    I guess, somewhat. I thought it was just some kind of erotic thriller or something, and Wikipedia calls it psychological horror, but the plot description suggests it does have some vaguely supernatural Satanic elements. Still, not the kind of popular or franchise SF/fantasy I was thinking of, the sort of thing where you could define a performer by an iconic role like with Momoa/Aquaman.

    I got to admit, I don't think I've ever typed in anyone's full name in an IMDB search. I suspect most people don't, which might be why the predicter is so wonky when a full name goes in, they remove the actual name thinking that if that were the person you were search for you'd have clicked the name long before now.

    Another connection: Zoƫ at one time was romantically involved with Ezra Miller.

    Which doesn't do any good for those of us who type fast enough that we're done before we think to stop. Especially when it's a short name like this one.

    And really, how stupid must an algorithm be to think that "Lisa Bonet" is a misspelling of "Jet Li"? Or rather, how stupid does it think we must be? You'd think at least the first suggestion would be something like "Lisa Bonetti" or "Melissa Benoist" or even "Liza Minelli" before getting far enough down the list of possibilities to hit "Jet Li."

    I type pretty fast, but when I'm on IMDB or Google or whatever, I only bother entering three letters or so and usually whatever I'm looking for is listed among the options.

    I'd rather type it out, unless I don't know the spelling.

    Maybe for it's organized by popularity rather than how they close they are to the name?

    Now that would be some unconventional casting.

    Excellent casting. So far, they're three for three in the casting department. Along with Matt Reeves directing, I'm actually getting pretty excited about this film.

    That was "too many heroes". Much easier to pull off.

    I think that depends on why there are so many villains. I know a lot of the movies with multiple villains haven't always worked out, but I don't think any of that was solely due to there being multiple villains.

    How do you know how Matt Reeves will divide up the time for Catwoman scenes and Riddler scenes?

    We've had tons of Batman movies that have had multiple villains and enough screen time for everyone

    Penguin and Catwoman

    Joker, Harvey dent in the beginning and then later as Two-Face

    Bane, Catwoman, Talia, Dagget


    There's a lot they can squeeze into 2 hour and 15 minute movie(if the movie is that long

    I believe @Evil Headhunter was referring to the fact that Spider-Verse had Kingpin, Doc Ock, Scorpion, Prowler, Tombstone and Green Goblin.
