Actor Nathan Fillion has worked with director James Gunn on a couple of films, including The Suicide Squad. The director told Fillion personally that his debut DC film might’ve been a masterpiece compared to his previous work.

Fillion was cast in the 2020 film The Suicide Squad as the villainous Tdk, where he reunited with his friend and collaborator Gunn. The two already worked together on projects like Slither and Super. Having done two successful films already, there was already a level of trust between the pair. Fillion especially learned to trust in Gunn’s storytelling instincts after what the latter did with Guardians of the Galaxy.
“When he told me…’Hey guys, I got Guardians of the Galaxy!’ I said, ‘I hated that comic.

Actor Nathan Fillion’s career breakthroughs didn’t stop after being cast in Firefly. It seemed Fillion kept finding new opportunities in the entertainment industry to maintain his passion for acting.

The Rookie‘s premise and the concept of a person redoing their life later in middle age helped draw Fillion to the show. It’s a concept that might apply to Fillion’s career as well. Each show he’s been on has required a bit of a redo. Fillion has often had to acquaint himself with different characters, new crew members, and new audiences jumping from show to show. And although Fillion credited the sci-fi series Firefly for being his breakthrough show, the actor felt he’d had several other breakthroughs, too. Including and especially with The Rookie.

One of the most aggravating aspects of becoming invested in a TV show is when networks cancel it too soon. There are many shows that haven’t made it past one season, as they struggle to establish a strong fanbase. For the most part, these cancelled series plummet into the TV wasteland of forgotten shows. But a few live on as cult series, or in the memory of fans still bitter over an early cancellation.
There are several reasons a network cancels a show, but the main one is ratings – especially in the days when the Neilsen ratings determined the fate of a series. Before cable and streaming, the “Big Three” networks of ABC, CBS and NBC fought for viewership, and wouldn’t hesitate to axe a show that didn’t perform well. Unfortunately, some shows like “The Tick” didn’t receive the support they deserved from network executives, either...

James Gunn is set to reboot the shared universe of films based on DC Comics, with the upcoming film Superman. However, Gunn’s plans go beyond a single film and include a new Batman movie, subtitled The Brave and the Bold. On social media, some fans suggest Morena Baccarin as a casting choice for Catwoman in Gunn’s Dcu.

Baccarin is a popular pick for the role but has past ties to other DC Comics-based properties. However, that might not be why Gunn could be apprehensive about casting the actress as Catwoman. Instead, fans pinpointed the real reason why Gunn might be hesitant to cast Baccarin in the Dcu, and here is what they had to say.

Morena Baccarin is no stranger to comic book roles; as well as playing Leslie Thompkins in Gotham, she's also starred in The Flash, voiced several DC animated characters, and had a recurring role as Vanessa in the Deadpool trilogy.
We most recently saw the actress in Deadpool & Wolverine, though it still wasn't as Copycat, Vanessa's mutant persona in the comic books.
Talking at Fan Expo Canada this weekend (via @AgentsFandom), the actress told fans that she doesn't feel the character's story is over after the recent threequel. Not only is she willing to return for future MCU projects, but Baccarin confirmed she'd like to play a Vanessa Variant who is the blue-skinned Copycat.
As for a potential DC role, the Firefly star confirmed she remains keen to play Catwoman (a role she's expressed interest in on several occasions). Will she be the Dcu's Selina Kyle? That obviously remains to be seen.

Morena Baccarin, celebrated for her iconic roles in sci-fi classics like Stargate, began basking in the limelight like never before, following her appearance in Ryan Reynolds’ blockbuster hit Deadpool. Appearing as the flawless Vanessa Carlysle since the 2016 installment, the actress experienced a dramatic surge in public recognition, eclipsing even her acclaimed work in the science fiction realm.

However, with newfound fame comes its own set of quirks. While the actress embraced her success, Morena Baccarin also encountered some of the most bizarre fan requests. Amidst the adoration, Baccarin recalled a peculiar trend where fans began asking her to marry them. Despite the actress being married to Ben McKenzie, fans couldn’t stop their strange and unsolicited proposals.

