Podcast appearances and mentions of Charles Dance

Welcome to Multiverse News, your source for information about all your favorite fictional universes.While it may come as no surprise, the biggest Marvel news this week is still just as exciting as it is obvious with the revelation that Chris Evans will indeed appear in Secret Wars. While not officially confirmed by Marvel, the news broke via a social media post from March 26, that is just now gaining notice, with the actor himself telling Instagram user @comicconmomsi, "I can tell you that...I start work on the next one in a couple of months, I can tell you that," in a video message. That tracks with the projected August production starting date for Secret Wars we've discussed previously.While rumors and speculation are typically not our forte here, the rumor mill surrounding The Batman II cast warrants some attention. In May, we discussed headlines from sources like Variety and The Wrap that seemingly confirmed Sebastian Stan had been cast as Harvey Dent, as he had long been rumored to be, with Scarlett Johansson and Charles Dance announced as Dent's wife and father, respectively. In hindsight, those headlines resulted from Matt Reeve's social media post where he confirmed and welcomed a number of actors as part of the film but did not actually reveal any roles. In the last week, industry insider Jeff Sneider has suggested that his sources claim that Stan will instead play Victor Zsasz and Brian Tyree Henry is set to portray Harvey. Steven Spielberg has returned to the blockbuster arena for the first time in eight years with Disclosure Day, his UFO sci-fi thriller starring Emily Blunt and Josh O'Connor, which opened to approximately $44 million domestically and $93.9 million globally, making it his biggest opening weekend ever for an original film. Meanwhile, Obsession continues its extraordinary run, adding another $19 million in week five for a domestic total of $188.3 million. Spielberg's $115 million production earned strong reviews and a B CinemaScore.Sony has released the trailer for The Social Reckoning, Aaron Sorkin's sequel to The Social Network. Jeremy Strong stars as Mark Zuckerberg alongside Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen White, and Bill Burr. The film opens October 9.Peter Sarsgaard has joined the Season 3 cast of HBO's The Last of Us in a recurring role. He will play an original character named Amon, one of the leaders of the Seraphites. Production is currently on a planned hiatus to accommodate World Cup matches filming in Vancouver.It: Welcome to Derry writer Jason Fuchs has been tapped to write a new untitled Transformers script for Paramount and Hasbro.Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill, and Ice Cube are in talks to return for 24 Jump Street at Sony Pictures, reuniting most of the original production team.Apple TV+ has renewed horror comedy Widow's Bay for a second season ahead of its season finale this week, and has signed creator Katie Dippold to a multiyear overall deal.Jason Momoa has made clear he has no interest in a PG-13 Lobo solo movie. In an interview with Collider, he said if he makes a standalone Lobo film, it will be rated R, full stop, though he's open to appearing in ensemble DCU projects in the meantime.Peter Serafinowicz has been cast as Peeves the Poltergeist in HBO's Harry Potter series.Anya Taylor-Joy has joined the cast of the upcoming Lord of the Rings prequel The Hunt for Gollum, playing an elf character named Seren.Marvel Comics will publish a one-shot crossover this September titled The Muppets Take the Marvel Universe, celebrating the 50th anniversary of The Muppet Show by teaming Muppets characters with iconic Marvel heroes.Mark Hamill is joining Peacock's Twisted Metal for Season 3 in a recurring role, playing the father of Sweet Tooth.Chris Sanders, co-creator and co-director of the original Lilo & Stitch animated film, will direct Disney's live-action sequel Lilo & Stitch 2. Shooting is expected to begin later this year.

We're off-list this week to discuss the Oscar-nominated biopic The Imitation Game concerning the story of Alan Turing and his code-breaking skills that helped to put to rest some nasty Nazis. The guys talk about the gaggle of historical inaccuracies in this Hollywood adaptation and whether it ruins the film at all, Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley's wonderful performances, the controversy surrounding the downplay of certain elements of Turing's life, real-life legal implications of the film and so much more.

