My Review of The Return Of Swamp Thing (1989)

 

Written by Neil Cuthbert And Grant Morris

Directed by Jim Wynorski

Swamp Thing: "Me? Your Boyfriend?"

Abby: "Why not?"

Swamp Thing: "You said it yourself: I'm a plant."

Abby: "That's okay, I'm a vegetarian."

Having enjoyed Wes Craven's written and directed debut movie for the titular character (Dick Durock), it was time to see what the sequel involving another team could come up. It's something of a mixed bag to be fair.

First of all, our Swamp Thing isn't exactly skulking around in the shadows. If you're stupid enough to be doing bad things near his swamp, he'll make sure you regret it big time. However his infamy also meant that others were desperate for his attention.

On the harmless end of the scale, you've got two kids named Darryl (Daniel Taylor Emery) and Omar (RonReaco Lee) who are determined to get a photo of Swamp Thing in the hope of winning $10,000. This naturally put them in danger but also had them meeting Swamp Thing. Getting a photo of him on the other hand was more of a challenge than they'd hoped.

As for the other end of the scale, Anton Arcane (Louis Jourdan) was back to be the main villain for a second movie in a row and he had assistance with fellow scientists Lana Zurrell (Sarah Douglas) and Dr Rochelle (Ace Mask) as well as security thug, Gunn (Joey Sagal). His aim was immortality and the arrival of estranged stepdaughter, Abby (Heather Locklear) was a key to that particular goal.

In the first movie, the writing for Alice Cable had been very hit and miss. It's not much better for Abby Arcane either. I mean she talks to plants, hates Anton and her romance with Swamp Thing was a tad rushed too. On the other hand, she's kind of humourous in certain scenes when she's not relegated to being a damsel in distress.

I'll admit having Anton as the villain for second time didn't work quite as well as it did for the first movie. There's more monstrous experiments with the Un-Men, some backstabbing between scientists while the final scene indicated that Abby might have more in common with Swamp Thing than previously believed.

- A post credit scene with Omar and Darryl just showed their efforts to get a photo were for nothing.

- Sarah Douglas previously played Ursa in the Christopher Reeve Superman movies.

- The novelisation for this movie did a lot of rewrites. 

- Chronology: Not long since the events of the first movie, though many years have passed since Abby and Anton were in a room together.

The Return Of Swamp Thing upped the comedy element (as well as a psychic sex scene) with hit and miss results. I didn't hate it but it's certainly lacking compared to the first one.

My Review of Swamp Thing (1982)

 

Written And Directed by Wes Craven

Swamp Thing: "Much beauty in the swamp, if you only look."

Back in the 1980s, Wes Craven was on the cusp of creating an iconic horror franchise but before Freddy Krueger, he actually ventured into the world of DC comics. Yup, one of the best horror directors of all time directed a DC movie. Let me geek out a little about that. 

Of all the DC characters that Wes Craven could've adapted, there's something very fitting about Swamp Thing being that character. He's such a perfect character for someone like Craven and with this effort, he got things off to a great start.

Focusing on a government worker named Alice Cable (Adrienne Barbeau), you've got a woodland area near a swamp where secret research had Alice coming into contact with scientist sibling duo Linda (Nanette Brown) and Alec Holland (Ray Wise) as the latter was on the verge of a scientific breakthrough. It's the type of breakthrough you wouldn't want getting into the wrong hands.

Those hands being Anton Arcane (Louie Jourdan) who wanted that formula for himself. He had no problem in killing poor Linda and Alec's attempts to escape ended up in him becoming the titular Swamp Thing (Dick Durock). Can I just say that the look for Swamp Thing was great by the way?

Anyways when Alice wasn't getting repeatedly terrorised by Arcane's men (one of them taking an overzealous delight in trying to kill her), she formed an alliance with Swamp Thing. It took her a bit to realise he was Alec but once she did, the pair teamed up to stop Arcane from creating havoc with that formula.

Unfortunately for poor Bruno (Nicholas Worth), he took became a monster because of Arcane's need to further test things. Arcane even tested it on himself, giving a decent final act swamp fight between his hideous visage and Swamp Thing himself. With Arcane eventually defeated, the movie ended with Swamp Thing leaving Alice but promising to return.

- There's a nice supporting role for Reggie Batts as Jude. He popped up in the second half of the film.

