Though nothing has been officially announced, The Marvels pretty much confirmed that Marvel Studios is planning some sort of Young Avengers project. Previous rumors have pointed to a Disney+ series, but more recent reports point to the Jr. roster of Earth's Mightiest Heroes assembling on the big screen.

We have a pretty good idea of the characters that will make up the core team, but it sounds like the Young Avengers roster might end up being a lot bigger than we realized.

According to The Cosmic Circus' Alex Perez, the team was "going to be a mixture of YA & Champions," and he believes it's definitely going to be a "hefty line-up because there are a lot of candidates."

There does tend to be at least some crossover between the Young Avengers and the Champions in the comics, but the latter's original line-up included Sam Alexander (Nova), Miles Morales (Spider-Man), and...

Brilliant Minds — – Pictured: Zachary Quinto as Dr. Oliver Wolf — (Photo by: Rafy/NBC) The new drama Brilliant Minds represents a kind of homecoming for Zachary Quinto. After all, the show that helped launch his career, Heroes, aired as part of NBC’s Monday night lineup from 2006-2010, and now Brilliant Minds is airing in the time slot Heroes once occupied. The irony hasn’t been lost on Quinto, who said he’s gotten some serious Heroes vibes with the new show.

Salman Khan is a man who has ruled the box office ever since he arrived on the silver screen with Maine Pyar Kiya. In fact, when we talk about the iconic box office goldmines of Indian Cinema, Hum Aapke Hain Koun rules the list for innumerable records. But today, instead of the glories, we decided to talk about the not-so-good days!

The Troublesome Year – 2008

The year 2008 was a rare occurrence for Bhaijaan when nothing he did worked at the box office. That year, he arrived with God Tussi Great Ho, Heroes, and Yuvraaj! While he had a short stint in Heroes, the other two were highly anticipated, but none worked!

Interestingly, the same year, Salman Khan delivered a disaster for his brothers as well, while his cameo along with Katrina Kaif jinxed a...

Tyler, the Creator is speaking to the times on “Noid,” the newest single from his upcoming album, Chromokopia. The song is part of Tyler’s straight-to-the-point album rollout, where the music and visuals — not his characteristic outspokenness — have taken center stage.

Last week, Tyler dropped “St. Chroma,” which featured him whispering over militaristic stomps. A week later, he dropped “Noid,” admitting he was “paranoid” about how stardom made him a target. “I can’t even buy a home in private/home invasion got my brothers dyin’,” he raps about the ever-present threat of celebrity burglaries.

We know that Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars are shaping up to me massive MCU events, and it sounds like the latter, in particular, might just turn out to be the most ambitious superhero movie of all time in terms of scale and scope.

Though no characters have been officially confirmed just yet, the movie is expected to feature a new roster of Earth's Mightiest Heroes along with the surviving members of the original team - and possibly even variants of the likes of Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) and Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson).

Robert Downey Jr. will definitely be back - but as Doctor Doom (who may or may not turn out to be a Tony Stark variant).

Now, we're hearing that another major player from the Infinity Saga will also be making his long-awaited return: The Mad Titan himself, Thanos!

According to scooper Mttsh, the powerful villain will...

Supernatural was a show that Eric Kripke described as not having a lot of its own mythology, hence he preferred the show over the likes of Lost and Heroes. However, that did not stop the writer/director from taking inspiration from real-world belief systems for his work, given that he was dealing with angels, demons, and monsters in Supernatural.

Misha Collins’ Castiel was perhaps as synonymous with Supernatural as the Winchester siblings, being a major pull for the show and the CW. In preparation for the role, Kripke assigned the onscreen Angel some homework, the kind that allowed him to play the character more accurately.

Speaking with MovieWeb, the actor revealed that Eric Kripke has Collins turn to religious texts in preparation for his role as an Angel of the Lord.

Squaring off against criminals in any situation is harrowing enough without adding an armored car and a narrow bridge. The environment is a significant part of the strategic means to potentially violent ends, and Sylvester Stallone did not come to play in Lionsgate‘s Armor trailer.

