There's a new Star Wars spinoff in development, and the executive producer revealed why this story in particular is coming to Disney+ after making some very tough decisions. The Star Wars franchise has spawned numerous films and TV shows over the years.

The launch of Disney+ in 2019 gave producers and writers the freedom to create even more stories than fans wouldn't have seen otherwise.

The streaming service launched live-action shows like The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Andor, Ahsoka, The Acolyte and Skeleton Crew. The franchise has also debuted multiple animated series, including The Bad Batch, Star Wars: Visions, Star Wars Tales and Young Jedi Adventures, as...

In the Star Warsuniverse, one of the most well-known symbols is the lightsaber. Now, a lucky bidder has taken home one of the iconic red lightsabers used in the original Star Wars movies.

Propstore, which specializes in selling screen-used film props, recently auctioned off a lightsaber used by Darth Vader in two of the three original trilogy films. According to Deadline, the prop sold for a record $3.6 million at Propstore’s recent auction. The saber sold for $2.9 million plus a $700,000 buyer's premium paid to the auction house.

The saber sold at auction was used by Darth Vader in duels in the films The Empire Strikes Back (1980)and The Return of...

As production continues on DC Studios' Clayface in Liverpool, England, these latest photos and video from the set have left people wondering what exactly could be going on in the scenes being filmed.

The video shows star Tom Rhys Harries out and about in Gotham's fair city as Matt Hagen, dancing on the steps of the courthouse to Fred Astaire's rendition of "The Way You Look Tonight" from the movie Swing Time. A large spotlight is shining directly on the pillars, and Harries can be seen making shadow puppets.

A cardboard cutout of the original Nosferatu was also spotted, with the vampire's unmistakable silhouette cast on the building.

The Conjuring: Last Rites is projected to give Warner Bros. another number one movie during its opening weekend, and scare some life back into the box office following some disappointing Labor Day returns.

The fourth film in the mainline franchise, Last Rites sees Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga return as the Warrens in what is being billed as the final entry in theConjuringUniverse, which also includes spinoffs such as the Nun and Annabelle films. The Conjuring movies have been a consistently profitable franchise for New Line Cinema and Warner Bros., to put it mildly; like a lot of horror movies, they don't require a significant budget to produce, but tend to open big.

We've seen Tom Rhys Harries as Matt Hagen under bandages and a mask, and these latest photos from the Liverpool set of Clayface give us a closer look at the bloody and broken face of the man who will ultimately transform into the shape-shifting Batman villain.

It looks like the Gotham City gangster, believed to be Jimmy "Red" McCoy (possibly on orders from Roland Daggett), really did a number on Hagen's face.

How will Hagen go from what we see below to the monstrous Clayface?

The story will reportedly "center on an ascending actor whose face is disfigured by a gangster. As a last resort, the actor turns to...

As filming continues on the Liverpool set of DC Studios' Clayface, these latest photos and video might just reveal a first look at the movie's main villain - though we have no idea who he is or which actor is playing him!

Previous set photos highlighted the cover of the Gotham Gazette, with the headline informing us that Jimmy "Red" McCoy was under investigation. This low-level Batman baddie always seemed unlikely to be the main antagonist, but the bald, well-dressed fella seen walking down the courtroom steps with a lady on his arm could be.

According to Nexus Point News writer Apocalyptic Horseman, some "big-names" were offered this role, but he doesn't recognize this actor,...

Did Andor resonate with Star Wars fans because it didn't emphasize Force users or would it have fared as well if it featured Jedi and Sith characters in the main cast?

That's somewhat of a hot debate among the Star Wars fandom as those in support of the former notion also cite The Mandalorian as another prime example.

Lucasfilm also seems to be leaning towards that notion as its next Star Wars film with Ryan Gosling is also said to eschew the traditional Jedi/Sith conflict.

No matter which side of the argument you fall on, Andor is one of the most decorated and well-received Star Wars projects of the modern era,...

It's day two of filming on DC Studios' Clayface, and these latest photos and video from the Liverpool set give us a first look at one of the movie's others lead actors shooting his scenes.

Max Minghella plays John, a Gotham City detective who becomes suspicious of his fiancé Caitlin's relationship with Matt Hagen (Tom Rhys Harries).

Naomi Ackie plays Caitlin Bates, a biotech CEO who treats Matt Hagen (Tom Rhys Harries) after he's left disfigured by a mobster. Despite what some social media accounts are reporting, Ackie is not the actress Minghella is speaking to in these shots.

The photos also reveal that this film will use the...

Solo: A Star Wars Story star Alden Ehrenreich reveals what it would take for him to return as a young Han Solo. Directed by Ron Howard, the 2018 Star Wars prequel movie chronicles Han's origins as a smuggler and how he met figures like Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian.

Solo was a notable disappointment critically and commercially, grossing just $392 million worldwide. Ehrenreich has gone on to appear in other notable films, including the acclaimed Oppenheimer (2023) and this summer's Weapons (2025), but he has not yet returned as the legendary Star Wars smuggler.

During a recent interview with Collider, Ehrenreich reflects on his time as Han Solo, speaking about how important it is to work in a supportive environment,...

Filming is now officially underway on DC Studios' Clayface, and we have some new photos and a video from the Liverpool set.

Possible plot spoilers follow.

The video shows a crowd gathered outside the entrance to Gotham General, as a patient on a stretcher is rushed inside. One of the photos also features a man with bandages around his head, who may or may not be Tom Rhys Harries (or his stand-in) as Matt Hagen.

Even if it's a different character altogether, there's a good chance this scene focuses on Hagen being attended to after suffering the "accident" that will ultimately lead to his Clayface transformation.

Robert Downey Jr. threatened to walk out of Avengers: Doomsday because the script was too “female focused.” Allegedly. According to a wild new Marvel rumor.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is buzzing with a bombshell rumor: Robert Downey Jr., set to dominate as Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday, reportedly threatened to ditch his $200 million Disney deal over a script deemed “heavily female.”

This unverified claim has set social media and fan forums ablaze, sparking debates about Rdj’s return, the Multiverse Saga’s direction, and Marvel’s high-stakes future. Let’s dive into the rumor’s origins, its credibility, and how it ties into the epic plans for Doomsday and Secret Wars,...

Though cameras don't seem to be rolling just yet, production crews are in the process of setting up to begin shooting DC Studios' Clayface movie in Liverpool, England, and these latest set photos come with some intriguing first-looks.

The cover of the Gotham Gazette reveals that Jimmy "Red" McCoy will appear in the movie. McCoy was a low-level Batman baddie back in the day, and is highly unlikely to be the main villain. Nexus Point News' Apocalyptic Horseman believes Clayface's big bad will be a more recognizable DC Comics mob boss, with a bigger-name actor in the role.

The McCoy story is also highlighted on the cover of the Gotham Herald,...

Lucasfilm’s next big galaxy adventure is Star Wars: Starfighter, and it’s already shaping up to be a powerhouse with its cast announcements. The Shawn Levy-led project was unveiled at the Star Wars celebration in Tokyo and is set to be a stand-alone project (via Deadline).

So, it’s not a sequel, or a prequel, but a new adventure altogether, which begins five years after the events of Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker. We’ll see new heroes, villains, and conflicts in the saga with some of the most talented actors playing distinctive roles in Star Wars: Starfighter.

Here are the ones that we know about so far!

The Star Wars universe has enthralled the audience for several decades now. From the initial movies to the multiple spinoffs, the universe (and its fanbase) keep on expanding. The excitement for the franchise continues with new worlds and sequels coming into the picture. Earlier this year, Lucasfilm announced a brand new Star Wars movie starring Ryan Gosling in the lead. Now, they have released the full cast details as well.

Ryan Gosling was the confirmed cast member in Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: Starfighter. On August 28, the production label dropped the first look for...

It has been fifteen years since the release of Tron: Legacy, and fans are finally getting a follow-up in the form of Tron: Ares. While not the sequel some fans might have hoped for, as stars Garrett Hedlund and Olivia Wilde are not returning, Ares is a loose continuation. That said, screenwriter David Digilio was hired to write a direct follow-up to Legacy back in 2011. He even maintains a story by credit on Ares, as he created the titular character, originally a villain, but now the protagonist of the new film.

Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Digilio spoke about the long road to getting a third Tron movie to the big screen.

Star Wars: Starfighter, from director Shawn Levy and starring Ryan Gosling, was announced several months ago and even featured prominently at this year’s Star Wars Celebration. And, according to a post on Star Wars’ official website today, Star Wars: Starfighter has begun production—meaning it is actually moving forward.

Levy shares the following statement along with the new update:

“I feel a profound sense of excitement and honor as we begin production on Star Wars: Starfighter. From the day Kathleen Kennedy called me up, inviting me to develop an original adventure in this incredible Star Wars galaxy, this experience has been a dream come true, creatively and personally.

Lucasfilm confirmed production is underway on the standalone Star Wars film, Star Wars: Starfighter. And with filming getting underway, Lucasfilm announced the actors who will be starring alongside three-time Oscar nominee Ryan Gosling (Barbie) in the project.

Six-time Oscar nominee Amy Adams (Disenchanted), Matt Smith (House of the Dragon), Flynn Gray (Borderline), Mia Goth (the X films), Aaron Pierre (Genius), Simon Bird (Everyone Else Burns), Jamael Westman (Good Grief), and Daniel Ings (The Gentlemen) have signed on to the Star Wars film, which will focus on a time period that hasn’t been seen...

Ryan Gosling’s Star Wars: Starfighter just got even bigger with the casting of Amy Adams and Aaron Pierre, who’ve now officially joined the ensemble of Shawn Levy’s highly anticipated movie (via Deadline).

Adams is no stranger to blockbuster franchises and has previously starred as Lois Lane in three Dceu films: Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Justice League. Pierre has also been a part of DC and acted in Krypton as Dev-Em. The addition of these two actors has added more star power to the upcoming feature.

Now, let’s look at other details about Star Wars: Starfighter, which are all equally exciting.

The next Star Wars movie has begun filming. Star Wars: Starfight has started production, and to mark the occasion, Lucasfilm has released a first-look image as well as the full cast list for the movie.

The first-look image of Starfighter, which can be viewed below, features lead star Ryan Gosling and newcomer Flynn Gray, who is believed to be playing the nephew of Gosling's character. The rest of the confirmed cast includes the previously announced Mia Goth (MaXXXine) as well as Matt Smith (House of the Dragon), Aaron Pierre (Lanterns), Simon Bird (The Inbetweeners), Jamael Westman (Hamilton), Daniel Ings (Lovesick), and Amy Adams (Man of Steel). Character details remain under wraps,...

The new Star Wars movie is getting some serious star power.

Star Wars: Starfighter, due to hit theaters on May 28, 2027, just got even more stars added to the cast, which already includes Ryan Gosling.

The movie is described as “a standalone film not connected to previous Star Wars movies or characters from the so-called Skywalker Saga, the films revolving around Luke Skywalker and his father, Anakin,” per THR.

It takes place about five years after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

Production began on the film in the United Kingdom on Thursday (August 28), which led to producers Lucasfilm spilling the details about the cast.

Find out who is joining the cast…...

It's official: Production on the next "Star Wars" movie is formally underway.

The Force is strong this Thursday for Shawn Levy’s upcoming Star Wars film, Star Wars: Starfighter, as the project’s primary cast is ready to be revealed. According to reports, Ryan Gosling leads a star-studded lineup, which includes Flynn Gray, Matt Smith, Mia Goth, Aaron Pierre, Simon Bird, Jamael Westman, Daniel Ings, and Amy Adams.

“I feel a profound sense of excitement and honor as we begin production on Star Wars: Starfighter,” says Star Wars: Starfighter helmer Shawn Levy. “From the day Kathy Kennedy called me up, inviting me to develop an original adventure in this incredible Star Wars galaxy, this experience has been a dream come true, creatively and personally.

Shawn Levy’s “Star Wars: Starfighter,” the new Lucasfilm project starring Ryan Gosling, has started production.

To celebrate, the first photo from the film was shared (see above) and the full cast has been announced. In addition to Gosling, Flynn Gray, Matt Smith, Mia Goth, Aaron Pierre, Simon Bird, Jamael Westman, Daniel Ings and Amy Adams are all set to star.

