The next big “Star Wars” series that has yet to go into production is the mysterious project only known as “The Acolyte” that is gathering steam after actress Amandla Stenberg (“The Hate U Give“) reportedly landed the lead role. While we don’t know a lot of details, it’s confirmed that the new show takes place during The High Republic, a new era of “Star Wars” that was launched for a publication push for books and comic books, a hundred years before the events of “Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.” Set between The Old Republic and the Skywalker Saga, the show will indeed move away from the Skywalkers but Jedi such as Yoda are alive during this era, allowing for original/prequel trilogy characters to make their comebacks.

Thor fans reckon Christian Bale's baddie Gorr looks like Marilyn Manson as trailer drops

Thor fans' excitement has been building over the upcoming latest movie featuring everyone's favourite hammer-swinging Norse god and Avenger.In particular, they've been clamouring for footage of that film's main bad guy - namely Christian Bale's Gorr the God Butcher - with many fearing that he won't end up looking anything like he does in the comic books.And now the new trailer's finally dropped all those people seem to be saying the same thing - that he's more goth than Gorr and the spitting image of US shock rocker Marilyn Manson.The online promo from Marvel Studios, which landed earlier today, introduces Welsh-born Bale's arch villain as a white-skinned character in robes who sports scars all over his face and has fearsome glowing yellow eyes.But, while the movie's celebrated director Taika Waititi is already calling Bale "probably the best villain Marvels' ever had," fans have been taking to Twitter to express their own opinions. "Looks like Christian Bale's Gorr the God Butcher dipped into late '90s Marilyn Manson videos," posted one, while another added, "I, for one, am looking forward to Marilyn Manson making his debut as the newest Marvel villain.""Yo!

The rise of streamer content has created anxiety for talent and their reps, because of models that require ownership of a project in perpetuity. Because product starts on a streaming site and then never leaves, there is no chance of backend windfalls. Just look at the creators and cast of Squid Game to see what that can mean: a billion-dollar property for Netflix, embarrassingly tiny paydays for the artists who made it, and little hope of making up the shortfall in subsequent seasons.
