Director Michael Chaves describes The Nun II as a relentless horror film with tie-ins to the Conjuring Universe. Valak returns in The Nun II with heavy-handed horror and more clues that tie the films' characters to the broader Conjuring Universe. Director Michael Chaves says The Nun II feeds on a renewed obsession for procedural horror movies as it builds new and deeper ties to the first Conjuring. He's also goading viewers to look out for clues deliberately dropped or lurking throughout the film. The director admitted to /Film there was an intentional buildup that circles back to the Conjuring movies, but they're still hashing out the details of that culmination. "I think that they're still writing it. They're still working on it. There's definitely Conjuring: Last Rites is coming," he confirmed, but also confessed there's more than one way to approach that ending. Chaves also entertained the possibility that all the pivotal plots in the Conjuring

Co-showrunner of the Fraiser reboot, Joe Harris and director James Burrows explain how the relaunch will honor the original series. Crew members from the Frasier revival break down how the upcoming relaunch will maintain the spirit of the original show. James Burrows, who will be directing the first two episodes of the Frasier revival, told Entertainment Weekly about the parallels between the classic series and the new installment. "There's a lot of Martin in Freddy," Burrows said. He noted that was a conscious decision made by the showrunners, Joe Cristalli and Chris Harris. "Joe and Chris specifically wanted Frasier to deal with his son… because the relationship with Kelsey [Grammer] and [John] Mahoney was wonderful. So they tried to tap into that, and I think they succeeded." Burrows went on to explain how the pilot of the Frasier revival honors the late John Mahoney, who played Martin in the original series. "It's a wonderful scene at the end of the

Footloose and The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special star Kevin Bacon pleads for studios to end the ongoing strike on his Six Degrees podcast. Kevin Bacon urges Hollywood studios to cut a deal and end the strikes. Per Deadline, Bacon made a guest appearance on The Today Show to hype up his new podcast Six Degrees with Kevin Bacon. When the Footloose star was asked about the ongoing writers' and actors' strikes in Hollywood, Bacon made clear that the strikes are not about the highly paid stars but instead those who are overlooked and underpaid. "In terms of rich actors, a very small percentage of our union is doing very, very well. Most of the people are living hand-to-mouth, those are the people that we are striking for," Bacon said. He continued, "My situation is not the same as the majority of our union. When it comes to writers and actors, we are artists, so all of our members are artists so if you do well you get to make your art. On the other side, they

Guillermo del Toro prefaces the international debut of The Boy and the Heron by paying tribute to Hayao Miyazaki. The Boy and the Heron premiered at the Toronto Film Festival with a surprise guest who did not hold back his admiration for Hayao Miyazaki. Deadline reports the surprise appearance by director Guillermo Del Toro was met with an ovation at the Toronto Film Festival. The crowd might have not anticipated he was the one who would walk onstage when TIFF CEO Cameron Bailey introduced him as "Miyazaki's most passionate fan." The Academy Award-winning director was eager to introduce The Boy and the Heron, but not without first having his say on Miyazaki, who skipped the event to build on the film's mystery. "He knows what makes my fat butt move!" del Toro joked to a pleasantly surprised crowd. He then excitedly emphasized to everyone that they were the first to experience the film outside Japan. The Boy and the Heron deliberately went under the radar and

Marvel's original Spiderman was nothing like Peter Parker, and the fact that he wasn't demonstrates just how far the comics industry has come. Marvel undoubtedly has one of, if not the oldest, roster of genuine superheroes in pop culture. Unsurprisingly, not every hero stuck their landing when they first appeared, while others almost missed seeing print entirely. Of all of those who were nearly relegated to the waste bin before their Marvel Comics debut, the most famous is likely none other than everyone's favorite Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, and Marvel's original Spiderman didn't help. While the Golden Age of comics was replete with superheroes, the scale on which they operated was far different from the sprawling landscape fans are familiar with today. Though there were certainly the likes of Superman to embark upon grand adventures, every classic superhero was just as likely to be found taking part in an otherwise ordinary criminal investigation. This was e

Blue Beetle lead Xolo Maridueña speaks about Cobra Kai Season 6 and looks forward to a 30th-anniversary reunion with everyone involved in the series. Xolo Maridueña is grateful to be part of Cobra Kai five seasons in, and with the sixth and final season incoming, he hopes to reunite with the cast in 30 years to reminisce. Maridueña feels like "the party is ending" with Cobra Kai nearing the end of its series run. He regarded his experience with the show fondly in an interview with V Magazine, saying they were blessed to have the show end on its own terms. He also hoped for the opportunity to reunite with everyone and maybe do a follow-up show in 30 years. He said, "We're so grateful to have done six seasons, that's crazy. And I just hope that we get to reunite in 30 years and do, you know, Cobra Kai v2 or whatever that looks like. I love those guys." It seems the actor is already looking back at his time in Cobra Kai with nostalgia, even as fans anticipate t

The MCU has introduced many villains for Thor to face. But there's still time to introduce one that could bring about the return of Asgard. Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is one of the most storied and tragic characters in the franchise. When he first appeared, his hubris taught him a lesson in humility and protecting others, not for himself but because it was right. From there, he learned that he wasn't ready to rule and instead chose to be more traveled, protecting Earth with The Avengers. But when Ragnarok arrived, he had lost almost everything he held dear, from his home to his family. This was compounded in Thor: Love and Thunder when he even lost the love of his life, Jane Foster. With so much loss in the God of Thunder's life, it's impressive how well he dealt with it, even caring for Gorr's daughter like she was his own. But even still, there must be lingering questions in Thor's mind about whether he can restore what was lost and give his people

Episode 4 of Ahsoka suggests a major turning point is coming up for Ahsoka Tano, which could finally expand upon an infamous Clone Wars story arc. The fourth episode of Ahsoka ends with a return to an infamous Star Wars Rebels location, but this may actually be paving the way for the continuation of a story arc from Star Wars: The Clone Wars. After a brutal lightsaber duel with Baylan Skoll, Ahsoka found herself defeated and cast into the raging seas of Seatos. When she awoke, she was once again in the World Between Worlds, the mysterious Force realm that exists beyond time and space. Here, she was reunited with her former Jedi master, Anakin Skywalker, suggesting that the World Between Worlds is, in fact, part of the Netherworld of the Force and Ahsoka has died. If Ahsoka has indeed been killed by Baylan Skoll, it is not the first time she has died in Star Wars canon. Season 3 of The Clone Wars saw Ahsoka, Anakin and Obi-Wan Kenobi traveling to another mysterious Force realm that may

Nintendo shares a special video message from Super Mario Bros. veteran voice actor Charles Martinet and series director Shigeru Miyamoto. Voice actor Charles Martinet and director Shigeru Miyamoto shared a special video message for Mario fans. Nintendo uploaded a video to its official X, formerly Twitter, account, discussing Martinet's future as an official Mario ambassador after retiring as the voice of the titular plumber of the Super Mario Bros. series. "Travelling around the world, sharing the joy of the Mario family, and being able to continue meeting with all of you wonderful fans who I cherish absolutely the most is a great, great honor," Martinet said. "I'm very much looking forward to seeing all of you at events around the world in the years to come." Shigeru further reflected on Martinet's career as the voice of several iconic Mario characters, with the series director applauding the voice actor for his devotion to the beloved franchise. "

A closer look at the Fish-Men's plight in future One Piece arcs makes the Straw Hats seem like the villains in the Arlong Park arc. When the Straw Hat Pirates brought down Arlong Park, they were in the right. They did it to save their friend Nami and the rest of East Blue. Arlong was a menace, and his reign of terror needed to be stopped. If the Arlong Park arc is viewed in this context, the Straw Hats are the heroes. However, something about this story changes based on the context of future arcs. The Fish-Men and Merfolk are among the most tragic races in One Piece history. They have been the victims of oppression and slavery at the hands of humans for centuries. Furthermore, contrary to popular belief, they're not too fond of being relegated to living at the bottom of the ocean. Coexistence with humans on the surface has been a long, painful process. Looking at matters like this, the Straw Hats come off as villains in the sense of perpetuating a long cycle of Fish-Man abuse a

While mysterious, the curious alien in Wes Anderson's Asteroid City is the key to understanding the film's entire philosophy and message. Wes Anderson's filmography is as thought-provoking as it is visually immaculate. While characters and settings are perfectly framed -- leaving the audience no question as to what Anderson wants them to focus on -- the messages behind his films are usually much more difficult to pin down. Asteroid City is no exception to that rule. In fact, it's one of the more challenging films to analyze in recent memory. That's because Asteroid City is able to be interpreted in a number of ways. This is illustrated by the film often breaking from the primary story to show the audience that the events taking place are actually just a stage play being produced by an entirely different cast of characters. Viewers are invited to watch as writer Conrad Earp struggles to understand the motivations of his own creation Augie Steenbeck -- until he meets

