This May, The Mandalorian & Grogu will mark the first Star Wars film in seven years to hit theaters.

‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ Falls Short of Previous Films – Will James Cameron Make More?
Since its 2009 debut, the Avatar franchise has been known for groundbreaking visuals and historic box office returns.

Colin Farrell Confirms Penguin Won’t Play a Big Part in The Batman 2
Since the release of The Batman in 2022 and its spin-off, The Penguin on HBO Max, fans have speculated on the future of franchise and the character. Not Batman. He’s a given, though James Gunn’s parallel DC Universe seems in conflict with writer/director Matt Reeves’ darker world. But how will Colin Farrell’s Oz Cobb, aka: The Penguin, feature in The Batman 2?
Now we may have an idea, and it’s not as prominently as we might have thought given the success of his solo show.
Sophie Turner Cast as Lara Croft in Amazon’s Long-Delayed Phoebe Waller-Bridge Tomb Raider Series
Sophie Turner has officially been cast as Lara Croft in Amazon’s Tomb Raider live action series by Phoebe Waller Bridge.
For months it seemed Amazon’s big bet on a live-action Tomb Raider series was over before it began. Reports earlier this year suggested Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s expensive adaptation was dead in the water. Yet today, the streamer surprised the industry with the announcement that Sophie Turner has officially been cast as Lara Croft, breathing life back into a project many had written off.

Disney to Pay $10 Million for Allegedly Mishandling Children’s Data on YouTube
The Walt Disney Company is facing yet another controversy, this time not in the form of box office misfires or declining theme park attendance, but in the realm of online privacy. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Disney improperly labeled YouTube videos targeted at children, which allowed the unlawful collection of personal data from under-13 viewers.
The result: a $10 million settlement and a new compliance program that puts Disney under regulatory scrutiny for years to come.
Hollywood Press Tells Colbert and Kimmel to Double Down on Politics as Late Night Ratings Collapse
As Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, and Seth Meyers return from their summer hiatus, media outlets are working overtime to assure readers that late-night TV’s struggles have nothing to do with politics. Late Nighter, a trade site focused on the format, ran a feature this week framing the looming season as a test of the medium itself rather than the hosts’ increasingly partisan material.
JK Rowling Slams Censor Culture and Authoritarian Rule in the United Kingdom After Comedian Thrown Behind Bars
On September 1, 2025, at Heathrow Airport, comedian and sitcom creator Graham Linehan, known for Father Ted and The IT Crowd, was taken into custody by five armed police officers following his arrival from Arizona.
The arrest stemmed from three posts on X that authorities allege involved incitement of violence against individuals identifying as “trans.” Linehan was detained, questioned, and afterward hospitalized due to high blood pressure. As part of his bail, he’s been banned from posting on X. Linehan may have posted the commentary in the United States, indicating that the United Kingdom is willing to arrest individuals for online discourse once they arrive upon British territory.
Deadline Tells Audiences to “Shut Up” About Marvel Crashing and Burning at the Summer Box Office
Hollywood promised that the summer of 2025 would be the big comeback. Bob Iger told Wall Street earlier this year that Marvel and Disney’s film slate would be the strongest since 2019 in terms of summer box office. Analysts across the trades said the industry could finally hit a $4 billion summer, marking the first real rebound since the 2020 lockdowns. The message was clear: after years of decline, Hollywood would deliver a box office season worth celebrating.
Big Thunder Mountain “Exploding Dynamite” Finale Not Likely in Magic Kingdom Refurbishment Plans

Sean Gunn Says James Gunn’s DC Movie Universe Runs on ‘Bullet Points,’ Not a Master Plan

Disney “Wins” Summer 2025 Box Office—But Only Because Everyone Else Lost
The summer 2025 box office has wrapped, and the headlines will tell you that Disney came out on top. That’s technically true. But if we’re being honest, this “victory” says more about how dismal the competition was than about Disney’s strength. This was not a coronation. It was a race where everyone tripped over their shoelaces, and Disney just happened to hobble across the finish line first.
Summer 2025 Box Office Tanks: Superman Couldn’t Fly, Jurassic World Couldn’t Roar, Fantastic Four Couldn’t Stretch
The summer box office is supposed to be Hollywood’s surest bet.