Actor Nathan Fillion was very close to Joss Whedon, who helped give him his big break with Firefly. Even though the sci-fi show didn’t last long, Fillion and Whedon would work together on a few other projects over the years. But one Whedon project was initially a nightmare for Fillion.
Nathan Fillion had a hard time filming this Joss Whedon movie Nathan Fillion | Michael Tran/FilmMagic
The 2013 feature Much Ado About Nothing differed greatly from Whedon’s and Fillion’s usual collaborations. Much Ado was based on the Shakespeare play of the same name, with Fillion playing the character Dogberry. The movie was a bit of a passion project for Whedon, who was genuinely interested in the original story.
“I love Much Ado,” Whedon once told Collider. “It’s hilarious, and it’s accessible, but it’s also very dark. And it has a lot to say about love,...

Actor Nathan Fillion amassed a huge fanbase thanks to his works in projects like Firefly and Castle. Although both projects catapulted Fillion to superstardom, he felt lucky he hadn’t gotten too famous.
Nathan Fillion once reflected on his own fame Nathan Fillion | Daniel Knighton/Getty Images
Fillion has made more than a comfortable living for himself thanks to his several television and film projects. He got his first official acting job on the soap opera One Life to Live. He was a cast member on the show for three years before branching out to other projects, further expanding his portfolio. At one point, he considered Castle and Firefly his more famous roles. But this was before being cast as the lead on The Rookie. The ABC procedural has been running for six seasons and is still going strong, perhaps exposing Fillion to an even broader audience.

It's hard to believe, but we're already speeding into the back half of 2024. That means we're only months away from the television shows of next year, and of those big forthcoming genre shows, few are as hotly anticipated as The Last of Us, the post-apocalyptic drama based on the beloved video games from Naughty Dog.
The first season of the series ended on a dramatic note when hardened zombie apocalypse survivor Joel (Pedro Pascal) decided to murder an entire garrison of Firefly freedom fighters rather than allow them to kill his surrogate daughter Ellie (Bella Ramsey), denying any hope of synthesizing a cure to the zombie plague from her blood. To top it all off, Joel lied to Ellie about it. We'll find out how that festering secret affects their relationship in season 2.

Despite its ups and downs, I’ve always respected the Alien franchise for daring to try something new with every new entry. From Vietnam allegories to reimagining Chariots of the Gods as a Lovecraftian origin story for the Xenomorphs, the series challenges the very concept of genre as it explores what might go wrong when humanity comes into contact with a truly perfect organism.
And with Fede Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus paying homage to the most underrated movie in the franchise during its horrific final act, today I’d like to look back on Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s unfairly maligned Alien: Resurrection and dive into why I think this oddball gem of a film deserves more love.
Like many sequels, the story of Resurrection begins soon after the release of its predecessor. Desperate for a course-correction after the grimdark prison story of Alien³ left audiences feeling frustrated, Fox attempted to recruit established filmmakers like Danny Boyle,...

You wanna get nuts? Then ask Michael Keaton a question about a controversial topic, and he’ll get nuts.
That’s what GQ discovered when they profiled Keaton in advance of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. The magazine asked Keaton to weigh in on Batgirl, for which he returned as Batman. Even though the movie was almost finished, Warner Bros. decided to shelve it, electing for a tax break instead of completing and releasing the movie. The move outraged anyone who wants a long-running studio like Warner Bros to continue putting out movies. But not Keaton.
“I didn’t care one way or another,” Keaton admitted to GQ. “Big, fun, nice check.” To be clear, Keaton’s only talking for himself, not for any of the up-and-comers who were set back by Warner’s decision. Batgirl starred singer-turned-actor Leslie Grace as Barbara Gordon and was directed by Belgian filmmakers Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah.

Basing a show’s success on viewer satisfaction is a tricky proposition.
TV history is rife with bizarre and nonsensical occasions that make sense only within the numbers — sometimes, not even then.
Firefly is a legendary example of this. It had a loyal fanbase and critical acclaim, but Fox nonetheless cut its legs out from under it.

There are countless instances of relatively popular programs ending on massive cliffhangers, never to return.
Then there are the shows that audiences hate, yet a new season is in the works each and every year.
There’s a great deal of head-scratching here, so the ultimate answer is yes.
A show can succeed if viewers aren’t satisfied, and for several reasons that make more sense in context. The virulent nature of news, audience vs critical reactions, and, of course, money play their roles.

Fans of Fire Country are eager to learn more about the upcoming third season, including if we're going to see Mickey Fox again before her spinoff! Here's what we know!
After establishing itself as one of CBS's biggest new hits in 2022, Fire Country, like all network shows, was delayed thanks to the 2023 Hollywood strikes. It returned in February 2024 with a new season and quickly built on season 1's plots.
With the show a hit, CBS naturally went to the old trend of planning a spinoff for it. They used the classic intro episode with "Alert the Sheriff" had a Three Rock inmate skipping camp right after a drug cartel's helicopter dropped several thousand dollars in cash on the area.

