Is Scoot McNairy Blue Beetle in "Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice"?

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Official Teaser Trailer #1 (2016) - Ben Affleck Movie HD

The list of heroes joining the DC Cinematic Universe seems to be growing rapidly as the months draw closer to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice premiering in theaters, which releases March 25, 2016 (USA). Aside from the dark knight and the man of steel taking over the big screen, we have known about Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) and Aquaman (Jason Mamoa) being set to appear in the film, alongside rumors of Flash, Cyborg and Green Lantern as well (however brief the cameos may be). But now it seems like we may have one more name to add to that list - be it Ted Kord or Jaime Reyes. Yes, you heard correct, the Blue Beetle may very well be coming to the big screen alongside our favorite heroes for the battle of the century.

Scoot McNairy has been spotted on the set of Batman vs Superman, and his attire isn"t actually blue - it"s green. Sporting green socks might seem strange for a hero like the blue beetle, but it may be one of our key clues as to who Scoot is playing; Ted Korg. These green socks may not be in the movie at all - but more over, may be used to film Ted losing his legs. Fans of the beetle know that Ted Kord loses his legs before becoming the beetle, so this theory makes a lot of sense. But there"s more.

Director Zack Snyder has dropped several hints that he wants to explore new super heroes outside of his usual depths, and what better way to do that then to introduce one whose only appearance outside of the comics and animated movies was on Smallville. He"s even cited the Blue Beetle by name before during an interview.

As we add to the Justice League, we bring in some of the more obscure characters, like Blue Beetle or something.

Still not convinced? Let"s continue.

Taking a look into the past, Arrow season 3 was supposed to cast Brandon Routh as Ted Kord/Blue Beetle. But we ended up with him as The A.T.O.M. Ever wonder why the sudden change happened? Well, it turns out that the show runners were forced to abandon the Ted Kord dream as the character was already planned to be used in the cinematic universe DC is building. Coincidence? I think not. But let"s go even further.

Now what would a character like Blue Beetle have to contribute to this plot that he had to be included in the film? Well, for starters, it opens the door to a whole future of possibilities (literally). See, Blue Beetle and Booster Gold have a very close and complex story-line in the DC universe. Time travel is actually all there is, but you don"t get much more complex than that. And what better way to leave the door open to correct any short-comings the movie may have then to have characters available who can literally rewrite history. Even if that"s not the case, they now have a viable opening for a future Booster Gold to come in, along with many other heroes and villains from the comics.

Scoot McNairy caught on set of "Batman V Superman"

While nothing is confirmed, these leaked set photos of Scoot McNairy coupled with Snyder"s comments have led me to believe that the character we"ll be seeing is none other than the Blue Beetle. Whether it be Ted Kord or Jaime Reyes, the Beetle is currently the best candidate we have to explain the discrepancy. "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" premiers across the USA March 25, 2016.

This Leaked "Deadpool" Trailer Might Be The Highlight Of Comic Con

EXCLUSIVE! Deadpool Comic Con trailer!
This will henceforth be known as the year when the hype for material leaked from Comic Con vastly exceeded the excitement for anything that was actually, legitimately released to the public.

If that wasn"t enough to quench your thirst for comic book violence, then you"ll be thrilled to know that the Deadpool trailer has also leaked, in similarly fuzzy form, and the internet"s losing its d**n mind.

Ryan Reynolds stars as ex-special forces agent Wade Wilson, who develops healing powers after being subjected to a nasty experiment, and the film looks to have all the bloodshed and twisted humour you"d expect:

If you"ve well and truly given up on the idea of getting any work done this fine Monday, then you can watch the raucous Deadpool Comic Con panel, in which Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, T.J. Miller and the other stars introduce their characters.

In related news, Gambit and Deadpool hung out at Comic Con, and this photo is not a thing that can be dealt with in any way:

FormerOakland Raidersquarterback Ken Stabler died due to complications from colon cancer on Wednesday,his family announced on Thursday.He was 69 years old.

After hearing the news, many prominent football figures expressed their condolences and passed along memories of Stabler. Those people included current Alabama head football coach Nick Saban.

Before his 15-year career in the NFL, Stabler went 28-3-2 as Bear Bryant"s starting quarterback and in 1967 scored the game-winning touchdown for the Crimson Tide vs. Auburn in the Iron Bowl, a play known around Tuscaloosa as the "Run in the Mud."

"I think anyone who had the chance to get to know Kenny would appreciate the great person he was and the pride he had for The University of Alabama," Saban said.

"I have had the chance to be around some of the best to ever play college and pro football, and Kenny may have been one of the greatest competitors to ever play the game.

"I was lucky enough to work with him on our radio broadcast my first year in Tuscaloosa and also have some special memories with him at a couple of our golf events.

