The Cat in the Hat

Deadline also reports Bill Hader, Quinta Brunson, Bowen Yang, Xochitl Gomez, Matt Berry and Paula Pell will lend their voices to the animated Cat in the Hat movie in development at Warner Bros.


Prophet

In a recent Tweet, Rob Liefield confirmed Jake Gyllenhaal is no longer involved in the film adaptation of Prophet, but wishes “him all the best” on his Roadhouse remake.

 


Nova

During a recent interview with Comic Book, Marvel Studios’ Brad Winderbaum confirmed the company is now in “early development” on a Nova movie.

We love Nova. We are in really early development on Nova. We have a new system behind-the-scenes at Marvel Studios. We’re more like a traditional studio now. We’re developing more than we actually will produce. There are plans to develop Nova. I love Nova, too. I love Rich Rider, too. I hope it gets to the screen. The world is always chaos. There’s always things. You gotta conjure these things to make them happen but I would love to see a Nova show, one day.


Strange Academy

Relatedly, Benedict Wong stated “something’s looming” when asked if his character, Wong, was due to return to the MCU anytime soon.

I can’t really say. It’s been awhile. Something’s looming. Something’s looming.

I Know What You Did Last Summer

Meanwhile, Jennifer Love Hewitt answered “I can’t confirm but I won’t deny” when asked if she’ll return for the new I Know What You Did Last Summer.

 


Faces of Death

Barbie Ferreira additionally revealed to Collider the upcoming Faces of Death remake will concern “a content moderator” who finds some “alarming” videos online.

So in this movie, Faces of Death exists in the universe, but we’re obviously not recreating it frame-to-frame because that would be, like, animal gore, which no one wants to see that. But it’s a contemporary take on it. I play a young woman who is a content moderator and I start seeing some videos that are alarming , and then the story goes on. Faces of Death, I’ve seen it many times now in the movie and on YouTube. It’s gonna be really fun. It’s an interesting way to go about it because it’s not a ‘remake,’ per se, but it is a reimagining of it in the universe. It’s super scary, and it’s a cool, fresh take on horror movies right now. It’s scary as hell, though.


Jumanji 4

Elsewhere, Karen Gillen stated she hasn’t “heard anything” about a fourth Jumanji movie “other than the fact we will be doing it at some point.”

… I don’t know. I’m sure it’s tricky to wrangle everyone’s schedules, but I haven’t heard anything about it other than the fact that we will be doing it at some point. So we’re all so enthusiastic about it. We all love working on those films, and it’s just a matter of when.

Winnie the Pooh: Blood & Honey 2

In another new interview with Comic Book, Christopher Robin actor Scott Chambers revealed the first Blood & Honey has been retconned to be “a movie within the second movie.”

Well, it wasn’t really my idea [to return]. So basically Rhys [Frake-Waterfield] set the sequel. So the sequel, he wanted new designs and all this kind of stuff, so the first movie ends up being a movie within the second movie. And he was like, ‘Well, I’m going to need a new Christopher Robin.’ And he’s been with me on my acting journey from the beginning, and he’s always been really nice about it and positive and all that.
