'Smallville,’ ‘Saved by the Bell’ Stars Plus Levi Next Celebrity Wave at FAN EXPO Philadelphia

If fans thought that FAN EXPO Philadelphia was bringing the best celebrity lineup ever to the City of Brotherly Love, just wait until they see today's wave of guests announced for the event, set for June 2-4 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Eight headliners from popular shows and films keep the list growing, as Tom Welling, Kristen Kreuk and Michael Rosenbaum (“Smallville”); Mark-Paul Gosselar and Mario Lopez (“Saved the Bell”); Giancarlo Esposito (“Mandalorian”); Zachary Levi (Shazam!); and Hayden Christensen (Star Wars franchise) join a roster already brimming with standouts from across the pop culture world.

Welling is probably best known for his role as “Clark Kent” in "Smallville.” He has also played “Lt. Marcus Pierce / Cain” in “Lucifer” and “’Karate Rob’ Meltzer” in “Judging Amy” and has had roles in the films Cheaper by the Dozen, The Fog, Draft Day and The Choice.

Kreuk appeared on "Smallville" as Clark's original love interest, “Lana Lang” and was also featured as “Catherine Chandler” in The CW sci-fi series "Beauty & the Beast" and as “Joanna Hanley” in the CBC legal drama series "Burden of Truth."

Rosenbaum starred in the role of “Lex Luthor” on "Smallville" and most recently as the character “Buddy Dobbs” on the TV Land series "Impastor." He is also known for voicing “Wally West / The Flash” on the popular animated series "Justice League" and "Justice League Unlimited."

Gosselar first gained acclaim for his role as “Zack Morris” on the teen comedy “Saved by the Bell,” before longtime roles in “NYPD Blue,” “Raising the Bar” and “Franklin & Bash.” He was also the co-lead in the baseball-themed series “Pitch” and recently had a two-season run as the father “Paul Johnson” in the ABC series “Mixed-ish.”

Lopez also got his start on “Saved by the Bell,” then had long runs on the beach police drama “Pacific Blue” and the soap opera “The Bold and the Beautiful.” He is known to a whole new audience as the host of the syndicated newsmagazines “Access Hollywood” and “Extra.”

The prolific veteran film, television and stage actor, director and producer Esposito, in addition to his role as “Moff Gideon” on the Disney+ series “The Mandalorian,” is well known by television audiences for his iconic portrayal of drug kingpin “Gus Fring” in AMC’s critically acclaimed award-winning series “Breaking Bad.”

Levi took a superhero turn in the title role of 2019’s Shazam! among a busy resume that features more than 70 roles in such popular series as “Chuck,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” and “Less than Perfect.” He lent his voice talents to the full run of “Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure” and has more than a dozen other voice credits supplementing his body of work.

Christensen starred as “Anakin Skywalker” in the Star Wars prequels Episode II - Attack of the Clones in 2002 and Episode III - Revenge of the Sith in 2005. He’s had lead roles in the films Jumper and Shattered Glass and has appeared in more than 30 other series and movies.

The eight blend nicely into a slate which includes icon Michael J Fox, his Back to the Future costars Christopher Lloyd and Tom Wilson; Henry Winkler (“Happy Days,” “Barry”); Christina Ricci (“The Addams Family,” “Wednesday”); Sam Raimi (The Evil Dead, Spider-Man); “Arrow” stars Stephen Amell and Emily Bett Rickards; “Punisher” standout Jon Bernthal; “Daredevil” headliners Vincent D’Onofrio and Charlie Cox; “Stranger Things” breakouts Joseph Quinn and Grace Van Dien; Sean Astin (The Lord of the Rings, Rudy); Peter Weller (Robocop, Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension); Katee Sackhoff (“The Mandalorian,” “Battlestar Galactica); and Bonnie Wright (Harry Potter).

Lucifer sighed, glad that Chloe had managed to calm his eager brother down. Last thing he needed was Pierce to take more notice of him than he already had.

"Lt. Marcus Pierce, our superior," Lucifer whispered back, as the muscled man made his way up the drive towards them. "But you and I know him better as Cain, the world's first murderer."

"Hey Bro" Gabriel says leaning against the bar as he watches this universe Lucifer carefully. He was hoping this version of his brother wasn't a total dick, but after 10 universes he wasn't going to hold his breath.

