Chris Hemsworth and Marvel Studios have confirmed that Thor 5 is in development despite the underwhelming performance of Thor 4. It is reported that the film is set to begin filming in the fall of 2025. However, the previous film’s outcome will probably prompt the makers to proceed with caution in this film.

It is reported that Taika Waititi might not return to helm another film in the Thor series. However, conflicting rumors about Waititi’s interest also circle around the internet. It is likely that Tessa Thompson, Brett Goldstein, Russell Crowe, and India Rose Hemsworth will return to Thor 5. However, there are some things that fans don’t want to happen in the upcoming film.

What If...? Season 3 has been a mixed bag so far. While the episode starring Bucky Barnes and The Red Guardian was a very fun time, others have shined the spotlight on pretty strange premises.

However, things might have taken a turn for the better, and that's all thanks to episode five. Its story begins with an event audiences had already witnessed before in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it truly ponders the question: What would've happened if the heroes we all know and love failed to save Earth against cosmic threats?

The Emergence was never stopped

This tale begins when the Eternals failed to join together in time to stop the Emergence — an apocalyptic event that sees the birth of a Celestial inside the Earth's core at the expense of all human beings. Our planet was destroyed and shattered into countless different fragments floating in space in the process. A...

What If...? season 3's fifth episode opens on a world with an army of drones called the Iron Federation marching through the streets. We find Riri Williams, a.k.a. Ironheart, heading to a motel as The Watcher explains that she fails her mission in every version of this reality. 

Meeting with Sharon Carter, Riri acquires an analogue part from an Easy Bake oven that's an essential part of whatever she's building. The Power Broker betrays her, though, and the Iron Federation closes in - many of them are revealed to be holograms - as Ironheart makes her escape in a makeshift suit.

However, it's then that White Vision attacks and, just as things look bleak for the hero, she's rescued by Wong, Okoye, Valkyrie, and Ying Nan. This is no normal Earth; it's the remnants of our planet in a reality where the Emergence happened years before the Eternals stopped it.

One of the most polarizing moments of the MCU remains the Emergence — the moment when a Celestial emerged from the Earth’s core in Eternals. With characters seemingly unwilling to acknowledge the event, it’s mostly disappeared from the popular consciousness. However, What If…? focuses on the impacts of the event in “What If… The Emergence Destroyed the Earth?” Focusing on this maligned moment, along with the choice to center Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne), makes this one of the more intriguing episodes of the season. However, the conclusion of “The Emergence Destroyed the Earth” really raises the importance of the latest What If…? episode.

What If…? Season 3 Follows A Daily Schedule (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Marvel Cinematic Universe’s What If…? has impressed the audience for three seasons. The animated show features some iconic actors from the MCU who lend their voices to their superhero characters.

The series is set in an alternate timeline and places the heroes in situations different from those in the films. What If…? Season 3, which marks the show’s final season, recently premiered on Disney+.

What If…? Season 3: Release Schedule

Instead of dropping all episodes together or following a weekly schedule, What If…? Season 3 has released one new episode daily since its premiere on December 22nd, 2024. The final season has eight episodes, one less than the previous two installments. The season finale and the series finale will be aired on December 29th, 2024. Here is the complete release schedule:

Episode 1: What If… the Hulk Fought the Mech Avengers?: December 22nd,...

“What If…?” is back for one more round on Disney+, with Season 3 wrapping up Marvel’s animated series.

Beginning on Dec. 22, the streamer will release one new episode every day for eight days, each one reimagining the lives of various MCU characters. As always, Jeffrey Wright voices The Watcher, and several vets are returning to voice the animated versions of their characters.

But there are also new voices in there too. So, let’s break it down.

Episode 1

Episode 1 is called “What If…The Hulk fought the Mech Avengers?” and centers on Sam Wilson’s Captain America, as he has to don a massive mech suit to battle Bruce Banner after an attempt to cure himself of the Hulk goes horribly wrong. Among his new team of mech Avengers is Bucky Barnes, Monica Rambeau, Moon Knight, and more.

The voice cast for this episode includes:

The second film in the “28 Years Later” trilogy, “The Bone Temple,” has landed a Jan. 16, 2026 domestic release date from Columbia Pictures.

The project’s MLK weekend release comes just six months after the first trilogy entry “28 Years Later,” which is slated for June 20. Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer and Ralph Fiennes star in that film, which shot back-to-back with “The Bone Temple.”

“It’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected,” the “28 Years Later” official synopsis reads. “One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders and horrors that have mutated not only...

What If...? returns with its third and final season this weekend and Marvel Animation has today shared the episode descriptions and credits for every episode.

