Frankie Freako

It’s a race against time as he must defeat the rambunctious ruffians and clean up their trail of destruction before his wife returns from her weekend work trip, all while going on an unexpected journey of self-discovery.” Conor Sweeney, Adam Brooks and Kristy Wordsworth are attached to star.
Deadpool 3
In conversation with Empire, Emma Corrin stated their mysterious villain role in Deadpool 3 satisfies “an itch [they] want to scratch. ”
I feel really excited to play a villain. I haven’t done that, and it’s an itch I want to scratch. I’d heard about the project but, classic Marvel, they couldn’t tell me anything about it. Absolutely nothing. Zilch. So I met him being like, ‘I don’t know what this is about.’
Cocaine Bear 2
Elizabeth Banks’ also stated she would “take” the “opportunity” to direct a sequel to Cocaine Bear in a new interview with Rolling Stone.
I loved how subversive, crazy, silly and funny it was. I loved surprising people with the cast. I don’t think anybody was expecting Margot Martindale, who’s 70 years old, to shoot that kid. We had a lot of fun, and if I got the opportunity to surprise the audience and delight myself again, I would take it. I’ve been very fortunate to work across a lot of genres and things that appeal to me. Cocaine Bear also came to me during the pandemic. We were all locked away, and I loved the sense of fun inside of it. It was what I wanted to see. And it had this message about mankind’s culpability in nature’s demise. It spoke to me on a lot of levels.
