In a recent Variety interview, director Gillespie shared that the new movie will focus on Kara Zor-El (played by Milly Alcock) as an “anti-hero,” delving into her personal struggles and contrasting her journey with that of Superman, the only other Kryptonian we know.
Now, I know this is a hot take. Trust me, I’ve watched the Byler edits on TikTok, and I’ve seen the astounding support Mileven gets from fans. The debates are always sloshing around my social media too, as one side defends Mike and Eleven’s relationship while the other hopes for Will and Mike to be together. However, I’ve come up with three reasons why neither couple should happen, so let’s discuss.
Season 28 of South Park focused more on new characters than on bringing back guest stars. The season’s satire targeted the Trump administration, specifically mocking Pete Hegseth and Kristi Noem. Hegseth was portrayed as incompetent, and Noem was depicted as someone cruel who harmed dogs.
There’s plenty of evidence suggesting The Lord of the Rings is actually a Christmas franchise. A big part of its appeal likely comes from the fact that all three movies were originally released in mid-December. For three years in a row – 2001, 2002, and 2003 – fans looked forward to seeing Peter Jackson’s latest installment during the holiday season. But that’s not the only reason.
The film Ella McCay, set in 2008, features Emma Mackey (known from Sex Education) as the unexpectedly appointed governor. The story follows her as she deals with the difficulties of the job, including a possible scandal and an accidental encounter with her brother’s marijuana edibles. Critic Nick Schager of The Daily Beast compares it unfavorably to other work by the director, calling it “as bad as it gets” and suggesting that its witlessness is more memorable than the film’s overall lack of appeal and overly sentimental idealism.
Even though the first season of The Night Manager was popular and well-received, it’s taken a full decade for a second season to finally come together.
A recent report has confirmed the appearance of the Amanin in The Mandalorian & Grogu. Star Wars Insider, issue 235, reveals that the cobra-like alien featured in the trailer is an Amani – a species not seen in a Star Wars film for over 40 years. These reptilian aliens were previously seen among the bounty hunters at Jabba’s palace in Episode VI, but haven’t appeared in official Star Wars stories since.
Xolo Maridueña, famous for his roles in Cobra Kai and Blue Beetle, has sparked excitement among fans with a recent Instagram post. The photo, showing him shirtless on a mountaintop with imagery reminiscent of the character Ace, strongly suggests he’ll be playing Luffy’s brother in Season 3 of the live-action One Piece series, which is currently being filmed. The timing of the post has fueled the speculation.
Final cut – the ability to have the final say on how a film is edited – is very rare, and typically only granted to highly respected directors like James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, and the Coen Brothers. However, even these directors don’t have complete control. Studios can step in and take over if a film goes over budget, runs too long, or takes too much time to make.
Even if historical TV shows aren’t always 100% factually correct, they can still be incredibly insightful, especially when they help us understand what life was like in the past or why people acted the way they did. While many historical dramas focus on England or the United States, captivating stories can come from anywhere, as the recent Emmy win for Shōgun in 2024 clearly demonstrates.
