More to come…

With fans buzzing about Hedorah potentially being the big bad in Toho’s Godzilla: Minus One, many are also curious about what will bring Godzilla and Kong together to fight in the MonsterVerse. The MonsterVerse movies have already featured classic Godzilla enemies like King Ghidorah, Rodan, and MechaGodzilla, alongside the ally Mothra. After battling new monsters – The Scar King and Shimo – in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, the next film will likely introduce another powerful foe from the original Toho series. The rumored title, “Supernova,” hints at a threat from outer space, and this could point to SpaceGodzilla as the villain.

Variety reports that Netflix has greenlit a five-episode limited series from Morgan. The show will star Jeremy Strong, Gillian Anderson, Shira Haas, Daniel Brühl, August Diehl, and Lizzy Caplan. This marks a reunion between Anderson and the showrunner, as they previously collaborated on seasons 3 and 4 of The Crown, where Anderson played Margaret Thatcher. It will also be the third project for Brühl and Diehl, following their work together on Inglourious Basterds and The King’s Man.

Disney, led by Bob Iger, is facing a serious new issue. It’s not about struggles with streaming, rising theme park costs, or losing fans – it’s a more basic problem: the company’s official financial reports don’t accurately reflect its current situation.

Following the release of Zack Snyder’s Justice League on HBO Max in 2021, many fans are hoping for more films in the style of Snyder’s vision – often called the “Snyderverse.” There’s been talk online about Netflix being a potential home for any future Snyderverse sequels, especially since Zack Snyder already has several projects planned with the platform. However, Netflix would need to acquire the rights to DC’s characters, which would require buying Warner Bros. Discovery – a complex undertaking that isn’t straightforward.

HBO didn’t officially comment on J.K. Rowling’s visit to the set, but a source revealed that key members of the production team made time to greet her. Rowling is heavily involved in the series as an executive producer, and she’s also contributed to casting and offered guidance on the writing. Rowling herself stated in June that she’s been working closely with the series’ writers.

Monkeypaw Productions, the company created by Academy Award winner Jordan Peele, presents a fresh look at cowboy history. The series uses old film clips and interviews with notable people – including Tina Knowles, Pam Grier, Rick Ross, and Jordan Peele – to highlight the important contributions of African Americans in the Wild West and bring the stories of Black cowboys and cowgirls back into the mainstream.

The new movie, How to Make a Killing, is based on the 1949 British film Kind Hearts and Coronets. Both stories center around someone determined to get an inheritance, no matter the cost. The original film is a dark comedy about a man who murders the eight relatives standing between him and his inheritance. Given this history, How to Make a Killing is likely to be similarly dark and suspenseful.

Okay, so I finally checked out The Fantastic Four: First Steps on Disney+, and it was awesome! The best part? From the very beginning, you could watch it in the expanded IMAX format – the same one they showed in theaters when it came out in July. It really made a difference, giving you that bigger, more immersive picture. As a movie buff, I really appreciated being able to experience it that way at home!

Nicholas Hoult revealed he landed an audition for the new Superman movie by proactively reaching out to the director, James Gunn, through a direct message. Hoult explained he messaged Gunn to express his interest in the project and let him know he’d be happy to be considered for any role. This led to a formal audition, and he even got to try on the Superman suit during early costume tests as he pursued the lead role.
