This change thankfully doesn’t seem to be done with any malice. Some strike postponements leading to scheduling conflicts with Garfield, and there doesn’t seem to be any bad blood between him or the production. The cast for “Frankenstein” will still include Mia Goth (“Pearl”), Christoph Waltz (“Most Dangerous Game”), Felix Kammerer (“All Quiet on the Western Front”), Lars Mikkelsen (“The Witcher”), David Bradley (“Pinocchio”), Christian Convery (“Sweet Tooth”), and Oscar Isaac (“Spider-Man:…

Adult Swim addressed “Steamboat Willie” hitting the public domain in the most on-brand way possible- turning it into a raunchy animation. The short is the first appearance of the iconic mascot of the brand, Mickey Mouse. It hit public domain on January 1st, 2024. This means people can use that version of the character, without the full force of the notoriously litigious company coming down on them.

I can’t go any further than that at the moment. There are too many factors.” Co-star Scott Grimes chimed in to remind…