Ladies First is a comedy film directed by Thea Sharrock. It is inspired by the 2018 French film I Am Not an Easy Man by Éléonore Pourriat. It stars Sacha Baron Cohen, Rosamund Pike, Charles Dance, Emily Mortimer, Tom Davis, Richard E. Grant, and Fiona Shaw. The film tells the story of a male chauvinist is transported to a matriarchal society, facing challenges from a formidable female version of himself.Hosted on Ausha.

The review embargo lifted today for The Mandalorian and Grogu, and the bag is more than a little mixed. Critics are either praising the film for its fun action adventure nature of the bounty hunter and his foundling or others are saying the film does not live up to the iconography that Lucasfilm and Star Wars is known for as well as having too small of a story for the big screen. With this being the first Star Wars film in seven years, a lot is likely riding on the performance of Din Djarin and Din Grogu. Ebon Moss-Bachrach has been quietly dishing details on not only Avengers: Doomsday but Secret Wars across his various media appearances in recent days. On Josh Horowitz's Happy Sad Confused podcast, the Thing actor admitted the Doomsday script he read didn't have a finished third act saying, "I don't think it had an ending,” and described the production as so compartmentalized and "interstellar" that he'd repeatedly go back to Joe Russo to have the multiverse threading re-explained. Then in a separate chat with the Dog Day Afternoon Broadway team, a play based on the 1975 film the actor is performing in, he casually dropped that Secret Wars filming kicks off in August 2026, right after his stage run wraps in mid-July.HBO set August 16 as the premiere date for Lanterns and dropped a new trailer that complicates the show's dark, earth-based mystery pitch with shots of Kyle Chandler's Hal Jordan in the classic Green Lantern uniform and what appears to be an off-world setting. The trailer also confirms Nathan Fillion is reprising his role as Guy Gardner and reveals Laura Linney in an undisclosed part opposite Aaron Pierre's John Stewart. Matt Reeves used a series of X posts last week to officially welcome Brian Tyree Henry and Sebastian Koch to Gotham for The Batman: Part II. They join the previously confirmed additions of Scarlett Johansson as Gilda Dent, Sebastian Stan as Harvey Dent, and Charles Dance as Harvey's father Christopher. Henry, a Marvel alum from Eternals who also memorably appeared in 2019's Joker, marks his second trip into the DC sandbox, while Koch is known for his prestige work appearing in films like Bridge of Spies. Michael continued another strong run at the box office this weekend and has now crossed $700 million dollars worldwide while the Devil Wears Prada 2 also continued its solid streak, crossing the $500 million dollar mark internationally. Mortal Kombat 2 crossed the $100 million dollar mark in its second weekend. Horror film Obsession opened very well with $23 million dollars worldwide, a big opening for a film from a first time director acquired out of a film festival. Marvel is making some changes to leadership in its comics division. The company has promoted Brad Winderbaum, already its chief of television and animation, to head of Marvel television, animation, comics and franchise. At the same time, David Abdo, former manager of Disney's music division, will transition to serve as Marvel's general manager, comics and franchise, reporting to Winderbaum. With the new top leadership coming in, that means that Dan Buckley, the longtime Marvel Comics head, is departing. Buckley will remain at Marvel through mid-2027 to support the leadership transition.HBO's Harry Potter series will already be recasting a role as production begins on season 2. Actress Gracie Cochrane, who portrays Ginny Weasley in the upcoming season 1 will not return for Season 2 of the series due to 'unforeseen circumstances,' Cochrane and her family revealed in a statement.Disney+ has begun development on Ella Enchanted, a TV series based on the 2004 Miramax fairytale film of the same name that starred Anne Hathaway, who will return to produce the series. Anyone But You writer Ilana Wolpert will serve as showrunner.A final look trailer for Prime's Spider-Noir, starring Nicholas Cage, was dropped today. 

