Kang who? The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been searching for its next Thanos-level big bad for quite some time now and, while Plan A had to be thrown out the window following actor Jonathan Majors' allegations, Plan B appears to be rounding into form quite nicely. With Kevin Feige appearing to put all his eggs in the "Fantastic Four" basket, officially assembling a core cast made up of Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn as Marvel's First Family, it was only a matter of time before word leaked out regarding which name-brand actor would step up to take on the physically imposing role of Galactus himself, the Devourer of Worlds.
That time has finally come, as first reported by The Hollywood Reporter. We now know that Ralph Ineson has answered the call to suit up as the Fantastic Four's biggest and baddest foe in the MCU reboot of the classic property.

“Shōgun” might be creating some drama at the Emmys.
Multiple industry insiders tell Variety that FX, the heavyweight contender in the Primetime Emmy race for outstanding limited or anthology series, is considering a bold move: shifting its submission for “Shōgun” to the drama series categories this year.
This strategic repositioning hints at the likely return of the protagonist, Lord Yoshii Toranaga (played by Hiroyuki Sanada). Created by Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks, the historical epic, celebrated for its intricate storytelling and marvelous world-building achievements, will now vie for accolades against heavy hitters like Netflix’s concluding saga “The Crown,” Apple’s intense office drama “The Morning Show,” and Prime Video’s gripping action video game adaptation “Fallout.”
FX declined to comment.
“Shōgun” brings to life James Clavell’s 1975 novel set in 1600 Japan, a period dominated by daimyōs and samurais. The narrative centers on the fateful encounter between the cunning English navigator John Blackthorne,...

The highly acclaimed Game of Thrones prequel, House of the Dragon surrounding the rise and fall of the Targaryen dynasty, has made waves with its great mix of action, drama, and fantasy, which appealed to a wide range of viewers. Further, adding an element of excitement alongside standout performances from Matt Smith and Emma D’Arcy, the spin-off featured legendary stories about great houses from George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood.

Standing side by side with House Targaryen, House of the Dragon focused on another family, the Velaryons, helmed by the Sea Snake, Corlys Velaryon, and his wife, Princess Rhaenys Targaryen. Turning them central to this story, House Velaryons is distinctly portrayed as a Black family. Although people assume this was done solely for the sake of inclusivity, this deliberate creative choice is actually more than just for a diverse cast.

George R.R. Martin is famous for crafting the epic fantasy saga A Song of Ice and Fire, which extends across several novels. The Targaryens are some of the most fascinating characters from the books, with Emilia Clarke playing the role of Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones, the television adaptation of Martin’s books.
Emilia Clarke played a member of the Targaryen family in Game of Thrones.
During a blog post, Martin addressed some of the criticism aimed at his books, while also revealing a major change he wished to make to the Targaryens. The change would have not only impacted the Targaryen bloodline and their story but also made it impossible for Clarke to play her most famous role. Here is what George R.R. Martin wanted to change about the Targaryens.

A roadside diner. Not just a place to see peeling upholstery and rodent traps, and indulge in the occasional sugary slice, but a genuine icon of Americana from Edward Hopper to “Frasier.” A diner is the great, anxiety-drenched stage where most of first-time feature director Francis Galluppi’s “The Last Stop in Yuma County” takes place, and, though this thriller is packed with memorable characters, the diner itself might be its greatest.
“The Petrified Forest” meets Tarantino and the Coen brothers, “The Last Stop in Yuma County” revels in its Americana like few films in recent memory. There’s an olive green Ford Pinto, Roy Orbison’s “Crying” played from a jukebox, a sheriff with ’70s sideburns, and, of course, a couple of bank robbers on the run. There’s the oafish Travis (Nicholas Logan), who inquires about the location of the facilities with a repeated “Where’s the shitter?...

Though he’s significantly late with the Game of Thrones’ last book installment, George R.R. Martin has so far given his fantasy world’s fans enough to be dwelling on, and it’s not about a number of books he already published.
With all of their several-pages-long affluent descriptions that sometimes seem a bit extra for just being the plot’s embellishment, Martin’s books have no real competitors when it comes to their impressive volume.
Despite many fans’ complaints about the irrelevance of so many details that the author needs to make a stop at, Martin doesn’t seem to be really bothered by his readers’ critics, though he now has a solid answer to the viral question.

Paul Walter Hauser has added another project to a packed upcoming slate.
The Emmy and Golden Globe winner, who in the last few weeks alone has been tapped to play Chris Farley in Josh Gad’s biopic and has joined the cast of both “Fantastic Four” and the “Naked Gun” reboot, is to lead “Press Your Luck,” a drama-thriller based on the true story of Michael Larson.

