Who’s on first? It’s Bad Bunny (Bullet Train, My Spy, F9: The Fast Saga)! The Puerto Rican rapper, singer, record producer, and actor is getting out on the field alongside Austin Butler (Elvis, The Bikeriders, Dune: Part Two) for Darren Aronofsky’s (Pi, The Whale, Requiem for a Dream) upcoming crime thriller Caught Stealing.

Based on Charlie Huston’s novel Caught Stealing, which revolves around Hank Thompson (Butler), a down-and-out former baseball player locked in a battle for survival in the downtown criminal underworld of ’90s New York City. Bad Bunny joins Butler, Zoë Kravitz, Regina King, Matt Smith, Liev Schreiber, and Will Brill for Caught Stealing, though we do not know who he’s playing.

Bad Bunny is an entertainer and musician who wears many hats. His latest album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and soared on the Spotify chart, becoming the most-streamed single-day and weekly album. Caught Stealing finds Bad Bunny back in business with Sony after the rapper-turned-actor bailed on the studio’s Marvel film El Muerto.

El Muerto, aka Juan-Carlos Sánchez, was a super-powered wrestler who initially fought Spider-Man in a charity wrestling match. He nearly unmasked Spider-Man before being accidentally stung by the frightened web-crawler with a paralyzing poison. After being saved from the hospital by Spider-Man, Sanchez’s oppressor, El Dorado, came to claim his life. Knowing his life was in danger, Spider-Man and Sánchez joined forces to defeat Dorado.

Juan-Carlos Sánchez is the son of a luchador who inherits the ancestral power of “El Muerto.” The character’s abilities reside in his wrestling mask, though Sanchez also brings his brand of antiheroism to the squared circle.

Another Bad Bunny film project is Darryl Quarles’ action comedy The Come Up. In the movie, five friends are offered the gig of a lifetime in Tijuana, Mexico. They cross paths with a dangerous cartel boss who kidnaps one of them and forces the others to go on an insane and hilarious adventure to save their friend.

Have you read Huston’s book? Could Aronofsky’s Caught Stealing become Bad Bunny’s break-out role? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.

Yellowstone Season 6 could happen with Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser in talks to pick up the reins

Giddy up! Paramount could add some coal to the Yellowstone Express furnace as talk of a sixth season comes over the ridge. Yellowstone Season 6 could continue Taylor Sheridan’s flagship series with Kelly Reilly (Beth Dutton) and Cole Hauser (Rip Wheeler) leading the charge. No concrete plans for Yellowstone Season 6 are in place. Still, Variety says the goal is to continue the story beyond the Yellowstone Season 5B finale, coming to Paramount+ on November 10.

Initially, Yellowstone’s end was in sight after Kevin Costner left the series to pursue his dream of filming his multi-part Western Horizon: An American Saga. Costner plays John Dutton for five and a half seasons of the fan-favorite show before falling out with Sheridan after Paramount decided to split the fifth season into two parts. Costner voiced interest in returning to the show to finish his character’s arc, but it was too late. Paramount rearranged schedules, relationships soured, and John Dutton’s fate had been rewritten.

Beyond Yellowstone, Taylor Sheridan is ramping up to the premiere of The Madison, a Yellowstone spinoff starring Michelle Pfeiffer as Stacy Clyburn, a family matriarch who moves her family from New York City to the Madison River Valley of Montana after her husband’s death. MTV Entertainment Studios, 101 Studios, and Bosque Ranch Productions produce The Madison, which aims to be a sincere exploration of grief and human connection after Stacy Clyburn’s family moves to Montana to start life anew. Patrick J. Adams joins The Madison as an investment banker, Russell McIntosh, while Chapman and Garrett play Clyburn’s daughters.

Checking into The Madison alongside Pfeiffer are Patrick J. Adams (Suits), Matthew Fox (Lost), Elle Chapman (The Girl in the Mirror, A Man Called Otto), Beau Garrett (Firefly Lane, Tron: Legacy), and Amiah Miller (War for the Planet of the Apes, My Best Friend’s Exorcism) as primary cast members.

Are you excited about the potential of Yellowstone Season 6, or have you had enough of the core series? Does the Yellowstone train ever stop with the spinoffs 1883, 1923, 6666, The Madison, and more on the way? Does Taylor Sheridan ever sleep? I want proof, and bring me pictures of Spider-Man!

Deadpool & Wolverine clip opens the door for Channing Tatum’s Gambit to return in the MCU

By . FilmTV No Comments

For several years, Channing Tatum was trying to get a film based on the Marvel Comics character Gambit off the ground at Fox. The project passed through the hands of directors Rupert Wyatt, Doug Liman, and Gore Verbinski, but never made it into production. Then Fox was bought out by Disney, the home of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the Gambit plans were set aside. Tatum said he was traumatized when the project was scrapped: “Once Gambit went away, I was so traumatized… I shut off my Marvel machine. I haven’t been able to see any of the movies. I loved that character. It was just too sad. It was like losing a friend because I was so ready to play him.” So it was nice that Tatum’s friend Ryan Reynolds gave him the chance to finally bring his version of the character to life on screen in Deadpool & Wolverine – and today, Reynolds shared a clip that was shot for the film that leaves the door (or the “Marvel Sparkle Circle” portal) open for Tatum’s Gambit to return in the MCU. You can check it out in the embed above.

Even if you saw Deadpool & Wolverine on the big screen, there’s a chance you didn’t catch this moment, but Reynolds assures us that it is in the movie: “A version of this sequence is in the film, playing on one of the monitors in deep background of the TVA.“

Tatum has been open about the fact that he hopes his appearance as Gambit in Deadpool & Wolverine will allow him to continue playing the character in the MCU. When Variety asked him if it was possible, he said, “I sure hope so. From your mouth to God’s ears. Write it into existence, my friend. Please.” He had also told Marvel that he still wants to make the Gambit movie. “I’ve course I’ve said it. I’ve been saying I want it for the last 10 years. It’s in Bob Iger and Kevin Feige’s hands. I pray to God.“

Directed by Shawn Levy from a screenplay that was crafted by Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, Reynolds, Zeb Wells, and Levy himself, Deadpool & Wolverine has the following synopsis: Marvel Studios presents their most significant mistake to date – Deadpool & Wolverine. A listless Wade Wilson toils away in civilian life. His days as the morally flexible mercenary, Deadpool, behind him. When his homeworld faces an existential threat, Wade must reluctantly suit-up again with an even more reluctantlier… reluctanter? Reluctantest? He must convince a reluctant Wolverine to – F–k. Synopses are so f–king stupid. Well, the movie has made over a billion dollars at the box office, so you probably know what it’s about.

Are you glad to see that Channing Tatum’s Gambit survived the events of Deadpool & Wolverine, and would you like to see Tatum continue playing the character in the MCU? Let us know by leaving a comment below.
