This post contains spoilers for the season premiere of "Loki."
"Loki" is back this week, and along with the return of Norse trickster god Loki (Tom Hiddleston), agent Mobius (Owen Wilson), and the rest of the Time Variance Authority, the show's premiere also sees the introduction of a few new key characters. Among them? Ke Huy Quan's helpful, tech-savvy Ouroboros (or O.B.) and X-5, a mysterious new Tva agent played by Rafael Casal. And it's the latter who is particularly intriguing.
So far, we haven't seen X-5 do much besides question whether jet skis are part of the sacred timeline, but the character already seems to be an agitating force within the organization. He's also quite possibly poised to become a recognizable Marvel villain. After all, a featurette for the second season had a couple bits of footage from behind the scenes that showed him in a Tva jumpsuit,...

Steel yourselves for something saucy because a series adaptation of the May Cobb novel, The Hunting Wives, is coming to Starz. The network gave the project an eight-episode order, with Hightown creator Rebecca Cutter writing, executive producing, and showrunning the adaptation with 3 Arts Entertainment’s Erwin Stoff. The Hunting Wives is the first new series coming to Starz since the end of the WGA strike last week. The network recently canceled shows, including Heels, Run the World, and Blindspotting, much to the dismay of fans.
Here’s the synopsis for Cobb’s novel via Amazon:
Sophie O’Neill left behind an envy-inspiring career and the stressful, competitive life of big-city Chicago to settle down with her husband and young son in a small Texas town. It seems like the perfect life with a beautiful home in an idyllic rural community. But Sophie soon realizes that life is now too quiet,...

Of the eight live-action TV shows that Marvel Studios has produced for Disney+ to date, only one has concluded with the explicit promise of a second season: That would be “Loki,” the outrageously entertaining series about Tom Hiddleston’s god of mischief and his metaphysical exploits in the Time Variance Authority.
It turns out, those plans were already in the works before a second of “Loki” had ever streamed. As executive producer Kevin Wright explains to Variety, he and Hiddleston began talking about Season 2 of the show while in production on the third episode of Season 1.
“As we were shooting the ‘Lamentis’ episode, Tom and I started having lots of conversations about how this world could build out, how we dive deeper into it,” he says. “A large part of what we wanted to do was not trying to repeat ourselves, and not try to play the hits.” At the same time,...

Shortly after actor Stephen Amell made headlines for calling the SAG-AFTRA strike “incredibly frustrating” and “myopic,” “Heels” showrunner Mike O’Malley called up his series’ star.
“We knew that [his comments] were going to distract from the hard work that the people in both the WGA, of which I’m a member, and SAG-AFTRA were doing,” O’Malley said in an interview with EW. “When I heard and I called him up, I said, ‘Stephen, man, we all got to stand together.’ He got it immediately.”
O’Malley went on to call the moment “unfortunate” and note that he “genuinely” thinks Amell “put his foot in his mouth.”
“He felt bad about it,” O’Malley said. “I think he was basically saying what a lot of people were saying, which was that they were frustrated that they couldn’t work. But I know where his heart is, and his heart is standing with his union,...

Heels showrunner Mike O’Malley has weighed in on strike comments made in July by Stephen Amell, who called the SAG-AFTRA strike “myopic,” “incredibly frustrating” and a “reductive negotiating tactic” earlier this summer.
While talking to EW about his desire to find a new home for Heels, the wrestling-and-family drama that was just canceled by Starz, O’Malley was asked to reflect on what his star said during the heat of the summer labor dispute.
While appearing at Galaxycon in Raleigh, Nc, in July, Amell said, “I support my union, I do, and I stand with them, but I do not support striking, I don’t I think it is a reductive negotiating tactic, and I find the entire thing incredibly frustrating. And I think the thinking as it pertains to shows like the show that I’m on [Heels], that premiered last night, I think it’s myopic.”

The premium cable movie channel Starz has reportedly canceled three of their shows plus one upcoming project, according to Deadline. Starz will no longer be continuing the run of the wrestling drama Heels, as well as Run the World and Blindspotting. In addition, the channel has also decided not to proceed with The Venery of Samantha Bird. Heels, Run the World and Blindspotting have all completed two seasons, but The Venery of Samantha Bird was in the middle of production when the show paused for the strikes.

Heels, Run The World and Blindspotting all aired two seasons and The Venery of Samantha Bird paused production in May due to the strikes with two episodes left to film.
Heels revolves around the men and women who chase their dreams in the world of small-town pro wrestling.

Season 2 saw Jack and Ace “continue to fight over their late father’s legacy and their individual versions of success, while also working to find their own identity as a ‘face’ or a ‘heel,’” per the official synopsis.

With the months-long WGA walkout looking set for imminent resolve, Starz is getting ahead of the inevitable post-strike culling. The network has canceled four original series — including one that had yet to even air.
On the block are wrestling drama Heels, comedy Run the World and dramedy Blindspotting, each of which recently aired its second season. Additionally, drama The Venery of Samantha Bird will not resume production after stopping, mid first season, when the WGA strike began in May.
Dropping four series at once is not a minor move for the cable network. Starz recently announced an end date for longtime hit Outlander, which will leave the channel and its sister streamer largely reliant on the enduring Power spinoffs and a handful of other programs like horror comedy Shining Vale. (Keeping with spin-offs, Starz has also greenlit a 10-episode prequel series, Outlander: Blood of My Blood from the executive producers of the original.

Starz announced the cancellation of four of its series, including “Blindspotting,” “Heels,” “Run the World” and “The Venery of Samantha Bird,” TheWrap has learned.
An individual with knowledge of the decisionmaking told TheWrap that the shows “unfortunately did not find a large enough audience” to be renewed for more episodes. A decision has yet to be made on the series “Minx,” which aired its Season 2 finale on Sept. 8.
The decision to remove the shows from the slate came after strong consideration, and per the insider, the network hopes to work with Rafael Casal (“Blindspotting”), Daveed Diggs (“Blindspotting”), Rachelle Williams-Benary (“Run the World”) and Mike O’Malley (“Heels”) in the future. Each of these shows have all aired their second seasons.
“The Venery of Samantha,” starring Katherine Langford and created by Anna Moriarty, only had two more episodes of its first season left to film, but the writers’ and actors’ strikes impacted its cancellation.

For their doc feature about music superstar Lil Nas X, filmmakers Carlos López Estrada and Zac Manuel didn’t want to do a typical concert doc.
With Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero, which had its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, the filmmakers hoped to provide a viewing experience that both gave an inside look at the staging of his first tour while tracking Lil Nas X’s personal journey, including his decision to come out about his sexuality to both his family and fans.
His music, including “Montero (Cal Me By Your Name)” and “Industry Baby”, has become a culture war lightning rod, with protests outside of several of his concert venues and television performances garnering attention from right-wing news pundits. (The film’s TIFF premiere was delayed after a bomb threat was called in to the Roy Thomson Hall.) Nonetheless, his shows sold out and received critical acclaim for the musician,...

The story of Lil Nas X’s rise from internet shitposter to one of our most innovative pop stars testifies to the musician’s tenacity, strategy and unwavering faith in himself. The Georgia native was only 20 years old when “Old Town Road,” his infectious country-trap song, went viral in 2019. Videos of children, teens and adults belting “I’m gonna take my house to the old town road” mushroomed across the internet. More than writing a hit, Lil Nas X encapsulated a new kind of road to stardom.
It’s a shame, then, that Carlos López Estrada and Zac Manuel’s plodding documentary Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero doesn’t probe its subject more. The film, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, is an anthemic document organized around Lil Nas X’s tour of the same name and split into three loose acts.

When queer, genre-bending hip hop artist Lil Nas X first shot to fame with the infectious track “Old Town Road,” he appeared to be the culmination of Napster’s revolution. When the music download service emerged, it rendered the physical digital. Ever since then, music has been waiting for a totally viral music star. In 2019, “Old Town Road” and “Panini” became major hits. But the pandemic made touring those earworms impossible. So in the span of lockdowns, maskings, and a vaccine, the rapper released his debut album “Montero,” spawning even more chart-topping singles. For three years, in fact, Lil Nas X exclusively existed in streams and social media — the perfect digital icon for an identity conscious generation.

You know you’re watching a true pop star when that person’s identity — their very existence — smashes boundaries. Elvis Presley was a country boy who mixed country and rockabilly and the blues, and with his sneer and black hair and mascara he looked like no human had ever looked before. Prince was a one-man band who mixed funk and rock with his own synth-pop bitches’ brew and sang, “Am I black or white? Am I straight or gay?”
Lil Nas X, following in the footsteps of Elvis’s blue suede shoes and Prince’s James Brown-with-wings delirium, is a Black queer confessional pop hip-hop diva who put himself on the map with a viral single, recorded in about an hour, in which he appropriated the cowboy mystique of the Wild West — and did it with a wink of pure sincerity. In “Old Town Road,” he turned the tables on Elvis 70 years later,...

On the eve of heading up to Canada this week to attend the Toronto Film Festival, where his documentary “Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero” has its world debut Saturday night, pop superstar Lil Nas X was playing it nonchalant about stepping outside the music realm a bit to be the center of a splashy event in the movie world. “Not really,” he answers, when asked whether it means anything special to him to have a gala premiere at North America’s biggest film event. “I mean, I’m excited to go there and to see what people think, and also, I’ve never been to a film festival, so maybe I’ll meet people and and build some future relationships. That can be cool.”

Ron Cephas Jones, who left viewers emotional throughout his breakthrough run on NBC’s “This Is Us,” has died, TheWrap has confirmed via his manager.
Jones, 66, had broken through as an older actor portraying William “Shakespeare” Hill on the soapy NBC drama, father to Sterling K. Brown’s Randall Pearson.
Jones died of a “long-standing pulmonary issue,” according to a statement from his representatives. The actor suffered from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, he told The New York Times in 2021, and had received a double-lung transplant.
The first credited role Jones played was in 1994, but he continued to get work in projects including “Law & Order,” “NYPD Blue” and “He Got Game.” But he hit a new level of prominence as an estranged father on “This Is Us,” one who knew his time was limited and whose arc ultimately depicted his death.

Jan de Bont isn’t getting bent out of shape over upcoming “Twister” sequel, titled “Twisters” plural.
The director told Inverse that while he was never contacted to consult on the follow-up film, he knows the Lee Isaac Chung-helmed feature will certainly be a “different approach” from the 1996 blockbuster.
“I want to have somebody else see it first,” de Bont said of potentially watching Chung’s “Twisters,” adding, “It might be a really different approach. That’s the same with [Greta Gerwig] of ‘Barbie.’ Nobody would ever have thought she’d direct that movie and make it so successful.”
De Bont continued of the new studio system, “Don’t forget that the main reason they’re finding younger, inexperienced people is they want to be able to fully control them. They want them to have really good ADs, writers, producers, cinematographers so that they have all the help they can get.

There's no time like the present for the God of Mischief to return. "Loki" season 2 will see Loki (Tom Hiddleston) -- that is, the Loki from 2012 who escaped custody in "Avengers: Endgame," only to find himself captured by and then begrudgingly joining forces with the Time Variance Authority (Tva) -- dealing with the fallout of the season 1 finale. As you may recall, that episode ended with the alternate universe, gender-flipped Loki known as Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) killing the eccentric Kang the Conqueror variant He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors), throwing all of time and space into chaos.
The trailer for "Loki" season 2 teases much of the multiversal mayhem to come, including a version of Mobius M. Mobius (Owen Wilson) who doesn't remember ever meeting Loki (and has a fondness for key lime pie) and Sylvie working at a historical-era McDonald's (you know times are tough when even timeline-hopping aliens need steady employment). However,...

The first trailer for the second season of Loki has dropped, and it includes a peek at Kang, the character played by embattled actor Jonathan Majors.
Loki, the first live-action Marvel Studios series to get a season two, once again stars Tom Hiddleston’s Loki and Owen Wilson’s Mobius M. Mobius of the Time Variance Authority. Everything Everywhere All at Once Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan and Blindspotting’s Rafael Casal join the franchise as well.
The inclusion of Majors in the trailer answers a question about how Disney would market the show, in which the actor is a key antagonist said to appear in about half the episodes.
Majors first showed up in the season one finale before Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania included a Kang-centric post-credits scene. Majors was arrested in New York in late March in what police described as a domestic dispute in which a 30-year-old woman sustained minor injuries.

How do you come to terms with being pulled between the past and the present?
That's what Tom Hiddleston's Loki has to consider in the official trailer for Loki Season 2, premiering October 6 on Disney+.
"I'm being pulled through time, between the past and the present," the MCU veteran says.
"If what I saw is true, there's nothing that stands between this world and utter destruction."
The MCU has utilized the multiverse in the past, so there's a good chance we'll revisit that on Loki Season 2, assuming the world Loki and his friends live in isn't salvageable.
The trailer seemingly hints at Loki going up against He Who Remains (played by Jonathan Majors) and several other villains to protect the integrity of the timeline.
Sophia Di Martino is also back as Sylvie, alongside Owen Wilson (as Mobius), Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Renslayer), Wunmi Mosaku (Hunter B-15), Neil Ellice (Hunter D-90), Eugene Cordero...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe went all-in on the multiverse during Phase 4, highlighted by event films like "Spider-Man: No Way Home" and "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness." But while these big-screen spectacles inevitably received the majority of the spotlight, Kevin Feige arguably got the ball rolling in earnest with the six-part miniseries "Loki."
Picking up where the time-traveling hijinks of "Avengers: Endgame" left off, season 1 detailed the misadventures of 2012-era Loki (Tom Hiddleston) after a break in the timeline caused the God of Mischief to essentially fall out of time. Upon being captured by the Time Variance Authority and promptly put to work searching for an even more meddlesome Loki variant wreaking havoc across the so-called "sacred timeline," the supervillain-turned-antihero found himself woefully out of his own element as he came face-to-face with, well, himself -- or, rather, a gender-bent version of...

It started with a movie that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2018, examining the delicate balance navigated by a Black man almost at the end of his parole. It came two and a half years before the explosion of the Black Lives Matter movement but managed to capture that social sentiment in an accessible way laced with humor and heart. A spin-off TV series made sense, but opting to make it without the onscreen star power of Daveed Diggs was certainly a brave choice. Fortunately, Starz’s “Blindspotting” has been a wonder to behold, and season two only continues to show what audiences likely didn’t even realize was missing from everything else they’ve been watching.
At the heart of “Blindspotting” is Ashley (Jasmine Cephas Jones), who is shocked by the unexpectedly lengthy prison sentence her boyfriend Miles (Rafael Casal) receives and is forced to move in...

In Blindspotting, Jones plays Ashley Rose, a mother raising her young son with the help of her partner’s family while he serves time in prison for drug trafficking. “She’s very strong and puts her family first,” says Jones of her stoic character. “I always look at her as the superhero. There’s a lot of women like this in the world, who do it all in one day.” Where Ashley doesn’t need to keep it all together is in the moments when her character breaks the fourth wall, expressing her emotions in verse. “If you’re ever wondering how she’s feeling, this is the moment where she tells a secret to the audience,” explains Jones. “Usually, it’s a lot of pent-up feelings she needs to really express. We say it is her letters to her son Sean,...

“I don’t think that’s a good idea,” recalls Helen Hunt of her initial reaction to Rafael Casal and Daveed Diggs’ plan to adapt their 2018 film “Blindspotting” into a series. The Oscar- and Emmy Award-winning actress was quickly won over, though, by the creators’ desire to focus the Starz show on Jasmine Cephas Jones’ character Ashley and the family of her longtime boyfriend Miles (Casal), who gets arrested in the first moments of the premiere episode. Watch our exclusive video interview above.
Now at the conclusion of its second season — the finale aired on May 26 — “Blindspotting” chronicles the struggles that the couple, their son Sean (Atticus Woodward), and their extended family and friends go through in the aftermath of Miles’ incarceration. Hunt stars as Miles’ mother Rainey, who the actress reveals to be a “bright-colored” and a “big loud liberal.” While in the first season Rainey focused all of her attention on Sean,...

“Blindspotting” seemed to neatly tie the story of Ashley (Jasmine Cephas Jones) and Miles (Rafael Casal) by the end of the Starz comedy’s eventful Season 2 finale. But a surprise cameo in the episode’s final moments presented a nod to the show’s predecessor — and an exciting path forward.
The episode, titled “Return to Ithaca,” followed the aftermath of Miles’ surprise release from prison. He arrived back home near the end of the penultimate episode just as Trish (Jaylen Barron) confronted Ashley about kissing another man while Miles was in prison, which led them to a big rift in the couple’s relationship.
The finale followed as Ashley and Miles, along with the rest of their family, tried to figure out a way to move on after her betrayal and Miles’ surprise return. Though it took some time and difficult conversations, the couple was willing to put their troubles...
