So, the buzz is building about who’s going to play Wonder Woman in the new DCU, and everyone’s throwing out names. I’ve seen a lot of people suggest Adrianne Palicki, who I think is fantastic – you might recognize her from things like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, John Wick, The Orville, and G.I. Joe: Retaliation. But here’s a fun fact: she already played Wonder Woman! It was for a project that didn’t get a ton of attention back in the early 2010s, but it’s cool to remember that she’s got experience with the role.

According to FlixPatrol, Like Water for Chocolate is now the sixth most popular show on HBO Max in the U.S. The film is also performing well internationally, reaching the top spot in Mexico and number four in Romania. It’s currently a top 10 hit in several other countries too, including Chile, France, Italy, Portugal, and Turkey.

Despite being one of the most discussed and divisive films in the series, 2012’s Prometheus has surprisingly become a crucial part of the larger Alien story. Its detailed world, interesting characters, and ambitious storytelling have held up well over time, and now, with the franchise heading in a new direction, it feels more important than ever for today’s audiences.

A particularly strange plotline on the show happens when Jan Levinson, after her breakup with Michael Scott, announces she’s pregnant. She conceived through artificial insemination using a sperm donor.

Dwayne Johnson is bringing back his popular role as the demigod Maui, this time in Disney’s live-action version of Moana. He previously played Maui in the animated Moana (2016) and Moana 2 (2024). While Johnson returns, Catherine Laga’aia will play Moana in this new film, taking over the role from Auliʻi Cravalho, who originally voiced the character.

With big team-up movies like Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars coming up, Marvel is at a good moment to finally make a casting choice fans have discussed for a long time – a decision that could be really thrilling and significant.

Vincent D’Onofrio returned as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin, and Jon Bernthal reprised his role as the Punisher, both originally from the Marvel Netflix shows. The series went through many changes during production, including discussions about whether to include Frank Castle (the Punisher). He eventually appeared in two episodes, including the first season finale of Daredevil: Born Again, where he battles Kingpin’s task force and manages to escape, as shown in a scene after the credits.

Damon and Elena’s connection was fueled by both intense attraction and constant risk, leading to some incredibly romantic scenes in The Vampire Diaries. Though their relationship began with complications, it quickly became obvious they were destined for each other. Moments like their first dance and first kiss weren’t just special – they defined the entire course of their love story.

Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) might really enjoy Inkheart. The MCU, with its focus on the multiverse, has attracted a lot of viewers who love stories with alternate timelines. If you’re looking for a film with a similar feel – a bit more substance, less reliance on special effects, and plenty of multiverse adventure – Inkheart could be a great choice this week.

Okay, so he’s changed things up a little. He’s still doing some touring – South Africa and Belgium are still on the schedule – but now he’s adding some US dates! And it’s awesome because Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo are joining him for those shows. It’s gonna be a total ’80s throwback, and I’m super excited!
