More news: 'Super Troopers 3' Sequel Gets Massive New Update
Tramell Tillman, famous for potraying Seth Milchick from "Severance," has now joined the already expansive cast of "Spider-Man 4." Tillman's role has not been revealed, and he joins Sink and Colón-Zayas as the mysterious actors so far.
There are a lot of rumors regarding the new film, including the theory that Miles Morales might finally be making his MCU debut. Reports indicated that Kevin Feige stated the Morales character should not emerge in the MCU into the "Spider-Verse" films are finished, but that could be a smokescreen.
It could be that the addition of Colón-Zayas and Tillman could play the part of Morales' parents. The character's parents in the comics and "Spider-Verse" films are of African American and Puerto Rican descent, respectively.
Marvel is generally great at hiding things, so the studio could be throwing out nuggets of information to throw fans off theories that may or may not be true.
Either way, Tillman being added to the cast should be exciting. He exploded with his portrayal of Milchick in "Severance," leading to his landing receiving an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series, as well as SAG and Independent Spirit Award nominations.
It will be exciting to see who Tillman ends up playing, along with the mysterious roles for the aforementioned actors added to this new sequel.

I Rewatched The Suicide Squad, And I Know What I Want More Of From James Gunn's DCU
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. I recently rewatched 2021's The Suicide Squad with my HBO Max subscription, and it reminded me of why I like the movie and why I love director James Gunn's approach to superhero movies. It's not just the needle drops and the humor; it's that the movies are fun. The MCU, and especially the old DCEU, can just be too serious at times. Too dour. Let's bring the fun back to comic book movies! The Suicide Squad Is Silly In All The Best Ways I was inspired to revisit The Suicide Squad because I recently watched Peacemaker Season 1 for the first time after John Cena's cameo in Superman this summer. I sort of tuned out the DCEU towards the end of its run, because, let's be honest, the movies weren't very much fun. I understand the appeal that Zach Snyder's movies have for some fans, but they didn't do much for me. Now that we have a newly rebranded and rebooted DCU, I decided it would be important to catch up. HBO Max: Plans start from $9.99 a monthWatch The Suicide Squad and Season 1 of Peacemaker with HBO Max (and all the other DC movies). Pay just $9.99 a month for its With Ads plan, with three tiers available for an HBO Max subscription. You can save up to 20% by prepaying for a year and get ready for all the upcoming DCU movies and shows. View Deal After I started with Peacemaker, I realized how little I remembered about The Suicide Squad, which was Cena's first appearance as the dopey, but hilarious Peacemaker. It's important to note that it sure seems like The Suicide Squad is canon for the new DCU, which officially kicked off its live-action first phase (dubbed 'Chapter One: Gods and Monsters') with Superman, also directed by Gunn, a couple of months ago. The Suicide Squad has something that Gunn is great at doing in his movies: joy. It's a wild ride, with a stellar cast, and predictably great music; it's also campy and cartoony, in the best ways. I look at those old DCEU movies, like Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League, and they are such a bunch of downers. Again, I get the appeal of dark comic book adaptation, but for me, I want things that are light and fun. Making Comic Movies Silly Shouldn't Be A Negative Superhero comic books, at their essence, are fun and silly. At least my favorites are. Somewhere along the way in the last 20 years or so of comic book adaptations, the film industry veered too far into the darker themes of more recent comics. This is true of both DC and Marvel-based movies. The Suicide Squad and Gunn's three Guardians of the Galaxy films all embrace the goofy, silly aspects of comics, and I need more of that in the DCU going forward (I need more of that in the MCU too, which found some of that with The Fantastic Four: First Steps). It doesn't have to be all goofy. Gunn walks the line brilliantly between heartfelt and silly, especially in the third Guardians film, and to some extent in Superman, and I love how light and bright his movies are. The scene in The Suicide Squad where Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) shoots up the palace with flowers exploding is a great example of this. It feels like a comic, unlike a lot of the old DCEU to me. I'm really looking forward to the upcoming DC movies and seeing what James Gunn and Peter Safran bring to all of them as the creative minds in charge of the franchise. Up next, the animated Creature Commandos, which I also haven't seen.