Justin Routt directs Armor from a screenplay by Adrian Speckert and Corey Todd Hughes. Academy Award nominee Sylvester Stallone and Jason Patric star in Routt’s action-packed thriller about the lengths one man will go to save what’s left of his family and reclaim his own life. James and his son Casey are armored truck drivers tasked with delivering a suspicious package. After a violent ambush on the road, James and Casey become trapped until they discover the value of what they have been carrying and join forces to outgun and outwit their attackers.

Eric Kripke has been responsible for some of the greatest shows, being cornerstones of multiple fandoms. Be it The Boys, or Supernatural, Kripke has been very keen on making some of fandom’s greatest shows, which have had a lot of time to grow and build their own lore across multiple seasons.

The Boys || Credit: Prime Video

Speaking about the nature of his shows, Kripke revealed that there was something that distinguished the shows that he created from shows like Lost, and Heroes. The key difference in shows like Supernatural is the fact that there is very little internal mythology for them to work with, which can shift and change in each installment of the narrative.

Disney+ is expanding their live streaming options, introducing four channels: Hallowstream, Hits & Heroes, Throwbacks, and Real Life. While Disney+ does currently have “non-stop playlists”, this expansion will aim to reach a wider audience within their subscriber base while fulfilling the niches within the service.

Last month, Disney+ introduced ABC News Live and Disney+ Playtime, which is geared towards the pre-school-aged audience. In their initial announcement of these, the House of Mouse also teased versions of the four aforementioned channels. For Seasonal Content, expect “a collection of seasonal-themed content”, so in this case you can anticipate a stream of movies like Hocus Pocus, Halloweentown and maybe even Mr. Boogedy.

Hits & Heroes is now evidently a twist on Epic Stories, which offers “a compilation of action-packed stories from marquee brands and franchises, including Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars.” Throwbacks, on the other hand, will play off of some of the studio’s most iconic animated and live-action,...

Streams on Disney+ allow viewers to lean back and watch a preselected lineup of shows rather than be forced to pick a new episode for themselves.

When you log into a streaming service, do you suddenly become paralyzed by the overwhelming number of titles to choose from? Well, Disney+ is aiming to help with that. On Monday, the streamer continued rolling out around-the-clock streaming channels for subscribers who don’t want to have to deal with deciding what to watch. These channels offer continuous feeds of select titles found in the on-demand library of Disney+, streaming 24 hours a day so viewers never have to try to sort through the expansive catalog and pick what they’ll watch next. The channels first launched in early September, and this week Disney+ has announced that it is adding four new options to the lineup.

Key Details: Disney+ is rolling out the “Hallowstream,” “Hits & Heroes,...

After dipping a toe into the continuous, live programming waters last month, Disney+ is adding four more live channels.

The new offerings, Hallowstream, Hits & Heroes, Throwbacks, and Real Life, expand on the two launched in August, ABC News and Disney+ Playtime.

In announcing the expansion, the company took pains to describe the channels as “playlists” and “streams,” avoiding the acronym Fast, industry shorthand for “free, ad-supported streaming television.” One obvious reason for that is that the channels are not free and can only be accessed by subscribers to Disney+. The overall Fast marketplace has boomed in recent years, becoming a multi-billion-dollar segment, though subscription players have largely been reticent about mixing messages to paying customers.

Disney is adding the new channels for U.S. subscribers only as it gets set to raise prices for Disney+, Hulu and select bundles on October 17.

The Disney+ Playtime and ABC News streams have drawn...

The third album in as many years from the Smile, the side project of Radiohead bandmates Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood, Cutouts was born out of the same sessions that yielded last January’s Wall of Eyes. The strategy isn’t unlike that of Radiohead’s Kid A and Amnesiac, companion albums released less than a year apart. Yorke and Greenwood are restlessly prolific artists, so attempts to understand their contemporary output by comparing it to what they did a quarter of a century ago might seem like a fool’s errand. But those albums provide a case study for how a band can navigate their creative ambition in a more conceptual way than simply dropping a bloated double or triple album.

Like Amnesiac, Cutouts initially feels like a more challenging listen than Wall of Eyes, prioritizing atmosphere and mood over traditional songcraft. The album opens with two steadfastly dirge-like tracks that,...