- In the comics, Linda's the wife of Alec instead of his sister while Anton's role was similar to Nathan Ellery from the story this movie was based on.

- A sequel titled, The Return Of Swamp Thing was released in 1989.

- Chronology: I'm guessing the same year it was released.

For a first live action adaptation of Swamp Thing, I really liked a lot of Wes Craven set out to do here. The title character looked brilliant, we got to know enough of Alec Holland before his transformation and Anton Arcane made for a good baddie. I do think Alice Cable could've been better handled as a character but she's a sympathetic and likable enough lead.

My Review of Titans 4x09: "Dude, Where's My Gar?"

 

Written by Geoff Johns And Ryan Potter

Directed by Eric Dean Seaton

Gar: "I need to get to my family."

Stargirl: "I know how important family is."

Gar: "I get the sense that you do."

After two good but diverting episodes set in Caul's Folly, it was time to catch up with what was going on with Gar Logan and it seems that he had his own shit to deal with while his friends were up to their necks in Sebastian's ascension.

The first half of the season had been hinting about Gar's connection to the Red and here he learned that Freedom Beast (Nyambi Nyambi) had been looking for him for a long time. Gar's destined to be the Avatar of the Red, whether he likes it or not and Freedom Beast felt that Gar could only do this heavy task alone.

In a series of trips to the past we saw a younger and scared Gar coming into his connection to the Red and being susceptible to the pain and suffering of animals around him. This included one specific gorilla infected with anthrax being experimented on by Dr Myers and presenting Gar with a moral dilemma as freeing the gorilla would mean infecting the public.

However Freedom Beast found a way to deal with that particular dilemma while also pointing out to Gar that Niles Caulder was responsible for the death of his parents. After everything we saw with Niles on Doom Patrol, this particular reveal didn't exactly shock me. Speaking of the Doom Patrol, I've been missing them and this episode ended somewhere familiar.

With Gar being able to tap into the Red, this episode gave us a surprisingly fun little Multiverse adventure. Not only did Gar get to see himself in animation form but we also briefly saw the likes of The Flash (Grant Gustin), Shazam (Zachary Levi), Swamp Thing and Grant Morrison in a very fun cameo that should make any comic book fan smile.

On top of that, there was a lovely but brief interaction between Gar and Stargirl (Brec Bassinger) before the episode ended with Gar at the Doom Patrol manor and Cyborg (Joivan Wade) attending to him. It looks like Gar's reunion with the Titans will have to wait until next week and fingers crossed, we get some more Multiverse hijinks before then. 

- There was also some voiceovers of Kaley Cuoco's Harley Quinn and Cesar Romero's Joker from Batman 66. 

- The episode had a mid credit scene with Cyborg smiling and eating in front of the camera. Jinx hinted at a possible return for the finale and Rachel was the only other regular to physically appear in this episode.

- Nice tribute to Grant Morrison at the end, describing them as the true Master of the Multiverse.

- From where the events of the mid season finale left off from Gar's perspective.

Dude, Where My Gar? gave Ryan Potter the much needed and focus he deserved and he absolutely delivered here. Gar was at his best here, the flashbacks were great, the Multiverse nods were nicely done and I cannot wait to see what the next episode will bring.

DCU Blog - January 2023 Edition: DCU Chapter One Slate Announced And So Much More

James Gunn really did decide to wait until the last month to reveal part of his DCU Slate and boy, did he deliver in a six minute video to social media and press.

Chapter One titled, Gods And Monsters gave us quite a bit to mull over as well. Breaking it down, here we go ....

First of all of, Batman and Superman fans are getting fed yet again. The Batman - Part II will be released on October 3rd 2025 and will be part of DC's Elseworlds while The Brave And The Bold (older Batman with Damien Wayne as Robin) will be part of James Gunn and Peter Safran's DCU.

James Gunn has confirmed that Superman: Legacy will release on July 11th 2025 as well as Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow. It has yet to be confirmed if Sasha Calle will reprise her role for the movie.

Also getting movies are The Authority and Swamp Thing with release dates to be confirmed for both projects.

The Flash will reboot the universe but actors such as Ezra Miller, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa and Zachary Levi may still factor into this new universe. Speaking of Wonder Woman though.

HBO Max will be going all in on several shows. Paradise Lost: Wonder Woman will be a prequel series set on Themyscira in the vein of Game Of Thrones.