There are some significant reveals here, though the biggest is Mysterio's role in "What If...The Emergence destroyed the Earth?" With the planet no more, it appears Quentin Beck finds a way to take charge of what's left; could a Spider-Man: Far From Home retcon be in the works establishing him as a Multiversal threat?

We wouldn't bank on it but in this reality, he must have survived the events of that movie and become more than just a con man out to steal Tony Stark's technology.

Beyond that, most of these episodes sound like fun, throwaway adventures and a couple really stretch the "What If...?" premise. However, the final two episodes sound pretty monumental and could have a major impact on the...

Flying Lotus has directed the experimental comedy Kuso and the Ozzy’s Dungeon segment of the horror anthology V/H/S/99, and next up for the rapper and filmmaker (who is a.k.a. Steven Ellison) is the sci-fi thriller Ash, starring Eiza González (Baby Driver) and Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad). When González and Paul were cast in the film, Flying Lotus released a statement saying, “We are building something fresh and unique with Ash and having Eiza and Aaron in this world just makes it flames. They are absolute magic makers, brave and equally inspiring. All that to say… We ‘bout to kill this.” We won’t have to wait much longer to see how well they did kill it, as Rlje Films will be giving Ash a nationwide theatrical release on March 21st – and in anticipation of that release, a teaser trailer and a teaser poster have been unveiled.

Rebecca Hall has joined the upcoming FX series “The Beauty,” Variety has learned exclusively.

Hall will appear alongside previously announced series leads Evan Peters, Ashton Kutcher, Anthony Ramos, and Jeremy Pope. FX has given the show an 11-episode order.

The series, which is currently in production, is based on the Image Comics series of the same name by Jeremy Haun and Jason A. Hurley. Exact character and plot details are being kept under wraps, but the description of the comic book states:

“Modern society is obsessed with outward beauty. What if there was a way to guarantee you could become more and more beautiful every day? What if it was a sexually transmitted disease? In the world of ‘The Beauty,’ physical perfection is attainable. The vast majority of the population has taken advantage of it, but Detectives Foster and Vaughn will soon discover it comes at a terrible price.”

Exclusive: Rashida Jones, Will McCormack and Michael Govier have been set to write Tom and Jerry, a feature that will be made under Bill Damaschke’s Warner Bros Pictures Animation.

They will be starting fresh on the new iteration of the misadventures of the cat Tom and mouse Jerry, hatched in 1940 by William Hanna & Joseph Barbera at MGM. Until MGM shuttered its animation division, they made 114 shorts that won 7 Oscars. Later versions came from Gene Deitch and Chuck Jones, and then others. The characters most recently toplined the 2021 hybrid film Tom & Jerry. While through the years it has been criticized for the sometimes violent ways the cat tries to trap the mouse and pays dearly for it, the venerable franchise has been an influence on many cartoon series including The Simpsons.

Through their prolific Le Train Train banner, Jones and McCormack work as writers, directors and producers with credits include Celeste and Jesse Forever,...

Marvel Studios' Thor: The Dark World is generally regarded as one of the low (lowest?) points of the MCU, but a lot of fans were still concerned that Taika Waititi would "ruin" the character when he was enlisted to helm Thor: Ragnarök.

Ironically, the threequel is now widely viewed as the best Thor movie, but Waititi remembers the online backlash when he was announced as the movie's director.

"That really propelled me into the nerdosphere, if you will," the filmmaker recalled during a new video interview with Entertainment Weekly. "I was living a really lovely, peaceful life, and as soon as I did this, well boy, did the nerds come for me. They said, 'This guy's gonna ruin this. He's gonna ruin Thor!'"

"It's like, 'What, you mean again?'" he added. "And they were like, 'He's gonna ruin this for everyone, Thor's so cool!' And I said...

Creed Creed, 10pm, ITV, Monday November 25

Forget Rocky, it's Sly Stallone who proved he was one of the ultimate comeback kids with his Golden Globe-winning supporting turn in Ryan Coogler's Rocky sequel. The story might be a new one - Apollo Creed's illegitimate son wants his dad's old rival to train him up - but it draws on elements of the original, including the inevitable climactic fight, without being slavish to them. Michael B Jordan is no lightweight in the acting department either and brings plenty of nuance to his character as he trains himself up at the same time as he strikes up a romance with his neighbour Bianca (Tessa Thompson), who is facing challenges of her own. Coogler takes this seriously - and so will you.

