Mark Hamill is speaking candidly once again about the direction of Star Wars—and this time, his tone is notably different as he heaps lavish praise on new Lucasfilm boss Dave Filoni. With Kathleen Kennedy stepping away from Lucasfilm after more than a decade at the...
Disney’s long-awaited Tron: Ares has officially crashed on entry to the weekend box office. Despite heavy promotion and years of anticipation, the sci-fi sequel opened to just $33.5 million domestically and $60.5 million worldwide, according to AP News and Entertainment Weekly. For a film carrying a reported $180 million budget (which some outlets claims actually reached heights of over $200 million), those are alarming numbers.
Disney’s live-action Tangled remake is reportedly back in motion after a quiet pause earlier this year — and Scarlett Johansson may soon join the project in a key villain role.
Tron: Ares is not a good movie. We should start This Tron: Ares review honestly, and if that’s all you needed to know, read no more, friends. But if you’d like to understand just what a stinker Disney has shoveled out upon theaters this fall, continue on and I’ll explain.
For decades, Disney was the rare American brand that managed to transcend politics and maintain high favorability. Families from both sides of the aisle flocked to its parks, its films, and its streaming service without a second thought. But that era appears to be over.
A new analysis from Jefferies, based on Morning Consult polling, shows that Disney’s favorability has collapsed among both Democrats and Republicans, marking one of the sharpest declines in the company’s modern history. The catalyst? The suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! after false and inflammatory remarks made by Kimmel in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder.
In September 2025, Disney sent a cease-and-desist letter to Character.AI, forcing the platform to strip away all Disney-owned characters from its catalog. The company argued that unauthorized use of its intellectual property could harm its “family-friendly” brand, citing reports of “sexual exploitation, manipulation, and violence” involving its characters on the site. Character.AI quickly complied.
Will Josh D’Amaro become the Disney CEO? It certainly looks that way to mose, but the race to see who is going to assume Bob Iger’s throne (and office shower) is apparently far from over.
Just when it seemed like the damage from James Mangold’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny couldn’t look any worse, a new report from Forbes’ Caroline Reid has confirmed that Disney’s spending on the film ballooned past the $400 million mark. That eye-popping cost figure officially cements the fifth Indiana Jones installment not just as a box office disappointment, but as one of Disney’s most costly failures of all time.
James Mangold has just inked a major deal with Paramount Pictures to develop, direct, and produce feature films for the studio. It’s a career win for Mangold, but the news comes with ripple effects—particularly for Lucasfilm. The director was announced last year as the creative force behind Dawn of the Jedi, a Star Wars project that was supposedly set to explore the origins of the Force.
The galaxy far, far away may be headed in a direction few fans ever expected. According to a new rumor, Starfighter—the upcoming Star Wars film from Shawn Levy starring Ryan Gosling and Amy Adams—may revolve around Mara Jade from the Expanded Universe (EU) attempting to get Luke Skywalker’s son to none other than…Rey.
President Donald J. Trump made waves this morning by announcing a 100% tariff on all movies produced outside the United States. This trump movie tariff, framed as a way to bring the movie business back to American soil, could have the largest impact on Disney—Hollywood’s biggest player and one that has increasingly shifted its production to the United Kingdom.
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.”
Law firm Morgan & Morgan wants to use the first iteration of Mickey Mouse, Steamboat Willie, in their advertising. In a “preemptive strike,” they have filed a lawsuit against Disney to ensure the House of Mouse doesn’t come after them for copyright infringement. The suit was filed in the U.S. Middle District Court in Orlando, Florida, on September 17, 2025.
