James McAvoy has love for his whole X-Men run, but when it comes to his favorite, he keeps circling back to two titles, and one bold swing those movies took before it was trendy. The British star appeared at New York Comic Con last week, and in a video (via EW’s Instagram), the actor was asked to pick his favorite Mutant-centric film.

While audiences will likely appreciate certain aspects of Benny Safdie’s new biopic, and the film is filled with genuine emotion, *The Smashing Machine* hasn’t quite lived up to the initial excitement. Its box office performance during opening weekend was disappointing, suggesting the hype didn’t translate into widespread interest – though box office numbers don’t always reflect a film’s quality, they do shape how it’s remembered. It’s challenging to create a compelling fight drama, particularly one based on a true story, and a film released just two years ago remains the gold standard in the genre.

Just to recap, Paramount Skydance, owned by the Ellison family, has been considering a purchase of Warner Bros Discovery for some time. They recently offered $20 per share, but Warner Bros Discovery, led by Zaslav, decided against the deal over the weekend. While many on Wall Street expected Paramount to increase their offer or appeal directly to Warner Bros Discovery’s shareholders, The Hollywood Reporter suggests another possibility is now being explored.

Jessica Chobot announced her next TV project on Instagram, following her departure from Expedition X. The new Discovery series, called Bigfoot Took Her, blends the true crime genre with the supernatural, as Chobot and her team delve into the puzzling disappearance of Theresa Ann Bier.

So what is the Tron 4 release date estimate? When can fans expect it? Here’s what we know.

This clip is from Episode 3, “The Sci-Fi Slingshot,” directed by Marisa Livingston and written by Grace Parra Janney. It shows Jesse and Yumyulack stressing about upcoming high school quizzes. Their worries are interrupted when they encounter the Stacies – Stacy H. (voiced by Kari Wahlgren), Stacy K. (voiced by Amanda Leighton), and Stacy F. (voiced by Natalie Morales).

Set in the not-too-distant future, *The Running Man* is the most popular show on TV – a brutal contest where participants, called Runners, have to stay alive for 30 days while being pursued by skilled killers. The entire hunt is televised, and the public eagerly watches as the cash prize grows with each passing day. Ben Richards, a working-class man desperate to pay for his daughter’s medical care, is persuaded by the show’s manipulative producer, Dan Killian, to compete as a final hope. However, Ben’s determination and fighting spirit unexpectedly make him a popular favorite – and a problem for the show’s creators. As viewership soars, the danger increases, and Ben must not only evade the Hunters, but also a country obsessed with seeing his downfall.

According to sources who are following the discussions, Warner Bros. Discovery considered Paramount’s first offer of around $20 per share to be too low. This rejection happened recently as Warner Bros. Discovery’s CEO, David Zaslav, and the board evaluated how much the company is actually worth, especially with plans to split the company next year.
