Robert Downey, Jr.’s Doctor Doom gets an action figure. Bruce Campbell says Evil Dead has “moved away” from familiar favorites. Two new horror movies explore poodle breeding and the Civil War. They’re here already! You’re next! It’s Morning Spoilers! 

Brine

Deadline reports Jennifer Holland (Peacemaker) and Dave Annable (Lioness) will star in Brine, a “supernatural Civil War thriller” from director B.J. Golnick. Co-starring Jonah Wharton, Sissy Sheridan, and Grayson Lay the story concerns “a family of Confederate deserters who escape the Union bombardment of Fort Pulaski with a cache of stolen gold and disappear into the Georgia marshlands. When they take refuge in a remote plantation house, what first appears to be salvation slowly reveals itself as part of something ancient, predatory and impossible to escape.”

Untitled Spy Comedy

Deadline also had word Henry Cavill will star alongside Kevin Hart in a currently untitled “spy comedy” at Netflix from director McG. Said to be “based on a short story by Sean Lewis,” the story follows “two rival spies who cross paths in a Lamaze class, and whose wives become fast friends. Their double lives subsequently collide in unexpectedly hilarious and dangerous ways, forcing the two men to reluctantly become confidantes and partners on the road to fatherhood.”

Breeder

Variety reports Daniel Doheny, Dot Marie Jones, Maddie Phillips, and Tanaya Beatty will star in Breeder, a horror movie from director Alex Goyette that sounds quite a bit like Sssssss with poodles. The film concerns “an eccentric poodle breeder who lures a broke college student to her remote ranch with a promise of research funding. As he soon learns, there’s a catch.”

Evil Dead Burn/Evil Dead Wrath

In a recent interview with Deadline, Bruce Campbell stated the Evil Dead franchise has “moved away” from Ash Williams, Sam Raimi, and the cabin in the woods.

No, no. I think I think basically from Evil Dead Rise on, Ash is… you know, they wanted some little gag of Ash at the end of the movie. We did that as a lark. He’s not part of any big overriding story or scheme. [The Evil Dead has] done three things: We moved away from the cabin, we’ve moved away from Sam Raimi, we’ve moved away from Ash and Bruce Campbell. Thankfully, Evil Dead Rise made the most of any money we’ve made from any Evil Dead, so far, and it validated the fact that we can get away from those main elements. You’ve got to find a new audience, because the original Evil Dead fans, you get some of them, you’re not going to get all of them, because they like those original elements. They like me and Sam and Ash and all that sort of crap.
