Hannah Waddingham shared some exciting updates about Ted Lasso Season 4. The 2-time Golden Globe nominee for playing team owner Rebecca has confirmed that filming will begin in July 2025, and she praised the show's writers, calling them "Jedi Knights" for their incredible storytelling. She also highlighted the presence of "real feminist men" in the writers' room, emphasizing how well the scripts are crafted. The new season is expected to focus on a recently created women’s team that was hinted at in the season 3 finale. Waddingham expressed surprise at the show's return, saying, "We thought we’d mourned the loss, and now it’s rising from the dead!". Along with Waddingham, series regulars Jason Sudeikis, Brett Goldstein, Juno Temple and Jeremy Swift have been confirmed to reprise their roles. 

Prime Video has officially canceled The Wheel of Time after three seasons. The series was based on a fantasy book series written by Robert Jordan, later completed by Brandon Sanderson after Jordan's passing. The series consists of 14 main books and a prequel, set in a richly detailed world where magic, prophecy, and epic battles shape the fate of civilizations. The decision to not continue was primarily financial, despite the show being well-received creatively. The third season, which concluded on April 17, 2025, was praised as the best yet, but declining viewership and high production costs led Amazon to pull the plug. The season finale was designed to provide some closure, but fans are still disappointed that the series won’t continue. 

The new Superman trailer has caused a bit of a Mandela Effect having to do with a possible connection with another film. If you’re not familiar with the Mandela Effect, it is a phenomenon where a large group of people remember an event or detail differently from how it actually occurred. The term was coined in 2009 by Fiona Broome after she realized that a large group of people falsely remember Nelson Mandela dying in the 1980s even though he lived until 2013. Other examples are people remembering Darth Vader saying, “Luke, I am your father.” except he actually says, “No. I am your father.” Or there being a genie movie called Shazam starring comedian Sinbad even though the movie doesn’t exist. The new Mandela Effect has to do with a moment in the Superman trailer where a news report in the background talks about “Major Flooding in Gotham”, which fans link to the end of Matt Reeves’ The Batman as the Riddler causes Gotham City to flood. There is a growing divide online on whether this means that Robert Pattinson’s Batman exists in the same universe as David Corenswet’s Superman, even though James Gunn has clearly said they don’t. The thing is though, the Easter Egg everyone is pointing to doesn’t actually say “Gotham”. As you can see in the attached image, it just says, “Major Flooding Causes Suffering.” Not sure if this is caused by wish fulfilment, people seeing what they want to see, or that audiences are so used to Superman and Batman both existing together that their minds connect the dots automatically, but for now the two universes are not connected no matter how hard fans try.

Marvel Studios’ marquee team of heroes need a bit more time to reassemble.

Avengers: Doomsday is pushing back its release date in theaters from May 1, 2026 to Dec. 18, 2026, while Avengers: Secret Wars will now open Dec. 17, 2027 instead of May 7, 2027.

Disney, however, isn’t giving up the coveted start-of-summer-slot in 2026 and has set 20th Century’s The Devil Wears Prada 2 to take Doomsday‘s date and open May 1.

Insiders say Doomsday and Secret Wars are two of the biggest titles Marvel has ever made, and the date shifts help the production schedules (Doomsday is shooting). Marvel has learned the hard way what can happen when rushing things. (via The Hollywood Reporter)

Thursday night was beyond cute for Disney: Their live action take of 2002 toon classic Lilo & Stitch is grabbing around $14M in previews that started at 2PM, which is possibly a Disney record as far as previews go over Memorial Day weekend.

Lilo & Stitch would need to unseat 2018’s Solo: A Star Wars Story which, though one of the lowest grossing movies in the Star Wars franchise, racked up $14.1M in its Thursday before a $35.3M Friday and $103M 4-day. As we always say, don’t be surprised if Lilo & Stitch‘s cash is substantially higher by the time Hollywood wakes up. Many are expecting this $100M Rideback co-production to come in at $150M.

Disney’s biggest opening for Memorial Day weekend is 2007’s Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End which did $139.8M if you don’t include its $13.2M Thursday preview (Disney rolled that money up in the first week gross, not the opening weekend. It was at a time when the whole notion of Thursday previews were new. Including the opening weekend, the first five days of At World’s End made $153M). (via Deadline)
