Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesIt appears as though Marvel Studios much speculated film that was slated to release between Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars in July 2027, won't be happening after all; or at least not that July, as Disney has replaced the untitled project with a sequel to The Simpsons Movie dated for July 23, 2027. The move comes as a surprise to many Marvel fans who anticipated a possible Doctor Strange or Shang-Chi sequel to take place between the Avengers tentpoles but is in keeping with what Bob Iger and Kevin Feige have promised about a slowdown in production. Elsewhere, with Marvel Zombies premiering on Disney Plus last week, Marvel TV head Brad Winderbaum teased a possible season 2, but emphasized that would be contingent on viewership and new Disney Plus subscriptions. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Olsen took the opportunity to share that although she recorded lines for the series, she doesn't remember anything about the show or plot. It was a huge week for trailers from a bevy of our favorite franchises, so lets run them down with another good old fashioned Trailer Park:Insomniac and Sony released the first gameplay trailer for Marvel's Wolverine on the PS5, which will release in fall of 2026.Lucasfilm unveiled a new trailer for Star Wars; Visions Volume 3 which also announced the cast that includes Anna Sawai, Freddie Highmore, George Takei, Harvey Guillén, Jodie Turner-Smith, Judith Light, Simu Liu, Stephanie Hsu, and Steve Buscemi.The final trailer for Jon M. Chu's Wicked: For Good released last Wednesday morning to much acclaim.And finally, a new trailer for 20th Century's Avatar: Fire and Ash teased more of the villainous faction and stakes.Director Denis Villeneuve shed new light on his upcoming version of 007 for Amazon/MGM; sharing that the casting process will begin next year after he's completed production on Dune: Part Three for Warner Bros and that he is looking to cast a “relatively unknown” “fresh face” actor in their 20s or 30s. Additional criteria the filmmaker included is that the performer must hail from the British Isles and be male, as well as his desire to capture what Fleming called “a blunt instrument” — the lethal but “extremely dull, uninteresting man to whom things happened.” If Villeneuve and team stay true to these parameters, it potentially rules out many fan-casted favorites and seems to be in more alignment with the Broccoli family's traditions with the character than expected with new creatives in control.Mark Ronson is slated to reunite with Greta Gerwig to score her Chronicles of Narnia adaptation at Netflix. Ronson previously served as executive music producer for Gerwig's Barbie.Amazon MGM Studios‘ adaptation of Rebecca Yarros' bestselling novel Fourth Wing is closing in on a new showrunner. Wednesday Season 2 executive producer Meredith Averill is in final negotiations to board the project as writer and executive producer.Sony revealed that Spider-Man: Beyond the SpiderVerse will arrive a week earlier than expected, and land on June 18, 2027. Notably, that new date will cover the Juneteenth holiday as well as Father's Day. It previously was dated for June 25, 2027.Comedian Bill Burr is in talks to join the cast of Aaron Sorkin and Sony Pictures' sequel to The Social Network, after Jeremy Strong, Mikey Madison and Jeremy Allen White were officially cast. The film also has been retitled The Social Reckoning and will officially hit theaters on Oct. 9, 2026.A newly created AI “actress” named Tilly Norwood, designed by the studio Xicoia under Particle6, has reportedly drawn interest from Hollywood talent agencies. The announcement sparked major backlash from real actors, with critiques about replacing human talent, the ethics of compositing real faces, and calls to boycott agencies that represent AI personas.

Kelsi and Trey dive into the coming of age world of Little Women, comparing Gillian Armstrong's beloved 1994 adaptation with Greta Gerwig's 2019 reimagining. We unpack how each version interprets Louisa May Alcott's classic novel, from Armstrong's heartfelt, linear approach that leans into nostalgia and emotional honesty to Gerwig's two-timeline structure, which reframes the story as a reflection on memory, ambition, and the relationship between commerce and art. We also explore the performances—Winona Ryder's fiery Jo versus Saoirse Ronan's restless, modern take—and debate Laurie's evolution, Amy's redemption arc, and how both films portray love, art, and community. ⁠The Extra Credits YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Become a member of The Extra Credits+ on Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠How to link Patreon to Spotify and Apple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Letterboxd: ⁠The Extra Credits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: The Extra Credits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Reddit: r/TheExtraCredits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠@theextracredits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter: ⁠@theextracredits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Send requests, questions, and thoughts to our email: extracreditspod@gmail.com

