Even if director Gerard Johnstone’s relatively low-budget horror M3gan hadn’t made $45 million at the box office this past weekend, the movie’s premise about a murderous doll powered by artificial intelligence already lent itself to an easy sequel. M3gan did make a big splash at theaters, though, and Deadline reports that Universal is already working on a sequel that’s described as being “in early development.”
Netflix initially renewed Shion Takeuchi’s Inside Job adult animated series for a second season shortly after the first half of its first season debuted back in the fall of 2021. Between Netflix’s ordering more episodes, and the second batch of episodes ending on something of a cliffhanger, it seemed very much like the streamer was serious about keeping Inside Job going.
But over the weekend, Takeuchi took to her Twitter account to announce that, unfortunately, Inside Job’s going the way of Blockbuster, 1899, and GLOW.
Despite Netflix’s Wednesday series being a surprise hit, there was no guarantee that the streamer was going to bring the series back — especially given its penchant for canceling shows. But in Wednesday’s case, the future’s looking bright as Netflix has just announced its plans for a season two.
Unsurprisingly, the video doesn’t detail any of the next season’s plot or when it might air. But in a statement published to Netflix’s Tudum blog, Wednesday co-showrunners Miles Millar and Alfred Gough said they “can’t wait to dive headfirst into another season and explore the kooky, spooky world of Nevermore.”
M3gan is even more ridiculous than the trailers let on, but it’s also a surprisingly solid horror comedy.
Marvel Snap can’t quite write comic book stories, but it can give you the skeleton of one that’s perfect for fleshing out with your imagination.
It’s wild to think about, but Goncharov and Batgirl were arguably some of 2022’s most important and definitive movies.
If you’d asked just a few weeks ago what the future held for Warner Bros. Discovery’s live-action DC superhero movies, a reasonable person might have told you to expect to see more of Henry Cavill’s Superman and Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam beating the stuffing out of one another.
But that’s all changed under James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DC Studios which — after sidelining Cavill’s Man of Steel in favor of a younger take on the character — is now planning to mostly retire the Rock’s magical man in black.
In a surprisingly optimistic post to his Twitter account this evening, the Rock announced that after a recent meeting with Gunn, it’s been decided that his Black Adam “will not be in [DC Studios’] first chapter of storytelling,” as the studio focuses on pursuing Gunn’s new vision for the studio’s future.
Johnson elaborated saying that while his take on the character will be taking a step back for the time being, his Seven Bucks production company is still committed to exploring Black Adam projects involving him “in future DC multiverse chapters,” which feels like it could mean anything from a DC League of Super-Pets follow-up to a small cameo in future films.
