Phoenix previously collaborated with Aster on Beau Is Afraid, and they’re gearing up for another collaboration. The Oscar-winner will lead his next film Eddington, and he’ll be joined by the two-time Oscar winner Emma Stone (Poor Things), Oscar nominee Austin Butler (Dune: Part Two), and Emmy nominee Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us).

In addition to these four A-list stars, the supporting cast of this project will also include Luke Grimes (Yellowstone), Deirdre O’Connell (Outer Range), Micheal Ward (Top Boy), and Clifton Collins Jr. (Jockey).

Aster previously discussed Eddington in one of his Reddit AMAs and said he’s been plotting a Western-noir dark ensemble comedy for years. He described it as a “revisionist Western” that’s “one foot in the Western and one foot is even more heavily in the noir genre.”

Eddington will mark Aster’s fourth A24 film following horrors Hereditary and Midsommar and tragicomedy Beau Is Afraid. In addition to writing and directing it, he’ll also be credited as a producer with his Square Peg partner Lars Knudsen.

Pascal’s casting had been a public secret for months before Marvel finally made things official. The Mandalorian and Last of Us star will lead this superhero flick as Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic, and he’ll be in a pretty good company!

Vanessa Kirby (The Crown, Mission: Impossible franchise) will join him as Sue Storm aka the Invisible Woman, along with Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things) as Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Bear) as Ben Grimm aka the Thing.

Jack Kirby and Stan Lee’s The Fantastic Four comics have already been adapted on several occasions. Tim Story Fantastic Four and Fantastic Four: Rise of Silver Surfer from 2005/2007 grossed over $635 million, but struggled to impress the critics, while Josh Trank’s 2015 reboot crashed and burned both critically and at the box office.

Matt Shakman (WandaVision) will get the chance to do things right this time around, and he’s directing this project off a script by Josh Friedman, Jeff Kaplan, and Ian Springer. The Fantastic Four will be released in theatres on July 25, 2025.

Plot details are being kept under wraps, but this movie is set to continue the story of Pedro Pascal’s lone Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin. He goes on a run and does everything in his power to protect the Force-sensitive infant Grogu (also known by the nickname “Baby Yoda”) from the Imperial forces after initially being hired to hunt him down.

Jon Favreau, who created The Mandalorian for Disney+, will return as director and producer of its feature film adaptation.

“I have loved telling stories set in the rich world that George Lucas created. The prospect of bringing the Mandalorian and his apprentice Grogu to the big screen is extremely exciting,” said Favreau in a statement.

Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm, echoed his words and praised Favreau and Dave Filoni for ushering in a new era of Star Wars with these two beloved characters, whose story is a perfect fit for the big screen.

The Mandalorian premiered on Disney+ in 2019 and ran for three seasons, and the streaming giant is yet to officially announce its Season 4 renewal.

Pascal is in talks with Marvel to play the leader of the iconic superhero team, but his casting is yet to be confirmed. According to Deadline, Marvel won’t officially cast Pascal before they figure out the scheduling and they’ll only start looking for the rest of the ensemble once they figure out who would play Reed Richards.

Scheduling is the main issue standing in the way of Pascal’s casting since he’s been one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood in recent years. In addition to leading two hit series—Disney’s The Mandalorian and HBO’s The Last of Us—the Emmy-nominated actor is also attached to Ridley Scott’s Gladiator 2 and Ethan Coen’s Drive-Away Dolls.

Fantastic Four has been adapted to the big screen two times during the 21st century, with Ioan Gruffudd and Miles Teller portraying Reed Richards. John Krasinski also made a cameo as the alternate version of this character in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Pascal joined Bad Bunny to translate a portion of his monologue from Spanish to English. After firing a few sentences about his morning in New York, the Puerto Rican singer turned to Pascal for help, but the actor offered a joking translation, “He says, ‘I’m blessed to be here with my favorite actor Pedro Pascal.’”

This wasn’t Pascal’s only appearance during Bad Bunny’s SNL episode. The Mandalorian actor also reprised his role from his last season’s appearance on SNL in the hilarious sketch Protective Mom 2, in addition to introducing the singer ahead of his “Monaco” performance.

Lady Gaga also made a cameo and did an intro for Bad Bunny’s performance of “Un Preview”. The biggest shocker was seeing The Rolling Stones’ frontman make a cameo in sketches Telenovela and Convent Meeting, marking his first appearance on SNL since 1986.

