Jack Black and the rest of the The Super Mario Galaxy Movie cast debuted a new song that wasn’t used in the film. In a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the actor, dressed as the Koopa King, strummed his guitar and performed “The Ballad of Mario.” Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Brie Larson, Charlie Day, Glen Powell and Donald Glover provided backup vocals.
Disney’s live-action Snow White is shaping up to be one of the studio’s most troubled releases in recent memory, and now, a major red flag has appeared. The company has canceled its planned Snow White UK premiere, reportedly due to concerns over backlash and controversy. Instead of a star-studded event in London, Disney will hold a small number of tightly controlled press events, an unusual move for a film with a $200 million-plus budget and massive marketing campaign.
A source tells That Park Place that Marvel may ditch the Young Avengers as a standalone effort… and instead, they’re cramming them into the most important MCU movie since Ironman.
Back in December of 2024, a story made the rounds that Charlie Cox will appear as Daredevil in Avengers: Doomsday. The actor has finally responded to these claims.
For decades, fans of Star Wars have pleaded for the original theatrical cut of the 1977 classic to be made available on streaming platforms. Yet, despite Disney’s ownership of the franchise, the unaltered version—without the A New Hope subtitle or the controversial changes made in later releases—remains elusive. However, for a brief moment, a solution seemed to emerge from an unexpected source.
The conversation surrounding James Gunn’s Superman continues to be a rollercoaster, as fresh rumors suggest the film may not be shaping up as well as Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) and DC Studios had hoped. A recent report from insider Jeff Sneider has reignited concerns, hinting that the film’s internal reception after several Superman test screenings remains troubling.
The hype for Shrek 5 has taken an unexpected turn, as the highly anticipated sequel trailer is getting roasted across the internet. But the latest round of mockery isn’t just coming from social media—it’s coming from inside Universal itself. A performer voicing the animatronic meet-and-greet version of Donkey at a Universal theme park recently took jabs at the Shrek 5 trailer in front of guests, openly expressing disappointment over the animation quality.
Captain America: Brave New World has managed to hold onto the #1 spot at the box office for a third weekend in a row, but there’s little to celebrate. The film brought in just $15 million domestically—a staggering 85% drop from its opening weekend and a 46% decline from its second weekend, making its top of the chart status more an indictment on the current state of Hollywood that an accolade for the troubled movie.
Although the 2025 Oscars were tepid in their TDS, issues from the era of DEI still remained a strong force in the background. A requirement for diversity across a broad spectrum of creative and technical rubrics meant that many movies and documentaries that Americans loved were simply “unfit” for Hollywood’s biggest night. Americans, of course, give the ultimate award with money and viewership.
The 97th Academy Awards AKA the Oscars, made headlines, not for grand political statements, but for what was missing—any mention of President Donald Trump.
While Hollywood has long relished taking jabs at the current president, this year’s ceremony was eerily silent on political matters. Despite being one of the longest Oscar broadcasts in recent history, not a single presenter, winner, or host uttered Trump’s name. A stark contrast to years past, when late-night comedians and Hollywood elites openly ridiculed him at every opportunity.
A new rumor has surfaced from Film Threat’s Chris Gore and Alan Ng, suggesting that Disney has been quietly looking to sell Star Wars for the past seven months—but reportedly, there have been no takers.
CNN took another credibility hit this week after it seemingly ran defense for Kathleen Kennedy in what now appears to have been a blatant PR move, according to information shared by Puck’s Matt Belloni. The network published an article contradicting Puck’s report that Kennedy is planning her exit from Lucasfilm—citing a vague, anonymous “source close to the situation” who claimed there was “nothing there right now.”
Now, Belloni has exposed exactly who that source likely was—Kennedy’s personal publicist, Simon Halls.
The ongoing Kathleen Kennedy leaving Star Wars saga has taken an amusing turn as two Hollywood journalists, Puck’s Matt Belloni and Deadline’s Mike Fleming Jr., are now publicly feuding over the story of her rumored exit from Lucasfilm.
