The calls for Marvel to let go of its four-quadrant approach strategy continued all summer, despite the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine. Around Marvel, challengers for superhero storytelling, like Invincible and The Boys, continue to draw acclaim. Lucky for Marvel, Hit-Monkey returns with a second season, allowing the bloody animated series to occupy that space for them. Almost completely disconnected from the Avengers characters one usually associates with Marvel, Hit-Monkey highlights a unique angle for the studio. It’ll be curious to see if they follow this path, because the results make for an incredibly fun and emotional story.

Boxing legend Mike Tyson will be bouting with Internet personality Jake Paul in November and fans are sure that he will be pulverizing the controversial content creator in the ring. Tyson is a legend in the sport and has often been considered to be among the GOATs of boxing.
A video of Tyson showing his spatial and precision skills in a darts game made the rounds on the Internet ahead of his match with Paul. The boxer hits two bullseyes while being blindfolded. Many compared the performance to that of Jason Sudeikis’ dart game in Ted Lasso.

Add Beck Bennett to the list of Saturday Night Live stars populating superhero movies. James Gunn recently announced that Bennett would appear in his new Superman film as Steve Lombard, a loudmouthed sportswriter who lives to torment Clark Kent.
Bennett is just the latest SNL star to find his way into the Marvel and DC cinematic universes, too. Here are other SNL vets who suited up for super action…
1 Robert Downey Jr.
The undisputed king of this list, Downey spent a tortured year as an SNL cast member when he was only 21. “I learned so much in that year about what I wasn’t,” he told the Off-Camera Show’s Sam Jones. “I was not somebody who was going to do impressions. I was somebody who was very ill-suited for rapid-fire sketch comedy.”

Many a comedian has gotten their start or boosted their career on Saturday Night Live. The sketch television show has provided commentary on historical happenings and popular culture since October 1975. The 50th anniversary of the series approaches, as does the 2024 presidential election, full of commentary opportunities and sketches.
While hosts and musical guests — in some cases the same celebrity who pulls double duty — keep the show current with actors promoting works and musicians promoting albums, a group of cast members has always been the staple backdrop for the rotation of guests. Ted Lasso star Jason Sudeikis as well as Elf star Will Ferrell came up on SNL as did Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Actors like Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Billy Crystal. Martin Short and more contributed to the laughter of the sketch comedy show. Even late night hosts Seth Meyers and Jimmy Fallon appeared in skits.

Every movie has its own protagonists and antagonists, but even if it seems like an obvious choice who to root for, sometimes it's the villains that make the movie so much more interesting.
One of the villains who have earned the reputation of the ultimate cruel guy is Darth Vader of Star Wars, but there are many more supervillains that deserve attention – especially in sci-fi.
Here are 5 movie villains that are just as bad as Vader – or even badder.
1. Oscar from Colossal (2016)
We'll start with something you'd least expect. Colossal is a 2016 sci-fi comedy starring Anne Hathaway as Gloria, a party girl who discovers that she is some sort of supernatural being who can control a giant monster.
The film also stars Jason Sudeikis as Oscar, her friend-turned-enemy. After one night, he discovers that he has his own robot and gives in to the dark side of his personality. He...

Ted Lasso became a hit largely because of its sincerity and optimism. The main character, played by Jason Sudeikis, radiates positive vibes and always finds a way to lift the spirits of those around him. Through the eyes of an irrepressible optimist, the show's creators have given the world a light-hearted show filled with sincere characters.
If you've been looking for something similar to Ted Lasso (and there really aren't many projects like that), then we have the perfect show for you – Resident Alien.

Ocean’s Eleven, Ted Lasso and the challenging state of the television business were all topics addressed by Channing Dungey, chairman and CEO of Warner Bros Television Group, at the Banff World Media Festival on Monday.
In a Deadline-moderated panel at the Canadian event, Dungey teased that she has considered a remake of the classic heist film, which originally starred the Rat Pack including Frank Sinatra, and a more recent version starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts.
When asked what other Warner Bros movie titles she has considered rebooting for television, she said, “I think about things like Ocean’s Eleven, for example. That kind of a caper film, which is a great two-hour romp and what we might be able to do with that in sort of a limited series format, things like that might be kind of fun.”

It’s probably not the right time for a new version of “The West Wing,” but never say never, Warner Bros. TV Group chairman Channing Dungey told an audience on Monday at the Banff World Media Festival. “Perhaps there would be a point in the future when you might want to try to do that,” Dungey said of a new take on “West Wing.”
Dungey said a “Friends” reboot is still unlikely. “I think it would be very difficult to do another ‘Friends’ and call it ‘Friends,'” she said. “There have been so many shows that have been inspired by ‘Friends.’ That is such an iconic series and is constantly still running, so the idea that you would try to introduce a new Monica, a new Rachel and a new Ross, I don’t think that that would work.”
Among I.P. titles that Dungey would be interested in is “Ocean’s 11.

Warner Bros. Television Group chairman and CEO Channing Dungey says the era of a 600-show universe wasn’t good for TV viewers.
“The truth of the matter is Peak TV wasn’t really great for the business when you have 600 shows being made,” Dungey told the Banff World Media Festival while giving a Summit Series keynote address. Her comments on Peak TV’s downslope came as the industry grapples with escalating content costs and an industry contraction.
“I don’t mean to make light of the fact that as those numbers (600 shows) come down, you do have fewer people as jobs are harder to come by,” Dungey argued. But she added TV viewers couldn’t make sense of Peak TV amid its bounty.
“There’s no possible way that you can keep up with all of that, that you can see all of it and that lack of critical mass is frustrating and disappointing,...

