Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesLast week, during an interview with Brazilian pop culture and media YouTube outlet, Omelete, to promote their new film, The Electric State, Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars directors, Joe and Anthony Russo offered insights on how the upcoming pair Avengers of films differ from their previous multi-phase, saga-concluders: Infinity War and Endgame; describing the duology as a “new beginning.” Joe Russo went on to reiterate the real motivation for the creative duo returning to the franchise after leaving on an all-time high more than 5 years ago. In a double dose of DC casting news, sitcom vet Jason Ritter has joined the cast of Lanterns in a recurring role as Billy Macon, a ‘good-looking charmer who does his father's bidding, clings to his small-town ego and has everything to lose.' Elsewhere, The Penguin actor, Colin Farrell has entered negotiations to replace Daniel Craig as the titular sergeant of Luca Guadagnino's Word War II film, Sgt. Rock.Despite the release of several new genre films, last weekend's domestic box office was notably slow – at an approximate $54 million total, sluggish enough to earn the title of 2025's worst box office thus far. Paramount's R-rated action comedy, Novocaine, starring Jack Quaid, took the top spot with $8.7 million, slightly below expectations. Meanwhile, Mickey 17 suffered a 60% drop in its second weekend, barely managing to stave off Steven Soderbergh's spy thriller, Black Bag, with hauls of $7.51 and $7.5 million, respectively.After more than a year of speculation, Apple TV+ has officially ordered a fourth season of its Emmy-winning comedy Ted Lasso. The pickup comes after co-creator and star Jason Sudeikis closed a deal to reprise his role as the titular character. Disney has released the first official trailer for body swap comedy reunion sequel Freakier Friday starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan. The film hits theaters on August 8th, 22 years after the original. Conan O'Brien, who hosted the 97th Oscars telecast on March 2, has agreed to return and host the 98th Oscars telecast on March 15, 2026, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Monday. CBS has also announced that comedian Nikki Glaser will return in 2026 to host the 83rd annual Golden Globes.More than a year after Warner Bros. shelved Coyote vs. Acme for tax incentives, independent distributor Ketchup Entertainment is reportedly nearing a deal to acquire the film for around $50 million. Ketchup recently handled the theatrical release of The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie, which has earned $3.9 million since its March 14 debut.Columbia Pictures is plotting a new Starship Troopers movie, tasking District 9 filmmaker Neill Blomkamp to write and direct an adaptation of the classic sci-fi novel story by Robert A. Heinlein. The Hollywood Reporter has learned “zero progress” has been made on Saw XI since writing partners Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan turned in a draft back in spring of 2024. Speaking on the project, Melton said “The reason it's held up is just, there's inter-squabbling between producers and Lionsgate. They just can't quite get on the same page.” A24 has released the first trailer for romantic feature film Materialists starring Pedro Pascal, Chris Evans, and Dakota Johnson. The film hits theaters on June 13th. Netflix has released the first trailer for Adam Sandler-led sequel Happy Gilmore 2. The film begins streaming on July 25th. Darren Aronofsky is in talks to direct Netflix's Cujo, a remake of Stephen King's classic horror novel about a vicious St. Bernard.The project is still in early development, and sources say Aronofsky has yet to hold creative discussions with Netflix. If the deal goes through, this would be his first feature film for a streaming platform.

I am your host, Anthony La Pira, and I will be taking you on a cinematic journey through the sprawling cityscapes, the crippling datastorms, and the cybernetic implants that encompass all things Cyberpunk.In this week's episode, I will be breaking-down the 2013 dystopian cyberpunk social commentary ELYSIUM – written and directed by Neill Blomkamp; starring Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley, Alice Braga, Diego Luna, Wagner Moura, and William Fichtner. In the year 2154, the very wealthy live on a man-made space station while the rest of the population resides on a ruined Earth. A man takes a mission that could bring equality to the polarized worlds.Elysium was the follow-up film for Neill Blomkamp after he exploded on the scene in 2009 with District 9, which garnered a Best Picture nomination and countless Top-Ten lists. This is Blomkamp is full cyberpunk mode and he does a great job of exploring the thematic signatures of our favorite sub-genre.So, do me a favor – it's time to access your cranial jacks, boot up your Ono-Sendai Cyberspace 7, and slap on your damn mirror-shades.

(Spoiler alert) they dissociate, dehumanize, and delegitimize the group they are othering. This time we examine how it happens, why it happens, and what happens when the tables suddenly turn all through the lens of science fiction!

