Deadline reports that Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow has cast 3 Body Problem's Eve Ridley as Ruthye Mary Knolle. The 12-year-old's star is on the rise after playing Follower in D.B. Weiss, David Benioff, and Alexander Woo's splashy Netflix series but this is her biggest role to date.
As the trade explains, "In [the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic book], the bad guy is Krem of the Yellow Hill, who kills a young alien girl’s father. She draws Supergirl into the conflict. Knolle is a noble and honorable warrior who travels across the galaxy with Supergirl to hunt Krem for killing her father in cold blood."
This movie appears to be a direct adaptation of Tom King and Bilquis Evely's comic of the same name, so Ridley will likely have a major role as Ruthye in this story alongside Milly Alcock's Kara Zor-El.

Superman wrapped shooting earlier this summer, leaving filmmaker James Gunn close to a year for post-production. Cameras may have stopped rolling, but Deadline brings word today that Alan Tudyk has joined the cast.
While his role has not been disclosed, the actor is already playing Creature Commandos' Doctor Phosphorus so may show up as a live-action version of the Task Force M character.
However, given Tudyk's long list of voiceover roles, we're going to take a wild guess and suggest he could be lending his voice to the Green Lantern Corps' Ch'p (a talking alien squirrel).
Tudyk has a long list of credits to his name but Superman is far from the only big project he has on the horizon. We'll hear him in Moana 2 later this year and then in Andor season 2 as K2-so next summer.
It's been a busy week for Dcu casting news, with Kyle Chandler...

Yesterday, the trades confirmed a recent rumor that The Old Guard actor Matthias Schoenaerts will play the villainous Krem of the Yellow Hills in the upcoming Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow movie, but did you know that he almost suited-up as a much bigger DC Comics character back in the early days of the Dceu?
In a 2021 interview, director Zack Snyder revealed that Ben Affleck was having some reservations about taking on the role of the Dark Knight in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and the filmmaker had Schoenaerts lined up just in case the Daredevil actor decided to decline the offer.
"I was talking to (Matthias) a lot about it," said Snyder. "He never got in the suit, but I did do a bunch of mock-ups of him, because Ben was on the fence. And I don't blame him. Everyone should be on the fence when you're asked, 'Do you want to play Batman?...

It’s unclear who Schoenaerts will play, but the villain in the comics is Krem of the Yellow Hills, who encounters Supergirl after he murders the father of a young girl.
Craig Gillespie is directing “Supergirl,” which is slated to release in theaters on June 26, 2026. Plot details haven’t been confirmed, but DC Studio’s co-chairman James Gunn teased that “Woman of Tomorrow” is “much more hardcore” than prior iterations of the character, who is Superman’s cousin.

DC Studios has found its “Supergirl” villain in Matthias Schoenaerts, who will play antagonist Krem of the Yellow Hills in the upcoming movie.
“I, Tonya” and “Cruella” filmmaker Craig Gillespie is set to direct. Playwright and screenwriter Ana Nogueira wrote the script.
Production on the film is set to begin in late 2024/early 2025 after DC Studios co-ceo and creative head James Gunn finishes shooting his “Superman” film, which is set for release in summer 2025. “House of the Dragon” star Milly Alcock will play the superheroine of Krypton in a story that will be adapted from Tom King’s 2022 DC comic series “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.”
In King’s graphic novel, Krem of the Yellow Hills triggers Supergirl’s pursuit after shooting her dog, which echoes the plot of the first “John Wick” movie.

Belgian actor Matthias Schoenaerts has nabbed the plum villain role in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, which Craig Gillespie is directing for DC Studios.
House of the Dragon star Milly Alcock is toplining the superhero feature as Kara Zor-El, the cousin of Superman.
The feature is inspired by the Tom King and Bilquis Evely comic and will depart from the earnest take on the character audiences may know from the CW Supergirl series. The story hews closer to a grand science-fiction adventure than standard superhero fare as the comic told of a young alien girl who seeks Supergirl’s help in exacting revenge for the killing of her family.
The villain in the comic was Krem of the Yellow Hills, the man who kills the girl’s father. Supergirl is drawn into the conflict when he injured everyone’s favorite superpet, Krypto.

Are ballerina dancers Hollywood’s new hotness? With the John Wick spinoff Ballerina, starring Ana de Armas, pirouetting into theaters next year and the latest indie action film Ballerina Overdrive coming from 87North and Gulfstream Pictures, it could be time for me to slip into a tutu and show my sweet moves to some studios heads. While I will likely keep stretching along a long bar, Uma Thurman is joining the cast of Ballerina Overdrive, an upcoming survivalist action film.
Uma Thurman joins Lana Condor, Iris Apatow, Millicent Simmonds, Maddie Ziegler, and Avantika. Previously, Lena Headey, Yara Shahidi, and Isabela Merced were supposed to star in Ballerina Overdrive but have since stepped away.
Vicky Jewson directs Ballerina Overdrive from a script by Kate Freund. The plot revolves around a troupe of ballerinas who find themselves fighting for survival as they attempt to escape from a remote inn after their bus...

It's been just over four years since Gina Prince-Bythewood's action-packed film adaptation of Greg Rucka's "The Old Guard" comic was released on Netflix, and there have been rumblings about a potential sequel — and maybe even a third entry in the franchise — almost since the first movie debuted. That film, which was about a group of immortal warriors led by Charlize Theron, is one of the best Netflix original action movies the streamer has ever produced. That may sound like damning with faint praise, but I legitimately enjoyed the movie; it's a great showcase for Theron both physically and emotionally, Kiki Layne did a great job as the audience surrogate character, and the action is crisp and well-executed.
There was a flurry of updates about "The Old Guard 2" back in 2021 and 2022, but since then, there's been relative silence about the project, leading many to wonder if the sequel...

Fans of the immortal mercenary movie “The Old Guard” have been eagerly awaiting news about the sequel for over three years now. The first film was a huge hit for Netflix when it came out in 2020, with over 72 million households watching it in the first four weeks! Work on the follow-up movie has hit some bumps, but it seems like things are finally wrapping up.
Charlize Theron, who plays Andy the leader of the group, talked about the delays at an event recently. She said Netflix went through some big changes while they were working on the sequel. “Our post-production literally shut down after only five weeks of work,” Theron explained. But don’t worry – the actress assured fans that filming and editing are back on track. “We finally got it going again and I’m really excited for everyone to see it,” she said.

The last update on The Old Guard 2 was the realization that Netflix doesn't appear to be moving forward with plans to release the sequel in 2024, despite the fact the filming wrapped on the project over a year ago.
When the streamer released a sizzle reel highlighting all of the new shows and movies hitting the platform in 2024, footage from The Old Guard 2 was conspicuously absent.
In a recent interview with Variety, the film's star, Charlize Theron, revealed that Netflix halted post-production work on the sequel but she's confident that the film will eventually be released.
Said Theron, "Netflix went through quite a changeover. We got kind of stuck in that and our post-production shut down, I think, five weeks into it. They were going through a lot of changes, and I totally understand it. We finally picked it back up and I’m really excited about it. It’s really good.

The Old Guard 2 is one film that the actress looks forward to in her future filmography. It is also possible that the films could be made into a trilogy, with the second film leaving scope for a third potential film.

The Charlize Theron action film The Old Guard was a hit for the Netflix streaming service when it was released in 2020, but the sequel The Old Guard 2 has had an unexpectedly bumpy ride while making its way out into the world. It went into production back in 2022, and filming had to be halted briefly after a fire broke out at the film studio where the movie had been shooting; Rome, Italy’s historic Cinecittà Studios. Then there was a shake-up at Netflix during post-production, so the project got shut down for a while – but Theron has told Variety that The Old Guard 2 is now back on track and coming soon.
Theron said, “Netflix went through quite a changeover. We got kind of stuck in that and our post-production shut down, I think, five weeks into it. They were going through a lot of changes, and I totally understand it.

Charlize Theron insists “The Old Guard 2” will be released “soon.”
The Oscar winner explains that the action sequel, which wrapped shooting about two years ago, has faced a lengthy delay due in part to a change in Netflix leadership. “Netflix went through quite a changeover,” Theron told me at her Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project Block Party on Saturday. “We got kind of stuck in that and our post-production shut down, I think, five weeks into it.”
The actors and writers strikes are also said to have kept the film from being on schedule. Even so, Theron never worried that the movie could be shelved.
“They were going through a lot of changes, and I totally understand it,” she said. “We finally picked it back up and I’m really excited about it.”
The first “Old Guard” was released in 2020, with the streamer announcing that it reached 72 million households in its first four weeks.

It was important to creator Will Tracy that the country Elena Vernham (Kate Winslet) misrules in “The Regime” be as mercurial and as unknowable as she is; culturally, it needed to fit into both Western and Eastern Europe. There needed to be a sense of a long history in the design of the palace and Elena’s public image without dipping into actual world history. But the one thing Tracy was sure it didn’t need was a name.
“I didn’t have to bend myself into pretzel shapes to avoid coming up with a name. It just never, never occurred to me and never seemed necessary,” Tracy told IndieWire on an episode of the Filmmaker Toolkit podcast. “It seemed to add to the enjoyment and mystery of the show, that feeling of when are we, where are we?”
“The Regime” deftly balances which characters we feel close to by who feels the most unmoored.

“Don’t worry. He’s what we want,” exclaims deposed despot Elena Vernham (Kate Winslet) to her last loyal aide Herbert Zubak (Matthias Schoenaerts) of a citizen who has come to their assistance in The Regime finale. “A beautiful perfect idiot who will do anything for me.”
Debuting March 3, the six-part realpolitik satire, created and executive produced by Succession alum Will Tracy, sees Oscar and Emmy winner Winslet return to HBO in an often hilarious role as the vainglorious Elena. Traversing a year in the life of a crumbling authoritarian regime, the timely The Regime also stars Hugh Grant, Marth Plimpton, Oscar nominee Andrea Louise Riseborough and Guillaume Gallienne.
The finale, “Don’t Yet Rejoice,” written by Tracy and directed by Jessica Hobbs, brings The Regime to an unexpected conclusion.

Matthias Schoenaerts had worked with Kate Winslet before, but never like this. Never as a lackey engaging in a psychosexual power play with a capricious dictator convinced bacteria is flooding her palace. It almost goes without saying that The Regime is far less restrained than Schoenaerts and Winslet’s previous screen romance, the largely forgotten 2014 period film A Little Chaos.
“We both were like, ‘Ok, so what is this mad piece of work that we’re reading?’ ” Schoenaerts says of his first conversation with Winslet about the HBO limited series. “ ‘Is it a comedy? Is it a drama? Is it both?’ We were trying to figure out what the tone was going to be.”
Will Tracy, who created and co-wrote the show, has a résumé heavy on humorous genre hybrids, including Succession, Last Week Tonight With John Oliver and The Menu. According to Schoenaerts, Tracy was careful never to define...

In 2022, Kate Winslet went to the London home of director Stephen Frears to discuss HBO’s political satire “The Regime.”
She’d been cast in the role of Elena Vernham, a narcissistic European autocrat, and Frears had been pinpointed by the production as a potential director.
“I was offered a cup of tea, which I then ended up making myself because he clearly had no intention of making the tea for me at all,” Winslet says. “In fact, he didn’t even seem to know where the cups were.” Over the tea and some chocolate biscuits, she asked the director how he believed Elena should be played.
“He said to me, ‘Well, it needs to be quite high,’” Winslet recalls. “And I didn’t have a fucking clue what he meant. And as I walked away, I realized I totally knew. It was his way of saying, ‘Go big or go home.

Hard-pressed as one would be these days to think of a situation in which a bungling dictator turns a nation inside out, HBO’s savage satirical comedy “The Regime” takes this idea to the mat.
Kate Winslet assumes the role of an ill-spoken, environmentally paranoid but impeccably appointed chancellor who runs an unnamed nation in a compound-like palace with the help of a rough-and-tumble soldier (Matthias Schoenaerts) whom she tasks with everything from odd jobs to sexual gratification.
Production designer Kave Quinn used massive interiors to create a seemingly never-ending labyrinth of rooms and catacombs. “The project involved a lot of research and the observation of the ridiculousness of, for instance, a picture of Vladimir Putin addressing some of his colleagues, and how far away they have to be,” Quinn said. “I’ve seen interviews with him belittling people, so I think the use of space is quite critical.”

“We never quite know if his intentions are good or manipulative… that is very appealing to work with because it allows you to keep people guessing,” remarks Matthias Schoenaerts about his starring role on the HBO limited series “The Regime.” The actor plays Corporal Zubak, a man with a violent past who is summoned to work at the palace for the chancellor of a fictional European nation. As he describes, the character is “somebody trying to move from dark to light,” who is “coming out of a very dark place” and “gets the opportunity to really profoundly change his life.” As a result, “He’s not one dimensional.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.

It was clear to most other people about five years ago when the bold one-two punch of "Call Me By Your Name" and "Suspiria" made moviegoers sit up and pay attention. And it's more clear than ever now, with the release of the director's latest (and reportedly biggest-budgeted) effort, the endlessly thrilling Zendaya-led sports drama "Challengers." Film after film, Guadagnino manages to tap into some hidden corners of our hearts by telling stories that are evocative and colorful, musical and sensual, messy and true.
Though Guadagnino has gained more attention in recent years, the filmmaker has actually been working since the '90s and has by now made eight narrative (or meta-narrative) features, a TV show, and several documentaries and shorts.

HBO’s political satire miniseries, The Regime, ended with a bang. A totally unexpected and twisted ending, the series finale was yet rooted in actuality. Having sacrificed Herbert Zubak for another grab at power, Chancellor Elena’s character seems to have not undergone any change.