Duff McKagan has released a cover of the David Bowie classic “Heroes,” as well as a new original glam-rock song titled “True to the Death Rock N’ Roll Ballad.” The two new tracks come as the Guns N’ Roses bassist gets set to embark on his fall “Lighthouse Tour ’24.”

The veteran rocker’s UK/European leg kicks off on Monday (September 30th) in Dublin, Ireland, and runs through October 22nd in Stockholm, Sweden, with tickets available here. A US outing will launch November 4th in Boston, and wrap up November 20th in Seattle (pick up ticket here).

Zachary Quinto made a big splash on Heroes, a series that was a big hit for NBC way back in 2006. Now, he's back on the network playing a very different role in a very different series. Will Brilliant Minds also be a hit? Will this show be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.

A medical drama series, the Brilliant Minds TV show was created by Michael Grassi. The series stars Quinto, Tamberla Perry, Ashleigh Lathrop, Alex MacNicoll, Aury Krebs, Spence Moore II, Teddy Sears, and Donna Murphy. Inspired by the extraordinary life and work of author and physician Oliver Sacks, the story follows Dr. Oliver Wolf (Quinto), an eccentric but incredibly gifted neurologist who suffers from a rare condition. It gives him a unique perspective on care, fueling his mission to change how the world...

Nearly 20 years after his breakout role in “Heroes,” Zachary Quinto returns to NBC as a world-class, eccentric doctor in “Brilliant Minds.” The “Star Trek” and “American Horror Story” star plays Dr. Oliver Wolf, a neurologist who lives with a brain disorder — prosopagnosia, colloquially known as “face blindness” — and believes “you can’t treat a patient without understanding who they really are and sometimes the only course of treatment is breaking the rules.”

But Dr. Oliver Wolf isn’t a figment of fiction and those philosophies weren’t invented for the screen — he’s got his roots in the incredible true story of a legendary physician. Here’s what you need to know what’s true in “Brilliant Minds.”

Is “Brilliant Minds” based on a true story?

Yes, but it’s not strictly following the details of the real-life Dr. Oliver.

“Brilliant Minds” is inspired by the life and writing of renowned British doctor,...

Hayden Panettiere didn’t sleep much in the two days that led up to her recent interview with People, she said in a new post — something the actress added contributed to how she appeared in a video interview with the magazine that drew concern from fans. “Like I’ve said before, I am a work in progress. We all are,” the actress, known for her work in the “Scream” and “Heroes” franchises as well as “Nashville,” wrote in a lengthy post shared on Instagram.

“I would like to take a moment to address the controversy surrounding an interview I recently completed with People Magazine,” her message began. “It’s unfathomable that I’m even in this position, but I feel forced to address it in a space where I won’t be criticized for how fast or slow I speak.”

Before Hayden Panettiere’s drama with Brian Hickerson made headlines, her love life was already a hot mess. Her whirlwind romance with boxing legend Wladimir Klitschko seemed like it could’ve been the fairy-tale ending, but addiction was crashing the party.

Despite their strong connection, Panettiere’s struggles with drug addiction were tearing them apart. What looked like a love story for the ages quickly turned into a cautionary tale of how fame, addiction, and love can collide in brutal ways.

Actor Eric Roberts will make his debut on Dancing With the Stars for its 33rd season. The actor revealed that his appearance on the show actually had a long time coming. Fans have also taken to social media to praise the actor’s performance so far.

A Scheduling Conflict Kept The Actor From Appearing Earlier

For his debut on the series, Roberts was paired with professional dancer Britt Stewart. Performing a cha-cha act, the two danced to the tune of “Old Time Rock and Roll.”

This isn’t the first time Roberts was considered for a spot on the show. In a statement, he revealed that he was previously offered a chance to appear on the show 19 years prior.

Saying that it was “better late than never,” he explained a scheduling conflict kept him from dancing on the show:

In an era dominated by streaming services, where companies are fighting for our undivided attention, few names hold as much power as Disney. The entertainment titan has been at the forefront of media evolution, from animated classics to its acquisition of heavyweight franchises.

Yet, as the streaming landscape shifts, Disney’s latest move has sparked a heated debate. With some fans feeling like they’ve been transported back to the ’90s, the recent decision involving Marvel and Star Wars has left many wondering: is this a brilliant leap forward or merely a cash grab? And what does it mean for the future of content consumption?