Welkom bij aflevering 173 van Nerd Culture! In deze aflevering duiken we in het laatste nieuws en bespreken we alles van de terugkeer van Ted Lasso tot de hoge scores van Terminator Zero en nog heel veel meer. Ga er goed voor zitten want de nerds zijn weer compleet! Infamous Iron Man Infamous Iron Man is een Marvel Comics-serie die draait om Victor Von Doom, beter bekend als Doctor Doom, die de mantel van Iron Man overneemt. Na de dood van Tony Stark besluit Doom zijn leven te veranderen en probeert hij een held te worden in plaats van een schurk. De serie verkent zijn interne strijd, zijn pogingen om verlossing te vinden, en hoe de wereld reageert op zijn onverwachte transformatie. De complexe moraal van Doom en zijn worsteling met zijn verleden vormen het hart van deze boeiende verhaallijn. Alien Romulus valt in de smaak Alien: Romulus is de nieuwste toevoeging aan de iconische Alien-franchise, geregisseerd door Fede Álvarez en geproduceerd door Ridley Scott. De film belooft nieuwe verhaallijnen binnen het Alien-universum te verkennen en introduceert frisse personages, terwijl het de spannende en angstaanjagende sfeer behoudt waar de serie om bekend staat. Álvarez brengt een vernieuwende blik op de franchise, waarbij hij de geliefde horrorelementen combineert met innovatieve storytelling. Met Ridley Scott als producent, streeft Alien: Romulus ernaar om de erfenis van de eerdere films te eren en tegelijkertijd een nieuwe richting in te slaan. Zien we Ripley ooit terug? Sigourney Weaver heeft de mogelijkheid besproken om terug te keren als Ripley in de Alien-franchise na de release van Alien: Romulus. Hoewel ze zich nog steeds verbonden voelt met het personage, heeft ze nog geen script gelezen dat haar overtuigt om terug te keren. Ze staat open voor een nieuwe film, maar vindt dat Ripley haar rust heeft verdiend. Weaver zou oorspronkelijk terugkeren in Neill Blomkamp's geannuleerde Alien 5, maar dat project werd stopgezet ten gunste van Ridley Scott's visie. Fans blijven nieuwsgierig of Ripley ooit terugkeert. Krijgen we Ted Lasso seizoen 4? Warner Bros. Television heeft de contracten van drie belangrijke Ted Lasso castleden, Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein en Jeremy Swift, verlengd, wat de weg vrijmaakt voor een mogelijk vierde seizoen. Er wordt verwacht dat de studio binnenkort ook andere castleden, zoals Juno Temple, zal benaderen voor nieuwe contracten. De voortgang van het project hangt af van de betrokkenheid van Jason Sudeikis, de drijvende kracht achter de show. Productie kan in 2025 starten, afhankelijk van de beschikbaarheid van de cast en budgetgoedkeuring.

Zero and Wiz RECOMMEND Gran Turismo I gotta give Gran Turismo credit: this might be the most interesting of all the video game movie adaptations when it comes to the concept and the story. Instead of it being a straight interpretation of the game, this movie is about a young man who played "Gran Turismo" so well that he enrolled into a contest that led him to be a professional race car driver. The story of Jann Mardenborough is definitely a fascinating one on paper. But if you were to watch Gran Turismo the movie, you are led to believe his story is pretty much like any other underdog to champion, outsider to professional sports player that have been made countless times before. Let's hit the checklist: Well meaning parental figure who's telling him to get his head out of the clouds and find meaning in live even though he wants to follow his dreams who then realizes...with pride of course...that his son could do it after all and shows his love and support? Check. Once in a lifetime opportunity that brings him face-to-face with his dreams? Yep. Surly, but well meaning coach who has no faith in him but then comes around and realizes he truly belongs? Oh yeah. Opponents he has to defeat are egotistical, arrogant and just all around jerks to him while others around him are the nicest, sweetest people who "just wants to see him succeed"? You got it. If this is truly how his whole story turned out, then God is truly a screenwriter. But what makes this different from those films? Well...it is based on a video game, right? The film really...and I mean REALLY...hammers home that he is a gamer at heart. The film tries to emphatically demonstrate that he is as talented as he is because of video games. And how they do that is by showing you everything in "gamer vision". What's "gamer vision"? Basically, when Jann does something exceptional, the movie mimics a UI of a video game. The vast majority of time it's with the actual Gran Turismo game, which at times can be a nice touch. The only problem is that they use it way too much. It would have been a lot better if they used it sparingly, like in key sequences in the movie. Instead, they seem to really want to show that "this is from a video game!". Also, it felt really corny how everyone just insulted him as a sim racer by calling him a "gamer" or a "noob". It was eyerollingly bad when an old man insulted him by calling him a noob. Notice how I didn't say any of this was bad. Well, honestly, it isn't exactly good. But it's pretty...competent? The actors do a fine enough job on the film, though David Harbour is the one that carried the film with his quips and heart throughout. And the racing on screen is good...but the over reliance on camera angles and UI evoking Gran Turismo becomes tiresome. But honestly, if you like sports movies and you have no previous experience with Gran Turismo, the over reliance on gaming iconography will not bother you quite as much (if at all). It's a perfectly enjoyable, competent sports movie.

For the fourth time in the history of the podcast, Team Vintage Sand returns to one of its most popular formats, the Hidden Gems episode. As we did previously in episodes 11, 30, and 40, Michael, John and I each choose one film to discuss that we feel has been unjustly neglected and overlooked by the huddled masses yearning to see anything besides a prequel, sequel, spinoff or reboot. So please enjoy Episode 53, which features three films that could not be more different from one another. Michael takes us back to the 70's and to a John Cassavetes film that was ignored and even despised upon its (very limited) initial release but has only gained in reputation and influence across the years. I focus on a very imperfect genre film, Neill Blomkamp's second feature, 2013's "Elysium" that, perhaps even more powerfully and viscerally than acknowledged masterworks like "The Social Network" and "Her", predicted a desperate future that we appear to be headed for much sooner than the filmmaker anticipated. Finally, John shines the spotlight on Alice Wu, a unique filmmaker and storyteller. Her second film, The Half of It, a lovely variation on the "Cyrano de Bergerac" formula, had the misfortune of being premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival…that never took place, because it was 2020. It ended up in the undifferentiated mass of content that is Netflix, from which John will hopefully save it. Enjoy, stay cool in the heat, see great movies, and Thank You for Listening, Citizen!