"Avengers: Age of Ultron" climaxes with the Marvelous heroes fighting the titular tin man and his army of duplicates in fictional European nation Sokovia. Ultron has built a giant engine beneath a Sokovian city to lift it off the ground, intending to slam it back onto the Earth and cause a mass extinction event. "When the dust settles, the only thing living in this world will be metal."
This scheme is not inspired by a Marvel comic, but rather another film about a robot army and floating city: Hayao Miyazaki's "Castle in the Sky," the first film made by Studio Ghibli. (Though "Nausicaä Of The Valley Of The Wind" brought Ghibli's soon-to-be founders together.) "Castle In The Sky," set in a Wales-like fantasy world, follows orphans Pazu and Sheeta as they search for Laputa, a long-lost advanced civilization.
Laputa is like Atlantis if it soared above the clouds instead of collapsing beneath the waves.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is one of the biggest and most significant ventures in movie history, whether you like it or not. It is also an essential undertaking in the development of contemporary cinema, so even though it did not revolutionize film as an artform, its influence and significance cannot be discounted.
As you can imagine, with so many films being available, it is highly likely that an actor portrays more than one role in the MCU and we have already provided you with a list of actors who have played multiple roles in the MCU, but aside from the legendary Stan Lee, who had numerous cameos in the MCU, one actor is definitely interesting in this aspect!

Any bozo can watch TV. It takes nothing to plonk your butt down, jab at a remote, and spill Dorito crumbs on your neck while the pretty people on your box fight alien invaders.
To be a true TV fan requires homework. You have to learn the extra stuff that makes you somebody that’s hard to watch TV with – somebody who knows the behind-the-scenes reason why that character’s hair looks weird in that Christmas special cameo (they’re wearing a wig after shaving their head for a Marvel role), why there are only 12 episodes in that season (writers’ strike), or why two main characters barely feature in the same scene for eight seasons despite both mostly living in the same Westerosi castle (acrimonious break-up).

Star Wars: Every Droid You Didn't Know that was Voiced by a Celebrity - Main Image
Droids have always been a source of slapstick and comedy in the Star Wars universe. While fans can’t see the person operating the droid, Lucasfilm does tend to cast some well-known faces to play the occasional bucket of bolts.
Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker have already gone down in Star Wars as the most iconic droid actors, but here are some droid characters from the series that some fans may not have known were voiced by celebrities.
Bb-8 (The Force Awakens) – Bill Hader, Ben Schwartz
Starting the list, Bb-8 was considered iconic for Disney-era Star Wars as he was the first droid to kick off the Sequel Trilogy. Though he’s unintelligible throughout the films, the sounds from Bb-8 come from comedians Bill Hader (Saturday Night Live) and Ben Schwartz (Sonic the Hedgehog...

Rob Zombie has said that for every one film project of his that moves forward, there are five potential projects that fall by the wayside. We haven’t heard of quite that many unmade Rob Zombie movies, but we have heard of several over the years that never got off the ground… and unfortunately, most of them sounded pretty interesting. A little over a year ago, Zombie had said he didn’t know what his next movie is going to be, but he did know what it’s not going to be: he won’t be continuing his Firefly franchise, and he doesn’t want to make a sequel to The Munsters (which was poorly received). So while he figures out his next cinematic move, we we have put together a list of Rob Zombie Movies We Want To See!

Spoilers for "Deadpool & Wolverine" follow.
"Deadpool & Wolverine" is a road trip buddy comedy through the multiverse, where Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) meets many variants of himself. One especially weird member of the Deadpool Corps is Headpool, an undead head from the "Marvel Zombies" universe (he gets around by wearing an automated propeller head). Headpool's voice actor is none other than Nathan Fillion, beloved in geek circles for playing Captain Mal Reynolds on "Firefly" and known outside of them for "Castle."
During the 2000s, Fillion was one of nerds' favorite fancasts to star in a superhero movie -- particularly "Green Lantern," a role that instead went to a pre-"Deadpool" Reynolds. (Fillion settled for voicing Hal Jordan in some animated DC movies.)
While he's not the superhero star his fans wanted him to be, Fillion has popped up in the MCU — three times before playing Headpool, in fact. He...