Lessons From Barbie for When a Project Absolutely MUST Succeed - Mike Cohn I finally watched Barbie. I enjoyed it, which doesn't surprise me. It had to be good. Barbie was a must-succeed project. If the movie had flopped, it would probably be a decade before anyone could try again to make a Barbie movie. But a successful movie would serve as a platform for sequels. While watching Barbie (and singing along to “I'm Just Ken”) I was struck by a few important lessons that apply to any must-succeed project. The first tip for successful project management is to solicit and act on as much fast feedback as you can get on preliminary versions of your product. For Barbie, the filmmakers ran test screenings in multiple cities, analyzed feedback, and ran more test screenings. In our words, they iterated toward making a great movie. The second tip for managing projects successfully? Leave things out. Not every scene that's filmed makes it to the final movie. During test screenings of Barbie, the filmmakers performed what product development teams call A/B testing. Different versions of the movie were shown to different audiences to see which were best received. They used this feedback to remove scenes or shots that weren't necessary to the flow or humor of the film. Not every feature a team builds should remain in the product. The sunk cost fallacy often clouds our judgment—when we spend time building that feature, we think we might as well leave it in just in case someone wants it. But no. Unneeded and rarely used features clutter the user interface just as unneeded scenes can ruin a movie. Third, have a visionary who keeps the project focused but engage others for increased creativity. Greta Gerwig was that visionary for Barbie. She directed the movie and co-wrote the script. Her vision drove what we experience when watching the film. Agile projects have product owners who should act as visionaries for their products. They should see the future and guide others toward it. But no visionary, even an auteur filmmaker such as Gerwig, does it alone. The best welcome creativity from others on the project (including stakeholders and developers). During the production of 2001: A Space Odyssey, director Stanley Kubrick used a novel idea from his team. It was critical that HAL, the spaceship's onboard computer, overhear that crew members Poole and Bowman were going to disconnect him. Kubrick brainstormed ideas of how HAL could overhear those private conversations but could find no good solution. The solution came from his associate producer, Victor Lyndon, whose job had mostly been filing insurance paperwork for the film. Lyndon casually suggested that HAL can read lips. The vision for the film adaptation of Arthur C. Clarke's story remained very much Kubrick's, but he knew to use great ideas without regard for their origin. Finally, if you are working on a project that absolutely must succeed, include Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie as team members. OK, their coding, design, and database skills are probably lacking, but they were perfect as Ken and Barbie.

Gerwig's adaptation dances between past and present, breathing life into Louisa May Alcott's beloved characters. Saoirse Ronan's portrayal of Jo March is a symphony of passion and vulnerability. With its bold choices and luminous storytelling, "Little Women" invites us to ponder our own dreams against the backdrop of history.

Gerwig's semi-autobiographical script captures the essence of adolescence—the yearning for independence, the clash with parental expectations, and the search for identity. Lady Bird's journey feels real, raw, and deeply personal. Exceptional performances, hyperrealism, quirky characters, and a nostalgic soundtrack make this film a must-watch. It's a reminder that even in the ordinary moments, there's extraordinary beauty waiting to be discovered

Hey guys, it's Levi here with another jam-packed episode of What are We Doing. This week we're covering everything from Biden's latest gaffe to mass layoffs at Sports Illustrated and beyond. Let's kick things off with President Biden's speech at a brewery in Wisconsin, where he made a few unfortunate verbal stumbles that had people online questioning his cognitive health. As I'm sure you've seen by now, Biden mumbled something about "brew beered here" that came out as total nonsense. Cue the predictable pile-on from critics saying he's not fit to lead. My take? The man is 80 years old - give him a break! A few tongue twisters don't mean he's unfit for office. At the same time, it's probably best for Biden and the Democrats if he doesn't run again in 2024. Time to pass the torch. Shifting gears, we've got to talk about the ridiculous Oscars snubs for Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie. Both were overlooked for their work on the hit movie Barbie, which is up for Best Picture. Total insanity if you ask me. The Academy is clearly biased against comedies and female directors. Not nominating Gerwig for directing is absurd. And Robbie absolutely deserved a Best Actress nod. The Oscars should be ashamed. In wacky crime news, a Pennsylvania man was allegedly stabbed to death by his neighbor for - get this - snoring too loudly. Tragic and bizarre. The neighbor claims the snoring kept waking him up at night, so he went over there and confronted the guy, ending in violence. Senseless violence over something so trivial. My heart goes out to the victim's family. Okay, onto the media world. Big, bad news over at Sports Illustrated where mass layoffs are underway after a licensing dispute. The company that owns SI revoked the license from the publisher, which triggered immediate job cuts. Around 100 staffers were laid off this week across the publisher's properties. Morale is apparently very low at SI. Such a storied brand now struggling to stay afloat in the digital age. I hate to see talented journalists lose their jobs like this. That's just a sample of the stories we'll dive into on this episode. We've also got AI-related updates, the latest with X, and more. So tune in for my unfiltered take on the week's news.

