The Real-Life Miserable Marriage of Consuelo Vanderbilt That Inspired The Gilded Age
The third season of The Gilded Age is not a love story. It is, however, a story about marriage: the first episode is centered around Gladys Russell (Taissa Farmiga), the teen daughter of Bertha and George, who is head over heels for Billy Carlton (Matt Walker), a well-to-do young man in New York society. He and Gladys want to marry. However, her mother (Carrie Coon) refuses to approach the match. 'It's not happening,' she says in the last minutes of the episode. Why? She wants Gladys to marry the Duke of Buckingham—a British aristocrat who would elevate the family's standing from the top of New York society to the top of European society.

Photo: Karolina Wojtasik / Courtesy of HBO As is often the case in his shows, Julien Fellowes was inspired by a real-life historical event for this particular plot-line: the 'marriage of convenience' between Consuelo Vanderbilt and the Duke of Marlborough. Consuelo Vanderbilt, the daughter of William Kissam Vanderbilt and Alva Vanderbilt, was just 19 when she was forced to marry Charles Spencer Churchill, the ninth Duke of Marlborough. Forced is not an exaggeration: her memoir, The Glitter and the Gold, details the lengths her overbearing mother went to ensure the union. Consuelo hoped to marry for love: specifically, Winthrop Rutherford, a handsome American who was a member of Ward McAllister's 'The Four Hundred'—or, the notable New York families that were considered to make up the cream of New York society at the time. Yet, during a trip to Europe, it became clear to Gladys that Alva intended for her to find an aristocratic suitor within the continent's gentry. While the children of her New York peers often married well, none of them had married into titles. At first, the options were lackluster. 'That summer, I received two or three other proposals from uninteresting Englishmen, which I found slightly disillusioning. They were so evidently dictated by a desire for my dowry, a reflection that was included to dispel whatever thoughts of romance might come my way,' she wrote. But then they arrived for a weekend at Blenheim Palace, the family seat of the Marlboroughs. There, Mrs. Vanderbilt found the socially advantageous bachelor she was looking for.

Mr. Fantastic Might Be the MCU's True Tony Stark Successor — GeekTyrant
Ever since Tony Stark snapped away Thanos and exited the MCU in Avengers: Endgame , Marvel Studios has been circling a massive, Iron-Man-shaped void. Sure, they've toyed with the idea filling it with other characters like War Machine, Doctor Strange, and Ironheart, but none of them quite clicked into place. They've carried pieces of Stark's legacy, but not the weight of it. Because Tony Stark wasn't just a genius or a billionaire in a cool suit. He was anxious, brilliant, driven by guilt, and often making things worse in the name of making them better. He was the flawed engine that powered the Avengers. Now, Marvel might have finally found the guy who can carry that emotional and intellectual mantle. Pedro Pascal's Reed Richards is being positioned not just as the leader of the Fantastic Four, but as a foundational figure in the MCU's next chapter. Director Matt Shakman recently told Empire Magazine: 'There's the very cerebral Reed Richards, and then there's the action hero, the leader, the husband, the father, the friend. I knew Pedro could do all of that…' But it's Pascal's own read on the character that really feels like the handoff from Stark: 'He does the ultimate version of catastrophising – a brain that has an overview of threats on a mathematical level, but also being emotionally available. It was a fascinating contradiction.' That word, catastrophising, might as well have been engraved on Stark's arc reactor. Stark didn't create Ultron because he was confident. He did it because he was scared. He backed the Sokovia Accords out of fear of what unchecked power might do. He prepared for threats that hadn't even materialized yet. Every suit, every upgrade, every decision was driven by panic and guilt. Now we have Reed Richards, a man so smart he can see the end before it starts, yet still capable of being emotionally undone by it. It's like Tony 2.0. Reed, like Tony, isn't perfect. He's someone who will miscalculate, who will overreach, who will think he's the only one who sees the full picture, and act on that belief. And just like Stark, that will make him both dangerous and necessary. Because the MCU doesn't just need a brain or a leader. It needs a character whose inner world hurts in ways that push the story forward. If Fantastic Four: First Steps sticks the landing, then Reed Richards won't just be leading the First Family. He'll be filling Tony's shoes.

Hideo Kojima Says He'll 'Guide' the DEATH STRANDING Movie, but Knows When to Step Back: 'I Have to Trust These People' — GeekTyrant
As the live-action film adaptation of Hideo Kojima's wildly unique game Death Stranding moves forward at A24, the legendary developer made it clear he's not looking to hover over every creative decision. Instead, he's choosing a more measured, collaborative role. Kojima told Variety: 'I think I will help produce it – I need to kind of guide the project – but I can't direct it myself, schedule-wise. I made Death Stranding as a game, so in order to turn it into a movie, it'll be something totally different.' That creative distance doesn't mean he's uninvolved. He's still keeping an eye on things, but with respect for the talent he's brought on board. 'But it's my baby, so I would like to overlook the project. I'm teaming up with A24 and Michael Sarnoski, so he will be writing and directing. 'I'll let them work on it without too much of my input, because that might get in their way. I don't want to go in and ask them to make a bunch of changes; that's not cool. I have to trust these people, and I trust A24 and Michael.' That trust is likely well-placed. Sarnoski, who directed Pig , has not only shown he can handle emotionally rich, unconventional stories, but he's also reportedly played Death Stranding and Metal Gear Solid 1 , though Kojima deliberately asked him not to touch the MGS sequels. Why? Likely to keep his vision for the adaptation untainted by deeper lore or unnecessary comparisons. This isn't the only Death Stranding adaptation in the works either. An anime film is also in development, with Prisoners and Raised by Wolves writer Aaron Guzikowski onboard. Guzikowski said: 'I love the world of Death Stranding, it's so creatively freeing, so beautifully dark and yet hopeful; I'm so excited and honored that Hideo Kojima, whose work I've long admired, has invited me to dwell within his creation, to birth new stories into this fertile, mind-bending universe. Drawing and animation have always been near and dear to my heart, so to finally get to play in this space is a dream come true.' There's no release date yet for the movie, but if Kojima's history tells us anything, it's that we're in for something unorthodox and very human. Whether through anime or live-action, Death Stranding is finding new ways to connect.
