It’s been almost 15 years since we saw Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale, strut their stuff as they gear up for opening night of their school’s first-ever production of High School Musical. 

Joining the previously announced Joshua Bassett (Stuck in the Middle) are Olivia Rodrigo (Bizaardvark), Kate Reinders (Modern Family), Sofia Wylie (Andi Mack), Matt Cornett (Bella and the Bulldogs), Dara Renee (Freaky Friday), Julia Lester (Mom), Frankie Rodriguez (Modern Family), Larry Saperstein (Fan Girl), and Mark St. Cyr (Doomsday).

Bassett is set to star as Ricky a “sarcastic yet charismatic skate rat and high school junior, who launches a bold plan to prove himself to his ex-girlfriend Nini by auditioning to star opposite her in the school’s first-ever production of High School Musical: The Musical.”

Rodrigo plays Nini, “who just returned from summer theater camp after finding her voice, her confidence — and her new boyfriend.  Fiercely loyal to her two moms, Nini is a star — if she can just believe in herself long enough to stay put in the spotlight.”

Production of the 10-episode series is currently underway in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Chris Pratt, Tom Holland, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Octavia Spencer will work together in Disney-Pixar’s Onward.

Set in what Pixar described as a “suburban fantasy,” the animated film follows two teenage elf brothers, voiced by Holland and Pratt, who embark on an extraordinary quest to discover if there is still magic left in the world. The two worked together in the past on Avengers: Infinity War.

“At Pixar, we try to create stories that come from some kind of personal truth,” director Dan Scanlon said in a statement. “This film was inspired by my own relationship with my brother.”

“Chris brings equal parts huge heart and fantastic humor to his character,” said Rae, Onward producer, who added Spencer “can do it all. We’re especially excited about the depth as well as humor that she brings to her character.”

Holland “has an infectious charm and sincerity that makes you root for him in every character he plays,” Scanlon said and added that “there is no one funnier than Julia. But she also brings a warmth and loving side to her character.”

Onward is scheduled to hit theaters March 6, 2020.

Marvel has announced plans to release a live action sitcom based around the team over on Freeform, which will also be the home for Marvel’s upcoming Cloak and Dagger series. There’s no word if New Warriors, Cloak and Dagger will premiere simultaneously or during different seasons. The new show, which will get 10 episodes in its first season, is slated to be released in 2018.

Starring as Squirrel Girl is actress/comedian Milana Vayntrub, who is best known for her work in various AT&T commercials and viral internet video “Wrestling Isn’t Wrestling.”

Several actresses, including Shannon Purser and Anna Kendrick, wanted to portray the character.

Joining her on the cast are Derek Theler as Mister Immortal, Jeremy Tardy as Night Thrasher, Austin & Ally star Calum Worthy as Speedball, Matthew Moy as Microbe, Steven Universe star Matthew Moy, The Whitest Kids U’ Know’s Kate Comer as Debrii, and three-time Emmy winning actor Keith David as Ernest Vigman.

The show will be filming in various areas in Atlanta, which is where DC Comics live-action series Black Lightning and Titans are also being filmed. The series will be directed by Kevin Biegel, who co-created the Courteney Cox sitcom Cougar Town.

New Warriors got their official comic book debut in The Mighty Thor #412 back in 1989. Over the years, various superheroes have joined this team, including Nova and Scarlet Spider. New Warriors was created by Tom DeFalco, who is best known for bringing G.I. Joe and Transformers into the mainstream.
