Pirates of the Caribbean Is Back
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Hollywood super-producer Jerry Bruckheimer was asked about the state of the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean films, to which he confirmed that “We developed two of them — the one with Margot Robbie and one with a younger cast. The Margot Robbie one needs a little more work. The younger cast one is close. Hopefully we’ll get both of them.”
First Look at Disney+ 2023 Slate
Disney has revealed a sizzle reel of first looks for their upcoming slate of Disney+ content, including Loki season 2, Ahsoka, Pixar’s Win or Lose, and more.
Win or Lose is Pixar’s first long-form series and is about a middle school softball team in the week leading up to their championship game.
First Look at Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies
Paramount has been rather bullish on their streaming content in recent months when most other services are cutting content and now is no exception.
Grease fans will be happy to see the first look at Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, which will follow an all-new group of students in the “Pink Ladies”, a teen group that Olivia Newton-John’s character belonged to in the original film. The show premieres exclusively on Paramount+ in early 2023.
Invincible Season 2 Release Date Revealed

This comes after the knowledge that the cast has been doing voice-over for the series since April.
More Casting For Five Nights at Freddy’s Movie Emerge
In a rather unorthodox method for revealing cast announcements, Five Nights at Freddy’s creator Scott Cawthon revealed more information about the cast on YouTuber Dawko’s stream. Scooby-Doo actor Matthew Lilard was previously announced to be in the film, but it has now been revealed that he will be playing William Afton, the main villain of the FNAF film. Additionally, Josh Hutcherson (who was also previously announced) will play the security guard Mike Schmidt. In the games, Schmidt is the alias of Michael Afton, William’s son.
It was also revealed that Mary Stuart Masterson and Piper Rubio have been cast. Rubio will be playing Abby, Mike’s younger sister, and Masterson is playing an undisclosed villain role. Abby is a new creation for the film, but due to her relationship with Mike, it can be inferred that she is a stand-in for Elizabeth Afton, Michael’s younger sister and William’s daughter.
