Once—maybe twice—in a generation, Hollywood discovers an actress who seems to have it all: beauty, grace, and the versatility to excel in action movies, comedies, and Oscar-winning dramas. Traditionally, “producing” a star means finding and amplifying a natural talent. But Tilly Norwood, an AI “actress,” may redefine both the word and the industry
There’s no denying that anime is on the rise at the global box office. But just how fast it’s climbing remains a matter of debate—and sometimes, outright confusion. Starting Sunday afternoon, fan accounts were proclaiming that by its third weekend in U.S. theaters, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle had a higher worldwide total than Superman managed in its entire theatrical run.
Even though Man of Tomorrow, James Gunn’s follow-up to this year’s Superman, won’t fly into theaters until summer 2027, the writer/director is already drawing comparisons between the two films. In his appearance on the Ringer-Verse podcast he said that Superman “is more comic booky in some ways,” than the Superman/Lex Luthor duality he wants to explore in the next movie.
Avengers: Doomsday has wrapped its UK production. While Disney and the Russo Brothers haven’t made an official announcement, The Hollywood Reporter said that principal photography finished on September 19th, “but true to the Marvel Method, Kevin Feige and the Russos Bros. will be tinkering as they prepare for a healthy dose of additional photography down the road.”
Production on Chad Stahelski’s Highlander reboot has been delayed. Confirming an earlier report from Deadline of a pre-production training injury, star Henry Cavill posted a picture on his personal Instagram account of his bandaged leg elevated on a pillow.
James Gunn started the week by posting on X that he’s finished the first draft of his Man of Tomorrow script, and dropped a hint that Brainiac is indeed the villain.
The Witcher season four trailer hit YouTube with a cataclysmic thud. Just four days after its release the trailer had 79k downvotes and only 24k upvotes. That ratio has since grown to 25K likes to a staggering 106K dislikes. READ: Guest Dies After Riding Stardust...
The Batman 2 writer/director Matt Reeves gave reporters an update while at the Emmy Awards Sunday night. He was there supporting The Penguin, the HBO Max limited series set in his DC Elseworlds, which earned 24 nominations and won nine. But it was the sequel to his 2022 The Batman that was on everyone’s mind.
The dust hadn’t even started to settle after Skydance’s merger with Paramount Studios when news broke that Skydance CEO David Ellison had set his sights on buying a second legacy studio, this time, Warner Brothers (WB).
But the sale of WB might be something that Warner Brothers Discovery CEO David Zaslav has been orchestrating for some time. Ellison’s interest, however, is probably an unexpected twist.
Could the next Superman movie feature Brainiac? Gary Buechler, host of Nerdrotic on YouTube, thinks so. In a conversation with Chris Gore of Film Threat, Buechler said he’d heard from a source that an earlier cut of Superman featured two post-credits scenes, one of which wasn’t used. “And one was Brainiac,” Buechler said. “So maybe… they moved that to Supergirl.”
Perhaps someday we’ll see the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) crossover with the DC Universe (DCU). But over on X, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings star Simu Liu is already giving Superman the stare-down. While a sequel to this year’s Superman has the green light just months after the film’s debut, a follow-up to 2021’s Shang-Chi has yet to be confirmed.
Horror movies keep most people awake at night, but since the latest film in The Conjuring Universe just took over the box office, President and CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery David Zaslav is probably sleeping just fine.
