It’s always a sad time when your favorite Not Ready for Primetime Player leaves “Saturday Night Live.” Sadder still when those leaving have been a powerhouse of the NBC long running sketch comedy series. We’re speaking of course about Kate McKinnon. She’s absolutely one of the high points of “SNL” since joining in 2012. Reports indicate she’ll be exiting in good company though, as Pete Davidson, Aidy Bryant, and Kyle Mooney are also leaving. Expect tearful goodbyes during “Saturday Night Live” season 47’s finale tomorrow night.

We are delighted to share the first official trailer for George Miller’s next feature film, “Three Thousand Years of Longing.” The long-gestating film has an incredible cast, and anything Miller creates is always worth seeing. Early descriptions explain the film as centering around “a scholar on a trip to a speaking engagement in Istanbul inadvertently summons a Djinn who details his long journey through fantasy and history as he endeavors to tempt this scholar — who claims she wants for nothing — to make her three wishes.” Tilda Swinton stars as the scholar, alongside Idris Elba as the Djinn. The film, which Miller co-wrote…

First, Disney+ saves “Daredevil” today. THEN, we kinda sorta hear through unofficial channels that Charlie Cox is for sure coming back. Which of course prompts us to run around the Nerdbot offices like Michael Scott in “The Office.” BUT THEN, our attention got brought to a sly photo from a “Marvel’s Defenders” alum. Yesterday, Mike Colter (“Marvel’s Luke Cage”) posted an image on Instagram with another hero- Krysten Ritter (“Marvel’s Jessica Jones”). He’s since edited the comment with it, to really tease us.This *could* just be coincidence, but, it could also mean we’ll be seeing them return as well! Hell,…

This just in-a new “Daredevil” series is in the works at Disney+. Matt Corman and Chris Ord are writing the project, and will executive produce.No word yet on whether or not Charlie Cox will return as Matt Murdock / Daredevil. But, our hopes are high. Especially after key characters from “Marvel’s Daredevil” Netflix series made appearances in Disney+’s “Hawkeye” Marvel Studios series. And Cox himself appearing as Murdock in “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” And as of February, we knew Cox was definitely in for something from Marvel Studios in the future.Variety first broke this news. So far, Marvel Studios nor Disney+…

We are so very sad to share the news of iconic composer Vangelis has passed away. With such influential projects as “Chariots of Fire” and “Blade Runner,” his sound was immediately recognizable and unique.  Representatives for Vangelis say he passed away in a hospital in France. He was 79.

Netflix’s “The Umbrella Academy” is coming back for a third season this summer! This morning, the streaming giant released a full-length trailer for the returning series. Based on the comic books written by Gerard Way and illustrated by Gabriel Bá, the source material continues to be a fan-favorite. The official synopsis for season 3: “After putting a stop to 1963’s doomsday, the Umbrella Academy return home to the present, convinced they prevented the initial apocalypse and fixed this godforsaken timeline once and for all. But after a brief moment of celebration, they realize things aren’t exactly (okay, not at all)…

This just in-Season 2 of Prime Video’s high fantasy series “The Wheel of Time” has wrapped! This news was confirmed by the show. While season one did not quite hit all the notes source material fans were hoping for, online discourse made it clear the show found new fans as well. Season 2 will introduce more characters from the Robert Jordan series of novels, and we’re pretty damn excited for it. Check out the wrap video below. Our favorite part? The Serpent Gift Stunt crew shirt! Season 1 of “The Wheel of Time” is available to stream on Amazon Prime…

We are so excited to finally see something from Dr. George Miller’s next feature film, “3000 Years of Longing.” The long-gestating film has an incredible cast, and anything Miller creates is always worth seeing.Early descriptions explain the film as centering around “a scholar on a trip to a speaking engagement in Istanbul inadvertently summons a Djinn who details his long journey through fantasy and history as he endeavors to tempt this scholar — who claims she wants for nothing — to make her three wishes.” Tilda Swinton stars as the scholar, alongside Idris Elba as the Djinn. Elba tweeted the teaser this morning.…

You’d be hard-pressed to name another iconic personality as integral and historically important to a franchise as the late great Stan Lee. Not only did he absolutely shape the world of comic books, but his influence is still felt across the superhero genre in film. Having passed away in 2018 at the incredible age of 95, it’s strange to think we may be seeing him in future Marvel Studios projects. Today, Marvel Studios announced a 20-year deal to continue to use Stan Lee’s likeness and name in a variety of projects. This includes future movies, shows, VR, theme parks, and…

At long last, the sequel to “Enchanted” is coming. Filming started on “Disenchanted” in 2021, and we hadn’t heard anything about it since then. We knew most of the cast was returning, and we knew who was directing it. To be fair, that’s still kind of all we know. BUT- we do have a 2022 release date! “Disenchanted” will star Oscar winner Amy Adams as Giselle. Patrick Dempsey, James Marsden, and Idina Menzel are also set to return. The film will also include Maya Rudolph, Yvette Nicole Brown, Jayma Mays, Kolton Stewart, Oscar Nuñez, and Gabby Baldacchino. Adam Shankman is directing, which means a high chance of more…
