Morpheus Hunts His Nightmares in New Trailer for The Sandman: Watch
The Sandman will officially bring us a dream next month, but we’ve got a lot to look forward to now thanks to Netflix’s latest trailer for the Neil Gaiman comic book adaptation. The newest trailer focuses on the conflict between Morpheus (Tom Sturridge) and a rogue nightmare that has escaped to the waking world, the Corinthian (Boyd Holbrook). “My creations do not walk among the living killing mortals for pleasure,” Morpheus says in the new trailer, though his words are undercut by violent spurts of blood. Meanwhile, the Corinthian is having the time of his un-life. “Oh, you don’t think dreams can’t die? Let’s find out,” he smirks. Check out the trailer below. Based on Gaiman’s DC series of the same name, The Sandman premieres on August 5th and co-stars Gwendoline Christie as Lucifer,...
Tatiana Maslany’s Looking a Little Green in Full She-Hulk: Attorney at Law Trailer: Watch
There has been no shortage of Disney+ Marvel content this year, and the expanding Marvel universe continues to explode exponentially. So, with the critically-acclaimed Ms. Marvel having come to a close, it’s time to make way for Marvel’s newest hero — who also happens to be a lawyer. We already got our first look at She-Hulk: Attorney at Law earlier this year, which will introduce Avenger Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo)’s cousin, Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany), who is both a young attorney and also, well, a Hulk. But Saturday, during Marvel’s presentation at San Diego Comic-Con, we got a full trailer, as well as the tease that Charlie Cox would be appearing in the show once again as lawyer Matt Murdock/blind superhero Daredevil. Plus, Doctor Strange‘s Benedict Wong will return as fan-...
Daredevil: Born Again: Marvel Officially Announces Disney+ Series Starring Charlie Cox
Marvel has officially announced Daredevil: Born Again, an 18-episode Disney+ series based on the classic Frank Miller comic storyline. The unveiling came during Marvel head Kevin Feige’s preview of Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe at Comic-Con. Daredevil: Born Again will arrive in Spring of 2024, and — big news for big Daredevil fans — Charlie Cox will reprise the role of Matt Murdock. Better yet, Vincent D’Onofrio will return as the brutal villain Kingpin. This will hardly be the end of Daredevil’s involvement in the MCU. Cox will be lending his voice to the character in the animated series Spider-Man: Freshman Year, and the new trailer for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law confirmed that the hero in red will soon be seeing green.

New Avengers and MCU Fantastic Four Movies Confirmed, Release Dates Announced
As expected, Marvel rolled out some huge news during its hour at San Diego Comic-Con this weekend, with mastermind Kevin Feige essentially rolling out what to expect from Phases 4-6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Key to that announcement was the long-awaited confirmation that a new Fantastic Four was in the works for 2024, and that Phase 6 of the MCU would include two new Avengers films: Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars. Adaptations of Fantastic Four have of course been attempted multiple times in recent years, when the rights to those characters were still owned by an independent Fox. But this would be the Four’s first official entry into the current MCU (beyond John Krasinski’s cameo as Reed Richards in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness). Fantastic Four ...
Charlie Cox Will Voice Daredevil in Spider-Man: Freshman Year
In news that could have broad implications for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Charlie Cox will voice Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil, in the animated series Spider-Man: Freshman Year. Marvel revealed the casting choice at Comic Con, where they also unveiled that the series is set for release in 2024. Cox played the role on Daredevil (2015–2018), The Defenders (2017), and in the film Spider-Man: No Way Home. A fan favorite, Cox’s future in the MCU has been much discussed. Keeping him in the role — even for an animated series aimed at a younger crowd — would seem to suggest that Marvel has big plans for his future. Marvel mastermind Kevin Feige hinted at as much last year. “If you were to see Daredevil in upcoming things, Charlie Cox, yes, would be the actor playing Daredevil...
Vince McMahon Announces Retirement from WWE
Vince McMahon, the longtime chairman and CEO of WWE who is credited with bringing professional wrestling into the mainstream and establishing the careers of Hollywood A-listers like Dwayne Johnson, John Cena, and Dave Bautista, has announced his retirement. McMahon’s departure from WWE comes amidst an internal investigation into allegations that he paid multiple women to keep quiet about alleged affairs and misconduct. According to the Wall Street Journal, at least $12 million dollars in hush money was paid to four different women who were formerly associated with the WWE over the last 16 years. “As I approach 77 years old, I feel it’s time for me to retire as Chairman and CEO of WWE,” McMahon said in a statement. “Throughout the years, it’s been a privilege to help WWE bring you joy,...

Nick Cave Pens Letter About Grief and His Favorite Contestant on Love Island
Nick Cave has opened up on his personal website about his surprise connection to a contestant on Love Island and how the young man’s parents helped him and his family grieve the 2015 death of his son, Arthur. The story was the result of two fairly innocuous inquires from a pair of fans named Maisie and Sharon, who wrote in to The Red Hand Files to ask A) who he wanted to win the current season of the British dating show and B) what the main difference is between him and his wife, Susie Bick. “At the moment, the defining difference between Susie and me is that she watches Love Island, and I don’t,” Cave began. “Susie watches Love Island because we know one of the contestants, Luca. Luca was a school friend of our twins, Arthur and Earl. As a consequence, Susie and I became friends with...
Atlanta Drops Magical Teaser for Fourth and Final Season: Watch
Cereal rains from the clouds, a piano falls from the sky, and all sort of animals and vehicles defy the laws of nature in the callback-heavy teaser for Season 4 of Atlanta. The final episodes from the critically-beloved series come to FX in September. Season 4 was shot at the same time as Season 3, debuted earlier this year and which Consequence named it one of the best TV shows of 2022 so far. The new teaser doesn’t offer much in the way of plot details; it opens with Donald Glover as Earn Marks and Zazie Beetz as Van Keefer exiting a store as Coconut Crunchies drift from above. Teddy Perkins’ falling piano causes ripples in the asphalt before Darius Epps (Lakeith Stanfield) crashes an invisible car. Meanwhile, an ostrich grows out of an egg at record speed, an alligator cl...
Evil Looms for Elves and Dwarves Alike in New The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Trailer: Watch
Why have regular rings when you can have rings of power? That’s not exactly what the highly anticipated Prime Video series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is about… except maybe it is? What matters is that as the calendar brings us closer and closer to the show’s September premiere date, we’ve gotten another taste of the show with the release of a new trailer. In this new trailer, the denizens of Middle Earth talk some big talk about how they thought war was behind them… which, as we quickly discover, isn’t the case, because “Evil does not sleep — it waits.” Magical swords, a balrog, and some big talk about a guy named Sauron all tease the epic fantasy adventure to come. The Rings of Power was first revealed as a possibility in 2017 when Amazon acquired the television rights to J...
Netflix’s Cheaper Ad-Supported Tier Will Offer Smaller, Worse Catalog
You get what you pay for, the saying goes, and Netflix seems determined to prove that point with a cheaper, ad-supported tier that also comes with a smaller, worse catalog. As Protocol reports, the backbone of the ad-supported tier seems likely to be Netflix originals. Many of the company’s existing contracts for third-party content would allow other companies to take a slice of the ad-money pie, and while co-CEO Ted Sarandos has been trying to renegotiate those deals, it’s hard to convince other companies to willingly take less money. “We will clear some additional content, but certainly not all of it,” Sarandos said. “But I don’t think it’s a material hold-back to the business.” Advertisement Related Video He added, “The vast majority of what people watch on Netflix, we ca...
