What would a super hero be without the super villains he has to fight on a daily basis? And the more dangerous they are, the better! Batman can boast of having truly fearsome enemies and not just because they have terrible superpowers: indeed, Batman’s nemeses are best known for their dark and extremely complex mentality.

Often when we talk about enemies of Batman, we immediately think of the Joker, Catwoman or even the Penguin. But there are plenty more! Thus in “The Batman” by Matt Reeves, it is the Sphinx who is honored. Much like the Joker, this villain has no superpowers but is just as twisted and deranged, if not more so. Matt Reeves said thathe was inspired by the Zodiac Killer to give the character even more depth.

Matt Reeves confides

It was during a conversation with MovieMaker that Matt Reeves confided in the Sphinx. The director said that “The Batman” version of the character is greatly inspired by the Zodiac Killer, a serial killer who raged in the 70s in California (United States). The latter was never caught, despite years of tracking and investigation, while he regularly sent letters to the press to brag about his murders.

The story of the Zodiac Killer has inspired many books, films and documentaries and now “The Batman”. Matt Reeves explained that he more or less modeled his Sphinx on the Zodiac Slayer. “He kills very important people in Gotham, and they are the pillars of society. Following the murders, it reveals the ways these people weren’t all they said they were, and you start to realize there’s some sort of association. And so you have Gordon and Batman trying to follow the clues to try to make sense of this thing.”

Who is the Sphinx?

Real name Edward Nashton or Edward Nigma, the Sphinx is one of Batman’s most formidable enemies. Preferring mind games to physical confrontations, he always attacks the Dark Knight in a sneaky way. With him, real intellectual arm wrestling awaits the hero. Especially since generally, it is the solution of the enigma that will allow him to thwart the set traps or even save people. We can’t wait to find out what he has in store for Batman in Matt Reeves’ film. See you on March 4 at the cinema!

Two years after the start of the pandemic, the cinema industry continues to suffer from its consequences. To limit the spread of the virus, most production studios had to change their plans. Some have been forced to push back the release date of their films. Others had to suspend their filming.

Today, with the Omicron variant, the situation does not seem to have changed much. As proof, a few days ago, we learned that the filming of Black Panther 2 has been postponed. Marvel had to make this decision following the disturbing progress of the Omicron variant in Atlanta. Unfortunately, that’s where part of Black Panther 2.

This is not the first time that the filming of this second part entitled Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has been suspended.

A real black series

Decidedly, the fate persists on Black Panther 2. Indeed, in the middle of the year 2020, the filming of the film had already been suspended after the death of Chadwick Boseman. The actor was known for portraying the role of King T’Challa. He died of colon cancer.

The filming of Black Panther 2 was then suspended while director Ryan Coogler decides on the future of the film. After filming resumed, actress Letitia Wright suffered numerous injuries. Now, it is because of the Covid-19 that the filming is postponed. It is said that several members of the film crew have been infected with the virus. Among them is actress Lupita Nyong’o.

Letitia Wright headlining

MCU fans have been left wondering about Black Panther’s future following the passing of Chadwick Boseman. Today, we know that the second installment will return with Letitia Wright as headliner. The latter embodies Shuri, the little sister of King T’Challa.

At this time, it is unclear if Shuri will take over her brother’s costume. Alongside Letitia Wright, we will see Danai Gurira again in the role of Okoye. We can also find Lupita Nyong’o in the skin of Nakia and Angela Bassett in that of Ramonda.

For the time being, we do not know when the filming of Black Panther 2 will be able to resume. Marvel’s plans, however, remain unchanged. Indeed, the release date of the film is still set for November 11, 2022.
