In a statement to THR, Johns’ representative explained the executive “believed fans expected the character [of Superman’s grandfather] to look like a young Henry Cavill,” thus a Black actor could not be cast as Superman’s grandfather on the show. Cavill appears as Superman in “Man of Steel,” “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” and “Justice League.” On the issue of Adam Strange, Johns’ rep said, “Geoff celebrates and supports LGTBQ characters, including Batwoman, who in 2006 was re-introduced as LGBTQ in a comic-book series co-written by Johns....

Add in the corrupting Dark Hold spells, and Wanda fully descends into a serial killer monster of a mother....

“He was an absolute genius and a wizard and his contributions to the film and special effects industry will live on for decades and beyond,” she wrote. Trumbull created the special photographic effects for Kubrick’s innovative “2001” (especially the trippy Star Gate sequence, which revolutionized time exposure, miniatures, and motion control techniques), Spielberg’s aliens-among-us classic “Close Encounters” (which advanced the lessons learned from “2001”), the first big-screen wonderment of “Star Trek: The Motion Picture,” and the seedy, futuristic LA of Ridley Scott’s “Blade Runner....
