DC TV Series Viola Davis in talks to star in Amanda Waller series (HBO Max)

[Sawyer]

Could be just because he’s tagged in it, but interesting to find this in Gunn’s likes…

I feel like we can certainly expect this to gloss right over that Black Adam/Shazam business, but I’m curious to know how much this will feel like a reboot of all the Waller-related material we’ve gotten so far or if it really will fully act as a follow-up for TSS/Peacemaker.

 

[Sawyer]

Wrote for both versions of Justified and a couple episodes of Mad Men.

This dude, Henry and Carver are such a wild mixture of creatives that is super intriguing. Need more news asap. Hope Danielle Brooks is on deck too.

 

[Sawyer]

Neither are particularly surprising, but I’m just glad to hear movement is happening.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Im surprised Viola even signed onto this. Amanda 'The Wall' Waller hasnt been The Wall anything yet in any of her showings. Hopefully this changes that.

 

[SwordOfMorning]

I like that she sucks in The Suicide Squad. It's maybe my favourite iteration of the character because it's such a wonderful subversion of silly chessmaster bull****.

I'm of the thought that this was probably originally pitched as part of the Old DCEU, but I hope that the show puts Amanda into a new legitimate position of power, that in turn puts her back into stories involving more heroes, and villains
