In the lead-up to the premiere of X-Men ’97, Marvel confirmed that The Gentlemen star Theo James had joined the voice cast as a “fan favorite character.” While James’ role has yet to be revealed, Marvel may have just tipped its hand to who his character might be.

In a new promo that piggybacks off the explosive events of X-Men ’97 episode 5 (We won’t spoil it for you, but it was cataclysmic enough that fired showrunner Beau DeMayo broke his silence to explain what just happened.) a surprising Marvel character is teased. He definitely fits the bill for “fan favorite” because it’s none other than Captain America.

Cap’s signature shield makes a notable appearance at the very end of the teaser, but we should note that there is no official confirmation on whether James is voicing the Star-Spangled Avenger. He could easily be playing another character (Doctor Strange is rumored to appear.) but the arrival of Captain America in X-Men ’97 is pretty huge. It’s also fitting as the teaser emphasizes that a war is coming, which certainly tracks after the events of episode 5.

“Like many of us who grew up on the OG cartoon, the X-Men have now been hit hard by the realities of an adult and unsafe world,” DeMayo wrote in a Twitter post breaking down the tragic episode. “Life’s happened to them. And they, like we did, will have to decide which parts of themselves they will cling to and which parts they’ll let go of in order to do what they’ve been telling humanity to do: face an uncertain future they never saw coming.”

X-Men ’97 streams new episodes Wednesdays on Disney+.

Conan O’Brien is often on the lookout for a friend, but he recently took a break from that to have some hot sauce, which is good to do every once in a while. The comedian/former talk show host/Now You See Me star sat down with Sean Evans for a new episode of First We Feast’s Hot Ones, and the power of hot sauce always tends to bring out the worst in people.

As a longtime host, O’Brien has had his fair share of awkward interactions, and Evans wanted to know the worst thing a guest can do while being interviewed. As we know, it can get pretty awkward fast, even without all of the scorching hot sauce.

O’Brien said that the worst thing a guest can do is “tell the audience it’s not going well,” which is something a lot of guests seem to do when they don’t know what to say. He explained:

“I’ve seen it happen many times, it’s an amateur move because the host can do a lot to let people think it’s going great even if it’s not… there are many things the host can do… audience wants to see a good show, they want to see a good interview, and I was always amazed when someone would come out and they’d be doing OK… and then would just go, ‘This just isn’t going well is it?’… you look out at the audience and it be 200 people sitting there and I’d see 200 souls leave 200 bodies cause they were just told they were not getting a good show.”

This is why it’s so important to tell audiences exactly when to laugh or clap, regardless of whatever the guest is saying. When the audience is given too much power, it can get messy!!!

On the other hand, when Evans asked what future U.S. President O’Brien would want on his podcast, he knew exactly who would be a good guest. “Richard Nixon, Oh my god, it’d be fantastic. He’s such a comedy figure when you think about it and we could get him to [say] ‘Watergate’…and he would try to be funny. It would be fantastic,” he said. Somehow it seems like that would also not go over well with audiences.

First of all, always expect the unexpected with Doja Cat. Predicting Doja Cat’s Coachella 2024 setlist seems like a losing exercise, but it’s worth a try. A few details are confirmed as fact: Doja Cat will headline on Sunday, April 14, and Sunday, April 21; Coachella 2024 headliners also include Lana Del Rey and Tyler The Creator; Coachella 2024 will pump out so many headlines over the next two weeks.

Beyond that, who knows what’s about to happen at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California?

What Songs Can You Expect Doja Cat To Perform At Coachella 2024?

All that said, we can form a solid hypothesis because Doja staged her headlining Scarlet Tour last year. It would make sense for Doja to at least pull from her Scarlet Tour setlist because Scarlet is her most recent album — and it would make a ton of sense for her to use the Coachella stage to debut live performances of Scarlet deluxe album songs, such as “MASC” featuring Teezo Touchdown. Maybe she brings out SZA as a surprise guest for “Say So”? Post Malone for “I Like You (A Happier Song)”? Saweetie for “Best Friend”? It’s all on the board.

For a more concrete guess, check out Doja’s setlist from her Scarlet Tour stop in Chicago on December 13 below (as relayed by setlist.fm).

