Sound the Steven Spielberg movie news klaxon! Just last month we brought you the exciting news that in-demand Oppenheimer and The Fall Guy star Emily Blunt is in talks to lead the legendary American filmmaker's mysterious new UFO movie, currently slated for release in May 2026. And now we're getting word of another big British name who could be boarding the project. According to the latest issue of Production Weekly, Challengers' Josh O'Connor may yet be the second hand in Spielberg's very vaguely described 'two-hander', though it is important to note at this time that Universal have yet to confirm any major casting news on the hotly anticipated project.
Precious little is known about what Spielberg is cooking up for his big return to blockbuster territory so far, but we have already learned that the filmmaker is reteaming with his Jurassic Park scribe David Koepp for this one, whilst fellow...

With Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom came the end of the Dceu, otherwise known as the Snyderverse. And while some celebrate its demise, there are also many who mourn the loss of their heroes. But before we turn the page completely, let’s take a look back and rank the entire DC Extended Universe. I’m sure this won’t be controversial at all.
17. Suicide Squad (2016)
It doesn’t seem likely that we’ll ever get the fabled Ayer Cut of this film, but the one we received was rough. Filled with enough licensed music that it feels like a music video, Suicide Squad does everything wrong. From characters being introduced multiple times to the worst iteration of the Joker ever put to film, everything about this one is just a mess. If you love plots that don’t make sense and bad CGI, then this one is for you.

Over his 40-year career, director Chuck Russell has had a knack for turning hungry young talent into movie stars, regularly conjuring memorable performances. He advocated for Patricia Arquette to be the lead in her first film role, 1987’s “A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.” He made Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz household names in his 1994 blockbuster “The Mask” — knowing Diaz was perfect even though it was her first movie. And he helped transition Dwayne Johnson from wrestling to the acting world by having him star in the 2002 epic “The Scorpion King.”
No matter the genre, scope or budget, Russell loves seeing what raw talent can achieve — a fascination he picked up while cutting his teeth in the world of theater.
“We have to humanize these things, whether it’s action or comedy or drama,” he says. “You gotta get into your performers’ heads. You gotta get their actual personality into their performances.

Warning: heavy spoilers for "Deadpool & Wolverine" follow.
"Deadpool & Wolverine" — much like the "Captain America" movies — uses its third entry to tell a much bigger story than its previous two installments. Like "Captain America: Civil War," the latest "Deadpool" does an epic crossover that brings multiple heroes together, but this time on a much larger scale. Undoubtedly, this is kind of the "Deadpool" equivalent of "Avengers: Endgame," but for the entire history of Marvel movies made by 20th Century Fox, as well as the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The result is polarizing, but for many, it will work like catnip.
This is honestly a perfect send-off to more than 25 years of superhero movies before and even after the MCU changed cinema, an homage to the movies that built the superhero landscape as we know it, to the movies that maybe weren't as influential or successful, and also perhaps the movies that never got made.

The late Bob Newhart, with his amazing comedy timing and roles, had entertained audiences for several decades. Now, with his recent passing, several interviews have resurfaced, painting the actor in his usual deadpan humor. One such chitchat revealed his surprising wish for Dwayne Johnson portraying him in a biopic.

Newhart had added that the duo shared some very similar features, with people often mistaking him for the WWE legend. In a past interview, he had shed more light on this biopic choice of his and presented his trademark comedic self.

It’s clear that Fast & Furious is a huge hit, and it’s no surprise it’s already got 10 movies under its belt. As a result, many actors have been cast over time, but others have remained and have even become icons of the whole franchise.
Vin Diesel in Fast & Furious (Universal Pictures)
Vin Diesel is one of them. It’s impossible to think of these movies without picturing him. Because he had made a name for himself within the franchise, he was able to reach a higher level by becoming a producer later on. However, his mother wanted him to aim even higher, practically pushing him to do so.

Speculation regarding a 2024 release for The Smashing Machine featuring Dwayne Johnson has ramped up now that the film’s production has wrapped.
You might have come across some of the speclation that has been swirling around of late regarding The Smashing Machine's potential release date. Despite A24 denying it, stories have continued to emerge that claim the film is coming late this year, complete with the kind of awards campaigning that A24 should probably attached to last year’s The Iron Claw (but didn’t).
Dwayne Johnson is the lead in The Smashing Machine, a film about the successes and tragedies of Mark Kerr, a mixed martial arts champion who certainly did not live the ultra-squeaky clean life that we’ve come to expect from most of Johnson’s characters.
This career swerve of Johnson’s is adding extra zest to the film story behind this one, not least...

The currently serving 46th President of the United States of America, Joe Biden has been making a lot of headlines lately. While his uncannily changed behavior in public, with him making unbelievable mistakes out loud, was one thing, his withdrawing from the 2024 U.S. presidential race and endorsing Kamala Harris instead further has him under the brightest limelight of this season.

But while people can’t really make out what is actually going on out there, a lot of old clips of Biden have also been resurfacing lately, mostly from when he served on the County Council and continued his private law practice at the same time. And, surprisingly enough, one of these old unearthed clips from him in court is giving the Breaking Bad fans some serious Saul Goodman vibes.

While it wasn’t until he hit his 30s that Dave Bautista got his big break in the realm of pro-wrestling, it didn’t take the actor too long to earn himself the status of Animal in WWE. Apart from his personality and charisma, the actor’s huge build was another major factor that contributed to him becoming a force of nature during the Ruthless Aggression Era.
But even though it’s not uncommon for pro wrestlers to maintain brute physiques, since parting ways with WWE, Bautista hasn’t shied away from shifting his weight to fit the required role. However, his recent shift in muscle has fans startled, as it’s a far cry from what fans are accustomed to seeing when it comes to the Animal.

Hulk Hogan’s career in the WWE earned him a stellar reputation in the sports arena, and with his immense fame came wads of fortune. It wasn’t an easy path for him because, like many aspiring wrestlers, he had to start from nothing.

Many fans know him by his screen moniker, and ever since he became popular in WWE, he needed a façade to show inside the ring. At the time, the Hulk was a popular comic book character, and he combined it with promoter Vincent McMahon’s suggestion to adopt an Irish persona, hence the Hogan. Later on, he changed it to Hollywood Hogan to avoid paying Marvel the rights to the name.

Dwayne Johnson has successfully dabbled dual careers as a professional wrestler in WWE and is one of the A-list movie stars in Hollywood. The actor’s star power and large fanbase made him a bankable name in the industry. Audiences recently got to see an unhinged version of The Rock leading up to WrestleMania Xl.

Johnson is known for his extensive training at the gym and has a massive physique. The man is always physically ripped in every project and has a towering presence in every frame he appears in. His bulky physique caused a real problem for the costume designer for his Netflix film Red Notice, who had to arrange multiple suits, especially for him.

The first season of The Boys feels like it aired over 5 years ago. Wait… it actually did. The point is, that Antony Starr’s Homelander feels different from the present times and fans may have figured out why.
Antony Starr as Homelander in season 4 of The Boys | Prime Video
From letting a plane full of civilians crash to literally forcing a person to commit suicide, Homelander is as psychotic as he is terrifying. A person aptly described Homelander as ‘a storm waiting to happen’. Well, that is what’s missing in the current season of The Boys.
Antony Starr’s Homelander Was Different In Season 1
Do you remember the opening scene of The Boys? Not the A-Train one but when Homelander appears for the first time. An innocent and yet brave man who will take on the bravest of the tasks to ensure world peace. Turns out we were so wrong.

It is absolutely scary to wonder what it’s like to scale the staggering heights of WrestleMania superstardom, only to face the sobering reality of an unforgiving fall. Well, such was the intoxicating moment for The Miz in 2011 as he soared into the wrestling stratosphere, headlining WrestleMania Xxvii against none other than John Cena.

The match was still able to end as planned because The Rock restarted it and attacked Cena, allowing Miz to win. However, it was evident right away that Miz required medical attention. This unforgettable saga is etched into the annals of WWE history and captured candidly in a WWE 24 documentary, which shed light on The Miz’s illustrious, albeit tumultuous, career.

Kevin Hart is one of the most badass comedians of all time, never ceasing to leave fans in hysterics with his stand-up comedies and roasts. But there have been very few people who have successfully roasted him back in the most iconic way. That was until recently when the 40-year-old comedian cum actress Nikki Glaser made her entry onto that list.

At The Greatest Roast Of All Time: Tom Brady, Glaser went all in after turning up to brutally grill Hart. While her trolling him on his tiny height was one thing that had viewers in tears, the actress actually landed the final blow with an Nsfw joke about The Rock — one that even Hart couldn’t deny was absolutely savage!

May thy ping pong paddle chip and shatter! Whilst his brother and fellow filmmaker Benny is busy shooting Mma movie The Smashing Machine with Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt, Josh Safdie is also hard at work and recruiting for his own solo directorial debut. As reported by Variety, Dune star Timothée Chalamet is set to star in and produce Safdie's new A24 joint Marty Supreme, written by the Uncut Gems co-director alongside regular writing partner Ronald Bronstein. Check out A24's ping pong ball featuring movie announcement post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, below;

Dune star Timothée Chalamet goes from sand to sport in the upcoming ping pong film Marty Supreme, made by the co-director of Uncut Gems.
Timothée Chalamet will star in Marty Supreme, a ping pong movie that is set to be directed by Josh Safdie. After starring in two epic Dune movies (and with Dune: Messiah set to come), Chalamet has chosen a change of pace and scale with his latest film, a biopic of a table tennis hustler turned champion.
Although the Safdie Brothers are no longer a fillmmaking duo, they’re still connected by a seeming love of sports biopics. After making Good Time and Uncut Gems together, the duo split and are now working on separate sports biopics for A24.

Timothée Chalamet is eyeing the lead role in Josh Safdie’s next film.
The actor is in final negotiations to star in A24’s upcoming feature Marty Supreme, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. Plot details are under wraps, but the movie is said to be a fictionalized original work.
Safdie is set to helm the film from a script he co-wrote with Ronald Bronstein. Producers include Safdie, Chalamet, Bronstein, Eli Bush and Anthony Katagas.
The project reunites Safdie with A24 after the company produced his two most recent films, Good Time (2017) and Uncut Gems (2019), both of which he co-directed with his brother Benny Safdie. The Safdies are no longer planning to co-direct projects but continue to produce together through their company Elara Pictures. Bronstein has writing credits on both the Robert Pattinson-led Good Time and the Adam Sandler-starring Uncut Gems.

Timothée Chalamet could be perfecting his backspin, Chop, and lob while in final talks to play ping pong professional Marty Reisman in Josh Safdie’s A24 film Marty Supreme. Safdie wrote the original movie alongside Ronald Bronstein, who produced it with Eli Bush and Anthony Hatagas. A24 confirmed the project by sharing a social media post with a black-and-white photo of the film’s title printed on a ping-pong ball.
Reisman passed away in 2012, but not before leaving behind a legacy of mythical proportions in the ping-pong community. Variety reports that the table tennis star began his career by hustling others in the lightning-fast game of paddle warfare. He won 22 significant ping pong titles from 1946 to 2002 and five bronze medals at the World Table Tennis Championships. Variety also notes that at 67, Reisman played in the United States National Hardbat Championship and became the oldest player to win an open national competition in a racket sport.

Parting from the brother with whom you could make literally any film either wishes, only to both end up directing sports biopics for A24––a tale as old as time. While Benny Safdie works with an unrecognizable Dwayne Johnson on The Smashing Machine, Josh Safdie has been prepping Marty Supreme, a biopic of ping pong legend Marty Reisman for which Timothée Chalamet is in final talks to lead and produce. [Variety]
From a script by co-written with regular collaborator Ronald Bronstein, Marty Supreme tells of Reisman’s career as a ping pong champion and, because this is a Safdie production, hustler who’d regularly win off bets. His astonishing career spanned 22 major titles between 1946 and 2002, five bronze medals at the World Table Tennis Championships, and the distinction of being “the oldest player to win an open national competition in a racket sport.” Although the thought of Chalamet in old-man make-up is nearly impossible to conjure up,...

With Timothée Chalamet next playing Bob Dylan, he’ll next be trading singing for ping pong slinging.
The actor, who is portraying Bob Dylan in James Mangold’s “A Complete Unknown,” is in final negotiations to star in and produce Josh Safdie’s “Marty Supreme” about a professional ping pong champ, A24 announced on Monday.
The movie is a fictionalized, original film written by Safdie and Ronald Bronstein, and official plot details are being kept under wraps.
Though as Variety is reporting, the film may be loosely inspired by the life of Marty Reisman, a ping pong champion who won 22 major ping pong titles from 1946 to 2002, and five bronze medals at the World Table Tennis Championships across his career. He also made history as the oldest player to win an open national competition in a racket sport while competing in the United States National Hardbat Championship. He died in 2012.

NBC’s Friends was one of the network’s biggest successes due to its tenure from 1994 to 2004. The primary cast of the show including Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer became household names with the unprecedented phenomenon that it became.

When the show was in its second season, it was beating Friends in its ratings and viewership. The former US president saw this as a big win and made a rather baffling demand to NBC regarding his pay.

