Pedro Pascal stood in front of the international press at Cannes, dropped an F-bomb on political opponents in the United States, promoted a film that vilifies conservatives, and walked away with applause and headlines. Meanwhile, Gina Carano — who said far less, without profanity or attacks — remains blacklisted from Hollywood, forced to take her fight to court.
Disney CEO-Of-The-Near-Future Josh D’Amaro, currently in charge of the company’s only money-making division (albeit less and less of it all the time) involved with “Experiences” is an experienced man, business man, and manager. So he’s got to know an age-old adage we’ve all heard since childhood: “You can’t get blood out of a turnip.”
Jimmy Kimmel, the long-standing host of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, has recently hinted that he may not renew his contract with ABC when it expires in 2026. Now more signs are pointing to a future at ABC that doesn't feature Jimmy as a late night host. In a February 2024...
Josh D’Amaro, chairman of Disney Experiences, made headlines this week for expressing supreme confidence in Walt Disney World’s staying power — even in the face of the most ambitious theme park expansion in decades: Universal’s Epic Universe.
But as much as D’Amaro wants to spin the competition as a benefit, reality suggests otherwise. With Universal preparing to shake up the Orlando tourism market in 2025, Disney may be standing at the edge of a cliff while pretending it’s just another ride.
In what may go down as one of the most unfortunate scheduling blunders in recent superhero marketing, Marvel Studios released the trailer for Ironheart—a show that has already faced major delays and skepticism. Just three hours later, DC unveiled James Gunn’s trailer for Superman, offering fans a grounded, traditional take on the Man of Steel that’s not without its detractors.
Lucasfilm may still be waving the James Mangold flag when it comes to his announced Star Wars movie Dawn of the Jedi, but a closer look at the director’s recent moves reveals a very different story. While Disney continues to promote the origin-of-the-Force film as a pillar of the franchise’s future, Mangold appears to be everywhere except a galaxy far, far away.
Naughty Dog’s upcoming Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet continues to stir controversy every time it’s mentioned.

The surprises surrounding James Gunn’s Superman keep piling up—and they’re not all about flight, strength, or truth and justice. First came the leaked plot about mutant monkeys and Twitter trolls. Now? Gunn himself has confirmed that in his version of Superman, Clark Kent grew up in a trailer.
When Disney released the first trailer for the Lilo & Stitch live-action remake, long-time fans noticed a curious detail. Pleakley, the beloved Lilo & Stitch comic relief character, looked a little different.
There’s a video making the rounds on TikTok right now that perfectly captures everything wrong with what EPCOT has become. Nine full-grown adults, drinks in hand, shouting the Star-Spangled Banner in front of the American Adventure pavilion as though they were frat boys on a bender—culminating in one of them leaping into the decorative fountain and sloshing around like it’s a Vegas pool party.
This week, The Hollywood Reporter ran a smug editorial by Patrick Brzeski blaming President Donald Trump for the film industry’s diminishing appeal on the world stage. The argument? That the rise of Trump-era foreign policy has made international audiences recoil from American heroes and, by extension, American movies.
Marvel is invoking the name of Robert Downey Jr. in an attempt to justify its upcoming Ironheart series.
Marvel’s Ironheart is gearing up to close out Phase Five of the MCU on Disney+, and the studio appears to be going into full damage control mode ahead of the premiere.
