Jason Momoa exits the Helldivers movie. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds promises fewer puppet/musical/documentary, etc. episodes in season four. The third season premiere of House of the Dragon runs longer than James Whale’s Frankenstein. I have come here to chew bubble gum and spoil movies… and I’m all outta bubble gum. Put the glasses on, it’s Morning Spoilers!
I Promise We’re Cool
Deadline reports Phil Lord and Chris Miller are attached to produce, I Promise We’re Cool, “a high concept high school comedy with a sci-fi twist” from director Max Tzannes. Though details on the plot are currently kept under wraps, the script hails from The Sex Lives of College Girls and Monster: The Ed Gein Story actor, Charlie Hall.
Helldivers
According to Deadline, Jason Momoa has exited the Helldivers movie from director Justin Lin for an undisclosed reason.
The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum
In a recent interview with GamesRadar+, Elijah Wood revealed his role in The Hunt for Gollum is “relatively small.”
I mean, it’s sort of like getting the band back together a little bit with that film. A lot of the creative team who were part of Lord of the Rings are part of Hunt for Gollum. I’m just looking forward to seeing all those people again. It feels like a family reunion. My part to play is relatively small, but I’m just excited to go back and spend some time in New Zealand and see old friends.
Hereditary 2
During a Q&A at the The American Cinematheque’s annual Bleak Week (via Gold Derby), Ari Aster revealed he’s written a prequel to Hereditary but “it never feels like the right time” to make it.
I wrote a prequel to this. It never feels like the right time. It’s a prequel, not a sequel so I don’t know where this goes.
Evil Dead Burn

Scooby-Doo: Origins
Here’s your first look at the real dog (one of several, likely) playing Scooby-Doo in Netflix’s new series, Scooby-Doo: Origins.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
In conversation with Trek Movie, co-executive producer Bill Wolkoff suggested the fourth season of Strange New Worlds contains fewer “big swing” episodes and “more” that feel like “classic Star Trek.”
In season 4 we opened up new areas in the characters’ histories that we hadn’t explored yet, because — especially specifically in Pike’s story, there are certain parts of his story that we kind of put to bed with season 3. So we got to open up whole new doors. We’re paying off some stuff that we did set up early in season 1 that we hadn’t been able to pay off, that we haven’t just from the virtue of having only ten episodes each season. And every season we look at our world today, and we look at the kinds of stories we want to tell, and we try to see what stories we want to tell about our world today through genre that are, at heart, Star Trek stories. It’s merging those three things. So season 4 reflects our world today in a different way than season 3.
I think we do have more of what you would call more classic Star Trek episodes. It’s still our show, and we still do the things that our show does. I mean, you know there’s a puppet episode coming. I would call that a big swing. Is every episode a puppet episode? Of course not. And there are probably more classic episodes mixed in. And for every “big swing” — that is a term that gets bandied about, but we want every single episode to be a Star Trek episode, even if it is a big swing. But to answer your question, there are perhaps less of what you know we would have called those in previous seasons.
My Adventures With Superman
Speaking with Comic Book, My Adventures With Superman co-showrunner Jake Wyatt confirmed that Batman is currently too “booked up” to make a crossover appearance.
Brendan [Clogher] does have a good Batman take. It could just be an episode one-off or a full series, but right now, Batman is a little booked up. We love Superman and the Super-Family, but we’re always happy to expand on the universe. What does ‘Blank hero’ look like in the Adventure-verse is a super fun question.
House of the Dragon
According to HBO’s schedule (via Screen Rant), the Sunday, June 21 season three premiere of House of the Dragon runs a full 72 minutes long.