Lanterns will be a True Detective style space cop series focusing mainly on Hal Jordan and John Stewart with other Lanterns set to appear. Booster Gold will also be getting a series.

Viola Davis Waller series will also use characters from Peacemaker as the show was confirmed to be going ahead.

An animated series titled, Creature Commandos, written by James Gunn will also go ahead too with some of the characters eventually making it into live action projects.

Talent who will be working with James Gunn and Peter Safran include Christina Hodson, Jeremy Slater, Drew Goddard, Cristal Henry and Tom King to name a few.

Gunn and Safran also had a meeting with former Batgirl directors Adi' El Arbi and Bilall Fallah for a potential DC project.

Meanwhile in expected news, both Titans and Doom Patrol will end with their remaining episodes due to be released on HBO Max in the new few months.

Superman And Lois has at least one or two seasons left. Michael Culditz has been cast as Lex Luthor for the upcoming third season, airing March 14th on the CW.

Stephen Amell, Keiynan Lonsdale, David Ramsey and Sendhil Ramamurthy will be reprising their respective roles in the final season of The Flash, starting February 8th on the CW.

Sunny Mabel and Ethan Embry have been cast as the parents of Stephanie Brown for the Gotham Knights show, airing March 14th on the CW.

The Penguin series begins production in February in New York and will set up The Batman - Part II while Marsha Stephanie Blake has been cast in an undisclosed role.

Harley Quinn: A Very Problematic Valentine's Day Special will premiere on HBO Max from February 9th.

Wow, that was a doozy to get through. What a way to kick off the first month of 2023. Looks like DC has one hell of a future ahead of it.

My Review of DC TV's Crossover: "Crisis On Infinite Earths: Hours 4 & 5" (Arrow/Legends Of Tomorrow)

Last month, we had the first three episodes of the Arrow universe's most ambitious crossover event with Crisis On Infinite Earths. There were a lot of surprise moments in those three episodes and the game certainly changed for a lot of our main heroes. Could these last two episodes do better? You bet they could.

Written by Marv Wolfman & Marc Guggenheim & Keto Shimizu & Ubah Mohamed
Directed by Glen Winter & Gregory Smith

Barry: "An end."
Sara: "And a beginning. Thank you, Oliver."

Last time we left our seven, well one of them got replaced with Lex Luthor and the rest of them were slowly beginning to lose confidence in their mission. New boy, Ryan Choi somewhat went to town on bringing us all up to speed on that one while Lex continued to scheme and generally get on Kara's nerves while Barry was feeling a bit out of sorts to boot. On top of that, we did get a bit of a trip into the Monitor's past, met his wife, Xeen Novu (Melanie Merkosky) while also seeing the formation of the Anti Monitor. Between Lex trying to blackmail the Monitor for his own schemes, the Paragons also took some trips in past events, which made for seeing certain events in an interesting new way but then we got this moment to boot.

In the first three episodes of this event we got nods to Burton's Batman movies, a continuation of sorts to Superman Returns as well as characters from Smallville, Lucifer, the 90's Flash TV series, Titans and Birds of Prey and Burt Ward for Batman 66. All of that in itself was ambitious and shocking that they pulled it off. However the fourth segment went one better and had Ezra Miller's Flash from the DCEU pop up in a brief cameo where he got to interact with Barry. Seeing the two Flashs fanboy each other while trying to figure out what was going on was absolutely amusing and I'm kind of hoping now that Grant Gustin makes a cameo in Miller's Flashpoint influenced movie that's coming out in July 2022. It's a credit that the producers managed to keep that cameo concealed when pretty much every other one leaked and it's by far the best we've had in this five episode event.

As for Oliver Queen, well his days certainly seem to be done. It took a little way but the former Spectre, Jim Corrigan (Stephen Lobo) got through to him and he helped the Paragons to fan the flame while he lit the spark and battled the Anti-Monitor. In the end, things took a big change but before getting into that, there was no denying that Oliver made the ultimate sacrifice and while you can argue that it should've been Diggle and Laurel at his side during his final moments but the inclusion of Barry and Sara worked just as well for me. Of course whether or not Oliver is truly gone considering there are two episodes of Arrow left though is the other thing.