Of course we talk about Ferrara's big speech and whether or not it worked for us.  Her delivery of the speech was riveting, but we both wish that Gerwig had trusted her audience a little more with the film's messaging.This movie was such a visual delight, so of course we get into favorite Barbie outfits and favorite set from the film.  I also asked Lauren to tell me who her Barbie would be and what she would wear.  We also applaud the film's inclusiveness, but would have loved a lot more LGBTQ+ representation.Thanks so much for listening!

Greta Gerwig is a woman who stars and directs film where the characters are dealing with an existential crisis, or rather, dealing with their identities and questioning life and our pupose in it. "Barbie" is the film that was meant for her to direct and what a way to put that life concept on a doll that has influenced modern culture and it continues to. This is one best films of the year that can probably win multiple awards including "Best Picture". I strongly believe it will definitely win "Best Screenplay" but comparing it to "Oppenheimer", I think "Oppenheimer" has a better chance winning "Best Picture". Overall, I dig "Barbie" for many reasons such as Gerwig's stage direction, the cinematography, and the production design that automatically hooks you in and displays an obvous fake world that slowly unwinds and further warps as the characters literally touch reality. It's unavoidable, the subject of thinking about death and how we certain mediums to communicate with not only our ownselves but the physical people we're trying to reach. Its great that Gerwig was able co-write a screenplay such as this BUT i really don't like the use of the crossing over different universes where one doesn't affect the other. It's a bit hard for me to grasp how Barbie can actually become a real person because afterall how the first act plays out, we are subliminally watching a grown woman playing with Barbie but it's more visually cinematic. I dig the cast in the film especially Will Ferrell's character, the president of Barbie, and Ryan Gosling playing Ken who he has a crisis of identity that plays to the notion that EVERYONE goes through s**t and for all the people who are condemning the ffilm to be sexist towards men, y'all are f***ing trippin'. What film did you see? What makes the film is the dialogue, where the ideas and concepts are deeply shared such as our pupose in life and who were should be, and it does stay with the audience even after the film, it's very relatable but it doesn't really tame the plot. I kind of wish it could have been more about the mom and her connection to her daughter rather than catering it to primarily to Barbie even though she is the title character. Sometimes it's more powerful to have that support the reason why she even exists in the first place.Three and a half out of four tokes.#barbiereview #barbiefilm