@trickster-witha-kelbasa

Looking up from his whiskey tumbler, Lucifer regarded the other man slowly, eyes narrowing slightly in focus. The casual greeting could've been just that, a form of familiarity that most humans use nowadays. Yet for some reason, Lucifer didn't think that was why this man had said it. He had said it for an entirely different purpose. "Right, which one are you? I mean, it's been a while since I was in the Silver City, but I think I would remember one of my brothers having such a snark-filled face."

Monday's are about to become much more sinful 😈

BUT THEN SHIT HAPPENED AND I CAN’T LOOK AT THEM WITHOUT GETTING MILDLY IRRITATED! 

Like, they still look so great together but...some things just cannot be forgiven.

[adventuresinawonderland]

-next wks promo alludes to someone working with the Sinnerman; Dad: I don't like that new Lt guy. Me: 😂😂😂 Dad: What?! He's shady. Me: I love you... & I agree. Dad: Good; glad we're on the same page. Sorry not sorry Marcus we ain’t falling for it. 

[allmyshipsaresinking]

Surely I’m not the only one sensing some chemistry between Lt. Pierce and Lucifer??

Hello Bad Guys: Top tier Lucifer ‘villains’ s.1-4

August 5, 2020

One of Lucifer’s main weaknesses as a show is the episodic “cop procedural” not giving us a very long time to stew with the antagonists and really appreciate their villainy enough whether we love to hate them outright, or we really torn by their evil doing because the characters are layered. That being said, there are a few rare exceptions that add just the right amount of darkness to balance the devilish shenanigans of the show, to give depth to the stakes. I very much hope that we get more antagonist complexity in season 5. Villains are interesting in comic narratives and should be treated with care.

Lucifer: Tom Ellis delivers a masterful performance whether he’s being Saint Lucifer, or going on a truly vengeful bender. Although Lucifer is the central protagonist, when the show explores Lucifer at his darkest or most desperate, we get to see him at his most antagonistic. Two of the most recent examples are his against the Tiernan family in “Devil is as Devil does” when he breaks McCaffrey’s back and against his own brother Amenadiel when he lashes out at him trying to start fights. His one monologue against Amenadiel where he compares him to a masochist soul in hell - his “pointless existence...reminds me of you”- is still one of the most painful parts of the show to watch, like powerlessly watching a car wreck. That’s one of the reasons I am looking forward to him portraying Michael in s5, because not only will we get to see Mike brewing and developing hopefully long term over the whole season to get to know him, but Tom is so gifted at those chaotic nuances.

Malcolm played by Kevin Rankin: Celestials and supernaturals haven’t been the biggest baddies on Lucifer, which is good. I think Malcolm is so great as an antagonist because his character is 100% human, a corrupt cop (making Chloe vigilant about more corruption in the department), which grounds the show in reality despite other fantastical elements and shows how the scariest evil isn’t cosmic as much as the depth of depravity when people are consumed by greed. And when he comes back to life hell hungry / crazy as a fox, it’s legitimately scary because he’s unpredictable.

Maze played by Leslie Ann-Brandt: Again, although she is technically a protagonist, when Mazikeen is hellbent she is ferocious. Case and point when she teams up with Marcus, tortures Lucifer, and hurts Trixie. It’s hard to watch her spiral, but she does it spectacularly.

the decoy Sinnerman, Marcus’ associate played by Kevin Carroll. I believed he was menacing and committed to a life of crime, dude stabbed his own eye’s out with a  pencil. I wish I got that intensity from Cain.

Mum / the Goddess played by Tricia Helfer: this character illustrates well, even as a larger than life cosmic entity, that you don’t have too be malicious or overtly intimidating to be an entertaining bad guy, just have a very clear motivation of what you want, misguided intentions, and a ruthless kind of tenacity to let nothing and no one stand in your way.

Perry Smith the prison warden played by Alex Fernandez: great bio (again, corruption in the prison system is both insidious and relevant) just not a very long arc.

Jacob Tiernan played by Jere Burns: I just love Jere Burns and I think that every actor from Justified should make an appearance on the show. Can you imagine? In all seriousness though, that human trafficking plot was hella grim. I wish we could have had a few more multi-ep arcs like that. 

