AMC has dropped off the official trailer for the sixth and final season of the highly-acclaimed Breaking Bad prequel series Better Call Saul, starring Bob Odenkirk. “Whatever happens next, it’s not going to go down the way you think it is,” warns Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks) during the trailer.

Bill Murray has opened up about his axed Batman film from the ’80s, which also saw Eddie Murphy express his interest in the movie. Speaking to Yahoo Entertainment for a new installment of The Never-Weres, Murray shared, “I talked to Eddie Murphy about it, and Eddie wanted to play Batman. That’s as far as that conversation went.” If Murphy was very adamant to take on the role of the Caped Crusader, however, the Ghostbusters staple would have refused to portray his right-hand man, Robin.”I don’t wanna be the Boy Wonder to anybody,” he explained. “Maybe much earlier when I was a boy. But it was too late for that by the ’80s. Also, I couldn’t do the outfit. Eddie looks good in purple, and I look good in purple. In red and green, I look like one of Santa’s elves.

Disney has unveiled a first look at Tom Hanks in the upcoming live-action remake of the 1940 animated classic, Pinocchio. The veteran actor is set to take on the role of Geppetto, the childless woodworker who crafts Pinocchio to life. Unlike the Geppetto in the original film, Hanks’ portrayal sees the character without glasses and with curlier hair, but still maintains the greying moustache. Disney’s first-look image also gives a peek at a non-animated Pinocchio, who is designed similarly to its animated counterpart with the yellow hat and red feather, pointy nose and red clothing. Joining Hanks in the cast is The Haunting of Bly Manor’s Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, who will be lending his voice to bring Pinocchio to life. The film will be helmed by Robert Zemeckis, who also co-wrote the scree...

Scheduled to premiere exclusively on Disney+ on May 25, the Star Wars spin-off will see Ewan McGregor reprise his role as Kenobi alongside Hayden Christensen’s Darth Vader.

An upcoming The Batman spin-off being developed for HBO Max will focus on Arkham Asylum, director Matt Reeves has shared. The original idea for the series was to focus on corruption occurring within the Gotham City Police Department and would have taken place as a prequel set during Batman’s first year fighting crime, Games Radar reported. “The GCDP thing, that story has kind of evolved,” Reeves told The Cyber Nerds. “We’ve actually now moving more into the realm of exactly what would happen in the world of Arkham as it relates coming off of our movie, and some of the characters, again in their origins that you would – almost leaning into the idea of – it’s like a horror movie or a haunted house that is Arkham.” “The idea of, again the way that Gotham is a character in the movie, I really ...