As for the changes, I think we all knew that worlds were going to merges so having Earths 1 and 38 become Earth Prime was hardly a shocker. More shocking was Lex winning a Nobel prize, being loved by everyone and also being Kara's boss at the DEO but I loved Kara's joy at being on the same Earth as everyone else even if it were tempered by Oliver's death and the Anti Monitor still being at large though. Of course as various characters banded together and we did get a rather quick defeat for the Anti-Monitor but not strictly a death as such. Either way, he's out of the Paragons hair for the time being.

As for the last few moments, things have certainly changed. Oliver's dead but no-one will be forgetting him any time soon and Barry setting up a Paragon council with himself, Sara, Kara, Clark, Kate, J'onn and Jefferson definitely means we should be psyching ourselves up for another crossover event at the end of the year. I've wanted Kara's world to merge with everyone's for a while now and while I was disappointed that we didn't see more Legends in their segment of this part, I do think it worked not having them as the show forges into a new status quo. Worlds may have died but many came back and at least two merged. The DC Universe certainly got a lot bigger now.

- Cameos: Marv Wolfman who wrote the original comic and co-wrote the fourth segment appeared as himself in the fifth part of this event.
- Other cameos included Stargirl and her gang from Earth 2, more Titans from Earth 9, Green Lanterns from Earth 12, Swamp Thing from Earth 19, Doom Patrol from Earth 21 and of course, Superman again from Earth 96.
- Superman and Lois have two boys instead of one and both Diggle and Lyla have Sara back again. Is Ryan also a single parent now too?
- Sargon the Sorcerer (Raúl Herrera) appeared and tried to use Beebo to distract the gang while Weather Witch also crossed paths with Supergirl and The Flash.
- I still can't believe they managed to get the DCEU into this event in some capacity.
- Chronology: Months passed since the events of the third part of this event.

Well, this was certainly a stunning event series and Crisis On Infinite Earths is definitely the pinnacle of what the Arrow universe has managed to achieve in the space of eight years and multiple shows. It's a credit to the CW they were able to pull this whole saga off the way they did and between the various nods, cameos, character moments and game changing events, things have certainly gotten a lot more exciting in this part of the DC Universe.

The Monsters Are Gone For Now

It's been over a month since my last TV Jumble Blog, so here's a look at some of the stuff I've been watching over the last while.

Catch-22: This miniseries came to a satisfying conclusion as Yossarian's repeated attempts to get out of service saw him hiding out briefly in an Italian village before he finally managed to get one over on his superiors. The show has been a good vehicle for actor Christopher Abbott, who definitely should land some bigger roles after this one and while George Clooney wasn't quite as utilised as the adverts would've implied, he had some decent moments as the somewhat antagonist of the piece.

Jessica Jones: The MCU Netflix has finally come to an end and the last few episodes of this show were certainly a mixed bag. I do think Foolkiller was a decent choice for a main baddie but he was mostly in the shadow of Trish, who felt like she was largely character assassinated for her main plot this season. A part of me would've loved a fourth season of this show (same with Daredevil) but given the sluggishness in parts, perhaps it's a good thing that the Netflix era of Marvel shows have now come to an end. At least Disney+ will have the sense not to have too many episodes for their upcoming shows.

Orange Is The New Black: Watching the seventh and final season, it feels right that the show is ending. The first seven episodes seems to be a good mixture of stories with Piper adjusting to the outside world, Taystee getting her fight back, a change in leadership in the prison, Alex and Daya running their own hustles in Litchfield Max, Aleida getting sent back to prison, the ICE storyline involving Blanca and Maritza and the dementia plotline with Red. There's certainly plenty of interesting plots at the moment and I can't wait to see what the remaining six episodes will do to conclude the series.

Pennyworth: If Krypton was a prequel idea too far, then this show will either be a frustration or an intrigue for you or very likely, both. The first five episodes have seen Alfred Pennyworth (lead actor Jack Bannon doing his best Michael Caine impression) working with both Thomas Wayne and Martha Kane, a few shadowy agencies looming in the background, a love interest dead and the old guard somewhat discarded but not totally gone. Paloma Faith hams it up a bit as Bet Sykes but she's arguably the best thing about the show that's fine but far from remarkable, though like Gotham it's penchant for gory violence is something to behold at times.