Oscar Rivas, the zealot from Los Xs played by Joseph Melendez: Jason Ning knows how write all the dark episodes! Season 4 “O, Ye of Little Faith ” sees Rivas go out by impaling himself on a stake. As far as murderous bad guy goes, literally nailed the dismount with insidious gore. The only disappointment was that this guy was a pawn of Father Kinley.

Honorable mention:

Nick Hoffman the paparazzo played be Jeremy Davies: I know he’s not a true villain as much as a painful antagonist from Chloe’s past, but I love his reckoning in her backstory. Did I mention how everyone on Justified should be on this show? Walton Goggins, pleeeasse be next.

Underwhelming baddies:

Amenadiel played by DB Woodside: before he became part of the Heavenly bros protagonists, I had really high hoping in season 1 that we would get more of Amenadiel as an enemy. We get great brotherly conflict from him to be sure, but apart from his first confrontation with Luci where he literally goes for the throat and the wing burning beach scene, there’s never a defining moment where we just get to hate him or say “Woah, that’s scary.” He’s just too charming to be worthy of that pilot line “I look forward to eating your heart one day” which was a stellar set up by the way. Which is why I love Amenadiel as a character, not as a baddie.  

Uriel played by Michael Imperioli: I love Uriel, his power, his cleverness. I don’t think he was ever meant to be a conventional a bad guy. That’s not my disappointment. The underwhelming piece was that he was a 2-part setpiece for Lucifer’s character development (once in the flesh, once in the hellscape) rather than fully formed character

Father Kinley / Dromos the demon played by Graham McTavish: same problem I have with Cain (below). Father Kinley and Dromos are treated more as obstacles than threats. Granted, Dromos possessing Kinley is creepy, but not threatening although he’s meant to be ‘evil.’ Now Walton Goggins, he would have been a very scary vatican priest.

Lt. Marcus Pierce / Cain played by Tom Welling: Cain is an underwhelming big bad for me, specifically because we don’t get into the gritty of his past, just a lot of exposition that says but doesn’t show which makes it hard to connect the dots between tormented eternal, crime lord, and occasional straight arrow. It would be nice to get a sense of what triggers him to reinvent himself and what drives him to toe one side of the moral line or the other. We do get a flashback of him with the LAPD, but that’s when he’s on the right side of the law. I believe the motive that he wants to die, but the torture and mental instability of age that would lead into something menacing doesn’t translate on screen, just sad and bored Cain - therefore I don’t really believe him as an underground crime boss. Which is a shame, because I like Tom Welling, I enjoyed Marcus’ relationships with both Lucifer and Chloe, even the dynamic where he tries to use Chloe as a means to an end and has a change of heart. However, I never got the sense that the season arc knew where it was going with his villainy, and his descent back into crime near the end felt very unearned.

*21 Days of Lucifer Countdown: Here’s looking forward to the season 5 villains/antagonists. I cannot wait to meet Michael.*

On Nathema

With Keilla's run, all eight classes have now completed KOTET, the traitor arc and Ossus. Yay!

I was thinking of the enemies that show up on Nathema. There are a few that broke my heart, some that made perfect sense and many that left me scratching my head. FWIW, this is the rundown of who showed up for my toons, and who I would have chosen instead.  On the one hand since Nathema wiped out so many story NPCs in one blow, it was nice that everyone ever wasn’t sacrificed. On the other hand, I feel like that moment was supposed to be an emotional punch and it really wasn’t for some classes IMHO. 

****SPOILERS FOR ALL EIGHT CLASSES OF SWTOR AND DISCUSSION OF WHO SHOWS UP ON NATHEMA FOR THEM *****

My characters got:  Viri (Sith Warrior): Darth Ravage. * Jia, Suvia (Sith Inquisitors): Zash Ikina (Imperial Agent): Marcus Trant Taran (Bounty Hunter): Janarus's wife

Lira (Jedi Knight): Master Kwiks Jenari (Jedi Consular): Gaden Ko Amedria (Smuggler): Master Sumalee Keilla (Trooper): General Garza

* Darth Baras inexplicably showed up on the Viri clone that was made with a Level 60 token.

I think...there might have been other choices for some of the classes.

