We don’t want to sound the French robot alarm without more information, but. Suddenly this morning, the official accounts for Daft Punk have come back to life.

Sometimes it’s Hasbro, sometimes it’s LEGO. We’re not saying that’s fully the case with this new crop of items, but. It kinda is?Marvel has officially revealed Hasbro and LEGO sets for…

Picture it, 2003. “Malcolm in the Middle” is much-watch comedy on Fox. Series star Frankie Muniz is super popular, and gets his own teenage James Bond film franchise. “Agent Cody Banks” was a James Bond-esque Disney film which also stared Hillary Duff. For whatever reason, Muniz took to Twitter to toot his own ‘bad ass’ horn for playing the character. And also…talk about what Cody Banks might be up to now? So with Disney+ revisiting pretty much every single title in their catalogue, maybe we’ll eventually see a revisit. You can watch “Agent Cody Banks” on Amazon here.

Back in 2017, rumors swirled about scenes that were filmed and cut for David Ayer’s “Suicide Squad.” There were stories about additional Joker (Jared Leto) scenes, possible Batman inclusions, and of course- more Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie).