Chris Hemsworth Sharing A Lighthearted Moment In India (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Chris Hemsworth isn’t just the mighty Thor—he’s the guy you’d want on your trip if you’re looking for enjoyable, unfiltered adventures. This guy makes vacations look like epic adventures and his social media is the travel diary we all wish we had. Now, if you thought his Thor role was the only thing making headlines, think again—because Hemsworth once tried to kiss a cow during a trip to India. Yeah, you read that right, and it went viral.

In 2016, Chris and his wife, Elsa Pataky, were in India long before he shot Extraction. They were documenting their time there on Instagram, but one particular moment had the internet moving—Chris was trying to lock lips with a cow. The picture? Absolutely priceless. Chris, shirtless, leaning in for a kiss with the cow, captioned,...

Marvel Studios has shared a cast list for the upcoming third and final season of What If...?, and Jeffrey Wright's Watcher looks set to be joined by another A-List lineup of Marvel Cinematic Universe talent.

We heard some time ago that season 3 would add some key Phase 4 characters to the mix, and that's evident from the presence of Kingo, Shang-Chi, Kate Bishop, and Moon Knight.

There aren't many surprises beyond that, though we are intrigued to see what the likes of Sonny Burch and Arishem the Judge bring to the table.

What If...? will also deliver some big MCU debuts, with Barbie star America Ferrera and Harry Potter icon Jason Isaacs among the guest stars set to appear in the 8-episode series.

Cate Blanchett became a great addition to the MCU despite starring in only one film. Playing Hela, the Goddess of Death, Blanchett became the ultimate threat and gave all the seriousness to the otherwise hilarious Thor: Ragnarok. Taika Waititi’s film was regarded as a fresh addition akin to Guardians of the Galaxy to the franchise at that point.

One of the highlights and traditions of the MCU is their bloopers and gag reels which show the main stars of the films at their goofiest. From funny dances to messing up lines, the bloopers humanize the superheroes to an amazing level. One blooper from Thor: Ragnarok showed Blanchett smacking Chris Hemsworth a bit too hard while filming an action scene.

Here’s why Natalie Portman didn’t return for Thor: Ragnarok (Photo Credit – Instagram/Hotstar)

So, here’s the scoop: back in 2017, Natalie Portman officially stepped off the Marvel train, leaving fans curious and a little bummed. Portman, who played the brainy Jane Foster in Thor and Thor: The Dark World, hinted she was “done with Marvel.” And no, this wasn’t just a scheduling issue—it was a clean break. Asked if Jane would be back in Thor: Ragnarok, Portman’s answer was blunt: “As far as I know, I’m done… maybe for an ‘Avengers 7’ or whatever,” she shrugged. For Marvel fans, it was a big “ouch.”

So, what exactly went down? Well, Ragnarok took a significant leap away from Earth and Jane’s whole reason for being. Marvel Studios’ mastermind Kevin Feige spilled the beans, admitting that Ragnarok would be “80 to 90 percent in the cosmos.” The plot...

The first trailer for Ash, Flying Lotus’ highly anticipated 2025 sci-fi thriller, has arrived, offering a chilling glimpse into the aftermath of a catastrophic event on a mysterious planet. The film stars Aaron Paul and Eiza González as Brion and Riya, two strangers thrust together after Riya awakens to find her entire crew slaughtered. As the sole survivor on the eerie, purple-hued planet, Riya’s rescue by Brion sets the stage for a harrowing test of trust as they battle for survival against unknown forces.

Co-starring Iko Uwais, Kate Elliott, and Beulah Koale, Ash follows the characters’ struggle to decipher what happened to Riya’s crew and how to escape the planet alive.

A gruesome space mission puts the stranded inhabitants of an obscure planet to the ultimate trust test in the first trailer for Ash.

We first heard about this one back in 2022 when Tessa Thompson (Thor: Love and Thunder) and Joseph Gordon Levitt (Inception) were both attached to star, but the project has since gained two new leads, and the first teaser trailer the sophomore feature of Grammy-winning musician and filmmaker Flying Lotus, aka Steven Ellison, is now online.

Eiza González (Baby Driver) stars as a woman named Riya who wakes up on a distant planet to find the rest of the crew of her space station viciously murdered. She has to decide whether to trust Brion (Breaking Bad and Westworld's Aaron Paul), the man who claims to have been sent to rescue her.

During their investigation into the killings, however, Brion begins to wonder Riya is as innocent as she pretends to be.

"The way his brain works is quite special," Gonzalez says of her director during a recent an interview with EW.

Back in July, it was announced that Tessa Thompson of the Thor and Creed franchises had signed on to star in and executive produce a limited series called His & Hers that will stream on Netflix.