Vin Diesel’s Fast & Furious franchise is not known to be high art but the fact that these films are still happening and are profitable means that there are audiences who like it despite the ridiculousness. The films have been silly since Fast Five and by the tenth film, things have gotten so ridiculous that it seems ironic and intentional.
One scene in particular in part one of its two-part finale Fast X is beyond hilarious for its illogical premise. The big ball of fire in the Rome sequence has fans rolling with laughter due to the continuity errors, logic-defying actions, and an unscathed Vin Diesel.

Central Intelligence was the first film to show how great of a pair Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart are. The film was not the best in terms of script, but the duo’s chemistry did wonders for the film. One of the bloopers from the film was widely shared on the internet, which shows Kevin Hart roasting Dwyane Johnson for his ring name, The Rock.

Antony Starr’s Homelander has done some heinous and diabolical acts throughout the four seasons of The Boys. In the latest season, the character is at its lowest point which has led to him becoming more dangerous and unpredictable. Starr continues to impress as well as haunt audiences with his terrifying performance as the supervillain.

The season saw a further exploration of Homelander’s past as he revisits his past and wreaks havoc on those who wronged him. The latest episode also saw him killing a character grotesquely. Fans have now found similarities between that scene with another one in the final battle in Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam.

After the success of ‘Bad Boys: Ride or Die,’ there is only one thing in the minds of fans; Will Smith was never cancelled.
However true this may be – I mean it is Will Smith we’re talking about – he’s still not permitted to step foot anywhere near the Oscars for almost a decade.
To add to this, he was also forced to step down from his role as a member of the Academy’s voting committee.
Nevertheless, an insider thinks it’s high time Will Smith got his redemption arc. Is the Academy ready to make it happen?

Roman Reigns has been on sabbatical from the WWE after his loss at WrestleMania Xl. The Tribal Chief lost his Universal Champion title against Cody Rhodes, thus giving the American Nightmare a chance to finish his story. While fans wait for his return, Reigns seems to have more feuds to finish in the ring.
While he gears up to battle the Final Boss, his cousin The Rock, he also seems to have an ongoing feud with John Cena. The actor and wrestler also made an appearance at this year’s WrestleMania. Reigns has constantly been in a war of words against the Peacemaker star and he even roasted him in the ring after his comeback in 2021.

Call of Duty fans are in for a surprise as the franchise’s official X handle has announced an upcoming collaboration with WWE, set to arrive in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 5.
While this news has generated excitement among fans, it has also raised questions about the validity of a previous leak (reduced to a rumor now), which had many players anticipating a completely different crossover event.

Last month, dataminer @crashfty shared a tantalizing leak suggesting that a crossover with a certain Marvel character was in the works. The post included three different finisher moves performed by a stock character model, all executed in a style reminiscent of the Merc with a Mouth‘s signature flair.

The cinematic universe of Hollywood has seen several actors and actresses seize their big breaks in unexpected ways. In this regard, the Star Trek franchise plays a pivotal role in launching the careers of numerous A-listers. However, among the list of such stars, Dwayne Johnson stands the tallest with his appearance on Star Trek: Voyager.

This was just a steppingstone for Johnson, who would then go on to become one of the biggest stars in Hollywood. For this, the credit goes to Star Trek producer Rick Berman, who gave Johnson his big break. However, not just Dwayne Johnson, but Berman also deserves credit for launching Tom Hardy in the movie business as well.

When Lee Isaac Chung was announced as director of a legacy sequel to Twister, many were quick to bemoan the fact that we’re stuck in an age where helming a Best Picture nominee isn’t enough to ensure funding for your next, personal project. After all, the past few years have shown it’s an uphill battle for any filmmaker with indie cred to smuggle their personal touch into a franchise tentpole––just look at Chloe Zhao, whose strange, uneven MCU project Eternals fell short of even being interesting enough to become a cult curio à la Ang Lee’s Hulk. That specter of an increasingly compromised studio product must have been on Chung’s mind throughout making Twister$, so it’s both a surprise and relief that the DNA of a director who has previously only made intimate character dramas can be keenly felt throughout.

Shrek is one of the most iconic animated films of all time. Being a joy ride for people of all age groups, the film series was immortalized in the film industry. While the genius of DreamWorks can be thanked for it, there is no denying that the cast and their voice acting can be heavily credited for the film’s success. Its ability to not take itself too seriously made it a cult classic that people continue to visit, more than two decades after its release.

Despite this, fans have been wanting more from the series for years. It would seem that their wishes have finally come true in the best way possible. However, there happens to be one catch.

