But it doesn’t stop there. Many films and TV series, even those not based on comics or focused on superheroes, still pay tribute to the comic book world by making it a key part of their stories.
Kal Penn’s character, Jay Jonah Atterbury, in the fourth season of Industry, takes familiar traits from his previous role as Kumar and twists them. What used to be playful and laid-back now comes across as unpleasant, especially when laced with casual racism. His self-deprecating humor feels less like a charm and more like a shield. Penn skillfully portrays Jonah, a co-founder of the fintech firm Tender, as arrogant and self-important. However, the season premiere also sets him up as a surprisingly sympathetic figure when he’s betrayed by his close friend and business partner, Whitney. This betrayal suggests Jonah might be one of many characters who will buckle under the pressure of the competitive world depicted in the show throughout the season.
Tessa Thompson hasn’t said whether she’ll be in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie. When asked about it on the Bingeworthy podcast, she simply said she couldn’t confirm anything, remaining tight-lipped about her potential involvement in the film, which is currently being filmed in the U.K.
According to entertainment reporter Daniel Richtman, Marvel boss Kevin Feige is considering Joe Keery for a role in a future Marvel project. While it’s unclear who he might play, fans are already buzzing with possibilities. Popular suggestions include Scott Summers, also known as Cyclops, as well as Nova or Harry Osborn.
New episodes of 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days are currently airing on TLC, and the season is well underway. While we’ve seen a lot of drama between Sheena and Forrest, recent episodes also featured more of Aviva and her boyfriend, Stig, who is a well-known pop singer.
Timothée Chalamet has finally won a Golden Globe Award! He was nominated four times previously, and this time took home the prize for his role in Marty Supreme.
Let’s quickly talk about the episode’s opening. After the theme song, it tells us it’s May 1945 and “the war in Europe is coming to a close.” Seriously? Is that necessary to state? If it’s 1945, of course the war is ending! It feels a bit obvious to point that out to an audience who are already choosing to watch a show about people in old-fashioned clothes fixing sheep and singing. Maybe it’s for any children who might be watching with their parents, but I doubt anyone is showing their toddlers a documentary about World War II – and I certainly won’t be making that mistake with my own kids. They’ll learn about it eventually.
When we see Harper again, she arrives at work in a chauffeur-driven Range Rover, dressed in expensive gray clothes. Everyone in the office at Mostyn Asset Management seems scared of her—or maybe worried about her. She was brought in by a powerful figure to manage a fund that only makes bets against other companies, but her career has hit a roadblock since the last season. Her team isn’t performing well, her investors are nervous, and her boss, Sir Otto, has put a junior employee in charge of monitoring her, who expresses his concerns by asking leading questions. Even Harper’s most trusted colleagues—Sweetpea and Kwabena, who joined the show last season—no longer just question her decisions privately; they openly disagree with her.
Angel started the trip at a disadvantage. Originally planned as a couples getaway, the trip was reworked after most of the couples broke up. This left limited housing options for the cast and crew during a busy travel season. While these logistical issues were likely unavoidable, Gizelle, Wendy, and Ashley used them as an opportunity to turn the group against Angel. They complained about problems like inconsistent water pressure, poor cell service, and the remote, somewhat scary location. While these issues are common for stays in remote areas, Angel had already clashed with Gizelle and Wendy so many times that she wasn’t given the benefit of the doubt when these problems arose.
This win continues Timothée Chalamet’s impressive run, following his victory last week at the Critics Choice Awards where he was favored over Leonardo DiCaprio and Michael B. Jordan. Now that major industry awards and Oscar nominations are coming up, fans of the Safdie brothers are wondering if Chalamet can maintain this momentum or if his streak will end.
