Minority Mindset

The new book, Ember and Ice, follows Finn, the crown prince of Lunare, and Dane, a rebellious prince from the Solari kingdom. Forced to spend time together, their historic rivalry unexpectedly sparks a dangerous attraction. Fans of enemies-to-lovers stories, forbidden romance, and gay erotica will find plenty to enjoy, along with themes of warring kingdoms and characters thrown together. In a preview, authors Storrie and Williams playfully reference their previous work, Heated Rivalry, with Williams jokingly appearing in hockey gear before being reminded they’re recording a steamy fantasy romance for Quinn.

Top actors like Austin Butler, Timothée Chalamet, Glen Powell, and Jacob Elordi are reportedly turning down roles in superhero movies. Comic book creator Rob Liefeld pointed this out in a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), suggesting it’s one reason Marvel is relying more on familiar faces. Liefeld noted that Jacob Elordi specifically turned down the role of Superman, sharing a quote from a GQ interview as evidence. He believes this trend is a real issue for casting new male leads in these films.

The finale of Marty Supreme is unexpectedly touching, showing Marty deeply moved by his new baby. The filmmakers originally considered a different ending – a scene of an older Marty with his granddaughter – but decided against it. In hindsight, that alternate ending wouldn’t have been as powerful a way to finish the film.

A recent post on X (formerly Twitter) highlighted a report from insider Daniel Richtman stating that Marvel Studios is very interested in Jordan Peele directing a Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film. While this idea has been circulating for a while, Peele’s production company, Monkeypaw Productions, also acknowledged the possibility.

Despite this, Scott shared with Letterboxd that he believes his 1997 war movie G.I. Jane, starring Demi Moore, is the best pro-female movie ever made, even when compared to Thelma & Louise. He also discusses Moore’s performance in the 2024 horror movie The Substance and says that he thinks the writer and director Coralie Fargeat “lost control of it.” Check out Scott’s comments below:

According to recent reports, Jordan Peele may be taking on a Marvel movie. Marvel Studios is supposedly considering him to direct one of their upcoming superhero films.