The cast for The Batman: Part II is starting to come together, and it already looks like one of the most stacked comic book movie ensembles in recent memory. Robert Pattinson is back as Batman, with major returning players like Andy Serkis, Colin Farrell, Jeffrey Wright, Jayme Lawson, and Gil Perez-Abraham helping carry Matt Reeves' Gotham into its next chapter.In this episode of Geek Freaks Headlines, Frank breaks down the confirmed cast, the new names joining the sequel, and the biggest question hanging over the movie: who is actually missing? With Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, and Barry Keoghan not currently listed, the conversation turns toward Catwoman, Riddler, Joker, Harvey Dent, and whether all that snowy imagery could be teasing Mr. Freeze.00:00 The Batman: Part II Cast Is Looking StackedFrank opens with the confirmed names and why the missing cast members may be the most interesting part of the update.00:14 Returning Cast From The BatmanRobert Pattinson, Andy Serkis, Colin Farrell, Jeffrey Wright, Jayme Lawson, and Gil Perez-Abraham are discussed as key returning pieces of Reeves' Gotham.00:33 New Cast Members And Mystery RolesSebastian Stan is reportedly tied to Harvey Dent, while Charles Dance, Sebastian Koch, Brian Tyree Henry, and Scarlett Johansson raise major questions.00:51 Missing Names From The First MovieZoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, and Barry Keoghan are not currently listed, which stands out after Joker and Riddler were teased together.01:18 Could Mr. Freeze Be The Big Bad?Frank connects the snowy imagery to Mr. Freeze and explains why the character could fit perfectly into Matt Reeves' grounded Gotham.01:50 Who Will Be The Villain Of The Batman: Part II?The episode closes with speculation about Harvey Dent, Two-Face, Penguin, Joker, Riddler, and Mr. Freeze.The Batman: Part II has a strong returning cast led by Robert Pattinson as Batman, Jeffrey Wright as Jim Gordon, Andy Serkis as Alfred, and Colin Farrell as Penguin.Sebastian Stan reportedly playing Harvey Dent could be a major clue about the sequel's focus, even if he does not become Two-Face right away.Scarlett Johansson, Brian Tyree Henry, and Sebastian Koch are confirmed without roles, making them the biggest sources of speculation.Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, and Barry Keoghan are not currently listed as returning, which is especially notable after the Joker and Riddler tease in the first movie.The snowy imagery surrounding the sequel has Frank wondering if Mr. Freeze could be part of the story.The cast has serious awards pedigree, making The Batman: Part II feel like a major expansion of Matt Reeves' crime-focused Gotham.“Batman Part II cast is looking pretty stacked, but I think it's the missing names that are more interesting.”“Barry Keoghan was specifically teased at the end of the last movie, so I had assumed that he was going to play some part in the next movie.”“Catwoman leaving Gotham makes sense to me, because her whole point was to erase her identity so she could have some freedom.”“We're getting a lot of snowy imagery from different places, so I'm hoping that's teasing Mr. Freeze.”“With this cast, I mean, think about how stacked this cast is. This is an all-star cast.”Subscribe to Geek Freaks Headlines for quick breakdowns of the biggest movie, TV, gaming, and comic book news.

Director Guillermo del Toro has been making movies about monsters his entire career, from Mimic to Hellboy to Pan's Labyrinth to The Shape of Water. His most recent film, an adaptation of Mary Shelley's ultimate monster story from 1818, is the culmination of del Toro's long-held dream to breathe new life into his favorite novel and film subject. Drawing inspiration from John Milton, Bernie Wrightson's classic designs, and the Hammer Horror films, del Toro was ready to throw the switch on the project with Universal Pictures, until the studio's "Dark Universe" project proved dead on arrival. Now, at Netflix, del Toro's creature feature is alive… ALIVE!... once more. Starring Oscar Issac as the doctor and Jacob Elordi as the creature, the film includes Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, Charles Dance, and Lars Mikkelsen, and it was recently nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture. But does this reanimated cinematic assemblage deserve to walk the halls of streaming entertainment? Or is it more "ponderous" than "pondersome," leaving us reaching for the Off switch on the remote?