Disney’s empire boasts some of the most iconic and lucrative franchises in the world, including Marvel and Star Wars,...

For Marvel and "Star Wars" fans, the fantastical superhero world and that famous galaxy far, far away are both getting much closer than ever before. More so than most major studios, Disney has been trying to remain on the cutting edge of the streaming era ever since the debut of Disney+ and the premieres of the various shows in both franchises. That's led to more than its fair share of ups and downs over the years -- the highs being the immediate breakout success of hits like "The Mandalorian" or "WandaVision," and the lows most notably arriving with CEO Bob Iger admitting that a glut of streaming series ended up diluting the overall brand.

All that has led to the latest twist in this years-long saga, as Disney makes its most dramatic move yet in the streaming space. In a new Bloomberg report, the outlet sat down with Disney entertainment...

Disney+ was intended to be Disney’s flagship streaming service, designed to compete with Netflix and capture a significant share of the streaming audience through its extensive library of past releases and original content.

However, recent reports indicate that the company may have overextended itself financially, with Disney+ reportedly facing over $11.4 billion in operating losses.

Despite Disney+ having a large subscriber base and strong viewership, its significant spending hasn’t been justified. As other streaming services expand their content and audiences return to cinemas, Disney+ has experienced a notable drop in revenue.

To recover some of its investments, Disney+ is implementing several strategies, including the introduction of “playlists” or “channels.” Later this year, Disney+ will launch four new channels: Hallowstream (seasonal content), Hits and Heroes, Throwbacks (pop-culture nostalgia), and Real Life (documentaries and biopics).

These additions aim to boost viewer engagement on the platform. Currently, Disney+ has a viewership share...

FX’s Shogun extended its reign over the 2024 Emmys on Sunday night. Going into the evening, the hit samurai series already held the record for the most wins by any show in a single year, having bagged 14 trophies at the Creative Arts Emmys a week ago. But the show further cemented its rule inside the Peacock Theater at the Primetime Emmys, winning an additional four awards, including the top categories of best drama series, best actress in a drama series for Anna Sawai, best actor in a drama series for Hiroyuki Sanada and best drama directing for Frederick E.O. Toye.

Shogun’s triumph is momentous on several fronts. The historic awards haul represents a huge win for FX and parent company Disney for a pricey series that took nearly 10 years to bring to fruition and once looked like a very uncertain bet. It’s also a major moment for Asian representation and non-English-language television.

On September 20, Halle Berry makes her long-awaited return to the world of horror with Never Let Go, Alexandre Aja's mind-bending, intense new movie. It should go without saying that the actor is terrific in her role as "Momma" and we recently got to catch up with the Oscar-winner to discuss the project.

It was only a brief conversation but, as we wrapped up, we asked Berry whether there's a chance she'll return as Storm in the next Avengers movies, Doomsday and Secret Wars.

All signs point to the X-Men and Earth-10005 playing a key role in where the Multiverse Saga goes next and, after Berry recently confirmed she was ready and willing to suit up as Ororo Munroe again for Deadpool & Wolverine (she wasn't asked, unfortunately), we'll surely get to see her blast back into action as this iconic member of the X-Men.

Blake Shelton has just revealed his 2025 tour and not only that, there will be special guests joining him. He is already kicking off a Las Vegas residency but now, Blake will be adding tour dates. So, who will be accompanying him on the road and when will this all begin? Keep reading for all of the details.

Blake Shelton Reveals 2025 Tour With Special Guests

When Blake Shelton left The Voice, it was clear that he was going to be busy. He had Hallmark movies and new music he was working on, a new season of Barmageddon, and bars to open. His Ole Red franchise was blossoming by the second plus he has his wife, Gwen Stefani, and her three children to tend to. There were not enough hours in the day for Blake. He ventured out on a short tour in early 2024 and Ole Red has been a smash hit.

Zachary Quinto, the star of NBC’s new medical procedural Brilliant Minds (previously titled Dr. Wolf), said he was initially hesitant to return to network television, especially given its contractual basis. However, the Heroes actor signed on to the series, citing a changing dynamic between streaming and network models.

