Shazam: Fury of the Gods

In conversation with the Associated Press, Helen Mirren discusses playing “one of three goddesses” in the upcoming Shazam sequel.

I’m not going to tell you the answer [whether Hespera is a hero or villain]. You’re going to have to ascertain for yourself. I’m a member of three goddesses: Lucy Liu as Kalypso and the third goddess played by Rachel Zegler, who will be a huge star in a very short space of time. So there are three of us together, and that was really a great experience because it’s so infrequent that you get to spend a whole of a movie with two other women. So often you’re the only woman in the cast. Here we were a trio, and that was great. I loved it.


The Matrix: Resurrections

While praising the return of Keanu Reeves’ Neo to Collider, Jessica Henwick stated Carrie Anne-Moss also has “a really interesting role” in The Matrix: Resurrections without referring to her character as Trinity.

I’m excited for fans to get to see Keanu. We love him. We love him as Neo. He’s amazing. He is the beating heart of the film and he can do no wrong. So, I think fans are really gonna enjoy that. Carrie-Anne has a really interesting role in this film and I think a lot of people are gonna be happy with her work. That’s really what I’m excited to see.


Gorillaz: The Movie

Damon Albarn revealed a full-length film starring his animated rock band, Gorillaz, is currently in development at Netflix.


Malignant 2

In a recent interview with Screen Rant, Annabelle Wallis confirmed “there’s lots of conversations happening” about a sequel to Malignant.

We have. There’s plenty of ideas swirling around. We were very, very flattered by the reception and I think taken aback by the reception. So yeah, there’s lots of conversations happening.


The Munsters

Rob Zombie shared a behind-the-scenes photo of Daniel Roebuck as Grandpa Munster on Instagram.


Hocus Pocus 2

The Sanderson sisters come home in a new photo from Hocus Pocus 2. posted on the Instagram fan page HocusPocusGuide.


Spider-Man: No Way Home

In a recent interview with TV Globo (via Comic Book), Tom Holland revealed Spider-Man’s never-before-seen fighting style is “very violent” and the response a of a “fight-or-flight” situation.

There are some fight scenes in this movie that are very violent. And it’s a fighting style different from what we’ve seen before. But really you will get to see Spider-Man using his fists in a ‘fight or flight’ situation.

Meanwhile, a new New Way Home TV spot reveals Peter lays low with Happy Hogan after his identity is exposed.


Chucky

Tonight’s season finale of the newly renewed Syfy series is 90 minutes long according to Jennifer Tilly on Twitter.


Agatha: House of Harkness

Appearing as a guest on the Drew Barrymore Show, Kathryn Hahn stated she hasn’t “heard anything definitive” about Mephisto appearing on the upcoming Agatha Harkness series at Disney+.

I didn’t even know the title of the show until it was released to the public, they keep it so tight. I keep hearing [about Mephisto], I have no idea, that was a big thing during WandaVision. I think right now, anything is possible at Marvel, but I’ve never heard anything definitive about that at all. All I’ll say to deflect that is that there is something that does feel so badass to be playing — we think of a witch and you think of a woman who is loud, who is mysterious, who is dangerous because she’s complicated and she’s misunderstood. All that stuff is a turn-on to me as a performer to sink my teeth into.


4400

The 4400 deal with bigotry as their superpowers manifest in the trailer for next week’s episode, “Empowered Women Empower Women.”


The Book of Boba Fett

Finally, a new TV spot sees Boba Fett convalescing from his time in the Sarlacc pit.

The Only Version of Return of the King Worth Watching Missing From Max After Streaming Bug

Screenshot: Warner Bros. Bad news for Max subscribers who’ve made re-watching The Lord of the Rings extended editions an annual New Year tradition: the third film in the trilogy, The Return of the King — which just celebrated its 20th anniversary! —is only available to stream in its theatrical version. No ancient evil is to blame, thankfully; it’s an unspecified “tech issue,” according to a Max spokesperson who responded to a comment request from Vulture after the issue was noted by dismayed fans on Reddit . The fact that The Return of the King extended edition is merely temporarily unavailable is actually good news given Max’s track record for removing content in the past, and the explanation makes sense considering The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers remain available in both their theatrical and extended editions. The Max spokesperson assured Vulture that The Return of the King extended edition will be, ah, returning soon to the service, though as of this writing i...

Image: Universal Pictures Just in time for Halloween and for the release of Blumhouse and Universal Pictures’ Five Nights at Freddy ’s fans can visit a pop-up location of the fictional franchise from the game and film. That’s right, a Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza has mysteriously appeared in Hollywood. Like in the game and upcoming film, it’s a run-down spot that’s been closed down due to some mysterious activity within.

Check out the video captured by deadboifilms on TikTok below at the location on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood (near the Chateau Marmont Hotel). If you want to encounter the animatronic band of fuzzy and totally friendly creatures from the game, you’ll have to visit Universal Studios Hollywood Halloween Horror Nights, there’s a walk-through in the DreamWorks theater lobby that’s been taken over by Blumhouse which features the real Jim ...
