NETFLIX DROPS TRAILER FOR THE WITCHER SEASON 409/14/25 @ 1:35 pm EST
Source: YouTube | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a CommentNetflix has just unveiled the trailer for Season 4 of
The Witcher and set to premiere date to be October 30, 2025. The most significant change this season is the introduction of
Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia, taking over the role from
Henry Cavill. The trailer gives us our first glimpse of Hemsworth in action, showcasing his portrayal of the iconic monster hunter. In the teaser, Geralt is seen battling a wraith, a classic monster from the Witcher universe, using his usual mix of swordplay and magic. The storyline for Season 4 picks up after the events of Season 3, with Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri separated by a raging war and countless enemies. As their paths diverge, they encounter unexpected allies and face new challenges that test their limits. The official synopsis hints at divided paths and the discovery of new allies, setting the stage for an epic journey. In addition to Hemsworth, the cast includes returning favorites such as
Anya Chalotra as Yennefer,
Freya Allan as Ciri, and
Joey Batey as Jaskier. New cast members include
Laurence Fishburne as Regis, a mysterious and world-wise barber-surgeon who joins Geralt on his journey. The fourth season will consist of eight episodes, all dropping on October 30. This season is also notable for being the penultimate chapter of the series, with the fifth and final season already in production.
CON O'NEILL TALKS SUPERMAN, BATMAN AND BOOSTER GOLD09/14/25 @ 12:59 pm EST
Source: Feature First | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a CommentConventions can be great places to get quotes on the latest movies and shows in production.
Zanda Gubecka of
FeatureFirst.Net used their time at the OZ Comic Con in Brisbane this year to chat up actor
Con O’Neill about all things DC. While Con is a distinguished actor with a long list of credits, the two roles he may be best known for right now are Chief Mackenzie Bock in the
Batman Epic Crime Saga and as Izzy Hands on
Our Flag Means Death. He first spoke about
David Jenkins, the creator of OFMD and who is attached as the showrunner for the upcoming
Booster Gold series, praising the writer as a kind man and a creative who the world so desperately needs. O’Neill said Jenkins is the type of guy that likes writing and developing nuanced stories that understand the human experience by promoting positivity. Similar to how the actor saw the newest
Superman movie, praising it for its portrayal of the titular character and the promotion of kindness. He also had a message to those who call out that portrayal as wrong, saying “There are people who think Superman shouldn’t be kind like that. F*** those people.” Then moving over to his role in The Batman and The Penguin and where he’d like to see Bock go, O’Neill joked, “I love Bock. Matt Reeves and Matt Reeves’ mind is unquestionably one of the most extraordinary places I’ve been invited into. So wherever I thought or think Bock should be, it isn’t going to be what Bock will be. So I’d just go by the genius of Matt Reeves. I mean… the man is a fucking genius. If you haven’t seen Matt Reeves’ other films… Watch them! They’re fucking awesome.”
ERIC KRIPKE UPDATES FANS ON THE BOYS: MEXICO09/13/25 @ 1:15 pm EST
Source: Deadline | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a CommentEric Kripke, the creator and showrunner of the hit series "
The Boys," recently shared an exciting update about the highly anticipated spin-off, "
The Boys: Mexico." In a recent interview, Kripke revealed that the pilot for "
The Boys: Mexico" is currently in development and described the project as "super fun" with a "totally different tone" compared to the original series. Kripke emphasized that while the new spin-off will exist within the same universe as "
The Boys," it will offer a unique perspective and style. He praised the involvement of executive producers
Gael García Bernal and
Diego Luna, noting that they are deeply engaged with the project. The script for the pilot, penned by
Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer, is reportedly "good," and Kripke expressed confidence in its potential. "
The Boys: Mexico" was first announced in 2023, and the series is expected to film in Mexico, though specific plot details remain under wraps. Bernal and Luna, who are longtime friends and collaborators, may also appear in the series, albeit in smaller roles. This new spin-off is part of a broader expansion of "
The Boys" universe, which includes other projects like "
Gen V," "
Vought Rising," and the animated series "
The Boys Presents: Diabolical”. With "
The Boys" preparing to wrap up its fifth and final season in 2026, "
The Boys: Mexico" represents a significant step in continuing the franchise's legacy and exploring new narratives within its satirical superhero world.
SEAN ASTIN ELECTED PRESIDENT OF SAG-AFTRA09/13/25 @ 12:38 pm EST

The Lord of the Rings," "
Stranger Things," and "
Rudy," has been elected as the new president of SAG-AFTRA, the union representing approximately 160,000 actors, announcers, broadcast journalists, dancers, DJs, program hosts, recording artists, and other entertainment and media professionals . Astin, who is the son of the late Academy Award-winning actress
Patty Duke, succeeds
Fran Drescher, who served as the union's president for four years . Astin's election marks a significant moment for the union, as he received an overwhelming 79% of the vote, defeating his opponent,
Chuck Slavin .
