The Elden Ring movie may have found an unlikely new cast member. A new RoboCop TV show may be coming to Amazon. Plus, a first look at Jessica Lange’s return to American Horror Story. To me, my spoilers!
X-Men
Collider reports that Beef creator Lee Sung Jin and The Bear co-showrunner Joanna Calo have been tapped to pen the script for Marvel’s X-Men project, directed by Jake Schreier.
White Elephant
Deadline reports KJ Apa (Riverdale), Madeleine Arthur (Color Out of Space), Josh Brener (Silicon Valley), Ashley Park (Emily in Paris), Alexandra Shipp (Tragedy Girls), and Justice Smith (I Saw the TV Glow) have joined the cast of Eli Craig’s holiday horror film, White Elephant, starring Nick Jonas and Kathryn Newton.
Elden Ring
World of Reel alleges Nick Offerman has joined the cast of Alex Garland’s Elden Ring movie in a currently undisclosed role.
The Batman, Part II
Deadline also reports Andy Serkis is confirmed to return as Alfred Pennyworth in The Batman, Part II.
Contagion 2
In conversation with The Playlist, Steven Soderbergh suggested he no longer wants to make his planned sequel to Contagion.
Scott [Z. Burns] and I kind of kicked some ideas around. [But] it would be tough to go back to that idea for me because that was a really unique circumstance. David Lean talked about not popping out of the same hole twice. I know I’m saying that as somebody who’s been involved with multiple Oceans movies and multiple Magic Mike movies, but I don’t know how to mitigate that feeling of, like, we’ve done it before.
The Adventures of Tintin 2
According to Andy Serkis in a new interview with Collider, Peter Jackson still “really, really wants to make” a sequel to The Adventures of Tintin after a twelve-year hiatus from filmmaking.
I loved the process of making that film with such great filmmakers. I think Peter really, really wants to make it, so hopefully down the line.
Animal Farm
The faith-based production company Angel Studios out of Provo, Utah has released a new trailer for Andy Serkis’s Animal Farm starring the voices of Seth Rogen, Gaten Matarazzo, Steve Buscemi, Glenn Close, Laverne Cox, Kieran Culkin, Woody Harrelson, Jim Parsons, Andy Serkis, Kathleen Turner and Iman Vellani.
Buffet Infinity
A feature-length compilation of TV ads tells the story of two competing restaurant chains on the verge of becoming sentient entities in the trailer for Buffet Infinity.
RoboCop: The Series
According to The Ankler and reported by Bloody-Disgusting, Amazon MGM Studios has allegedly given the the greenlight to a new live-action RoboCop TV series. While the project was originally announced in 2024 with Peter Ocko and James Wan at the helm, it’s currently unknown if the same creative team is still attached.
Marvel Zombies
Appearing as a guest on The Escape Pod (via Screen Rant), Brad Winderbaum confirmed he’s seen an animatic of the first episode of Marvel Zombies’ second season.
I don’t think it’s a spoiler, but I saw the first animatic of the first episode of Marvel Zombies season 2 this morning. It was crazy, I can’t say anything about it, but it delivers not just on like zombies, but also on like an MCU thing that has never really happened before that we’re very excited to do.
American Horror Story
Ryan Murphy shared teaser images of Jessica Lange’s character in the new season of American Horror Story on Instagram.