Future and Metro Boomin are just a few hours away from dropping their second of two joint albums, with this one being titled We Still Don’t Trust You. The duo made waves with their first album together a few weeks ago, especially with Kendrick Lamar dissing Drake on “Like That.”

Fans are now waiting to see what this new release will bring — or if there will be any other disses in store. As of right now, though, the tracklist and those featured on We Still Don’t Trust You have yet to be revealed.

For those who are using Apple Music, here’s what to know about when it will be on the streaming platform.

When Can You Play Future And Metro Boomin’s We Still Don’t Trust You Album On Apple Music?

Future and Metro Boomin’s We Still Don’t Trust You will be available starting at midnight ET, or 9 p.m. for those who live on the West Coast. If you’re in a different time zone, it will be out whenever albums typically drop in that location.

Until later tonight, fans can build up their anticipation by listening to their album titled We Don’t Trust You that dropped back in March.

We Still Don’t Trust You is out 4/12 via Epic Records/Boominati Worldwide/Republic Records.

Tom Hiddleston is returning to a familiar role, and no, this time it’s not Loki. The Marvel favorite is reportedly set to star in not just one, but two more seasons of The Night Manager. Hiddleston received rave reviews for his portrayal of Jonathan Pine in the BBC adaptation of the John le Carré novel that aired all the way back in 2016.

While the book itself doesn’t have a sequel, that hasn’t stopped series creator David Farr from crafting a new story for the upcoming seasons that will take place eight years after the events of The Night Manager season 1. Farr hopes the new story will honor le Carré who passed away in 2020.

Via Variety:

“John le Carré’s work has long been an inspiration to me and working closely with him on season 1 was an honor and a pleasure. I did not tread lightly into extending The Night Manager beyond the original book, but an idea came to me a couple of years ago which felt truthful to that unique world of dark corners and shady identities. No one marries the suspense of espionage with a deep exploration of the human soul quite like le Carré. I hope that in some way we can pay homage to his uneasy genius in this new exploration.”

Hiddleston also issued a statement confirming his return to the gritty spy series.

“The first series of The Night Manager was one of the most creatively fulfilling projects I have ever worked on,” he said. “The depth, range, and complexity of Jonathan Pine was, and remains, a thrilling prospect. I’m so looking forward to reuniting with Simon and Stephen Cornwell, David Farr, and Stephen Garrett, and to working with Georgi Banks-Davies to tell the next chapter of our story. I can’t wait.”

The new seasons will mark a joint collaboration between the BBC and Prime Video. Filming for The Night Manager season 2 is expected to start later this year. It will run for six episodes, but there is no release date at this time.

Future and Metro Boomin set rap on fire with We Don’t Trust You, their collaborative album that debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. “Like That” featuring Kendrick Lamar became Metro Boomin’s first career Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single as an artist (all of his other chart-toppers came as a producer).

Future and Metro Boomin are about to outdo themselves with We Still Don’t Trust You.

When Can You Play Future And Metro Boomin’s We Still Don’t Trust You Album On Spotify?

We Still Don’t Trust You will be released on Friday, April 12. So, the album should be available to stream on Spotify (and across all DSPs) at 9 p.m. PST on April 11 and midnight EST on April 12. As its title suggests, Future and Metro’s collaborative album follows in the footsteps of We Don’t Trust You, which dropped on March 22.

On April 4, Metro Boomin posted on X (formerly Twitter), “This is not a deluxe. This is a completely separate body of work. #WeSTILLDontTrustYou 4/12/24.” Metro also teased the album with a clip of the late Kobe Bryant at a press conference after the Los Angeles Lakers went up 2-0 in the 2009 NBA Finals. “What’s there to be happy about?” Bryant said, looking disgusted. “Job’s not finished.”

With Coachella kicking off tomorrow, fans going will get to experience No Doubt reuniting at the festival — as the band joined as a surprise headliner. Considering they haven’t played in many years, a lot of attendees likely will be witnessing the band’s concert for the first time. Here’s what to know about their expected setlist.

At No Doubt’s last festival show at KAABOO Festival in 2015, they played 21 picks in total, according to setlist.fm. The most songs were pulled from their 1995 album Tragic Kingdom, including some of their biggest hits with “Don’t Speak,” “Just A Girl,” “Spiderwebs,” and “Sunday Morning.”

These tracks, being the most popular, will more than likely reappear during their Coachella set, along with equally loved Rock Steady picks like “Hella Good” and “Hey Baby.”

