Marvel actor and all-around badass Frank Grillo is trading his crossbones for stars and stripes after joining the cast of Peacemaker Season 2 for DC. Grillo is lacing up his boots to play Rick Flag Sr. for the sophomore season of James Gunn’s superhero series, starring John Cena as Christopher “Chris” Smith, aka Peacemaker. Rick Flag Sr. is the father of Rick Flag Jr., played by Joel Kinnaman in David Ayer’s Suicide Squad and Gunn’s The Suicide Squad. Cena’s Peacemaker killed Rick Flag Jr. in The Suicide Squad, leading me to think it’s time for revenge.
Before Grillo’s Rick Flag Sr. appears in Peacemaker Season 2, he’ll debut in animated form in the upcoming Max series Creature Commandos. The monster-centric animated series revolves around a black ops team working for Viola Davis’s Amanda Waller.

Blood is everything to the Bain family, said Kieran Quinn in the Shetland series eight finale, and how right he turned out to be. Shetland fans had been prompted to consider whether or not Kieran was Ellen’s father as far back as episode three, when Di Ruth Calder first suspected her own dad of having had an affair with Stella Bain that resulted in Ellen’s birth, but the truth turned out to be all about Bain family blood.
Let’s break down the revelations and twists of the finale, along with any other questions left dangling about the life and death of Ellen Quinn, and the events of series eight.
Who Killed Ellen Quinn?

If you grew up in the 90s, there’s a fair chance that Mighty Morphin Power Rangers served as prominent figures in your childhood. Saban Entertainment’s superhero story soon spawned an entire entertainment franchise, and the IP still resonates with people today thanks to merchandise and the like. And while Lionsgate has picked up the Rangers’ film rights ahead of a 2016 release, acclaimed filmmaker Joseph Kahn today unveiled a gritty, R-rated interpretation of the source material.
With stunning special effects, Tarantino-like fight sequences and a wonderful attention to detail, Kahn’s rendition of the Power Rangers is something to behold. Heck, it even features a cameo from Rita Repulsa. You can check out the edited version of the footage in question above, or the Nsfw copy through the director’s Vimeo page.
