Lena Headey brilliantly portrayed Cersei Lannister in Game of Thrones from 2011 to 2019, making her a character audiences loved to hate. While outwardly charming and graceful, Cersei was also manipulative, violent, and ruthless.

Driven by self-interest, Cersei fiercely protected what she believed was rightfully hers. Now, Headey seems poised to tackle a role with a similar complex and compelling dynamic.

James Gunn addressed the reports online, clarifying some points, but also suggesting that the leaked information wasn’t entirely wrong. While I’m excited about the future of the DC Universe, my first reaction to this leak was worry.
Look, Disney and Lucasfilm have really tried with their Star Wars shows, but honestly, they just haven’t measured up to the best science fiction on TV. If you look at lists of the greatest sci-fi shows ever made, you’ll find only one Star Wars entry.

It really highlights why those shows haven’t quite hit the mark.
