Jordan Peele, Marlon Wayans Talk Sports Thriller ‘HIM' At Football-Themed Creators Event
'HIM stars former college wide-receiver Tyriq Withers (Atlanta, I Know What You Did Last Summer) as Cameron Cade, a rising-star quarterback who has devoted his life, and identity, to football. On the eve of professional football's annual scouting Combine, Cam is attacked by an unhinged fan and suffers a potentially career-ending brain trauma,' reads a synopsis for the film. 'Just when all seems lost, Cam receives a lifeline when his hero, Isaiah White (Marlon Wayans), a legendary eight-time Championship quarterback and cultural megastar, offers to train Cam at Isaiah's isolated compound that he shares with his celebrity influencer wife, Elsie White (Julia Fox; Uncut Gems, No Sudden Move). But as Cam's training accelerates, Isaiah's charisma begins to curdle into something darker, sending his protégé down a disorienting rabbit hole that may cost him more than he ever bargained for.'

'While I didn't agree to anything at that meeting, I did shock myself by agreeing to continue the conversation,' she explained. 'This has been a long process, and it's not over yet.' 'I promise you, we will only make this show if we know we can do it right,' Gellar added. 'And I will tell you that we are on the path there.' 16 Other photos showed the 'Buffy' star drinking a coffee between scenes.

Wrexham AFC history, 2025-26 season, promotions, stadium
A historic Welsh club turned Hollywood curiosity is now in the second tier of English football, one step away from the Premier League, as Wrexham AFC began their Championship season on August 9, 2025. The 2020 story that actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney were bidding to invest in Wrexham, a now-161-year-old club that had been out of the Football League since 2008, was not some sort of prank — and the Red Dragons have catapulted up the pyramid. Wrexham won promotion to the League Two in 2023, backing it up with promotions to League One in 2024 and the Championship last season. So how did this all happen? And what do you need to know about Wrexham AFC? Wrexham AFC history — How old are they? Where do they play? Wrexham were formed in 1864 and are the oldest club in Wales and one of the oldest football clubs in the world. Notts County and Sheffield FC claim earlier starts among activ e clubs. The club is one step away from the Premier League after winning promotion from League One last season, the most recent of three successive promotions. The Red Dragons had never played higher than the Football League Third Division from their founding until 1978-79, and this season in the Championship is as high as the club have ever made it in the Football League. Wrexham play their matches at the Racecourse Ground in Wrexham, Wales. Can Wrexham AFC win promotion to the Premier League? The Championship slate is grueling, and Wrexham will look to assert its safety in the second tier before concerning itself with a historic move to the Premier League, but the Red Dragons have not been quiet in the transfer mill. Conor Coady and Danny Ward aren't the only Premier League-experienced players on the roster, while a number of Championship-hardened players have also joined the team in Lewis O'Brien, Josh Windass, and Kieffer Moore. Wrexham also bought Liberato Cacace from Empoli, and already had Lewis Brunt, Matty James, James McClean, and Jack Marriott in the fold. Southampton, Ipswich Town, and Sheffield United are the favorites to win the Championship, and Leicester City, Coventry City, and Norwich City all boast impressive teams, but oddsmakers place Wrexham as an outside to reach the playoffs — not bad given their history. Wrexham AFC 2025-26 season schedule August 9 — at Southampton — Lost 2-1 August 16 — vs West Brom August 23 — vs Sheffield Wednesday August 30 — at Millwall September 13 — vs QPR September 20 — at Norwich City September 27 — vs Derby County September 30 — at Leicester City October 3 — vs Birmingham City October 18 — at Stoke City October 22 — vs Oxford United October 25 — at Middlesbrough October 31 — vs Coventry City November 5 — at Portsmouth November 8 — vs Charlton Athletic November 22 — at Ipswich Town November 26 — vs Bristol City November 29 — vs Blackburn Rovers December 6 — at Preston North End December 10 — at Hull City December 13 — vs Watford December 19 — at Swansea City December 26 — vs Sheffield United December 29 — vs Preston North End January 1 — at Blackburn Rovers January 4 — at Derby County January 17 — vs Norwich City January 20 — vs Leicester City January 24 — at QPR January 31 — at Sheffield Wednesday February 7 — vs Millwall February 14 — at Bristol City February 21 — vs Ipswich Town February 24 — vs Portsmouth February 28 — at Charlton Athletic March 7 — at Watford March 10 — vs Hull City March 14 — vs Swansea City March 21 — at Sheffield United April 3 — at West Brom April 6 — vs Southampton April 11 — at Birmingham City April 18 — vs Stoke City April 21 — at Oxford United April 25 — at Coventry City May 2 — vs Middlesbrough League Cup August 12 — vs Hull City