Despite having three daughters, I can't say I ever expected to discuss the theological implications of a movie based on Barbie dolls. And yet, Barbie is dominating headlines, not only for bringing in a whopping 155 million dollars on its opening weekend, but also for garnering thought-pieces on the deeper meaning of its plot and for its cultural implications about the identity and value of women. A Vox article, for example, compared its plot to the biblical account of the Garden of Eden, with a primal couple living in a paradise before newly discovered knowledge about good and evil taints the world with corruption.   Whether or not director Greta Gerwig intended that particular angle, her “Barbie” not only engages with contemporary discussions about feminism but also the biggest of worldview questions, such as “What's the meaning of life?” “What has gone wrong with the world?” and, “What will fix the world?” In the process, Barbie tells a story of the world that, beneath its shiny colors and self-aware snark, more closely reflects the tenets of postmodernism than the truths of Scripture.    In Barbieland, the meaning and purpose of life is to be happy, and happiness means a woman-run society of libertine freedom and unhindered expression. Lines repeated throughout the film include “Barbie is every woman, and every woman is Barbie,” and “Barbies can be anything, so women can be anything.” In this view, to be empowered is to be free of restraint and responsibility. Something that is also communicated in its view of motherhood.   Both Christian reflection and common sense betray what's wrong with this subjective view of happiness. If happiness is what life is all about, and our experiences of happiness swing on such an extreme pendulum of circumstance, freedom, and expression, how can anyone be happy for long? True happiness, as C.S. Lewis taught, is a byproduct of a life well lived, rather than the goal. Happiness requires that we are connected to something larger than ourselves, ultimately God. We belong to the One who made us for Himself, and, in Him, we find true joy.   Barbie's answer to the question, “What's wrong with the world?”  is, well, men. When she is cast into the “real world,” she discovers that its brokenness is due to the actions and attitudes of men, primarily against women. As one character proclaims, “We can only agree on one thing. We all hate women. Men hate women, and women hate women.”   This is both an astute observation and an odd complaint in a society unable or, more accurately, unwilling, to say what a woman is (other than as a “non-man”). In the world of this movie, every man is both oppressive and oblivious. Barbie can outsmart them all while Ken only “slows her down” and “gets into trouble.” Rather than accept the female-ruling class of Barbieland, Ken longs to emulate the powers of middle-aged white men in the “real world.” So, he introduces his own brave new world, “Kendom.”   But in the world of Kendom, the ultimate obstacle to happiness and freedom is men. They are not good. Women are. This is, of course, the same framing of reality that shaped second- and third- wave feminism.  In the biblical account, sin is disobedience and the longing for autonomy. What's wrong with the world is the conflict, pain, and death that resulted. Sin has infected the world ever since and has turned the sexes against one another. Men have screwed up the world. So have women. Both were created good by God. Both are not good because of sin.   In the film, Barbieland is fixed by expelling the patriarchy. Barbie calls on one of the “real” women from the “real” world to preach the gospel of oppression to brainwashed Barbies. The unthinking Kens turn against themselves. The Barbies are given a Barbie-fied version of Betty Freidan's Feminine Mystique: Women are victims of oppression and can never win. They are even victims of their own bodies, shaped as they are by the design of motherhood. On this point, the movie is not subtle. In a scene from the film's first two minutes, young girls, bored with their baby dolls, smash them on the ground until their heads explode. A pregnant Barbie is also hinted at as being “creepy” and is discontinued.    In the end, Barbieland is made new, restored to the paradisical, women-run society it once was. The Kens “find themselves” too, but apart from Barbie. In other words, men and women were not made for each other.     Or were they? Much of the film's discussion has to do with the final scene, in which Barbie chooses to not live in the restored Barbieland utopia, but in the real world of humanity instead. As such, there's a not-so-subtle acknowledgement of the reality of human bodies, especially the female body. It's not clear if Gerwig intended this final scene as a sort of undermining of the subjective portrayal of Barbieland. What is clear, whether she intended it or not, is that this is a world of objective realities, and the answers to life's biggest questions can only be found by first acknowledging that.  This Breakpoint was co-authored by Michaela Estruth.

In making “Oppenheimer,” which opens in theatres this weekend, the director Christopher Nolan relied on a Pulitzer Prize-winning 2005 biography of the father of the atomic bomb, “American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer,” by Kai Bird and the late Martin J. Sherwin. Bird is credited as a writer of Nolan's movie, and he spoke with David Remnick about the ambivalence that the scientist expressed publicly about the use of the bomb, which led to a McCarthyist show trial that destroyed his career and reputation.  “What happened to him in 1954 sent a message to several generations of scientists, here in America but [also] abroad, that scientists should keep in their narrow lane. They shouldn't become public intellectuals, and if they dared to do this, they could be tarred and feathered,” Bird notes. “The same thing that happened to Oppenheimer in a sense happened to Tony Fauci.” Plus, Greta Gerwig talks about her path to directing. Like “Barbie,” Gerwig's two previous films as a director and writer are concerned with coming of age as a woman. Once criticized as a “bossy girl,” Gerwig recalls, she tamped down her instinct to direct, focusing early in her career on acting and then screenwriting. She told David Remnick how she finally gave herself permission to be a filmmaker.
