The initial plan for the DC Universe is starting to become a reality. We’ve already seen movies, shows, and animated projects, and more are on the way. Over the next few months and years, James Gunn will be announcing the next group of projects to expand the DCU.
So, I was reading an interview with Kathleen Kennedy, the president of Lucasfilm – she took the reins back in 2012 when Disney bought the whole Star Wars operation from George Lucas. She was chatting with Deadline about her time running things, the good and the bad. And naturally, the conversation turned to Rian Johnson’s planned trilogy after The Last Jedi. She finally addressed what happened with those projects, and here’s what she had to say…
It’s been over four years since the movie Eternals came out, and with no news about a sequel, many fans thought the cliffhanger ending wouldn’t be addressed. Now, good news for fans of Kit Harington (known for Game of Thrones): a reliable source says he’ll be returning as Dane Whitman in a new project called Midnight Sons.
It’s tough to pick just a few, but here are five excellent thriller shows from the last 15 years that haven’t gotten enough attention. The best part? You can stream them all on popular platforms. If you’re looking for a suspenseful new show to watch, these hidden gems are a great place to start.
While the story isn’t available yet, Speedy Gonzales, the quick-witted mouse, has been a popular character in the Looney Tunes universe since the 1950s. Most recently, Gabriel Iglesias voiced Speedy in the 2021 film Space Jam: A New Legacy, and Fred Armisen, Tim Dadabo, and Dino Andrade have all played the role at different times. Bill Damaschke, president of Warner Bros. Pictures Animation, recently spoke about the new movie, saying:
Despite the many original shows now available on Netflix, Narcos remains one of the platform’s best examples of captivating, binge-worthy storytelling. The series, which aired for three seasons from 2015 to 2017, tells the dramatic story of Pablo Escobar (played by Wagner Moura), Colombia’s notorious drug lord, and his eventual downfall. It covers years of violence, corruption, and political games, all unfolding at a fast pace.
According to FlixPatrol, Black Phone 2 is quickly becoming popular on streaming services. It reached number one on Peacock’s list of top movies in the US just one day after becoming available there. The film also appears in the top ten movie charts on Amazon and Apple TV in fifteen countries.
According to Deadline, Marty Supreme is expected to make $7 million domestically over the Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend. This would bring the film’s total domestic earnings to $81.1 million after five weeks in theaters, including four weeks in wide release.
Choosing Gone Tomorrow for season 4 of Reacher would be a smart move, because it’s a suspenseful story with plenty of unexpected turns. It’s similar in style to the show’s first season, focusing on a murder mystery, and even though the series is known for its action, the book itself already has some exciting scenes.
Netflix is clearly succeeding with thriller content, as evidenced by the recent performance of its latest film. “The Rip,” starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, quickly rose to the top of Netflix charts worldwide. While the star power of Affleck and Damon is a definite draw, it’s not the sole reason for the movie’s popularity.
