Variety reports that the G.I. Joe movie script John Landis was developing has been shelved. This came as a surprise, as abandoning a potentially very successful franchise is unusual for a studio. Sources haven’t shared specific reasons why Paramount and Hasbro decided to stop production.
During the 1930s and 40s, there weren’t many strong roles for women in movies, so the most celebrated Oscar wins usually went to the actresses playing the main characters.

This meant that attention wasn’t limited to lead actresses, and supporting actresses finally began to receive recognition for their work.
Similar to the classic detective show Columbo, each episode of Poker Face unfolds like a self-contained mystery. Fans of Agatha Christie will also recognize familiar elements in the series. Created by the director of Knives Out, Rian Johnson, Poker Face offers a fresh take on the murder mystery genre on television.
Playing Dungeons & Dragons is a key part of the characters’ lives in Stranger Things from the start. The storylines of their D&D games, called ‘campaigns,’ often reflect what’s happening to them in the real world, especially when they fight monsters from the Upside Down. Many of the creatures they face – like mind flayers, demogorgons, and Vecna – come directly from the D&D rulebook. Interestingly, despite the game’s overall importance to the show, it’s a single episode featuring Ted, titled “Dungeons & Dealers,” that best shows what it’s really like to play D&D.

Okay, so this show definitely exists within the same universe as the MCU, which means you’re going to recognize a lot of faces. We’re seeing versions of heroes we already know and love pop up all over the place. While characters like Pearl Pangan and Amadeus Cho are clearly being set up for bigger things, they haven’t fully become the heroes we expect yet. But trust me, it’s brimming with comic book characters – everything from major players to some smaller, but still awesome, heroes. Even Spider-Man’s involved, which is always a plus!
