It’s not just me who believes that Mark Hamill is the greatest actor to portray The Joker in any medium. He really raised the bar when he first appeared as the villain on Batman: The Animated Series many years ago. Since then, other performers have added their own distinctive touches to the iconic character, with Barry Keoghan being one of them. Interestingly, Keoghan recently paid tribute to Hamill, leading to a touching exchange between them. I’d love to see Hollywood collaborate and produce a movie featuring both these talented actors as The Joker soon.

Disney has consistently been recognized for its captivating animated feature films, particularly those that are musicals. Apart from ’90s and early 2000s classics, a string of highly successful new movies have emerged in recent times, such as Frozen, Encanto, and Moana. The latter film, now available with a Disney+ subscription, is set to experience renewed interest with both an upcoming live-action remake and an animated sequel. The sequel, scheduled for November release, sees the composers drawing comparisons between the title character’s new song and her popular track “How Far I’ll Go.”, which currently ranks among the top 5 songs from Moana (thus far).

In the ongoing quest to find Hal Jordan and John Stewart for the upcoming Lanterns series in the revamped DC Universe, a fan has proposed two highly promising candidates. With Josh Brolin declining the role of Hal Jordan in the forthcoming True Detective-esque series, fans are once again engaged in discussions about who should portray these characters. Names like Glen Powell, James Marsden, Justin Hartley, John David Washington, John Boyega, and Daniel Kaluuya have been floated as potential picks for the respective roles. However, this fan has put forward a compelling case for the lead of Netflix’s smash hit action film Rebel Ridge and one of The Boys’ stars to take on these roles instead.

If plans by Warner Bros. Discovery had succeeded, the hit movie “Beetlejuice” would have been exclusively streamed on Max instead of its successful run in cinemas. According to a recent report from The New York Times, as shared by Yahoo! News, it was actually Tim Burton’s agent who ensured that the sequel to his 1988 classic would be shown in theaters, although he initially had everyone at Warner Bros. worried due to the large budget he managed to secure for the project.

In an exciting development, Tim Robinson – creator and star of Netflix’s I Think You Should Leave – will be sharing screen time with Paul Rudd in the upcoming comedy titled Friendship. This film, which has recently been picked up by A24, tells the story of a suburban family man portrayed by Robinson who finds himself dangerously smitten by his alluring new neighbor (Rudd). Known for his work on Our Flag Means Death, Andrew DeYoung directs Friendship. The film has secured a distributor following rave reviews at its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.
