"Eyes of Wakanda" Drops Trailer
Yara Sameh The official trailer for 'Eyes of Wakanda,' a four-episode limited animated series executive produced by 'Black Panther' director Ryan Coogler, has been released. It will release on Disney+ on August 1. The upcoming show will be set in Wakanda, the home of the Black Panther which was extensively explored in Coogler's two Marvel movies. The show will follow 'the adventures of brave Wakandan warriors throughout history. In this globe-trotting adventure, the heroes must carry-out dangerous missions to retrieve Vibranium artifacts from the enemies of Wakanda. They are the Hatut Zaraze and this is their story.' The voice cast includes Winnie Harlow, Cress Williams, Patricia Belcher, Larry Herron, Adam Gold, Lynn Whitfield, Jacques Colimon, Jona Xiao, Isaac Robinson-Smith, Gary Anthony Williams, Zeke Alton, Steve Toussaint, and Anika Noni Rose. The last time fans saw Wakanda was in 2022's 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,' the sequel to Marvel's 2018 best picture nominee. That movie introduced the underwater world of Atlantis and featured the returns of Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong'o, Angela Bassett, Winston Duke, Danai Gurira and Martin Freeman. Wakandans have popped up in other places in the MCU, including an appearance by Ayo, played by Florence Kasumba, in the Disney+ series 'The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.' The second-in-command of the Dora Milaje, Ayo first appeared in 'Captain America: Civil War.' The 'Wakanda' series is the first in a multi-year overall TV deal with Coogler's Proximity production company and The Walt Disney Company, with other TV projects in currently in development for the MCU. 'Eyes of Wakanda' is helmed by director/executive producer Todd Harris, who was first a storyboard artist on 'Black Panther' and 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' then as an illustrator on 'Sinners' before directing 'Eyes of Wakanda.' The show is executive produced by Coogler, Brad Winderbaum, Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, and Dana Vasquez-Eberhardt.

"Meet the Parents 4" Official Title Revealed
Yara Sameh The fourth Meet the Parents movie has set a title. "Focker in-Law" is the official title of the entry. Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Blythe Danner, Teri Polo and Owen Wilson will return for the fourth installment in the long-running comedy series, while Ariana Grande is joining the cast. The film's title references the surname of Stiller's character, Greg Focker. In the original movie, he endures a lot of painfully awkward hijinx while meeting his partner's parents for the first time. 'Meet the Parents,' which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, became a box office blockbuster with $330 million worldwide. The comedy of errors then spawned two commercially successful sequels: 2004's 'Meet the Fockers' (which introduced Greg's parents, Barbra Streisand and Dustin Hoffman) and 2010's 'Little Fockers.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by @fockerinlaw John Hamburg, who wrote the first three films, will pen and direct 'Focker in-Law.' Stiller teased the fourquel during a 25th anniversary screening of 'Meet the Parents,' saying they only returned because they found an 'organic reason' to revisit the characters. 'What spurred the idea is that I'm the age that Bob was when we did the first movie,' Stiller told the crowd at the Tribeca Festival. 'It felt like a mirror to the first film, where one of my kids is thinking about introducing his person to the family.' De Niro revealed he's read the screenplay, though he stopped short of offering any plot details. 'The script is really fun,' he shared. 'I'm looking forward to it.' Audiences, meanwhile, won't get a glimpse of the on-screen shenanigans until 'Focker in-Law' opens in theaters on November 25, 2026. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani

"Avatar: Fire and Ash" Trailer Is Finally Here
Yara Sameh Disney has finally unveiled the official trailer for director James Cameron's third 'Avatar' movie, titled 'Avatar: Fire and Ash.' The entry is scheduled to hit theaters on December 19, 2025, three years after 'Avatar: The Way of Water.' Just like 'The Way of Water' introduced the aquatic Metkayina clan of Pandora, 'Fire and Ash' will debut a new group called the Ash People. At the 2024 D23 Expo, Cameron came on stage to debut a teaser to attendees, which showed the fearsome, soot-covered tribe that danced around a giant fire pit. 'You'll see a lot more Pandora that you never saw before,' Cameron said at the 2024 D23 Expo. 'It's an insane adventure and a feast for the eyes, but it's also got very high emotional stakes, more than ever before,' Cameron said during the presentation. 'We're going into really challenging territory for all the characters you know and love.' Along with Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldaña, the returning cast includes Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Britain Dalton, Jack Champion, Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, Bailey Bass, Joel David Moore, Edie Falco, and Dileep Rao. Oona Chaplin plays the leader of the Ash People, Varang. David Thewlis and Michelle Yeoh are also joining the cast. The trailer shows Jake Sully's family and the Metkayina joining forces to fight against Varang and her fiery forces, who have allied with Quaritch (Lang). It appears that Varang can control fire, and her blazes burn down parts of Pandora's forest. 'Your goddess has no dominion here,' she says at the end of the trailer. 'The Way of Water' and 'Fire and Ash' were originally conceived as one film, but Cameron split them into separate movies once writing began and a massive story unfurled. He hinted at D23 that the Ash People are more violent and power-hungry than the Metkayina and the forest-dwelling Omaticaya. 'There are new characters, one especially I think you're gonna love, or love to hate,' he teased. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani
