Hades is famously known for its tight action gameplay, unmatched ability to weave narrative into a run-based roguelike, and for Supergiant Games making the pantheon of Greek gods fine as hell. The team said that beauty was a virtue in its character design, but the fact that the original game lacked body diversity…

Inspired by a series of novels by Andrzej Sapkowski, The Witcher is an epic tale of fate and family — the story of the intertwined destinies of three individuals in the vast world of The Continent, where humans, elves, witches, gnomes, and monsters battle to survive and thrive, and where good and evil is not easily identified.
Liam Hemsworth, Sharlto Copley, James Purefoy, and Danny Woodburn will be sharing the screen with returning Witcher stars Freya Allan, Anya Chalotra, and Joey Batey. Laurence Fishburne of The Matrix and the John Wick franchise is another new addition to the cast. He will be playing Regis, a character introduced in Sapkowski’s novel Baptism of Fire. Regis is “a world-wise barber / surgeon with a mysterious past who joins Geralt on his journey in season 4.”
After the shocking, Continent-altering events that close out season three, the new season follows Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri as they traverse the war-ravaged Continent and its many demons apart from each other. If they can embrace and lead the groups of misfits they find themselves in, they have a chance of surviving the baptism of fire—and finding one another again.
Liam Hemsworth plays Geralt after Henry Cavill’s exit at Season 3’s conclusion. The Witcher fans revolted when Cavill announced his retirement from the show, leaving Hemsworth to pick up the pieces. While it’s a shame Cavill is no longer a part of the series, Hemsworth could bring some new energy to the show. We will know when we see him in action and what his chemistry is with Anya Chalotra’s Yennefer.
Is it a good idea for Netflix to put a bow on The Witcher, or are you disappointed it’s ending? What’s been your favorite aspect of the series overall? Are you optimistic about Hemsworth joining the cast? Let us know in the comments section below.

At the start of 2023, filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan secured a multi-year deal with Warner Bros., and soon after that deal was made, we heard that his first movie for Warner Bros. would be Trap, a “psychological thriller set at a concert”. That project made its way through production toward the end of last year, with lead roles going to Josh Hartnett, fresh off his appearance in Oppenheimer (pictured below), and Shyamalan’s daughter Saleka. A trailer for the film, which is set to reach theatres on August 9th, was shown to CinemaCon attendees earlier this month – and now it has made its way online! You can check it out in the embed above.
As JoBlo’s own Chris Bumbray described the trailer after seeing it at CinemaCon, “Saleka plays a Taylor Swift-style pop star known as Lady Raven, with Josh Harnett’s character attending alongside his daughter. He quickly discovers that the concert is a trap designed to lure a serial killer known as The Butcher, but it turns out that Harnett is the serial killer!” We had previously heard (via FilmUpdates) that Saleka – who is an R&B singer/songwriter – plays “a popstar whose concert is at the heart of the story.” Hartnett’s character is “a father who takes his child to a concert, and unwittingly gets caught up in the surrounding events.” Saleka has recorded songs for her father’s previous projects Old and Servant, but this marks her acting debut.
Hartnett has said that Trap is “very bizarre, very dark, and wild.”
Since Shyamalan produces and finances his own movies, he was able to get a SAG interim agreement for Trap (which filmed under the codename Good Grades) that allowed the project to go into production before the Screen Actors Guild strike wrapped up. His daughter Ishana was also able to get a SAG Interim deal for her feature directorial debut, the gothic fairy tale The Watchers. That film is set up at Warner Bros. as well and has a June 7, 2024 theatrical release date.
Here’s what Shyamalan had to say about Trap in an interview he did with NME a while back: “I have a new idea that I’ve started writing. It’s out in 2024 and it’s very, very exciting. It’s a thriller. It’s very unusual and very new compared to what I’ve been trying to do [recently], but I’m feeling very excited about the story, so much so that I can’t wait to tell it to you guys. I love that feeling, that electricity of ‘wow, I can’t wait for you to see it’. I will say this, the angle into the story is why it’s so exciting. The story might be something that you’ve seen before but the angle is very, very unique – the point of view.“

It may still be a sore subject for DCEU fans, but Henry Cavill is seemingly able to joke about his run of misfortune in teasing follow-ups to his post-credits stingers. The most notorious one came from the end of Black Adam, which had gone unfulfilled when a planned sequel involving the clashing of Black Adam and Superman was scrapped after the origin film flopped and the DCEU was eventually laid to rest in favor of a universe reboot with James Gunn at the helm. Variety reports that Cavill introduced his new Guy Ritchie film, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, at a special screening when he poked fun at his bad luck.
During Cavill’s introduction, he mentioned how he had worked with Ritchie a couple of times before. He would star as the lead in his feature adaptation of the TV show The Man from U.N.C.L.E. back in 2015. He also mentioned how he would appear in a post-credits teaser for Ritchie’s 2017 movie King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, which was meant to set up a sequel with Cavill in a prominent role, but the first film flopped and a sequel was scrapped. This is when Cavill was reminded of his unfortunate pattern and he joked,
Turns out, I don’t have much luck with post-credit scenes. So, I may give up on those.”
The Black Adam setup particularly stung Cavill and fans alike since Dwayne Johnson was able to talk Warner Bros. into bringing Cavill back in the role when they were seemingly moving away from the character. Back in 2022, Cavill would thank his fans who rallied for him and supported his interpretation when he posted a message that read, “I wanted to make it official: I am back as Superman … Thank you for your support and thank you for your patience. I promise it will be rewarded.”
A couple days later, Cavill appeared on the Happy Sad Confused Podcast to discuss his return as the Kryptonian, “The character means so much to me. It’s been five years now. I never gave up hope. It’s amazing to be here now talking about it again. There is such a bright future ahead for the character. I’m so excited to tell a story with an enormously joyful Superman.”
