I walked by the Metro Toronto Convention Centre yesterday and saw production setting up there. They put up a movie marquee for "Dawn of the Seven", so I guess we'll see a movie premiere scene. My phone's camera sucks so here's a picture I found from someone's twitter:

Stay around after filming.

I did when Ghost Rider was shot at a big stadium here in Melbourne.

They were literally giving props away to anyone who wanted one - nothing flash, flyers, or foam hands (it was the bike jumping scene at the sports stadium) etc

They will probably have lots of 'lobby cars' or 'promo items' - if they aren't for future use, a polite word often gets you a nice treat.

THE BOYS: KATIA WINTER CAST AS LITTLE NINA FOR SEASON 3

Quote

Sleepy Hollow alumna Katia Winter has been cast in the upcoming third season of Amazon's The Boys.

 

Winter will recur on the unabashedly violent superhero series as Little Nina, a Russian mob boss with a penchant for sex toys. That's right, my friends. If you search the words "The Boys Little Nina" on Google, the first image reveals her character holding a massive vibrator. How does Little Nina eventually exit The Boys comic book series, you ask? Ha! As if I'd ruin that glorious moment for you.

 

Production for The Boys Season 3 is currently underway in Canada. The series stars Jack Quaid, Laz Alonso, Tomer Capon, Karen Fukuhara, and Karl Urban as well as Erin Moriarty, Antony Starr, Dominique McElligott, Jessie T. Usher, Chace Crawford, and Nathan Mitchell.

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos reportedly said today that there’s “nothing weird” about the fact that two popular television shows, The Boys and Invincible, on the network he owns “happen” to imagine a world where bald, billionaire comic book character Lex Luthor’s nemesis Superman is secretly a villain.

 

“Listen, when these pilot scripts came across my desk, I knew they would be hits,” explained the business magnate. “What really jumped out about these shows is that they finally showed us what we’ve all been thinking all along — Superman, if he were a real person, is a threat to humanity and must be stopped at all costs. Similarly, if Lex Luthor was a real person, he sounds like he would be really cool, and maybe even hot! He sounds like he would be a cool, hot guy.”

 

Anthony Starr, who plays Superman stand-in Homelander on The Boys, said that Bezos was very hands-on with the actor’s portrayal.

 

“Jeff would show up to set a lot,” said Starr. “At first, I thought he was just very passionate about this project, but then one of the directors told me he has only ever come for my scenes. He would routinely come up to me to spit in my face and call me names. I guess I thought he was just kinda Kubricky, but it seemed, like, really personal. That being said, it did end up being a tremendous help at getting into character as someone hiding that they are seething with rage all the time and could snap at a moment’s notice.”

For those wondering...

Just watched the first two seasons in the last two weeks.  Never read the comic, but the show is entertaining (albeit very dark for my tastes).

Spoiler

Favorite moments were laser baby...

And the Girls Get It Done beat-down of Stormfront.

 

So now I've started reading the comic.  Ten issues in.  Entertaining but very different from the series.

Though season three of The Boys has already wrapped production, news of others that joined the cast of the Emmy-nominated series has started to come out. Deadline brings word of three new additions to the series with Frances Turner (The Man In The High Castle) set to play Monique, the wife of Laz Alonso's Mother's Milk (Alvina August previously played this role in season one); and Kristin Booth (Orphan Black) and Jack Doolan (Marcella) as superhero siblings "Tessa and Tommy, aka the TNT Twins," seemingly a new creation for the show and perhaps a riff on the Wonder Twins.

 

These three join a stacked roster of new additions to the cast of the series which will include Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy, a character that in the pages of Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson's comic series is a riff on Marvel's Captain America. Other newcomers that have been enlisted for the third season will also include Sean Patrick Flannery (The Boondock Saints) as a supe called Gunpowder, a character that has roots in the comics and was briefly featured in the first season of the show (also played by a different actor). Others include Miles Gaston Villanueva (The Resident) as Supersonic, an ex-boyfriend of Erin Moriarty's Starlight, and Nick Wechsler (Revenge) as Blue Hawk. Laurie Holden (Andrea on AMC's The Walking Dead) will also appear as "Crimson Countess" a counterpart to Scarlet Witch.

 

"I think anyone expecting Jensen to show up and be a good guy, they will be disappointed. I'll say that! [Laughs]," Kripke previously said in an interview with Variety. "In the comics he's mostly just kind of bumbling and subservient to Homelander, I would say. As we're writing him in this, we're getting to really talk about the history of Vought because he's like John Wayne. He's one of these guys that's been around for decades of Vought history. And he was Homelander before Homelander, so he's from a different era, but he's got the ego and the ambition — it just comes across in a different way because he's from a different time."
