Theo James made his acting debut in 2010 in the television series A Passionate Woman, but it wasn't until the role of Four/ Tobias in the The Divergent Series trilogy in 2014 that he received worldwide recognition. Since then, he has picked a series of interesting roles, including horror comedy in the latest Stephen King adaptation, The Monkey.

However, there are still plenty of genres for James to explore in the future. For example, he hasn't made his debut in the superhero world, and, in a new interview with Cbr to promote The Monkey, he teased he wouldn't rule that out. When speaking about the possibilities, he even chose a surprising character.

When you think of werewolves, your mind probably goes straight to foggy forests and full moons—but let’s not forget the other perfect backdrop for a beastly horror story: snow. Wintery werewolf movies are quite the niche but still an oh-so-satisfying subgenre. One where the frigid chill of the season cranks up the tension, and the isolation of a snowy landscape creates the perfect hunting ground for our furry friends.

Werewolves in the snow are pure nightmare fuel. There’s something about the mix of primal creatures and icy environments that feels so right. Maybe it’s the visual of blood staining freshly fallen snow, or the way a howling wind seems to mimic the call of a wolf. Whatever it is, winter werewolf movies hit a little differently, offering both atmospheric dread and some ferocious fun.

So, whether you’re here for gothic fairy tales, dark comedies, or...

Prime Video has launched the first official trailer for Kate Beckinsale's next kickass actioner Canary Black, which will see the former Underworld star play a top CIA operative that is forced to go rogue to save her kidnapped husband while simultanously working to prevent the start of World War 3.

The full synopsis reads, "A top CIA operative, Avery Graves, is blackmailed by terrorists into betraying her own country to save her kidnapped husband. Cut off from her team, she turns to her underworld contacts to survive and help locate the coveted intelligence that the kidnappers want.

The Vampire Diaries was an incredibly successful series on The CW. Running for eight seasons from 2009 to 2017, the series followed Elena Gilbert and the vampire brothers, Stefan and Damon Salvatore. The series was massively popular during its run, spawning two successful spin-offs and cementing itself as a classic entry in the teen drama genre.

The Vampire Diaries was released at just the right time, capitalizing on the success of the Twilight franchise, following the vampire romance genre. With the series ending, many fans of the vampire romance genre are looking for something new to fill the void left by Vampire Diaries, and fortunately, there are plenty of films and TV series to choose from.

The Gentlemen's Theo James is playing a double role in Osgood Perkins' Stephen King adaptation The Monkey, as twin brothers Hal and Bill. Sweet Tooth's Christian Convery will be playing the younger versions of Hal and Bill. The movie's supporting cast features other familiar faces including Elijah Wood and Tatiana Maslany.

The cast of the Stephen King adaptation The Monkey is star-studded. The movie, which wrapped principal photography in March 2024, is Osgood Perkins' follow-up collaboration with distributor Neon after the smash success Longlegs, the serial killer thriller starring Maika Monroe and Nicolas Cage that grossed $92.8 million against a budget of roughly $10 million. The Monkey is based on the King short story of the same name, which was published in the magazine Gallery in 1980 and was later collected in the book Skeleton Crew in 1985 alongside "The Mist" and "The Raft," which were also adapted to the screen.

Exclusive: Gregg Sulkin (Runaways), William Miller (The 100) and Melina Matthews (Warrior Nun) have signed on for roles in the spider thriller Arachnid marking the debut feature from Badlands, the new indie genre label from Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee’s Thunder Road, longtime Screen Gems exec Scott Strauss, and Andrew Schwartzberg and Jon Shiffman’s Renegade Capital, on which we were first to report.

As previously announced, Matilda Lutz also stars in the film, shooting overseas, which Ángel Gómez Hernández (Voces) is directing from a script by Jayson Rothwell (Underworld: Blood Wars).

In Arachnid, a man returns from a trip unwittingly harboring a new breed of arachnid. Subsequently, the people in an apartment block are quarantined and left to fend for themselves against a plague of venomous spiders.

Michael Corvin's character in Underworld played a crucial role as the first hybrid of vampire and werewolf. Scott Speedman's absence from more recent Underworld movies has raised questions about the character's fate. While Michael's story may have ended, Scott Speedman has continued to thrive in his acting career post-Underworld.