The Season 1 finale of My Adventures with Superman capped off a wonderful season with a good episode, but one minor change could've made it great. The first season of My Adventures With Superman offered a surprisingly heartfelt and touching version of the Kal-El mythos. It wasn't just Clark Kent who was humble and awkward, but Superman was, too. His relationships with the characters, especially Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen, were the emotional center of the show. This is why the My Adventures With Superman Season 1 finale was good, but also why it wasn't great. The epic showdown with alien ships and robots was fun, but it was a missed opportunity. Earlier in the season, a multiversal force of Lois Lane helped this universe's Lois save Superman from Mr. Mxyzptlk. However, the 5th Dimension imp escaped their clutches and delivered Lois an item meant to make her life complicated. Yet, what really complicated things in the Season 1 finale was the Thanksgiving dinner she was att

Lepore says she had several discussions with Gunn about the best way to handle Baby Groot's story. I Am Groot director Kirsten Lepore says James Gunn's DNA was all over Season 2, even though his tenure within the Marvel Cinematic Universe ended with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Speaking to ComicBook, Lepore explained that while Gunn did not return as an executive producer for I Am Groot Season 2, he believed the team would do justice to the story. "I think he had a lot of trust and faith in us, especially after Season 1. I took it as an approval where I was like, 'Okay, we got our groove, we're doing our thing, James gives us the thumbs up. I think we're good to go for Season 2,'" Lepore said. "His fingerprints and DNA are always in there because he created this character." Gunn had worked as an executive producer on I Am Groot Season 1. He and Lepore discussed the best approach to managing the main character at the time. "There was a

Futurama's latest time-travel storyline cements the theory that it shares a universe with Disenchantment in a surprising but effective way. Futurama has played with the apocalypse on multiple occasions. Thanks to its distant future setting, the show has hinted at multiple ways humanity could collapse and rebuild itself. The latest hint at this cyclical existence goes a step further and quietly cements another show as part of Futurama's lore. "I Know What You Did Next XMas" -- Written by Ariel Ladensohn and Directed by Crystal Chesney-Thompson -- features a clever reference to one of Matt Groening's other animated properties, Netflix's Disenchantment. Notably, this direct reference suggests that the fantasy comedy is actually set in the distant future of Futurama's world. On top of seemingly confirming the shared universe between the two shows, it follows up a reoccurring element of Futurama's timeline. How Prof. Farnsworth Discovers a Futurama/Disencha

A new report claims the upcoming Star Wars series Skeleton Crew starring Jude Law has pushed its premiere date into 2024. A new report claims Star Wars: Skeleton Crew may have been delayed. Per Bespin Bulletin, a trusted insider on all things Star Wars, sources have told the site that the Jude Law-led adventure in the galaxy far, far away is not targeting a 2024 premiere. This comes after actor Jaleel White casually mentioned that Lucasfilm was going to drop the show on Disney+ in November 2023. Bespin Bulletin further noted that while they weren't able to track down a specific date, some indicated that Skeleton Crew could be delayed by a few months while others think it could be an entire year. A reason for the postponement was not provided but it's believed the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes have prompted Disney to pump the brakes on releasing some of its live-action content. Details on Skeleton Crew are still scarce but Lucasfilm has confirmed that the Star Wars show is l

James Gunn confirms Creature Commandos is unaffected by the strikes in Hollywood, noting that he thinks the series will really surprise audiences. Creature Commandos writer and DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn offers fans an update on the upcoming DC Universe series. Writing on his personal Instagram, based on a screenshot posted to Reddit, Gunn explained that production of the show has not been impacted by the ongoing Writers Guild of America and The Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists strikes. "It's animated so it's separate from the strike. We're working on it," the filmmaker wrote. "I love it. I think it's going to be so different than what people expect." At the time of writing, details on Creature Commandos are still scarce but the cast has been locked in. The rag-tag group of classic monsters-turned-soldiers will sport the vocal talents of Frank Grillo (Rick Flag Snr.), David Harbour (Eric Frankenstein), Mar

While previous seasons of Rick and Morty may have opted to take a hiatus between episodes, the upcoming Season 7 will stick to a traditional schedule. Fans of Rick and Morty need not worry about the show's upcoming Season 7 taking a break midway through. Per The Wrap, Adult Swim has confirmed that the next installment in the hit animated series will stick to a traditional release schedule rather than splitting up the episodes into separate volumes. The reason for sticking to a standardized released model has yet to be confirmed but it marks a change of pace for Rick and Morty, which has traditionally incorporated both brief and lengthy hiatus periods in the middle of a season. The normalized slate isn't the only change Rick and Morty fans can expect in Season 7. The show's co-creator and star Justin Roiland, who lent his voice to both leading characters, is no longer part of the show after he was hit with domestic violence allegations and claims of workplace harassment.
