Amazon Prime Video’s upcoming “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” is due later this year. Empire Magazine has been teasing fans this last week with new images and characters. This morning included a Harfoot (predecessors of Hobbits), and an iconic tower. The Harfoots are pretty much exactly like what we know to be Hobbits- short, feet with hair, obsessed with food- but they haven’t yet found the Shire, or called it home. “We’re a nomadic tribe, moving with the weather and the fertility of the crops. We have big caravans on wooden wheels and we’re very good…

If you’re a fan of “The Hunger Games,” chances are you’re at the least curious about the upcoming prequel.

And, highlights a very young Coriolanus Snow, who we’d eventually know best as President.We know “West Side Story” star Rachel Zegler will play Lucy Gray, alongside Tom Blythe as Coriolanus Snow. Lionsgate premiered a teaser trailer for the upcoming film. While it doesn’t give away…anything really…we do get a release date.”The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” hits theaters…

We’re not sure how to tell you this, but Jared Leto may have just confirmed “Morbius 2.” This is frankly baffling, and we’re not sure what to do with this information. We’ll just let the Oscar winner tell you himself… Obviously that title is a joke, and the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” theme should dissuade anyone from thinking this is real. But. Stranger things have happened. Sony’s “Morbius” returns to theaters today.

This just in-incredible sci-fi series “Raised by Wolves” will not be coming back for a third season. HBO Max has opted to cancel the visionary series.HBO Max released a statement about the choice:“While we are not proceeding with a third season of Raised by Wolves, we are beyond grateful to the stellar cast and crew. Our creators Aaron Guzikowski, Ridley Scott, David W. Zucker, and the entire team at Scott Free Productions, for their beautiful artistry and unique ability to immerse fans into the world of Kepler-22b.” Abubakar Salim, who plays Father in the series, has launched a call to action…

Those pesky Rotten Tomatoes review bombers are back on their bs. Following Star Wars and star Ewan McGregor’s very public anti-bullying and anti-racist statements, the audience score for the new Disney+ series has plummeted. True, one could assume this is simply because the audience didn’t care for episode 3, but, we all know that’s not what’s happening here. “Kenobi” star Moses Ingram publicly shared the harassment and hate-filled messages and interactions she’s been getting from ‘fans.’ The official Star Wars social media accounts issued a statement, “There are more than 20 million sentient species in the Star Wars galaxy, don’t…

Disney+ shared some pretty big casting news today for their upcoming adaptation of Rick Riordan’s “Percy Jackson” series. The show has already gotten its fair share of fan praise and ire in equal measures for casting. Praise, because lead Walker Scobell (“The Adam Project”) is much closer in age to Percy when we first meet him. Ire, because Leah Sava Jeffries will be playing Annabeth, and some fans are just plain racist. Today’s news includes some other pretty important characters, like Mrs. Dodds, who will be played by Megan Mullally (“Parks & Rec,” “Will & Grace”). Mrs. Dodds is Percy’s…pretty…

Maybe “Top Gun: Maverick’s” box office has been enough to prompt an announcement from Marvel Studios. We’re talking of course about the news “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” will be hitting Disney+ later this month. Sure, we knew that was likely to happen sometime this year. But mid-June, in the key weeks of summer blockbuster season, seems like an odd choice.The news was confirmed by official Marvel Studios’ and Disney+ social media accounts, along with the date. “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” hits Disney+ on June 22nd, 2022.

Call it a marketing ploy, but it sure seems like Netflix’s upcoming “The Addams Family” spinoff series “Wednesday” knows their audience. The first television series from Tim Burton, this will be a tale about Gomez and Mortita’s daughter as a high school student. Wednesday is a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting 16-year-old Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy. Season One will follow Wednesday as she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the murder mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all…