“I feel a profound sense of excitement and honor as we begin production on ‘Star Wars: Starfighter,’” Levy said in a Thursday statement. “From the day Kathy Kennedy called me up, inviting me to develop an original adventure in this incredible ‘Star Wars’ galaxy, this experience has been a dream come true,...

“Star Wars: Starfighter” has jumped into lightspeed. Director Shawn Levy and star Ryan Gosling have begun production in the U.K. on Lucasfilm’s next entry in the space saga, with Amy Adams, Aaron Pierre (“Rebel Ridge”), Flynn Gray (“Wednesday”), Simon Bird (“The Inbetweeners”), Jamael Westman (“Good Grief”) and Daniel Ings (“The Gentlemen”) joining the cast. They join Matt Smith and Mia Goth on the film, which is written by Jonathan Tropper (“The Adam Project”). Levy is producing with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy.

To commemorate the start of filming, Lucasfilm released a first look image of Gosling and Gray posing in front of what appears to be a landspeeder that resembles the one used by Luke Skywalker in 1977’s “Star Wars: A New Hope.” According to the release from Lucasfilm, however, “Starfighter” will be “an entirely original story set in a period of time never before explored in ‘Star Wars....

Flynn Gray, Matt Smith, Mia Goth, Aaron Pierre, Simon Bird, Jamael Westman, Daniel Ings and Amy Adams have officially been set to join Ryan Gosling in Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: Starfighter. Shawn Levy is directing the pic, which was penned by Jonathan Tropper.

“I feel a profound sense of excitement and honor as we begin production on Star Wars: Starfighter,” Levy said Thursday, when the casting news was revealed on Starwars.com, along with the news that production has begun in the UK.

The post also included a first look at the set, with Gosling and Gray leaning and sitting, respectively, on what looks to be a landspeeder. See it above.

The latest Star Wars movie, Star Wars: Starfighter, began rolling cameras in the United Kingdom Thursday, with Lucasfilm marking the occassion by unveiling the full cast.

Flynn Gray, Aaron Pierre, Simon Bird, Jamael Westman, Daniel Ings, and Amy Adams are the new additions on the call sheet for the Lucasfilm feature, which is being directed by Shawn Levy and stars Ryan Gosling. Mia Goth and Matt Smith were already revealed to be in the cast, playing villains.

“I feel a profound sense of excitement and honor as we begin production on Star Wars: Starfighter,” said Levy in a statement. “From the day Kathy Kennedy called me up, inviting me to develop an original adventure in this incredible Star Wars galaxy, this experience has been a dream come true, creatively and personally. Star Wars shaped my sense of what story can do, how characters and cinematic moments can live with us forever.

Matt Smith is once again linked to Star Wars, but this time he’s being careful about not saying much, at this point at least. At the New York premiere of Caught Stealing, Entertainment Tonight caught up with him for a quick chat.

Of course, Smith was asked about House of the Dragon season 3, as well as the upcoming Star Wars: Starfighter. Earlier this month, it was reported that he would be joining the cast alongside already-announced Ryan Gosling and Mia Goth. It's believed Smith will play a villain.

Matt Smith jokes about Star Wars role

When asked how it feels to be taking on such a big franchise such as Star Wars,...

Star Wars icon Ewan McGregor has given a seemingly positive update on his franchise future. With a strong body of work early in his career, including iconic British movies like Trainspotting, McGregor achieved global fame when he took the role of young Obi-Wan Kenobi in the first Star Wars prequel movie, Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace.

McGregor reprised the role for two more sequels, Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, and Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. In 2022, 17 years after Revenge of the Sith, McGregor returned to his most iconic role in the miniseries Obi-Wan Kenobi, and now McGregor has discussed...

After being cut from the sequel trilogy in the late 2010s, one major actor has finally been recast in a new Star Wars role. House of the Dragon and Doctor Who star Matt Smith has been confirmed to have joined Shawn Levy's upcoming Star Wars: Starfighter movie, alongside fellow stars Ryan Gosling and Mia Goth (who is also supposedly set to play a role in Marvel Studios' Blade). 

However, this is not the first time Smith has been cast in a Star Wars project. The former Morbius star was previously set to play an undisclosed role in Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker, but was ultimately cut.