Both set up in unbelievable fantasy worlds with some of the most extraordinary characters, and the two lores could not have been more different.

Back in November, Mark Hamill told fans at Fan Expo San Francisco that he would no longer be portraying the Clown Prince of Gotham.
Despite being considered by many to be the best Joker of all time, Hamill believed he just couldn't play the role unless it was opposite Kevin Conroy's Batman. Conroy, who voiced Bruce Wayne/Batman across several projects, passed away in November 2022.
But it seems there was a little caveat that allowed for Hamill to reprise the iconic villain role one final time in an upcoming game called MultiVersus. As it turns out, prior to his passing, Kevin Conroy also voiced Batman in the fighting game. It's perhaps for this reason that Hamill made an exception to his previous statement and returned to the role of Joker in the game.
For those unfamiliar, MultiVersus is a free-to-play platform fighter, in the same vein as Nintendo's Super Smash Bros.

Pedro Pascal has become a household name thanks to projects like Game of Thrones and The Last of Us. But how much has his net worth increased after becoming one of Hollywood’s top stars?
Pedro Pascal’s current net worth Pedro Pascal | Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Pascal is currently worth $10 million. It was a fortune that, on the surface, he seemed to accumulate relatively quickly after his breakthrough Game of Thrones role. But his rise to success was a long and slow process.
He’d already been a presence in Hollywood in the 90s, having done bit parts in small shows like Buffy and The Good Wife. There was a point where Pascal’s good friend Sarah Paulson even paid him personally to keep his acting aspirations alive.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Pascal is currently worth $10 million. It was a fortune that, on the surface, he seemed to accumulate relatively quickly after his breakthrough Game of Thrones role. But his rise to success was a long and slow process.
He’d already been a presence in Hollywood in the 90s, having done bit parts in small shows like Buffy and The Good Wife. There was a point where Pascal’s good friend Sarah Paulson even paid him personally to keep his acting aspirations alive.

Even though many great period TV shows have come out lately, half of them dip into romance in far too much detail for anyone to want to watch. If you're still traumatized by the infamous Bridgerton ladder scene, or just want to spend family night watching a period piece, check out the list below.
These 10 TV series prove that there is a way to present romance, intrigue, humor, and drama in a way that everyone can enjoy.
North and South (2004)
Although this story is romantic, there is a great emphasis on the historical background. The main character, Margaret Hale, is a southerner who is forced to move with her family to a northern city that has already been taken over by the new wave of industrialism. She must adapt to new customs and watch the world change before her eyes.

Months before she won the 2023 Best Comedy Supporting Actress Emmy for the first season of FX’s “The Bear,” it was reported that Ayo Edebiri would move up to lead for season two. According to our odds chart, she looks set to become the 12th woman to reap both supporting and lead Emmy bids (in that order) for a single role on a single series. If she takes the gold again, she will become the first to win both comedy actress awards in that order for one show.
Edebiri’s win in the supporting race at the strike-delayed 75th Emmys was preceded by victories in lead for season two at the 2024 Golden Globe and Critics Choice Awards. Having just blocked Sheryl Lee Ralph (“Abbott Elementary”) from achieving back-to-back supporting Emmy honors, she now faces the challenge of fending off two former lead champions: Jean Smart and Quinta Brunson.

Another Game of Thrones Prequel Nears With Lead Director Attached - Main Image
After House of the Dragon, another Game of Thrones spinoff is progressing. Owen Harris of Black Mirror fame has been announced as the lead director of the first season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
Some of Harris’s directorial credits include acclaimed episodes of the anthology series Be Right Back, San Junipero, and Striking Vipers.

It would not be incorrect to say that George R.R. Martin’s criticisms of Game of Thrones gave rise to the ‘dragons’ in House of the Dragon.
When David Benioff & D. B. Weiss’ Game of Thrones first hit our screens, one of the most awe-inspiring elements was undoubtedly the dragons. These mythical creatures may have won the hearts and imaginations of many fans as we watched Daenerys Targaryen raise them from tiny hatchlings to massive, fire-breathing beasts.
However, it appears that Martin, the mastermind behind the A Song of Ice and Fire book series, regrets these things the most.

He had some valid reservations about the dragons’ portrayal in the original show, which he believed improved in the prequel series, House of the Dragon. According to Martin, Game of Thrones’ dragons lacked “personality” and were all too similar to one another.

Among the many memorable characters created by Martin who were brought to life on screen, Euron Greyjoy played by Pilou Asbaek is a chilling and ruthless antagonist who has stayed in the minds of fans across the world. The actor though, had a bone to pick regarding the fate of his character in the finale, and requested Martin to rewrite the ending.

