Get a look at the return of Gru in Despicable Me 4’s first trailer. The Penguin’s mystery cast continues to grow. The Fall of Reach grows closer as Halo preps for season 2. Plus, Isla Fisher on the hopes for Wolf Like Me’s return. To me, my spoilers!

Mercy

Deadline reports Chris Pratt is attached to star in Mercy, a “big sci-fi film” at Amazon MGM Studios from director Timur Bekmambetov. Based on a script by Marco van Belle, Mercy is said to be “set in the near future when capital crime has increased. The pic follows a detective (Pratt) who is accused of a violent crime and forced to prove his innocence.”


Superman: Legacy

According to James Gunn on Threads, “none” of Superman: Legacy’s running time is dedicated to the character’s origin story.

The Penguin

Deadline reports Jared Abrahamson (The Changeling) has joined the cast of The Penguin in an undisclosed but “recurring” role.


Wolf Like Me

In conversation with THR, Isla Fisher stated she’s “cautiously optimistic” Wolf Like Me will be renewed for a third season at Peacock.

Right now, we don’t know if we’re going to get to make Wolf Like Me 3. But it’s such an exciting time to be on Peacock. And when we do make it, they really let us push the boundaries and create the series we want to. I think that, given the feedback and how entertaining and relatable and funny people have found season two, I’m cautiously optimistic that we’ll get to make a third, particularly because we ended on such a cliffhanger. It would be wonderful to work with Abe Forsythe again because he’s just so inspirational; he’s such a brilliant creator. It’s such a wonderful team, Josh and Ariel, who plays Emma, we all get along great and, honestly, there’s never been a bad moment on set on either season one or two. It’s just nice people that care. The only ego in this is the project, and it’s so fun.


Ninja Kamui

In response to a fan on Twitter, Toonami co-founder and Senior Vice President James Marco revealed the first season of Ninja Kamui will be twelve episodes long.


Halo
