DC’s ‘Wonder Twins’: Isabel May Comments on Canceled HBO Movie

On May 18, 2022, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav canceled the film Wonder Twins about a month before production was scheduled to begin. Actress May recently discussed her involvement with the canceled DC project in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. She stated, “Most projects don’t work out, and you need to be able to accept that. You have to be resilient, move on, and focus on what’s next.” May also explained that while she wasn’t very familiar with DC Comics, she was drawn to the film’s overall idea and decided to take the role.

Max Minghella Had to Mask His Insecurities to Play Industry’s Tom Ripley

Last Sunday’s episode, the second-to-last of the season, showed Whitney desperately trying – and failing – to find a way out of his situation. He attempted to escape, but his colleagues threatened him. His plan to buy another company to mislead investigators also fell through, even though he gave a passionate speech trying to convince everyone it would work. Meanwhile, his business partner, Henry Muck (played by Kit Harrington), despises him, and Henry’s wife, Yasmin (Marissa Abela), is secretly working to destroy the company from within. Actor Max Minghella, known for his roles in The Handmaid’s Tale and The Social Network, portrays Whitney as completely stunned – he can’t accept that his good fortune has ended, because he’d never considered it luck in the first place. Minghella enjoyed playing Whitney at his lowest point, finding it surprisingly relatable. “I’m much closer to that vulnerable side of Whitney as a person,” he explains, “and it was easy for me to tap into those feelings.”
