Deadline reports Rachel Nichols and Yohance Myles will star in Demigod, the latest horror film from Hallowed Ground and The Dinner Party director, Miles Doleac. Nichols is said to play Robin, who travels with her husband Leo (Myles) to Germanys Black Forest upon the death of her huntsman grandfather. Soon after arriving at his secluded cabin, Robin realizes that the inheritance left her is far more macabre than she had bargained for. She finds herself entrenched in an ancient hunting ritual that will force her to reckon with her familys past and her own will to overcome the monstrous obstacles in her path. Jeremy London, Sherri Eakin, Lindsay Anne Williams, and Alli Hart are also attached to co-star.

In a recent interview with ET, Kat Dennings stated she doesnt believe Darcy appears in Thor: Love and Thunder.

No, still no idea! I dont think Im in it. I feel like I would have heard by now. So literally my answer is I have no idea, I have even less an idea than I had before.

I dont know what Love and Thunders premise or script is. I dont know. I think anything in Marvel is possible. Once youre in the MCU, I mean, youre in it. They can do whatever they want. I dont have any idea what it could be but Im sure they could figure it out if they wanted to.

G/O Media may get a commission

In conversation with People Magazine, Bette Midler described the outline she received for the upcoming Hocus Pocus sequel as pretty great.

They presented us with an outline, and after we picked ourselves up off the floor, because its been 27 years, we looked at it and I think all of us agreed that it was pretty great.

Midler also teased Disney is currently trying to see which actors from the original Hocus Pocus are available and still working to return for the sequel.

Were trying to see whos available and whos still out there and still working and who can come back ... a lot of the success of what we did on that picture had to do with the team that was surrounded, had to do with the team that they assembled to make that picture, the people who did the flying and the rigging, the people who did the green screens, the people who did the ... I dont think they called it the green screen in those days. The people who did the hair and makeup, which were all exemplary, the costumers, and the special effects people.

Speaking with GQ, director Carey Fukunaga described Rami Maleks villainous Safin as a bigger threat than Christophe Waltzs Blofeld, conceding his creation was tricky because you dont want to make a clich super villain.

First of all, Rami belongs in that company and in the same breath as any of the truly great actors. The awards tell you that but so does his work. Once we got into Christoph Waltz/Blofeld territory, you cant go small again. We had to think bigger. Its tricky because you dont want to make a clich super villain, but you have to make someone thats threatening not only to Bond and the people he loves but to the world at large.

Later in the piece, Malek himself adds its that sense of dread that sets [him] apart.

We really did sit down, and think about what would truly frighten us, what would send a real panic into our hearts. Its that sense of dread that sets it apart.

Appearing as a guest on the Lights, Camera, Barstool podcast, Ron Howard stated there are currently no rumblings regarding a sequel to Solo, adding he believes theres still interest in the gangster world of Star Wars down the line.

No rumblings, though, and this is not a spoiler or anything, but I think there is interest in those characters. I think theres interest in the gangster world somewhere down the line. But I can assure you there is nothing being developed right now for a movie or Disney+. But, one great thing is there has been a lot of affection shown for Solo, and so of course that keeps boding well for them to eventually turn it around.

Speaking with The Undefeated, Teyonah Parris described WandaVision as a full-on action movie, mixed with sitcoms.

Im so happy to be a part of this universe. And to be Monica Rambeau, shes such a badass in the comics. I just cant believe that this is happening. This is full-on action movie, mixed with sitcoms, its wild. Its wild. I think people will be very excited.

According to producer Shawn Levy, the fourth season of Stranger Things will be the first written entirely before production.

Ill just say the pandemic definitely massively delayed shooting and therefore the launch of our current Season Four, date still TBD. But it impacted very positively by allowing the Duffer brothers, for the first time ever, to write the entire season before we shoot it and to have time to rewrite in a way that they rarely had before so the quality of these screenplays are exceptional, maybe better than ever.

Finally, the CW has released the first trailer for Carry On, the two-hour series finale of Supernatural airing November 19.
