Robert Downey Jr. will be back in a future Marvel Cinematic Universe film, but this time playing Doctor Doom instead of Iron Man. The fate of Tony Stark remains uncertain, though alternate versions of characters from across the multiverse could appear in Avengers: Doomsday. Regardless of whether Downey Jr. reprises his role as Iron Man, Marvel has already found someone else to play him in a new MCU show, and a recently announced Avengers project proves they made the right decision.

Okay, seriously, this whole thing is huge! It looks like the conspiracy in The Chair Company goes way higher up than we thought – or at least as high as Ron can take it in another season. I’m so excited, HBO has officially renewed the show for Season 2! I’m celebrating by imagining drinking Pepto Bismol out of something fancy and maybe… impulsively giving my boss a little nudge. Just kidding (mostly)!

It seems like only yesterday I was excited about all the Stephen King adaptations coming in 2025, but here we are, nearing the end of a fantastic year for King fans! With Edgar Wright’s The Running Man now in theaters, the final King movie of the year has arrived. And with the fifth episode of IT: Welcome to Derry set to premiere on Sunday, we’ll be over halfway through the last King TV series of the year. But before I look ahead, I want to talk about Episode 4 of the HBO series and what was, for me, the most terrifying and unsettling scene so far.

Shows like Severance offered a dark take on balancing work and life, while Barry surprisingly transformed a simple idea – a hitman becoming an actor – into a thought-provoking exploration of life’s big questions. These series, including Andor, Arcane, and Atlanta, represent some of the best television of the last decade.

The cast of Ella McCay recently shared how the film successfully blends heartfelt emotion, compelling drama, and humor – a hallmark of the director’s previous movies. Set against the backdrop of the Obama presidency, the story focuses on Ella McCay, a woman unexpectedly thrust into a powerful role as she deals with a difficult past and challenging family dynamics. With a talented and diverse cast, the film promises to be both funny and moving for viewers.

Two years after being found not guilty on nine sexual assault charges in the UK, Kevin Spacey has largely been shut out of Hollywood. He’s been working primarily in smaller, Mediterranean markets, often appearing in crime films. Despite this, Spacey recently told The Telegraph he believes influential figures in the industry want to see him return to work. He feels a single call from a director like Martin Scorsese or Quentin Tarantino would be enough to revive his career, saying he’d be “incredibly honored and delighted” to receive such an offer, and that he thinks it will happen. While he may be right that a call from either director could change things, the fact that hasn’t happened yet is significant.

Following a controversial final season, the world of Game of Thrones has made a strong comeback. House of the Dragon delivered two seasons that were as good as the show’s prime, and the upcoming A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is also looking promising. Now, there’s even more positive news for fans.

James Gunn, the director of the upcoming Superman movie, recently gave fans a closer look at one of the film’s villains. He shared behind-the-scenes artwork on X (formerly Twitter) featuring Zlatko Burić as Vasil Ghurkos.

Family is central to the CBS drama, largely due to the actress having previously worked with both her late husband and son.

According to Deadline, Gough and Millar will be executive producers on the project, alongside Jennifer Yuh Nelson, who directed episodes of Netflix’s Love, Death + Robots. Aaron Schmidt joins as an executive producer through Millar/Gough Ink, and Stephen Christy and Adam Yoelin will executive produce for Boom! Studios. Mette Norkjaer will co-executive produce with Phillips and Flaviano, the creators of the original comic book series. That series launched in 2022 and quickly became popular, running for 25 successful issues before concluding earlier this month.
