In an interview with JoBlo, Danny Boyle revealed the next 28 Years Later film was initially scheduled to begin filming this year, but logistical challenges with the location – which can only be filmed during specific seasons – caused a delay. Boyle now anticipates starting production in 2027. He expressed optimism and shared that Alex Garland has penned a “wonderful script” to complete the trilogy.
Aside from brief appearances in The Marvels and Deadpool & Wolverine, the X-Men will first appear in Avengers: Doomsday. Initially, it seems like the actors who played the X-Men in the Fox films will reprise their roles. However, with the planned reboot of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2027 with Avengers: Secret Wars, a new cast will likely take over, making the X-Men the central heroes of future Marvel movies.
From Lisa’s presentations to Ralph Wiggum’s famous line, “I’m in danger,” (which surprisingly started as a crossover joke in Family Guy, not The Simpsons itself), and even Moe tossing Barney out of his bar only for him to immediately reappear, The Simpsons has provided endless material for memes. The show’s clever writing allows its jokes to be adapted and re-imagined to comment on current events and new topics.
The Hollywood Reporter announced on May 27th that Amazon launched a fund for AI-generated content and greenlit three animated shows created using artificial intelligence. This decision sparked significant criticism, leading to the cancellation of one of those shows.
As a huge fan of compelling characters, I’m really intrigued by this new Moriarty series! Apparently, Fremantle and Archery Pictures have brought in Chris Cornwell, the writer behind A Discovery of Witches, and Oliver Lansley, who did Where’s Wanda?, to develop it. From what I understand, it’s going to be a bit of a twist on the Sherlock Holmes world – think less classic detective story and more along the lines of Dexter. Moriarty will be both committing crimes and helping the police solve them! It’s exciting to finally see this captivating villain get his own chance to shine in a big, epic story.
I’ve always been a huge Howard Hawks fan, so it’s a little sad to say that Rio Lobo just didn’t quite live up to his usual brilliance. It felt slow and, honestly, didn’t really stick with me. It actually makes perfect sense to me why Quentin Tarantino has this plan to retire after ten films – he wants each one to be amazing, especially the last! He’s said himself he doesn’t want to end his career with something like Rio Lobo, and I totally get that desire to go out on a high note.
While many people loved the early seasons of Westworld, the show seemed to lose its way later on, ultimately leading to its cancellation after four seasons. It’s a shame the story wasn’t finished, as shows like it – ambitious and thought-provoking – are becoming increasingly rare.
Empire magazine recently revealed a new image of Jon Bernthal as the Punisher alongside Tom Holland’s Spider-Man in an action-packed scene from the upcoming game, Spider-Man: Brand New Day. You can see the picture below.
Following the season 3 premiere of House of the Dragon on HBO and Max on June 21st, the world of Game of Thrones will expand again in August with a brand new prequel. This time, however, it won’t be a TV show. For the first time, the popular fantasy series is coming to the stage as a live play, titled Game of Thrones: The Mad King. Author George R.R. Martin is producing and helping to create the play.
It’s incredibly difficult to create an ending that satisfies all fans, even for well-crafted stories. The more popular a series becomes, the higher the expectations, and the more likely the finale will strongly divide viewers – some will love it, others will hate it.
