Under such deals, films typically become available on streaming after their theatrical and digital home release cycles are completed.As a reference point, another recent A24 release, Babygirl, began streaming on Max nearly four months after its cinema debut.

Pedro Pascal to appear as Joel Miller again in The Last of Us season 3? Here's the truth
Pedro Pascal, Chris Evans and Dakota Johnson's rom-com Materialists has been generating buzz ever since its trailer dropped. Helmed by Celine Song, the movie was released in theatres on June 13. It has managed to attract viewers, despite big-ticket releases like How to Train Your Dragon. Materialists is expected to earn around $8 million to $10 million in its opening weekend, as per Variety. For Pedro Pascal's fans, the movie is another chance to see the actor after his exit from The Last of Us season 2. Pascal's role as Joel Miller in the series won him critical acclaim. His bonding with Ellie (played by Bella Ramsey) as the duo traverse through a post-apocalyptic America filled with zombie-like creatures was the heart of the story. In the second season of The Last of Us, Pascal's character is killed off by Abby (Kaitlyn Dever). The gruesome nature of his death drives Ellie's quest for revenge, setting up the plot for the rest of the season. The creators of the show, based on the hit video games of the same name, stopped short of answering whether Pedro Pascal will make a comeback in the third season of the HBO drama. While Joel Miller was supposed to die in the show, similar to the storyline of the video games, the popularity of Pedro Pascal indicates he could reappear in the third installment. Show co-creator Craig Mazin told TVline, 'All I can say is we haven't seen the last of Kaitlyn Dever, and we haven't seen the last of Bella Ramsey, and we haven't seen the last of Isabela Merced, and we haven't seen the last of a lot of people who are currently dead in the story. So I guess the short answer to that question that everyone is asking is: No, I'm not answering.'

Lucy's growing closeness with Harry and the return of her ex-boyfriend (Chris Evans) put her at a crossroads. One of the famous scenes in Materialists that made waves since the trailer release was the first meeting with all three characters. Director Celine Song told the New York Times that this was the first scene she wrote for the movie. He left the show as his character, Joel Miller, was killed off in the second season. His performances in shows like The Last of Us, Game of Thrones, The Mandalorian, and Narcos have made him a well-known figure in the entertainment industry. Yes, he will make his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut with Fantastic Four: First Steps.

Stranger Things cast members caught in controversy chaos as final season approaches
As Stranger Things moves towards its final season on Netflix, fans' palpable excitement has met with real-life controversies involving the cast of the show. While fans look forward to saying goodbye to Hawkins and the Upside Down, off-screen drama surrounding stars like Noah Schnapp, Brett Gelman, and Joseph Quinn has taken center stage, as reported by Daily Mail. From political outbursts to messy romances, the cast's controversies are as chaotic as the series itself. Brett Gelman, who plays the quirky and karate-skilled Murray Bauman, became a central figure in the fourth season. His breakout moments, rescuing Hopper and fighting off guards, earned him praise and even sparked a shift in how he viewed his career. 'I would really like to be that fun action star,' he told The Guardian. But in 2023, Gelman's support for Noah Schnapp and outspoken views on the Israel-Hamas war drew sharp reactions. Speaking to TMZ, he defended Schnapp's 'Zionism is sexy' sticker and added, 'I do believe that Israel has the right to defend itself… but at the same time I don't know why no one is placing their deaths at all at the responsibility of Hamas.' He also lashed out at pro-Palestinian voices online, branding them 'fake woke liberals' in a series of posts that many called aggressive and insensitive.

Post-Stranger Things, the British actor has soared, landing the role of George Harrison in Sam Mendes' Beatles biopics. But it's his off-screen link-up with singer Doja Cat that has sparked debate. Their romance first made headlines in 2024, months after Doja was criticized for mocking COVID-19 fears and allegedly appearing in controversial chat rooms. The backlash intensified when fans dug up her 2022 feud with Noah Schnapp. She had asked the teen actor to set her up with Quinn — messages he later shared online. According to the Daily Mail, as the show nears its end, other cast members are also facing renewed scrutiny. David Harbour, who plays Hopper, allegedly split from Lily Allen after she suspected infidelity involving a younger colleague. Charlie Heaton, too, was once detained at a US airport in 2017 after traces of cocaine were found on him, though producers defended him and he stayed on the show. Noah Schnapp's political views continue to divide fans. Some still want him dropped, while others accept his apology and call for empathy. Yes. Natalia Dyer (Nancy) and Charlie Heaton (Jonathan) have been in a relationship since around 2017. 'Friends don't lie.' – a recurring line from Eleven, considered the emotional core of the series. Millie Bobby Brown leads the list, thanks to acting roles, brand deals, and her beauty brand. For the most part, yes. The main cast has often spoken about their close bond, though some off-screen drama and scandals have occasionally stirred tensions.