Michelle Hurd, known for her roles in "
Ash vs. Evil Dead," "
Blindspot," and "
Star Trek: Picard," was elected as the union's secretary-treasurer . In his acceptance speech, Astin expressed his gratitude to the members for their support and emphasized the importance of optimism and creativity as the union navigates through challenging times . He also acknowledged the legacy of his mother, Patty Duke, who served as the president of the Screen Actors Guild from 1985 to 1988 . Astin's election comes at a critical time for SAG-AFTRA, as the union prepares for upcoming contract negotiations with the major studios. The industry is facing numerous challenges, including the impact of artificial intelligence on performers' work, streaming residuals, and the increasing costs of healthcare . Astin's leadership and experience on various negotiating committees will be crucial in addressing these issues and advocating for the rights and interests of the union's members . With his extensive career in Hollywood and strong union ties, Astin is well-positioned to lead SAG-AFTRA into a future defined by confidence, progress, and fierce advocacy . His election is a testament to the trust and support he has garnered from the union's members, and his commitment to representing their interests and ensuring their voices are heard .
EXPLAINING THE PEACEMAKER ALTERNATE REALITY THEORY 09/07/25 @ 1:37 pm EST
Source: comicbook.com | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a CommentThe first three episodes of Peacemaker season two has led to a lot of speculation about the “Best Dimension Ever” as Chris Smith calls it and just what might be the big twist coming up later in the season. And while we are not getting into the spoiler game, we thought it would be helpful to explain what everyone is talking about. So possibly spoilers if everyone is guessing right. Leave now if you don’t want to know. Still here? Okay. In DC Comics’ multiverse, few alternate Earths are as haunting and politically charged as Earth-X. First introduced in
Justice League of America #107 (1973), Earth-X imagines a world where Nazi Germany won World War II, plunging the planet into a totalitarian nightmare. Earth-X is a parallel universe within DC’s Pre-Crisis Multiverse. Unlike Earth-One or Earth-Two, Earth-X is defined by its alternate historical trajectory: the Axis powers emerged victorious in WWII, and the Nazi regime continues to dominate global affairs well into the 20th century. Some of the unique things about the dimension is that there were no native superheroes originally existed on Earth-X. The planet’s defenders are immigrants from Earth-Two, led by the patriotic spirit Uncle Sam. The world is locked in a perpetual struggle between fascist control and scattered resistance movements. To combat the oppressive regime, Uncle Sam formed the
Freedom Fighters, a ragtag team of heroes from other Earths who chose to stay and fight that includes: The Ray, Phantom Lady, Black Condor, Doll Man, Human Bomb, and Red Bee. Doll Man was mentioned in season one of Peacemaker. These characters came from DC’s acquisition of Quality Comics similar to how Peacemaker was part of DC’s acquisition of Charlton Comics. If this is the direction
James Gunn is going in season two, and the clues so far do point in this general direction, this would not be the first time we’ve seen Earth X represented in live action. The
Arrowverse did a crossover event called
Crisis on Earth-X which introduced us to variations of characters like Green Arrow and Supergirl and brought the Ray to television screens. While this remains to be just speculation, the reality that Peacemaker is visiting does have a few oddities to it that are leading fans to this idea including how Chris along with his dad and brother are revered when Auggie was an over-the-top racist in the main DCU. And then if you look closely when Chris is in that reality you’ll notice an extreme lack of diversity among the background actors where Gunn is known for the opposite in his other projects. While this may not end up being Earth-X, it does feel like Gunn is setting up a twist that will pull the rug out from under Peacemaker.

