Namor the Sub-Mariner: Ricky Whittle ("The 100", "American Gods"), John Noble ("Sleepy Hollow", "Fringe"), Samara Weaving (Visions, Y: The Last Man) and Jay Ryan (It Chapter Two, "Mary Kills People") have all signed on to the Alden Ehrenreich-led Marvel Universe film, Namor the Sub-Mariner. Whittle will play the villainous Warlord Krang. Noble will play the Emperor of Atlantis, Thakor. Weaving will play Atlantean Lady Dorma. While Jay Ryan will play US Navy Lt. Todd Arliss, who works under Peter Weller's Admiral. JC Chandor directs from a script by John Malone.

The Devil's Revenge: Lucas Till (McCain, Sunny Days), Bill Pullman (Buried Child, The Devil's Passage), Eric Christian Olsen ("NCIS: Los Angeles", Battle of the Sexes) and Jacki Weaver (Control, The Polka King) have joined the sequel to the Season 14 western from writer Jimmy Ellis, The Devil's Passage. In The Devil's Revenge, Till will play a young deputy working with the sheriff played by Bill Pullman. Olsen plays an outlaw, while Weaver will play the mother to Garrett Hedlund and Ethan Hawke. Lance Daly is directing the film.

The Glass Menagerie: Sam Mendes (Revolution, Stan) has signed on to direct an adaptation of the famed play by Tennessee Williams, The Glass Menagerie. The cast will be led by Shia LaBeouf (One Day More, Fractured), Susan Sarandon (Revelations, Runaway), Rooney Mara (The Crucible, But What Am I?) and Sebastian Stan (Bioshock, Heavy Rain). LaBeouf will play an aspiring poet who still lives at home and works at a shoe warehouse to support his mother and sister. Mara will play his cripplingly shy sister, while Sarandon their faded Southern belle mother. Stan will play a co-worker of LaBeouf's. Lon Charles (The Temptations, The Crucible) penned the adaptation.

Green Lantern Corps: We already know that Tom Cruise (Heights, The King of Hearts) has signed on to play Green Lantern Hal Jordan in the film, Green Lantern Corps, but now we know a bit about the plot and who else will be joining him. Cruise's Hal Jordan will be tasked with training a new Green Lantern from Earth, John Stewart, following an unspecified incident. Stewart will be played by John Boyega (Blue Heat, American Dream). Also joining the film will be Carrie Coon (Cascade, To the Moon) as Carol Ferris, Jordan's former lover/boss who he left behind when he left Earth to serve in the GLC. Christopher McQuaurrie (Mission: Impossible - Fallout, Jack Reacher) is set as director based on a script by DC Comics Universe regular APJ (The Birds, Hawkworld).

The Vegan Movie 2: Tariq Goes to Sarah Lawrence: Alex Wolff (Haunted, Drugstore Perfume), RJ Cyler (Drugstore Perfume, The Vegan Movie) and Connie Britton (Should've Been Here, Bunker 17) have all signed on to reprise their roles from the surprise success from Season 12, The Vegan Movie. This sequel sees the characters from the first film finished with high school and reading for college, with Tariq (Cyler) headed to Sarah Lawrence College (if it wasn't obvious from the title). Jared Hess (Masterminds, Don Verdean) has taken over as director of the sequel, with a script once again penned by Alex Conn (Suburban, A Life).

Less: Ewan McGregor (The Phantom of the Opera, Walker), Diego Boneta (Terminator: Dark Fate, The Titan) and Christopher Plummer (Skyrim III: Dovahkiin, Guilt) have all signed on to an adaptation of the novel Less by Andrew Sean Greer. McGregor will play a novelist who travels the world on a literary tour to numb the loss of the man he loves. Paul Feig (A Simple Favor, Last Christmas) has signed on to direct the film from an adaptation by Rosie JoLove (The Kiss Quotient, The Wonder) and Rachel Hallett Hardcastle (All The Pretty Horses).
