Naomi Ackie's full comments from the magazine interview article:

>The DC film you have coming up is Clayface. On paper, it sounds like something really different because you’re working with director James Watkins and screenwriter Mike Flanagan, who both have horror backgrounds.

>"This is what I mean — the right things find you. My love will always be smaller films. I really love genre films, and I love acting in genre films. The fact that it’s the DC world with this indie influence and this genre-led influence feels like the world I belong to. This project was so much fun to make and the community there was incredible. It was the same kind of deal with [Robert Pattinson] on Mickey 17. Tom [Rhys Harries, who plays Clayface] went through a lot more than I did. The thing I love about genre work is that you know what the criteria is, and your job is to push it to its furthest limit. So this mash-up [between] a horror film and a comic book film is interesting. I think it’s really smart of DC, because it brings in horror lovers, comic book lovers. We’ll see what happens."

Cantwell's social media post came a few hours after Jeff Sneider's newsletter scoop regarding Lanterns, to which it included and claimed the following:

• He claimed Christopher Cantwell (Halt and Catch Fire) has joined the Lanterns creative team as a writer and executive producer and has begun writing Season 2.

• In addition, he claims Tom King (Mister Mircale) and Damon Lindelof (The Chain) will remain in the show as producers, but not as writers, as they'll be busy working on other projects while Chris Mundy will remain in the creative team as showrunner.

• He also claims while Lanterns Season 2 hasn't been greenlit yet, there seems to be confidence a second season will happen.

Lars Eidinger's full quote regarding Brainiac from the article:

>"...the theatrical quality has actually helped me enormously in the context of Superman, too, because it involves a different register of performance, one that isn’t primarily realistic and allows for a far more expressive style of playing. When I watch a film like James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy, I find it has a great theatrical quality — in the handling of good and evil, and in a certain tendency toward allegory. Brainiac is described as the incarnation of Satan. I find that almost Shakespearean. The king, the fool — there are so many parallels for me."