Exclusive: Sam Raimi, architect of the Evil Dead franchise, has closed a deal to direct and produce Send Help, a new horror thriller for 20th Century Studios.
Not yet officially greenlighted by the studio, according to our sources, the film is described as a two-hander horror thriller set on an island. The story is said to fall somewhere between Rob Reiner’s Stephen King adaptation Misery and Robert Zemeckis’ classic Castaway.
Pic is based on an original script by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift (Baywatch). Raimi will produce alongside Zainab Azizi under Raimi Productions, and we’re told the film is expected to get a theatrical release.
One of the most influential genre filmmakers still working, Raimi is responsible for the Evil Dead franchise, whose most recent installment, Evil Dead Rise, grossed over $147 million worldwide last spring. As we were first to report, two new, untitled installments from directors Francis Galluppi...

John Cena has recently highlighted what sets him apart in the glamorous world of Hollywood while addressing his “following” on X (Twitter). It is not uncommon for celebrities to have specific preferences regarding social media.

One of the specific trends popular among the Hollywood elites is not following anyone on social media platforms, pursued by numerous names, such as Eminem, Zendaya, Jay Z, Megan Fox, and many others.
Cena, however, has refrained from such a practice, having followed more than 800,000 people on X (Twitter). While addressing the same in a recent interview, the Fast X actor stated that such exposure helps him maintain his curiosity.

Veterans sportscaster Joe Tessitore is joining WWE’s broadcast team as a play-by-play announcer.
Tessitore is expected to begin in his new role with the sports entertainment giant this summer. He will work alongside the current team of Wade Barrett and Corey Graves, who currently call the action on WWE’s “SmackDown.” Michael Cole and Pat McAfee will remain in their current positions announcing on “Monday Night Raw.”
“Whether it’s a world title fight that’s got the globe buzzing or a college football rivalry that’s grabbed the nation’s attention, Joe’s voice provides that big event feel each time he is behind the microphone,” said WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque. “We’re excited for Joe to join legendary WWE broadcaster Michael Cole and our esteemed announce team, bringing his signature energy and meticulous preparation to our WWE telecasts each week.”

The WWE has hired another top ESPN personality for its on-air broadcast team.
The wrestling giant — owned by Tko Group Holdings — says that it has hired Joe Tessitore as a play-by-play broadcaster. Tessitore, a long-time ESPN veteran (he will continue to work at the sports TV giant in addition to the WWE), will join the broadcast booth this summer, where he will work alongside analysts Wade Barrett and Corey Graves.
Tessitore is a 22-year veteran of ESPN, where he has been a fixture on its college football coverage. He has also called Monday Night Football games, Pro Bowl and NFL wild card coverage. He is also one of ESPN’s lead boxing announcers.
The veteran sportscaster is the latest example of the WWE moving in a different direction with its broadcasts under the leadership of chief content officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque. While historically WWE announcers were wrestlers or former...

Dwayne Johnson will be returning for a new version of Moana, that’s going to start filming shortly: more on Disney’s remake here.
Disney has clearly decided to stick its foot on the accelerator when it comes to making a few more quid out of the glorious animated film Moana. Appreciating there’s a lot of Encanto fans out there, for my money Moana is the last flat-out brilliant film from Walt Disney Animation Studios we’ve seen. I’ve enjoyed much of its output since, but this feels a high bar.
This winter, a film that was looking like it was going to streaming at one point – Moana 2 – arrives in cinemas. It’s suspiciously light on the lead creatives from the first film, but early signs are on the positive side. Then of course there’s the decision to remake the first film in some form of live action,...

Sad news to share today. Charlotte Gray died last Friday at age 13 and one half. The daughter of producer Gordon Gray and Kristen succumbed in her battle against the rare degenerative brain disorder Batten Disease CLN6. She was surrounded by her parents, sister Gwenyth, and brothers Callan and Gavin.
Many Deadline readers will remember Charlotte and her sister Gwenyth, because they helped raise millions of dollars in funds that led to breakthrough treatments that gave her a much better life than would otherwise have been possible. Gordon Gray has produced inspirational fact-based sports movies about athletes who overcame long odds, from the aging baseball pitcher Jim Morris in The Rookie to football player Vince Papale in Invincible, to the gold medal-winning U.S. Olympic hockey team in Miracle. Gray mostly put his career on the shelf when he and wife Kristen were given a cold and hard diagnosis to explain...

Before being the successful actor that he is, John Cena was a beloved part of the world of WWE. Having existed within the federation for years, he became integral to the very foundations of the sport, being an important figure to date. While he has become quite serious about his acting career and pursues it full-time, he still manages to make time for his wrestling career every now and then.
