A new Kanye West documentary, In Whose Name? , is set to deliver a portrait of one of music's most polarizing figures. In the trailer, he revealed more about his mental health. Kanye's now ex-wife Kim Kardashian appears as well. Read more and watch the teaser trailer inside.
In Whose Name? is directed by Nico Ballesteros, who began following West at age 18. According to The Hollywood Reporter , the film captures six years of the rapper's life, offering more than 3,000 hours of behind-the-scenes footage that spans artistic highs, public meltdowns, and deeply personal moments.
The film will be released Sept. 19 through AMSI Entertainment in partnership with AMC, Regal, and Cinemark. It chronicles West's mental health battles, the unraveling of his marriage to Kim, the fallout from lucrative brand deals, and multiple controversies tied to antisemitic remarks and conspiracy theories.

The newly released teaser begins with West stating, 'I'm off my meds for five months now.' He later revealed, 'I would rather be dead than be on medication.'
Intercut are scenes of him in Yeezy design meetings, leading his Sunday Service gatherings, and performing for massive crowds. At one point, he's shown wearing a 'White Lives Matter' sweatshirt, which is one of many trailer moments likely to spark conversation.
The trailer also reveals the strain in his relationship with Kardashian, who is heard crying, 'Your personality was not like this a few years ago.'
Another exchange shows West telling her, 'Never tell me I'm gonna wake up one day and have nothing.' To which she begins to respond until he cuts her off with, 'It ain't no 'but.''
For Ballesteros, who described himself as a shy child who found connection through the camera, the project was as much about documenting humanity as it was about chronicling a celebrity's life.
'Ye has always had someone filming him,' Ballesteros shared. 'Maybe that's why we understood each other without saying much.'
Producer Simran A. Singh emphasized the rawness of the work, noting the absence of narration or conclusions.
'This film presents a raw and often unsettling portrait, leaving viewers to interpret the events for themselves,' Singh said.
Despite the personal and public turmoil depicted, Kardashian and West have maintained a united front when it comes to parenting, appearing together for family events like their daughter North's 2024 performance in The Lion King .
In Whose Name? opens in theaters Sept. 19, offering audiences an unprecedented window into the chaos, contradictions, and creativity of Kanye West's world.

Ryan Reynolds Will Appear as Deadpool in Avengers: Doomsday
Ryan Reynolds is set to reprise his role as Deadpool for the next Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) team-up movie, Avengers: Doomsday. Details on Reynolds' highly anticipated involvement in the next Avengers movie come from The Hollywood Reporter. It's one of the many Deadpool crossovers Marvel fans have waited decades to see come to fruition, though the site's sources say fans shouldn't expect him to actually join the Avengers team quite yet. Fans have wondered if the Merc with a Mouth would show up for Avengers: Doomsday since Marvel debuted its chair-focused cast announcement video earlier this year. Speculation that Deadpool could show up then caught fire when Reynolds teased his return just a few days ago. It's not much of a surprise to see Reynolds continue his run as Deadpool for Avengers: Doomsday. His portrayal of the potty-mouthed anti-hero made an official jump to the MCU with 2024's Deadpool & Wolverine. That's thanks to some multiverse shenanigans that saw him slicing through alternate universes with Hugh Jackman's Wolverine. Deadpool spent much of the buddy comedy hoping to one day join the Avengers team. Even if he won't become an official Avenger, it seems like he may get a chance to meet Chris Hemsworth's Thor, Pedro Pascal's Mister Fantastic, or even Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom when Avengers: Doomsday comes to theaters December 18, 2026. If we're lucky, we'll also finally find out why a glimpse into another reality showed Thor crying over Deadpool on a battlefield. Other stars in Avengers: Doomsday's already stacked cast include Anthony Mackie as Captain America, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, and many, many more. There's also Channing Tatum's Gambit, who made a splash when he finally made his big-screen debut in Deadpool & Studios has shared a lot about its next big-budget Avengers film, but it's clear there are so many surprises left to be revealed. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness star Xochitl Gomez is one name heavily rumored to make an appearance, though her inclusion hasn't been officially confirmed quite yet. We've also yet to learn how The Fantastic Four might find their way to the MCU universe fans have grown to know and love over the last 17 years. While we wait to find out more about how Deadpool will meet the Avengers, you can read up on every other Marvel project in the works. The next MCU movie on the schedule will see Tom Holland return for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is set to swing into theaters July 31, 2026. Michael Cripe is a freelance writer with IGN.

Tristan Rogers, best known for his longtime role as Robert Scorpio on "General Hospital," has died, according to multiple media reports. He was 79. Rogers died from lung cancer, his longtime manager Meryl Soodak told ABC7 and The Hollywood Reporter. USA TODAY has reached out to Soodak. The news comes a month after the soap star shared with fans in a July 17 news release that he had been diagnosed with cancer. "While he remains hopeful and is working closely with his medical team on a treatment plan, this is a challenging time for Tristan and his family," the statement read. "As they face both the emotional and physical burdens that come with this diagnosis, the family kindly asks for privacy and understanding." The release said that Rogers "sends love to his fans" and that their support "means more to him now than ever." Rogers is survived by his wife of 30 years, Teresa Parkerson, and their two adult children, daughter Sara and son Cale. Rogers' path to becoming a daytime staple Rogers, who was born in Melbourne, Australia, cut his teeth as a soap actor in the 1970s with roles on the Australian TV series "Number 96," "The Box" and "Bellbird." The budding actor traded the Down Under for the fictional town of Port Charles, New York, when he joined the cast of "General Hospital" in December 1980, playing super spy Scorpio. Rogers went on to enjoy a 12-year stint on the long-running drama before departing the series in 1992. He was nominated for two Soap Opera Digest Awards during his initial "GH" tenure, including a 1986 nod for outstanding daytime actor in a leading role. After a nearly 15-year hiatus, Rogers returned to the show in 2006 for a series of recurring appearances, followed by additional guest performances in 2008, 2012-2016 and 2018-2024. In total, the fan-favorite actor has appeared on over 1,400 episodes of "General Hospital," according to Rogers' IMDb page. Rogers also appeared on several episodes of the "General Hospital" spinoff "General Hospital: Night Shift" in 2008.
