We don’t typically cover comedy specials here at The Playlist. That isn’t because we don’t enjoy them, but there are just so many, it’s difficult to keep up. But one way to ensure that we’ll pay attention to a specific comedy special is to get Josh Safdie to direct it.

Aside from the mixed quality of writing, one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s biggest issues is the lack of key characters that audiences can attach themselves to and root for. The first three phases had Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, and Captain America. But following Avengers: Endgame, there has been a lack of those types of characters, not that Marvel hasn’t tried.
One of the characters they tried to push to be the next big face of the franchise is Carol Danvers, aka Captain Marvel. Portrayed by actress Brie Larson, her 2019 debut film Captain Marvel did rather well at the box office. However, following some comments made by the actress herself and her rather wooden performance in the film, many grew to dislike both her and the character.

Despite being generally well-received by critics, The Marvels was a box office disaster for Marvel Studios, making the chances of a direct sequel very slim. Even so, we are almost certain to see the three titular heroes in the MCU again at some point.
While speaking to The Playlist, Brie Larson was asked if a reunion with co-stars Iman Vellani (Kamala Khan) and Teyonah Parris (Monica Rambeau) was on the cards.
“I just loved being with those ladies so much,” replied the Academy Award-winner. “And I think that the sentiment of it is so right to me and is much more where I’m at in my life, which is, there’s no one superhero that can save us. It takes all kinds of people that have their own special skill sets and the ability to understand that the brink of disaster cannot be stopped by one. It’s all of us coming together.

The third film in MCU’s Phase 5, ‘The Marvels,’ ended up being a significant box-office disappointment, leading to several changes within the MCU. Despite featuring three key characters for the future of the franchise, the sequel to ‘Captain Marvel’ was heavily criticized by both fans and critics.
Although ‘The Marvels’ was widely regarded as a “bad” movie, it did set up some crucial elements for the future. Monica Rambeau is now trapped in an alternate reality that appears to be inhabited by mutants, and Kamala Khan has embarked on her Young Avengers initiative.
The future of Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel was the only one not hinted at in ‘The Marvels,’ though she did vow to do everything in her power to rescue Monica. While Larson has previously mentioned that there are more stories to tell about Captain Marvel, recent rumors suggest that ‘Captain Marvel 3’ may no longer be in the works.

The third movie released as a part of MCU’s Phase 5 was ‘The Marvels.’ The movie was an eye-watering box-office loss and prompted numerous changes within the MCU. The second installment of ‘Captain Marvel’ franchise was notoriously slammed by both critics and fans despite staring not one but three important characters for the future of the MCU.
Despite being an overall “bad” movie, ‘The Marvels’ did tease some important things for the future, Monica Rambeau is now stuck in a different reality, one that is seemingly populated by mutants. Kamala Khan has started her Young Avengers initiative.
The only character whose future wasn’t teased in the movie was Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel, although he did promise to do everything in her power to get Monica back. In the past, Larson stated that there are more stories to tell regarding Captain Marvel, but the most recent rumors claim that...

With San Diego Comic-Con just over, there’s quite a bit of excitement about the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And even though “The Marvels” didn’t do amazingly well at the box office, Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel is seemingly a big piece of the MCU’s future. However, she’s not really at liberty to discuss said future.
During an interview with The Playlist’s Bingeworthy podcast, where she’s talking about her acclaimed limited series, “Lessons in Chemistry,” Brie Larson did drop some Marvel nuggets.

Kevin Feige is all set to take the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in a new direction. His vision has already kickstarted with the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine, which features a stellar cast including Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, reprising their titular roles. It would be their first entry into the MCU, creating much anticipation among fans.

However, many might wonder about the merciless jokes that are a significant part of the Deadpool franchise. Since the upcoming film features quite many jokes about the superhero franchise, the script would have faced some minor inconveniences, but the fact is otherwise.

Ever since the Deadpool franchise kickstarted, it remained true to delivering great punch lines, without restricting the character in any way. This approach not only elevated the character’s appeal but also contributed heavily to making it popular.

Despite having made his name off small independent movies, especially with the intimate and subtle Oscar-nominated film “Minari,” filmmaker Lee Isaac Chung has proven with this weekend’s “Twisters” movie that he’s a versatile director and can handle blockbusters, action, and scale (read our review).
We recently had Chung on The Playlist Podcast to talk with host Charles Barfield about all things “Twisters.” But, as the show noted, the filmmaker got his feet wet and blockbuster chops ready by directing two different “Star Wars” series, “The Mandalorian” and some upcoming episodes of the forthcoming series, “Skeleton Crew” (rumored to be arriving in December).

Released almost 30 years ago, “Twister” has stood the test of time to be a favorite among film fans. Now, decades later, we finally get a sequel to the original, titled “Twisters.” And filmmaker Lee Isaac Chung has joined The Playlist Podcast to talk about it.
For those not familiar with Chung, the filmmaker really broke out thanks to his work on the film, “Minari,” which won a slew of awards after its release.

