Chris Pine and Lily-Rose Depp Join Alien Invasion Comedy ALPHA GANG — GeekTyrant
The Zellner Brothers' ( Sasquatch Sunset ) upcoming alien invasion comedy Alpha Gang just landed a major boost in star power. Chris Pine ( Star Trek ), Lily-Rose Depp ( Nosferatu ), Kelvin Harrison Jr. ( Mufasa: The Lion King ), and Doona Bae ( Rebel Moon ) have officially joined the ensemble cast. The film centers on a team of alien invaders sent to conquer Earth, who disguise themselves as a 1950s leather-clad biker gang. The mission? Ruthless domination, until they're infected with the most dangerous human affliction of all… emotion. Character details are still under wraps, but the cast is shaping up to be one of the most eclectic lineups in recent memory. Cate Blanchett, Léa Seydoux, Dave Bautista, and Riley Keough were previously announced, making this a stacked roster of heavy hitters. When Alpha Gang was first revealed back in October 2024, Channing Tatum, Zoë Kravitz, and Steven Yeun were part of the ensemble, but they've since exited. Sources cite a mix of factors, mostly scheduling issues. Pine is best known for his turn as Captain Kirk in the Star Trek films and is coming off projects like his directorial debut Poolman , Don't Worry Darling , and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves . Depp is riding high after her acclaimed performance in Robert Eggers' Nosferatu opposite Nicholas Hoult and Bill Skarsgård. Harrison Jr., recently cast as Beetee in The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping , has appeared in Chevalier , Elvis , O'Dessa , and Mufasa: The Lion King . He's also set to portray Jean-Michel Basquiat in the indie Samo Lives . With a concept that sounds like a genre-bending blast and a cast this strong, Alpha Gang is shaping up to be an intriguing indie project. Source: Deadline

Joseph Quinn answered with, 'Epic, Mental, Downey, Jr.' Speaking with Urbana Play (via Screen Rant), James Gunn confirmed scripts for The Brave and the Bold and Wonder Woman are 'being written now' and 'if they're good, then we'll go to production immediately.' It's not gonna be 'till the script is ready. Both of the scripts are being written now, and if they're good, then we'll go to production immediately. So, it really depends on how we can get the scripts done. Because the one thing I'm just not gonna do is go into production without a script I feel is fantastic — especially for those characters, who deserve the best. I'd rather wait a year than go too soon. Comic Book has a poster for one of Johnny Cage's original movies in Mortal Kombat 2.

We just finished shooting the second season. I get to do so much fun, insane stuff in this new season. I'm so excited for fans to see it. I hope that we have several, if not many more, years of wonderful story in store for Bullseye and for the whole Daredevil crew. It's such a great, lovely group of people on that show, in front of and behind the camera. I just feel honored to be part of it. The Dex of Season 2 is a new Dex that we haven't really seen yet. I'm very excited for people to see it, and I'm curious to see how they weigh in on it. There are some elements of him in this season, some sides of his personality, that we haven't seen yet, and I'm thrilled for people to get to see it.
