Arrow's Deathstroke Pushing CW For His Own Stand-Alone Series

Published Wed, 31 May 2017 22:18:30 -0500

Arrow's season five finale saw the return of Manu Bennett as Deathstroke / Slade Wilson. Now on prompting from a fan on Twitter, Bennett responded by saying:

Everyone who wants a Deathstroke original series needs to rally and let DC Comics, Warner Bros., Netflix, and CW superhero series producer Greg Berlanti and writer/producer Marc Guggenheim know.

Who knows, with the ongoing successes of the stable of CW and Netflix superhero series, anything is possible. Bennett had been stuck on Lian Yu since the season three episode The Return. Swooping back via a Deathstroke ex machina to help the Green Arrow (Stephen Amell) save the day.

What about you, would you watch a dedicated Slade Wilson series, or does he fit better as part of a team?

'Rocketman' Soars With Warts and All Elton John Story [Review]

After 2018's biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody, about Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, it seems that it's time for retrospectives looking into the lives and careers of some of the late 20th-century musical icons. However where Rhapsody was a super-sanitized and wildly fictionalized account of Mercury's career, the new Rocketman, starring Taron Egerton as the similarly unique Elton John, is a fantasy-laced full-bore musical that carries far more truth and energy than it's predecessor.