Stranger Things: I have absolutely loved the third season of this show and the more I think on it, the more I think it might be the show's best one yet. The second half was brilliant with it's individual team and even better when said teams banded together to save Hawkins yet again. It also had a much welcomed departure for Billy (even though this season did humanise him a little more) and perhaps Hopper. Nope, I don't believe Hopper is properly gone at all but damn if that letter scene with Eleven wasn't a teary moment. Then there's Robin, who was the best new character of the season, had a fabulous rapport with Steve and one of the best coming out scenes seen on recent television.  I'm assuming it's be 2021 before we get the fourth season of the show at the earliest.

Swamp Thing: It's a shame that this show has come to an end because the last few episodes really did up the ante big time with the main characters. I was hoping that maybe HBO Max would step in to save the series but it seems like this really was a one and done kind of show and that's a big shame. The cast had great chemistry, the horror element was fantastic and I would've liked to have seen Alec Holland go up against the Rot in a big way and even seen a formation of Justice League Dark. Alas, these things won't happen now.

The Good Place: I've really enjoyed the second season and after the events of this finale, I'm hoping that yet again, E4 don't wait too long to air the third season of the show. Sending the characters back to Earth is certainly an interesting move, even if the focus has initially been on Eleanor and her failed attempts to better herself as a person. I have also enjoyed the evolution of Michael and Janet's characters, the introduction of Hydrogen, the Tahani/Jason/Janet triangle and even Chidi making the odd assertive move here and there.

- Both Brandon Routh and Courtney Ford will be departing Legends Of Tomorrow midway through it's fifth season. Ramona Young will also be leaving the series.
- Krypton has been cancelled after two seasons by SyFy and the station won't be going ahead with their plans for a Lobo spin-off.
- Disney+ will be doing shows for She Hulk, Ms. Marvel and Moon Knight as well as the five shows they previously announced.
- Mitch Pileggi has joined the cast of American Horror Story: 1984
- The third season of American Crime Story, entitled Impeachment will air in September 2020 on FX and will focus on the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal with Sarah Paulson,  Beanie Feldstein, and Annaleigh Ashford announced as main cast members.
- The 100 will end with seven seasons on the CW.
- Now Apocalypse has been cancelled after one season on Starz.
- Viola Davis will play Michelle Obama for Showtime's First Ladies show.
- The L Word: Generation Q will premiere in December on Showtime while the NBC streaming service will air the reboot of Queer As Folk.
- Sarah Michelle Gellar has joined the pilot for FOX series, Other People's Houses.

Damnit Janet

A look into some of the more recent shows I've been watching.

Catch-22: Two thirds into this enjoyable mini-series and the tension has certainly been ramped up as we've seen a few characters fall in love, while others have died and Yossarian's ever desperate attempts to go home have been usurped at every turn and that's in spite of his own attempts to play the system at it's own game. With two episodes left to go, I'm hoping this series can end on a high note and that we see Christopher Abbott in more high profile gigs as he's been great in this miniseries.

Jessica Jones: A few episodes of slightly plodding along and we're finally getting a little into the good stuff. While Sallinger isn't quite as effective as Kilgrave, he has managed to make himself into a credible enough threat with his attacks on Erik and Dorothy, resulting in the latter's death. The last few episodes have also ironed things out a little with Jessica and Trish, brought Malcolm and Hogarth a little into the main story as well as given us some snarky one liners from Gillian but I do wonder if this final season shouldn't have been a bit shortened as well, episode wise.

Stranger Things: It's 1985 and we're back in Hawkins for this show's third year and having watched the first four episodes, I am loving this season. Let's see - Robin is a great addition to the season and her scenes with Steve, Dustin and Erica are a delight, Billy is now a credible antagonist given that the Mind Flayer has possessed him, Eleven and Max's friendship is great, Will, Lucas and Mike work well together even if Will feels like he's being left behind, we've had some great scenes with Joyce and Hopper, the new locations are great and even the Nancy/Jonathan scenes are improving a little bit. The only thing the remaining episodes need to do is bring all the main characters and stories together and we're good.

Swamp Thing: It's still a massive shame that this show got cancelled, but at least the series is slacking off though. The last two episodes really have highlighted what an absolute bastard Avery truly is as a character that the team up of Maria and Lucilia should've been a bit more obvious in retrospect. I've also liked the brief reprise of Alec Holland and his battle to save Abby from the Rot while getting a pretty good origin story for the Blue Devil to boot. I'm really hoping this show might get a second chance somewhere else. Hint, hint, HBO.

