Fortunately, the upcoming Doomsday movie seems to be heading in a different direction. Trailers suggest the next Avengers film will be a massive event, bringing together a new team of Avengers, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, and many other familiar faces from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This includes the exciting return of Chris Evans as Captain America and Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom.
While it hasn’t yet broken into the top 10 most popular shows on HBO Max globally, The Dark Wizard is gaining a dedicated following after its first episode. With three new episodes dropping every Tuesday through May 5th, there’s still a great opportunity to check out this promising new series from HBO, especially as the platform anticipates increased viewership following the latest seasons of Hacks and Euphoria.
As a big sci-fi fan, I was initially getting a classic Star Wars droid vibe from Two-Boots in Shadow Lord – think C-3PO or K-2SO, all witty banter and helpfulness. But honestly, his choice to bring in the Empire totally changed things, giving him a much darker side. It reminded me of Brander Lawson’s warnings; he was right to fear the Empire coming to Janix, knowing they’d never leave and would just use any trouble as an excuse to take control. And it’s exactly the same setup we saw with Ferrix in the first season of Andor – that creeping Imperial presence, promising order but really just wanting power. It’s a familiar, and frankly unsettling, story beat.
Bob Odenkirk is perfectly fine in these kinds of roles—at least, I think so, and you might agree—so he’s not the problem with Ben Wheatley’s new thriller. The real issue is the film simply doesn’t have much of a story. Normal is an enjoyable but ultimately lightweight movie that struggles to justify its 91-minute length.
The last episode, “Don’t Do Anything Rash,” showed a fierce fight in space between the Coalition and the Viltrumites. As the heroes approached Viltrum, they discovered a shocking sight: thousands of Viltrumite corpses drifting in space, with Thragg waiting for them in the middle. Some Viltrumites were secretly hiding amongst the bodies. During the intense battle, Oliver disobeyed orders and faced Thragg by himself, which proved to be a mistake.
During a recent Collider interview, Ashley Portillo was asked about a potential second season of Maul — Shadow Lord. She shared that Lucasfilm is working on several animated Star Wars projects, but not all of them are connected to that show. She stated, “We have other things in development and in progress, not necessarily related to the show.”
Lena Headey is famous for playing the ruthless Cersei Lannister throughout all eight seasons of Game of Thrones. Since the show finished in 2019, she’s focused on action-packed roles in films like Gunpowder Milkshake, 9 Bullets, Normal, and the series Beacon 23.
It’s surprisingly difficult to make good movies or TV shows based on H.P. Lovecraft’s work. His writing style is very abstract and open to interpretation. He often hints at huge, terrifying things without ever showing them directly, letting the reader fill in the details and experience the horror themselves.
