[Deadline @DEADLINE]

It was a year ago at Comic-Con that Deadline reported that David Jenkins was attached to write the pilot, and that the plan was for him to show-run the series as well.

Booster Gold was created by Dan Jurgens, with the comic centered on Michael Jon “Booster” Carter, a member of the Justice League born in Gotham City who attends university on a football scholarship. He is expelled for gambling and becomes a superhero, although he continues to irritate others with his obsession with fame and wealth. His nickname came via Ronald Reagan after he saved the former POTUS.

Mahershala Ali is calling out Marvel Studios for not making #Blade, which was officially announced at #ComicCon in 2019:

“I’ve been doing this professionally for pushing 30 years now, and one thing I’ve learned is that what is for you is for you and what is not is not. For whatever reason, that project is not for me. If they wanted to do it, we would’ve done it. So I have to move on, and I have moved on. Again, you had me under contract, they have billions of dollars, if they wanted to do the movie, we would’ve done the movie. So we’re not doing the movie.”

Simon Pegg Reveals Jeremy Renner Sent Intimate Selfie To Him on Mission Impossible 5 set

Simon Pegg: I can tell a funny Renner story. I can I I'll tell this now.

Rebecca Ferguson: Are you going to tell them about the photograph.

Simon Pegg: We're filming

Rebecca Ferguson: No, don't go to the photograph!

Simon Pegg: No, we got to go to the photograph

Simon Pegg: I’ll catch it nicely, don't worry.

Tom Cruise: What's the photograph?

Simon Pegg: It's an amazing Look, my daughter is sitting here. I don't mind if she finds out about this photo. Okay, but We're in this train station sequence.

Tom and Rebecca are doing an amazing Me and Jeremy and Ving are kind of background artists for that day.

I didn't mind it. I'm not a man of great ego, but I was a bit bored. And so Jeremy Renner, in a moment of boredom, sent me a picture of his middle bits. which I received on the set. It wasn't the full, arrangement.

It was just one of the items that comes in a pair and it became very difficult to keep a straight face after that, to the point where, and then he started mopping the floor in front of me.

Tom was like, "Who's doing that?" like, 'cause he could hear laughing. And then we felt like naughty schoolboys because we've been misbehaving. So, you know, Jeremy Renner is a very unprofessional actor.

Interviewer: But you kept the picture?

Simon Pegg: I did keep the picture but seriously, we had a ball.
