SUPERMAN Character Posters Feature Superman, Krypto, The Justice Gang, and More — GeekTyrant
DC Studios has released the first wave of Superman character posters, and they spotlight the movie's superhero metahumans. Below, you'll see Superman (David Corenswet), Krypto, Superman Robot #4 (Alan Tudyk), Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi), and Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced). I imagine these posters will be followed by more posters that put the focus on the villains of the film. Superman will tell the story of 'Superman's journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. 'He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned. 'It's set in a world very different from ours and far removed from the DCEU. Heroes have been around for ages, and we'll see how it affected this world's history and has shaped the DCU." The movie is scheduled for a theatrical release on July 11, 2025.

Resident Alien Season 4 OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Alan Tudyk and Sara Tomko's mystery series
Resident Alien Season 4 OTT Release Date: After months of waiting and plenty of fan speculation, Resident Alien is finally returning for its fourth season, and things are getting weirder, darker, and funnier than ever. If you've been following the story of the alien-turned-doctor Harry Vanderspeigle and his bizarre adventures in the small Colorado town of Patience, get ready to buckle up. The fourth chapter kicks off on Friday, June 6, 2025, airing at 11 PM ET/PT on Syfy and USA Network, with new episodes landing on Peacock a week later. Indian viewers can stream Resident Alien Season 4 on JioHotstar starting June 7. Previously, in patience... Season 3 left viewers hanging on multiple fronts. Harry, played with brilliant awkwardness and charm by Alan Tudyk, was trying to figure out his role on Earth. He had already aborted his original mission to destroy humanity (thankfully), but that didn't mean Earth was safe. By the finale, things were getting truly alien. We met Harry's half-alien daughter, Bridget, and watched as they both were abducted by the Greys and taken to their Moonbase. Meanwhile, back on Earth, things were unravelling. A sinister new alien species, the Mantids, made their presence known, and one of them had shapeshifted into a doppelgänger of Harry. Yes, there were now two Harrys in Patience, and the wrong one was walking around pretending to be him. Asta, Harry's closest human ally (Sara Tomko), had her own emotional rollercoaster. Her relationship with her father, Dan, and her own sense of identity were tugging at her deeply. D'Arcy, still recovering from physical and emotional wounds, was caught in her own web of regret and vulnerability. Meanwhile, Sheriff Mike and Deputy Liv continued being the unlikely, low-key MVPs of the town's law enforcement even as more strange things began happening around them. What's coming in Season 4? Resident Alien Season 4 doesn't waste time. It opens right where Season 3 ended, Harry and Bridget are prisoners on the Greys' Moonbase. They're being studied, interrogated, and ultimately forced to reckon with the larger alien threat looming over Earth. Harry manages to escape, of course, he's too clever not to, but Earth has changed in his absence. Back in Patience, the Mantid, posing as Harry, has been causing havoc. This new enemy is smarter, deadlier, and utterly devoid of Harry's fumbling humanity. As the real Harry returns, he's faced with an impossible task: convince the town that he's the real alien doctor and stop the Mantid before it does something irreversible. At the heart of the season, though, is still Harry's evolution. He's not the alien assassin he once was. He's someone, something, that cares. And that empathy will be tested like never before. Meet the cast and characters Alan Tudyk remains the heart and soul of the show alongside Sara Tomko, as Asta, who grounds the show emotionally. The returning cast includes Alice Wetterlund as the resilient D'Arcy, Corey Reynolds as Sheriff Mike, Elizabeth Bowen as the ever-curious Deputy Liv, Levi Fiehler as Mayor Ben, and Judah Prehn as the ever-sceptical Max. Stephen Root, known for roles in Barry and Office Space, is joining the mix this season as Harry's alien 'father'.