Many fans have wondered what happened Scott Speedman's character Michael Corvin in the Underworld franchise, as he seemingly vanished despite being an integral character. The first Underworld had the simple but effective pitch of vampires versus werewolves with a dash of romance thrown in and became a solid hit and helped make Kate Beckinsale a certified action movie star. It wasn't long until the sequel Underworld: Evolution arrived, which pit Death Dealer Selene (Beckinsale) and her lover Michael against the originators of the vampire and werewolf races. The franchise then featured a prequel Underworld: Rise Of The Lycans, but Beckinsale wasn't involved

However,...

Spider horror movies seem to be all the rage, with Infested streaming on Shudder and Sting now available on Digital at home. And there’s another one on the way, with Deadline reporting that Matilda Lutz (Revenge) will star in an upcoming spider movie titled Arachnid.

The project is the first from the new genre label Badlands, a partnership between Thunder Road (John Wick) and Screen Gems executive Scott Strauss that Deadline first reported on.

Jayson Rothwell (Underworld: Blood Wars) wrote Arachnid, with Ángel Gómez (Voces) directing. Deadline notes, “the spider thriller is due to begin filming this July in Madrid.”

“I am lucky to be in business with Thunder Road and Renegade,” Strauss said in a statement shared by Deadline. “Badlands will be an extension of both companies’ entrepreneurial spirit and is moving quickly to acquire and produce a fresh slate of horror IP.”

“Thunder Road has been looking...

Exclusive: Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee’s Thunder Road (John Wick) is partnering with longtime Screen Gems executive Scott Strauss to launch Badlands.

Backed by Andrew Schwartzberg and Jon Shiffman’s Renegade Capital, the independent genre label will feature development and co-fi funds and plans to make two to three films per year.

First up for the new venture will be Arachnid, starring Matilda Lutz. Written by Jayson Rothwell (Underworld: Blood Wars) and directed by Ángel Gómez (Voces), the spider thriller is due to begin filming this July in Madrid. Altitude Film Sales will introduce the film to buyers in Cannes next week, with CAA Media Finance handling domestic rights.

Rothwell, Schwartzberg, Shiffman, Peter Welter, Alexandra Milchan, and Josh Weinstock are part of the Arachnid producing team.

Lutz is best known for genre projects including Revenge, Reptile and the upcoming films Magpie and Red Sonja, in which she has the title role.

This past weekend was, without a doubt, one that several studios and pretty much every movie theater around the country (and much of the world for that matter) would like to forget. Several new releases hit theaters, including Guy Ritchie's "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare," as well as Crunchroll's latest anime film, "Spy x Family Code: White." It was, however, Universal Pictures' horror/comedy "Abigail" that was the most high-profile release of the bunch. While the film did perform better than the other debuts, it fell well short of expectations and further cemented a point that has been quietly lingering for some time: Vampires are not generally good for business these days.

"Abigail" opened to just $10.2 million, coming in second place over the weekend to Alex Garland's "Civil War," which pulled in $11.1 million in its second frame. Overall, it was one of the worst weekends at the box office in 2024 to date.

Theo James has taken the film industry by storm with his versatile acting skills and undeniable charm. This British actor has managed to captivate audiences worldwide with his performances in various genres, from action-packed blockbusters to thought-provoking dramas. In this article, we will delve into the life and career of Theo James, exploring his early beginnings, notable roles, personal life, and future projects.

From a young age, he displayed a passion for performing arts and knew that he wanted to pursue a career in acting.

Ballerina spinoff to shake Rotten Tomatoes pattern with potential impressive ratings, changing franchise trajectory. Highly anticipated Ballerina film's critical reception to determine the future of the John Wick spinoff series. Director Len Wiseman hoping for redemption of Rotten Tomatoes reputation, banking on Ballerina success.

The John Wick franchise is expanding with its first spinoff movie, and Ballerina is already guaranteed to break a Rotten Tomatoes streak, no matter what the final score is. After four movies centered around Keanu Reeves' assassin, the action franchise is shifting focus to a new character played by Ana de Armas. She stars in Ballerina as a woman who was trained by the ballerina assassin school introduced in John Wick: Chapter 2. Expectations are understandably high for the next iteration of the John Wick franchise to maintain the same level of quality and action audiences have come to expect.

Ballerina's release in theaters might still be months away,...