The next episode of SNL will be hosted by the comedian Nate Bargatze, with Foo Fighters serving as musical guests.

Based on Don Winslow’s novella Broken, Crime 101 hails from the American Animals director Bart Layton. Pascal and Hemstowrth still haven’t officially struck a deal to star in this project, but they’ve both shown interest before the SAG-AFTRA strike.

Crime 101 is set in the world of high-level jewel thefts, taking place up and down the Pacific Coast. Police have linked them to the Colombian cartels, but detective Lou Lubesnick has other ideas after zeroing in on a thief looking for a final score.

Working Title’s Eric Fellner and Tim Bevan and Shane Salerno’s Story Factory are handling the sales of this high-profile project, which will go to the highest bidder. Amazon and Netflix are the front-runners right now, and Amazon currently has a slight edge, according to Deadline.

In addition to leading The Mandalorian and The Last of Us, Pedro Pascal is attached to several other projects, including Ridley Scott’s Gladiator 2. Chris Hemsworth mostly recently starred in Extraction 2, and we’ll next get to see him in George Miller’s Furiosa next year.

The Last of Us defeated the likes of Stranger Things, The White Lotus, Wednesday, Wolf Pack, Yellowjackets, and Yellowstone to be crowned as the best show of the year. It was also a big night for its leading man Pedro Pascal, who won awards for best hero and best duo alongside his co-star Bella Ramsey.

There were no repeat winners in the movie field, but Scream VI was arguably the biggest winner of the night. It defeated some of the biggest 2022 blockbusters, including Avatar: The Way of Water, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and Top Gun: Maverick to be named the best movie of the year.

This year’s MTV Movie & TV Awards were supposed to take place at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California, but eventually shifted to a virtual ceremony on May 7. The in-person show was canceled shortly after the host Drew Barrymore pulled out in solidarity with the WGA strike.

The second season of Pascal’s hit HBO series The Last of Us is currently in the works and he’ll be pretty busy in the meantime. He’s in final negotiations to join Scott’s next film in a mystery role, and this project sounds right down his alley.

Even before leading The Last of Us, Pascal starred in a wide range of action-packed projects, from Game of Thrones to The Mandalorian. He also played key roles in the films Kingsman: The Golden Circle, The Great Wall, and Wonder Woman 1984. He’ll next star alongside Ethan Hawke in Pedro Almodovar’s second English-speaking film Strange Way of Life.

Pascal will be in pretty good company on set of Gladiator 2 because its cast is bursting with talent. Paul Mescal, the Oscar- and Emmy-nominated star of Normal People and Aftersun, will lead the cast alongside Barry Keoghan, Joseph Quinn, Connie Nielsen, and Denzel Washington.

The Last of Us was created for HBO by Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, drawing inspiration from Naughty Dog’s hit video game of the same name. The post-apocalyptic series centers on a hardened survivor Joel, tasked with escorting a teenage girl Ellie out of a quarantine zone and across the United States.

The series is led by Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, with Gabriel Luna, Anna Torv, Nico Parker, Murray Bartlett, Nick Offerman, Melanie Lynskey, and Storm Reid in supporting roles. The pilot episode was met with rave reviews, and scored the second-largest debut on HBO since 2010, behind House of the Dragon.

Francesca Orsi, EVP of HBO Programming, confirmed the show’s renewal in an official statement and praised the creative team behind it for bringing it to life.

“Craig and Neil, alongside EP Carolyn Strauss, and the rest of our phenomenal cast and crew, have defined a genre with their masterful debut season of The Last of Us. After pulling off this unforgettable first season, I can’t wait to watch this team outshine themselves again with Season 2,” said Orsi.

In the trailer’s voiceover, Din Djarin reflects on his place in the universe, adding he must go back to Mandalore and seek forgiveness for his transgressions:

“Our people are scattered like stars in the galaxy. What are we? What do we stand for? Being a Mandalorian’s not just learning about how to fight. You also have to know how to navigate the galaxy. That way, you’ll never be lost.”

The trailer sees the Mandalorian continue his journey across the galaxy after being reunited with Grogu. As the New Republic struggles to lead the galaxy away from its dark history, the duo heads to Mandalore, meeting old allies and making new enemies on their path.

In addition to Pascal, the third season will also star Katee Sackhoff, Carl Weathers, Amy Sedaris, Emily Swallow, and Giancarlo Esposito. It will feature a total of eight episodes, set to air weekly on Disney+ following the season premiere on March 1.
