Matt and Ross Duffer, the creators of Stranger Things, recently discussed the show’s final season with Entertainment Weekly. They revealed that the first episodes will begin airing at the end of November and talked about storylines they previously decided to scrap. Matt Duffer mentioned that they once planned to kill off a significant character, stating:
Previously, The Young People had already cast Tatiana Maslany, known for Orphan Black, and Nico Parker from How to Train Your Dragon. Now, Nicole Kidman is joining the project, marking her return to the horror genre for the first time since the 2001 film The Others, directed by Alejandro Amenábar. Details about the plot of The Young People haven’t been revealed yet.
According to Variety, Netflix has officially approved a sequel to A Different World, and original stars Kadeem Hardison and Jasmine Guy will return to their roles.
Earlier this year, Johansson noted that Bailey is “bright and fully present,” appreciating his emotional range and down-to-earth personality. However, when asked about his reputation for being warm and approachable, the Wicked: For Good cast member subtly disagreed. He recently told Esquire magazine:
Hitting theaters on September 6, 2013, Riddick is currently the third most popular movie on the free streaming platform, Tubi. It featured Diesel reprising his role of the titular anti-hero made famous in Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick. This time around he was joined by the likes of Katee Sackhoff, Dave Bautista, Karl Urban, Jordi Mollà, and Matt Nable. Produced for $38 million (the bulk of which was funded by Diesel himself), the sequel managed to take in $98 million at the box office, making it a modest hit. Unlike its more ambitious predecessor, Riddick returned the franchise to its roots with a stripped-down survival story that once again reminded fans why Diesel’s morally gray hero became such an icon. The official synopsis reads:
Details about Avengers: Doomsday are scarce, but Stan is among the confirmed cast members. The Russo Brothers are directing again, and given the high number of character deaths in Infinity War and Endgame, fans are speculating about who might not survive this time. Stan recently discussed this period in the Marvel Cinematic Universe during an appearance on the Stronger podcast, saying:
The new film from Perkins—his fourth project with Neon—will star Lola Tung, known from The Summer I Turned Pretty, and Nico Parker, of How to Train Your Dragon. Joining them are Nicole Kidman, along with Brendan Hines, Cush Jumbo, Heather Graham, Johnny Knoxville, Lexi Minetree, Lily Collias, and Tatiana Maslany, who has worked with Perkins on previous films.
Rhea Seehorn’s character, Carol Sturka, has quickly become the most compelling hero of the series. What sets her apart from other survivors is that she’s completely alone in navigating this new, post-apocalyptic world. While others have loved ones to lean on, Carol lost Helen, the most important person in her life.
Several actors who previously appeared in Marvel projects—including Nathan Fillion, Sean Gunn, David Harbour, and Michael Rooker—are now working on DC films and shows. This trend suggests we might see more Marvel stars playing key villains in the DC Universe, potentially even iconic characters like Reverse-Flash. Currently, fan art is circulating that depicts a popular Marvel actor taking on the role of this Flash villain.
Predator: Badlands offers a fresh take on the Predator franchise. Director Dan Trachtenberg, known for Prey and Predator: Killer of Killers, introduces Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi), a young and less experienced Predator who must prove his worth. He’s sent to a particularly dangerous planet to hunt a terrifying creature. This film gives us the first-ever Predator seen from its own perspective – something the original Alien vs. Predator briefly hinted at – and reveals a completely new side to these formidable hunters.