Inevitably, every movie franchise reaches a point of diminishing returns, and not even necessarily due to poor creative choices or bomb installments (though Underworld certainly has both of those things). The problem for Underworld, and why even a legacy sequel down the line wouldn’t really work, is that every other major character who isn’t Selene (Kate Beckinsale) was only in a couple of installments before dying or being sacrificed to the Budget Gods of the Bottom Line. As great as Kate Beckinsale was as Selene, and as great as Beckinsale continues to be in other projects, Selene can’t be the be-all-end-all if Underworld is to have a future. The way things were left in Underworld: Blood Wars, the underperforming fifth installment from 2017, there certainly could be more story with Selene, but letting things end is okay — especially in Hollywood, where finality is only a temporary state of being.

It may be difficult to think of a film series that is more aesthetically dated than the "Underworld" movies, and I include certain century-old silent movies in that statement. The first "Underworld" film was released in the fall of 2003, and it was infused with all the genre trappings of its era. The long black leather coats, the blue-tinted photography, the use of slow-motion, and the stoic-yet-capable badass heroes all reek of post-"Matrix" malaise, appealing only to young people who were 16 in September of 2003. What's more, the film's soundtrack featured some terrible metal tunes that old-world metalheads found to be shrill and whiny. Sorry, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, and The Icarus Line.

The premise of "Underworld" sounds fun on paper, but the bleak, steely tone of the movie made the movie less-than-fun to watch. For centuries, vampires and werewolves — called Lycans — have been at war, killing each other out of sight from the human world.

When “Underworld” premiered in 2003, it was dismissed by critics, partly because its vamps, particularly Pvc-clad lead character Selene (Kate Beckinsale) hardly ever bite anyone. But the action-horror film, which costarred Scott Speedman, Michael Sheen and Bill Nighy, went on to spawn an entire franchise about the war between the Lycans and the Vampires.

If you want to watch the series in chronological order, you’d have to start with the second film, which is set in the early 15th century and doesn’t feature Selene at all.

Here’s how to watch all the “Underworld” movies in order.

Rhona Mitra and Michael Sheen (Screen Gems)

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009)

Although we got a hint of werewolf Lucian (Michael Sheen)’s tragic love story in the first “Underworld” film, this prequel tells how he fell in love with vampire Sonja (Rhona Mitra), despite the fact he was, essentially a slave to her father,...

It’s no secret movie lovers go crazy for vampire films. Whether violent and grotesque undead or drool-worthy, six-pack-sporting bloodsuckers, we devour vampire movies like there's no tomorrow, and the Underworld franchise is no exception. The franchise has been a staple since 2003, but diehard fans might be getting some bad news due to significant changes.

When the first movie, Underworld, hit theaters with a $22 million budget, the film made a jaw-dropping $100 million worldwide despite receiving mixed reviews. A few bad reviews didn't stop the producers' momentum and four more installments. A franchise worthy of its salt was created, and lead star Kate Beckinsale’s career skyrocketed. She starred in four of the five films as the vampire Death Dealer Selene, and to fans, she quickly became the face of the Underworld universe. Sadly, in 2018, during an interview with Variety, Beckinsale announced she wouldn't be returning for any future Underworld films...

An Underworld TV show could focus on Selene's daughter Eve, exploring her training as a Death Dealer and her role as the heir to a vampire coven. The series could delve into the rebuilding efforts of vampire covens after the Nordic Coven's destruction, exploring different approaches and ideologies within the vampire world. Fans would love to see a Kate Beckinsale cameo in the show, as it would help ground the series in the franchise and appeal to longtime fans.

After years stuck in development hell, the Underworld TV show is moving forward, and there are certain things fans want to see in the franchise's return. When the fifth film in the Underworld franchise, Underworld: Blood Wars concluded, Selene (Kate Beckinsale) was named an Elder of the Nordic Coven of vampires with David (Theo James) and her daughter Eve by her side. The vampires seemed to have finally achieved some...

Director Len Wiseman has confirmed that a reboot of the Underworld franchise is still in the works. Wiseman clarified that the plans for a revival are focused on a small screen adaptation rather than a sixth sequel on the big screen. Underworld, despite mixed critical reception, has a devoted fan base and has spawned multiple sequels, making it a viable property for a reboot or TV adaptation.

