Paramount is gearing up for the release of the film next month, and a new featurette reveals that they actually shaved Carrey’s head for the movie onscreen. Check this out:

Apparently Robotnik’s dishevelled hair in the movie was Carrey’s actual hair, and he said he’d been growing it for a year-and-a-half. We don’t know if he actually grew the hair for the film, but it’s always nice to see details like this whenever they talk about the making of movies.

Though three movies does sound like a solid number for a trilogy, it’s said that after Shadow the Hedgehog, director Tim Miller and his team already have their eyes set on a Sonic 4. We don’t have any details on who the villain could be this time, but a rumor is going around that the filmmakers are looking to incorporate Silver the Hedgehog into the movie.

In the games, Silver is a time-traveller (like Trunks from DBZ) who comes back to his past to stop catastrophes that shaped his future.

Of course, a fourth movie hasn’t been officially greenlit, but with the success of the Sonic movies and the solid fanbase, a fourth movie wouldn’t be surprising. I was just kind of hoping they greenlit another three movies immediately so Miller can write a more cohesive trilogy this time around.

Then again, it’s just a kids movie with a Hedgehog that runs fast, so I don’t think they have to try that hard storywise.

Catch Sonic the Hedgehog 3 when it zips into theatres this Dec. 20.

The movie is set to release in the summer of next year, and Universal Pictures just dropped their first teaser for the live-action How to Train Your Dragon. Check this out:

On the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup (Mason Thames; The Black Phone, For All Mankind) stands apart. The inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler, reprising his voice role from the animated franchise), Hiccup defies centuries of tradition when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon. Their unlikely bond reveals the true nature of dragons, challenging the very foundations of Viking society.

If you’ve watched the original film, you’ll know that the live-action film takes a lot of visual cues from the animation. The dragon pit pretty much looks the same, as well as Hiccup’s moment with Toothless where the dragon lets him touch its nose.

With the original movie already being a spectacle by itself though, I’m curious if the live-action film has anything new to bring to the table. Sure a lot of the dragons look more detailed, but is there anything new to bring to the table storywise?

Maybe they can set-up characters like Hiccup’s mother and other franchise villains earlier, but I’m really hoping they go a different direction with the third film because that honestly could have been brushed up more storywise.

Dragons will soar in theatres when How to Train Your Dragon comes to cinemas on June 13.

Check this out:

Though it does sound pretty ridiculous that Steve would be a child who was willing to go into mines, this was actually a reference to a 2022 meme satirizing the abolition of child labour as Minecraft proved that ‘The children yearn for the mines.’

Besides that, the movie does have a lot of Easter Eggs which only actual Minecraft players would be able to spot out like the different characters that you can meet in the Overworld and even the Crafting Table where Steve creates weapons.

I do have to admit, I’m not the biggest fan of the hyper-realistic look for a lot of the Overworld. I would have loved it if they just stuck to the low-poly textures that were signature to a game like Minecraft.

Here’s the official description for the film:

Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn’t just help you craft, it’s essential to one’s survival! Four misfits—Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers) and Dawn (Brooks)—find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative…the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world.

Catch A Minecraft Movie when it comes to cinemas on April 4, 2025.

According to Deadline, Turner is currently in talks to star as Lara Croft in yet another adaptation of the hit video game franchise Tomb Raider. The series is being developed over at Amazon MG Studios, and they’ve tapped Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge to develop the show.

Admittedly, the last successful adaptations of Tomb Raider were the Angelina Jolie films, and even those fizzled out at the box office. The last stab at a live-action version of Lara came out in 2018 with Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina) playing the lead.

There’s also the animated series that released on Netflix recently:

We don’t know much about the new series yet, but it’s said that the series is aiming to be ‘epic’ in scale with the promise of a globe-trotting adventure. Though I would prefer Waller-Bridge to just gives us shows about socially (and sexually) awkward adult women, I’m interested to see how she could tackle a franchise like Tomb Raider; maybe she picked up a thing or two while she was working on the last Indiana Jones film.

As for Turner, I’ll admit, I only ever noticed her play Sansa Stark for a long while, and the only other memorable role for her that I can remember is her short cameo in Do Revenge where she goes on an epic rant about cocaine:

I don’t imagine her Lara would have that energy, but she’s sure welcome to surprise me.