As with any massive awards announcement, some nominees are celebrating this morning, and some who decidedly are not. Despite what was once considered a generally weak year in several categories, the 2024 Emmy Awards were full of deserving talent who were unfortunately not recognized for their efforts. The biggest omission was for “The Curse” across multiple categories. But not everyone can get into the party, right? Keeping all that in mind, here are some of the biggest snubs and surprises of the 2024 Emmy Awards nominations.

If the upcoming crime series at Amazon, “Criminal,” hasn’t piqued your interest yet, it should. Variety announced this week the two leads, Emilia Clarke and Luke Evans, and the project is shaping up quite nicely.
The series is based on the graphic novels by comics writers Ed Brubaker (creator of Marvel’s Winter Solider character) and Sean Phillips and is said to be about an interlocking, intergenerational story of families connected through shared criminal history.

Marvel’s upcoming “WandaVision” spinoff series “Agatha” is going to be “really scary,” at least according to one top level studio executive. Brad Winderbaum, Marvel Studios’ head of streaming, television and animation, recently appeared on the “Official Marvel Podcast” (via The Playlist) and said “Agatha” will only be fun for so long until it starts scaring viewers.
“‘Agatha’ is really fun, but it’s really scary. And it gets quite dramatic,” Winderbaum teased. “She’s an amazing anti-hero. It lures you in with the fun of Halloween, and before you know it, you’re crying.”
“It’s a Marvel brand of scary. It’s a Halloween show,” he added. “There are deadly stakes in this series. It’s a fun ride, but it’s a dangerous one.”

Let's face it, The Big Bang Theory is an iconic but dated show. In the year it came out, it did a lot to legitimize geeks and set the stage for the era where everyone loves comics, not just nerds.
But what to watch instead? There are actually quite a few decent shows about geeks and their culture that surpass The Big Bang Theory in every way. Our list is not limited to sitcoms, but if you were a fan of Tbbt and were looking for a good replacement, this list will definitely have it.

For many Star Wars fans, Andor is one of, if not the best Disney+ show set in the Galaxy Far, Far Away Lucasfilm has produced, and even though we know how Rebel operative Cassian Andor's story ultimately ends, there's a lot of excitement for the upcoming second season, which will lead directly into the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
During an appearance at this year's Ace Superhero Comic Con (via The Popverse), actor Diego Luna shared his enthusiasm to get started (production is expected to begin later this year), while confirming that we will see other characters from Rogue One.
“I can tell you, Rogue One is coming, so there will be characters there that you will recognize. There will be cool stuff. For those who love Rogue One, this season is going to be very special. And it’s going to be fascinating to go straight...

As Disney+’s Andor series winds down its two-season build-up to the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, expect to see yet another familiar face from the 2016 Star Wars film.
As part of an as-yet-unpublished interview with The Playlist, Alonso Ruizpalacios — who directed the last three episodes of Andor Season 2 — apparently let slip that he worked on the Star Wars TV series with heavyweight actors like “Stellan Skarsgård, Forest Whitaker, and Ben Mendelsohn.”

One of the directors of Andor has revealed a few details about the upcoming season two, including a returning Ben Mendelsohn…
A prequel to 2016’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Andor is set to conclude its own narrative in its second and final season, due to appear on Disney+ later this year or early next.
Writer and producer Tony Gilroy has previously confirmed that season two will lead directly into Rogue One’s events, which implies that we might see one or two characters from the movie make an appearance in the series.
It’s something director Alonso Ruizpalacios, who’s overseeing the last three episodes in season two’s 12-part run, has confirmed in an interview with The Playlist. In fact, it’s likely that the filmmaker may have given away more than he was meant to.

When Squid Game absolutely exploded in popularity upon its release in 2021, you may recall rumours that David Fincher was going to be working on a US version of the series. Well, according to The Playlist, not only is the project still in development, but Fincher may have even put the Chinatown prequel series on the back burner to focus on Squid Game.
The report states that Fincher has been “quietly working” on Squid Game for the last two years and has even tapped Dennis Kelly (Utopia) to write the project. The report notes that it’s “unclear” where the Squid Game remake is at, but it could be Fincher’s next directing project, considering how he pivoted away from Chinatown, which has all its episodes written.

The late Stanley Kubrick was one of the greatest legendary directors of all time, having gifted to the cinema the likes of critically acclaimed pieces like 1968’s sci-fi/adventure 2001: A Space Odyssey and 1980’s horror-mystery The Shining. Being so experienced in his respective field, the filmmaker was also an incredibly paranoid human being when it came to his works.

