Melissa Benoist Led 'Supergirl' To End With Season Six Next Year

The CW announced on Tuesday that the "Supergirl" series will conclude with its upcoming sixth season which is slated to begin later this month in Vancouver, will consist of 20 episodes and premiere in 2021. ## "To say it has been an honor portraying this iconic character would be a massive understatement. Seeing the incredible impact the show has had on young girls around the world has always left me humbled and speechless", Melissa Benoist wrote on Instagram. ## "She's had that impact on me, too. She's taught me strength I didn't know I had, to find hope in the darkest of places, and that we are stronger when we're united. What she stands for pushes all of us to be better. She has changed my life for the better, and I'm forever grateful", she added. ## The last season of Supergirl will arrive whenever midseason 2021 is for the CW network. This move was designed to allow production to resume after leading lady Benoist returned from maternity leave.## "I'm so excited that we get to plan our conclusion to this amazing journey, and I cannot wait for you to see what we have in store. I promise we're going to make it one helluva final season. ♥️ el mayarah", Benoist further wrote on Instagram. ## The series, which was originally developed and aired its first season on CBS, was the second spinoff to originate from DC Comics drama Arrow, following The Flash. While former CBS entertainment president Nina Tassler ordered the drama as part of a push to bring women to the network, the low-rated and expensive drama ultimately was moved to The CW. ## "Supergirl" is based on characters from DC Comics created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.## Stay tuned...

Avatar 2 To Delay Indefinitely, Confirms James Cameron

It was recently when the cast and crew of the highly anticipated movie Avatar 2 headed New Zealand to resume shoot and the movie was all set to bring the action on December 2021. But, such has been the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic which has not only resulted in movies that were about to come out being delayed but movies ways into the future needing to be pushed back too and Avatar 2 is one of them. ## Responding to the delay, James Cameron, the director of Avatar, today (July 24) confirmed that bringing the movie on December next year will no longer be possible as the coronavirus pandemic has prevented him and his team from recommencing most of the visual production work on stages in Los Angeles, which he described as being "just as critical" to the Avatar movies as the live-action work. ## He continued in a statement shared on Twitter, "Prior to the COVID-19, everything was on track to bring you the first sequel in December of 2021. Unfortunately, due to the impact that the pandemic has had on our schedule, it is no longer possible for us to make that date.## There is no one more disappointed about this delay than me. But I am buoyed by the incredible performances of our cast and the extraordinary work that Weta Digital is doing bringing the world of Pandora and the characters of the film to life". ## The director also added in his statement that he is "thankful for the support" he is receiving from Disney Studios as well as to the fans for their love and support over the years. While the wait for the sequel has now one more year longer, the filmmaker promises to deliver the end result. ## Read the full statement -## A message from James Cameron.Irayo, Na'vi Nation. Stay safe. 💙 pic.twitter.com/Uwi2J6xF4k— Avatar (@officialavatar) July 23, 2020 ## Now, with Avatar to has been pushed back to 16 December 2022, the next three sequels of the movie have also been delayed. Avatar 3 will now release on 20 December 2024 followed by Avatar 4 on 18 December 2026, and Avatar 5 on 22 December 2028. If these dates stick, it will be quite crazy that the film franchise will be completed in nearly 20 years from its first release which was in 2009 that took the world by storm. ## Stay tuned...
