Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesDuring a recent round of interviews with various comic-centric YouTube channels last week, James Gunn seemingly revealed that despite rampant speculation, his DCU is not building toward the character of Darkseid as a “big bad”. As to why he's not pursuing what many fans might argue is the obvious direction for the studio, he cited the efforts of the comic book cinematic universes that paved the way for his own, saying, "Using Darkseid as the big bad now is not necessarily the thing... because Zack did it so cool in his way and because of Thanos and Marvel." Gunn expanded his thoughts on both, acknowledging some of the shortcomings of the DCEU and detailing how similar Thanos and Darkseid are that it wouldn't feel fresh for audiences. While Marvel has yet to confirm the much-discussed Scarlet Witch's return to the MCU, in a new interview with beauty, fashion and pop culture outlet InStyle, Elizabeth Olsen reiterated that she's ready to step back into the role. "It's ridiculous," she said of making MCU movies. "We're grown people behaving like children on a playground. We're flying. We're shooting things out of our hands. And it's a character that I've gotten to return to so many times over 10 years. It's good to put her down and then I miss her, and I want her back. I'd jump at the opportunity to be in her shoes again." Last week, Netflix revealed its plans to release the feature-length finale of Stranger Things' final season in theaters, reversing course after the streamer had previously rejected the Duffer Brothers' theatrical release pitch. Theaters will screen the finale starting Dec. 31 at 5 p.m. PT — coinciding with its global Netflix debut — and continuing through Jan. 1, 2026. Disney+ will begin streaming The Fantastic Four: First Steps on Nov. 5, following the film's $521 million worldwide box office haul over the summer.Over the weekend, Sony's Crunchyroll released Chainsaw Man – The Movie, which topped the domestic box office with $17.2 million and reached $108 million globally.

Production is expected to begin early next year.IMAX has unveiled its planned releases for 2026 at an Investor Presentation and at this moment, Spider-Man Brand New Day is not included in the lineup. The film will be released on July 31, which means it's debuting right in the middle of a pretty crowded IMAX season: the live-action Moana and The Odyssey are arriving on July 10 and July 17, respectively.Disney has officially exited its partnership with the BBC on Doctor Who after two years. For now, the BBC does plan to air an upcoming Christmas special next year and then continue the series on the network.Captain America star Chris Evans and his wife Alba Baptista have welcomed their first child, a girl named Alma Grace Baptista Evans

This week, Ben and Rob get Caught Stealing (2025), Darren Aronofsky's crime thriller comedy that feels like a lost '90s gem dusted off for the modern screen. Starring Austin Butler, Zoë Kravitz, and Matt Smith, Caught Stealing reintroduces us to exaggerated neon-light New York, hustle, danger, and characters who carry regret like a heavy coat.Why does Caught Stealing feel like the director's first great film in ages? Is Austin Butler the best new actor working in Hollywood right now? How does Caught Stealing recreate what audiences have forgotten about the '90s? We also get into Darren Aronofsky's “curse of could-have-been”: can a movie be both flashy and deeply melancholic, both thrilling and haunted by its characters' pasts? And when all is said and done, why has this somewhat broken our hosts?PLUS!

Min 5: DOWNTON ABBEY: EL GRAN FINAL (3 estrellas) Con Downton Abbey: El Gran Final, el universo creado por Julian Fellowes cierra las puertas de la mítica mansión con la elegancia y melancolía que han caracterizado a la saga desde su nacimiento televisivo. Simon Curtis, que ya había dirigido Mi semana con Marilyn, se encarga de orquestar este adiós coral en el que la aristocracia Crawley y su inquebrantable servidumbre se enfrentan a los últimos coletazos de una era. Min 14: TRON: ARES (3 estrellas) Catorce años después de Tron: Legacy, Disney vuelve a encender los circuitos de su universo digital con Tron: Ares, una secuela que busca reconciliar la mitología original de 1982 con los dilemas tecnológicos del siglo XXI. Dirigida por Joachim Rønning (Piratas del Caribe: La venganza de Salazar, Maléfica: Maestra del mal), la cinta plantea un salto decisivo: por primera vez, una entidad creada dentro del mundo virtual logra cruzar al mundo real. Jared Leto encarna a Ares, un programa diseñado para una misión de contacto con la humanidad. Su travesía, marcada por la duda existencial y el choque entre dos realidades, da pie a una reflexión más profunda sobre la inteligencia artificial, la identidad y la frontera ética entre lo humano y lo digital. Min 23: BALA PERDIDA (4 estrellas) El siempre inquieto Darren Aronofsky sorprende con Bala Perdida, un violento y frenético descenso a los bajos fondos de Nueva York protagonizado por un magnético Austin Butler, que se confirma como uno de los intérpretes más versátiles de su generación. Butler encarna a Hank Thompson, un exjugador de béisbol venido a menos que, por una cadena de casualidades y deudas mal cerradas, se ve arrastrado a una espiral de violencia y corrupción urbana donde cada decisión puede ser la última. MIn 27: LA TREGUA (3 estrellas) El director Miguel Ángel Vivas retoma uno de los episodios menos explorados del pasado español para construir una obra que mezcla memoria, reconciliación y supervivencia. En La Tregua, los actores Miguel Herrán y Arón Piper lideran la narración como Reyes y Salgado, dos militares que, inicialmente enfrentados por sus ideologías durante la Guerra Civil Española, se ven obligados a compartir mucho más que un destino: la dureza de un gulag soviético en la estepa kazaja. Min 41: HECHO EN CLM. Desvelamos los cortos elegidos en Abycine 'Estamos de Cine' vuelve a ser altavoz del Festival Internacional de Cine de Albacete. El pasado 15 de septiembre, Roberto Lancha, como director del programa, presentaba en la carpa de CMM de la Feria de Albacete, las claves de la 27 edición de Abycine. En este capítulo volvemos a ser avanzadilla de este festival de referencia, en el que CMM apoya nuevos proyectos desde la plataforma Abycine Lanza, y desvelamos los cortos elegidos en la sección Hecho en CLM, que se podrán ver y votar muy pronto en nuestra plataforma digital CMM Play. Min 44: ESPECIAL BSO 'EL CAUTIVO' (4 estrellas) En El Cautivo, Alejandro Amenábar no solo lidera la película como director y guionista, sino que retoma otra de sus facetas clásicas: compositor musical. Esta decisión refuerza su sello autoral completo y permite que la música —sus melodías, texturas y silencios— funcione como otro personaje más dentro del cautiverio simbólico que vive Miguel de Cervantes en Argel. Valoramos con Ángel Luque la gran aportación musical de Amenábar. Posiblemente su mejor trabajo hasta la fecha.

Jamie Kennedy's return to Undressed is like a double shot of espresso—smooth, bold, and a little wild. In this second part of our 100th episode, Jamie opens up about love, money, and the kind of bag that can make a grown man tear up. He paints a cinematic picture of gifting his “Audrey Hepburn” of a girlfriend a $4,000 Louis Vuitton from the Beverly Center—the shriek, the joy, the protective hook for the bag in her car—and then confesses he's eyeing a Birkin next (“thirty grand, chumps!”). It's the kind of moment that makes you laugh while tugging at your heart, especially as he reveals she didn't grow up with nice things and now cherishes every detail. From there, the convo swings from the surreal (Jamie's jaw dropping at a military parade featuring Kim Jong-un, Xi Jinping, and Putin) to the hilarious (banter about whether “the gays” would make jail “pretty” and Martha Stewart's jail doilies) to pure Hollywood gossip—like the shocker that Sabrina Carpenter's aunt is actually Bart Simpson (Nancy Cartwright!) and the low-key fortune Jennifer Tilly made off The Simpsons. But the real pulse of this episode beats in Jamie's vulnerability. He opens up about losing both parents, downsizing his life pre-COVID, Alyssa moving in, their pandemic ping-pong and naked sunbathing, and his current crossroads: rebuying his old Los Feliz home or starting fresh in Beverly Hills, Vegas, or even New Orleans. It's a midlife-meets-career confession that feels both raw and refreshingly unfiltered. Then comes the mystical twist. During his live coffee reading, a heart literally forms at the bottom of his cup—Pol' and Patrik see it too—and the energy in the studio shifts. The reading nudges Jamie toward love, partnership, and maybe even fatherhood (“Alyssa would be such a good mom”), as he wrestles with whether to finally “put a ring on it.” It's intimate, disarming, and strangely prophetic. Of course, the episode isn't all tears. Jamie dives headfirst into Runway Rundown, roasting and raving over Sophie Turner's sultry “I'm single” lace look, Chloe Sevigny's “Halloween Horror Nights” couture disaster, Austin Butler's 1975 porn-leather misstep, and even his own past fashion crimes (a black mesh headbanded ensemble he swears was for Kicking It Old School, but the hosts say screams “Motherlode at 3 a.m.”). The mix of self-deprecation and bold honesty is pure Jamie. By the end, you've laughed at Missy Elliott booting him out of a Phantom, gasped at the Seminole Hard Rock “death suite” he unknowingly slept in, and leaned forward as he weighs buying Raven-Symoné's Porsche. It's the ultimate Jamie Kennedy blend—Hollywood chaos, heartfelt confessions, and a coffee reading that feels like a cosmic mic drop. This is another Hurrdat Media Production.

Luke Tomlinson (Impropod Podcast) and Ash Farkas return to Flixwatcher to review Luke's choice Elvis. Elvis (2022) is an epic Elvis Presley biopic directed by Baz (Moulin Rouge!) Luhrmann. It stars Austin Bulter as Elvis Presley and Tom Hanks as Colonel Tom Parker. Told from the Colonel's point of view it tells the story of Elvis' rise to fame and peak celebrity status. Filmed in true Baz vision Elvis is loud, gaudy and chaotic version of Elvis' early days and cult icon status. Interesting for a biopic it doesn't feature any original Elvis recordings. Despite not winning the best actor Oscar, Austin Butler gives an impressive performance as Elvis. Scores for Elvis were mixed, recommendability depends on your interest and enthusiasm for Elvis and the divisive Baz Luhrmann aesthetic, clocking in at two hours and 39 minutes it didn't score high for repeat viewing either. Overall Elvis scores 2.75.

Josh is joined by recurring guests Elijah Howard and Josh Brown for a double feature. First, they discuss Darren Aronofsky's "Caught Stealing" (Beginning-55:13) and whether they enjoyed Aronofsky bringing his sensitiblies to a more straightfoward story, the performances from Austin Butler, Zoë Kravitz and a deep supporting cast, the ways in which they appreciated a recreation of 1990s New York City and much more! Then, both Joshes talk about "Splitsville" including how co-stars and co-writers Michael Angelo Covino and Kyle Marvin crafted an insightful comedy about relationships through the lens of the not-so-common practice of swinging, Covino's impressive direction for a movie on a smaller budget, the impressive comedic performance from Adria Arjona and they both take the brave stand of defending Dakota Johnson's acting talent!

Rocky and Rachel have a lot to debrief. From the reality of NYFW (spoiler: it feels like high school on steroids), the Secret Life of Mormon Wives cast taking over TV, Love Thy Nader, and Dancing With the Stars' stacked lineup—including the potential new thruple of Hilaria, Gleb, and Alec Baldwin. We chat hot new (and maybe fake) couples like Zoe Kravitz & Harry Styles and Austin Butler & EmRata, plus engagement rings—Taylor's “modest” 8 carat mine-cut diamond & Elsa Hosk's huge Tiffany halo. All whilst Halloween drama kicks off early: Rachel's kids' requests might just get her cancelled and the chaos of Rocky making nine costumes for our friend group by hand. Hosted on Acast.

Jamie is joined by Tom Sexton and Tarence Ray of the Trillbilly Workers Party podcast to talk about Ari Aster's polarizing new film, Eddington. Set in a fictional southwestern town in 2020, the Hereditary director's latest offering has a lot going on: Joaquin Phoenix as MAGA sheriff, Pedro Pascal as neolib mayor, Emma Stone as goth girlfriend, and Austin Butler as cult leader. Also: hysterical SJWs, noisy 'splosions, and a high noon showdown set to Katy Perry. Is it a timely critique of the monsters people create in their minds, or lib-brained 'both sides' slop? Jamie and her esteemed guests discuss.

Darren Aronofsky follows up his divisive Oscar-winner, The Whale, with a throwback to 90s capers. Caught Stealing is an After Hours pastiche without any ego and a studio potboiler aimed right down the middle of the road, it just happens to star one of the most charismatic casts assembled in 2025. Jeff and Derek discuss the star power of Austin Butler, the few surprises the film has in store, and this strange departure from Aronofsky's typical auteurism. Tune in!
Acclaimed Oscar-nominated director Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream, Black Swan, The Whale, The Wrestler) returns to the big screen with what MIGHT be his most audience-friendly caper yet....this is the story of a burned-out ex-baseball player named Hank (Oscar-nominee Austin Butler) who unexpectedly finds himself embroiled in a dangerous struggle for survival of late '90's New York City. Upon doing his neighbor Russ (Matt Smith) a favorite while he goes out of town, Hank soon has various unsavory characters who come calling....and the only people who can apparently help him are his long-suffering girlfriend/medic Yvonne (Zoe Kravitz) and NYPD Detective Roman (Oscar-Winner Regina King) who's on the case. Also along for the ride during this increasingly violent crime comedy/drama are Griffin Dunne, Bad Bunny, Action Bronson, Carol Kane, Liev Schreiber, and Vincent D'Onofrio.

This week on The Treatment, Elvis speaks with the principal cast of the new film Love, Brooklyn: Roy Wood, Jr., Nicole Beharie, DeWanda Wise, and André Holland, the latter of whom is also a producer on the film. Then, Caught Stealing director Darren Aronofsky stops by to talk about his new crime caper which stars Austin Butler and Zoë Kravitz. And on The Treat, Freaky Tales co-director Anna Boden reveals the artist who inspired her to bring his energy to her work and life.
Sean and Amanda start the show by reacting to a handful of recent movie trailers, including Emerald Fennell's ‘Wuthering Heights'—starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi—and Nia DaCosta's ‘28 Years Later: The Bone Temple' (3:33). Then, they unpack Spike Lee's newest film ‘Highest 2 Lowest,' starring Denzel Washington and A$AP Rocky. They explore its very high highs and occasional low lows, Washington's fascinating performance style, and what makes this film so different compared to the rest of Lee's filmography (17:09). Next, they cover Darren Aronofsky's ‘Caught Stealing,' starring Austin Butler and Zoë Kravitz; they both found it quite disappointing, to the point that they even discussed whether or not Austin Butler is a “leading man” (39:54). Finally, Sean is joined by the legendary filmmaker Spike Lee to talk about his new movie. Lee reflects on the first time he visited Akira Kurosawa's work and touches on what Kurosawa means to both himself and cinema at large, talks through Denzel Washington's brilliant improvisations in this film and explains why he is—in Lee's opinion—the greatest actor of all time, and explores what is missing from Hollywood and the filmmaking industry right now (1:07:01).

Austin Butler, Zoë Kravitz and Bad Bunny star in Caught Stealing, the new grungy, throwback film from Darren Aronofsky. Butler plays Hank, a sad sack bartender at a sticky East Village dive bar in the 1990s. When his British punk neighbor Russ, played by Matt Smith, asks him to cat sit, Hank finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. His life comes apart as the criminal underworld becomes convinced he knows where a huge cache of stolen cash can be found. Will Hank fight back? Can he?

In this week's Pop Culture Thursday, Jared dives right into a mix of pop culture headlines, from Julia Fox's confusing sexuality “clarification” to the oddly awkward obituary of TikTok star John Crawley, better known as “King Beard X.” He jokes about how embarrassing it would be if his own comedy nicknames showed up in his obituary. Things get wilder with a Hamptons story of a woman in her 50s allegedly biting a six-year-old during a t-shirt gun brawl—something Jared insists should mean jail time. He pokes fun at a headline calling Austin Butler “fearless” for shooing away a bee near Zoë Kravitz, and rolls his eyes at Jay Cutler airing divorce grievances online. To wrap it up, Jared defends the Coldplay kiss cam, insisting we can't let cheaters ruin a fun tradition. It's goofy, ranty, and oddly heartfelt all at once.Support the show and get up to 10 free HelloFresh meals at https://www.hellofresh.com/jtrain10fm
He is one of the most disturbing and unapologetic filmmakers in Hollywood, from creating "Requiem for a Dream" to choosing conquistador sci-fi over Batman. But director Darren Aronofsky's new movie — "Caught Stealing," starring Austin Butler as a former MLB prospect — is a departure. Toward optimism; nostalgia; and Cheez. (Because, as any real New Yorker knows, you get everything you want when you no longer want it that much.) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
