The Kristian Harloff Show

Could Elle Fanning become the MCU's new Mystique? Marvel Studios is reportedly looking at several actresses to play Raven Darkhölme/Mystique in the upcoming X-Men reboot, with Elle Fanning among the names reportedly being considered.
On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we discuss the latest X-Men casting rumors, whether Elle Fanning would be a good choice for Mystique, and how Marvel Studios' new mutant roster is beginning to come together. After years of Jennifer Lawrence and Rebecca Romijn playing the character, what should Marvel do differently with its version of Mystique?
The MCU's X-Men continues to be one of Marvel's most anticipated upcoming projects, and every new casting report gives us another potential clue about the direction Marvel is taking with the reboot. How important will Mystique be to the first movie, and could she become a major recurring character throughout Marvel's mutant saga?
Then we turn to The Batman.
Robert Pattinson says his version of Batman wouldn't fit into James Gunn's DCU. Fans have debated for years whether Pattinson's Dark Knight should eventually become the DCU Batman, but Pattinson himself seems to think the universes simply don't belong together. Is he right? Should Matt Reeves' Batman remain completely separate, and what does this mean for The Brave and the Bold and the search for the DCU's Bruce Wayne?
We're also discussing a fascinating new television project from Terence Winter, who is adapting Jay Stratton's memoir Out of the Shadows into a series centered on investigations into unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs).
The biggest discussion today is the continuing development of Marvel Studios' X-Men reboot. If Elle Fanning really is being considered for Mystique, could she follow Rebecca Romijn and Jennifer Lawrence and put her own stamp on one of the franchise's most recognizable mutants?
We're also tackling the continuing Robert Pattinson/DCU Batman debate. Pattinson doesn't believe his Batman belongs in James Gunn's universe — and he may have a point. Does keeping the ReevesVerse separate give both versions of Batman a better chance to succeed?

The Batman Part II is apparently going in a VERY different direction. Robert Pattinson is opening up about Matt Reeves' highly anticipated Batman sequel, calling the movie incredibly ambitious and a "real left turn" from The Batman. So what exactly is Matt Reeves planning for Bruce Wayne's next chapter?
On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we break down Pattinson's latest comments and what they could mean for The Batman Part II. After Sebastian Stan compared the experience to The Godfather Part II, expectations surrounding the sequel are getting enormous. Could Matt Reeves actually deliver a Batman sequel that surpasses the original?
We also have some fascinating Star Wars discussion after George Lucas opened up about why he ultimately walked away from the franchise he created. Lucas had plans for another Star Wars trilogy but realized it would require roughly another decade of his life. We discuss his decision, the sequel trilogy that eventually followed under Disney, and how different Star Wars might look today if Lucas had stayed.
Then there's Blade.
Mahershala Ali is speaking very candidly about Marvel Studios' failure to get his Blade movie made. After spending years attached to the project, Ali agrees with Kevin Feige's own assessment that failing to make the movie was one of his biggest failures. What went wrong with Blade, and how did Marvel spend years developing a movie with a two-time Oscar winner without ever getting cameras rolling?
The biggest question today is what Matt Reeves is actually planning for The Batman Part II. Pattinson says the sequel takes a major left turn from the first film while still retaining elements of what made The Batman work.
Considering how secretive Reeves has been about the story — combined with Pattinson and Sebastian Stan's increasingly huge teases — could The Batman Part II become something completely different from what fans are expecting?
We're also discussing George Lucas' fascinating comments about leaving Star Wars, Mahershala Ali finally opening up about the collapse of Marvel Studios' Blade, the latest Nightwing casting report, and Brad Bird's Ray Gunn.

The Paramount and Warner Bros. merger may have just cleared one of its biggest remaining hurdles! Paramount and state attorneys general have reportedly reached a settlement that will allow the massive Warner Bros. merger to move forward. What happens next, and what could this mean for some of the biggest franchises in Hollywood?
On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the latest development in the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger, what the settlement means for the deal, and the enormous questions surrounding the future of Warner Bros., Paramount, HBO, DC Studios, and their respective movie and television franchises.
One of the biggest questions is obviously DC Studios. What happens to James Gunn and Peter Safran's DCU once the merger is finalized? Could Paramount's leadership change the current strategy, or will Gunn and Safran continue building their DC Universe as planned?
Meanwhile, Supergirl has found new life on streaming. The DC movie is reportedly the #1 movie on HBO Max, but Warner Bros. isn't revealing exactly how many people are watching. Does its streaming performance change the conversation surrounding the movie after its disappointing theatrical run?
If you're a fan of Warner Bros., Paramount, DC Studios, James Gunn, Resident Evil, Supergirl, Marvel Studios, Avengers: Secret Wars, Narnia, Daniel Craig, Alan Ritchson, Helldivers, or the latest Hollywood news, this episode is for you!
