John Chu’s Wicked sequel was always going to need some sort subtitle to set it apart from Part One, and it seems the studio has decided on calling it Wicked: For Good — an allusion to one of the songs we’ll all probably be humming to ourselves next year.
In a sensible world, studios would just post trailers rather than appointment viewing events that need grand proclamations about their imminent arrival. But we live here and DC Studios wants you to know that the trailer for James Gunn’s Superman is dropping this Thursday.
Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach weren’t contractually locked into making another Barbie movie after their first and a follow-up didn’t exactly seem like something Warner Bros. was rushing to make.

For reasons that only Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston, and Jane Kaczmarek know, Disney Plus has ordered four episodes of a new Malcolm in the Middle revival in which “Malcolm (Muniz) and his daughter are drawn into the family’s chaos when Hal (Cranston) and Lois (Kaczmarek) demand his presence for their 40th wedding anniversary party.”
Sony has made bad Spider-Man spinoff movies before, but Kraven the Hunter is another level of terrible.
Reality TV contestants have typically been classified as independent contractors or even volunteers rather than employees whose labor is essential to their shows’ production.
