Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesMarvel Studios kickoffs of the summer blockbuster season in just 2 weeks with the release of Thunderbolts* on May 2. With tickets now on sale, box office tracking and projections ahead of the film's release are forecasting a solid, if not somewhat soft, opening weekend; with most estimates landing between $63 to $77 million. While that is on the lower side for an MCU movie, optimists believe the general lower level of familiarity with the characters on the roster, combined with the positive test screenings, could give the film significant potential and room to grow in subsequent weeks via word of mouth. Elsewhere, Captain America actor Anthony Mackie offered some insights on Avengers: Doomsday while promoting Twisted Metal Season 2 for Peacock, saying, “It's going to give the audience that old Marvel feeling that they always had.”​The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced the introduction of a new Oscar category for Achievement in Stunt Design, set to debut at the 100th Academy Awards in 2028, honoring films released in 2027. This decision follows years of advocacy from industry professionals, including director and former stuntman David Leitch and stunt coordinator Chris O'Hara, who was notably credited as the first official "stunt designer" for his work on The Fall Guy. While the specific criteria and presentation details are yet to be finalized, this move is seen as a significant step toward recognizing the creative and technical artistry of stunt professionals in filmmaking. However, there is notable disappointment that earlier works, such as Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible series, will not be eligible for this new recognition.​HBO has officially announced the adult cast for its upcoming Harry Potter TV series, confirming several roles and actors we've discussed, along with new additions. John Lithgow will portray Albus Dumbledore, Janet McTeer is cast as Minerva McGonagall, Paapa Essiedu takes on Severus Snape, and Nick Frost will play Rubeus Hagrid. Additionally, Luke Thallon has been cast as Professor Quirinus Quirrell, and Paul Whitehouse will portray Argus Filch. Casting for the central trio—Harry, Ron, and Hermione—is still underway, with over 32,000 children auditioning for these iconic roles. In an interview with Deadline, Warner Bros' Mike De Luca and Pam Abby confirmed that the studio is moving forward with sequels to A Minecraft Movie and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. This weekend, A Minecraft Movie crossed a half a billion dollars at the global box office.A24 has released the first trailer for Ari Aster's Eddington, which stars Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, and Emma Stone. The film will premiere next month at the Cannes Film Festival and then will release in theaters on July 18th.Comedian Nate Bargatze will host the 77th annual Emmy awards which will be held on September 14th The Last of Us season 2 debuted to 5.3 million viewers, a 13% increase from the season 1 premiere.Insider Jeff Sneider is reporting that a remake of the 1988 horror cult classic Killer Klowns From Outer Space is in the works at MGM with Ryan Gosling attached to produce. This scoop is currently unconfirmed at this time.Jurassic Park star Sam Neill has joined the cast of the upcoming Godzilla x Kong monsterverse sequel which will be directed by Grant Sputore.Ahead of Star Wars Celebration this weekend, a new Darth Vader novel titled Master of Evil from author Adam Christopher has been announced which will release on November 11th.

British actor and comedian Nick Frost is reportedly in final talks to play Rubeus Hagrid in HBO's upcoming Harry Potter TV series, a decade-long adaptation of J.K. Rowling's bestselling fantasy novels. Frost, known for Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, would step into the iconic role originally portrayed by Robbie Coltrane. While HBO has yet to officially confirm the casting, Frost's cryptic Instagram post and recent social media activity have fueled fan speculation.