Promising news from Nathan Fillion about whether we will ever see cast members again from The Rookie: Feds.
While participating in a panel discussion Saturday for The Rookie at Comic-Con, Fillion was told by a fan that she misses the short-lived spinoff that starred Niecy Nash-Betts, Frankie R. Faison, James Lesure, Britt Robertson and Kevin Zegers. Will she ever see them again?
“The short answer is yes,” Fillion said, to applause. Feds, which was a casualty of the dual strikes, was canceled in November. “We are trying to create a universe in which we can all exist.”
In fact, Fillion said building and fostering that universe is so important that he pointed out how The Rookie is no longer just about him. “The title and the idea that it was my show was always just a trick,” said Fillion. “It’s always been an ensemble cast. I’m so very...

As a veteran of what we now call the “old internet,” I remember a time when the scariest media you could find online consisted of seemingly innocent image macros containing sinister details lurking in the background. Known as “mindf*ck” images, half the fun of sharing these spooky memes was the anticipation of finding whatever poorly photoshopped demon face that awaited you in the dark.
Years later, I still find myself fascinated by hidden horrors and I’m clearly not the only one – as we can see by the success of films like Osgood Perkins’ Longlegs, which features its own set of demonic background scares. And in honor of this specific kind of subliminal fright, we’ve decided to come up with a list celebrating six of the freakiest hidden scares in film.
For the purposes of this list, we’ll be classifying “hidden horrors” as any easily missable background...

The forthcoming Batman: Crusader is set to highlight some of Batman's lesser-known rogues as confirmed in the latest teaser trailer.
Firebug, Gentleman Ghost, and Nocturna's powers and abilities are sure to put a fledgling Batman to the test.
The series, created by Bruce Timm, J.J. Abrams, and Matt Reeves, will launch all episodes on Prime Video on August 1.
Previously, Timm stated, "Batman is so early in his career that in the first episode, he’s still an urban myth. It’s not ‘Year One’, it’s more like ‘Week Two.’
Continuing, he added, "I wanted to make him kind of weird, and spooky. If you’re stuck in a room with Batman, whether you’re Commissioner Gordon or Barbara Gordon or Renee Montoya, you don’t feel comfortable. You’re kind of like, ‘What is this guy? What’s this all about?"

Bill Moseley, who has had memorable turns in cult horror classics like “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2,” “Repo! The Genetic Opera” and Rob Zombie’s Firefly trilogy, is set for a key role in the upcoming slasher “Stream.”

The X-Files Season 11 was a terrible misfire from Fox. The network has had trouble in creating a decent TV show of late. Fox is notoriously known for their cancelation of fan-favorite shows and instead greenlighting average to bad shows. As the network looks to rebuild its legacy, one show’s revival could be the saving grace for Fox in the television industry.

Kiefer Sutherland’s 24 ran for 9 seasons on the network followed by a short-lived spin-off series, 24: Legacy. Sutherland earlier shared the possibility of bringing back counter-terrorist federal agent Jack Bauer in a revival of the show. Fox could currently benefit from bringing back a critically acclaimed show like 24.

Let's face it, The Big Bang Theory is an iconic but dated show. In the year it came out, it did a lot to legitimize geeks and set the stage for the era where everyone loves comics, not just nerds.
But what to watch instead? There are actually quite a few decent shows about geeks and their culture that surpass The Big Bang Theory in every way. Our list is not limited to sitcoms, but if you were a fan of Tbbt and were looking for a good replacement, this list will definitely have it.

Actor Nathan Fillion has welcomed a few guest stars on his television show The Rookie. This included a few former Firefly cast members as well.

Fillion has never forgotten his Firefly family, and seems more than willing to collaborate with them whenever the opportunity presents itself. In the first season of his hit show, Fillion saw himself acting alongside Firefly co-star Alan Tudyk. Tudyk made his appearance as a crime scene cleaner on the show. And as excited as Fillion might’ve been to work with Tudyk again, they were supposed to originally reunite on another hit TV show.
“I didn’t even have to suggest Alan Tudyk. We were dying to get him on Castle when Alexi and I were back on Castle, and it just didn’t work out.

The DC Studios head James Gunn announced a Green Lantern series under his new DC Universe. And HBO has officially picked up the series. Executive producers Damon Lindelof and Tom King, alongside showrunner Chris Mundy, will guide the series as it follows Hal Jordan and John Stewart of the Green Lantern Corps.

