DC Entertainment's plans are becoming clearer with the hiring of writers on "Green Lantern 2" and "The Flash," but there's still no news on a "Wonder Woman" adaptation. However, there's at least one director in the movie industry dying to take a crack at the popular female hero — Nicolas Winding Refn.

The "Bronson" filmmaker made his desire to direct a "Wonder Woman" movie quite clear in a recent interview with Movieline, saying: "'Wonder Woman,' I really want to make. That, I’m hoping, will be my $200 million extravaganza — if I even get close to it."

Refn explained that his take on "Wonder Woman" would explore a central question: "What if women were more powerful than men? What would the world be like? That's a subliminal theme." Read more...

Last week, we showed you some screenshots from the upcoming "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" video game. While those were certainly nice to look at, there's really nothing quite like gazing upon the real thing, is there?

Sadly, the game is still a few months away from release and there are no playable demos to speak of. There are, however, two new videos for the "Scott Pilgrim" game that have found their way online — and, unsurprisingly, they are glorious.

Hitting the Playstation Network in August and Xbox Live at some point down the line, the "Scott Pilgrim" game promises a 4-player co-op mode, rock battles and all of the side-scrolling beat-'em-up video game action that was so customary during the '80s and '90s. Read more...

File this one in the "What If?" drawer, folks: Ashton Kutcher as... Superman?

During the press junket for his recently released film "Killers," Kutcher told MTV News that not only did he audition for the role of DC's Man of Steel, he actually tried on Superman's suit.

"I wore the Superman suit," he told MTV News. "I did a screentest in the Superman suit." Read more...

The cast for AMC's television adaptation of "The Walking Dead" is mostly filled out, but one key character — Carl Grimes, the young son of protagonist Rick and his wife Lori — has remained vacant. Up until now, that is.

Bloody Disgusting reported yesterday evening that actor Chandler Riggs has landed the role of Carl in "The Walking Dead," and MTV News has confirmed the report with the network itself. Riggs joins an impressive cast that includes Andrew Lincoln, Sarah Wayne Callies, Jeffrey DeMunn, Jon Bernthal, Laurie Holden and Steven Yeun.

Briggs, who turns eleven years old later this month, is local to Atlanta, Georgia where the pilot episode of "The Walking Dead" is currently filming. His previous screen credits include "Get Low" and "The Wronged Man." Read more...

Among the legion of actresses in Hollywood, Megan Fox has caused no small amount of debate in the geek world by demonstrating knowledge of her favorite comic books and creators in addition to her starring roles in "Jonah Hex" and "Transformers." She's also campaigned for a potential turn as Michael Turner's "Fathom," among other pet projects.

With all the buzz surrounding her much-debated cred, Fox is very careful to note that she doesn't have the encyclopedic knowledge of comics that some fans display — and demand of their favorite actors.

"Let me clarify this, because this is a very thin line I'm walking here [by] letting you say that I have comic book credibility or nerd credibility," Fox explained to MTV News. "Because that world is an elitist world — the comic book world. And I don't have the extensive rolodex that most of them have. I'm saying that aloud." Read more...

The Ghost Who Walks returns to the screen next week in Syfy's "The Phantom" miniseries, and a bunch of new images from the four-hour television project have debuted online.

Adapted by "Carnivale" creator Daniel Knauf and his son Charles, the two-part "Phantom" miniseries premieres June 20 and is based on the classic pulp comic hero created by Lee Falk, updated with a new costume and modern, high-tech setting. "Desperate Housewives" actor Ryan Carnes stars as Kit Walker, a descendant of one of the earlier iterations of the masked, gun-toting hero, who wears a modified costume that is impervious to most damage and increases his strength and speed.

The new images feature several shots of Carnes in costume as The Phantom. Read more...

Megan Fox is no stranger to comic book rumors, with reported connections ranging from Catwoman to Red Sonja. One comic book film that she is attached to — aside from the forthcoming "Jonah Hex," of course — is "Fathom," based on the Aspen Comics series created by the late Michael Turner.

Speaking with MTV News, Fox confirmed that "Fathom" is still in the works and will eventually get made — even if that means someone else has to take on the lead role of Aspen Matthews.

"That's going to happen even if I have to step away from it and give it to someone else," she told MTV. "That movie will happen, just because I love it and it needs to happen." Read more...
