'Ironheart' Has Not Yet Been Renewed for Another Season
Season 1 of Marvel's Ironheart will come to a close tonight on Disney+, closing a chapter on one of the MCU's newest additions. But this might not be the last we see of the titular hero. Ahead of the final episode, fans may be wondering where Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne)'s journey will go next. Here's what we know about the future of Ironheart so far. As of right now, Ironheart has not been renewed for a second season. In an interview with The Direct, Thorne was asked about the potential future she sees for her character if the show were to come back. 'Actually, don't think I can even say that without spoiling everything,' she said. 'I would like to see her explore the full range of other options presented to her in season 1.' She also spoke about Riri's character development over the first season, which could lead to an interesting storyline for season 2. 'Her mind is opened about what actually exists in the world, realizing that it's so much bigger than what she thought, even in her hometown, that things are so much bigger and there's a lot more going on than she ever cared to know or to understand. So now that she does know what's out there, what does she choose? I think that would be pretty cool.' It would be expected that series regulars would return, including Thorne, Anthony Ramos, Lyric Ross, Manny Montana, Matthew Elam, Jaren Merrell, and Zoe Terakes. Additional cast members, if the show were to be renewed, have yet to be announced. This story will be updated.

We Might Be Waiting Even Longer For That ‘Constantine' Sequel
Plus, Colin Trevorrow heads to Area 51 for new movie. Ralph Ineson teases the scale and aloofness of his Galactus. Joe Locke says he's in the MCU for the long haul. Plus, Wednesday's creative team plays down season 2's horror, and what's coming on the next Rick & Morty. Spoilers get! Untitled Area 51 Movie Deadline reports Colin Trevorrow is attached to direct a currently untitled film 'set in the late 1980s' that follows 'the local Las Vegas TV news journalist who first broke the story of Area 51.' Trevorrow will produce the project through his Metronome banner with the help of Ryan Reynolds' Maximum Effort. Constantine 2 In conversation with The Direct, Peter Stormare suggested Keanu Reeves is unhappy with the current script draft for Constantine 2. It's a lot of back and forth, because… I think Keanu [Reeves], which I know pretty good, is not so happy with the scripts and usually what comes out of the studios… Because the first one wasn't that successful in the beginning, it became a sleeper and became a cult movie, and now it is one of the biggest cult movies ever. But to do a sequel, the studios want to have, you know, cars flying in the air. They want to have people doing flip-flops and fighting action scenes. It turns into an action movie, and not like going deeper and deeper into the characters. I think he wants to do his character again, Constantine, as grounded as it was in the first one. It took a long time for you to become a cult movie, it really worked, and it will work on the audience again. You don't have to add a lot of action and shootouts. You have other movies. Don't turn it into big Marvel… [Don't turn it] into us flying around in harnesses all the time and shooting each other up. Don't bring in the big guns. Let it be. Fantastic Four: First Steps In conversation with Empire, Ralph Ineson revealed he prepared for his role as Galactus by standing atop 'a lot of tall buildings.' He's a cosmic force. He's a god, of sorts. [I drove through the tunnels of Mont Blanc] 'just imagining that as his windpipe and his trachea. I also went to a lot of tall buildings. We went to a wedding at the top of the Gherkin building in London, and I spent most of the afternoon just staring out, ruminating. I got in trouble with my wife — she was like, 'You've got to say hello to the bride and groom at some point!' Ready or Not: Here I Come During a recent interview with Comic Book, Ready or Not screenwriter Guy Busick stated the upcoming sequel 'isn't even the same genre' as the first. Things that we reference … Radio Silence, the producers, Ryan and myself … over and over again are Aliens and Terminator 2. How do you blow it up in a way that isn't even the same genre, but hits all the notes and has the same DNA? Here I Come is a horror movie with humor, just like the first one. But what's the crazy, bigger world of it? A Bright Future In an ant-infested future specifically tailored to the needs of the elderly, chosen young people are shipped to 'The North' to make their families proud in the trailer for A Bright Future. Agatha All Along Speaking with The