I just heard some news about The Last of Us season 3, and it’s a bit of a bummer. Apparently, Danny Ramirez, who played Manny, won’t be able to continue in the role due to some scheduling issues. Variety and Nexus Point News were the first to report it. But don’t worry, the show’s already looking for a new actor to step in and play Manny, who’s a really important character as one of Abby’s allies. It’s sad to see Danny go, but I’m sure whoever they cast will do a great job!
Although many associate Andrew Garfield with potential appearances in future Spider-Man movies, he’s also been praised for his role in a fantastic TV show. The series is a gripping crime drama based on a popular New York Times bestseller, and it’s considered a remarkably faithful adaptation.

In an interview with GQ, Tom Hiddleston discussed how his character Loki evolved in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He explained that Loki went from being a clear villain to a more thoughtful hero by the end of Loki Season 2. Hiddleston said that for Loki to truly change and have a different fate, he needed to come to terms with his past actions. This acceptance, Hiddleston noted, allowed Loki to take control of his own story.

Liu responded by suggesting three directors: Chloé Zhao (known for Eternals), The Daniels (who directed Everything Everywhere All At Once), and Lee Isaac Chung (Twisters).