‘Severance' vs. ‘The Pitt': Why Best Drama Series at the Emmys is such a close call
All signs point to Best Drama Series being a two-horse race, but which show is in the lead depends on whom you ask. From the outset of the For Your Consideration campaigns, Apple TV+'s Severance ran the category like a highly hands-on floor manager. The series had been off the air for three years — thanks in part to a shutdown for dual strikes in 2023 — and when viewers returned to Macrodata Refinement and the never-ending halls of Lumon Industries, they were treated to a second season that lived up to the promise of the first. More from Gold Derby Hannah Einbinder says she 'gasped in horror' when she read the final episode of 'Hacks' Season 4 'Eden' reviews dismiss Ron Howard's 'eccentric' new movie as a 'shipwreck' And the Emmys responded in kind. Severance filed away more nominations than any other series this year: 27 in all, up from 14 in its debut season. The haul included nods for leads Adam Scott and Britt Lower — as the star-crossed innie lovers Mark S. and Helly R. — as well as supporting performance nominations for Zach Cherry, Tramell Tillman, John Turturro, and Patricia Arquette. After nominations, the red carpet appeared to be rolled out for Severance to take the stage at the end of the night and claim Best Drama Series. The show's combined odds on Gold Derby put it firmly in the lead to do so without much competition in the rearview. But a dive into the numbers reveals a schism between our experts (comprising TV critics, journalists, and awards pundits) and our users. The users are overwhelmingly backing Severance; the experts, who have a historically better track record at predicting Emmy outcomes, have the Apple show winning — on a nail-bitingly small margin. The hype surrounding the reteaming of ER alums executive producer John Wells and star Noah Wyle promised nothing less than a return to the glory days of network TV dramas. And somehow, The Pitt delivered. Its first season scored 13 nominations, tying it with, The Bear and leading Limited Series contender Adolescence. In addition to a Lead Drama Actor nomination for Wyle (which he's highly favored to win), the series earned two additional acting noms: one for Supporting Drama Actress for Katherine LaNasa and one in Guest Drama Actor for Shawn Hatosy for his work in the dramatic season finale. Digging deeper, there's data both series can hang their hopes on. Severance's sheer volume of nominations shows widespread industry support, from the actors (who constitute the largest voting bloc) to the artisans (where The Pitt did not fare as well). And here's a stat that's hard to ignore: Over the past 10 years, the drama with the most nominations has won the series Emmy 90 percent of the time. But before you select Severance for the office pool, consider this: there's one bellwether category that The Pitt is leading: casting. Over the past decade, Best Drama Casting and Best Drama Series have matched up seven times. The drama race could be boiled down to competing modes of storytelling on TV. Severance, while a wonderfully bizarre creation all its own, follows the heavily serialized, deeply mythologized prestige model that arose in the late aughts and early 2010s, making it one of the truest heirs to Lost's obsessive TV crown. The Pitt, however, is a kind of show that serialized dramas replaced, an accessible ensemble medical series that could have headlined NBC's Thursday night lineup. In her interview with Gold Derby, LaNasa summarized it thusly: 'It's not just about the dialogue. It's about this strong arc that everybody had. I felt it was very satisfying to watch and to read. Everything kind of wraps onto itself, nothing's superfluous.' Severance or The Pitt? Which one a given voter goes for could come down to which era of great television they came up in. In the final days before the Emmys, though, not every category has as much suspense built up. Kathy Bates, a storied figure in Hollywood on a hit network show, appears to be a lock not only to win Lead Drama Actress for her work on CBS' legal reboot Matlock, but also to claim the record as the oldest ever performer to take the trophy in that category. At the age of 77, she already holds the title as the most senior nominee, and a win would knock Glenn Close (who won in 2009 for Damages at the age of 62) from atop the list. Elsewhere among the nominees list, the most recent season of The White Lotus may not be competitive in the Best Drama Series category, but the HBO series from creator Mike White is far from checked out of the Emmys. The anthology's third outing netted 23 nominations — the third most of any series in 2025, tying The Studio — including seven nods across Best Supporting Drama Actress and Best Supporting Drama Actor. And in those categories, beyond the show's statistical dominance, The White Lotus has two odds-on favorites to win in Carrie Coon and Walton Goggins. Both are familiar faces from beloved series turning in phenomenal work for their third nominations. The killer combo of overdue and deserved. They'll be competing, of course, with a host of their costars, including Parker Posey (who has an outside shot at taking the baton from Jennifer Coolidge as the show's resident meme machine), Aimee Lou Wood (who, in addition to being the season's beating heart, could bank some sympathy votes following the whole Saturday Night Live debacle), Natasha Rothwell, Jason Isaacs, and Sam Rockwell. Looming on the fringes of all of these categories, however, is The Last of Us. HBO's video game adaptation returned after eight Emmy wins in its first season to deliver a gigantic Season 2 that broadened the scope of the storytelling and delivered a twist so big that its audience was split open like so many of the show's infected. And yet despite the divide, The Last of Us managed 16 nominations, down from Season 1's 24, but still competitive across some major categories. Hanging just outside the top slots are major names like Pedro Pascal, whose profile has (somehow) risen to even higher highs since the debut season, and Bella Ramsey, who would be the youngest-ever winner of Best Drama Actress. An upset victory in Best Drama Series may not be in the cards for the fearless survivors of the mushroomy post-apocalypse, but the show is still strong in the Guest categories with nominations for Kaitlyn Dever, Catherine O'Hara, Joe Pantoliano, and Jeffrey Wright. And if there's a lesson to learn from the travails of Joel and Ellie, it's that what looks dead doesn't always stay that way.