Director Len Wiseman has confirmed that a reboot of the vampire versus werewolf saga, Underworld, is still being planned. Speaking with EW, Wiseman, who has directed several installments in the Underworld franchise beginning with the first outing back in 2003, was asked whether there are “any plans to bring Underworld back in any fashion?” Check out what the filmmaker had to say below:

“There is a fashion that is in the works. I can't talk about it, but there is a future to Underworld for sure.

While anticipation continues to rise across the sands for Denis Villeneuve's upcoming epic sci-fi sequel, Dune: Part Two, plenty of uncertainty has risen around the saga's spin-off series Dune: The Sisterhood, which has been struggling to get production off the ground with a constant revolving door of cast and crew. After the latest departures put the show on effective hiatus, per a report from Deadline, Anna Foerster has come aboard as the series' new director, planning to helm several of the episodes including the pilot. Jodhi May has also been recast in the role of Empress Natalya while Olivia Williams will be playing Tula Harkonnen.

The reviews for M3GAN are in and critics agree that the killer doll film is an electrifying time at the movies that introduces a brand-new icon to the horror canon. The film, which was produced by James Wan, stars Allison Williams as a young scientist who develops a lifelike artificial intelligence doll to be a companion for her orphaned niece, only to realize that the AI's directive to protect the girl has resulted in the android M3GAN becoming a bloodthirsty killing machine. In addition to being the first major wide release of the year, M3GAN arrives in theaters in the wake of a massive wave of viral interest on social media thanks to a clip of the killer doll dancing that captured the imagination of people across the globe.

Today, ahead of M3GAN's impending theatrical release, the embargo lifted on reviews of the film, allowing critics' to share their full thoughts.

It’s extremely impolite to release a film like “M3GAN” in the first weekend of the calendar year. Early January is a time that’s usually reserved for unremarkable or awful genre films like “Underworld: Blood Wars” or the re-quel of “The Grudge.” But “M3GAN” is actually a good movie, and it shouldn’t be tainted by this association with the typical winter doldrums.

Actually, “M3GAN” is more than just a good movie: It’s a great one. Gerard Johnstone (“Housebound”) and screenwriter Akela Cooper (“Malignant”) have crafted a frighteningly fun and excitingly creepy horror-comedy that holds up to scrutiny. It’s thematically rich and emotionally resonant. Maybe 2023 will be a pretty good year after all; “M3GAN” gives us hope.

Allison Williams stars as Gemma, a single, career-focused toy designer whose life gets thrown into upheaval when her sister and brother-in-law suddenly die. Gemma is given custody of her niece,...

Blumhouse CEO Jason Blum attended the premiere of the company's new film M3GAN in costume as the viral killer doll at the center of the film. M3GAN, which debuts in theaters on January 6, 2023, stars Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, Ronny Chieng, and Brian Jordan Alvarez, and follows a young woman who becomes the caretaker for her niece, introducing her to an AI doll companion named M3GAN whose protective instincts turn deadly. A peculiar moment from the film's trailer in which M3GAN dances in a hallway quickly went viral and was later recreated by a troupe of dancers at the film's L.A. premiere on December 8.

On his official Twitter account, Blum shares a photo from the official M3GAN premiere. Blum, who is a producer on the film, is featured in the center of the photo wearing a full M3GAN costume, posing alongside four of the dancers who performed at the premiere.

Oliver Stark is on fire. After such fantastical roles in “Into the Badlands” and “Underworld: Blood Wars”, the British-born actor landed on the more grounded “9-1-1″.

The hit TV procedural follows the lives of Los Angeles first responders and Stark portrays Evan “Buck” Buckley, a firefighter who works at Station 118. For the 31-year-old actor, the project checked off plenty of boxes.

“One thing I have always found myself very interested in is being a part of projects with an action element to them, something 9-1-1 does to a huge degree,” Stark tells Et Canada. “It’s something I find exhilarating and if done well, can really enhance the drama.”

Plot: A storm rages. A young girl is kidnapped. Her mother teams up with the mysterious woman next door to pursue the kidnapper – a journey that tests their limits and exposes shocking secrets from their pasts.