Everybody farts. That’s just a fact. Some do it more than others, but I don’t know how many people can cause an actual evacuation with one. While speaking on the Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa podcast, Men in Black director Barry Sonnenfeld revealed that Will Smith once caused a three-hour-long evacuation with one of his farts on the set of the 1997 movie. That’s… impressive?

Barry Sonnenfeld said that the fart in question occurred during a scene in which Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones were “hermetically sealed” in a pod used for filming the transforming car. “There are locks to prevent it from opening and falling,” Sonnenfeld said. “I say, ‘Roll camera.’ And I hear Will Smith go, ‘Oh Jesus, so sorry.

Exclusive: Joe Hipps, who stepped down as Head of TV for Fifth Season earlier this month, is segueing to producing with a deal at another indie studio, A24. Hipps has launched a production company with an exclusive deal to develop and produce television series for A24.

Hipps surprised many when he exited Fifth Season after 16 years as a TV development executive, nine at MRC and seven at Fifth Season. It was rumored at the time that he may be looking for a change of pace and a career change.

As Head of TV at Fifth Season, Hipps oversaw a portfolio of more than a dozen series, including Apple TV+’s Severance and Lady In The Lake, Max’s Tokyo Vice as well as Hulu’s Nine Perfect Strangers and Life & Beth. His upcoming projects include The Savant, starring Jessica Chastain, and The Cheif of War, starring Jason Momoa — both...

During battles, superheroes and other comic book characters often cause significant damage. While they don’t intend for this to happen, harm and casualties occur regardless. There are also instances where heroes kill intentionally, believing it’s the only way to defeat their enemies and achieve victory.

Though some superheroes, like Batman and Superman, adopt “no-kill” policies, this is more of an exception than a standard practice. Generally, superheroes don’t hesitate to eliminate their foes, whether they’re monsters, aliens, or something entirely different.

With that in mind, let’s explore the kill count of a particularly intriguing character from the MCU: Valkyrie. She’s such a formidable presence that her kill count surpasses that of most Avengers.

The data we’re presenting comes from an IMDb list created by user Creedswede, who meticulously tracked the kill count of both major and minor MCU characters, along with several key notes.

Prime Video will explore the realm of near-death experiences in its latest drama project.

The Amazon-owned streamer is developing a thriller called The Orpheus Project, centering on a group of young doctors who conduct dangerous experiments on themselves that skirt the line between life and death. The project, from writers Dee Johnson (Fellow Travelers) and Paul Keables (Nashville), is based on an Israeli series titled Metim Lerega that ran on that country’s Hot platform.

Johnson and Keables will executive produce with Jack Tar Pictures’ Marc Resteghini (Prime Video’s upcoming Young Sherlock) and Paper Plane Productions’ Alon Aranya (Your Honor, Tehran). Amazon MGM Studios is producing.

The Orpheus Project will center on “a group of young doctors saving lives by day and conducting dangerous experiments on themselves at night,” the show’s logline reads. “While these experiments are helping them solve complex medical cases, they come at a dark cost,...

With Agatha All Along now premiering its first two episodes, audience reactions have been positive, though critics are less impressed. Continuing from WandaVision and leading into the MCU’s forthcoming Vision project, the show tracks Agatha Harkness’s journey as she escapes captivity and attempts to regain her powers by navigating the Witches’ Road.

Joe Locke’s character, Teen, is anticipated to be pivotal in this quest and might also hold a key connection to the Scarlet Witch.

Teen’s character in Agatha All Along is notably open about his sexuality, with one scene even featuring his boyfriend. Joe Locke’s role is significant for LGBTQ+ representation in the MCU. As an openly LGBTQ+ actor, Locke’s Teen joins other queer characters played by openly queer actors, such as Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie and Brianna Hildebrand’s Negasonic Teenage Warhead.

‘Agatha All Along’ release is upon us, and with the first two episodes already out, it seems that audiences are pleased while critics, not so much. The show continues from ‘WandaVision’ as part of a trilogy with the MCU’s upcoming ‘Vision’ project. It follows Agatha Harkness as she escapes imprisonment and seeks to reclaim her powers by traversing the Witches’ Road.

Joe Locke’s character, Teen, is expected to play a crucial role in this quest and may also have a significant connection to the Scarlet Witch.

There’s also the fact that Teen is openly gay in the show, one scene even showcasing his boyfriend. Locke’s role is notable for LGBTQ+ representation in the MCU. As an openly LGBT+ actor, he joins other queer characters portrayed by openly queer actors, such as Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie and Brianna Hildebrand’s Negasonic Teenage Warhead.
