Avengers Doomsday: Pedro Pascal Reacts to Rumors of Reed Richards Leading Superheroes in MCU Film, 'It's Big News...'
Pedro Pascal entered the MCU with a bang with The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The actor portrays the role of Reed Richards in the latest Marvel release, as he heads out to save the world from the evil of Galactus. While the movie star will reprise his role of Mr. Fantastic in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, there have been rumors that his role will lead the superheroes in the film. However, reacting to the rumors, the actor, in the new interview, revealed that it is news to him too. Moreover, Pascal clarifies that the confusion took place after the director, Matt Shakman 's interview, was misunderstood. The filmmaker said that Reed was the hardest role to cast because 'he goes from being the nerdy scientist who's locked away in the lab to the husband and the father who'd do anything to protect his family to the guy who's leading the Avengers.' Pedro Pascal reacts to the rumors of Reed Richards leading the Avengers While sitting down for an interview with the Associated Press, the Last of Us star claimed that Shakman's statement was a bit of a mislead. The movie star shared, 'It's big news to me, that's for one.' He further said, 'I think Matt Shakman was doing an interview and when he was speaking about Reed… there is something that happens in the comics where he is sort of drawn in by the Avengers family and asked to be put into a leadership position.' The actor added that the storyline is appropriate for the character. It does not mean that his character in the film will also act accordingly. Elsewhere in the conversation, the actor revealed, 'I am being honest in that. I am not even trying to avoid spoilers. It's a little bit of a mislead.' What we know about Avengers: Doomsday Pascal will return as Reed Richards in Avengers: Doomsday, alongside his Fantastic Four cast members, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Mosses-Bachrach. The team of the recently released film will join the remaining Avengers in the Russo Brothers directorial to fight the evil of Dr. Victor von Doom. Moreover, Robert Downey Jr. will return to the MCU, not as a hero, but as the villainous Dr. Doom. The movie is scheduled to hit theaters in December 2026.

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.

When will 'The Last of Us' Season 3 come out? HBO boss talks future of series
When will fans see the last of "The Last of Us"? In a recent interview with Variety, HBO and HBO Max content chair Casey Bloys confirmed the acclaimed series is aiming to debut its third season about two years from now. But Bloys said it has not been determined whether that will be the final season. "The series is definitely planned for 2027," Bloys told Variety. "(Creator) Craig (Mazin) is still working it out whether it will be two more seasons or one more long season. It hasn't been decided yet, and I'm following Craig's lead on that." "The Last of Us" is an adaptation of the video game franchise of the same name, and its second season was based on the 2020 game "The Last of Us Part II." But because the second game is so lengthy and narratively complex, only about half of the story of "Part II" was included in Season 2, which centered on Ellie's (Bella Ramsey) quest for revenge against Abby (Kaitlyn Dever). Season 3 of "The Last of Us" will continue adapting "The Last of Us Part II." The plot is set to shift focus to Abby, who becomes the main protagonist in the second half of the game, with Ramsey likely to have a reduced role. 'The Last of Us' Season 3: Everything we know so far from the game Once the HBO series has finished telling the story of "The Last of Us Part II," the show is expected to end, as there is no third game in the franchise to use as source material. Mazin has also said that two more seasons may be required to adapt the remainder of the game. "There's no way to complete this narrative in a third season," Mazin said in an interview with Collider published in May. "Hopefully, we'll earn our keep enough to come back and finish it in a fourth. That's the most likely outcome." Ahead of Season 3, the series went through a significant shakeup behind the scenes. Neil Druckmann, the creative force behind the "Last of Us" video games, who also created the HBO adaptation with Mazin, announced on July 2 that he will not be creatively involved in the show moving forward. He said he is stepping away to focus on his work creating video games at Naughty Dog. The same day as Druckmann's surprise announcement, Halley Gross, who wrote "The Last of Us Part II" game with Druckmann, also said she is stepping away from the HBO series. She previously served as an executive producer and writer on the show. 'The Last of Us' game creator steps away from show in shakeup before Season 3 In his interview with Variety, Bloys said it was "fantastic to have Neil involved" in the HBO series but that he understands "why he needs to focus on" his video game work. "I believe he's given us a good blueprint with the show," Bloys added. "And obviously Craig is a pro, so I think we'll be in excellent shape. I'm not worried at all."
