WandaVision was a champion for MCU TV shows which didn’t have much luck except for Loki‘s phenomenal success. Apart from Wanda Maximoff’s incredibly twisted and complicated character, another character that shined in the show was Agatha Harkness.
Her popularity among fans of the series prompted a spin-off miniseries revolving around the witch’s backstory and adventures. Agatha All Along may have elicited mixed reactions initially, but the show quickly proved its worth to fans who fell in love with the coven. However, Kathryn Hahn’s recent comment about her character has fans worried this could be her final MCU stint.

After the shocking 2022 Oscars incident which involved Will Smith smacking Chris Rock for a supposedly offensive joke, the internet had a field day. Keyboard warriors were split, half condemning the actor’s impulsive actions while others trivializing the entire ordeal.
The online debate of what would have Smith done if that quip had been delivered by someone like Mike Tyson finally has an answer. The boxing legend revealed on his podcast the consequences of their potential brawl, stating there would have been no need for a confrontation. Tyson’s statement justified why the Suicide Squad actor wouldn’t need to have a face-off with him.

Just before Halloween back in 2022, it was announced that Willa Fitzgerald and Kyle Gallner – who both have experience working in the Scream franchise, as Fitzgerald was in the Scream TV series and Gallner appeared in the 2022 Scream movie – were set to star in the “cat and mouse thriller” Strange Darling. The movie was given a theatrical release back in August, and JoBlo’s own Tyler Nichols loved it; you can read his 9/10 review at This Link. It was given a digital release at the start of this month. And soon, fans will have the chance to add copies of the film to their Blu-ray and DVD collections.

Marvel has a new TV show on deck, and this one should seem familiar.
The aptly named “Agatha All Along” is centered on Kathryn Hahn’s character from “WandaVision” and is indeed named for the catchy tune she sang in that series. The show will follow Agatha as she works to not only get her powers back after Wanda’s spell left her trapped in a TV character persona, but also builds her own coven.
Here’s who we know for sure might be in or associated with that coven in the “Agatha All Along” cast ahead of the show’s Sept. 18 premiere on Disney+.

Apart from some notable exceptions, most of MCU’s TV slate has been pretty lukewarm, even though it started on a pretty high note with WandaVision. Moreover, Kathryn Hahn’s Agatha was arguably the biggest highlight of the show, who was also one of the better twist villains to release under the Disney umbrella in years.

Agatha All Along star Kathryn Hahn has a portfolio of diverse roles where she stole the scene whenever she could. For her lead role in Mrs. Fletcher, Hahn didn’t stop herself from completely transforming into the s*xually-driven divorced mother. It also meant that she could no longer let her son Google her name, concerned that he could find the screen grabs or clips from the series out of context.

Hahn started out as a supporting character in films and continued to remain in such a capacity for a couple of decades. Her rise to the lead role came very late in life, thanks to projects like Mrs. Fletcher. After playing the villain Agatha in WandaVision, Hahn is back as the witch in Agatha All Along.

Agatha All Along star Kathryn Hahn has been in a handful of brilliant movies and TV series, but she has hardly gotten the recognition she truly deserved. Having played supporting roles in several films, the actress has built up quite an impressive filmography, spread across different genres, including the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Apart from playing the supportive assistant in the iconic rom-com How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days or the drug-induced Bad Moms, Hahn had one of her most risky roles on HBO’s Mrs. Fletcher.

The crowds of film sellers and buyers are still rolling into Toronto from Venice and Telluride, but the puck dropped Thursday night on the acquisitions marketplace with the premiere of Nutcrackers.
David Gordon Green has taken a detour from genre to serve up a Ben Stiller-starrer that proved a crowdpleaser in two opening-night showings.
That kind of movie — with promising premises with stars and directors with proven track records — is all over the schedule. There is a lot to like in this 2024 TIFF acquisitions market. But I’ve just come from an L.A. visit and cannot recall as bleak a black cloud hangover from the twin strikes of last year. It will take time for the business to recover, and this caution could factor into the dealmaking. Also on the minds of distributors is how elusive box office has become. Comparable films to the ones on sale here...

It has been three years since Kathryn Hahn made her MCU debut in WandaVision, who was one of the better twist villains under the Disney umbrella. While phase four as a whole was underwhelming, as it failed to recapture the heights set by the Infinity Saga, WandaVision was one of the stronger entries in that phase, and Agatha was one of its highlights.
With Agatha now set to receive her own Disney Plus show, Hahn shared an exciting update on the show, which seems to rectify one of the biggest shortcomings of MCU’s biggest TV mishap so far.

M.F.A. screenwriter Leah McKendrick recently wrote the initial screenplay for the I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel that’s set to reach theatres on July 18, 2025. Her script for that project has since been rewritten by director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge) and Time magazine’s Sam Lansky – and while the I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel heads into production for Sony and Columbia Pictures, McKendrick has set up another horror project at Universal Pictures. She will be writing and directing an untitled monster movie for the studio, with James Wan’s company Atomic Monster producing.
As of right now, McKendrick’s monster movie doesn’t appear to be a reboot of an older Universal Monsters property along the lines of The Mummy, The Invisible Man, or The Wolf Man. Details are being kept under wraps, but Deadline was able to learn that McKendrick’s...

Christina Applegate’s comment earlier this month that she doesn’t enjoy living anymore following her Ms diagnosis caused concern among many for the Dead to Me star.
In the June 4 episode of her MeSsy podcast with fellow Ms survivor Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Applegate candidly told listeners, “A real, fuck-it-all depression — like, a real depression, where it’s kind of scaring me too a little bit because it feels really fatalistic, it feels really ‘end of,’” Applegate said on MeSsy. “I don’t mean that, but I’m trapped in this darkness right now that I haven’t felt in probably 20-something years.”
She continued, “I don’t enjoy living. I don’t enjoy it. I don’t enjoy things anymore.”
The Married with Children alum addressed the comments in her latest episode of MeSsy.

