Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
In a recent interview with Comic Book, Patrick Stewart would neither confirm-nor-deny he appears in the latest trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
You know, people have been imitating my voice ever since I came on the stage 60 years ago. So, I can’t be held responsible for that.

The Marvels
In conversation with Uproxx, Brie Larson described the upcoming Captain Marvel sequel as “bonkers”.
I wish I could talk about it. I can talk about my feelings around it. I can say that… I can’t say enough about how incredible our director, Nia DaCosta, is and what an honour it was to work with her, what an immense talent she is, how much I just feel like she’s the future. And I could also say that, when I read the script for the first time, I couldn’t believe what I was reading. I was like, this is bonkers. And it’s the thing that I love about Marvel, is that they continue to reinvent. They continue to do the thing that you just would never think would be possible in these films. And they’re not afraid to go there.
The Munsters
Rob Zombie just keeps on revealing tiny little glimpses of The Munsters — the time in the form of in-universe candy boxes.

The Batman
On a similar note, the pizza chain Little Caesars has released its very own hot ‘n ready featurette on The Batman.
Peacemaker
James Gunn denied recent rumours Bane will appear as a “primary antagonist” in the second season of Peacemaker on Twitter.
Don’t you know by now to make really sure of this stuff before posting? This is bullshit. No one knows what’s coming but me, & even I don’t fully know. https://t.co/WTSXCsWGXI

His simmering feelings for Tom will never get in the way of his duty and loyalty.” Jones has been cast as Tom’s mother, Lorraine Swift, a “Debutante royalty with a kind heart. Her relationship with Tom is close and loving until the aftermath of his father’s disappearance begins to drive a wedge between them.” Mwangi rounds out the cast as Rowan, “a member of the security detail for a Congressman in Tom’s orbit. Rowan’s steely demeanour hides his mysterious past – and his star-crossed interest in Tom.”