The series is expected to follow the Lanterns finding themselves embroiled in a dark, terrestrial mystery investigating a murder in America’s heartland. Previously portrayed by Ryan Reynolds in the lackluster 2011 film, expectations are high for the series to redeem the Green Lantern legacy and deliver DC’s finest superhero storytelling yet.

IFC Films has secured the North American distribution rights for “Skincare,” a highly anticipated thriller starring Elizabeth Banks, set to hit theaters on August 16, 2024. The film, directed by Austin Peters, promises to breathe new life into the whodunit genre with a unique twist on vanity and crime.
Banks, known for her roles in “The Hunger Games” and “Pitch Perfect” franchises, leads an all-star ensemble cast in this noir-inspired thriller. The story follows Hope Goldman (Banks), a renowned aesthetician on the brink of launching her own skincare line. Her plans are thrown into disarray when rival facialist Angel Vergara, played by Luis Gerardo Méndez, opens a competing boutique across from her studio. As mysterious events unfold, Hope suspects a deliberate attempt to sabotage her reputation and business.

Ryan Reynolds’ upcoming Deadpool 3 movie is almost around the corner, and fans are still getting new information about the third installment. One of the most interesting arcs in the film is Wade Wilson’s love life, and it seems like it is not happening anymore.
Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool & Wolverine / Walt Disney Studios
Morena Baccarin portrayed Vanessa Carlysle in the movies, and although she’s only a minor character, her arc affects that of Wade’s so much. As his fiancée, the events that happen to the character drive Deadpool’s motivations, and as per a new report from director Shawn Levy, it seems these efforts were futile.

It goes without saying that when it comes down to one of the most talented and entertaining ensembles on network television, The Rookie is going for the prize.
In an age when ensembles face a litany of casting issues, shifts, changes, and cutbacks, The Rookie has remained intact with little issue.
And while the cast has evolved over the years, it has found a relatively consistent rhythm.
So, what are the characters and cast looking like for The Rookie Season 7?

John Nolan has shed his title as the "oldest rookie" some time ago, but it doesn't stop the others from cracking a few jokes at his expense.

Halo has captivated gamers since its release in 2001. It is known for its rich narrative, groundbreaking gameplay mechanics, and memorable characters like the armored protagonist, Master Chief. The Halo series over the years has redefined the Fps genre and has been a popular source of entertainment: novels, comics, and even live-action adaptations.
Nathan Fillion, the beloved actor celebrated for his roles in The Suicide Squad, Firefly, and Castle, has been a household name in the entertainment industry. However, his journey into the iconic video game franchise began with a mere coincidence and a medical procedure.

Harrison Ford served as a slight inspiration for Nathan Fillion’s Firefly performance. The actor once commented on the similarities between his Firefly role and Ford’s own space cowboy.

Nathan Fillion’s Firefly captain Malcolm Reynolds drew a few comparisons to Harrison Ford’s Han Solo. Like the Star Wars anti-hero, Malcolm Reynolds didn’t set out to be a hero and save the universe. Reynolds was a part of a space crew all looking to get by and make ends meet. It was one of the many aspects Fillion found about playing the character.
“He is heroic in a way, but in the same way as single parents are heroic,” Fillion once told Games Radar. “Single parents – parents in general – are heroes! You take a single parent, they’re doing it by themselves, they’ve got no help,...

If you have already seen If, it’s high time to revise Ryan Reynolds’ filmography. He is recognized for his superhero flicks, with 2016’s Deadpool standing out, action movies such as Free Guy (2021), and dramatic performances in Buried (2010) and Life (2017).
It’s also common knowledge that Reynolds is no stranger to comedies, even if we take his Deadpool into account. However, few fans know that back in 1998, the actor starred in an ABC sitcom that became a significant jumpstart for his successful career.
The series’ plot revolves around Berg (played by Reynolds) and Pete, two college graduates who share an apartment and work at a local pizzeria. They can’t imagine their life without the help of their neighbor and former collegemate, Sharon, who gives the boys advice on literally all spheres of life, including their romantic exploits, of course.

Hollywood is a constant churning mill of content with competitiveness rooted at its core. A striking example of this is the current summer box office that has witnessed a tide of resurgence following the release of the Will Smith and Martin Lawrence starrer Bad Boys: Ride or Die. The fourth installment in the franchise holds immense importance, at least for the former entertainment stalwart, who is marking his biggest return to the big screens after the 2022 Oscars debacle.

