My favorite part about talking to other people who play choice-based RPGs is comparing choices. Whether it’s about the characters we make or the ways we nudge the story, I am always down to hear how people are playing games like Dragon Age: The Veilguard. We’re just a week out from launch, so a lot of people haven’t…
Today, during Disney’s D23 Brazil event, the company showcased a bunch of first looks and new teasers for upcoming projects. And during the event, Disney shared the first still of Stitch from the upcoming live-action Lilo & Stitch remake. And well… hmmm… I’m not sure, folks!

After being delayed several months by the writers strike and the actors strike, season 5 of the hit Netflix series Stranger Things (which is also the last season of the show) finally went into production at the start of the year and is now deep into its twelve month shooting schedule… and while a premiere date for the last batch of episodes hasn’t yet been announced, it’s drawing near, as evidenced by the recent teaser reveal of every episode’s title. As for what we can expect from the final season of Stranger Things, cast member Finn Wolfhard has let it be known that “a lot of action sequences” is on the list.
Stranger Things has the following synopsis: A love letter to the ‘80s classic genre films that captivated a generation, Stranger Things is a thrilling drama set in the seemingly normal Midwestern town of Hawkins, Indiana. After a boy vanishes into thin air, his close-knit group of friends and family search for answers and are pulled into a high-stakes and deadly series of events. Beneath the surface of their ordinary town lurks an extraordinary supernatural mystery, along with top-secret government experiments and a dangerous gateway that connects our world to a powerful yet sinister realm. Friendships will be tested and lives will be altered as what they discover will change Hawkins and possibly the world — forever.
Wolfhard told Us Weekly that while working on season 5, “[I’m] really trying to be present with the character. I’ve just been very deliberate in the way that I treat coming onto set, just having as good of a time as we can since we know it’s the last season.” He couldn’t reveal much about the episodes, but he did say there’s “a lot of action sequences,” while also describing season 5 as “a really intimate season, but at the same time, a huge season, just in the scale of it.“
During this interview, Wolfhard also talked about the horror genre: “It’s a genre that I love as a viewer, because to me, if it’s a really good horror movie, it’s the perfect movie because it really gets a reaction out of you and makes you feel something, always. The way I feel after watching a good horror movie is different from the way I feel after watching a really good drama or anything else. It’s very visceral.“
Here’s the list of the cast members and the characters they played in season 4: Winona Ryder (Joyce Byers), David Harbour (Jim Hopper), Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven), Finn Wolfhard (Mike Wheeler), Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin Henderson), Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas Sinclair), Noah Schnapp (Will Byers), Sadie Sink (Max Mayfield), Natalia Dyer (Nancy Wheeler), Charlie Heaton (Jonathan Byers), Joe Keery (Steve Harrington), Maya Hawke (Robin Buckley), Priah Ferguson (Erica Sinclair), Brett Gelman (Murray), Cara Buono (Karen Wheeler), Matthew Modine (Dr. Brenner), Paul Reiser (Dr. Owens), Jamie Campbell Bower (Peter Ballard), Joseph Quinn (Eddie Munson), Eduardo Franco (Argyle), Sherman Augustus (Lt. Colonel Sullivan), Mason Dye (Jason Carver), Nikola Djuricko (Yuri), Tom Wlaschiha (Dmitri), Myles Truitt (Patrick), Regina Ting Chen (Ms. Kelly), Grace Van Dien (Chrissy), Logan Riley Bruner (Fred Benson), Logan Allen (Jake), Elodie Grace Orkin (Angela), John Reynolds (Officer Callahan), Rob Morgan (Chief Powell), Amybeth McNulty (Vickie), and Freddy Krueger himself Robert Englund (Victor Creel).
Stranger Things is produced by Monkey Massacre Productions and 21 Laps Entertainment. Series creators The Duffer Brothers serve as executive producers alongside Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen of 21 Laps Entertainment, Iain Paterson, and Curtis Gwinn.
10 Cloverfield Lane and Prey director Dan Trachtenberg directed an episode of the final season before heading off to make the new Predator movie Badlands, starring Elle Fanning. The Shawshank Redemption director Frank Darabont also ended an 11 year break from directing to take the helm of an episode. New to the cast for Stranger Things season 5 are Linda Hamilton (The Terminator), Nell Fisher (Evil Dead Rise), newcomer Jake Connelly, and Alex Breaux (Joe Pickett).

Here’s some news that’s sure to put a smile on your face. According to Devin Faraci’s Marvelvision podcast, a spinoff series tied to Matt Reeves’ The Batman, starring Barry Keoghan’s Joker, is reportedly in development. The rumor has been picked up by industry insider Jeff Sneider, who says the show is positioned between The Batman Part II and The Batman Part III. Keoghan’s Joker would star as the main villain of the series after playing a “Hannibal Lecter-like role” in The Batman universe, only appearing as a phantom of Arkham Asylum with deep ties to the Dark Knight.
Keoghan’s Joker appears a deleted scene from 2022’s The Batman, in which Robert Pattinson’s Caped Crusader visits the Jester of Genocide in Arkham Asylum to get his unique take on Gotham’s latest villain, Riddler. Reeves cut the scene from The Batman’s final version, though the intense scene arrived online shortly after the film’s release. The scene gives audiences a taste of Keoghan’s Joker, a scarred madman who enjoys toying with the Dark Knight’s emotions while offering a cryptic analysis of Gotham’s rogues. The scene gives audiences a taste of the madness and manipulation to come from Keoghan’s Clown Prince of Crime.
While DC’s The Penguin is a crowd-pleaser and ratings darling, a Joker-centric spinoff could be a risky move. Keoghan’s Joker is a fascinating figure. However, fans could be Jokered-out after Todd Phillips’ Joker: Folie à Deux bombed at the box office and on PVOD. It remains unclear if the Joker spinoff series would land at HBO or Max, though who could tell the difference between the two these days? Keoghan also says his Joker could have a limited appearance in The Batman Part II, possibly setting up a scenario to launch the series.
What do you think about Barry Keoghan’s Joker possibly getting his own spinoff series? Is there another Batman villain you’d like to see get their own show? Personally, I’m dying for a Clayface movie or television series, but he’s not exactly a “grounded” villain. I suppose we’ll need to wait and see if anything comes from this rumor. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.