No release date has been set for the upcoming Tomb Raider adaptation from Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

The story is set to close with Act 3 this weekend, and we have a sneak peek for the big closer of the series. Check this out:

The Act 2 finale ended with a huge cliffhanger, but it does look like a lot of things are going to be picked up immediately. For one, even thought Jayce seemingly killed Viktor, it looks like he’s still figuring out how the ‘Machine Herald’ fit into all this arcane chaos. It also looks like Vi is once again trying to convince Jinx to come to her side; and fans expect Jinx to be at a new low especially since she lost her only family left, Isha.

The second act was completely devoid of Heimerdinger and Ekko, so fans are expecting them to reappear immediately with the start of Act 3. Some fans are even convinced that after Ekko’s experience with the arcane, it’s possible that he comes back with time-travelling powers, and he could use them to stop the murder of Viktor and hopefully the death of Isha.

Though it’s sad to think an amazing show is ending, Riot is looking to tell more stories in Runeterra outside of the conflict between Piltover and Zaun. They can move forward and back with the timeline, but for now it looks like they’re closing the book with this era of characters.

Act 3 of Arcane Season 2 comes out on Netflix Nov. 23.

Just in, Empire has dropped a new look at Leto in costume, and we get a little more details about the upcoming sequel. Check this out:

Though it is disappointing that Daft Punk won’t be reuniting to provide the soundtrack, this film has managed to tap Nine Inch Nails to provide the songs this time around. Director Joachim Rønning explains:

“With Nine Inch Nails making the music, this instalment will be a little grittier, a little bit more industrial… It’s been important for me to contrast The Grid and the real world. In that sense, Nine Inch Nails lends itself perfectly into this new Tron world that we are creating.”

Just in case you weren’t familiar with the band, here’s one of their songs that sounds like it would very much jive with the overall mood of Tron:

It’s unclear what the story of Ares will be, but it’s said that it will be drawing from the original plans for Tron: Ascension which has something to do with the Grid coming to the ‘real world’. Leto is said to be playing Ares, a program that comes to our world and realizes that he doesn’t want to help destroy it. Rønning describes the theme of the film, “What I always look for in any story is a strong emotional core… This film will probably be more emotional than people are expecting. It’s about the cost of being human.”

Tron: Ares is set to come out in theatres on Oct. 10, 2025.

Talking to IGN, Gunn confirms, “The truth is almost all of Peacemaker is canon with the exception of Justice League… which we will kind of deal with in the next season of Peacemaker.” We don’tknow how specifically Gunn is going to deal with that, but I do have a feeling that maybe it’s just going to involve a throw-away gag where someone misremembers the Justice League arriving, and someone brushes it off like the Mandela Effect.

For now, the official canon of the DCU is set to begin with the animated Creature Commandos. While events from The Suicide Squad are still up in the air when it comes to the timeline, Gunn confirms, “…in Creature Commandos, you’ll hear them talk about things that happened in [The] Suicide Squad or Peacemaker… Well then, those things automatically become canon.”

Nobody knows how Gunn is going to approach this new timeline, but I’m starting to get the feeling that he’s just going to loosely pick and choose what he wants to keep from the DCEU and just never mention anything that he doesn’t want to keep.

This should be annoying for anyone who cares about consistency in the entire timeline, but at this point, fans are essentially just worrying about nothing. Until something officially comes out, all fans can really do is speculate.

The second season of Peacemaker is expected to premiere sometime next year.

Check this video out:

From a single Vibranium meteorite, Wakanda rose to greatness. Now, at the heart of the galaxy, they’ve uncovered the homeland of that very mound.

But no matter how far it’s technology advances, Wakanda’s strength will always be its people.

Though Wakanda is considered a secret nation in multiple versions of the Marvel Universe, this one goes the opposite and gives the Wakandans an actual empire built on the original source of Vibranium.

Black Panther is the last character Marvel fans would think would cross over with space, but Marvel’s. What If…? gave us a look at a T’Challa variant that would become Star-Lord in his alternate reality.

We don’t know the backstory of this Wakanda in Marvel Rivals yet, but the title pretty much explains the whole ‘alternate reality’-ness of it. I’m just interested to see what kind of Black Panther this Wakanda has spawned. Though I expect him to be a benevolent leader, I’m not opposed to mirror versions of a character that somehow became evil because of different circumstances—just like what they did with DC’s Flashpoint Paradox.

Marvel Rivals launches on Dec. 6 for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC.

According to insider Daniel RPK (via @cosmic_marvel), the live-action Hercules, like Maleficent and Cruella, will be focusing entirely on the villain and will be titled Hades; this time around, the movie will now focus on telling the story from the perspective of the God of the Underworld.

As someone whose favourite movie was Hercules as a kid, I can get the choice to focus on Hades. After all, he is the most unique character to come out of that movie. Instead of the usual evil Disney villain, Hades was more of a fast-talking used car salesman. James Woods apparently loved working on the character so much, he didn’t even mind reprising Disney’s Hades whenever he showed up in other properties.

With the focus on Hades though, there is a chance that fans won’t be able to get the classic Disney songs from the original movie—which is probably crucial to the selling point of the remake.

Maybe this could be an origin story like Cruella where it focuses on Hades’ relationship with Zeus and the other gods before Herc came along—but we already have Percy Jackson and the Olympians for all that drama.

Then again, this is just a rumor, so take it with a grain of salt for now.

No release date has been announced for the live-action Hercules.

Talking to Digital Spy, Reeves confirms that Batman’s absence in the show was due to the Dark Knight going through an existential crisis after his clash with the Riddler. “This was a time of great turmoil in the city, it’s literally the week after what happened… Much of the city is in desperation, so police can’t get everywhere, there’s crime everywhere, it’s a very, very dangerous time,” Reeves says, “[Batman’s] out there trying to grapple with the aftermath of everything that happened, which to some degree he blames himself for.”

Reeves confirmed by the time the sequel starts, Bruce would find it “very hard to be Batman”. 

From a practical standpoint, Reeves and Penguin showrunner Lauren LeFranc have confirmed that they couldn’t include Batman in the story without him overshadowing several of the main players including Oz and Sofia. While there were discussions of how they could get him to appear, they ultimately decided on just flashing the Batsignal at the very end of the first season.

The series has undoubtedly had a stellar run, but just like HBO’s Watchmen, a second season isn’t going to happen unless Reeves and LeFranc find a story worth telling with the character. If anything, a second season could follow after the events of The Batman Part II, but I would rather just shift the focus on another Gotham villain—maybe a side character introduced in Part II.

For now, The Batman Part II is aiming for a release sometime in 2026. Catch the complete Penguin now streaming on Max.

Back when the ‘Wednesday Dance’ went viral in 2022, edits of Jenna Ortega dancing in the show included the music of Lady Gaga—specifically a remix of her Bloody Mary. The meme was repeated by millions, and it looks like the show is ready to reward fans with a crazy crossover.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the second season of Wednesday has added Lady Gaga to the cast. No explanation has been explained as to the size of Gaga’s role in the show, but it’s definitely a guest role that was meant for the show, seeing that Gaga’s brand of monstrous fashion fits right into the world of Wednesday.

If I were to make a guess, it’s possible that Gaga could just be playing a musical number in another dance scene, but if they really wanted her to make an impact, maybe they can include her as a member of the Addams Family. She may be too young to play Grandma Addams, but I can imagine her playing a secret role in the form of Cousin Itt who looks weird enough for Gaga to add some kind of twist to the character.

Originally Itt was a male in the Addams lore, but I can see them retooling the character to be someone with hair long enough to cover their whole body.

No release date has been set for the next season of Wednesday, but fans are hoping for a 2025 premiere.

In a recent interview with Today (via @_ChristopherM), Denzel Washington went over some of his incoming projects, and he mentioned, “… Ryan Coogler’s writing a part for me in the next Black Panther.”

So, Denzel Washington said he's got a role in #BlackPanther3…so much for that insane Dormammu/DOCTOR STRANGE 3 rumor that never made sense. pic.twitter.com/jxFIQvCnN1

— Christopher Marc (@_ChristopherM) November 12, 2024

It’s too early to find out who Washington could play, but some speculate that he could be playing the part of the first-ever Black Panther in a flashback. Washington is also diverse enough that he could play an intimidating villain.

By the end of Wakanda Forever, Shuri keeps the mantle of Black Panther, but she hands over the ruling powers to M’Baku (Winston Duke). It’s also been revealed that T’Challa actually had a son with Nakia (also named T’Challa), and some are guessing that he could be the lead of the future Black Panther movies.

With so much time between Wakanda Forever and the next film, T’Challa II could very well be a Miles Morales-age Black Panther if they decide refocus the story around him. As of now, there hasn’t been any update with Shuri’s character, and there have been reports that there was a little trouble with Letitia Wright when  production was ongoing for the last film.

The way things look BP3 could be aiming for a release after Secret Wars, but hopefully Ryan Coogler makes an official update soon.

No release date has been set for Black Panther 3, but you can catch Denzel Washington in Gladiator II which hits theaters on Nov. 22.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Rey’s current status in the franchise as a whole is said to be integral to what Lucasfilm is currently planning. A source close to the production had said, “She is the most valuable cinematic asset, in some ways maybe the only one, Star Wars has right now.” It’s also been confirmed that Rey Skywalker is expected to appear in multiple movies—not just the film being directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy.

We know that Simon Kinberg has also recently signed on with Lucasfilm to develop a new trilogy for Star Wars, but it’s unclear if his movies are going to be the continuation of the main Skywalker Saga or something else entirely. With Lucasfilm announcing the involvement of creatives then seemingly firing them—like what happened with Damon Lindelof, Stephen Knight, Taika Waititi, and Patty Jenkins—fans are undoubtedly sceptical about Kinberg and whether he would be allowed to actually finish what he started out to make.

Personally, I’m still waiting on that Rian Johnson trilogy because The Last Jedi to me was honestly the last real swing that Star Wars had in terms of story. The rest just feels like nostalgia bait, and it’s been going on for years.

For now, fans are hoping that production will finally start with the Rey Skywalker movie next year. No release date has been announced though.

In a recent Q&A with reporters (via IGN), HBO head Casey Bloys was asked just how involved Rowling would be in the upcoming Potter reboot, to which he says, “She’s been fairly involved… She was very involved in the process of selecting the writer and director, and I imagine she’ll have opinions on casting. It hasn’t affected the casting or hiring of writers and production staff. So we haven’t felt an impact from that.”

With Rowling now being such a controversial figure, Bloys had previously mentioned about the Potter reboot, “Our priority is what’s on the screen. Obviously, the Harry Potter story is incredibly affirmative and positive and about love and self-acceptance. That’s our priority — what’s on screen.”

Though some fans argue that a Potter reboot simply isn’t necessary, this reboot is said to be a more faithful adaptation of the books, and with the more generous television format, there is now more room for scenes that had to be deleted from the films like Norbert the dragon escaping Hogwarts to the actual match at the Quidditch World Cup.

Of course, there are some concerns with the shift to television—like the quality of the VFX from episode to episode; but I’m honestly more concerned about the kids who will have to commit maybe 10 years of their lives making this show. Even Emma Watson almost quit the franchise around the time of Prisoner of Azkaban.

For now, the series is still in development, and production is expected to start sometime next year.

The movie is set to come out by the end of the month, and we have the first trailer. Check this out:

Here’s the summary for the film:

In the most unlikely of places, four siblings find a loving shelter in an unexpected turn of circumstances. This endearing comedy-drama draws inspiration from actual events and deftly crafts a gripping story that unites everyone.

It’s been a while since Stiller has starred in a screwball comedy, but that was basically his genre with films like Meet the Parents and Zoolander. Though Nutcrackers does look like his old brand of film, it does feel like the movie is going to have that very emotional center—what with Stiller’s character obviously not wanting anything to do with kids, but is somehow forced into parenting four strange children.

With Stiller being so focused on directing lately, I’ll admit I was kind of missing him in front of the camera. While I do love his artsy films with Noah Baumbach, classic comedy Stiller is still fun to watch, and he plays the neurotic weirdo who does slapstick so well even after all these years.

Hopefully Nutcrackers becomes must-see holiday movie this year, because things have honestly started looking pretty bleak as January draws nearer.

Catch Nutcrackers when it premieres on Hulu on Nov. 29.

With another season underway, and GRRM being clear with his displeasure with some of showrunner Ryan Condal’s decisions, HBO head Casey Bloys tells Deadline about the current state of the series relationship with Martin. He explains:

“He’s very important to me, to us… But when we put shows together, it’s like putting a marriage together. Marriages can be difficult, especially when Ryan Condal is making creative decisions and adapting work. It can be fraught. Any marriage can get rocky. I would prefer everybody get along, of course. But with the creative process, we are always going to have bumps. That’s to be expected.”

In Martin’s deleted post about House of the Dragon, he had complained about the omission of Maelor Targaryen, who was supposed to be present in the scene where Jaehaerys was beheaded. In Martin’s rant, he said that removing the character would possibly result in several moments in the story to be changed in the context; and there are story moments that he thinks would not make sense if certain events didn’t happen.

GRRM’s blog on HOTD is out, and he is NOT happy. pic.twitter.com/UILFedmIcJ

It’s crazy because this is only a fraction of what Martin was allegedly complaining about when it came to House of the Dragon; and fans can only imagine what else issues he had with the second season.

Personally, I thought there was a lot to enjoy about the series, and it’s nowhere near as bad as the final season of Game of Thrones. The character arcs still feel pretty solid, and the spectacle is definitely still there.

Hopefully the third season manages to mend the divide between Martin and Condal. But even if that was the case, I’m sure there are already several toxic fans and grafters who are ready to tune in every week and make hours of hate content for the show.

No release date has been set for the next season of House of the Dragon, but a 2026 premiere could be realistic.

In a new teaser dropped for 2025 content, Disney gives a look at highly anticipated series like The Bear Season 4, Andor Season 2, Ironheart, and Daredevil: Born Again. Check this out:

Other series that got a look include Paradise, Goosebumps: The Vanishing, Alien: Earth, Chad Powers, Good American Family, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and the final season of Handmaid’s Tale.

Admittedly, Disney+ hasn’t been doing so hot this year. Though there were people who loved The Acolyte as it was coming out, the show apparently didn’t generate enough interest for the studio to greenlight a second season. Agatha All Along was a critical hit among the gay audiences, but reports are also coming out that the series didn’t gather enough viewers during its run as well.

If anything, Disney still has the licenses for the biggest IP like Marvel and Star Wars, and properties coming out next year are sure to be major draws. I just hope they manage to keep the quality up when it comes to writing; I cannot stand another season of Ahsoka just waiting for familiar characters to show-up and expecting the audience to clap.

At least we still have Andor. Fingers crossed Imperial cadet Han Solo shows up.

Disney+ is now available in select countries.

Probably one of the biggest moments in the series was Oz killing his protégé Vic, who he had been bringing up throughout the entire season. But despite Vic’s loyalty, it seems that Oz had grown attached to him—resulting to him… killing Vic?

It’s definitely one of the worst things that Oz has done in the show, but a lot of fans think that it was all set up from the beginning. Talking to Entertainment Weekly, The Batman director Matt Reeves explained:

“It’s not about how he’s killing Vic because he thinks Vic failed him, or someone manipulated him… He’s killing him because he can’t bear the fact that he actually does have that closeness with this kid, because that makes him weak. He’s basically trying to strangle his vulnerability.” 

Every fans’ jaw had collectively dropped when Oz got rid of Vic in the last few minutes of the show; but it was admittedly impressive how the series was able to make Oz likeable from the beginning only to have it slowly revealed that he was a sad psychopath toward the final episodes.

We don’t know what else is in store for Oz in this timeline, but it does seem he’s going to be having some political aspirations. Some speculate that he could end up being Gotham’s mayor by the third movie, but we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

In the meantime, fans can check out the complete season of The Penguin now streaming on Max.

Albus Dumbledore looms over the entire Potter series, and Variety reports that Mark Rylance (BFG, Ready Player One) is being eyed to play the Hogwarts headmaster. No deal has apparently been made, but WB is said to have already reached out to ‘gauge interest and availability’.

So far, the role of Dumbledore has been played by Richard Harris, Michael Gambon in the Potter movies, and most recently Jude Law in the Fantastic Beasts films. Richard Harris’ son Jared Harris (Chernobyl) was asked if he was interested in taking on the role, but he said that he didn’t think a reboot was needed for the series.

Going back to Rylance though, it does seem like he’s perfect for the part. Though Dumbledore is known to be a very wizened character, it’s still essential that he comes off as kind of goofy and aloof—and Rylance has played those kinds of characters before.

Admittedly, the films never really seemed to nail how odd Dumbledore was and he was just kept incredibly serious (but gentle) in the latter films.

If Max is going the reboot route, I guess I would want them to make it as unique from the original films as possible, and a Rylance Dumbledore could be the first key.

Hopefully we get an official update soon. The Potter reboot is yet to have a release date.

According to The Independent, a representative from HBO has confirmed that the series isn’t dead and “Euphoria is going into production in 2025. Nothing has changed.” A third season had been greenlit way back in 2022, but because of the writers’ strike and several issues with show creator Sam Levinson, the third season hasn’t managed to get off the ground.

If anything, it wouldn’t be a total surprise if the third season got cancelled. Besides all the complaints about Levinson’s work ethic and behaviour on set, several main actors in the series have only gotten more famous since the last season. Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Hunter Schafer, and Jacob Elordi have come out to be rising stars, and everyone is worried that they won’t manage to be free by the time Euphoria Season 3 starts production.

Can they even still play convincing high schoolers?

A rumor has suggested a time skip for whole timeline, and it’s interesting to see what could change. I’ll admit, being in high school is only half the drama of the show, but it feels like something is going to be lost when everyone makes the shift from teen to young adult.

If anything, as long as the vibes are right, I’m sure Euphoria 3 is still going to be a jam. In the meantime, the series still has no set release date on HBO yet.