A new Audible story, set after Star Wars: The Last Jedi, will tell the first new Rey story in six years. The sequel trilogy era has been largely unexplored since Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker's release in 2019, with recent comics finally telling Kylo Ren's story between The Last Jedi and his death. Now, Rey is about to get the same treatment.

Lucasfilm Press has announced a new Star Wars audiobook, "The Jaws of Jakku," which will release on Audible on October 9. Written by Cavan Scott and featuring narration by Helen Sadler, it's set in the immediate aftermath of The Last Jedi. Here's the official synopsis:

Following the events of The Last Jedi,...

Oscar Isaac has revealed what it would take for him to return to Star Wars as Poe Dameron. Although the Star Wars sequel trilogy proved divisive, there's no denying that it introduced compelling new characters for the next generation, some of whom never got the chance to live up to their full potential.

One such character is Oscar Isaac's Poe Dameron, a fiercely talented Resistance pilot with a mysterious past and a close relationship with General Leia Organa. After Poe's misguided mutiny in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the character was somewhat sidelined in the Star Wars sequel trilogy's final installment, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, as the focus shifted to Rey,...

For years, Oscar Isaac has made it clear he wasn’t eager to revisit a galaxy far, far away. After wrapping the sequel trilogy in 2019’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the actor has insisted that his days of piloting an X-wing were firmly behind him. Yet in a new interview, Isaac seems to have had a change of heart, and has left the door of possibility cracked open for the future. When asked directly about reprising his role as the Resistance pilot Poe Dameron, Isaac leaned into humor, borrowing from The Simpsons with a high-pitched quip: “I’m a Star Wars.” Then, more earnestly, he followed his comments with a stance-reversing admission: “Yeah,...

Oscar Isaac is open to playing Poe Dameron again. The Star Wars actor recently outlined what it would take for him to consider returning to a galaxy far, far away as the fan-favorite character.

In a joint interview for Variety with his Frankenstein co-star Jacob Elordi, Isaac addressed a potential return to the Star Wars galaxy, jokingly stating (in a high-pitched child's voice), "I'm a Star Wars," a line he borrowed from The Simpsons. The actor then got serious, admitting that he's not opposed to a Star Wars return, but that he'd only do it "if there was something good to do with that." The actor added that he only...

Despite now encompassing more movies than the original "Jurassic Park" film trilogy, the "Jurassic World" franchise hasn't been quite as successful at establishing memorable characters. That's no shade to Chris Pratt or Bryce Dallas Howard, who do a fine job playing Owen Grady and Claire Dearing through the first three "Jurassic World" movies. It's simply true that those characters and the films' supporting players haven't entered the cinematic pantheon the way that Alan Grant (Sam Neill), Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), and John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) have. Need proof? Just look at how many classic "Jurassic Park" characters got brought back over the course of the initial "Jurassic World" trilogy, as if the newcomers in those movies couldn't carry the weight of their blockbuster budgets on their own.

To be sure, though, there have been some standout supporting performances in these films, most of them from 2015's "Jurassic World.

One of the biggest cautionary tales of the last decade regarding blockbuster filmmaking is the "Star Wars" Sequel Trilogy. Undoubtedly, the most polarizing franchise films of the 2010s, Episodes VII, VIII, and IX, remain a major point of contention for fans of George Lucas' galaxy far, far away. Many would agree that, as individual films, the sequels may have their standout moments, but do not work cohesively as a three-film story due to a lack of planning amongst the creatives involved.

Basically, the "Star Wars" Sequel Trilogy was a game of telephone with each entry, with J.J. Abrams setting up the foundation, only for Rian Johnson to answer back with "The Last Jedi" -- arguably the most divisive blockbuster of the century so far. Although Johnson was originally set to pass the torch to Colin Trevorrow, the "Jurassic World" director dropped out due to creative differences, which led to Abrams'...

John Boyega has previously described how disappointed he was with Finn's arc in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Now, Boyega has spoken about where he expected Finn's storyline to go in the sequels.