The Good Place: An episode solely focused on Michael and Janet was always going to be a highlight for me and this one did not disappoint. It was nice to get an origin story on how Michael stole a Janet from the Good Place and the disastrous effects of her lying. I also quite liked that the show hasn't forgotten her relationship with Jason and how she really feels about him and Tahani while Chidi and Eleanor had amusing side roles in this episode. Overall, I'm enjoying the second season to the show quite a lot.

- Both Colin Donnell and Josh Segarra will return for Arrow's final season while Katherine McNamara has been upgraded to a regular.

- Euphoria has been renewed for a second season by HBO. UK viewers will be able to see the series on SkyAtlantic next month.
- The Walking Dead are casting a love interest from the comics that may also result in the return of Maggie.
- How To Get Away With Murder's sixth season will be it's last.
- Pose has been renewed for a third season.
- JA Bayona will direct the first two episodes of Amazon's upcoming Lord Of The Rings series.
- Katherine Heigl will star in Netflix series Firefly Lane as well as appearing in the final season of Suits.
- Carrie Ann Moss has joined the second season of Tell Me A Story. Both Paul Wesley and Danielle Campbell will return to the show as different characters.

Into The Swamp We Go

Last blog of the month and a look at some of the other shows I've been watching.

Catch-22: The latest adaptation of Joseph Heller's classic novel had it's run on Hulu over a month ago but so far, Channel 4 have aired the first two episodes of this six part series and it's been rather enjoyable. Christopher Abbott has been a good take on Yossarian, a man desperate to get out of his missions while backed up with the likes of George Clooney, Kyle Chandler, Hugh Laurie and Lewis Pullman in various roles. The pacing has been decent enough with a few of the novel's more sexist material toned down a little bit for this current take. It'll be interesting to see how the remaining four episodes for this miniseries play out.

Jessica Jones: We're into final season territory and this really does mark the end of Netflix's era with Marvel property but there's always Disney+ for your next Marvel streaming fix in the next couple of months. The first four episodes of this show's third season still suffers from slow pacing and the most frustrating character transition for Trish as well as Malcolm seeming a bit aimless in his new job but on the other hand, both Jessica and Hogarth are getting love interests, Erik is one of the better male additions to the show with his unique ability and I'm hoping the Foolkiller main baddie will be a lot better than what we got last season. Saying that though, pick up the pace, show.

Swamp Thing: Following the announcement of the show's cancellation after it's first episode, I did wonder if I should've bothered continuing with the show. Right now, I'm glad I have as the main cast have been great and along with our titular creature the show has managed to introduce the likes of Jason Woodrue, Madame Xanadu, Blue Devil and Phantom Stranger with relative ease while upping the main mystery, making the supporting characters interesting enough, using flashbacks wisely and building the connection between Abby and Alec rather well. It's just a shame that once the remaining five episodes have aired, that's our lot with this one.

The Good Place: Recently it was confirmed that this show's upcoming fourth season will be it's last one. I however, have only just begun to watch the second season on E4 and the game has certainly been changed up a bit with Michael forced to work with the four people he has enjoyed torturing in order to save himself from a worse fate than death. I do like that the show didn't waste too much in having Eleanor and company figure out again what was happening to them while Vicky managed to usurp Michael for power over the Bad Place. It'll be fun to see how this grudging alliance with Michael and Eleanor/Tahani/Chidi/Jason over the remaining episodes of the season.

- Lucifer has been renewed for a fifth and final season for Netflix.
- Pop have picked up One Day At A Time for a fourth season, following Netflix's cancellation of the show.
- Scream's third season, which has six episodes will air for three nights in double bills on VH1 from July 8th. It also has the title of Resurrection.
- Lena Headey will lead upcoming Showtime series, Rita, playing the title character.
- Current episode for CW DC show are Arrow with 10 episodes, The Flash with 22 episodes, Supergirl with 20 episodes, Legends Of Tomorrow with 15 episodes and Batwoman for 13 episodes for now.
- CBS All Access's The Stand reboot could feature Whoopi Goldberg, James Marsden and Amber Heard.
- Jennifer Morrison has a recurring role in This Is Us upcoming fourth season.
- The CW will be recasting The Lost Boys although Medalion Rahimi and Dakota Shapiro will remain on board.