Every. Season. Counts.
The Bear's renewal for simultaneously filmed third and fourth seasons was sweet dad-rock music to the ears of critics and audiences alike.
After sweeping the Emmys and benefiting from word-of-mouth buzz around its Christmas-themed episode "Fishes," the show was practically guaranteed renewal to give us at least one more season with the volatile and tight-knit Berzattos.
An Interesting Experiment
Capitalizing on the moment by filming back-to-back seasons was a smart move for the series and might become a trend for other shows.
Logistically it makes sense to take advantage of utilizing a show's cast and crew for two seasons in one go, instead of having to align all of those schedules again in another eighteen months or so.
In the current landscape of surprise cancellations, it also makes creative sense for a show to film a multi-season arc without the worry of ending on a cliffhanger.

You don't have to be a connoisseur of film and television history to keep up with the fascinating story of Firefly, which happened in 2003. Then Fox ordered a sci-fi adventure series from Joss Whedon in the spirit of Star Wars, Star Trek oder Babylon 5.
The future director of The Avengers filmed a space opera combining science fiction and western, but for a number of reasons, not only did the network refuse to continue the popular show, but also wasn't too eager to show the finished 14 episodes.
The indignation of fans knew no bounds, but all the viewers and creators of Firefly managed to achieve was the shooting of the feature film Serenity, a cult in narrow circles, but not very successful at the box office space action movie.
Twenty years after the movie's release, talk of canceling Firefly still rages, especially since the show's actors are still closely associated with the show's characters.

You probably know that Loki (Tom Hiddleston) was the big bad of 2012's "The Avengers" and his role there is why he's still the defining villain of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Not even Thanos can say he got his own TV series like Loki did! It's not just the God of Mischief being in the right place at the right time, though.
"Avengers" writer/director Joss Whedon overhauled Loki, turning the meek sad boy from 2011's "Thor" into a wickedly charismatic megalomaniac. Hiddleston took that change and ran with it, proving he can wield an evil grin as effectively as he can puppy dog eyes along the way. Every subsequent Loki appearance has been trying to meld the two characterizations; Loki's an evil bastard, but he does love his mum and big brother Thor (even if he loves himself a bit more).
Loki (really Hiddleston) holds the screen all on his own in "The Avengers.

Supernatural was the show that never seemed to end. But in 2020, the long-awaited final episode was released. Over the course of fifteen seasons, the show managed to change several genres and offer a whole galaxy of very different storylines.
Supernatural has managed to go from complex emotional drama to hilarious irony over the years, never boring its viewers.
One of the key ingredients that was part of both the drama and the comedy relief was, of course, Crowley. The character, brilliantly played by Mark Sheppard in seasons from 5 to 12, began the series as a humble crossroad demon, but thanks to intelligence, cunning and ruthlessness, he quickly reached the top of the demonic hierarchy and took the throne as the King of Hell.

One of the world's highest-grossing and most famous film directors started out as a special effects artist for the king of B-movies, Roger Corman, known for his ability to shoot quickly and cheaply. Perhaps it was Corman's projects that made James Cameron swear off making low-budget movies, eventually becoming the first director in the world to receive budgets of $100 and $200 million.
Today, Cameron is considered to be not only one of the most important science fiction directors of our time, but also one of the most successful directors in general, whose films break unattainable box office records and are incredibly loved by audiences.
But few fans know that at the very beginning of the 2000s, Cameron created a sci-fi project for the small screens starring Jessica Alba - Dark Angel.

Nathan Fillion thought Ant-Man was a low-rung superhero before he saw Paul Rudd carrying the role easily. He was surprised when Rudd made the character almost endearing to him. Earlier it was rumored that Fillion was considered for the Ant-Man role. The rumors started after Joss Whedon directed The Avengers, as he and the director had worked together on Firefly.

When Paul Rudd debuted as Ant-Man, he quickly made the pint-sized hero one of the most popular characters in Marvel. His take on the character even impressed Nathan Fillion, who didn’t have the highest opinion on Ant-Man at first.
What Nathan Fillion thought of Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man Nathan Fillion | Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic
Fillion considered himself a fan of superhero films, and starred in his own fair share of crime-fighting flicks. He was known for voicing Green Lantern on a couple of animated DC projects. He also had a role in the James Gunn original superhero movie Super.
In a resurfaced interview with the Advocate, while expressing his own desire to play superhero films, Fillion discussed his love of Marvel films. He was particularly surprised by the Marvel film Ant-Man, with Rudd playing the titular character. Fillion thought Rudd helped make a character he considered silly at first look quite endearing.
