Ben Affleck is ramping things up on his upcoming Netflix thriller Animals. He not only will direct the pic but star as well, Deadline is reporting. Insiders add that Gillian Anderson also is aboard. The plan is for the film to shoot in Los Angeles from a script by Connor McIntyre and Billy Ray. Plot details are being kept under wraps other than the film revolving around a kidnapping. Affleck was eyeing this film as his next directing outing last year but was only planning to direct, with Matt Damon in line for the starring role. A holdup with the rights delayed start of production, and Affleck ultimately had to move on to a sequel to The Accountant with Animals pushing. Affleck still wanted to make Animals, and after starring alongside Damon in another Netflix and Artists Equity crime thriller RIP, which will bow later this year on the streamer, saw an opportunity to make Animals his next movie. 02/05/25 @ 8:58 pm EST

The cast of Spider-Noir has been growing as the show has been in production.

The first trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps teases a retro-future world and an impending threat from Galactus, one of Marvel’s most famous antagonists. The Fantastic Four is one of the most anticipated Marvel movies in some time, as fans have waited years for the Kevin Feige-led studio to make a film starring Marvel’s First Family, as the team is known. The Fantastic Four are a cornerstone of the Marvel Universe in the comics, with writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby’s 1961 Fantastic Four No. 1 launching the universe. But the property has never had its due on the big screen. It spent decades at 20th Century Fox, which made a pair of middling movies in the 2000s and a universally reviled 2015 feature. (A 1994 Roger Coreman-produced Fantastic Four was famously never released). The Fantastic Four: First Steps has a July 25 release date.

 Oni Press – the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997, is proud to present an extended look inside PLAGUE HOUSE #1 — the FIRST ISSUE of a deep and disorienting reinvention of the haunted house genre from acclaimed writer Michael W. Conrad (Wonder Woman, Double Walker) and 2024 Ringo Award-winning artist Dave Chisholm (Miles Davis and the Search for the Sound)! On April 2nd, it’s not the house that’s haunted… It’s the soul of America itself when PLAGUE HOUSE #1 makes its damnable debut! “I've always loved horror books, movies, and comics--the weird, the occult, and ghost stories are part of my DNA--and so I am incredibly pumped to get to make this book with Michael and Bess Pallares and everyone at Oni Press,” said artist Dave Chisholm. “Michael's story works on so many levels--it's got great characters, it's got a fresh take on the haunted-house genre that's relevant--and it's scary, shocking, and fun all at the same time. I'm really bringing everything I've got to this art, too, and I can't wait for this book to keep people up at night.” “As I’ve worked on this PLAGUE HOUSE I’ve discovered things about myself that I’m not entirely comfortable with, and perhaps that’s where true horror lives,” said writer Michel W. Conrad. “PLAGUE HOUSE is a story about haunted locations, how they work, and the demands they make of the living. It’s a story about violence, revenge, and the petty vulgarity that can get trapped in locations soiled by violence. PLAGUE HOUSE is a horror story about us, and the specters created in the wake of our most selfish deeds.” Thirteen years ago, Orin McCabe was a family man living a privileged life in the suburbs. Today, he’s condemned to death row for murdering his entire family in an unexpected fit of hammerwielding brutality. In the aftermath of his heinous crime, it’s fallen to a trio of eclectic, but dedicated, ghost hunters—Jacob, the holy man; Holland, the skeptic; and their leader, Del, a true believer in the occult and worlds beyond—to surveil the abandoned McCabe home in search of proof for the existence of the undead . . . and whatever supernatural source may have possibly fueled McCabe’s inhuman massacre. But this ill-matched and uneasy squad of investigators is about to discover something much more terrifying than any ordinary spirit. . . . Something much more pernicious, much more contagious, that if not contained, could take full advantage of America’s unquenchable appetite for violence and deliver a plague of blood unto us all . . . These never-before-seen preview pages usher you into a strange and dangerous world stained with blood, fear, and the deepest depths of the unknown... In addition to the issue’s main cover by Dave Chisholm, PLAGUE HOUSE #1 will feature variant covers from Brian Level (Star Wars: Vader – Dark Visions), Noah Bailey (Wonder Woman: Black and Gold, Tremor Dose), Nathan Ooten (Neptune), and Alex Eckman-Lawn (Mouse Guard: Legends of The Guard, Art Brut). The infection is coming, whether you’re ready or not, when PLAGUE HOUSE #1 begins to spread this April! PLAGUE HOUSE is the next chapter in Oni Press’ genre-colliding slate of must-read titles for Spring 2025 that also includes MINE IS A LONG, LONESOME GRAVE #1 by Justin Jordan & Chris Shehan (February), FREE FOR ALL #1 by Patrick Horvath (March), OUT OF ALCATRAZ #1 by Christopher Cantwell & Tyler Crook (March), and THE GODDAMN TRAGEDY #1 by Chris Condon & Shawn Kuruneru (April.)

Those rumors of Marvel Studios re-casting the part of T’Challa in the Marvel Cinematic Universe appear to have been greatly exaggerated. The rumor popped up last month and stated that Marvel is reportedly looking to replace Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa for future appearances, such as Black Panther 3. ComicBook.com spoke to Nate Moore, the VP of Production & Development at Marvel Studios, in support of Captain America: Brave New World. When asked about the rumors of finding a new T’Challa to play Black Panther, Moore shot them down. “The truth is, there’s no truth to those rumors. Never say never to anything, we haven’t really had a lot of creative conversations with Ryan Coogler yet, because he’s finishing his film Sinners, which comes out this year,” Moore said. “We’ll get into it later this year, but everything you read online is not true, if for no other reason than we just haven’t started [working on it].” One person we know who will be starring in Black Panther 3 is Denzel Washington. The famed actor revealed he’d be a part of Black Panther 3 in November while promoting Gladiator II, although it’s unclear what his role in the movie will be. 02/03/25 @ 9:35 pm EST
In every generation, there is a chosen one — again. Variety is reporting that a sequel series to the beloved show “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” is nearing a pilot order at Hulu. Sources say that Sarah Michelle Gellar is in final talks to once again play the iconic title character in the untitled project, although it would focus on a new Slayer and Gellar would appear in a recurring role rather than leading the series. “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” has proven to be a massive cult hit and highly influential since its debut. The series is credited for helping to popularize ongoing story arcs in television while also building a show around a strong female lead. It is frequently cited as one of the best television shows of all time. |