Review: For every heavily marketed movie premiering on Netflix, there are dozens that fly under the radar. More often than not, these movies are throwaway programming designed to bulk up the selection that Netflix has to offer but every now and then there is a solid flick that is worth your attention. Lou is an unexpected action movie with an even more unexpected lead role from Oscar-winning actress Allison Janney who earns a spot alongside Keanu Reeves, Charlize Theron, Bob Odenkirk, and Joey King in the John Wick school of action heroes. A nice throwback to action movies of the 80s and 90s, Lou is a badass thriller that should be at the top...

Logan Marshall-Green, Matt Craven, and Ridley Asha Bateman also star in the film, directed by Anna Foerster (“Underworld: Blood Wars”) from a script by Maggie Cohn and Jack Stanley. Bad Robot’s JJ Abrams, Hannah Minghella, and Jon Cohen are producing, with lead stars Janney and Emmy nominee Smollett executive producing. Lindsey Weber, behind Prime Video’s “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” is also serving as an executive producer.

"The world's not a playground. Teach your kid to look out for herself." Netflix has revealed the trailer for a crime thriller titled Lou, from filmmaker Anna Foerster, who hasn't directed any other movie since making Underworld: Blood Wars in 2016. Produced by J.J.

Allison Janney…action hero? As unlikely as that sounds, it appears to be true as confirmed with the release of Netflix’s official trailer for Lou. The action thriller finds Oscar winner Allison Janney trying to help a desperate mother, played by Emmy nominee Jurnee Smollett (Lovecraft Country), find her kidnapped daughter.

The thriller’s cast also includes Logan Marshall-Green, Ridley Asha Bateman, and Matt Craven. Anna Foerster (Underworld: Blood Wars) directed from a screenplay by Maggie Cohn and Jack Stanley.

Bad Robot’s J.J. Abrams, Hannah Minghella, and Jon Cohen produced, with Janney, Smollett, Cory Bennett Lewis, Lindsey Weber, Brendan Ferguson, and Braden Aftergood executive producing.

The official trailer arrived along with a new poster and three photos from the action film which is set for release on September 23, 2022.

Netflix released the following synopsis of Lou:

Thinking she’d put her dangerous past behind her, Lou (Janney) finds her...

Academy Award and Emmy Award-winner Allison Janney is adding action star to her very long resume with the upcoming Netflix film "Lou." The streamer just released a new trailer for the film in which she co-stars with Jurnee Smollett.

In "Lou," Janney plays a woman who has left a life of danger behind her, and has settled into a normal existence. That all changes when the mother of a kidnapped daughter (Smollett) begs her to help bring the child home. They'll have to risk everything to survive the rescue mission, a massive storm, and test their own limits to pull this off. Also starring in the film are Logan Marshall-Green and Ridley Asha Bateman ("Shattered").

Janney trained for "Lou" with fight choreographer Daniel Bernhardt at the 87Eleven studio, where Charlize Theron trained for "Atomic Blonde," and Halle Berry trailed for "John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum." If the fight scenes in...

Director Riley Stearns is the kind of creative whose movies garner critical acclaim, serve as film festival darlings, and allow actors to play characters beyond what they're typically given by Hollywood. And yet he hasn't been able to make the jump to become a household name. It's still up for debate whether or not his third film, "Dual" will help bridge the gap, but with Karen Gillan, Beulah Koale, Theo James, and Aaron Paul starring in...

HBO Max has reportedly found their villain for the upcoming Green Lantern series, as Outlander and Game of Thrones star Tobias Menzies enters talks to portray Sinestro.

Underworld star Kate Beckinsale reveals an idea she had for a crossover with fellow vampire hunter Blade, something which she would still love to do. Beckinsale's Underworld / Blade movie would have seen her character Selene team up with Marvel's Daywalker, with the pair no doubt striking fear in the unbeating hearts of vampires everywhere.

"I really wanted them to do an Underworld-Blade mashup. What a duo (Selene and Blade) would be. I would definitely do that, but I think they just wanted to reboot Blade as Blade, so they didn't go for it."

This is not the first time that Beckinsale has pitched this idea, with the actress revealing during a 2016 Q&a for the franchise's fifth movie, Underworld: Blood Wars, that Underworld's production team had discussed the crossover with Marvel, who ultimately decided to turn it down. This was later confirmed by Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige who said,...

Exclusive: Jurnee Smollett, hot off a SAG ensemble nomination and a Best Actress TV Drama series Critics Choice nom for the HBO series Lovecraft Country, is boarding the Netflix movie Lou as star and executive producer.