Fresh off their big Oscars win, Emma Stone and Yorgos Lanthimos are teaming up once again for another unsettling film featuring some intense Emma dancing.

Kinds of Kindness is Lanthimos’ latest project after the success of 2023’s bonkers flick Poor Things. While the trailer doesn’t give away much, we do get a glimpse at the all-star cast including a dancing Emma Stone, Jesse Plemmons in a turtle neck, a pantsless Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau, Joe Alwyn, Mamoudou Athie, and Hunter Schafer.

While we don’t have a detailed plot, we do know that Stone slapped Dafoe 20 times off-camera in order to get him into character, so feel free to interpret that any way you’d like. Filming took place in fall 2022 and the flick was first known as AND until it was renamed late last year, much to the joy of SEO enthusiasts everywhere.

The poster is similarly mysterious, featuring a floating thumb and a broken tennis racket. Whoever is working PR for tennis is having a great year! The movie will follow various characters as their intersecting storylines blend together. Here is the official synopsis:

KINDS OF KINDNESS is a triptych fable, following a man without choice who tries to take control of his own life; a policeman who is alarmed that his wife who was missing-at-sea has returned and seems a different person; and a woman determined to find a specific someone with a special ability, who is destined to become a prodigious spiritual leader.

Kinds of Kindness will hit select theaters on June 21st. Check out the trailer below:

In early March, Laufey announced her forthcoming Bewitched: The Goddess Edition and released “Goddess,” which she described as “my most honest song yet.” Roughly one month later, Laufey has revealed her equally vulnerable “Goddess” short film. The video was directed by Past Lives (a Barack Obama favorite) director and writer Celine Song, who earned a 2024 Oscars nomination for Best Original Screenplay.

“It was so special to work with Celine on the ‘Goddess’ short film,” Laufey said in a statement. “She has such a clear vision with her work, which became immediately evident to me while watching Past Lives, and her ideas around ‘Goddess’ harmonized perfectly with the narrative of the song. There was immediately a shared understanding that made the partnership so seamless, and I feel so lucky to collaborate with someone whose work I admire so much.”

The five-minute short film stars Laufey opposite Will Gao (Heartstopper) and was filmed in Brooklyn, New York. To start, Laufey is peering longingly out of her apartment window. It appears to be the morning after, as we next see Laufey with Gao at dusk. They’re enjoying each other’s company in the city before going back to the apartment, where they get very intimate — and the cinematography beautifully reflects Laufey’s delicate vulnerability.

“Were you surprised by me?” Laufey sings. “When you took me home / When the glamor wore off / Reduced to skin and bone / I can’t even tell / Who you want to know / I’m a goddess on stage / And human when we’re alone.”

Laufey is seen with tears streaming down her face, and we return to her alone — looking out the window.

Bewitched: The Goddess Edition is due out on April 26 via AWAL. It’s a deluxe version of Laufey’s 2023 Grammy-winning album, Bewitched, and will include four new songs. Laufey is currently staging her Bewitched: The Goddess Tour. See all of her remaining dates here.

In a twist no one could have ever seen coming: Donald Trump is going to Cannes. OK, not the real Donald Trump, but instead, actor Sebastian Stan as the former president in the new movie The Apprentice.

Directed by Ali Abassi, the film stars Stan as Trump during his glory days as a New York real estate mogul. Along for the ride is Succession star Jeremy Strong as Trump’s right-hand man Roy Cohn. Borat Subsequent Moviefilm‘s Maria Baklova will play the late Ivana Trump.

Via Deadline:

Billed as an exploration of power and ambition, set in a world of corruption and deceit, The Apprentice will examine Trump’s efforts to build his real estate business in New York in the ’70s and ’80s, also digging into his relationship with infamous attorney Cohn. It’s a mentor-protege story that charts the origins of a major American dynasty. Filled with larger than life characters, it will reveal the moral and human cost of a culture defined by winners and losers.

In addition to revealing that The Apprentice will compete at Cannes, the film also released a first look still of Stan and Strong as Trump and Cohn. The reactions are flying. Casting Stan with his movie star good looks as Trump is certainly a choice, and folks let their feelings fly on social media. (Locking down Kendall Roy also sparked some jokes.)

You can see some of the reactions below:
