Entertainment insider Daniel Richtman (via SuperheroHype) suggests Marvel's next Thor project is titled Thor Quest, though has no further details on its story, or even whether it's a film or TV series.
Elsewhere, Jensen Ackles addressed rumors he's in the running to play James Gunn's Batman during a recent interview with Collider.
Oh, man. I don't know. It would be hard to carve out something truly unique amongst all of the performances as Batman. I would probably have to lean heavily on Gunn and whoever's directing and whoever's writing it, and get inspiration from the text. You talk about not wanting to fumble the football — that's one that I would be nervous as hell to carry. But also proud. A certain feather in the cap. Anybody who gets to wear the cowl, they got something.

Dandyism, decadence and a taste of rebellion at Junya Watanabe's vision of Paris
PARIS (AP) — A new kind of dandy took over Junya Watanabe's runway on Friday — not the traditional gentleman, but a sharp-dressed rebel with a streak of punk at Paris Fashion Week. Watanabe, the pioneering Japanese designer known for mixing classic tailoring with a wild, creative edge, unveiled a lineup of bold, offbeat looks at the Lycée Carnot. The show was sharp but rebellious, rich in history but full of energy. It wasn't about looking back. It was an explosion of new ideas. Watanabe has built his reputation by smashing the line between elegance and rebellion. This season, he didn't just mix old and new, he turned history into a weapon. His spring men's collection borrowed from the past — rich brocades, jacquards and a hint of Rococo flair — but reimagined them with a bold, punk attitude. Jackets worthy of Venetian nobility were paired with rugged workwear and raw denim, creating looks that felt both grand and streetwise. The music followed the same energy, starting with a traditional piano piece breaking down into a thumping city beat. Classic style was pulled apart and rebuilt right on the runway. Some outfits showed off sharp, careful tailoring, but the order quickly fell away — seams went crooked, sashes trailed loose, wild patterns took over. Even the ties broke free, knotted multiple times in ways that broke from tradition. Despite the wild mix of styles, the show was more than just patchwork. Watanabe was making a statement about taste itself — a constant tug-of-war between old ideas and breaking the rules. Familiar touches — a monk's robe, the rooftops of Florence — were turned into clever fashion puzzles. Throughout the collection, Watanabe's eye for detail and contradiction remained. He's known for boldly mixing sharp tailoring with street style, blending Japanese tradition with punk energy. This season, he sharpened that approach into clothes that were both smart and full of electricity, pieces that challenged the idea of what it means to dress well. By the end, the dandy wasn't just a gentleman —he was sharper, braver, both thinker and rebel.

Why The Waterfront's Grady Is So Familiar to Marvel Fans
Fans remember that Grady's actor from The Waterfront series has previously played the role of a beloved Marvel character. Introduced as a notorious drug lord, the series' ending saw an ultimate confrontation between him and the Buckleys and Parkers. The families try to destroy the Grady's empire, leaving Grady devastated and angry. After an epic showdown, Grady and his men face a tragic fate. Throughout the show, Grady has been an interesting villain, catching the attention of many and making them recall his old Marvel days. But which movie was he in? Here are the details. Grady is played by Topher Grace in The Waterfront. Grady, as a villain, has a unique personality that boasts deranged and narcissistic traits. Recently, in an interview with ScreenRant, creator Kevin Williamson shared details on why he thought Grace would be an apt choice for the role. He said, 'I wanted someone who was so darn likable. Someone we knew to be so darn cute and funny and winning.' Further, he also expressed appreciation for Grace's 'duality.' Additionally, he discusses how Grady stands out and what makes his character so terrifying. He added, 'It's funny because you have someone like Harlan who can be outwardly scary, and then you have Topher Grace that comes in and he's kind of silly, but he's a different type of terrifying to me. He really knocked my socks off.' Marvel fans know Grace from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3 (2007). There, he played the beloved anti-hero, Eddie Brock/Venom. In 1998, he made his professional TV debut in the main role of Eric Forman in That '70s Show, which earned him massive attention and recognition. Aside from TV, he also has popular movie credits under his belt, such as Interstellar, BlacKkKlansman, Heretic, Playing It Cool, and others. He is also renowned for his antagonistic role as Edwin in Predators (2010). In recent years, he has been a vital part of shows like Home Economics and The Hot Zone.

Alice in Borderland Season 3: Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 28, 2025, 19:00 IST Last updated June 28, 2025, 12:24 IST Hey there, Alice in Borderland fans! The thrilling Japanese sci-fi series is gearing up for its third season, and we're just as excited as you are to dive back into the wild, dangerous world of Borderland. After the jaw-dropping ending of Season 2, complete with that mysterious Joker card, there's so much to look forward to. Here's a rundown of everything we know so far about Alice in Borderland Season 3. Alice in Borderland Season 2 Release Date Get ready to mark your calendars— Alice in Borderland Season 3 is set to hit Netflix in September 2025! While we don't have an exact date yet, Netflix confirmed the release window during their Next on Netflix 2025 Japan event, along with some tantalizing first-look images. Filming kicked off in September 2023 and wrapped sometime in early 2024, so the show's been in post-production to bring those epic game sequences to life. Given the nine-month gap between filming and release for Season 2, September 2025 feels right on track. Stay tuned for a precise date as we get closer Alice in Borderland Season 2 Cast Update The heart of Alice in Borderland is its characters, and we're thrilled to know some fan favorites are returning. Netflix has confirmed that Kento Yamazaki will reprise his role as Ryōhei Arisu, the clever, video game-obsessed hero, and Tao Tsuchiya is back as Yuzuha Usagi, the tough mountain climber who's Arisu's partner in survival (and maybe more). Their chemistry carried us through the first two seasons, and we can't wait to see how their story evolves. Other characters who survived Season 2 and might return include: Nijirō Murayama as Chishiya , the sly and strategic player. Aya Asahina as Kuina , the fierce fighter with a heart of gold. Ayaka Miyoshi as Ann , the cool-headed analyst. Dori Sakurada as Niragi , the unpredictable troublemaker who somehow keeps surviving. Shô Aoyagi as Aguni , the tough-as-nails leader with a tragic past. Yuri Tsunematsu as Heiya, the archery-skilled high schooler who became a fan favorite in Season 2. There's also buzz about Riisa Naka possibly returning as Mira, the Queen of Hearts, maybe as a ghostly figure like Hatter in Season 2, though nothing's confirmed. And with the Joker card looming, we might see new faces or even characters like Banda and Yaba from the Jack of Hearts game stepping up as villains. No full cast list yet, but we're keeping our fingers crossed for more updates Alice in Borderland Season 2 Potential Plot Season 2 ended with a massive twist: after Arisu and Usagi defeated the Queen of Hearts and woke up in a hospital, thinking they'd escaped Borderland, a gust of wind scattered a deck of cards, leaving only the Joker card behind. This has fans buzzing—does it mean they're still trapped in the game? Here's what we can piece together about Season 3's plot: An Original Story : The first two seasons adapted Haro Aso's manga, but Season 3 will dive into uncharted territory with an original storyline, since the main manga ended where Season 2 did. Manga creator Haro Aso is still involved, so expect the same mind-bending intensity. The Joker's Role : In the manga, the Joker is a 'ferryman' who guides players back to the real world, but the show's teaser hints at a more sinister role, possibly as a manipulative game master. This could mean new, psychologically twisted games that mess with reality itself, testing Arisu and Usagi's grip on what's real. Alice in Wonderland Vibes : The show loves its Alice in Wonderland references, and Season 3 might introduce characters like Tweedledum and Tweedledee , who haven't appeared yet. Expect more trippy, fairytale-inspired challenges. Reality or Illusion?: The Season 2 finale suggested the players were in a limbo state after a meteor strike, caught between life and death. Season 3 could explore whether they're truly back in the real world or stuck in a virtual reality—or even a new layer of the Borderland games. There's also talk of drawing inspiration from Aso's spin-off manga, like Alice in Borderland: Retry , where Arisu returns to Borderland as a married man, or Alice on Border Road , set in Kyoto. While these might not be adapted directly, they could spark ideas for new games or settings. Whatever happens, expect high-stakes action, emotional depth, and plenty of surprises.
