FALK HENTSCHEL IS

 DC'S TELEVISION 'HAWKMAN'

In TV news, DC has found their actor for the character of Hawkman who will first appear in CW's shows THE FLASH and ARROW before becoming a regular superhero in their new series LEGENDS OF TOMORROW in the winter midseason. Gorgeous Falk Hentschel (who starred in STREET DANCE, AGENTS OF SHIELD and worked as Mariah Carey's dancer) will play the winged hero, a reincarnation of an Egyptian emperor, who has lived on for centuries alongside his ladylove Kendra Saunders (Ciara Renée). Hawkman is capable of sprouting wings by tapping into the power of the ancient hawk god Horus. As I reported before LEGENDS OF TOMORROW will unite a number of superheroes from the other two shows and some new ones who will together battle common enemies. Wentworth Miller, Brandon Routh and Dominic Purcel also star. 

'DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS'

RETURNING TO THE BIG SCREENS
After WARCRAFT, which is arriving into theatres next summer, it seems another hugely popular fantasy world game will be turned into a movie. Hasbro and Warner Bros. will turn DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS into a huge epic movie. With the script already written by RED RIDING HOOD and WRATH OF THE TITANS' David Leslie Johnson (can't believe he is still working after those two writing atrocities), the movie is slated for 2019 release! Some fifteen years ago New Line made an unsuccessful movie out of it which spawned tons of DVD sequels. That one was set in the empire of Izmer populated by mages, magic users, empresses, dragons, dwarves and elves.