Smollett joins Oscar winner Allison Janney, who is also starring and executive producing the Anna Foerster-directed film.

Written by Maggie Cohn, a massive storm rages in Lou. A young girl is kidnapped. Her mother, with no other option, teams up with the mysterious older woman next door to pursue the kidnapper – a journey into the wilderness that will test their limits and expose dark and shocking secrets from their pasts. J.J. Abrams, Jon Cohen and Hannah Minghella of Bad Robot are producing. Braden Aftergood and Lindsey Weber are also EPs. Foerster has directed episodes of Outlander, Westworld and Carnival Row as well as the Screen Gems feature Underworld: Blood Wars starring Kate Beckinsale.

Based on Audrey Niffenegger’s novel of the same name, the series tells the story of Clare (Leslie) and Henry (James), and a marriage with a problem — time travel.

Clare is described as fiery, clever and unstoppable – and for most of her life she’s had an amazing secret. Since she was six years old Clare has had an imaginary friend: a kind and funny man, sometimes old, sometimes young, who appears in the woods behind her house and tells her tales of the future. Visits from the mysterious Henry are the bright spots in the tedium of her childhood. As the years pass, and she grows into a beautiful young woman, she starts to realise her friend is not imaginary – he’s a time traveler, visiting from the future.

Fans of vampires and werewolves who also happen to be Netflix subscribers have reason to celebrate. The streaming service has revealed that the original Underworld trilogy will be arriving on May 1 for subscribers. This doesn't include the entirety of the franchise, but it does include three horror/fantasy adventures with Kate Beckinsale's Selene to help pass the time while we all are stuck at home.

Netflix recently revealed many of the titles that will be arriving in May. Amongst those announcements were the first three Underworld movies, including the 2003 original, 2006's Underworld: Evolution and 2009's prequel Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. Notably absent from the lineup are 2012's Underworld: Awakening, as well as 2017's Underworld: Blood Wars. There is no explanation currently as to why Netflix...

The Underworld movies achieved exactly what they set out to do: show Kate Beckinsale in a series of tight outfits blasting and kicking her way through hi-octane action sequences. They were never likely to please critics but dammit, if you wanted to sit in a theater and watch a pretty lady shoot monsters, they were your best bet.

Debuted in 2003, the franchise proved to have long legs, racking up five entries (and an animated movie) over the next 14 years, closing out with Underworld: Blood Wars in 2017. And now the whole bloody collection is coming to Netflix for your streaming pleasure in May. But could this be a hint that a sixth film might be on the cards?

Creator Len Wiseman hinted in 2017 that another sequel was in development and that they planned to continue the story of Beckinsale’s Selene. Sadly, plans for this stalled, partly due to Blood Wars...

Take a look at "Underworld" actress Kate Beckinsale, posing for "Shape" magazine:

"...in 'Underworld: Blood Wars', 'vampire' death dealer 'Selene' (Beckinsale) continues her struggle against the 'Lycan' clan and the 'Vampire' faction that betrayed her, with both sides trying to use the blood of her and her daughter to become 'Vampire-Corvinus' hybrids.

"After hiding her daughter, Selene, 'David' (James) and his father 'Thomas' (Dance), attempt to end the eternal war between Lycans and Vampires, though it may cost Selene her life..."

"Underworld : Blood Wars" cast also includes Theo James, Tobias Menzies, Trent Garrett, Lara Pulver...

...Peter Andersson, Clementine Nicholson, Bradley James, and Charles Dance.

History’s drama series “Knightfall” will return with its second season — which includes Mark Hamill — on Monday, March 25 at 10 p.m. Et/Pt, A + E Studios announced during the Television Critics Association press tour Sunday. But if you can’t wait that long to see Hamill trade in his lightsaber for a Medieval sword, you’re in luck, because History also dropped the Season 2 trailer.

The 2-minute, 16-second video teases Hamill’s debut as Talus, a battle-hardened Knight Templar veteran and initiate master who is tasked with preparing the next generation of men to proudly wear the red cross on their chests and become “God’s Executioners.” Based on the trailer, it seems Talus oscillates between giving out sage advice, and punching people.

Hamill joins series star Tom Cullen (Sir Landry du Lauzon) — who he punches in the face in the clip above, by the way — for the eight-episode Season...
