After LeBron James shared his thoughts about the ending of Squid Game, Hwang Dong-Hyuk, the creator of the wildly popular South Korean Netflix series, has now responded to the NBA star. LeBron made his comments during a post-game press conference while talking to his Los Angeles Lakers teammate Anthony Davis about the show. Speaking to The Guardian, Hwang addressed LeBron’s criticism of Squid Game and ideas about a sequel, while delivering a not-so-subtle jab at Space Jam 2. “Have you seen Space Jam 2? LeBron James is cool and can say what he wants. I respect that. I’m very thankful he watched the whole series. But I wouldn’t change my ending. That’s my ending.

Bill Murray Hints at MCU Debut in ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’
Bill Murray could be making his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. According to translated quotes by Variety, The French Dispatch actor disclosed the news to German publication Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ). “You know, recently I made a Marvel movie,” he said, supposedly seemingly regretting sharing the news, then adding, “I probably won’t tell you, but never mind.” Murray indirectly explained that director Peyton Reed was the reason why he decided to try out the MCU project, despite its films not really being in his wheelhouse. “In any case, some people were quite surprised why I decided on such a project,” he shared. “But for me the thing was quite clear: I got to know the director — and really liked him very much. He was funny, humble, everythin...
‘Eternals’ Director Chloé Zhao on Including First LGBTQ Relationship in a Marvel Film
This post contains spoilers for Marvel’s Eternals. Director Chloé Zhao recently spoke to Collider regarding bringing the first love scene and first LGBTQ relationship to the Marvel cinematic universe.

Following the premiere of the film, critics worldwide discussed the film’s brief sex scene between two of the m...

Interpol and David Lynch Launch Collaborative NFT Series
Back in 2011, Interpol and David Lynch joined forces for a special project at Coachella where they overlaid the director’s short film I Touch a Red Button Man with the band’s 2010 single “Lights.” Now, Interpol are releasing that collaboration as a limited series of eight NFTs through HIFI Labs. Lynch X Interpol includes newly recorded versions of “Lights” featuring [Interpol lead guitarist] Daniel Kessler on piano.

Eternals’ Abundance of Heroes Can’t Fight Through Its Dense Exposition: Review
The Pitch: For millennia, intergalactic beings known as Eternals have defended humanity from the predatory Deviants. Once their mission is complete, however, they’re left stranded on Earth, living amongst humans through the ages as they watch our evolution while holding firm to their code of non-interference.

This may not be the happy reunion they’d hoped for, though, as revelations about their own pasts may redirect their future — as well as our planet’s. Sir, See the Potential: On paper, there’s a ton to be excited...
