Netflix’s fantasy series, Shadow and Bone, was based on the books by Leigh Bardugo. It followed Alina Starkov, an orphan and mapmaker played by Jessie Mei Li, who learns she has magical abilities and could be the savior of a world torn apart by war.

Though Shadow and Bone ran for two seasons, in 2021 and 2023, before being canceled, one of its actors is now the lead in a different series.

Though Quentin Tarantino’s previous criticism didn’t directly lead to Lillard being cast, it did bring his talent to the attention of other directors. It’s a case of negative attention actually boosting his career – similar to the ‘Barbara Streisand effect,’ where trying to suppress information only draws more attention to it.

Wow, this year is all about Marvel bringing everyone together! I’m seeing crossovers everywhere, not just in the films, but on Disney+ too. Take “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” – they’ve cleverly woven in Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk and Jon Bernthal’s Punisher. But “Avengers: Doomsday” is the real event – it’s a massive party with heroes from every corner of the MCU. We’re talking original Infinity Saga faces, newcomers from the Multiverse Saga, and even characters from the X-Men universe, originally from Fox! It’s a truly epic scale of team-up.

A single line of dialogue spoken by Maul in Star Wars Rebels sparked years of debate about Darth Vader’s past during a dark period in the galaxy. Now, the Star Wars franchise has delivered a definitive answer, creating a truly impactful and rewarding moment for fans of the animated series.

The lawsuit claims that James Cameron and his team used drawings and designs, including 3D models, based on Wes Studi’s daughter, Kaiulani Studi Kilcher, without her permission or payment. According to the suit, this contributed to the massive success of the Avatar films, which portrayed itself as supportive of Indigenous communities while secretly taking advantage of a young Indigenous woman. Kilcher also alleges that Cameron sent her a sketch of the character Neytiri in 2010, writing that her appearance initially inspired the character’s design, but he couldn’t cast her because she was already working on another film.