“The conversation around network versus streaming has shifted, and the industry has experienced a return to [a type of] television it had departed pretty significantly from,” he said in a recent cover story with Entertainment Weekly. “There’s something about the reliability of [network procedurals]. Audiences are more interested in appointment television than they were for a little while.”

Though cord-cutting remains prevalent and streaming shows dominate ratings, audiences have been vocally disillusioned with SVOD-based services, especially when their profit models lead to the cancellations of niche series and increasingly expensive shows gestate for longer times in between new seasons (at times dropped in frustrating batch...

The book is not just designed for children but also for adults, bringing families together to enjoy classic stories curated by critics, animators, and directors. Discovering films as a child used to involve nostalgic trips down the aisles of a video rental store. Nowadays, films are chosen from the comfort of a couch.

The 288-page book is beautifully designed and illustrated and split neatly into four sections: PreSchoolers (2-4), Little Kids (5-7), Big Kids (8-9), and Tweens (10-12). Spanning decades, genres, moods, plotlines, nations, and languages, the only thing that ties the 100+ film recommendations together is that they can easily be found on most streaming services.

Now that September is here, so is the much-publicized Hallmark+ rebranding. On September 10, Hallmark Movies Now will be rebranded into a streaming channel that includes Reality TV shows. This is the first time the feel-good network is going to venture into the unscripted territory.

The newly rebranded streamer will feature reality shows with heart. Hosted by some of the network’s most popular stars including Lacey Chabert, Jonathan Bennett, and Wes Brown, the network has an opportunity to change the tone of a Realty TV show.

What should viewers expect?

With Robert Downey Jr. making a grand return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Doctor Doom, fans are chomping to see which characters will be rounding out the roster for the highly anticipated film, Avengers: Doomsday. It’s common knowledge that The Avengers flicks are renowned for bringing together a motley crew of heroes and villains from various corners of the comic book universe, and this one promises to be no exception.

It feels like watching a chef swap from making gourmet dishes to whipping up a spicy new recipe, especially with Downey Jr. trading his Iron Man suit for a villain’s cape. Despite the shift, expectations are sky-high for his performance. More spicy news to chew on: the Hulk, that big green behemoth, is back in action for Avengers: Doomsday—not in his millennial ‘Smart Hulk’ avatar, but in his raw, unedited primal rage form.

Exclusive: Hayden Panettiere will star in A Breed Apart. Known for playing Claire Bennet in Heroes, Kirby Reed in slasher franchise Scream and Juliette Barnes in Nashville, Panettiere will take an as yet unspecified role in the film, which uses Wes Craven’s cult 2006 picture The Breed as a jump-off point.

In addition to Panettiere signing on, Deadline can also reveal the film has rounded out its ensemble cast.

Joey Bragg, Troy Gentile, Riele Downs and Page Kennedy will all appear. They join the previously announced Virginia Gardner and Grace Caroline Currey, who were seen together in vertigo-inducing Netflix movie Fall.

Billed as a reimagining of Wes Craven-produced and Nicholas Mastandrea-directed The Breed, the upcoming movie is more accurately a sequel of sorts and is set after events of the first film. The new picture originally bore the same name, but the title has now been tweaked.

Taylor Sheridan has built a television empire with his Yellowstone universe. Now, he’s adding to it with a modern-day spinoff, The Madison.

With the future of the original series Yellowstone up in the air because of Kevin Costner’s departure, The Madison will be able to keep the Yellowstone universe going even without John Dutton, sadly.

It would have been cool to see Kevin Costner pop up in The Madison, but it’s not to be. But anything is possible in Hollywood these days, so you never know.

Despite all the criticism, Yuki Tabata’s Black Clover is recognized as one of the greatest new-gen masterpieces. With only a few chapters left before the manga’s conclusion, Black Clover will soon join the ranks of other great shonen manga, such as My Hero Academia and Demon Slayer.

Yuki Tabata created an entirely new magical universe with intriguing characters for his audience. As the anime picks up pace, most fans overlook the earlier criticism of Naruto and Asta’s resemblance thanks to Black Clover‘s engaging plot and splendid narrative.

