DC characters the importance they deserve. Arrow did a disservice to Black Canary by killing her in season 4. Wally West's portrayal in The Flash TV show was miniscule compared to his significance in the comics as the main version of The Flash for 23 years.

Across the DC Universe, several movies and TV shows have failed certain DC characters by relegating important heroes and villains to much smaller roles than they have in DC Comics. Most movies in the Dceu have been plagued by the universe's overall issues, and that has led to some of its movies not treating iconic DC characters with the care they deserve. While the Dceu has contributed to the negative trend where some DC heroes and villains are less important in live-action than they were in the comics, that issue is not at all reserved only...

Wally West, played by Keiynan Lonsdale, was a beloved character on The Flash but left the show after just two seasons, leaving fans questioning why. Lonsdale's departure from The Flash was a narrative decision, with his character choosing to do soul-searching and eventually joining the Legends of Tomorrow. Lonsdale left the Arrowverse to pursue new opportunities in his career but returned as a special guest star in various seasons, leaving a lasting legacy on The Flash.

The Flash's Wally West was among the most beloved characters introduced to the DC show, but his tenure was fleeting, leaving the DC show after the Flash ​​​​​​season 4 with just two seasons total under his belt. Wally West was first introduced in Season 3 as a result of the Flashpoint, an event that saw the show's star, Barry Allen, create an alternate timeline where Kid Flash watched over Central City. After losing his super-speed post-Flashpoint,...

With The Flash floundering at the box office, it may be a while before fans see another Scarlet Speedster on the big screen. However, when it happens, instead of introducing yet another Barry Allen, James Gunn and Peter Safran should consider having another hero don the red and yellow suit. In fact, Wally West is the perfect character to take the opportunity and run with it.

At the end of The Flash movie, Barry meets another Bruce Wayne. George Clooney reprises his role in a short cameo, replacing Ben Affleck. And as far as fans know, this was the only significant change to Barry's timeline.

Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin are spilling the beans on their upcoming nuptials.

The two made headlines in March after rumours spread that the couple had tied the knot after five years of dating. In a new interview with V Magazine, the two confirmed the rumours to none other than Dylan’s twin, Cole.

Speaking on the topic of having a celebrity relationship in the public eye, Dylan admitted it was a surreal experience.

“There’s a lot of demand from the general public for full transparency. Which is funny to me because no relationship is fully transparent,” said the actor. “This article, particularly, is timed up to the release of our engagement announcement, right? But we got engaged now, how many months ago?”

The following contains spoilers for Season 9 of The Flash.

The sun set on the Arrowverse with The Flash's series finale, which brought many of its characters' stories to a close. However, with Barry's creation of three new speedsters, it's only the end of the adventures audiences get to see. Some fans are disappointed that Wally West didn't shed the "Kid" from his moniker to become the Flash. While such a development would be a nod to the comics, it wasn't what Wally's story needed.

The return of Keiynan Lonsdale as Wally West for an episode in Season 9 wasn't just a victory lap for the character and actor. Rather, the show examined Wally's latent anger at Barry and the West family. Still, many fans grew up in the post-Crisis on Infinite Earths era of comics where Wally West was the Flash and Barry Allen was gone. Also, in fairness to Wally's fans,...

It was too difficult for Carlos Valdes to watch The Flash episodes again following his departure.

The former Cisco Ramon/Vibe actor opened up about leaving The Flash with Entertainment Weekly, including what he felt after moving past that stage in his acting career. "Grief comes and goes in waves, and it really was a kind of grief leaving The Flash, especially because it was seven or eight years of my life," Valdes recognized, adding, "Even though I was resolute in my decision and that maintained itself through to today, I really did feel like I was making the right decision, and I never wavered from that, but I still obviously felt little windows of nostalgia and sentimentality just missing the process and missing those people."

Many swift and powerful speedsters have been adapted in DC Universe movies and TV shows. In DC Comics lore, Central City forensic scientist Barry Allen gains the power of super-speed after being soaked by chemicals that had been struck by lightning. This also allows Barry to tap into the Speed Force, which not only fuels his super-speed, but also empowers him with other abilities like time and multiverse travel. Barry uses his super-speed to become The Flash, but he is far from the only speedster in existence.

Barry's adventures have been adapted to both movies and television, with John Wesley Shipp, Grant Gustin, and Ezra Miller, and more portraying the Scarlet Speedster. Additionally, other heroic and villainous speedsters have also appeared on the big and small screens. Here are the 10 fastest speedsters seen in DC movies and TV shows.