TV Review: RESIDENT ALIEN Season 4
He's back, and this is, in fact, not some bullsh*t. Harry Vanderspeigle (Alan Tudyk) is having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day (as is his son, Bridget), but at least his misery is entertaining. When last we saw Harry in Resident Alien , he was stuck on the Greys' Moonbase, with the Mantid (also Tudyk) returning to Earth with Asta (Sara Tomko), D'arcy (Alice Wetterlund) and Ben/Kate's baby. Now, in Season 4, Harry must find a way to escape and defeat the alien impostor masquerading as him in Patience. Recently, I had the privilege of screening the first four episodes of Resident Alien Season 4. Does it pass muster? Does it exceed expectations? Read on for our spoiler-free review. RELATED: Geek Girl Authority Crush of the Week: Resident Alien 's Asta Twelvetrees About Resident Alien Season 4 RESIDENT ALIEN — 'Prisoners' Season 4 Episode 1 — Pictured: Corey Reynolds as Sheriff Mike Thompson — (Photo by: James Dittiger/USA Network) Here's a synopsis per Syfy: 'The fourth season starts with Harry (Tudyk) and his baby Bridget stuck in prison on the Grey Moonbase, while a shape-shifting Alien called a Mantid (also Tudyk) has taken over his body on Earth, passing himself off as the real Harry Vanderspeigle. Harry manages to escape the Greys and arrives back on Earth for a showdown with the Mantid Alien, but soon finds he may not have what he needs to finish the job. Asta (Tomko) and D'arcy (Wetterlund) struggle to keep a secret from Ben (Levi Fiehler) and Kate (Meredith Garretson), who are both desperate to find answers to what has been happening to them. Sheriff Mike (Corey Reynolds) and Deputy Liv (Elizabeth Bowen) attempt to solve some mysterious deaths in Patience that Sheriff Mike is beginning to think aren't caused by anything human.' Season 4 boasts a somewhat shaky start, with some storylines feeling rushed. Of course, the stakes are high. The Mantid is a formidable foe for our heroes and poses a significant threat to the people of Patience. As usual, though, the series tackles the Mantid issue with its signature quirkiness and wit. RELATED: 10 Out-of-This-World Predictions for Resident Alien Season 4 Performances RESIDENT ALIEN — 'Prisoners' Season 4 Episode 1 — Pictured: Sara Tomko as Asta Twelvetrees — (Photo by: James Dittiger/USA Network) Alan Tudyk knocks it out of the park, showcasing his versatility while playing Harry and the Mantid. He's still the comedic crux of Resident Alien . His scenes are always laugh-out-loud funny, and I'm someone who, while I watch more comedies than anything else, seldom laughs out loud. Tudyk is a slapstick aficionado — the king of physical comedy. He squeezes every drop out of a word, a line, even a glance. Nothing is wasted. If there's room for a laugh-inducing moment, Tudyk successfully swings for the fences. Corey Reynolds continues to kill it as Mike Thompson, the self-described 'no-nonsense' yet conspiracy theory-fueled sheriff who just had his own alien experience in the Season 3 finale. Reynolds walks that fine line between heightened comedy and realism. He knows how to make this over-the-top character, who could be merely comedic relief, feel grounded and honest. And the comedy blooms from that honesty. Alice Wetterlund shines in episode three, in particular, especially when opposite Tudyk. D'arcy is at her comedic best when focused on a mission, and she gets a lot of fun material in Season 4. Sara Tomko is still delightful as the 'straight man' character (and our human perspective) amid a roster of zany players, but she, too, stretches her comedic muscles this season. Not that Asta has never been funny; however, she doesn't fall squarely into that straight man category as much in Season 4. Tomko is at her funniest with Tudyk and/or Wetterlund. Those three are comedy dynamite together. RELATED: Read our Resident Alien recaps Enver Gjokaj plays off Tudyk well and gets his time in the limelight in episode two. He has fantastic comedic chops and should appear in more comedies if I have anything to say about it. Jenna Lamia is somehow even more hilarious as Judy this season, too. Finding Its Footing RESIDENT ALIEN — 'Prisoners' Season 4 Episode 1 — Pictured: (l-r) Levi Fiehler as Mayor Ben Hawthorne, Meredith Garretson as Kate Hawthorne — (Photo by: James Dittiger/USA Network) Circling back to my earlier remark about the rocky start, part of this is down to the initial separation of the cast. To me, this show is at its best when Harry interacts frequently with the human cast — his very alien demeanor bouncing off the springboard that is the more grounded characters. We get less of this in the first four episodes, along with pacing issues with certain arcs. However, Season 4 also introduces intriguing new storylines and, ultimately, begins finding its footing after a few episodes. These respective plots start to gel better further into the season and, after some bumps, everything flows with more ease. It also takes a beat to rediscover the show's heart and balance its trademark blend of humor and heart. Resident Alien Season 4 takes a hot minute to reorient itself and return to the hysterically heartfelt series we all love. Still, when it fires on all cylinders, it's truly, well, firing on all cylinders. Mind you, this is only having viewed episodes one through four. As with anything, there's room for improvement, and the new narrative threads are ripe with potential. I can't wait to see where we go from here. Be sure to have pepperoni pizza (and your emotional support human bestie) on hand when Resident Alien Season 4 premieres on Friday, June 6, 2025, at 11 pm EST/PST on USA Network and Syfy.