"He was not only an outstanding football player, he was an all-around great guy and someone I really enjoyed spending time with. We lost a legend today and our thoughts and prayers go out to his family."

A second-round pick of the Raiders out of "Bama in 1968, Stabler played his first of 10 seasons with Oakland in 1970, then spent two with the Houston Oilers and three with the New Orleans Saints.

Stabler quietly battled Stage 4 colon cancer since being diagnosed in February 2015. His brain and spinal cord were donated to Boston University"s Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Center to support research for degenerative brain disease in athletes.

New York Giants" Jason Pierre-Paul reportedly has finger amputated; will he ...

ESPN Sport Science - Jason Pierre-Paul and SMARTSPEED

New York Giants star defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul reportedly had his right index finger amputated following a July 4 fireworks incident, but it remains unclear if and when he can return to the field.

ESPN"s Adam Schefter reported the news late Wednesday, tweeting out Pierre-Paul"s medical chart as proof. Schefter also reported that Pierre-Paul plans to play in 2015.

Pierre-Paul, 26, remains hospitalized in south Florida. He also suffered fractures to his right thumb, which could take up to six weeks to heal. The Giants open training camp on July 30.

Schefter posting Pierre-Paul"s medical information on Twitter briefly caused a firestorm on social media, with several people including Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison questioning Schefter"s ethics and arguing he had violated federal medical privacy laws by doing so. However, the 1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act commonly known as HIPAA applies only to medical professionals, not journalists, as Forbes notes.

The New York Daily News reported Thursday that Pierre-Paul"s chart might have been leaked to Schefter by someone in the player"s inner circle. Giants officials reportedly traveled to south Florida on Wednesday with plans to meet with Pierre-Paul, but apparently never did so.

Pierre-Paul is considered one of the top pass-rushers in the NFL, having totaled 12.5 sacks and having earned his second Pro Bowl bid in 2014. He was designated the Giants" "franchise player" for 2015, but has not yet signed his one-year, $14.5 million contract for this season.

The Daily News also reported that Pierre-Paul being placed on the NFL"s "non-football injury" list to start the 2015 season is a "certainty" should he sign his contract. If so, he would be sidelined until after Week 6.

Neither the Giants nor Pierre-Paul"s camp has made any public comment regarding his health or playing status since the fireworks incident.

Rosie Perez Reveals The Dirty Secret Within The Latin Community;Raven Symone Defends Racist Comments

Less than a year after joining the The View, Rosie Perez has decided to step down as one of the programs co-hosts to focus on acting.

News that Perez, 50, would be departing the show broke Tuesday after Bill Wolff, the shows executive producer, told his staff the actress has decided to leave the show at the conclusion of this season to pursue full time her love for acting.

On Wednesday, Perez addressed the news after tearfully entering the studio for the last time as The Flamingos Lovers Never Say Goodbye played.

The audience gave Perez a standing ovation and co-host Raven-Symon ran to the wings of the set to grab a box of tissues, moderator Whoopi Goldberg told Perez: This is yours to do, so you go on ahead and do it.

Well, you guys all heard it: Ive decided that its time to move on, she said. And I will say that today is very bittersweet for me.

She continued, Im excited for what is to come, but I am so sad to leave especially these two ladies, Goldberg and Nicolle Wallace.

Perez turned to Wallace, 43, who was also crying, and said, I want to thank you for your friendship, Nicolle, and your intelligence and your wit and your sunshine.

Causing even stoic Goldberg, 59, to break down, she continued, I want to thank for everything your guidance, your professionalism and most of all your friendship. Its a dream sitting here with you, and you are truly the captain of the ship.

After thanking producers and staffers, she acknowledged that this job has been such a great opportunity to be part of such an iconic show that has opened me up to a broader audience, and I will be forever grateful for that.

But the ones that I want to thank the most are the fans, she said to cheers from the in-studio audience. It warms my heart. It really does. Every time one of you guys come up to me and say, I love you on The View, it just makes my day.

A comedian at heart, Perez lightened the mood in her thank-you to the Latin community: Its a huge honor to be the first Latina on The View. What the h**l took you so long?

After a peel of laughter from everyone, she said, Your support as a community has really helped me through this year, and I will never forget what youve done for me.

Promising to continue her work for her community and women, as well as her activism for HIV/AIDS, Perez took a deep breath: Just know that I do not have one regret coming to this show. I would do it all over again. And its all because of you, the fans. And please know I will continue being a friend of this show.

With the audience chanting Rosie! Rosie! she added that shell be working with ESPN as a boxing commentator and said with a few final tears, Gracias, mi gente, por todo. Por todo, mi gente.

Once Perez takes her final bow in August, guest co-host Michelle Collins is expected to join the show as an official co-host, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