This was especially displayed while he was partly working with Hollywood veteran mastermind Steven Spielberg, on his last film which was completed by Spielberg after his death. This was the sci-fi/fantasy A.I. Artificial Intelligence from 2001, and Kubrick appeared to be quite anxious after entrusting Spielberg with the task of directing the film.

The quirks and quiddities of Marvel films are such that you either fall in love with them or feel mortified to even call yourself a fan, there’s no in-between. The same thing unfolded when Doctor Strange 2 premiered in 2022, polarizing the fandom in its wake. While some seemed to be pleased with the sequel, others were infuriated with the lack of depth in the plot and characters.

As one of the most versatile actors in Hollywood, Benedict Cumberbatch’s filmography boasts of many memorable roles that have showcased his vast talent. The British star, who is now synonymous with the mystical Doctor Strange in the MCU, has also had the opportunity to be part of another big franchise, Star Trek, in which he played Khan Noonien Singh in the 2nd film of the rebooted movie series.

J.J. Abrams, who directed the 1st two films of the rebooted trilogy, had a very different aesthetic, which saw many of the actors including Cumberbatch filming half-n*ked scenes. For one particular shower scene, the Marvel star went through rigorous training and diet to get into shape, but found out later that this sequence was edited out from the film.

Back in 2013, Armie Hammer and Johnny Depp joined forces in Disney’s infamous Western epic The Lone Ranger. Considering Depp was coming off the success of the Pirates of the Caribbean flicks, which pushed him to new heights, Disney wanted him to headline another major franchise.
However, the House of Mouse’s attempt to make The Lone Ranger a franchise Kickstarter fell face-first, as it became a historic box-office bomb. But despite the movie’s misfortune at the box office, it seems the two leads got along with each other pretty well, as Hammer got to know the real Depp.

There’s perhaps no other director in Hollywood history who has received an equal amount of love and hate as Zack Snyder. The filmmaker’s resume is filled with controversial films, some of which are even called ‘ahead of time’. Owing to such a reputation, even studio executives sometimes replicate the sentiment shared by moviegoers.

Jude Law is revealing why he turned down the opportunity to portray the legendary Man of Steel onscreen.
The Oscar-nominated actor recently opened up on The Playlist’s The Discourse podcast about once being considered for the superhero role in a potential film directed by Brett Ratner.
“So this is true. Yeah. And there was a process of flirtation going on,” Law recalled. “And I always resisted because it just felt like [off]. And I know you can say, ‘Well, but you played Yon-Rogg and Dumbledore!’ It just felt like a step too far.”
He continued, “And it was when Brett Ratner was going to direct, I think. And they didn’t have a script, if I remember rightly. Did they have a script? I don’t remember reading one. This is a long time ago. They brought me the suit. They thought, ‘This might change your mind.’”

The role of Superman is undoubtedly one of the most exciting ones in the world of superheroes. So, if you’re into that sort of thing, there is certainly a lot to take from the role, and it is one of the best roles that an actor can get. But, as it often turns out in Hollywood, some actors tend to have a false perception of a role at one point. Just remember that Sean Connery (in)famously rejected the role of Gandalf because he did not understand it, whatever that means. Well, famous British actor Jude Law recently revealed how he was also offered a superhero role more than two decades ago, but he turned it down. The project was ultimately scrapped, but even if it had been done, Law wouldn’t have been a part of it.

Jude Law has spoken out about his decision to decline the role of Superman 20 years ago because “it just felt off”.
Speaking on The Playlist’s Discourse podcast, Law conceded that his resistance to joining a franchise seemed unlikely, given his later involvement in the Captain Marvel and the Fantastic Beasts series, but that he had never been especially keen to take the lead in the axed 2002 Superman film Flyby.

British actor Jude Law once had a “flirtation” about playing Superman.
The movie in question was titled Superman: Flyby. Written by J.J. Abrams, the story would have explored a new twist on the hero’s origin.
In a new interview with The Playlist, Law talked about his considerations of the role.

Many actors have come close to playing Superman over the years, but we admittedly forgot that British actor Jude Law was once among them.
For those who may not know, Superman: Flyby was written by J.J. Abrams and set out to deliver a fresh take on the Man of Steel's origin story. Krypton was going to factor heavily into proceedings, with Lex Luthor now a government agent obsessed with UFOs and Lois Lane intent on exposing him to the public.
According to various leaks, Superman was set to square off with a group of villainous Kryptonians, ultimately dying and being sent to Kryptonian heaven to meet his father, Jor-El, before being resurrected. As you'd expect, Kal-El would return to save the day, only for a cliffhanger ending to feature him returning to his home planet.

Fans have long been demanding a sequel to Nicolas Cage’s Face/Off, and while there was indeed a plan for it, somehow it never gets off the ground. Director Adam Wingard, who famously helmed two Godzilla films, even admitted he met with the actor.

