Andy Muschietti, the director behind the It films and the first episode of Welcome to Derry, is a fitting choice for the series. He previously directed The Flash, a film that explored multiverse concepts originating from the classic comic “The Flash of Two Worlds.” Muschietti is also slated to direct The Brave and the Bold, a future DCU Batman movie, having already directed two different actors – Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton – as Batman in The Flash.

In an interview with TV Insider, Janney discussed how her and Schell’s characters in The Diplomat differ from their roles as C.J. Cregg and Josh Lyman on The West Wing. Janney admitted there was a lot of anticipation about the reunion, especially from fans, and she felt it too. While the show’s creator, Debora Cahn, may have initially been hesitant, Janney believes viewers will see that these new characters are completely distinct and won’t evoke memories of their West Wing personas.

She explained that the media simply fabricated and exaggerated the story. Even innocent interactions, like standing nearby, were blown out of proportion – ‘They’re standing two inches apart!’ Instead of believing it was a planned publicity stunt, she believes the attention stemmed from a genuine connection. ‘Glen and I really care about each other, and we have a lot of love and respect for one another,’ she said. ‘I think people could see that we were a truly lovely couple.’

Viewers have mixed feelings about how season 2 of Gen V ended, but everyone agrees it will significantly impact season 5 of The Boys. With A-Train back and the Gen V students – Marie, Jordan, Cate, Emma, Sam, and Annabeth – joining Starlight’s team, it looks like the show is building towards its largest story arc so far, expected in 2026.

This SpongeBob movie is the wildest and most hilarious one since the first film in 2004! SpongeBob and Patrick get stretched, squished, and sent on a crazy adventure, even ending up in the underworld. The script, written by Matt Lieberman and Pam Brady (who’ve worked on comedies like Hot Rod, South Park, and Team America), cleverly uses SpongeBob’s flexible body as a key part of the story.

This season, Noah and Joanne aren’t the only ones dealing with big life changes. Their friends Sasha, Esther, and Morgan are also facing their own challenges, sometimes even more intense than Noah and Joanne’s. After nine episodes of funny, awkward, and relatable moments, the season ends with an engagement party that makes everyone rethink their beliefs about faith and love. The finale leaves one couple broken up, another uncertain about their future, and a third moving towards a deeper commitment.

I just dug into the Themed Entertainment Industry’s latest Global Experience Index for 2024, and it’s packed with attendance figures for theme parks worldwide. As expected, Disney World is still king of the hill, but honestly, their continued dominance is starting to give me a little pause. I’m starting to wonder what it will take to shake things up.

Morena Baccarin, known for playing Vanessa in the Deadpool movies, would like to be more involved in the next Deadpool film made by Marvel Studios. In a recent interview with Variety, she shared how surprised she is by the success of the franchise, saying she never expected it to become so popular. She’s hoping for a larger role and more screen time in the upcoming movie, Deadpool & Wolverine, than she had in the previous films.

Netflix’s new political thriller, A House of Dynamite, has sparked a lot of discussion and even controversy, drawing strong reactions from viewers and the US Pentagon. The film currently has a 77% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, and social media is filled with responses to its disturbing premise and shocking ending. The movie concludes at a critical moment, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats, unsure if the central event will happen and how those in charge will respond.

As a critic, I’ve been watching the numbers, and Superman definitely delivered at the box office, raking in over $615 million and proving profitable for the studio. Not surprisingly, a sequel is already in the works! James Gunn just announced Man of Tomorrow is slated for release on July 9, 2027. With DC making some big moves with its upcoming films, Superman‘s recent success—especially its streaming performance—gives the whole franchise a really solid boost moving forward.
