According to a recent casting announcement from Warner Bros. (via Collider), Christina Ricci is the latest actress to land a role in the highly anticipated sequel. Details of her character remain unknown, but she’ll join an already star-studded cast in a film that has high aspirations. 

The Matrix 4 will be featuring the return of Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Jada Pinkett Smith, reprising their iconic roles as Neo, Trinity, and Niobe. The film will also star newcomers Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Jessica Henwick, Neil Patrick Harris, Toby Onwumere, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who is rumored to be playing young Morpheus. It was recently teased that should scheduling work out, Lambert Wilson could possibly return for The Matrix 4 as the villain, the Merovingian.

Plot details on the fourth live-action film in The Matrix franchise haven’t been revealed, and given the ending of 2003’s The Matrix Revolutions it’s not a clear-cut answer.

 The three previous films—The Matrix (1999), The Matrix Reloaded (2003), and The Matrix Revolutions (2003)—have earned more than $1.6 billion at the global box office and were all top-10 domestic hits in their respective years of release. The Matrix Revolutions was also the first film ever to release simultaneously in every major country at the same hour around the world.

Tom Felton came to fame as a child when he portrayed Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter series of films. In a recent interview, Felton said he wouldn’t be opposed to reprising his role if the opportunity arose.

Speaking to People during the promotion of the recently opened Harry Potter New York flagship store, Felton said that not only would he be interested in getting to portray Draco again, but he would be fine with playing any member of the Malfoy family. 

“If you’re asking me will I dye my hair blonde again to be Draco, abso-bloody-lutely. Either [him or Lucius]. I’ll play Draco’s kid if you really want!” Felton said. “Any chance to be a Malfoy again would be greatly accepted.”

Felton went on to say that he feels “a bit of ownership” over the character of Draco, having played him for the entirety of the eight-film run. “I do feel if someone else played [Draco], I’d be slightly possessive, going, ‘Hang on,’ ” Felton says.

Felton’s Malfoy acted as one of the main foils to Daniel Radcliffe’s Harry Potter, although by the end of the films, Malfoy had grown into much more than just a simple school bully. Reminiscing on the run of films that’s nearing its 20th anniversary this year, Felton said he recently spoke to Rupert Grint, Radcliffe, and Emma Watson about just how long it’s been. 

“I was speaking to Rupert [Grint], Daniel and Emma [Watson] separately the other day and [said], ‘Twenty years, can you imagine that?’ ” Felton said. “First of all, they all look the bloody same, literally. Rupert looks exactly the same. Also, we’re all sort of a bit flabbergasted that it’s [even] more popular [now]. We’re all a bit surprised by that. We’re certainly excited, and made to feel old when we realize that it was 20 years ago that we made the first film.”

The premiere of Disney’s upcoming series Loki is fast approaching, and ahead of its launch, two new teaser trailers have been released for the show.

The first trailer sees Loki being questioned by Owen Wilson’s character, Mobius M. Mobius, on what makes the god of mischief tick. Some more clips from the series are shown before a member of Time Variance Authority calls Loki a “cosmic mistake,” setting the stage for the tone of the series. 

In the second trailer, Loki is briefed on what he has to do in order to earn his second chance, namely joining up with the TVA and working with them to travel across different places in time to help keep the flow correct. It’s still unclear just what Loki will do once he’s been given some freedom by the TVA, but the tricky character always seems to have a trick up his sleeve. 

Joining Hiddleston in Marvel Studios’ third MCU series are Sophia Di Martino (Yesterday, Flowers, Into the Badlands), Owen Wilson (The Royal Tenenbaums), Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Black Mirror: San Junipero), Cailey Fleming (The Walking Dead), and Richard E. Grant (Can You Ever Forgive Me?), Sasha Lane (American Honey) and Wunmi Mosaku (Lovecraft Country).

All upcoming six episodes of Loki are directed by Kate Herron from a screenplay coming from head writer Michael Waldron (Rick and Morty). Waldron is also the scribe for Sam Raimi’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which Loki will reportedly have ties into just like with WandaVision and Spider-Man: No Way Home. Executive producers are Herron, Kevin Feige, Louis D’ Esposito, Victoria Alonso, and Stephen Broussard.

Judge Judy Sheindlin has been a staple of daytime television for nearly three decades, but after 25 years, she’s planning on departing her iconic CBS show.

In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, Sheindlin said that tensions between herself and CBS forced her to leave her long-running courtroom reality show. According to her, most of the issues seem to stem from CBS buying out Sheindlin’s ownership shares of Judge Judy reruns. This was likely done in an effort to prevent Sheindlin from shopping the show’s extensive library elsewhere, and something Sheindlin didn’t like. 

In the interview, Sheindlin noted that she felt “disrespected” by CBS due to their work on Hot Bench, another courtroom show that Sheindlin created in 2014. In an effort to make room for The Drew Barrymore Show, a handful of CBS-owned stations “in major markets” bumped Hot Bench, which Sheindlin took as a massive sign of disrespect.

“You disrespected my creation,” Sheindlin said in regards to the Hot Bench moves. “And you were wrong. Not only in disrespecting my creation, but your gamble in what you put in its place. We had a nice marriage,” she added. “It’s going to be a Bill and Melinda Gates divorce.”

In response to the news, CBS Media Ventures president Steve LoCasci told The Wall Street Journal that it was an honor working with Sheindlin, and there will never be another person like her. “We have had an incredibly successful relationship with Judy over the last 25 years. It has been an honor representing her show, and just like there has never been another Oprah, there will never be another Judge Judy.”

For fans of Sheindlin, the Judge isn’t retiring, and will instead be working on a new show, Judy Justice, on the Amazon-owned IMDb TV. No information for the show has been released just yet, so fans will have to wait to see when they can catch it.
