16 minutes ago We’ve all expected that Daniel Craig’s next James Bond film will be his last, but now that the actor has confirmed it, it’s time to begin considering the candidates to replace him in earnest.

The Justice League Snyder Cut is full of parallels to The Lord of the Rings. The original, 214-minute DC story was going to take inspiration from the iconic story by J.R.R.
