ARROW, FLASH, SUPERGIRL AND LEGENDS OF TOMORROW ARE BACK, BRAVER AND BOLDER THAN EVER. JOSEPH MCCABE STANDS WITH DC’S FINEST
The DC TV UniVerse is growing Up. After launching four shows in the last five years, executive producers Marc Guggenheim, who oversees Arrow and Legends Of Tomorrow, and Andrew Kreisberg, responsible for Supergirl and Legends Of Tomorrow, tell SFX that their fan-favourite heroes – and the shows in which they star – are entering a new, more mature phase.
In the case of Arrow, Oliver Queen has come to realise that the best way to lead a team is by trusting his teammates – though with most of them caught in a deadly blast at the end of last season’s finale, just how much of Team Arrow remains? For now, Guggenheim is keeping the answer under his hat. But he tells SFX of the new threats facing star City, wearing faces familiar to most genre TV fans…
“We’ve got [Lost’s] Michael Emerson coming aboard as a yet-to-be-named villain. Michael’s wonderful. He’s incredibly talented, he’s a lovely man, and he really is kind of a perfect fit for Arrow. His nature fits very, very well in this world. He’s a wonderful addition to the cast. And Kirk Acevedo, who plays Ricardo Diaz, our version of the Richard Dragon character in the comics, is wonderful. He’s really a force, and again a terrific actor, a terrific guy.
“It’s difficult to talk about season six without talking about who lives and who dies,” explains Guggenheim. “But I will say, because we’ve already said that Katie Cassidy’s character survives the explosions on the island, that she’s back as Black siren, and she’s absolutely terrific playing the darker version of Laurel. We also have Manu Bennett returning to reprise his role as Slade Wilson.”

Making Alien - Jaws in Space - Forty-five years on from its original release, Alien continues to terrify. We dissect what arguably remains the most chilling instalment in the saga
The seven-strong crew of the commercial mining spacecraft the Nostromo seal their fate after reluctantly responding to a mysterious distress signal on a hostile planet. Here, a face-hugging alien from a derelict ship impregnates and later kills executive officer Kane (John Hurt) after its offspring is birthed onboard. After being unleashed, the fearsome newborn with acid for blood proceeds to dispatch the remainder of the crew.Ridley Scott's much more convoluted prequels have yet to reveal how the knowledge that led to this initial interception was acquired. However, the premise of the original Alien is perfect in its uncomplicated purity.