Playlist, Joe Locke discussed his forseeable contractually obligated future with Marvel, suggesting Billy Maximoff could be around for a good while yet. Kevin Feige doesn't ring you up, but when I signed my contract, I signed for my whole life. But so you sort of wait for them. You're in limbo to them, which is, there are worse things to be in limbo for. Ms. Marvel Meanwhile, Red Dagger actor Aramis Knight told Screen Rant he believes his time in the MCU is officially over. Referring to a potential second season of Ms. Marvel, Knight answered: I don't think so. I mean it's been a long time now, so I am not really sure. I mean I would love to. I was supposed to make appearances and other things but it didn't end up working out and some logistical stuff and COVID stuff and I think also creative stuff. But I mean that was also an amazing show, but I dunno, I'm still waiting for the call to be honest. Wednesday In conversation with Entertainment Weekly, Wednesday co-creator Miles Millar reiterated the show's more horror-focused second season will still be family friendly. Season 2 definitely has some moments which are more straightforward horror, and we're very aware that the show is watched by everybody in terms of the age groups. So we want to make sure that it's never torture porn, but that there's enough bite to it that it feels that there are real stakes and that people die in this world, and it's scary at moments. And I think that's the great tonal shift that the show makes between comedy and horror. Rick and Morty Finally, Space Beth's plan to assassinate the Gromflomite Queen goes awry in a clip from this Sunday's episode of Rick and Morty.

Peter Stormare: Keanu Reeves is ‘not happy' with Constantine 2 scripts
Keanu Reeves is "not happy with the scripts" for 'Constantine 2', Peter Stormare has said. The 60-year-old actor's titular demonologist is set to return in a follow-up to the 2005 horror flick, and Stormare - who played Lucifer in the movie - has revealed Reeves has been disappointed with Warner Bros.' ideas for a more action-packed 'Constantine 2'. Speaking with The Direct, Stormare, 71, said: "It's a lot of back and forth, because ... I think Keanu, which I know pretty good, is not so happy with the scripts and usually what comes out of the studios. "Because the first one wasn't that successful in the beginning, it became a sleeper and became a cult movie, and now it is one of the biggest cult movies ever. But to do a sequel, the studios want to have, you know, cars flying in the air. They want to have people doing flip-flops and fighting action scenes." Stormare added that the 'John Wick' star believed a 'Constantine' sequel should be "spiritual", and was worried the follow-up would diverge from this concept in favour of focusing on action. He explained: "I think Keanu says, 'I've done 'John Wick'. This movie is spiritual. It's about demons and regular people. And I wanted to keep it that way.' "And we talked about that. I want to do God coming down exactly the same way, but in a black suit and looking more or less like Lucifer from the first one. I'm 12 years older, so it's going to be hard to, you know, completely imitate the first movie. "But, I think from Keanu, he wants to do a sequel that is very close to the first one." Even so, Stormare admitted he hasn't seen any of the scripts for 'Constantine 2' yet, and it was all "hearsay" from Reeves. He said: "That is just hearsay from him, you know, and it's trying to be very secretive. As we say, both me and him, just do the first movie again and add some other elements, and you have a sequel. "'The Godfather Part II' was a sequel that was built on number one. They are similar. You can actually see number one and two together, and they stick together. "So, don't do a completely different movie, then it won't hold together. And I think that's where we are, yeah." 'Constantine' tells the story of the titular exorcist and demonologist who helps LAPD policewoman Angela Dodson (Rachel Weisz) investigate her twin sister's mysterious suicide, only to discover that fallen angels from Hell are trying to enter the human world. While Reeves is seemingly apprehensive about the ideas for 'Constantine 2', Stormare insisted the actor was "very proud" of the character. He said: "I think Keanu is very proud of that. He was fighting for it to be a character that he loved and wanted to develop. "And I mean, with Tilda Swinton doing Gabriel, it is a cool character. And even my Lucifer is a cool character that you can relate to as a viewer ... They wanted to dress me up like, you know, like a devil with a tail and a pitchfork and whatever, but we were really fighting for me to have, like, an off-white suit and do it very simple."
