Rebecca Romijn says "wasn't sure" if she completed shoot for 'Avengers: Doomsday' - 'The script hasn't ...'
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Actress and former model Rebecca Romijn shared an update about her return as 'Mystique' in the highly anticipated 'Avengers: Doomsday', according to The Hollywood Reporter. The script hasn't -- they haven't finished writing it Rebecca Romijn shared that she wasn't sure if she had finished filming for the forthcoming Marvel film because the script wasn't fully complete. "I'm not quite sure," she said when asked if she was done shooting her scenes. "The script hasn't -- they haven't finished writing it. It's been very, very fun, and we don't know yet. They keep everything very close to the vest themselves in an effort to keep everything under wraps," as per The Hollywood Reporter. When asked if she had read the script, she didn't open up much about it, saying, "I cannot confirm nor deny that I have read the entire script." She also admitted she "can't say" who she's filmed scenes alongside, but it was a "surreal" experience shooting with some of her original X-Men co-stars with a new, blended cast, as per the outlet. "It was very surreal to be with my old cast as well as a new cast. I had crazy dreams while I was there for a large chunk of the shooting. Like, really kind of regressive dreams," she shared. "It was very strange, my brain was really trying to organise. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Treatment That Might Help You Against Knee Pain Knee pain | search ads Find Now Undo Like, wow, this is a character I played 25 years ago, 20 years ago.

The actress also shared what it was like revisiting the role of Mystique, nearly 20 years after she last portrayed the character in 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand. "Oh, I know her very well. I went back in with full ownership of her. It was very nice to go back and play that character, 'cause I had imposter syndrome in the very beginning," she said. "I thought, maybe at the very beginning, I was just cast because I happened to be the model who was available to play Mystique at that moment. I mean, I auditioned and I got the role, because when you're very young, you're like, Do I deserve to be here? And I did not have that going back this time. It was a very different experience." Marvel revealed the Avengers: Doomsday cast in late March, which notably includes a string of actors from 20th Century Fox's X-Men universe. Joining Romijn from the inaugural 2000 film are Patrick Stewart as Professor X, Ian McKellen as Magneto and James Marsden as Cyclops. The Traitors host Alan Cumming also returns as Nightcrawler, whom he played in 'X2: X-Men United', and Kelsey Grammer as Beast, from X-Men: The Last Stand, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

‘Percy Jackson' Season 2 gets premiere date — Season 3 casts fan-favourites Nico and Bianca
Disney+ has set December 10 as the premiere date for season two of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the fantasy series based on Rick Riordan's bestselling books. The announcement came Thursday during the show's panel at San Diego Comic-Con, which also included a teaser trailer and news about future casting. The upcoming season adapts The Sea of Monsters, the second book in Riordan's series. In a video message to fans, Riordan confirmed the date and previewed the introduction of Tyson, a Cyclops and Percy's half-brother, played by The Half of It actor Daniel Diemer. A brief glimpse of a chariot race scene at Camp Half-Blood was also included in the teaser. Executive producer Craig Silverstein praised the production scale, saying the chariot track was 'the most amazing set I've been on in my whole career.' Actor Timothy Simons, who plays Tantalus in season two, joked about the show's budget, referencing its 'fire budget' for effects-heavy scenes. The panel also offered a major update on season three. Riordan revealed that two fan-favorite characters from the books — Nico and Bianca di Angelo — have been cast. Levi Chrisopulos will play Nico as a series regular, while Olive Abercrombie will recur as Bianca. Chrisopulos has stage experience in Peter Pan and a guest role on FBI, while Abercrombie previously appeared in Mayfair Witches and Outer Range. Meet the di Angelo siblings. 🏹 Levi Chrisopulos is Nico di Angelo 🏹 Olive Abercrombie is Bianca di Angelo — Percy Jackson (@PercySeries) July 24, 2025 Season three will adapt The Titan's Curse, with production expected to begin soon. In addition to Scobell and Diemer, the panel featured series stars Leah Sava Jeffries, Aryan Simhadri, Charlie Bushnell, and Dior Goodjohn, alongside executive producers Jonathan E. Steinberg, Dan Shotz, and Silverstein. Riordan and his wife Rebecca remain closely involved as executive producers.