Jedi Knight: Neither option here makes sense to me very much. I would have gone with:

Darth Mortis - I think he would have packed more of a punch here, because I could see him being like, "no fucking way I'm letting a Jedi run the galaxy."  Ravage could have taken his place as the Sith who aligns with Vinn Atrius if the Commander chose to be a peacekeeper. Master Kaedan - If he had not been killed on Ilum, he would have worked well here. He was already suspicious of a DS Jedi Knight and was willing to kill others to protect his assets.

Smuggler: I think the problem with the Smuggler is that most of the people who want them dead have already showed up in the game. Sumalee was a heartbreak. I didn't think the Voidwolf's daughter or whoever was effective but I have no idea who would have gone in her place.

Trooper: Garza made sense and I was honestly glad to take her out. For the other:

Lt. Pierce - This one would have been an absolute gut punch and I am glad that they didn't do this, since Pierce is alive in all stories and could thus possibly show up again. But I think he would have made sense and would have had more of an emotional impact for players who did the other classes, especially Sith Warrior. After all the trooper undoes all his work in taking the Bastion and that's the highlight of his career. Grand Moff Regus - Again, I am glad they didn't, so that he has a chance of reappearing, but this would have been an Imperial officer that more players would have recognized, and they could have framed it as him finally taking a shot at the leader of Havoc Squad.

Sith Warrior: Baras makes sense, although I can't understand why anyone would actually have saved him. As for Ravage, meh.

Servant One: I think it would have made more sense to throw him in here instead of Ravage. The Servants could be incensed that the Wrath turned her back on their beloved Vitiate.

Sith Inquisitor: this is the one class I think is 1000% perfect.

Bounty Hunter: Yeah so I have no idea who either of these people is or why I should care about them. I'd change it to:

Coral: Perhaps Coral survived after all and still has a grudge that the BH and Mako tracked her down and fought her. Maybe you only killed the clone you thought was Coral... Crysta's daughter: I don't know what her motivation would have been, but at least it would have been someone that the BH knew.

Imperial Agent: One of them is a heartbreak. The other has to be Googled. Or at least, I did. I’d have used: 

Darth Zhorrid: You know she's not on the Dark Council anymore but there's no confirmation she's actually dead, and she surely doesn't need a reason to kill you, she just will. And if you sided with Jadus in the IA story she has ample reason to want revenge. I think she would have been more effective than Trant.

"Ein rollender Stein setzt kein Moos an!"

- Lt. Marcus Pierce

[ships-sailing-in-the-night]

Everyone keeps telling Chloe that she is special, yet she doesn’t know just how special she really is.

[casimania]

Chlaze + Piercifer AU where Chloe is already involved with Maze and knows the whole Divinity thing is real but the time Pierce strolls in the precinct but... No one tells her who he is once they find out.

Maze doesn't trust him and her priority is keeping Chloe and Trixie safe now and it's better if he doesn't think she may know any of his secrets. And Lucifer is just still worried the more she’s involved in these things the more she's in danger, especially if he himself is the one involving her (cause he's still convinced he ruins everything he touches) and when he just made a pact to defy his Dad (who could retailate hurting people close to him, in his Genius brain the only option is keeping everyone completely in the dark about as many things as possible). So he keeps his mouth shut initially and just tells Maze after she starts sniffing around, cause for her now Chloe and Trixie’s safety has a higher priority than even Lucifer’s and he can trust her to protect them both if Pierce ends up being more dangerous than he lets on.

Also Maze discovers how Marcus tried to get himself killed by almost getting Chloe shot too. And she turns him into a pincushion. She just stabs him and goes "This is for Chloe" then stabs him again and goes "This is for Chloe too" then stabs him another time and goes again "Still for Chloe" and she just goes on and on and he’s not even trying to defend himself anymore cause she gotta get tired at some point, right? Right?? Or she pulls a Charlotte and corners him in the precinct  after she’s dropped off a bounty, puts a hand on his chest and pushes him all the way into his office and there's not much he can do because Demon Stenght, and then she pushes him down on his chair and keeps a hand on his shoulder with enough strength he can't get up. And just starts treathening him. She goes on for like, 10 minutes at least. Until Chloe walks in like "Hey Lt. I have the- Maze! :D" and Maze goes "Chloe! :D" and gets sidetracked so when Chloe walks out she does too like, skipping steps. Pierce is left in his office sort of thinking "What the fuck just happened".