Ahead of The Flash's highly-anticipated series finale, the titular superhero series brings back one of Barry Allen's biggest enemies to do battle with him one more time.

Per Entertainment Weekly, The Flash will see Tom Cavanagh return in the series closer, "A New World, Part Four," as Eobard Thawne, aka the Reverse-Flash. While Cavanagh announced his return to The Flash this past February, showrunner Eric Wallace confirmed the actor would appear as his original Season 1 villain during this month's finale "This is Barry Allen's final race, so you can't tell that story without including his most infamous adversary: The Reverse-Flash," Wallace said. "And having brilliantly played the character since season 1, bringing Tom back as our show concludes its run was always part of the plan.

Though the show only briefly brings Oliver back, it's full of action and character development. While Oliver and Barry (Grant Gustin) share one last world-saving adventure, Oliver's return is more than fan service.

The Flash Season 9 Episode 9

The end is truly nigh. After a handful of more standalone-style “interlude” episodes, The Flash enters its endgame with an hour that brings back old favorites and takes big narrative swings, restoring the multiverse and reminding Barry Allen of why he became a hero in the first place.

Any The Flash episode that features the long-awaited return of Keiynan Lonsdale as Wally West, as well as guest appearances from Arrow stars Stephen Amell and David Ramsey, is basically guaranteed to be a must-watch, but “It’s My Party And I’ll Die If I Want To” is a surprisingly emotional installment on top of that, one that offers several characters some much-needed closure and a chance to rededicate themselves to fighting the good fight.

This week’s long-hyped episode of The Flash opens with a birthday party, but it’s the fans who are getting the big gift: O.G. hero Stephen Amell returns as Oliver Queen…sort of. At Team Flash’s bash for Barry Allen (Grant Gustin), fellow Speedster Wally West (Keiynan Lonsdale) and old pal John Diggle (David Ramsey) are welcome guests; Season 6 villain Bloodwork (Sendhil Ramamurthy) is not. When a celebratory toast leads to a mass poisoning, Amell’s Ollie — who died and became the Spectre during Arrow’s final episodes in 2020 — shows up at the perfect time to help save the day. And maybe not for the last time, hints the actor. We recently caught with our old pal Amell, who caught us up on not just his appearance of The Flash, but also his upcoming return to the ring in Heels. Hello, sir! Stephen Amell: How are you?...

Are you ready for the last-ever Arrowverse team-up?

The CW has dropped a trailer for The Flash Season 9 Episode 9, which brings several fan favorites back to Central City one last time.

The highly-anticipated episode brings Stephen Amell back into the mix as Oliver Queen, aka Green Arrow.

It's a big deal because Oliver died at the end of Arrow.

So, how is all of this possible, you ask?

The multiverse remains a big problem for the characters on The Flash Season 9, so we're probably seeing another Earth's iteration of Oliver.

Then again, this universe tends to throw big curveballs at viewers, so we should probably wait until the episode airs on April 26 to speculate.

The special episode also includes David Ramsey, Keiynan Lonsdale (Wally West/Kid Flash), and Sendhil Ramamurthy (Ramsey Rosso/Bloodwork).

The final season of The Flash is officially underway, and one of its biggest episodes yet guest star-wise is gearing up to air on April 26. Prior to the show's return, The CW revealed a slew of Arrowverse guest stars heading to Central City. One announcement has been at the forefront of viewers' minds since he was revealed: Stephen Amell, who led the flagship and namesake series of the Arrowverse. As earlier reported, Amell, fellow Arrow co-star David Ramsey, and The Flash alums Keiynan Lonsdale and Sendhil Ramamurthy will reprise their roles in the season's ninth episode. While the show is on a three-week hiatus, three new photos featuring the group have been released.

Grant Gustin's Barry Allen was almost blond, but The Flash TV creator nixed the comics accurate hair idea. The CW is winding down on the Arrowverse with only a few shows left on their programming slate. While Superman & Lois' fate is unknown, The Flash is approaching its end. The Flash season 9 has only a handful of episodes left before the series finale on May 24.

As the end is near, Gustin recently spoke with TVLine to look back on the show's legacy. During a fan Q&a, Gustin was asked if he wasn't interested in dying his hair blond to match Barry Allen's comics appearance. It turns out The Flash lead actually wanted to do it back when they shot the pilot. However, Gustin revealed that Arrowverse producer Greg Berlanti shot down the idea for the actor's own sake:
