Thandiwe Newton – Geekfeed https://www.geekfeed.com Entertainment News, Celebrities and Fandoms Mon, 29 Apr 2024 10:29:50 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://www.geekfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/cropped-Geekfeed-Favicon-White-32x32.png Thandiwe Newton – Geekfeed https://www.geekfeed.com 32 32 Wednesday Season 2 Casts Westworld’s Thandiwe Newton https://www.geekfeed.com/wednesday-season-2-casts-thandiwe-newton/ Mon, 29 Apr 2024 10:29:50 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=82130 She may not be coming back for another season of Westworld, but Thandiwe Newton has found herself cast in another mega franchise for Netflix.

According to Variety, Newton has been cast in the second season of Wednesday, the Addams Family spinoff starring Jenna Ortega. No details have been revealed about who Newton would be playing, but we do know that she is joining the cast alongside Steve Buscemi (Boardwalk Empire) who is also coming onboard this season.

With the death of Gwendoline Christie’s character Larissa Weems by the end of the first season, it’s possible that either Newton or Buscemi could be playing a character who will be taking over as the head of Nevermore Academy. Though I think that Buscemi could definitely play the principal of goth Hogwarts, it’s likely he could be introduced as another member of the Addams Family—Cousin Itt; he has a distinctive enough voice, and we should expect to see more of Wednesday’s quirky family as the show goes on.

Going back to Newton though, the series is going to need someone to fill in the imposing hole that Christie has left in the series, and I can see Newton very much filling it. She was such a powerhouse performer in Westworld, and Wednesday may not be as cerebral, but there’s definitely room for Newton to show off her chops.

No release date has been announced for the second season of Wednesday, but you can catch the first season now on Netflix.

]]> Westworld 4 Set Photos Reveal Return of Evan Rachel Wood https://www.geekfeed.com/westworld-4-set-photos-reveal-return-of-evan-rachel-wood/ Thu, 07 Oct 2021 19:50:41 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=61874 The last season of Westworld had Dolores Abernathy (Evan Rachel Wood) getting ‘deleted’ but since this is a world full of robots and duplicates, it was probably expected that she would return for the next season. That being said, some set photos from Westworld 4 have leaked online, and they feature Wood clad in her Dolores gear, except now her hair is brown.

Though the show had started with characters trapped in the Westworld park, the third season now has the hosts interacting with the human world, and Dolores becomes an integral part in the ‘freedom’ of humanity from the algorithm Rehoboam. We don’t know how she could return, but as I said, this world is full of copy-paste robots and prograns; what are the odds that this version of Dolores is some kind of copy, maybe she’s not even Dolores and another consciousness in her body.

Besides Dolores, the show has raised some questions for other characters in the show. We get to watch William get his throat cut by a copy of himself, and we also get to see Bernard entering the Sublime—waking up in what looks to be years into the future. We don’t know what the result of humanity’s freedom is going to be, but with a show like Westworld, it’s probably not going to be pretty. Then again, maybe showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy would like to delve into a more positive note moving forward.

No release date has been set for Westworld 4, but you can catch the first three seasons on HBO Max now.