This week, we sit down with the wildly accomplished Patrick Doyle, a veteran camera and Steadicam operator with more than 30 years of experience working across the TV and motion picture industry. Pat has collaborated with some of the biggest studios in the world—MGM, Disney, 20th Century Fox, NBC Universal, Warner Bros, A&E, Sony Entertainment, Hallmark—and worked shoulder to shoulder with iconic performers like William Shatner, Julianna Margulies, Adrien Brody, Charles Dance, Liam Cunningham, and Tom Ellis.   But despite his remarkable résumé, Pat remains deeply grounded in the place he calls home: Sydney River, Cape Breton/Unama'ki.   What struck us most during this conversation is Pat's pure, unfiltered passion for his craft. He speaks about camera work not just as a technical skill, but as a creative point of view—the way he sees and feels the world. We spent time reassuring him (lovingly) that he is an artist, and that his instincts, sensitivity, and strong visual identity absolutely count.   And now, after decades of telling other people's stories, Pat is stepping into a new chapter: developing his own TV series. The anticipated project is inspired by Cape Breton's own Frank MacDonald and his book The Smeltdog Man, a full-circle moment after Frank recently joined us on the podcast. Pat hopes this series will help strengthen the film industry on Cape Breton Island, creating opportunities and shining a brighter light on a place he deeply loves.   This conversation is a reminder of what it feels like to be grateful, intentional, and awake to the creative path you've chosen. Pat's humility, humour, and heart make this one of those episodes that leaves you feeling lighter and more inspired to begin your own next chapter.   A beautiful chat about craft, home, and seeing the world with curiosity.     Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mikeandkristen   Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mikeandkristen   Us on the web: www.mikeandkristen.ca Instagram: www.instagram.com/mike_and_kristen/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mikeandkristencreative Shoot us a message!

Frankenstein (2025) – Tech bros, trauma, and a super-horny monster movie on NetflixMary Shelley by way of Guillermo del Toro feels almost too perfect, and Frankenstein (2025) absolutely leans into that match-up: lush Gothic sets, grotesque body horror, tender fairytale beats, and a very modern anxiety about people who build things they can't control.In this episode, the Bad Dads dig into Netflix's lavish new take on the classic, framed in the icy Arctic as Victor Frankenstein (Oscar Isaac) and his Creature retell their shared nightmare from two sides. Along the way we get abusive fathers, creepy power dynamics, “18th-century tech bro” energy, and more limb-sawing than is probably healthy for a school night.We also talk about how weird it is that this $120m movie technically “bombed” at the box office but only because it was dumped into cinemas for a week to qualify for Oscars, and what that says about modern streaming, awards campaigning and how success is measured now.In the episode we cover:Netflix's blink-and-you-miss-it theatrical release strategy and why the film only made $144k in cinemasOscar Isaac's monstrous turn as an abusive, glory-hungry surgeon vs the Creature's unexpected gentlenessMia Goth, Christoph Waltz with gold shoes, Charles Dance as the worst dad alive, and why this is a strangely “horny” FrankensteinThat brutal opening on the ice: shattered legs, ship-tipping strength and a monster that just won't dieGenerational trauma, perfectionism and how Victor immediately becomes the same kind of father he hatesThe forest/fairytale stretch: mice, a blind old man, found family, and the heartbreaking deer sceneAll the grisly stuff: hanging bodies, severed limbs, skinned wolves and why the practical sets and make-up look incredibleFrankenstein as an AI / tech parable – creating something powerful, sentient and uncontrollable, then trying to kill itThe big split on the pod: is 2.5 hours richly earned or just too long for a story we already know?Mary Shelley's original novella, written at 18 on a dare, and how its ideas still infect modern thrillers, conspiracy stories and sci-fiIf you like your horror Gothic, your monsters tragic, and your movie chat equal parts thoughtful and filthy, this is a good jumping-on point. Hit play, hear us argue about runtime, thirst over Oscar Isaac, side-eye Mia Goth, and decide for yourself whether this Frankenstein is a modern classic or just an overbuilt monster.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Director Guillermo Del Toro is a master at bringing gothic horror to the big screen in glorious fashion, which he does for this episode's movie “Frankenstein”, but only in a small number of theaters. Most people will have to see this on the small screen because Del Toro decided to make his long-awaited “Frankenstein” movie for Netflix, the king of small screen. Nevertheless, it's fantastic to see a classic movie monster on the screen, with an excellent cast no less. Oscar Isaac plays Dr. Victor Frankenstein, Mia Goth is Elizabeth, Christoph Waltz as Harlander and Charles Dance as Leopold Frankenstein. This version of the classic tale introduces us to Victor Frankenstein as a young boy to begin to explain his mad ambitions, then onto his creation of The Creature  and then the aftermath. We even get to see The Creature's story from his perspective. Does this all add up to an entertaining movie? Check out this episode to find out! “Frankenstein” also stars Felix Kammerer, David Bradley, Lars Mikkelsen, Christian Convery, Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Kyle Gatehouse, Lauren Collins, Sofia Galasso, Ralph Ineson and Burn Gorman. Support the showFeel free to reach out to me via:@MoviesMerica on Twitter @moviesmerica on InstagramMovies Merica on Facebook

