Does your Apple TV+ membership come and go with new seasons of “Ted Lasso”? [Jeff Foxworthy Voice:] Then you might be a “Show-Chaser.”
Serial churners are so 2023 — 2024 is the year of the show-chaser, according to research firm Antenna. These folks currently may be out hunting baby reindeer. In its first four days of availability, “Baby Reindeer” was viewed 2.6 million times, according to Netflix. The following week, its first full one, the limited series from (and starring) Richard Gadd exploded to 13.3 million views — more than a five-fold increase. That tally nearly doubled the next week to 22 million views.
“Baby Reindeer” is a sensation fueled by word of mouth — and by word on TikTok — the type that could singlehandedly bring Netflix some new subscribers. But these hypothetical members are not very likely to stick around; they’re show-chasers, an (at least) semi-undesirable subset of serial churners.

Thor Star Chris Hemsworth Reveals Whether He And Brother Liam Were Competing For God Of Thunder Role
When Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston were cast in Thor, they were largely dismissed as "nobodies." It seems Marvel Studios wanted unknowns, though, as we know of at least a few other names considered for the McU's God of Thunder, including Chris' brother, Liam.
He'd go on to star in The Hunger Games movies, famously dated Miley Cyrus, and is now gearing up to take over from Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia in the final two seasons of The Witcher.
Chris, now a major movie star with several franchises to his name, has opened up on both his and Liam's attempts to be cast as Thor, revealing that while they both auditioned, they were never going up against each other simultaneously.
Asked if he was worried about Liam landing the role instead of him, the Avengers: Endgame star responded, "No, 'cause I was told I didn't have the part at that point,...

During the Paris Fan Festival, Taz Skylar, the actor cast to portray Sanji in Netflix’s One Piece Live-Action series, opened up about the initial wave of negative comments he faced on social media following the casting announcement.
During the festival’s Q/A session, Taz recounted his very first exposure to criticism and it was around the time when the One Piece casting news came out. He revealed that his friends informed him that his name was trending on Twitter alongside references to his resemblance to rapper Eminem.
“The best way to get me to do something is tell me I can’t do it,” Skylar stated, revealing that rather than being deterred by the negative feedback, he found motivation in the challenge. “I remember I laughed because I was like, you know what, they have a point. I do kind of look a little bit like Em,” he added.

James Gunn is debunking a conspiracy theory that alleges he already knew about Henry Cavill’s Superman re-casting while he was promoting “The Suicide Squad.” That timeline does not make sense, Gunn suggested in a post on Threads, as he was not in charge of DC Studios in 2021 when “The Suicide Squad” released. It wasn’t until Dec. 2022 that DC Studios announced Gunn and Peter Safran as its new bosses.
Some DC fans were accusing Gunn of lying about his involvement in Cavill’s Superman exit after actor Nathan Fillion was quoted telling Collider that Gunn told him at “The Suicide Squad” premiere party in 2021 that he would be cast as Guy Gardner (aka The Green Lantern) in a new Superman movie.
“We were actually at the premiere party after ‘Suicide Squad’ and he [James Gunn] was in a huge crowd of people,” Fillion was quoted saying. “We saw each other in the crowd,...

It was truly a shocking day when fans found out that X-Men ‘97 showrunner Beau DeMayo was fired from the show a few days before the series premiere. No concrete explanation was given, and he also remained silent about the issue for a long time.

Beau DeMayo has worked with various different studios for the multiple projects the writer has been part of. Guillermo Del Toro once went on stage to demand respect for animated projects. For a long time, anything shown visually through an animated medium would automatically be assumed to be targeted towards children. Many of the best and most well-thought projects go under the radar simply because of the medium they are used in.

Misconceptions fly around just as fast as rumors do, from cartoons to anime and animated movies in general, all of these were disregarded not because their stories lacked complexity but because of the medium. DeMayo takes exactly that into consideration, shedding light to another masterpiece: Avatar: The Legend of Korra.

Beau DeMayo’s controversial firing some weeks before the premiere of X-Men ’97 was a huge point of discussion among fans. While various rumors have been circulated, the true reason is unknown. DeMayo had continued talking about the show as the episodes drop weekly and many fans are also loving the narrative he had built for the X-Men team.

While future seasons of the show have been greenlit, DeMayo is unlikely to return as showrunner. His recent Marvel firing and his past fiasco with The Witcher series (comments made by one of his co-writers on the show), signal a problematic reputation that Marvel wouldn’t want to associate with further.

Beau DeMayo served as the creator of X-Men ’97 for Marvel Studios. However, DeMayo came into the limelight for the wrong reasons when he was fired from the series shortly before its premiere in March 2024. DeMayo previously worked as a writer on Netflix’s The Witcher, where he wrote two episodes of the fantasy series.

According to reports, DeMayo’s work in the franchise was slammed by his The Witcher colleague, Matthew D’Ambrosio, for problematic treatment of a gay character. However, DeMayo has defended his decision, albeit poorly, by using his privilege as a gay writer. Here is what D’Ambrosio said about DeMayo killing off a gay character.

Being the most expensive TV show ever made comes with obvious perks, but it also comes with a lot of expectations. Unfortunately, in the case of Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, which was released in 2022, those expectations ended up being completely dashed.
While some fans are still hoping and praying that the show will make some changes for its second season and fix all the problems with its character arcs and storytelling, others aren't so positive. Some of the Lord of the Rings fandom is even afraid that the show will be canceled after all the backlash it has received.
But don't let the panic set in just yet. While the reviews of the show speak for themselves, there are plenty of reasons for Prime Video to continue production.
Ring of Power’s Humongous Budget
It's no secret that the show's budget remains one of its most discussed aspects.

As far as superhero films are concerned, the aura of the character is not just in the powers they possess but also in their appearance. The costume, therefore, is a key component that adds to the appeal of these icons from the comic book world. From Marvel’s Spider-Man to DC’s Superman, costume designers in Hollywood have pushed the envelope to bring out the nuances of these characters.

Designer James Acheson has proved that he is the authority in this regard, having designed Tobey Maguire’s 2002 suit for Spider-Man and Henry Cavill’s Man of Steel costume. While Zack Snyder’s chequered relationship with audiences restricted some fans from appreciating the modern Superman suit, the realization that both these outfits were designed by the same person, is making them look at these costumes in a new light.

Guy Ritchie has been maintaining a consistent success rate with his films ever since his debut with Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. However, his recent ventures like The Covenant and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare have not fared well at the box office. The situation seems to be similar for the Russo brothers post their hit Marvel run.

Their non-Marvel projects like Cherry and The Gray Man have not resonated with audiences. The Russos and Ritchie are returning to Disney for the live-action adaptation of Hercules.

Marvel Studio’s X-Men ’97 has been wreaking havoc across the fandom for its incredible storyline, marvellous characters, nostalgic theme, and adrenaline-packed action. While the animated series continues to garner praise, many have been wondering why Beau DeMayo, the series’ showrunner, was allegedly fired by Marvel.

Just a week before X-Men ’97’s release, DeMayo and Marvel apparently parted ways. While that does seem to be as concerning, it becomes more concerning given DeMayo’s history with Henry Cavill’s The Witcher.

Henry Cavill’s exit from the cast of The Witcher stirred up serious controversy for many different reasons. One of the biggest was due to the show’s constant disloyalty to its source material. Since the actor was a big fan of the books and the games, he couldn’t stand by and watch something he was passionate about, getting trashed.
Henry Cavill as Geralt
Despite many fans agreeing with the actor, some were confused about who to believe, with reports of Cavill being a menace on set floating around at the same time. However, recently, someone else who was a part of the Netflix series spoke up about something similar going on in the writers’ room.

Hayao Miyazaki’s stories have a lot of themes that one might also find in J.R.R. Tolkien’s work. There is a healthy respect for the environment and a general idea of hope in both their works. However, Miyazaki has come out saying why he hates the Lord of the Rings films, and his argument could actually cause fans to think about what he is saying.
A still from Lord of the Rings
Miyazaki’s issues with movies and fantasy like Lord of the Rings stem from the way in which the characters and themes are represented in such stories, usually portraying good and evil as extreme opposites that need to be solved with violence over everything else. Miyazaki revealed how he felt about these types of conflict and they correlate to fantasy fiction in general.

Netflix was building up their series The Witcher, which is inspired by a series of novels by Andrzej Sapkowski, to be a major franchise. In addition to the flagship show, they made the anime film The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf and a prequel mini-series called The Witcher: Blood Origin, with another anime movie called The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep and a couple other spin-offs in the works… but now it looks like it’s all winding down. As The Witcher season 4 heads into production with Liam Hemsworth taking over the role of Geralt of Rivia from former star Henry Cavill, Netflix has announced that season 5 will be the end of the show. And while The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep is still expected to be released through the streaming service by the end of 2024, Redanian Intelligence and What’s on Netflix have learned that two other spin-offs, one...

The overwhelming praise for Prime Video's Fallout has demonstrated that inspired and absurd video game shows can appeal to modern audiences.
While we're accustomed darker and more serious adaptations, Fallout proves there is room on the schedule for many thematic differences from the gaming world to move to TV. But not all attempts are equal.
Many video game adaptations come across as dark and grim as the show creators try to make their show seem edgy and aggressive, even if the game itself was not.
Sometimes, that backfires on them. But how did that become the prevailing tone in the first place?
We can look at Halo as an example. The Paramount+ series tried to bring a more serious note when all the fans really wanted to see was The Masterchief beat the covenant -- without ever seeing his face. Tying a leading man to the helmet, though, was a giveaway that change was ahead.

Where the series crew fails, the fans come – Reddit users offered their own ways to improve the criticized show. It is unlikely that these tips will be seen and considered by anyone, but we can dream, right?
1. Fire the Showrunners
If you had a $1 billion project to make, would you put two rookies in charge who had never worked on anything this big? Jeffrey Bezos did just that. John D. Payne and Patrick McKay have no experience making fantasy projects or expensive TV series.
They only have one major film in their portfolio – Star Trek Beyond, which, let's face it, was not very well made and did not do very well at the box office.

Despite ‘Creature Commandos’ being released first, James Gunn revealed that he considers ‘Superman’ bound to be released in 2025 as the true start of the Dcu. When the project was first announced we knew nothing about it save that Henry Cavill won’t be reprising his role as Clark Kent and that Gunn is looking for a younger Superman.
He however remained adamant that the movie won’t feature Superman’s origin story since it’s been done to death on-screen, and the live-action adaptations don’t need young Superman once more. He was also clear enough that he is not making a young ‘Superman’ movie, just a ‘Superman’ movie on his private profile on Threads.

Although ‘Creature Commandos’ came out first, James Gunn considers ‘Superman,’ slated for a 2025 release, as the true beginning of the Dcu. When the project was initially announced, little was known about it except that Henry Cavill wouldn’t reprise his role as Clark Kent, and Gunn was seeking a younger actor for Superman.
However, Gunn was firm in his stance that the film wouldn’t delve into Superman’s origin story, as it’s been extensively covered on-screen already, and he didn’t want to retread familiar ground. He clarified on his private profile on Threads that he’s not making a movie about a young Superman, but rather a Superman movie.
Now, it appears that Gunn has had a change of heart, as a recent casting call indicates they’re searching for young actors to portray Clark Kent. This suggests the possibility of flashbacks in the movie.

It’s been over a decade since the launch of Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, and it still rules the minds and hearts of countless fans. The game which was released in 2011 continues to be spoken about highly even in 2024 for multiple reasons. The game was built on Bethesda’s native Creation Engine, which was rebuilt specifically for the game.
Elder Scrolls V Skyrim
It gives players a more unique and diverse open world compared to its predecessors including Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. Considered by many as one of the best games ever made, Skyrim received critical acclaim, majorly for its character advancement, world design, visuals, and dual-wielding combat. However, there was another reason, often overlooked, which proves why this game is one of the studio’s best games.

It's finally happening: whether you've been waiting for the follow-up to Netflix's The Witcher or not, it's coming, and production is well underway. Without revealing any specific details, Netflix has already started actively promoting the upcoming fourth season.
Recently, the streaming service released a video of a table read that featured the first appearance of none other than the new Geralt of Rivia, Liam Hemsworth, who replaced Henry Cavill.
While many fans don't need lore-friendly explanations for the recasting, the writers seem to be banking on it, but it remains a mystery how exactly it will be accomplished. However, the new actors present at the table read may explain the transition from Cavill to Hemsworth.

Guy Ritchie has directed everything from low-budget hits like the crime caper "Snatch" to the $1 billion monster hit that was 2019's live-action "Aladdin" remake. But the director has also been behind some pretty big misfires, most notably 2017's "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword." Ritchie has been on a tear lately though, releasing three movies in theaters over the last 13 months. Unfortunately for the filmmaker and all involved, every single one of those movies has disappointed -- if not outright flopped -- at the box office.
This past weekend saw the release of "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare" in theaters in the U.S. Released by Lionsgate, the World War II film took in just $8.9 million, placing fourth on the charts behind "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" ($9.5 million), which was in its fourth weekend. That's a relatively lousy start for a movie with a $60 million production budget. Granted, Lionsgate...

Film adaptations are great, but sometimes nothing can do justice to a novel quite like a full-blown TV series. It provides all the visual possibilities of a movie along with the added benefits of a long runtime and a chapter-style episodic structure.
Shows inspired by books can be found across a broad assortment of genres, from the memoir-based Orange Is the New Black to legal series like The Lincoln Lawyer, fantasy like The Witcher, and period romance like Bridgerton, just to name a few. And while audiences are watching around the world, these adaptations can also spark renewed interest in their source material, with books returning to bestseller lists years or sometimes even decades after they originally hit shelves.

Guy Ritchie is indeed one of the most commended filmmakers in Hollywood, who has given some of the most cinematic masterpieces to audiences worldwide. But even he has one notorious habit that could lead the actors working on his projects to some serious trouble, just like what Eiza González almost ended up in recently while working on The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare with him.

This infamous habit is none other than his rule of thumb, which is basically to prepare to be unprepared while shooting, considering all the changes he makes on the spot with the dialogue and stuff. However, fortunately, González managed to escape the trouble while shooting this Henry Cavill-starrer through only one clever move she took while working on her accent for the film.

There were high hopes for Henry Cavill’s latest spy thriller The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare which had its premier in New York on April 13th, and released across the country on April 19th. After the failure of the actor’s previous film Argylle, fans have been eager to see the actor strike gold in his second collaboration with Guy Ritchie.

While the film started positively by earning great reviews and ratings from critics and preview audiences, it looks like luck has run out for Cavill and Ritchie at the box office following its public release across the USA. The movie has achieved a dubious record held by Argylle as far as domestic box office collection is concerned.

Reacher star Alan Ritchson recently got to star in Guy Ritchie’s spy comedy The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. The actor played the role of a real-life Danish soldier Anders Lassen, who was part of the special operatives executive, which was started by Winston Churchill during World War II. The film also starred Henry Cavill and Henry Golding.
Ritchson reportedly had a hand in designing and pitching some of the action sequences in the film. He mentioned how he and his stuntman Ryan Tarran would come up with interesting ideas based on the preparation he had done for the character, and pitch it to Ritchie. The actor specified one risky scene, for which he got his team to film for Ritchie to understand.

Henry Cavill’s role as Nazi-killing commando soldier, Major Gus March-Phillips in The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare required one unique training for his role. While Cavill killed it in the gunfire and action scenes acting like a madman with his tongue out, it was his twirly stylish mustache that needed training. It appears that the mustache was a more difficult job than executing the action scenes.

Henry Cavill is one of the most beloved Hollywood stars around at present. The Man of Steel actor has managed to win hearts with his acting chops just as much as he has with his charming personality. Moreover, he has become an idol of sorts to young boys, not just with his choice of roles, but with his actions too.
Cavill is a gentleman through and through, something that has been quite apparent since he broke out in the industry. He had a slip-up during the #MeToo movement, but other than that one instance, the British actor has been very respectful of everyone. Moreover, Guy Ritchie just confirmed what many have always felt about him: Cavill is chivalrous.

Netflix’s The Witcher has had quite a wretched run so far. The initial excitement of having Andrzej Sapkowski’s epic saga adapted with its biggest fan as a lead star quickly wore off when it turned out not quite keen on following the source material. Three seasons in, Henry Cavill quit The Witcher, and Liam Hemsworth was announced as the new Geralt of Rivia.
Hemsworth hasn’t even played the iconic monster hunter in a single episode yet, but we already know exactly when he’ll hang his two swords like his predecessor did.

Yesterday, The Witcher’s team took to the show’s official X (formerly Twitter) account to treat fans to a big update. According to them, Season 4 has finally entered production: it will be Liam Hemsworth’s first outing as the iconic Geralt of Rivia after Henry Cavill’s leave from the show.