Leslye Headland is not a tentative person. She pauses before speaking, but not because she’s waffling about what to say. More because she’s a writer and how is almost as important as what she says, and also because we’re talking about The Acolyte, her upcoming TV show set in the Star Wars universe during the High Republic (for the non-saber-pilled among us, that’s about 100 years before The Phantom Menace, the beginning of what’s referred to as the Skywalker Saga, when Sith happens). She is the showrunner,...

Remember how we used to catapult birds into fortresses run by evil pigs? Yeah, the Angry Birds video game was one of the most popular ones by far and no one was surprised when Sony released a movie adaptation that went on to become one of the more popular animated movies of that year. A sequel was released in 2019, also to mostly positive reviews and since then… nothing. Well, at least not until today! Namely, today, producer John Cohen released a short teaser video featuring Red, which confirmed that The Angry Birds Movie 3 was in production, which made many fans happy!
Not much is known about the upcoming project, but we know that Sony won’t be involved with the third movie, and that Dneg Animation and Rovio’s new parent company, Sega Sammy Group are producing the upcoming sequel to the 2019’s hit film.

Here’s what Regan said about the changes that have occurred in Kelce’s life.

The weekend’s Big Slick charity weekend in Kansas City was already a hot ticket for Saturday Night Live fans, given the sheer number of current and former cast members participating, but no one expected this.
On Saturday night, Robert Smigel and George Wendt led an all-star cast in staging a brand new installment of their classic SNL sketch “Bill Swerski’s Superfans.”
The new sketch saw Smigel and Wendt reprise their characters Carl Wollarski and Bob Swerski, while Jason Sudeikis stepped into the role of Todd O’Connor, originally played by the late Chris Farley. Sudeikis had three points of connection to the sketch: He’s a former SNL cast member, grew up in Kansas, and is Wendt’s nephew.
While the Superfans are best known as diehard Chicago fans, this time around they turned their focus to Kansas City’s hometown Chiefs with help from two very special guests: Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes,...

The popular, warm-hearted Apple TV+ comedy drama Ted Lasso is coming to DVD and Blu-Ray in the UK in July.
There are few success stories as unlikely as Ted Lasso. Originating as a character Jason Sudeikis played to promote NBC Sports’ coverage of the Premier League in 2013, it was another four years before Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence came aboard to develop the series for Apple TV+. Sudeikis’ long-time friend and colleague Brendan Hunt and Joe Kelly were also among the creative team.
The show is ostensibly about AFC Richmond, a fictitious London football club, but the heart of the show lies in the relationships between its characters.
Ted’s relentless optimism does not mesh well with the more cynical worldview of the team, but he eventually wins over steely club owner Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham), as he attempts to whip the team into shape with the cool and collected Coach Beard...

It’s the question on every Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce fan’s mind. Jason Sudeikis asked it in public.
While in character for a skit during the Big Slick Celebrity Weekend in Kansas City, Missouri, on Saturday, the Ted Lasso star asked Kelce, “Hey… when are you going to make an honest woman out of her?,” referring to Swift. The question is a dated term referring to “legitimizing” a relationship with marriage.
Sudeikis, joined by actors Robert Smigel and George Wendt, also in character, as well as Kelce, sat together at a table.
Sudeikis and Smigel discussed Kelce asking Swift to foot the bill for a new stadium, which the NFL star laughingly said, “Ain’t happening,”
Then Sudeikis, in character, asked his big question.
“Hey Travis, real talk Ok, just the guys here …” he began. He then asked his “honest woman” question.
The audience cheered, but Kelce just smiled and stroked his beard.

Walton Goggins was heavily praised for his portrayal of The Ghoul in Amazon Prime’s Fallout series, but behind the exceptional delivery was an anxious actor who believed he wouldn’t be able to give justice to the character.

The Emmy-nominated star initially had doubts if he could pull off and survive the project after he was met with struggles on the set. Transforming into The Ghoul was not a comfortable situation, and that has affected the actor’s confidence.

During his interview with Josh Horowitz via the Happy Sad Confused podcast, actor Walton Goggins confessed his frustration on the set of Fallout. On Day 1 of filming, he already was feeling the anxiety of not being able to do his job properly.

For basketball fans already mourning the potential loss of TNT’s Inside the NBA, there may be some small consolation: NBC may bring back John Tesh’s iconic “Roundball Rock.”
NBCU is reportedly set to bid $2.5 a year for rights to NBA games going forward, according to the Wall Street Journal. If the offer is successful, the company would supplant media rival Warner Bros. Discovery, whose TBS and TNT cable networks began carrying NBA games in 1988. TNT has been the flagship Turner network associated with pro basketball, with its Inside the NBA the gold standard of sports studio shows, since 1989.
The NBA’s other two partners in its next contract are said to be Disney and Amazon’s Prime Video.
If NBC is successful in securing the third slot, it would likely mean the end of the Emmy-winning Inside the NBA, much to the chagrin of sports fans. But when one door closes,...

"Saturday Night Live" might be a late-night show in New York, but since it airs before 10 p.m. in some regions it has to abide by the FCC's quirky rules on "indecent and profane" content. Swearing is a capital crime; in 1981, Charles Rocket was fired immediately after he accidentally dropped an F-bomb on air. Sex and nudity are also big danger zones; the 1988 sketch "Nude Beach" with Matthew Broderick, in which the word "penis" is uttered dozens of times, was permitted to air following a fierce debate within NBC's Broadcast Standard Department, and resulted in 46,000 complaints and the loss of multiple sponsors.
Fortunately for this "SNL" season 49 finale sketch, which stars guest host Jake Gyllenhaal as Fred in a twisted spin on "Scooby-Doo," violence on TV is basically a blood-soaked free-for-all with almost no limits.