Even after all the campaign efforts to get a follow-up to the 1997 action thriller movie, Wingard focused on making a sequel to 2021’s Godzilla vs. Kong, but fans cannot blame him. Cage also loved the franchise that they ended up talking about it rather than Face/Off.

Benedict Cumberbatch plays Stephen Strange a.k.a Doctor Strange in the MCU. One of the leading figures of the Avengers, Strange, has made multiple appearances, including Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. The character was last seen in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Though Strange is an important character, his future in the MCU has been unclear. However, a recent update sees him taking a backseat to make way for Benedict Wong’s Wong to act as a recruiter. According to a new rumor, Wong, the current Sorcerer Supreme, will be recruiting new Avengers for the film Captain America: Brave New World.

“I was having a man’s life in a woman’s body,” Diane von Furstenberg, famous Belgian fashion designer and businesswoman, says more than once in the new Hulu documentary. It’s a weird sentiment to say in a doc about female trailblazing empowerment, agency, and freedom, but one supposes it fits for the era when women’s lib was thriving, but perhaps not every woman was reaping its benefits.
But Furstenberg certainly was.

To say Lily Gladstone’s awards season was historical is a gross understatement. Thanks to her performance in “Killers of the Flower Moon,” Gladstone was able to highlight indigenous representation in a way that no one before her has been able to do. And even months later, she is able to reflect on it and make some observations.

Michael Rosenbaum was supposed to have more screen time in the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' franchise.The 51-year-old actor portrayed Martinex in two of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) flicks and explained that his involvement was meant to be much more significant than the supporting part it turned out to be.Speaking at Nashville Comicon recently, Michael said: "The role was supposed to be a lot bigger. They cut a lot out."You were supposed to see... it was written in the script to see Martinex's powers, which were really cool. But they had so much to talk about in the script that they ended up cutting it out at the end. And there was some other stuff."The 'Smallville' actor explained that he does not have any bad feelings towards director James Gunn and was grateful to have the chance to work with his friend on the movie.

The indigenous Yanomami tribe living in the Amazon rainforest on the border between Brazil and Venezuela is dwindling. Only 35,000 remain. They live extraordinary lives that some might classify as primitive, as they exist primarily without any modern technology. They live off the land, so to say, hunting and gathering their food, traveling on foot, and living in houses made of natural materials, without electricity or material comforts. They essentially live as if the past 500 years of humanity, or maybe 2500 for that matter, did not happen.

Rachel Brosnahan and Boyd Holbrook have something in common. Yes, they’re both actors, but they’re also both incredibly underrated. Sure, Brosnahan has received all sorts of acclaim for her role in “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” but she’s just damn good in almost anything she works in. And Holbrook elevates every role. That’s why the reason a re-release of “Boomtown” caught our eye. A film from 2017 is getting a re-release, and a new trailer.

Director Denis Villeneuve hit it big this year with the release of his sci-fi epic Dune: Part Two. Based on Frank Herbert’s iconic novel series, the film followed the story of feudal noble families in the future. Villeneuve’s handling of the adaptation, which was largely considered to be unadaptable, was lauded by critics and fans alike.
While Villeneuve seems to have cracked the sci-fi genre, he reportedly was full of praise for his contemporary Christopher Nolan’s Tenet. The Dune director mentioned that he was in awe of the film while watching it and that he had watched it several times. Tenet remains one of Nolan’s more divisive works and earned only $359 million at the box office.

Taylor Sheridan is on top of the world, and he has made a name for himself by writing some of the most solid scripts that have taken Hollywood by storm. In the last decade, the filmmaker has established himself to be one of the top names that you need to watch out for. Sheridan’s name has been attached to some of our favorite shows.

Sheridan is known for telling character-driven stories that capture the attention of his audience. He has entertained his audience with works like Yellowstone, 1883, Tulsa King, Mayor of Kingstown, and many more. However, it looks like the screenwriter could return to one of his darkest movies as he gave his word to make the beloved series a trilogy.

Taylor Sheridan is one of the best screenwriter-director of current times. While he might be known best now for creating the epic Western Yellowstone and several of its spin-off series, he also wrote the critically acclaimed Sicario. The action thriller directed by Denis Villeneuve, is considered one of the best movies of the genre.

However, when roped in to write its sequel, Sicario: Day of the Soldado, Sheridan put the studio in trouble for writing a script that made the first movie seem like a comedy.

Grief is rotting Karsh’s (Vincent Cassel) teeth. It’s been four years since he lost his wife, the beautiful Becca (Diane Kruger), to a violent form of bone cancer that ate away at her body until her brittle frame could no longer sustain life. The loss changed Karsh’s life in more ways than one, the former producer of vaguely described industrial videos taking a sharp turn to become the sleek-looking CEO of the aptly named high-tech burial company GraveTech.

His latest prods at some of the same themes, although the thorny little beast at the center of “The Apprentice” is far from a fictional creature of fables.
