Many established anime franchises are struggling to stay relevant as new, exciting shows gain popularity.

Leonardo DiCaprio, known for his upcoming film One Battle After Another (releasing in 2025), recently offered advice to Jennifer Lawrence during a conversation for Variety’s Actors on Actors series. Lawrence starred in Die My Love earlier this year. The two actors previously collaborated on the Netflix film Don’t Look Up and are set to work together again on a new movie directed by Martin Scorsese, based on Peter Cameron’s novel What Happens at Night. As this will be Lawrence’s first time working with Scorsese, she asked DiCaprio for some insight into the director, and he responded:
I keep going back to a small moment from Episode 4 of Heated Rivalry. When Shane visited Ilya, Ilya offered him a ginger ale and made him a tuna melt, and it really stood out! It might seem silly to focus on this, but it’s actually a surprisingly important gesture. Let’s talk about why Ilya offering Shane that ginger ale meant so much.
I was so excited for season two of Percy Jackson, but then I heard they were adding a brand new character—one that wasn’t in the books at all! A lot of fans immediately hated the idea, and honestly, I was a little worried too. I tried to stay hopeful, though, and see how it would play out.
As a huge animation fan, I’ve been loving the buzz around Disney’s latest! It’s about this amazing city filled with animals who all live together, and it’s become the biggest movie of the year.

It’s awesome to see such a positive response!

The afterparty at The National Arts Club continued the New York love, with Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani chatting with Fran Drescher. Over by the catering – a whole roasted pig with an orange in its mouth instead of an apple – the Shark Tank crew celebrated Kevin O’Leary. The orange was a playful nod to the film’s focus on branding and visual themes.
The trailer begins with Stewart playing a famous actor who decides he wants to join the military, but his celebrity status makes people hesitant. “Shouldn’t I have the same right to serve as anyone else?” he asks, speaking with a blend of American and his natural New Zealand accent.

It’s difficult to concentrate on what he’s saying because how he’s saying it is so distracting.
The upcoming series adds to the Monsterverse universe and tells the story of Colonel Lee Shaw – the character Wyatt Russell portrays – before the events of ‘Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.’ Russell will return as Shaw in a story set in 1984, where Shaw undertakes a dangerous secret mission.
