Shah Rukh Khan, often referred to as King Khan, has been captivating audiences for over three decades in Hindi films. Beyond his successful Bollywood career, he is renowned for his quick wit, handsome demeanor, and intelligent insights. Moreover, SRK’s admirers appreciate his respectful treatment of women of all ages. Did you know that on the sets of Om Shanti Om, Shah Rukh Khan graciously offered a chair to author Chetan Bhagat’s mother when others didn’t think to do so?

In a twist reminiscent of comic book lore, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, who plays Ben Grimm, aka The Thing, in Fantastic Four: First Steps, confessed that he remains unaware of how his character will appear on the big screen due to the ongoing CGI work. Alongside Pedro Pascal (Mr. Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby (Sue Storm), and Joseph Quinn (The Human Torch), Moss-Bachrach is part of the talented ensemble that’s bringing Marvel’s founding family to life within the MCU. Despite having delved deep into his character by studying rocks for preparation, Moss-Bachrach, fresh off an Emmy win for his supporting role in The Bear, remains as clueless about the rock he’ll transform into as the rest of us, since the final VFX version of The Thing has yet to be shown to him.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the hit show “The West Wing”, making it an ideal time for a cast reunion, which took place at this year’s Emmy Awards ceremony. During the conversation between hosts Eugene and Dan Levy, it was mentioned that Eugene Levy had auditioned for the role of Toby Ziegler. A handful of actors from Aaron Sorkin’s politically-charged drama series gathered, stirring a sense of nostalgia among viewers who wished that Martin Sheen’s Jed Bartlet was indeed our real president.

Even with an entire Spider-Verse at our disposal, it’s hard to envision Spider-Man in the movies these days without the anchoring presence of Tom Holland. The 2015 deal to bring Spidey into the MCU fold forever changed the course of Marvel movies far beyond the new direction the web-slinger took from previous Spider-Man films, but it also effectively brought The Amazing Spider-Man series (stream both films in that run on Peacock right now), only midway through its planned four-movie run, to an unceremonious and abrupt halt. 

Among all movie categories, action stands out as seemingly endless in its potential: In any situation where other approaches falter, it offers a surefire method to captivate viewers by emphasizing motion, suspense, peril, and the implied or actual use of force. This basic yet powerful element allows an exceptional action film to manifest in a variety of ways: It might be a raucous symphony of gunfire, a spectacle of automotive chaos, a samurai-themed film brimming with intense swordplay, a nerve-wracking suspense drama that reserves violence for critical instances, or a meticulously planned dance performance where each move is a strike.
