As expected, a change in leadership at Lucasfilm led to a shift in priorities. Planning for a successor began in January 2024, which explains why previously announced projects, including a film centered on Rey and her New Jedi Order, were put on hold. In fact, none of the films announced in 2023 are currently moving forward. Kathleen Kennedy, the outgoing president, recently indicated that James Mangold’s “Dawn of the Jedi” is delayed, and Dave Filoni’s movie has also been shelved now that he’s become co-president alongside Lynwen Brennan. Despite these changes, however, a film featuring Rey’s return still seems likely.

Adapting DC’s long and complex history for the screen is challenging, but the new DC Universe (DCU) seems to be laying the groundwork for a significant villain. Ahead of the upcoming Mister Miracle show, creator Tom King confirmed that Darkseid is being cast as a character in the series. In an interview with Wordballoon, King explained that Mister Miracle will have a large impact on the overall DCU and that they’ve officially cast Darkseid. Given James Gunn’s statements about animated voice actors reprising their roles in live-action, this casting suggests Darkseid will likely become a major player in the DCU’s future.

In a January 2025 blog post, Sony announced that PS4 games will become less common as perks for PlayStation Plus members.
