I was surprised when Jeremy Allen White was announced to play Rotta, Jabba the Hutt’s son, because it seemed odd to cast a well-known actor for a character that’s usually just a creature. Seeing his incredibly muscular build was confusing, but after looking into it, the casting choice actually makes a lot of sense.
In the movie *Superman*, Superman’s biological parents, Jor-El (played by Bradley Cooper) and Lara, aren’t portrayed as purely heroic figures. Initially, Superman believes they sent him to Earth to be a helper, but a message accompanying him later reveals their true intention: for him to *rule* over Earth. Director James Gunn, in commentary exclusive to the iTunes version of the film, notes that he isn’t the first to depict Superman’s parents with less-than-noble motives.
The trailer for the highly anticipated *Wolverine* game is finally here, giving PlayStation 5 players a first glimpse at Insomniac’s new Marvel title. Fans are thrilled with the footage, which is action-packed, violent, and visually stunning. The trailer shows Wolverine using his claws to fight enemies, features a scary appearance by Omega Red, and includes a surprising cameo from Mystique.
These ratings look good, especially considering that two large broadcasting companies, Nexstar and Sinclair, are still refusing to air Kimmel’s show in many areas. Disney is emphasizing that these numbers prove Kimmel is essential to late-night TV, even when his show isn’t available to viewers in numerous cities.
Now that both *28 Days Later* and its upcoming sequel, *28 Years Later*, are available on Netflix, I revisited the original zombie film and was reminded of how much I enjoy a surprisingly lighthearted scene. It’s a moment with no zombies or suspense, just pure, simple fun.
The popular TV show *Downton Abbey* concluded in 2015 after six seasons, but the story continued with three subsequent films. With the upcoming release of *Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale* in 2025, many believe this beloved historical drama has reached its end. However, the show’s creator, Julian Fellowes, has hinted at a possible return for the franchise and explained why the series never explored the events of World War II.
The next installment in James Cameron’s Avatar series, titled Avatar: Fire and Ash, is scheduled to hit US theaters this December. Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldaña will return as Jake Sully and Neytiri in this new sequel.
Last year, Michael Weatherly, the star and executive producer of NCIS: Tony & Ziva, mentioned that Tony and Ziva’s daughter, Tali, would be central to the plot. While we’ve seen young Tali in flashbacks, we haven’t seen much of Isla Gie’s portrayal of the present-day character since the show’s beginning. That changed with the premiere of “We’ve Got Company” on Paramount+, and now I think I understand how she played a role in her parents’ separation.
Fans recently noticed The Watcher appearing in the background of Marvel Zombies and shared their discovery on X (formerly Twitter). One user, @syriangeekvibes, posted a screenshot and asked how many others had spotted him watching the events unfold.
The trailer doesn’t feature every major Wolverine enemy – we don’t see Sabretooth or Silver Samurai, though they could still appear in the final game.
