You can now stream A Madea Christmas on HBO Max. Tyler Perry not only stars as the hilarious Madea in the film, but he also wrote and directed it. The Madea series is known for its over-the-top plots – think Madea Goes to Jail and Madea’s Witness Protection – and A Madea Christmas adds a festive, holiday twist to the character’s usual antics. Originally a stage play Perry performed and released on DVD in 2011, the story was later developed into a full movie in 2013. Here’s what the movie is about:

A new trailer for Avengers: Doomsday is expected to debut in theaters during showings of Disney’s Avatar: Fire and Ash. Collider reports the trailer will be the first glimpse of Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, though the length of the footage hasn’t been revealed.

The main characters we know and love—Eleven, Mike, Dustin, Lucas, Will, Max, and Hopper—are all back, but they’ll sound a little different. The actors have been recast, which might seem like a big change, but it’s actually pretty common in popular animated series. If you’re worried about how it will sound, consider the success of Star Wars: The Clone Wars – it’s a great example of how a recast can still work really well.

As the source put it:

In the fourth episode of NCIS Season 23, McGee’s storyline takes a disappointing turn. The team investigates the disappearance of a Marine in “Gone Girls,” and their investigation leads them to uncover a secret network helping women escape abusive situations. Despite being comfortable around books and research, McGee finds himself in an uncomfortable position, highlighting his internal struggles throughout the episode.

A recent rumor suggests Patrick Stewart will play Professor Charles Xavier for the last time in the upcoming film, Avengers: Doomsday. Kristian Harloff, on his show The Kristian Harloff Show, hinted that Stewart may be retiring from acting after reprising the role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, potentially marking his final performance as the beloved X-Men leader.

Saying the Godfather films could be better might seem like a bold claim, but even a perfect movie can have small weaknesses. Fixing those flaws would have made Coppola’s masterpiece even stronger.

Fiona Shaw, famous for her roles in Andor and Harry Potter, recently talked about the upcoming Austen movie in an interview with The Guardian. She explained that filming has wrapped up, but as an actor, she hasn’t yet seen the finished movie. She went on to say…

I just got a sneak peek at how Hawkeye is being introduced in the new animated series for little kids, and it’s so cute! Nick A. Fisher is doing the voice, which is awesome. He’ll first appear in an episode called ‘The Tale of Hawkeye’ this Friday on Disney Junior, and then it’ll be available on Disney+ starting November 12th. The clip they showed has Hawkeye joining forces with all the other heroes, bow and arrows and everything! It looks like a lot of fun.
