Timothy Dalton Is The Chief In “Doom Patrol”

Former James Bond and “Penny Dreadful” star Timothy Dalton has been set to lead the cast of the upcoming live-action series “Doom Patrol” on the DC Universe streaming service.

Dalton will play the group’s leader, Dr. Niles ‘The Chief’ Caulder, in the series which hails from Jeremy Carver (“Supernatural”) and Greg? Berlanti (“The Flash”) who are executive producing for Warner Bros. Television.

The series is a reimagining of a strange group of DC Comics outcasts: Robotman (Brendan Fraser), Negative Man (Dwain Murphy), Elasti-Woman (April Bowlby) and Crazy Jane (Diane Guerrero). Led by the mysterious Caulder, they’re called into action by the ultimate hero for the digital age, Cyborg (Joivan Wade), for a mission that will take them to the weirdest and most unexpected corners of the DC universe.

Dalton’s character is a pioneer in medical science, searching the world over for those on the edge of death in need of a miracle. Brilliant but controversial, he will stop at nothing to help those he believes are in need. Alan Tudyk stars as the villain Mr. Nobody in the series which premieres in early 2019.

LEX LUTHOR is (Finally) Coming to the DC-CW After Years of Teases

Lex Luthor is coming to CW's Supergirl season four as a recurring character, according to the show's executive producers Robert Rovner and Jessica Quellner.

"We're beyond excited to introduce iconic villain, Lex Luthor, to Supergirl and to weave him into our story this season," said Rovner and Queller in a joint statement (via The Hollywood Reporter). "We’ve talked about having Lex on the show since its inception and we’re excited to have him finally arrive. We can’t wait for him to shake things up in National City and watch him go toe to toe with not only Supergirl, but his sister Lena Luthor (Katie McGrath)."

Luthor has previously been mentioned on the show - a young Lex Luthor appeared in Supergirl's second season, and the modern, adult character is said to be incarnerated with 32 consecutive life sentences after being caught by Superman. Off-screen and in prison, Luthor orchestrated an assassination attempt against his sister Lena Luthor.

THR reports that Luthor casting for the adult Luthor is underway. Tyler Hoechlin's Superman will appear in Supergirl's December "Elseworlds" crossover with The Flash and Arrow, which will also introduce Bitsie Tulloch as Lois Lane, though Lex Luthor is not expected to appear in that event.

Supergirl airs Sundays on the CW.

I've never been able to get Instagram to work either.
