The new film, Infinity Castle, is breaking records after its announcement. Within just five hours and with very little promotion, it pre-sold ¥20 million worth of tickets – that’s about $2.8 million in the U.S. According to reports on X (formerly Twitter), Demon Slayer’s pre-sales in China have already hit $3 million, and the movie is predicted to earn $200 million during its opening weekend. For comparison, Avengers: Endgame made over $100 million on its first day in China back in April 2019.

Let me tell you, the casting alone – two Oscar winners and one seriously overlooked pig – had me excited. But it’s the addition of Escola that takes this project from great to genuinely thrilling. They absolutely revived the image of Mary Todd Lincoln, and I have no doubt they can do the same for this 49-year-old pig. Watching Escola work, you can really see how Piggy’s energy – the strength, the wildness, the comedy, the sheer diva attitude – informed their portrayal of Mary Todd. In fact, they told Amy Poehler they’d love to see Piggy star in a movie about Mary Todd, surrounded by human actors. And get this – they admitted they were already talking to Disney about it! Clearly, they weren’t joking, and this movie is shaping up to be something special.

Not only is this new project exciting on its own, but it also marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While Marvel Studios hasn’t revealed specific plans for Phases 7 and beyond, Kevin Feige and others have indicated they have a general idea of where things are headed. Though the main villain for this next era remains a mystery, a particular Marvel trilogy may offer clues about the challenges the Avengers will face in the coming years.

At a party celebrating Mahmood Mamdani’s win, many well-known figures from Hollywood and other fields were in attendance. Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, a strong supporter of Mamdani and a previous target of criticism, was surrounded by reporters. Cynthia Nixon, who ran against Mamdani in the 2018 gubernatorial primary, was there with her Gilded Age co-star Morgan Spector, who had appeared in an ad endorsing Mamdani earlier in September. Jennifer Welch of the I’ve Had It podcast and Adam Friedland, a prominent voice in online progressive circles, were key in mobilizing support through podcasts. Other attendees included Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon’s Sex and the City co-star, comedians Aziz Ansari, Julio Torres, Kal Penn, and Mary Beth Barone, and student activist Mahmoud Khalil.

The Fellowship of the Ring was formed at Rivendell, following a council led by Elrond, so it’s natural he played a key role in choosing its members. However, Elrond nearly made a serious mistake during the selection process – one that could have drastically changed the outcome of the quest and the fate of Middle-earth. Thankfully, Gandalf intervened and prevented a potentially disastrous error.