But fast forward some time and the people closest to Lucifer can tell something is going on with him and the Lieutenant but they can’t figure it out, knowing Lucifer it’s something weird. And then then Pierce has weird mood swings too and there’s just something off. But he doesn’t really get buddy buddy with anyone so they can’t figure him out either. This time not even Maze know what’s going on, but she doesn’t care as long as it doesn’t involve her or Chloe, Trixie and Linda. Amenadiel went after Cain of his own volition and can deal with the consequences and Lucifer went after him to the extent he’s the reason the guy didn’t leave LA in the first place. She’s not gonna monitor those two featherbrains 24/7. Linda is actually the one that knows Lucifer and Marcus’ relationship started getting some romantic undertones they deal with in egregiously bad ways.

And then there's some big case and shit goes ass up and Lucifer has to pop out his wings in front of Chloe and Marcus to shield them or something. And Chloe sees Marcus isn’t phased, and thinks Lucifer already revealed himself so she's like "Lucifer why does our boss know about you?? But at least it's another good ol' regolar human in the know." and Marcus is like "Uh. Right, she doesn't know." and she fucking freezes. Cause oh no, who the fuck is this now? And Lucifer just spits out "He'sCainfromtheBiblewhomImayhavefallenalittleinlovewithinbetweentryingtokillhimtoendhisinfinitemisery." and there’s a moment of silence where Chloe’s brain is just processing and Lucifer and Marcus both silently panic because Lucifer rused the L word and gave them both a little jolt of... happyness? Dan gets to the scene and just sees Chloe pummeling Lucifer. No more secrets they said! Keeping people at least marginally updated is the best course to make them aware of potential dangers and able to defend themselves better they said! And he didn't even tell her he had a boyfriend, she just had to guess like everyone else and then discover it like this. And then Marcus pipes up like "... I'm hardly a boy." and then regrets it because she just turns around glares at him and doesn't say anything just because she finally noticed Dan who's like "wtf??" (but she has so many words for him too, she's tired of this Miracle thing and people targeting her for it). Later that night at home she starts throwing pillows at Maze too cause "You knew too!! And didn't tell me anything!!"

They all end up having a heart to heart together. A general update of what’s going on. Marcus looks like he'd prefer to be anywhere else (he kinda looks like he swallowed a lemon, and the more everyone gets emotional the more he looks slightly horrified) , Lucifer holds his hand the whole time (Marcus still looks mildly horrified at everyone Emotioning around him but when Lucifer squeezes his hand he immediately squeezes back), Maze is still glaring at him and basically keeps Chloe almost in her lap the whole time. Chloe tries not to pull her hair out while Lucifer is recounting their shenanigans because they both made so many messes (and she suddenly understands that when they both started being unbearable and their moods were all over the place it was just them realizing they caught the Feels and reacting as well as two emotionally stunted immortals could). She pummels Lucifer some more because they're supposed to be friends and she deserves to know about things that concern her safety and he, no matter how much he believes, doesn't poison everything he touches and deserves to have a friendly shoulder to rely on, and she wants to be that, they're friends and she might be just a mortal but he has to trust her judgment and that she is able to not put herself in unnecessary danger while also supporting him. It's ok if he doesn't tell her everything all the time, some things are just for yourself. But she wants to be there for him and if the only thing that's holding him back is being afraid he'll ruin her well, he won't- and if she could she'd deck not only God and Goddess but also all the angels who made him believe that. And he's like "I'm not crying" while totally crying. Marcus starts with an awkward back pat because he hasn't comforted anyone in ages but then he gets into it and they're full on hugging and Lucifer is still clinging to him by the time they part ways with Chloe and Maze. He tries to act though and detatched through it all but he's also seconds away from just pulling Lucifer in his lap and cradling him in his arms but it's one of those things it's still hard to be spontaneous about, he has the impulse but always stops midway and does something smaller unless Lucifer coaxes it out of him. He still hovers tho. And Lucifer's like "I'm fine!" while almost bawling his eyes out. And he tries to, awkwardly hug Chloe while also not letting go of Marcus and while Maze is still holding onto Chloe.

