In Development

 
Zorro: Rounding out the cast of the new Zorro film will be Tanaya Beatty (The Last of the Mohicans, The Only Good Indians) and Damian Alcazar (Blue Beetle, "Narcos"). Beatty will play a Native American scout, while Alcazar will play Zorro's mentor in flashbacks. Alfonso Cuaron is the director of the soon-to-be released film based on a script from LRF rookie Johnny Mercer.

The Punisher: Purgatory: We already know who is returning to the Punisher series in the cast, but know we know the new faces to the franchise. Carla Gugino (Harvard Psychology, Torso) is set as bartender Joan, James Urbaniak (Breakup Season, Oppenheimer) as reporter Ben Urich, Slaine (The Running Man, King Ivory), Francois Chau (The Boy Next Door, 21 & Over) as a surgeon, Jake Busey (Rust, Killing Mary Sue) as Gugino's abusive boyfriend. S. Craig Zahler is directing the Marvel Universe production once again from a script by Dwight Gallo.

The Tick: The animated adaptation of The Tick has added Vanessa Hudgens (Time Passages, Bad Dreams Come True), Jimmy Tatro (Connected, Firestorm), Johnny Knoxville (Brothers in Law, Blood on the Moon), and David Alan Grier (The American Society of Magical Negroes, "St. Denis Medical") to its voice cast. Hudgens will voice American Maid (a parody of Wonder Woman), Tatro will voice Die Fledermaus (a parody of Batman), Knoxville will voice the Caped Wonder (a parody of Superman), and Grier will voice the mayor of The City. Pierre Perifel directs the animated superhero comedy from a script by Lon Charles.

Man of God: Melissa George (The Hulk 2, Gargoyles: A Tale Old as Time), Robert Aramayo (Murder Mysteries, I Swear), and Jon Voight (Sisters, And the Birds Rained Down) have joined the Josh Brolin-led thriller, Man of God. George will play Brolin's wife, Aramayo will play a young preacher, while Voight will play Brolin's father in law, a powerful prison warden. James Mangold helms the film based on an original script by Sammy-Jo Ellis and John Malone.

Dust Saint: Nell Fisher (Tethered, "Stranger Things") and John Hawkes (Pirate Latitudes, Namor the Sub-Mariner: Imperius Rex) will complete the cast of writer Holden Abbott's sophomore effort, Dust Saint. Fisher will play a small town orphan, while Hawkes will play the town's sheriff. This film hails from director Rose Glass.

Spelljammer: Tye Sheridan (Camping, Black Hole), Gerard Butler (The Ghost Connection, Heartstone), and Jason Isaacs (Batman Beyond, The Final Will) have all joined the big budget blockbuster hopeful Spelljammer from director Zack Snyder and writer Dawson Edwards, based on the Dungeons and Dragons campaign setting of the same name. Sheridan will play a young sorcerer, Isaacs a powerful lord, and Butler will voice a monstrous gunslinger.
