Australian model and actress Ruby Rose will play Batwoman in The CW's Arrowverse crossover event.

The casting news for the December television stunt was announced Tuesday on the Arrow Twitter feed.

The Hollywood Reporter said writer-producer Greg Berlanti -- who shepherds all of the network's DC Comics shows -- is also working on a series that would focus on the lesbian superheroine.

Rose, 32, is best known for her work on Netflix's Orange is the New Black. She will be seen starting Friday in the deep-sea adventure film The Meg. The CW's DC lineup includes Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow and Black Lightning.


Jackson, Smulders cast in 'Spider-Man: Far From Home'
Samuel L. Jackson and Cobie Smulders will reprise their Marvel cinematic roles as Nick Fury and Maria Hill in upcoming sequel Spider-Man: Far From Home.

Jackson and Smulders are joining the project that will once again feature Tom Holland as Spider-Man as he takes on villain Mysterio, set to be portrayed by Jake Gyllenhaal.

Far From Home, the sequel to 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming, will take place partly in Europe where production is underway. Marisa Tomei, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon and director Jon Watts are also set to return.

Jackson and Smulders have starred throughout the Marvel cinematic universe as S.H.I.E.L.D. members Fury and Hill. The pair were last seen during the end credits scene of May's Avengers: Infinity War, where Thanos turned both characters to dust.

Jackson will also be reprising his role as Fury in Captain Marvel, a film set in the 1990s that stars Brie Larson in the title role.

Captain Marvel will be released first, arriving in theaters on March 8, 2019, followed by the untitled fourth Avengers film in April and then Spider-Man: Far From Home on July 5.

Which Chris Pratt movie has been pulled from Universal's release schedule?


'House of Cards' to return with final season in November
Netflix has announced that the sixth and final season of House of Cards featuring Robin Wright in the lead role will debut on Nov. 2.

The streaming service made the announcement Tuesday on Twitter alongside a poster for the new season featuring Wright as President Claire Underwood sitting in the seat of the Lincoln Memorial with a bloody hand.

The image was used previously when Kevin Spacey appeared on the political drama as Frank Underwood. Spacey will not be featured in Season 6 as he was written out of the show after facing a number of sexual misconduct allegations.

Spacey's character was last seen at the end of Season 5 resigning as president, placing Claire in charge.

Season 6 will run for eight episodes. Michael Kelly, Jayne Atkinson, Patricia Clarkson, Constance Zimmer, Derek Cecil, Campbell Scott and Boris McGiver are set to star along with newcomers Diane Lane, Greg Kinnear and Cody Fern.

Wright, in July, talked for the first time about her experience working with Spacey, noting that she was surprised and saddened to hear about the sexual misconduct allegations.

"We never socialized outside of work," the actress said. "Kevin and I knew each other between 'action' and 'cut,' and in between setups where we would giggle. I didn't know the man."


'City of Lies' with Johnny Depp pulled from release
City of Lies starring Johnny Depp that explores the police investigation into the deaths of rappers Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur, has been pulled from release schedules a month before it was set to arrive in theaters.

The film, based on the book LAbyrinth, was set to arrive in theaters on Sept. 7 to coincide with what would have been the the 46th birthday of Notorious B.I.G.

Depp stars as a detective investigating the murders who is joined by Forest Whitaker as a journalist. Brad Furman directed the project.

Distributor Global Road has yet to announce a new release date for City of Lies or comment on the film's future.

The pulling of City of Lies comes after Depp was sued by a location manager involved in the production who said the actor punched him.

Which Chris Pratt movie has been pulled from Universal's release schedule?

Cowboy Ninja Viking starring Chris Pratt and Priyanka Chopra has been delayed indefinitely by Universal, which pulled the project from its release calendar.

The action film from director Michelle MacLaren (Game of Thrones) is based on the Image Comics graphic novel of the same name by A.J. Lieberman and artist Riley Rossmo. It was originally set for release on June 28, 2019.

Universal has not canceled the film and is keeping Cowboy Ninja Viking in active development with Pratt, Chopra and MacLaren still attached. Pratt is producing with Dan Mazeau and Ryan Engle, having written the most recent draft of the script.

Citing unnamed sources, Variety reported the delay was to avoid rushing production.

The graphic novel follows an assassin who is given the fighting ability and personalities of a cowboy, a ninja and a viking.
