Superhero Bits: New Thor: Love And Thunder Photo, A Power Rangers 30th Anniversary Special & More

(Superhero Bits is a collection of stories, updates, and videos about anything and everything inspired by the comics of Marvel, DC, and more. For comic book movies, TV shows, merchandise, events, and whatever catches our eye, this is the place to find anything that falls through the cracks.)

In this edition of Superhero Bits:

• A new "Thor: Love and Thunder" photo reveals a ripped Natalie Portman.

• Black Bolt actor breaks silence on "Multiverse of Madness."

• A "Power Rangers" reunion is seemingly on the way.

• Captain Carter may be getting a solo project.

• All that and more!

Given that the Arrowverse (if not The CW as it currently exists entirely) seems to be winding down, "Crisis On Infinite Earths" may well go down as the final, major crossover event for these various shows. It turns out that the massive crossover could have seen Brenton Thwaites, of "Titans" fame, bring his version of Nightwing to the Arrowverse. However, in a new interview with Cosmic Circus, the actor explains why he turned the offer down.

"It's a different deal thing, right? If you crossover to a different show, they treat it like a different job, and you know you gotta fly to that place, although the studio and whoever's in charge will make it work, I feel like... you know, you get a choice, right? You get a choice to read the script, to study the project and, you know, to be a part of what you want to be a part of; and it was just not something that I wanted to do at the time. I mean, whether I believed that it should cross over or not, it's not really beside the point, I just think that Titans is such a unique show, the way it looks, the way it feels, the characters, and I kind of... I don't know, I selfishly want to preserve, you know, the uniqueness of that."

So there we have it, DC fans. "Titans" is going to stay "Titans," so long as Thwaites has his way.

We got word earlier today that Marvel's "Echo" show, which will see Alaqua Cox reprising her role from "Hawkeye," is officially in production. Well, along with that news came the first plot details from the show in the form of a brief plot synopsis. So, what can we expect next year on Disney+? The logline reads as follows:

Streaming exclusively on Disney+ in 2023, the origin story of Echo revisits Maya Lopez, whose ruthless behavior in New York City catches up with her in her hometown. She must face her past, reconnect with her Native American roots and embrace the meaning of family and community if she ever hopes to move forward.

That is a bit vague but it's clear this will be picking up in the aftermath of "Hawkeye." As for who else might show up and get in on the action? We shall see next year.

DC's "Black Adam" movie is finally coming later this year and, as we learned recently, reshoots are currently underway. Perhaps not coincidentally, Pierce Brosnan has shared a new behind-the-scenes look at his character Dr. Fate, who will be appearing as a member of the Justice Society in the film. Does this mean Brosnan is partaking in these reshoots? It doesn't really matter either way because we all win when Brosnan is having fun with his work, and the man is going to be a mystical superhero in a cape this time around. What's not to love?

Let it never be said that David F. Sandberg doesn't have a sense of humor. The director behind "Shazam!" and the upcoming sequel, "Shazam! Fury of the Gods" has revealed a couple of real stories from the set that occurred during filming. The filmmaker has decided not only to share these stories but to animate them like a comic strip and share them on Instagram. The first one (above) has to do with Helen Mirren, who joins the cast for the sequel. The second, which you can check out by clicking here, involves a cat. Both are well worth your time.
