Shadow and Bone Offers an Explosive Peek at Season 2

Shadow and Bone Offers an Explosive Peek at Season 2

I know, I know, we’re all still reeling from the Everything Everywhere sweep of the Oscars, but there’s other news from the weekend, too! We’ve got news on Marvel’s Phase 6 straight from Disney’s mouth, a bunch of DC CW show news, a couple of casting announcements, and some new photos from the set of Yellowjackets. Prepare your award speeches, spoilers!

A Quiet Place: Day One

In a recent Instagram post, Lupita Nyong’o confirmed Djimon Hounsou will reprise his role as “Man on Island” in A Quiet Place: Day One.

The MCU Phase 6

Speaking at Morgan Stanley’s 2023 Technology Media and Telecom Conference on Thursday (via IndieWire), Disney CEO Bob Iger stated “Phase 6″ of the MCU will chronicle the adventures of “a whole set of different Avengers.”

Marvel — there were 7,000 characters, there are a lot more stories to tell. What we have to look at at Marvel is not necessarily the volume of Marvel storytelling, but how many times we go back to the well on certain characters. Sequels typically work well for us. Do you need a third or a fourth, or is it time to turn to other characters? There’s nothing in any way inherently off in terms of the Marvel brand. I think we just have to look at what characters or stories we’re mining. And if you look at the trajectory of Marvel over the next five years, you’re going to see a lot of newness. We’re going to turn back to the Avengers franchise, but with a whole set of different Avengers.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom

In conversation with GQ, Jason Momoa implied Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will tackle themes of climate change, ocean pollution, and other environmental concerns “happening right now, but in a fantasy world.”

These superhero movies dominate our market, which I have my own thoughts on because I love cinema, but we try to put out a positive message and go on an adventure. Aquaman is the most made-fun-of superhero in the world. But it’s amazing to be able to bring awareness of what is happening to our planet. It’s not some story that’s been told over and over, [it’s a] movie about what’s happening right now but in a fantasy world.

The Exorcist

Bedrock

Deadline reports Fox is officially moving forward with Bedrock, Elizabeth Banks’ animated reboot of The Flintstones starring Stephen Root as Fred, Amy Sedaris as Wilma, Nicole Byer as Betty, Joe Lo Truglio as Barney, Manny Jacinto as Bamm-Bamm, and Banks herself as Pebbles. The primetime “adult comedy” series is said to focus on “continuing the story of the Stone Age family two decades later, with Fred on the brink of retirement and 20-something Pebbles embarking on her own career. As the Stone Age gives way to a shiny and enlightened new Bronze Age, the residents of Bedrock will find this evolution harder than a swing from Bamm-Bamm’s club.”

Sweet Tooth

Deadline also has word Christopher Sean Cooper, Jr. and Yonas Kibreab have joined the cast of Sweet Tooth’s second season as Teddy Turtle and Finn Fox, respectively. Additionally, Naledi Murray (Wendy), Neil Sandilands (General Abbot), and Marlon Williams (Johnny Abbott) have been upped to series regulars.