Surprisingly, Yuki Tabata’s personal life caused him a lot of distress. During those tough times, Tabata deeply appreciated Kōhei Horikoshi’s emotional support, which brought the mangaka to tears with his uplifting words.

NBC’s Brilliant Minds will premiere in September of the upcoming fall season.

While medical dramas are a dime a dozen, Brilliant Minds differs because it’s based on the real-life Dr. Oliver Wolf Sacks.

The series focuses on the larger-than-life neurologist who was not afraid to break the rules to help his patients live life to the fullest.

While the series focuses mainly on the protagonist, it also includes an exciting ensemble, including his old friend Dr. Pierce and his team of interns.

The team explores cases related to the human mind while examining their own mental health issues and relationships.

With real-life inspiration, rich characters, and a talented cast, we hope this series lasts for many seasons. Meet the cast and characters in Brilliant Minds.

The Season 2 premiere of Pachinko, the cinematic Apple TV+ series based on the novel by Min Jin Lee, was absolutely worth the two-year wait.

This episode returns us almost exactly to where we left Sunja (Kim Min-ha) at the end of Season 1 in the Osaka marketplace of 1945.

But WWII isn’t the only conflict Sunja’s family will face during this century or this new season.

The Season 2 premiere features a dual timeline where Sunja deals with poverty in 1945 Osaka while her grandson Solomon Baek (Jin Ha) tries to broker a huge investment deal in 1989 Tokyo.

They are both trying to move ahead and thrive but find that their pasts are never far behind them.

Deadline shared the addition of the two actors. Fans of the anime are sure to be excited about this casting. After all, they will play two characters fans have been excited to see in the live-action from the start.

Who will Katey Sagal play in One Piece season 2?

Sagal will take on the role of Dr. Kureha, one of the most anticipated additions to season 2. At one point, Jamie Lee Curtis was potentially going to take on the role, but her schedule didn’t work out. The series films in South Africa, and Curtis is a sought-after actress in Hollywood.

That’s okay, because the series has an outstanding actress to take on the role instead.

Back in February, we heard that a thriller called Amber Alert, starring Hayden Panettiere of Heroes, Scream 4, and Scream VI and Tyler James Williams of Everybody Hates Chris, Abbott Elementary, and The Walking Dead had made its way through production and that Lionsgate had acquired the worldwide rights to the film. Now we know what Lionsgate is going to do with it. The company has announced that they’re releasing Amber Alert on VOD and in select theatres on September 27th, and today a trailer for the film has arrived online. You can check it out in the embed above.

Amber Alert was directed by Kerry Bellessa, who also wrote the screenplay with Joshua Oram. Bellessa’s previous credits include the 2022 horror film Immanence and a 2012 thriller that was also called Amber Alert… so apparently this is a reimagining of Bellessa’s previous film. The new take on Amber Alert...

When looking at the reception they’ve received for “Blue Eye Samurai,” show creators Michael Green and Amber Noizumi see one recurring bit of flattery that really delights them. “One of the best compliments we’ve gotten is people keep asking us, where did you get the rights to the books and we have to remind them there were no books. We just thought of it. It was an idea Amber and I had been thinking of for a really long time,” Green reveals to Gold Derby during our recent web chat (watch the exclusive video interview above). The idea actually stemmed from when the couple had their daughter who they nicknamed Blue Eye Samurai after the features she had due to her being of mixed race. “We sat on the idea a long time, not sure quite what to do with it until, finally, the idea of doing it...

This post contains spoilers for "Deadpool & Wolverine."

"Deadpool & Wolverine" uses the power of a well-placed nostalgic cameo and weaponizes them in the same way "Spider-Man: No Way Home" does, delivering a hugely entertaining experience that also serves as a love letter to Marvel's past. The film is a thank you to audiences that stuck with the genre through the decades, through the good movies and the bad.

From turning Deadpool and Wolverine's journey into the unapologetically gay movie Marvel keeps failing to deliver, to giving one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's most solemn actors a chance to go back to a beloved yet goofy role that culminates into a parade of profanity echoing Steve Martin's car rental scene in "Planes, Trains and Automobiles," the movie does pick its cameos and roles really well in order to deliver something outrageously funny. It's how we saw not just the...