AARON PIERRE’S CRYPTIC RESPONSE TO ‘MAN OF TOMORROW’ FUELS GREEN LANTERN SPECULATION09/06/25 @ 1:40 pm EST
Source: Cinema Blend | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a CommentThe DC Universe is expanding rapidly, and with
James Gunn’s announcement of
Man of Tomorrow—the next chapter in the Superman Saga—fans are dissecting every social media breadcrumb for clues. One of the most intriguing reactions came from
Lanterns star
Aaron Pierre, whose subtle comment has ignited speculation that his portrayal of John Stewart may leap from HBO Max to the big screen. James Gunn revealed
Man of Tomorrow will hit theaters on July 9, 2027, featuring returning stars
David Corenswet as Superman and
Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. Though Gunn clarified it’s not a direct sequel to
Superman (2025), the film is expected to be a major ensemble piece, continuing the “Superman Saga” with a broader Justice Gang presence. Aaron Pierre, who is set to debut as John Stewart in HBO’s
Lanterns next year, responded to Gunn’s Instagram post with a simple but tantalizing comment: “Yes, indeed!”. While brief, the timing and context of the comment—especially as a reply to Hawkgirl actress
Isabela Merced’s “See you soon”—suggest Pierre may be hinting at his involvement in
Man of Tomorrow. Fans immediately latched onto the exchange, interpreting it as a soft confirmation that Stewart will join Superman, Hawkgirl, and potentially other Justice Gang members in the upcoming film. Given Stewart’s prominence in DC lore and his longstanding partnership with Superman in animated series like
Justice League Unlimited, the move would make narrative sense. Pierre’s portrayal of John Stewart is already generating buzz ahead of
Lanterns, where he stars opposite
Kyle Chandler’s Hal Jordan and
Nathan Fillion’s Guy Gardner. Stewart is expected to be the emotional anchor of the series, and many believe he’s being positioned as the DCU’s flagship Green Lantern. Pierre’s comment joins a wave of social media teases from other cast members. Isabela Merced,
Rachel Brosnahan, and
Skyler Gisondo have all hinted at their return, while rumors swirl around appearances by Supergirl, Peacemaker, and even Lobo. Though Gunn has yet to confirm Pierre’s involvement, the director has stated that
Man of Tomorrow will feature “a group of characters we’ve already met”—a description that fits Stewart perfectly.
RYAN REYNOLDS BREAKS SILENCE ON ‘AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY’ RUMORS09/06/25 @ 1:31 pm EST
Source: Deadline | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a CommentMarvel fans have been buzzing for weeks, dissecting every cryptic post and offhand comment from Ryan Reynolds in hopes of confirming Deadpool’s involvement in the upcoming
Avengers: Doomsday. Now, Reynolds has finally addressed the rumors—and in true Deadpool fashion, he’s left us with more questions than answers. It all began with a seemingly innocuous Instagram post: Reynolds shared an image of the Avengers logo spray-painted with a red “A,” igniting speculation that Deadpool would join the MCU’s biggest ensemble since
Endgame. The timing was suspicious—just weeks after Marvel unveiled the
Doomsday cast, notably without Reynolds’ name. During a press tour for his new documentary
John Candy: I Like Me, Reynolds was asked point-blank about his involvement in
Avengers: Doomsday. His response? “There’s four [John Candy Easter eggs] that I’ve got in there. Of course, I’ve written them all at home in my PJs, and nobody’s seen ’em nor have I stepped foot on set. But, yeah, that’s about as far as I’ll go on that one.” It’s a classic Reynolds dodge—playful, vague, and just enough to keep fans guessing. In a separate interview, Reynolds clarified that the red “A” logo wasn’t a tease for
Doomsday, but rather a variant flag design from
Deadpool & Wolverine that didn’t make the final cut. He explained: “That was just a flag. I came across it and thought, ‘Oh yeah, I loved that flag. The red and black vibe.’” Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has hinted that not all cast members have been revealed, leaving the door wide open for Reynolds to make a surprise appearance. While Reynolds remains coy, insiders suggest that even if Deadpool doesn’t appear in
Doomsday, he may play a pivotal role in
Avengers: Secret Wars, the Phase 6 finale. With a solo X-Men project reportedly in development, the Merc with a Mouth isn’t going anywhere.
WEIRD HOLIDAY WEEKEND AT THE BOX OFFICE08/31/25 @ 1:37 pm EST

Weapons returns to first place on its fourth weekend with $12.4M for the four-day stretch. A re-release of the classic
Jaws takes second with $9.8M while the two new releases
Caught Stealing ($9.5M) and
Roses ($8M) take third and fifth respectively. Also on it’s fourth weekend, Freakier Friday pulls in $8.3M for fourth place. The big summer superhero films are hanging on with the
Fantastic Four making $6M for seventh place and
Superman swooping up another $3.28M even though it has already been released on home consumption. Not quite breaking into the top ten is the Toxic Avengers finally getting a theatrical release and earning $2.2 million over the holiday weekend.
WALLER SERIES STILL IN THE WORKS FOR DC STUDIOS08/31/25 @ 1:12 pm EST
Source: Deadline | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a CommentWith the new season of
Peacemaker underway, DC fans have been wondering about the announced series set to focus on Amanda Waller, former head of ARGUS and Taskforce X. While on-line scoopers have called the series dead, co-head of DC Studios,
James Gunn says that
Viola Davis lead series is still in the works. The writer/director of
Superman told People, “We’re working on it, so we’ll see what happens. Some things have moved faster than others.
Waller’s not been the fastest. But I can’t wait to see Viola put on their Waller pants again.” The series was originally planned to run prior to the second season of
Peacemaker, but Gunn has admitted that
Waller has been a difficult series to crack and that he wrote the second season of
Peacemaker quickly, which is why it came out first. The most recent update had
Christal Henry from
Watchmen and
Doom Patrol creator
Jeremy Carver on board to write the series, but those announcements were made a few years back.
