Apple has a knack for attracting major stars to its films. Joaquin Phoenix plays Napoleon, Denzel Washington went head-to-head with A$AP Rocky in a rap battle, and Julianne Moore and Sydney Sweeney are playing mother and daughter in a gripping thriller. Their latest release, the dark comedy Outcome, boasts a huge cast including Keanu Reeves, Cameron Diaz, Matt Bomer, Laverne Cox, Drew Barrymore, and Jonah Hill. It’s become clear that Apple TV+ movies consistently feature incredibly talented and well-known actors.

The season finale of The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, titled “A Real Cinderello Story,” shows retired football players and roommates Reggie Dinkins (Tracy Morgan) and Rusty Boyd (Bobby Moynihan) watching a surprising announcement. Reggie’s old rival, Jerry Basmati (Craig Robinson), publicly declares he’s voting for Rusty to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Jerry hopes this will cause trouble between Reggie – who never received proper recognition after leaving football due to a gambling scandal – and Rusty, who wasn’t a very successful player, having only attempted a few field goals (and accidentally hitting children with two of them). However, Reggie and Rusty are too preoccupied arguing over the TV remote to even care about Jerry’s attempt to stir up drama.

Deadline reports that a clip shown at the convention ended with Godzilla appearing behind the Statue of Liberty, and notes the movie will be released in the United States.