Disney+ is set to bring a fresh take on the Power Rangers franchise, with Percy Jackson and the Olympians showrunners Jonathan E. Steinberg and Dan Shotz in discussions to lead the project. The new live-action series, produced by Hasbro and 20th Television, aims to reimagine the iconic property for a new generation while keeping longtime fans engaged.The Power Rangers franchise, which began as Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers in 1993, has spanned multiple iterations, movies, and reboots over the last three decades. Based on Japan's Super Sentai, the original series followed a group of teenagers granted the ability to morph into color-coded heroes, battling intergalactic threats with their signature Zords.While the series has enjoyed continued success, attempts to translate the franchise to the big screen have seen mixed results. The 2017 Power Rangers film, a darker, more YA-focused reboot, failed to generate the box office numbers necessary to launch a sequel, despite a passionate fan response.Hasbro acquired the Power Rangers brand in 2018, with an ambitious plan to expand its entertainment presence. This new Disney+ series is the latest effort to revitalize the franchise under Hasbro's guidance.Steinberg and Shotz have built a reputation for delivering compelling character-driven storytelling. Their work on Percy Jackson and the Olympians has been widely praised, successfully adapting Rick Riordan's beloved book series for Disney+. Their previous credits include The Old Man, an FX thriller starring Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow.Their involvement signals a commitment to quality storytelling and world-building, potentially giving Power Rangers the prestige TV treatment that long-time fans have hoped for.Hasbro Entertainment has been making aggressive moves in the television and film space, with projects based on Dungeons & Dragons, Magic: The Gathering, and Clue in the works. The company is leveraging its vast portfolio of intellectual properties, with Power Rangers positioned as a key franchise in this expansion.Details on the series' storyline, casting, or whether it will adapt an existing Super Sentai season remain under wraps. However, given Disney+'s commitment to high-budget fantasy and adventure programming, expectations for this new iteration are high.As the project develops, the question remains: will this be the definitive Power Rangers revival, or will it face the same challenges that previous reboots encountered?

CW: Spoilers for Conclave.The author Jacob Bacharach returns to the pod for a show about Edward Berger's entertaining political thriller Conclave starring Ralph Fiennes as a conflicted Cardinal who is required to preside over the selection of the new Pope, and amidst the infighting among the Cardinals, uncovers a shocking conspiracy within the halls of power in Vatican City. To discuss the reaction to Conclave from some offended Catholics means we have to spoil the big twist, but despite this movie being practically a commercial for the virtues of The Holy See and the future of the church, many have been outraged by the film's “liberal agenda” and its interpretation of Catholic dogma and we review some of the apoplectic highlights, from Megyn Kelly to Catholic film critics. We also discuss some of Our Boys in this: John Lithgow's ambitions to be the first Canadian Pontiff, and the two Italian men who would be Pope, Sergio Castellitto's racist, vaping Cardinal and the American liberal Stanley Tucci.We also discuss a completely forgotten all-star religious epic that is vaguely relevant to Conclave, 1972's Pope Joan, starring Liv Ullmann as a pious ninth-century woman who disguises herself as a man to save her life, moves up the hierarchy of the Catholic Church and is elected Pope, a medieval legend the film presents as fact. Over 30% of all Junk Filter episodes are only available to patrons of the podcast.

Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss the casting annoucement of John Lithgow as Dumbledore and what we can expect. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:·      2:00 What did we get in the book versus the film? In the book, Dumbledore is very wise and much more chill than the film. In the film, Dumbledore has a much more intense way about him. Especially when Michael Gambon took the part, Dumbledore became an intense guy with a lot of energy.·      12:51 How will he be translated? In an ideal world, it will be in the small moments. It's the little conversations and interaction that really give the characters their dimensions, so if we could have that with Dumbledore, we could get a more rounded view of him.·      17:00 Was he translated well? Yeah, I guess. On the whole it was fine, there were just little details that weren't so great. The change in character gave the films a challenge to match the characters yet continue to build upon them.·      21:52 Should he be the same? No, defiantly not. But that isn't because he was bad in the film, but because he should be more expanded. If one of the films was stretched out, would Dumbledore be the same? Probably not, the same way the show won't be the same in the best possible way.·      24:31 Prediction. I predict that Dumbledore won't be perfect, which might be a fail in my book. Absolute perfection would be the only way to succeed, and the bar is too high for true perfection. But that's not to say that he won't still be a fantastic character.Having anything you want to hear or say? Click here for a voice submission or here for text.
