Jimmy Olsen was a hugely popular character in the 1950s, even starring in his own comic book, Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen. The series featured wild, imaginative stories typical of the Silver Age of comics. In these tales, Jimmy would often find himself transformed – becoming a giant like Godzilla as “Turtle Boy,” or gaining stretchy powers as “Elastic Lad.” He even teamed up with Superman inside the miniature city of Kandor, acting as a sidekick called “Flamebird” – a name later used by Dick Grayson (Robin). The comic ran for twenty years, totaling 163 issues, and is notable as the first appearance of the villain Darkseid. The series also surprisingly portrayed Jimmy as a bit of a ladies’ man, a trait that’s consistent with the original comics. Now, Jimmy Olsen is continuing this legacy with his own TV series in the DC Universe.

We got an exclusive preview of the Art and Making of Frankenstein book and were amazed by early concept art of the monster. But the final result is even more impressive. Director Guillermo del Toro explained that the film aims to transform viewers’ perception of the creature from ‘other’ to ‘one of us,’ and to explore themes of forgiveness – a rare feat in filmmaking. Looking at photos of Jacob Elordi in his monster makeup, it’s clear the film succeeds; we see a deeply human portrayal, and the result is truly artistic.

Currently, representatives from HBO, DC Studios, and the show’s creators aren’t saying anything publicly. It’s likely they’re still finalizing details before making an official announcement. Given the current political climate, the themes of the show feel particularly relevant. For viewers unfamiliar with the story, V for Vendetta centers on a masked anarchist named V who fights against a totalitarian British government in a dystopian future.

Oscar Isaac has said he’d consider returning to Star Wars, but he’s currently hesitant to work with Disney. In an interview with GQ, he explained he’d be open to talks if Disney could address what he sees as a concerning drift towards authoritarianism. He stated that if Disney could ‘figure it out and not succumb to fascism,’ he would happily discuss returning to the Star Wars universe – or other projects, for that matter.

Just as Vecna is connected to the Upside Down, David Levy has been a part of the show since its start. He’s been an executive producer since season one and even made a brief appearance in the fourth episode of that season, “The Body.” He’s excited about his work on the fifth season, which is the first time he’s directly collaborated with the Duffer brothers.

I thought he was fantastic for the part, and his initial audition was perfect. Then came the screen test, and it was clear he was really struggling emotionally. I went backstage, where they’d even built a complete set. I spoke to him privately and told him he needed to refocus and get it right, but it was hard to know what to say to help.

Before Pluribus premiered on Apple TV, the show’s plot was a complete secret. Apple kept the details of Vice Gilligan’s new series under wraps, only hinting that it would center around “the most miserable person on Earth” attempting to “save the world from happiness.” We now understand that Rhea Seehorn’s character, Carol Sturka, isn’t trying to prevent happiness. Instead, an alien virus has merged almost all of humanity into a single, collective consciousness, leaving only 13 individuals separate in Pluribus.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Brown explained that she enjoyed being a stronger, more capable character this season. She noted it wasn’t just about her character’s powers, but also the intense physical training and dedication she put in.