Exclusive first look at Daniel Diemer as Tyson on 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2'
"He's just so, so perfect," creator Rick Riordan tells EW. Grab your largest tub of peanut butter, because Tyson has arrived on Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Entertainment Weekly has your exclusive first look at Daniel Diemer playing Percy's (Walker Scobell) Cyclops half-brother in the season 2 premiere in the photo above. "He's such a big part of the story in season 2," creator Rick Riordan tells EW. "Daniel Diemer, who plays Tyson, the Cyclops half-brother of Percy, he's just so, so perfect. I don't know that I had a visual image for what Tyson would look like in the season, but now, it's definitely Daniel Diemer because he embodies the character. He's got this fantastic mix of sweetness and vulnerability, but he's also this really big guy, and you can see that he's got a lot of strength. He makes you fall in love with Tyson." Just like in the book, Tyson is introduced immediately in the season 2 premiere as a new friend of Percy's while he's living at home with his mother Sally (Virginia Kull). While Percy doesn't yet realize Tyson is also a son of Poseidon (Toby Stephens), making them half-brothers, they'll both learn that fact sooner rather than later — to varying reactions. Most notably, Annabeth (Leah Jeffries) hates all Cyclops due to trauma in her past, so expect Percy's new family member to cause tension between the two demigods. Joining the cast in season 2 was a dream come true for Diemer, who has been a fan of Riordan's book series since they first came out. "I grew up with it," Diemer, 29, tells EW. "As soon as I came off a movie I did a few years ago, I started having a bunch of meetings with Disney about some possible projects, and the first thing that I asked about was, 'I heard Percy's in the running. I'd love to get in there [to audition] for Percy.' They were like, 'No, we're casting 13-year-olds.' So to then get Tyson was amazing." Diemer had chemistry reads with both Scobell and Jeffries during his four-month audition process, which helped alleviate some worries Scobell had about introducing the character this season. "I was honestly really nervous because you have this very strong vision of what Tyson looks and acts like when you're reading the book," Scobell tells EW. "I was nervous going into season 2 for who they were going to cast for Tyson, because I was like, 'How are they going to do this, but also not offend anyone or make this seem disrespectful to anyone?' And I think he just did a perfect job." While extremely large and strong, Tyson is essentially just an 8-year-old child looking for his forever home after living on the streets. "He's kind of like this fostered Great Dane puppy," Diemer says. "It's like his feet are too big, his limbs are too long. He's tripping over himself, but he's just been taken in off the streets and he's so excited to be part of what he hopes is going to be his forever family. There's this hope there, but also there's this history, and so there's a lot of trauma there that he needs to work through. Luckily he's got the greatest big brother in the world to work through that with." While their relationship starts off as "a little rocky," Diemer says, the brothers eventually "find their groove together." "And as they find out their relationship and how they're connected, it really kind of takes off and has this beautiful arc of them finding each other in a really lovely way," Diemer adds. Portraying the baby Cyclops was not easy, however. Diemer worried about making Tyson "too much of a caricature" if he went "completely baby Cyclops." He focused on finding the balance between Tyson's innocence and heart, combined with his traumatic history. What helped immensely was not having to rely on any prosthetics or motion capture to give him the appearance of one eye, since that was all done in post-production. "We didn't have any prosthetics," Diemer says. "I saw some behind-the-scenes [footage] in the original Sea of Monsters movie, and they had a lot of dots for [actor] Douglas Smith, [who played Tyson]. So all of that was basically taking everything that I'm giving and combining it as best as they can with the CGI into a singular eye so that the performance is maintained. The actual on-set experience was just me being here with the kids, and there was nothing else that got in the way."Diemer adds it was a "huge, huge relief" to not have to sit in a makeup chair for five hours every day "for the next five years." "I didn't want to do that at all," he says with a laugh. "To just be able to exist within my own skin was such a gift. It allowed me to really relax and act the way that I normally do." Give or take a few years, of course. For more on Percy Jackson season 2, check out EW's full cover story. The series returns December 10 on Disney+.

An Update On ‘Paradise' Season 2 On Hulu Well Ahead Of Its Release Date
Paradise Hulu has managed to slip in some Emmy nominations this year for a brand new series, Paradise, the post-apocalyptic Sterling K. Brown drama where he plays a Secret Service agent now living in an idyllic town…miles under the earth after the world is blown up. Paradise was renewed way back in February of this year, and now we have a new update on season 2 for the first time in a while. The news comes from an interview with EW, in which bizarre things are discussed like the goofy idea for a Last of Us crossover, but some actual news about what's coming. Here's Brown on season 2 (spoilers ahead): Paradise And how he's going to have to travel: The goal is to get from Colorado to Atlanta, where he believes his not-dead wife is. He also says yes, of course, that there will be plenty going on in Paradise itself, even if he is on a new mission. There will also be more of James Marsden in presidential flashbacks, but not as many as before, no doubt. Marsden is actually joining Your Friends and Neighbors on Apple for season 2 of that show, and he has also been filming Avengers: Doomsday, reprising his 20-year-old role as Cyclops. There's also a tease about Shailene Woodley joining the cast in season 2. It's likely she's someone that Xavier finds on the surface, and he praises her as a person and a new friend after filming. 'She's outstanding,' he says. What we do not have is an actual release date for Paradise season 2. The 'anticipated' window is early in 2026, as the creator says he doesn't want a huge gap between seasons. That could be a year or a year and a half, depending. But this is streaming, so likely more toward the latter. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.
