Did Alan Cumming Accidentally Give Away an Avengers: Doomsday Fight?
James Wan still wants to give Conjuring's Crooked Man their own movie. Fear Street: Prom Queen teases its next cast of potential victims. Plus, what's coming on The Last of Us and The Walking Dead: Dead City. To me, my spoilers! Avengers: Doomsday Speaking to Buzzfeed discussing stunt training for fights on the upcoming Avengers movie, Alan Cumming may have accidentally revealed that Nightcrawler battles Pedro Pascal's Mr. Fantastic at some point during the film. I'm sort of learning these fights and I'm like, 'What? Who am I fighting with?' And they said, 'You're hitting Pedro Pascal against the head,' or something. Star Wars During a recent interview with The One Show (via Screen Rant), Natalie Portman stated she'd return to the Star Wars franchise if Padmé Amidala was resurrected from the dead and became a Jedi. With a lightsaber. I think she'd have to be a Jedi. Somehow, she was brought back from the dead; that would be exciting. Banquet Deadline reports Meghann Fahy will star in Banquet, a 'supernatural thriller' from The Platform director, Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia. Fahy will play Jenny Cochrane, 'a woman whose perfect life is shattered by the return of her estranged son, which reawakens a terrifying secret buried in her bloodline.' Dark Jungle Variety additionally reports Martin Wilson is attached to direct Dark Jungle, a project following 'a team of elite mercenaries deep in the jungle who embark on a rescue mission only to find themselves hunted by a swarm of giant, deadly bats.' Bone Keeper Meanwhile, John Rys-Davies is attached to star in Bone Keeper, a monster movie in which 'six young friends enter a remote cave system to investigate the disappearance of several missing persons, only to find themselves being gradually hunted by a mysterious creature that may have inhabited the cave for thousands of years. The mystery started with a fireball crashing into a remote woodland, awakening a terrifying creature hidden in the depths. Fast forward to 1976, James Wheeler enters a cave determined to uncover the truth – and is never seen again. All that's found is a single frame of Super 8 film, capturing the silhouette of a creature. In the present day, Wheeler's granddaughter, along with five explorers, sets out to investigate the legend of the 'Bone Keeper.' But as they venture deeper, they realize they are being hunted and the line between hunter and prey begins to blur. Will they uncover the truth and escape the creature – or become the next missing souls?' [Variety] The Crooked Man During a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, James Wan stated he's still interested in directing a Conjuring 2 spinoff focusing on The Crooked Man. I still have a movie in my head that I would hopefully love to get off the ground one day, but we'll see. I get fans that reach out to me every now and then, begging us to make a Crooked Man movie. Just as a fan, I would love to do it one day, if I can convince the studio to do so. 28 Years Later Bloody-Disgusting has a new poster for 28 Years Later.

Horrifying Results as Man Exercises Only One Single Muscle
In a grotesque twist to the online trend of "looksmaxxing," a term referring to male incels looking to maximize their own physical attractiveness, a TikTok user has spent over 160 days working out just a single trapezius muscle. In daily update videos, the college student, who goes by the fitting online handle TheCrookedMon, showed off the results of his unorthodox "looks minimizing" strategy: a massively imbalanced shoulder muscle diagonally — and unsettlingly — stretching from the left side of his head to his left shoulder. Why? Besides a modicum of internet clout, we're still not entirely sure. To get his very particular gains, TheCrookedMon did daily shrugs on his left side only, using a variety of objects, including a dog, a backpack, and a pack of drinks at the grocery store. Instead of cheering him on, commenters appeared largely concerned for his health. "Bro you proved your point," one user wrote, with a crying emoji. "Bro stop please," another comment reads. Others were more impressed. "This is literally the biggest flex I've ever seen," one user wrote. The trend became so big, it spawned an entire memecoin, dubbed $TRAPMAN. According to DexScreener, the coin spiked to a value of $0.00003649 — yes, you read that decimal point correctly — when it launched on April 13. Unsurprisingly, the dubious asset crashed almost immediately, wiping out most of its value. The jury is still out on whether TheCrookedMon could be damaging his body, but chances are he'll be fine in the long run. Researchers have found that primarily focusing on training just one side of the body could still have plenty of benefits for the other side. It's a particularly pertinent reality for those recovering from an injury or missing part of their body. Research has shown that training just one side could even build muscle mass in an unused, injured limb through the triggering of neural pathways, a phenomenon referred to as the "cross-training effect" or "cross-education." However, that doesn't mean we condone the kind of eyebrow-raising workout regimen TheCrookedMon chose for himself — there are far better ways to design a unilateral training plan. In a tongue-in-cheek April 2 video, he attempted to explain why he intentionally sacrificed his looks. "I was scrolling TikToks in my Ferrari, and I kept getting these looksmaxxing TikToks," he said. "And they were like, 'Do this, do that, you'll look more attractive, you'll get more women." "And it's like, people have that problem?" he added. "I've the opposite problem. I get so many DMs I don't even have time to get through them all." "If I have the opposite problem, then I need the opposite solution," TheCrookedMon argued. Worse things are on the horizon: Over the past month, TheCrookedMan has now started working out just his right leg.