Appearing at Fan Expo Boston, via Screen Rant, he explained he expected Finn and Rey to end up enemies eventually like Obi-Wan and Anakin, saying, “I think I assumed [Finn] was Force-sensitive from The Force Awakens script or at least by the time I got to the end of The Force Awakens script. I thought they were planning dual Jedis. I actually thought that they would Obi-Wan and Darth Vader us a bit. That we would turn against each other or something along those lines."

Finn ended up having storylines that took him away from Rey, while Rey trained with Luke Skywalker and ended up battling Palpatine. The final movie of the sequel trilogy, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,...

De acuerdo con Deadline, Matt Smith (La casa del dragón) se ha unido al reparto de la nueva película Star Wars: Starfighter, dirigida por Shawn Levy.

No es la primera vez que Smith coquetea con la saga. Quedó a las puertas de participar en Star Wars: Episodio IX – El ascenso de Skywalker, pero ahora su incorporación a la saga galáctica se materializa en un rol antagónico. Además, según los rumores difundidos por Jeff Sneider, podría encarnar a un general militar sin conexión con la Fuerza.

The Star Wars film franchise is exploring new frontiers with its upcoming film to be directed by Shawn Levy. The movie, tentatively titled Star Wars: Starfighter, has revealed much of its cast already and is set to release sometime in 2027.

Exact details of the film’s plot and characters are as of yet unknown, aside from the fact that it is set in the canon of Disney’s sequel trilogy of films, after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Per reporting from Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter, the cast members confirmed for the film so far include Ryan Gosling in the lead role, and Matt Smith and Mia Goth being cast as villains.

Star Wars: Starfighter Stars Ryan Gosling, Matt Smith, And Mia Goth

Star Wars: Starfighter features a lineup of accomplished actors with many high-profile roles under their belt.

Update: Though the deal hasn't closed just yet, Deadline has confirmed that Minghella is in talks. THR notes that he will play "a Gotham City police detective who is dating the scientist [Naomi Ackie]."

Original story follows.

Following the recent news that Naomi Ackie is in talks to join the cast of DC Studios' Clayface movie, we're hearing that Max Minghella is also being eyed for a key role.

According to Nexus Point News, Minghella would play a character named John, "a detective and fiancé to Caitlin Bates, who’s suspicious of his fiancée’s relationship with Matt Hagen/Clayface."

We're not sure if Minghella is actually in negotiations as of yet, but Ackie is now believed to have been officially offered the role of Bates, while Tom Rhys Harries will play Hagen.

Though this is just a rumor for now, the source has been scooping the trades with major...

Star Wars star John Boyega explains what he expected from Finn's story, and it's very different from what audiences ended up getting. Released in 2015, Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens marked a new era for the franchise, introducing a host of new characters alongside some familiar favorites.

Boyega's Finn, a defecting stormtrooper, joins forces with Daisy Ridley's Rey and Oscar Isaac's Poe in The Force Awakens, eventually becoming a crucial ally in the fight against Adam Driver's Kylo Ren. Though there were teases in the 2015 film that Finn is Force-sensitive, this didn't play a big role in the subsequent movies, and his arc remains divisive.

During a recent interview with ScreenRant's Liz Declan at Fan Expo Boston, Boyega reveals that he thought Finn would have a more Jedi-oriented story following The Force Awakens. The actor explains that he thought the teases featured in...

As Hayden Christensen prepares for his return in Ahsoka season 2, he is considering another return to Star Wars. After playing Anakin Skywalker in the prequel trilogy from 2002 to 2005, Christensen reappeared on-screen in Ahsoka season 1, haunting his Padawan from beyond the grave, and he is set to reappear in the next season.

Having been involved in the Star Wars universe for over 20 years, Christensen has become a critical star of the franchise. His return in Ahsoka was surprising, though it came after cameos in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and in Obi-Wan Kenobi. While he will appear in Ahsoka season 2, Disney has not announced another opportunity for the actor.

While speaking at a panel at Fan Expo Boston for which Screen Rant was in attendance, Christensen expressed his excitement about the prospect of reprising his role as Anakin Skywalker once more. The decision is not Christensen's to make, as it...

Liam Neeson Secures Biggest Hit Since 2020, Smashes $38.2M Worldwide (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Liam Neeson has scored his biggest box office win in more than half a decade with the reboot of The Naked Gun. He stepped into the role once made famous by Leslie Nielsen and turned it into another career milestone.

The film, which earned an extra $1.7 million on Wednesday in the US, has now taken in $38.2 million worldwide after only six days in theaters. The total pushes it past the $32.6 million made by Honest Thief in 2020, making it Neeson’s highest-grossing film of the decade.

The Naked Gun Reboot Crosses $38.2 Million in Less Than a Week

Of The Naked Gun’s total, $23.1 million has come from domestic audiences and $15 million from overseas markets (per Box Office Mojo). It is a sharp contrast to his recent titles like Absolution ($4m), In the Land of Saints and Sinners ($3.6m), and...

Gina Carano played Cara Dune in the first two seasons of The Mandalorian, but after making a few controversial statements, Disney ditched the actress, prompting her to file a lawsuit against the studio alleging wrongful termination and discrimination. The trial was due to start in September, but that won’t happen as Lucasfilm and the Walt Disney Company have reached a mutual agreement in their legal dispute with the actress.

“The Walt Disney Company and Lucasfilm are pleased to announce that we have reached an agreement with Gina Carano to resolve the issues in her pending lawsuit against the companies,” reads a statement from the studios. “Ms. Carano was always well respected by her directors, co-stars, and staff, and she worked hard to perfect her craft while treating her colleagues with kindness and respect. With this lawsuit concluded, we look forward to identifying opportunities to work together with Ms. Carano in the near future.

A couple of days ago, the news broke that Matt Smith had been cast in a villainous role in Shawn Levy's Star Wars: Starfighter. The actor was eyed to play a young Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, prompting many fans to wonder whether Darth Sidious might return...again.

Fortunately, Lucasfilm isn't heading in that direction and, according to Jeff Sneider's latest newsletter (via SFFGazette.com), Smith's character will be neither a Sith nor a Dark Side Force user. Instead, he'll have a military background.

"I'm told that the Force won’t be with Smith, who is playing some kind of military general in the film, which takes place five years after the events of Star Wars: Episode IX — The Rise of Skywalker," the insider writes.

Blade star Mia Goth is also expected to play one of the movie's villains, and it wouldn't be...

After becoming the actor's biggest box office opening in over ten years, The Naked Gun reboot has helped Hollywood veteran Liam Neeson to another huge milestone, superbly taking the comedic baton over from the late great Leslie Nielsen. Officially, thanks to another $2.7 million domestically on the most recent Tuesday, The Naked Gun has surpassed the $32.6 million earned by 2020's Honest Thief to become the actor's highest-grossing movie of the decade so far.

So far, from just six days in theaters, The Naked Gun has earned an impressive $32.9 million, split between a domestic haul of $21.4 million and a further $11.4 million from overseas markets. Neeson's recent filmography doesn't boast much financial success, with the likes of 2024's Absolution, 2023's In the Land of Saints and Sinners, and Marlowe from the same year all struggling to even hit $10 million worldwide. In fact, the last time Neeson saw huge blockbuster success was as part...

MobLand stars Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren are trading organized crime for cold-case murders in Netflix's new mystery comedy, The Thursday Murder Club.Based on the best-selling debut novel by Richard Osman, the upcoming adaptation looks to bring the twist-filled book to life, and it already looks like a treat for fans of the instantly-recognizable cast.

Netflix has dropped an all-new trailer for The Thursday Murder Club, which features Brosnan, Mirren, Ben Kingsley and Celia Imri putting their detective hats on to solve cold-case murders. However, when someone dies at their doorstep, it is up to their mystery-solving club to investigate the possible murder. Brosnan plays an ex-union activist named Ron Ritchie, who, in the book, is a farcry from the generally suave roles played by the former James Bond actor. Mirren is Elizabeth Best, an ex-spy, while Kingsley plays an ex-psychiatrist named Ibrahim Arif. Rounding out the group is x-nurse Joyce Meadowcroft,...

You may have heard that actor Matt Smith has recently been cast as a villain in Star Wars: Starfighter, starring opposite Ryan Gosling and Mia Goth. Starfighter will be released on May 28, 2027. This marks the second theatrical release after Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, following director Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian and Grogu, which is planned for May 22, 2026.
