This past weekend, 2-time Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet hosted “Saturday Night Live,” with musical guest Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band. While we were really were hoping for a “Dune” sketch, we have to say the resulting episode was one of the better ones from the past two seasons. Admittedly, the thing that really sold us on Chalamet hosting came during his monolog, where he shared a bit of his personal history with the long-running 46-season sketch comedy show. Turns out, Chalamet’s mom is an actress too, and during the 1990s, she did background work on “Saturday Night Live.”…
WE ARE SO EXCITED about this. Like, we’re kind of surprised we’re this excited, but, here we are. If you’ll recall, Netflix is saying goodbye to the “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” after part four airs later this year, and that kind of sucks. BUT, it sure looks like we’re getting a rather special sendoff for the newest version of Ms. Spellman. The original Aunts are coming!!!That’s right, both Caroline Rhea and Beth Broderick are gonna show up!
You’d think this is the type of thing that would’ve been confirmed during yesterday’s Disney Investor Day Marvel Studios’ portion, but there is a story circulating right now that Jaimie Alexander may be returning to the MCU as Sif.This story comes from Deadline, who claims exclusive knowledge.

We’ve been anxiously awaiting footage from and news about Disney+’s upcoming “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” spinoff series all about Cassian Andor. Thankfully, there was a sizzle reel released during yesterday’s Disney Investor Day streaming event that showed off a bit of what’s to come in the show!Introduced by LucasFilm President Kathleen Kennedy, the reel had a short snippet of an interview with “Andor” star Diego Luna, who played Captain Cassian Andor in the “Rogue One” film. Luna will not only be starring in the series, but he’s also executive producing, which is cool. You can see the official…
One of the things confirmed during yesterday’s Disney Investor Day was the fact that Taika Waititi will indeed be helming a “Star Wars” film. Back in 2017, Kathleen Kennedy made a comment that she thought Waititi would be perfect to direct a story set in the galaxy far, far away.Turns out, she was making a job offer? “I would love for him [Waititi] to direct a Star Wars movie. I think he has exactly the right sensibility. It was very exciting to see him step into the Marvel universe and do such an amazing job with Thor.” She even asked NewsHub to “let…

Disney animated feature “Raya and the Last Dragon” is moving up, hitting Disney+ on March 5th, 2021. Animated film “Encanto” will open November 24th,…
We’re all still coming to terms with the lasting impact of the worldwide movie theater shutdown in 2020, and what ongoing shuttering of our cinemas will mean for future releases. No surprise really that filmmakers are starting to come forward to voice their opinions on the matter, one way or another. The recent Warner Bros. Pictures full slate shift of theatrical releases to HBO Max has caused some pretty serious waves across the industry, and we’re just starting to hear from some of the key players how they feel about it. Denis Villenueve, Oscar nominated filmmaker who’s massive retelling of…
