Ben Affleck confirms that he is definitely not directing Warner Bros. ’s Justice League movie :
“ I ’m not process on the Justice League . One of the problem with entertainment web sites is that they need to fulfill Page , and that ’s how rumours get begin . Justice League sounds really exciting , but it ’s not something I ’m working on . ”

Meanwhile , the top contenders to take on the project are reportedly the Wachowskis , whose work on Cloud Atlas was reportedly good enough to convince Warner Bros. that they can handle a crazy , multi - character , large - budget smash hit , even if their post - Matrix trail phonograph recording has n’t been all that neat ( give or take our well - documented honey of Speed Racer ) . The Wachowskis have at various points been link to a Plastic Man and one of the many failed attack to reboot the Superman enfranchisement , although it ’s an open question how much they would desire to go back to the studio apartment system after the probably much freer rein they had on Cloud Atlas .

Steven Moffat explains why this unexampled series understate the big electric discharge of previous seasons ( though I ’m infer there will still be some sort of informal overarching taradiddle ) in favor of standalone blockbuster episode :
“ No , this time I abandoned fairground rides for picture posting . When we had pitch meetings for the various stories , whether I was pitch to a writer or a author was pitching to me , I would say , ‘ Tell me the movie poster . Tell me the championship . recount me that . rent ’s have a blockbuster every exclusive week . No two - parters , every unmarried workweek is go to be a megahit and let ’s not have the gaudy episode , let ’s not make one . Let ’s just make them all Brobdingnagian . ’
Last season we did an arc and next year we ’ll do something else . I think that every year you have to push it in a particular direction to see what happens with it . It just keeps it fresh and exciting and new . I ’m always terribly aware that even the new interlingual rendition of the show is getting old , so you desire to do something each year to make you feel , ‘ Oh god , we ’re doing something new and something different . ’ For that rationality , each year should feel unlike . You should n’t arrive and guess it ’s unspoiled honest-to-god cosy traditional Doctor Who , you should think , ‘ Ooh , it ’s doing something slightly different this sentence . ’ Always , I cerebrate . Keep it fresh , keep it tight . ”
He also substantiate that Doctor Who is still very much get word as the “ diadem precious stone ” of the BBC and that they are completely behind the show . He observe actively avoiding stories that would only make signified to the fans , though he does care to include in - jokes and references as signs of “ solidarity ” with the sports fan , which is why both Exxilon and Spiridon get shout - outs in “ Asylum of the Daleks . ” in the end , Moffat says the Doctor revitalize into a woman is still very much a possibleness , and in his opinion the continued interest in it belike means it will pass one of these Day .

Elsewhere , Moffat explains why characters like the Rani are never exit to amount back :
“ They all experience who the Master is , they know Daleks , they probably make out who Davros is , but they do n’t know who the Rani is , so there ’s no point in convey her back . If there ’s a billet it ’s probably somewhere there . Even mass who do n’t know the past very well get thrilled by the idea that you ’ve brought something back . Everyone get very excited – and by everyone I mean real people – when the Master issue forth back , even though most multitude could just think of him . It has to be self - explanatory , it has to be complimentary - standing , it has to be well-defined for everybody . If I did the Meddling Monk team up up with Mavic Chen ’s daughter and the Krotons then yeah , that ’s too much , because no one impart a flip . ”
While that ’s generally quite reasonable and in all probability right , I might quibble a bit over the Meddling Monk — the melodic theme of a Time Lord who messes with time just sort of because he can ( with some vague justification about meliorate things ) is a majuscule conception that deserves revisit one of these days , the defunctness of the Time Lords notwithstanding . But yeah , no one would get energise over the Monk ’s take , and that goes triple for the Rani . [ Life , Doctor Who , and Combom ]

Star Michael Emerson enunciate that time of year two wo n’t resolve Finch ’s season - ending gaining control by Amy Acker ’s Root right away :
“ For a while in the other loss of the Modern season , [ the person of the week story ] will be commix in with the on-going backstory of The Machine and of Mr. Finch being unavailable and of Mr. Reese figuring out how to do their usual work single - handedly .

Executive manufacturer Marc Guggenheim explain the show ’s approach to incorporating other fictional character from the DC universe :
“ I think as far as those big gens like Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne and Hal Jordan and Diana Prince , we ’re going to shy aside from that , especially because we really want to base Oliver Queen as our hero and our lead . We ’re not front to do Justice League as our TV show . We ’re doing a show call ‘ Arrow , ’ which is about Oliver Queen . Anyone who comes into his world will be a supporting quality . Those characters are n’t support character . Those are leads . So we ’ll be focusing more on supporting cast in the DC population . People who come in and complement Oliver , not overpower him . ”
