A couple of new rumors regarding some major upcoming superhero films have come to light, but none have been confirmed as yet.
First up, we know Common is set to make an appearance in David Ayer's upcoming "Suicide Squad" film but the role he's set for has been kept under wraps. Today, Joblo is reporting that the rapper/actor will Aquaman villain the Black Manta in the movie which has begun production for an August 2016 release.
That isn't the only juicy rumor regarding superheroes today. Another comes from El Mayimbe who says that the title for the upcoming Marvel-approved reboot of the Spider-Man franchise could well be "Spider-Man: The New Avenger". The title would certainly clue audiences in on the superhero now being a part of the larger McU.

In The Wrap's original report on the shortlist to play Spider-Man in Marvel's Captain America: Civil War, they noted that there were other younger actors also in the running besides Nat Wolff, Asa Butterfield, Tom Holland, Timothee Chalamet and Liam James. Given Marvel's history (Captain America, Star-Lord, etc.) of having an extensive shortlist during casting and then ultimately picking someone Not on that list, The Wrap wisely gave themselves some wiggle room. Could the same thing play out with Spider-Man? Fans have noticed that Billy Unger (19), star of Disney Xd's Lab Rats, attended the Avengers: Age of Ultron and inexplicably used the hashtag #SpiderMan.

Robert Orci open to gay Star Trek character, Utah misses marriage appeal filing deadline, Grindr gets a new look
Bioware has announced details of Dorian from Dragon Age: Inquisition, a powerful mage from a wealthy family he rejected who also happens to be an openly gay character. “Dorian is gay—he is, in fact, the first fully gay character I’ve had the opportunity to write. It added an interesting dimension to his back story, considering he comes from a place where “perfection” is the face that every mage puts on and anything that smacks of deviancy is shameful and meant to be hidden. Dorian’s refusal to play along with that façade is seen as stubborn and pointless by his family, which has contributed to his status as a pariah.” He also kicks ass, can summon the dead to fight for him, and has full control of his magical abilities.

Another day, another Disney star gets in trouble with the law. Billy Unger is the latest Disney darling to get arrested for an alcohol-related offense.
According to TMZ, the 18-year-old was driving on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu over the weekend around midnight when Sheriff's deputies pulled him over for speeding.
Police officers suspected that the "Lab Rats" star was under the influence and indeed, he was. Billy blew a .08, which is barely the legal limit but since he's under the age of 21, he automatically gets a DUI charge.
Unger was arrested, taken to jail and released.

A number of Disney Channel stars, including Billy Unger, Bridgit Mendler and Bella Thorne, have launched a campaign against cyber bullies.
The actors are encouraging children between the ages of six and 14 to treat each other with respect online.
The crusaders are also urging parents to monitor their kids' use of cell phones, social networking and gaming sites.
Lab Rats star Unger, 16, has drawn on his own experience to help promote the movement - he was taunted with names such as "small fry" and "shortie" in his early school days.
The actor was given the boost he needed to stand up to bullies after a casting agent informed him a shorter height was advantageous for a child entering the entertainment industry.
In a statement, he said, "So from that point on, when people called me small fry or shortie I was like: "Yeah, you're right and I am proud of it."...

Monster Mutt
Stars: Rhiannon Leigh Wryn, Billy Unger, Zack Ward, Brian Stepanek, Juliet Landau | Written by Timothy Dolan | Directed by Todd Tucker
I’ll admit it, ever since I heard that Monster Mutt was being released I’ve been chomping at the bit (pardon the pun) to watch it. Why? Well the film was described to me as a family-friendly 80s throwback featuring a giant dog that was all puppet and no CGI. 80s? No CGI? Sounds like a dream combo to me… And thankfully I wasn’t disappointed.
Monster Mutt tells the story of the Taylor family, more pointedly the two Taylor children Ashley (Wryn) and Zach (Unger) and their beloved, and clever, family pet Max who is kidnapped by the evil Sirus Caldwell (Ward) and subjected to a bizarre experimental injection that sees Max transformed into the eponymous monster mutt. With a little help from scientist Dr. Victor...

Here is a list of things I hate: the idea that high school is fate. Incredibly contrived romantic comedy plots. Elderly people hyper-sexualized to the point of “comedic” disgust. Hollywood’s perpetuation of the ‘beautiful jock/ugly nerd’ cliché. Ugly characters who become beautiful when they take off their glasses. Characters incapable of forgiving others for tiny past missteps. Women portrayed as deceptive irrational fools. The idea that love is the high-stakes maintenance of a series of illusions of perfection. Adults who are just hyperactive egomaniacal idiot children with credit cards. Oh, I’m sorry, I meant here is a list of things in You Again.
Now, before I begin grousing about this piece of garbage, I would like to give a big round of applause to Billy Unger. The fifteen-year-old actor absolutely kills it as the protagonist’s younger brother, Ben. I laughed, not chuckled, but laughed almost every time he appeared on screen.

This is the week you may want to think about using up those giftcards and cash you got from returning your holiday presents. Major releases are vying for your greenbacks alongside re-releases in Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D (in case Santa brought you a 3D TV recently), and other more independent titles. In addition to movies, there's also a Buffy motion comic and the next volume of a vampire's diary in paperback.