Adam Fogelson is replacing Joe Drake as chair of Lionsgate’s motion picture group.
Drake reportedly initiated the transition and will be working with Fogelson over the coming months on succession plans. Drake, who was named co-chair of Lionsgate in 2017, will be leaving the company. He’s departing after leading the studio to its first billion-dollar year since 2019, thanks to commercial winners like “John Wick: Chapter 4” and “Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.”
“Despite unprecedented disruption over the last few years, we built a team that thrived throughout and achieved everything I could have imagined at Lionsgate,’ Drake said in a statement. “Having worked side by side with Adam for the past 18 months, he is the perfect choice to lead the motion picture group forward to even greater heights.”

Lionsgate’s Motion Picture Group Chair Joe Drake is exiting the studio. He’ll hand the reins to Adam Fogelson, who formerly lead both Universal Pictures and STX Motion Picture Group; Fogelson joined Lionsgate’s film group in 2022 as vice chair. This is now the third studio Fogelson will lead dating back to 2009.
Drake returned to Lionsgate in 2017 after starting Good Universe Pictures, which Lionsgate acquired from Drake. He most recently oversaw Lionsgate’s first $1 billion year at the global box office since 2019, thanks in large part to new “John Wick,” “Hunger Games,” and “Saw” films. Drake also oversaw the successes of “Knives Out,” “Jesus Revolution,” “Shotgun Wedding,” and more.
Fogelson and Drake will continue to work together over the next couple of months.

Lionsgate has tapped Adam Fogelson to succeed Joe Drake as chair of its movie division.
It’s understood Drake initiated the transition as he works with Fogelson — currently vice chair of the Motion Picture Group and overseeing the worldwide marketing and theatrical distribution — over the coming months to ensure a smooth succession.
Former STX Film chief Fogelson joined Lionsgate in September 2022 and reported to Drake, chair of the studio’s Motion Picture Group. His move to Lionsgate followed the Hollywood studio exploring a possible takeover of STX, a deal that didn’t come to pass.
Drake rejoined Lionsgate in 2017 after running Good Universe Pictures, the second company acquired by Lionsgate from Drake. He reentered a studio different from the one he left in 2012, as Lionsgate had moved beyond its hit Hunger Games and Twilight franchises to leverage a diversified portfolio of film and TV properties across multiple platforms, especially after acquiring Starz.

Review: If you are a fan of Bill Burr’s stand-up comedy, you likely know what you are in for with Old Dads. Burr’s directorial debut is an amalgam of his observations and rants from his twenty-plus years as a comedian told through the fictional story of a trio of fifty-year-olds dealing with generational change. On the heels of a year that has seen semi-autobiographical films starring comedians like Burt Kreischer and Sebastian Maniscalco and the series Bupkis with Pete Davidson, Old Dads is a fictional story that relies heavily on Burr’s sense of humor. But, instead of capitalizing on Burr’s red-hot temper as a source of constant comedy, Old Dads is a relatively traditional movie that tries to tell several different kinds of stories without...

“Old Dads,” a Netflix comedy about three middle-aged dads in Los Angeles, each trying to deal with the delayed pleasures and perils of fatherhood, sounds like a Hollywood satire to watch along with “Bad Moms,” or maybe the sort of broad burlesque of child-rearing that would star someone like John Cena. Actually, though, it’s not that sort of movie. It was directed and co-written by Bill Burr, who also stars in it, and it’s been spun out of the kind of prickly incorrect observations that are the hallmark of Burr’s stand-up comedy — and also the kind of squirm comedy that powers his anthology series “Immoral Compass.” “Old Dads” isn’t nearly as good as “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” but at times it feels like three episodes of that show jammed together — that is, if Larry David were a Gen-x firecracker whose anger-management issues make Larry look like a pussycat.

After a six-year run leading Miramax, CEO Bill Block is exiting the studio, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Block’s contract at Miramax, co-owned by beIN Media Group and Paramount Global, expired this week and was not renewed. The executive started as CEO in April 2017.
The studio is looking to develop projects based on its own intellectual property rather than aiming to acquire projects, a source close to Miramax’s owners said. A search is underway for a new top executive.
Miramax, founded by Harvey and Bob Weinstein and then later purchased and sold by Disney, has largely been known in recent years for its expansive library of more than 700 films. However, since Block joined and its acquisition by BeIN and Paramount, the studio has tried to make a bigger push into producing and distribution with the relaunch of the Halloween franchise, as well as films such as The Gentleman,...

Pop a bottle of Prosecco and get ready to shake your money-maker because Lionsgate is partnering with STX to develop scripted TV series inspired by Jennifer Lopez’s Hustlers and the raunchy 2016 comedy Bad Moms. The plan to put both projects into development is part of a new distribution deal between STXfilms and Lionsgate, the companies announced on Wednesday.
The Hustlers and Bad Moms TV series projects are in the early stages of development, and there is no word if the original cast or crew members will return for the episodic versions of either property.
Released in 2016, Bad Moms stars Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, and Kathryn Hahn as three overworked and under-appreciated moms pushed beyond their limits. After succumbing to exhaustion, they ditch their conventional responsibilities for a jolt of long-overdue freedom, fun, and comedic self-indulgence. A sequel, A Bad Moms Christmas, was released in 2017. Both movies were received well by audiences,...