David Benioff and D. B. Weiss’ Game of Thrones transcends boundaries as a beloved historical fantasy series. However, while captivating fans with a story based on uncertainty of life, ruthless wars, and politics, the HBO show unfortunately ended up failing to justify a few deaths that weren’t even a part of the original storyline crafted by George R.R. Martin.

One such death occurred when Daenerys Targaryen’s loyal bodyguard Ser Barristan Selmy was killed off midway through season 5. The character’s tragic death occurred during an ambush by the Sons of the Harpy, which left fans of George R.R. Martin’s novels scratching their heads since it was a major diversion from the source material.

Lily Allen took a moment this week to interrogate the “nepo baby” terminology that has become widespread in its use to denote Hollywood professionals whose parents are also famous.
“Nepo babies, I think it’s quite like ‘Karen’, in the sense that it’s just a word that is basically used for women who are taking up space, and we’d rather they didn’t, and they should just go away,” the “Fuck You” singer said on her Miss Me podcast.
Allen, 39, is the daughter of British actor Keith Allen. Her brother Alfie is also an actor, best known for his work on Game of Thrones. “My brother, for instance, doesn’t get called nepo baby, and I do,” Allen continued this week.
“I actually don’t really mind the nepotism thing, it’s the ‘baby’ that annoys me,” she said. “It’s like, I’m 40 years old nearly!”

Game of Thrones was a phenomenon back when it first aired. The HBO series, based on George Rr Martin’s novels, would go on to enthrall fans for years, making fans fall in love with Westeros (not with its inhabitants though). It all seemed to be going well, until, well…, Season 8 happened. The fandom, which couldn’t contain its excitement for the culmination of the series, was not to be found after the finale of the show aired. HBO knew they had messed up, and they are now taking steps to set things right, including hiring Black Mirror director, Owen Harris.

The artist and personal assistant who claims Marilyn Manson whipped her, threw plates at her and sexually assaulted her received a trial date Tuesday for her previously dismissed lawsuit that was revived on appeal.
Ashley Walters is now scheduled to face Manson, whose legal name is Brian Warner, at a jury trial set to begin June 2, 2025, a Los Angeles County judge ruled. The judge ordered the trial after Walters’ lawyer, James Vagnini, told the court that the parties were “not successful at resolving the case” during a mediation last December.

The premiere of House of Dragons season 2, which will take place this June, is one of the most anticipated TV events of the summer. Considering how popular the first season of the show was and how many people are now rooting for one of the teams, season 2 is about to blow up social media.
What may surprise fans who haven't read the original novel on which the show is based is that a number of new characters have been added to the show. Now that two branches of the Targaryen family are ready to go to war against each other, they all need strong alliances to support their claims.
Team Green may have hit the jackpot with the powerful Alys Rivers on their side.

Some breaking news from Westeros: The Game of Thrones prequel series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has added a major talent from Black Mirror to serve as its debut season’s lead director, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Owen Harris has boarded the HBO drama as an executive producer and will also direct the first three episodes, establishing the directorial vision for the series. Harris is best known for helming two of Black Mirror‘s finest episodes — “Be Right Back” and the widely acclaimed “San Junipero.”
In addition, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms‘ episode count has now been revealed: The first season will be six episodes, making for a tighter opener than the 10-episode first seasons of Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon. The run time seems appropriate given Knight is an adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s 160-page novella The Hedge Knight rather than one of his 900-page epic novels.

As far as the Marvel Cinematic Universe is concerned, aka the MCU, there is no barrier that can justify the fans’ utter loyalty to the franchise. Unlike the Phase Four era, which alienated and divided fans more than ever, the billion-dollar franchise has always attracted the attention of critics and audiences from all over, proving its fascinating command over the IP and the power of storytelling.

Soon after Avengers: Endgame, fans wouldn’t even acknowledge the existence of Phase Four, if they could help it. But it didn’t mean the era that came before Endgame was entirely faultless.

George R.R. Martin is known for his A Song of Ice and Fire book series, which would become the legendary HBO series Game of Thrones. The writer has been in the business for decades and has contributed his storytelling to multiple franchises, including the Wild Card anthology series of novels as well as the Elden Ring games.
Martin’s writing in Game of Thrones is known for its merciless killing of fan-favorite characters. Fans at the time were surprised by an important death in each season and many times the arcs of these characters were not even complete before their demise. The author mentioned that when he was younger, he loved The Avengers #9 comics because of one character’s death.