Later Chloe and Lucifer can finally both talk about Maze and Marcus and, it's nice having Chloe to talk with cause Maze's advice seems to be always "Dump him. Stab him. Stab him and then dump him." and while Linda is helpful a therapy session is way different than just a night out with a friend. And also finally Chloe doesn't alway feel out of the loop and like something bad is going to happen any moment because Maze, Lucifer or Amenadiel are acting strange but everyone is being very vague but also nervous and tense. And also now Lucifer can show up at Chloe and Maze’s place in the middle of the night looking sad as a saggy bowl of cereals and Chloe listens to him mope about Marcus over a tub of ice cream and a romcom and then gives him advice. Maze sometimes walks by, steals some ice cream and mocks him. Or depending waht’s going on with Marcus offers to stab him some more.

Lucifer Moves to a New Stage

Since Lucifer returned to Los Angels after its Pilot and some of the scenes for some episodes in S1 and S2 it was occupying Stage 16 and a small part of Stage 11. The VIP parking spots actually are still outside Stage 11. 

Now the production was moved to a different location some time before Season 4 dropped on Netflix which had me wondering as to why and what that meant. It soon became apparent what that meant as we would get a fifth and final season. 

Stage 16 was hosting everything aside from Linda’s office and although it is a VERY big stage in total SF and height it still struggled to keep it up with the series needs. That became apparent last year when Chloe’s house had to be taken down for the stage to have a breathing space from the addition of Linda’s house right behind Lt Marcus Pierce office. 

That also brings us to one more issue. Certain sets were created but either was scrapped quickly or simply remained taking valuable space from the stages. Such sets were the Lt office, the precincts facilities where Charlotte had her breakdown or even LUX’s facilities that were used for a fight in S3 but the scene was deleted and added in the home media later on. The same also applies for the Penthouse’s dressing room and sets like the hospital in S4, or the hospital room, the karaoke bar etc in S3. 

So as you can see Lucifer always needed more space than it was available and yet it managed to deliver beautifully. However, the question remains where has it been moved now and perhaps even why? 

Stage 16 is a movie stage and one of the most expensive ones. Cost-wise it was not a viable option to spend so much in a stage for your last season. Then again the new stages might cost just as much but something happened in mid 2019 that made the moving as the obvious choice for S5. A show that was also produced in WB lot was axed, I’m of course talking about Lethal Weapon. 

Lethal Weapon was occupying 2 stages Stages 28 & 28A (One stage divided in half) and Stage 29. For trivia’s sake, CHuck was shot at Stages 28 & 28A while some of the Tara set from Gone With The Wind was discovered there hinting that a part of that classic had also used that stage.

Now let’s see the logistics here and speculate a few things that concern Lucifer and why this move might be beneficial to the show. 

Stage 16 stood at 65 feet while all the other stages are at around 35. Its dimension is 238 x 135 and in total it has 32,130 s.f.

Stage 11 is 14,715 s.f.

In total Stage 16 and Stage 11 (which was never used as a whole as far as I know at least) 46,845 s.f. Again Stage 11 was not occupied solely by Lucifer so I would say at best count in the total just the 1/4 of that stage. 

That means that Lucifer totally was occupying at the WB lot around 35-36K square feet of stage space from 2017-2019. 

Stages 28 & 28A are in total 21,310s.f. and so far host the penthouse and LUX. I do expect the precinct to also be built there right behind LUX and perhaps Chloe’s house close to the penthouse but that remains to be seen. 

So far we do not know if the production has decided to also occupy Stage 29 but it would make sense as it is free and building a set is cheaper than using CGI or renting properties for shooting around Los Angeles. That is also important when you have action scenes like the one in 4x04 where the bar was actually a set built from scratch. 

If they do get Stage 29 that means that the new total of available space for everything the production wants to built for S5 will be a grand total of 38,880 s.f.

So what can we expect from this moving?

1) More sets for sure like Hell perhaps 2) Keeping a good balance between Lot and L.A. scenes which will not hurt the budget. 

3) Quality CGI when we actually need it. 

4) Not many bts as the stages are at the edge of the stage lot. 

All in all, I believe that the new stages will benefit S5 :) 

EDIT: It appears that the second stage we occupy is stage 26. 

The new space total is 42,930sf. Up until last year, we had S11 (14,715sf) & all of S16 (32,130sf) = 46,845sf yet S11 was only partly used.