‘Andor' Season 2 Composer On Scoring The Show's Poignant Conclusion: ‘Don't Mess That Up!'
Key art for Season 2 of 'Andor' on Disney+. © 2025 Lucasfilm Ltd™. All Rights Reserved. Andor has officially come to an end and, as promised by its creators, the Season 2 finale (also the series conclusion) led directly into the events of the acclaimed Episode IV prequel, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. In the show's final moments, battle-worn Rebel spy Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) and his sardonic droid buddy, K-2S0 (voiced by Alan Tudyk), set off for the Ring of Kafrene to meet with Cassian's confidential informant. That contact is Tivik (portrayed in Rogue One by Daniel Mays), who will corroborate the intel Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgård) died for: The Empire has indeed built a super-weapon — the dreaded, planet-destroying battle station known as the Death Star — to crush all remnants of dissent throughout the galaxy once and for all. But as our titular hero flies off to hear the crucial piece of information that will ultimately bring peace to that collection of stars far, far away, there's the stabbing knowledge in the back of our minds that he, K-2SO, and so many others are doomed. Dozens of courageous souls are destined to meet their ends on Scarif while stealing and transmitting the Death Star plans to their cohorts hovering above the tropical planet. In other words, the Andor finale is the very definition of bittersweet when taken alongside the existing context Rogue One established nearly a decade ago. It's a context that grows ever more poignant by way of the series' finale scene, which returns us to the Outer Rim farming world of Mina-Rau, where Bix (Adria Arjona) has been living since she made the difficult decision to leave Cassian on Yavin 4. Walking into the wheat fields, Bix carries a newborn child and looks up as the sun breaks through an overcast sky. While the baby's identity is not explicitly confirmed, there can be no doubt of its paternal origin. Cassian's child is, quite literally, the embodiment of a new hope; the start of a fresh generation that will know freedom and self-determination, thanks to Casssian's noble sacrifice.

Scoring such an impactful bookend was no small feat for Season 2 composer Brandon Roberts, who got the chance to watch all 12 episodes before writing the music. 'That's rare,' he notes over a Zoom call. 'Normally, they're in process [while you're scoring] When Roberts got to the last episode, there was no music — not even a temp track. 'I was very sick at the time," he remembers. "I was in bed, watching it on my laptop, and [when] I got to that scene, I openly wept. It was so beautiful and such a perfect way to end that story; such a perfect way to re-contextualize Rogue One, that I was very overwhelmed and surprised by that moment. I couldn't believe how beautiful it was. And then the second thought I had was, 'Don't mess that up! It doesn't even need music!' I did score the sequence, but even up until the end, we kept it so minimal, because the moment, and Bix's expression…it was all there onscreen.' Andor creator, showrunner, and executive producer Tony Gilroy (also a co-screenwriter on Rogue One) was apparently very hands-on with the score, regularly flying in to Los Angeles from London or New York in order to visit Roberts' studio for days at a time. 'We would sit there, going through every cue, in every scene … fine tune it and try stuff," Roberts says. "A lot of it [was] taking music out. Sometimes, it was, 'Hey, I think we can wait longer to bring the music in.' We would fine tune it and go down to the wire. It was a really wonderful way to collaborate, and I haven't had that level of intensity for that extended period of time with a director. Tony is extremely musical, so it was a good match. I think by the time we went to the recording sessions [at the British Grove Studios in London], everyone was on the same page. There were no surprises. The whole process was very smooth." Both seasons of Andor are now streaming exclusively on Disney+

TUCKER & DALE VS. EVIL Director Blames David Zaslav for Killing TV Spinoff: 'The Slayer of All Cinema' — GeekTyrant
It's been 15 years since Tucker & Dale vs. Evil flipped the horror comedy slasher genre on its head, and fans have been hungry for more ever since. Now, director Eli Craig has revealed he was developing a spinoff series and shed new light on why it hasn't happened. In a recent interview with /Film, Craig revealed that the series was set up at TNT/TBS and it would've seen Tucker and Dale become hilariously incompetent detectives. Unfortunately, that concept never made it to air, and Craig puts the blame squarely on the former Discovery CEO, David Zaslav. 'We almost did a TV show with it that was on TNT/TBS, and you'll be happy to know that David Zaslav, the slayer of all cinema [laughs], came in and put the final nail in the coffin for Tucker and Dale as we were about to go to series, and just cancelled all production.' The original 2010 film starred Alan Tudyk and Tyler Labine as two sweet-natured hillbillies who are mistaken for bloodthirsty killers by a group of panicked college students, who then proceed to accidentally kill themselves in absurd and hilarious fashion. It became an instant hit with genre fans and currently boasts an 86% critic score and 85% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Still, despite its cult status and strong international performance Craig says the lackluster domestic box office, just $223,838, has made it hard for Hollywood to take the property seriously. Craig joked: 'Tucker and Dale 2 has died more deaths than the college kids in Tucker and Dale. 'We've had so many versions that have almost got off its feet or, for one reason or another, have gotten killed. It really does set us back that people can't look at the box office, the actual box office, of the movie.' The axed TV series would have been a fresh and fun twist: 'It would have been more like Tucker and Dale, but detectives. Detective Tucker and Dale, like, stupidly trying to figure out what's happening in a world where they're always getting it wrong and people are dying around them.' Despite all the false starts, Craig hasn't given up hope, saying: 'I've never completely let go of the idea we'd make a sequel. And part of the reason people want to see a sequel is because it's set up for it. ' Tucker and Dale , when I wrote it, there were these elements I wanted to follow, like Chad is still alive, Allison and Dale's story.' Craig wrapped the conversation with a message to fans: 'Hollywood is a slayer of great ideas. But stay alive, fans! Because there's always a possibility.' So while the TV show may be officially dead, the dream of more Tucker and Dale chaos lives on. Just maybe don't expect it to happen while Zaslav's still swinging the axe.