In this week's episode of the world's-fastest-movie-review podcast, Jackson and Mike review TWO new films!!! First "FRANKENSTEIN"  The life of Victor Frankenstein, an egotistical scientist whose experiment in creating new life, in the form of a Creature, results in dangerous consequences. Starring Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, Charles Dance, and Christoph Waltz. Then, a quick review of "SPRINGSTEEN: DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE".  A Springsteen biography that takes place over a pivotal two-year period in the singer/songwriter's life. Starring Jeremy Allen White, Jeremy Strong, Paul Walter Hauser, and Stephen Graham. 

Before he was Tywin Lannister in Game of Thrones or the commanding presence of The Jewel in the Crown, Charles Dance was a boy from Worcestershire whose father died when he was three and whose mother built a new life for the family, remarried to their lodger. A childhood marked by loss, a stammer and humble beginnings gave little hint of the commanding actor he would become.In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O'Brien sits down with the Emmy-nominated actor to trace an extraordinary journey from working-class Devon to the stages of the Royal Shakespeare Company and Hollywood sets alongside Meryl Streep, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maggie Smith. Dance reveals how two eccentric mentors in rural Devon taught him to speak, act and think like an actor, and why, even now at 79, he still considers himself a “working actor” rather than a star.It's an intimate, reflective conversation about identity, perseverance, class, craft and the enduring magic of the stage- told with the wit and humility of a man who's seen it all and still can't quite believe his luck.

Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture For this week's second podcast review, Nadia Dalimonte, Dan Bayer, Brendan Hodges, and Will Mavity join me to review and discuss the latest film from Guillermo del Toro, "Frankenstein," starring Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, Felix Kammerer, Lars Mikkelsen, Charles Dance, and David Bradley. Based on Mary Shelley's classic 1818 novel of the same name, the Netflix film has been a passion project for del Toro for many years, dating back to when he first read the book as an eleven-year-old. That passion can be felt in every frame of this exceptionally crafted piece of work, but what did we think of it as a whole? Please tune in as we discuss the narrative structure, adaptation changes, themes, performances, technical aspects, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.

Filmmaker Christopher Jason Bell (Miss Me Yet, Attention Shoppers) joins us to discuss Last Action Hero, a meta action comedy featuring too many ideas, a healthy serving of great jokes, and a fascinating reckoning for its star Arnold Schwarzenegger as he was aging into the second act of his movie star career. We begin with a conversation about the action hero vehicle, its dominance in the 1980s, and its turn to self-reference and parody in the early 1990s. Then, we explore Last Action Hero's bizarre combination of action movie tropes and lighter cartoon comedy logic that makes its satirical targets more difficult to identify. After, we address the ways the film incidentally exonerates itself from some of the more ideologically thorny tendencies of police films by embracing fantasy and drawing attention to its artifice. Finally, we spend some time discussing Chris's latest brilliant and beautiful film Failed State, how its component parts all came together, and what it means to be a filmmaker in our moment of constant crises and social alienation.Follow Christopher Jason Bell on TwitterWatch Chris's films on Means.tv Watch the trailer for Failed StateGet access to all of our premium episodes and bonus content by becoming a Hit Factory Patron for just $5/month.....Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish
