Charna Flam James Gunn told Variety Thursday night that his upcoming DC Studios movie, “Superman: Legacy” hasn’t found its leading man just yet — but the production is considering “some really great choices.” On the red carpet for Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” MCU actors, Pom Klementieff and Will Poulter also teased whether or not they’d join the director for his upcoming DC movie. Gunn explained exactly what he is looking for his Clark Kent. “The next Superman has to be someone who has all the humanity that Superman has but he’s also an alien,” Gunn told Variety’s Marc Malkin. “It’s gotta be somebody who has the kindness and the compassion that Superman has and be somebody who you want to give a hug.” As for whether or not Gunn is recruiting “Guardians” star Chris Pratt for the role, he said. “It’s not Chris Pratt. If he was a few years younger, maybe.” The DC Studios co-head announced in December he was writing the upcoming feature, and in March he was then confirmed as the “Superman: Legacy” director. He recently revealed that “costumes, production design and more are now up and running.”James Gunn reveals what he's looking for in the next Superman at the premiere of #GuardiansoftheGalaxyVol3. https://t.co/G3QElsKbUh pic.twitter.com/GkWRmVy5Pq— Variety (@Variety) April 28, 2023
Killer who shot dead man and woman in brutal gangland-style double murder dies in prison
12.04.2023 - 09:43 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A killer behind a brutal double murder has died in prison. Raymond Whittaker was involved in a grim gangland-style killing in East Yorkshire where two people were killed in a house on a street in Bridlington only days before Christmas 1999.
Whittaker, who was 36 at the time, was later jailed for 23 years following a trial and was told he would never walk free again. Whittaker’s death was confirmed by a prison ombudsman report published this month. It also revealed that he had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS), a condition which can affect the brain and spinal cord, 16 years before his death, HullLive reports.
Whittaker's victims were both shot in the back of the head in a cold and calculated manner. Patricia Price was found dead in the upstairs bedroom of her home, while Ian Clark lay slumped downstairs in the living room.

Senior detectives at the time were appalled by the violence of the deaths in the quiet area of Stamford Walk in Bridlington on December 18, 1999. The pair were discovered by Ms Price's partner who returned home after a night out.
She called the police and paramedics, who found 44-year-old Ms Price in an upstairs bedroom and 35-year-old Mr Clark in the ground floor living room. A post-mortem examination revealed they had been shot in the head at point-blank range, possibly more than once.
Ms Price, who grew up in Bridlington, was known for her connections with drugs. Mr Clark, 35, was brought up in Wakefield and seemed to be less well known. It is understood he had been staying at Ms Price's home.
