The third Now You See Me film has been a long time coming, and Lionsgate is finally making progress with this sequel. The studio is slowly rounding out the young cast of Now You See Me 3, which now includes Ariana Greenblatt, Justice Smith, and Dominic Sessa.

Just like the first two films in the franchise, the third installment will delve into the world of the illusionists and center on the member of the thieving quartet the Four Horsemen. They’re coming back for another heist in Now You See Me 3, but they’ll be joined by a new generation of magicians, who have a few tricks up their sleeve.

Ariana Greenblatt (Barbie) was the first star added to the show’s young cast, and she’ll have great support from Dominic Sessa, the breakout star of last year’s The Holdovers, and Justice Smith, who most recently starred in Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.

Now You See Me 3 will also feature several familiar faces, with Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Mark Ruffalo, and Morgan Freeman expected to return in their respective roles.

Now You See Me produced two films which came out in 2013 and 2016 and grossed nearly $700 million worldwide despite mixed critical reception.

Bill Hader voiced more amazing animated films than we can count over the years, and he’s getting ready to do it again. The SNL alum will lead the voice cast of Warner Bros. Pictures Animation’s The Cat in the Hat along with Quinta Brunson and Bowen Yang.

Warner Bros’s new take on the Dr. Seuss classic hails from writers and directors Alessandro Carloni and Erica Rivinoja and sees The Cat taking on his toughest assignment yet. When a pair of siblings struggles with their move to a new town, it’s up to the titular hero to cheer them up.

Hader (Barry) will voice The Cat, and he’ll be in pretty good company! He’ll be joined by Quinta Brunson (Abbott Elementary), Bowen Yang (Saturday Night Live), Xochitl Gomez (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness), Matt Berry (What We Do in The Shadows) and Paula Pell (Girls5eva) in supporting voice roles.

Susan Brandt, the President and CEO of Dr. Seuss Enterprises, is excited to see such an exceptional group of talent join the effort to bring this iconic character to the big screen.

“It’s been an amazing experience collaborating with the team from Warner Bros. Pictures Animation so far, as they truly understand what it takes to capture the magic of The Cat in the Hat and share his brand of imagination and joy with a new generation of Dr. Seuss fans,” said Brandt in a statement.

Cat in the Hat will be released by Warner Bros. on March 6, 2026.

After getting her big break with House of the Dragon, Milly Alcock is ready to lead another high-profile project. The Australian actress has been cast as the next Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, in James Gunn and Peter Safran’s new DC Universe.

Alcock will play the Woman of Steel after crushing her audition and defeating the likes of Emilia Jones and Meg Donnelly to win this role. James Gunn confirmed her casting on social media and said he’s incredibly excited about her being a part of the DCU after being blown away by her audition and screen tests.

Gunn previously discussed the new version of this character during DC’s presentation in early 2023 and described her as a very different type of Supergirl.

“We see the difference between Superman […} versus Supergirl, who was raised on a rock chip-off of Krypton and watched everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life, and then came to Earth when she was a young girl,” said Gunn at the time.

It remains unknown if Alcock will make her debut in Superman: Legacy alongside David Corenswet, but she’s expected to appear in another DC-based project before leading her standalone feature Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.

Lex Luthor is definitely Superman’s most formidable enemy, and we finally know who’ll play him in the next film about this iconic superhero. Nicholas Hoult is eying the role of Lex Luthor in James Gunn’s upcoming film Superman: Legacy.

Warner Bros. waited for the SAG-AFTRA strike to end before casting the film’s main villain, and Hoult emerged as the front-runner for the role. The Emmy-nominated actor will have big shoes to fill because this iconic character had previously been portrayed by the likes of Gene Hackman, Kevin Spacey, and Jesse Eisenberg.

Hoult received award recognition for his role in the historical satire The Great, which was shockingly canceled by Hulu earlier this year. He’s also attached to Robert Eggers’s Nosferatu, Justin Kurzel’s The Order, Clint Eastwood’s Juror No. 2, and The Garfield Movie.

David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan have been cast as Superman/Clark Kent and Lois Lane in Superman: Legacy. earlier this year, and they’ll be joined by Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, and María Gabriela de Faría as The Engineer.

Superman: Legacy is expected to hit the theaters on July 11, 2025, and James Gunn recently said that the labor disputes in Hollywood won’t impact its release date.

Most fans of The Witcher can’t imagine this show without Henry Cavill, but they’ll have to do it soon since he won’t be around for much longer. Cavill exited the series ahead of Season 4, and Liam Hemsworth is set to take his role of Geralt of Rivia.

Cavill released an official statement announcing his exit and sent words of encouragement Hemsworth’s way as he starts exploring this amazing character.

“In my stead, the fantastic Mr Liam Hemsworth will be taking up the mantle of the White Wolf. As with the greatest of literary characters, I pass the torch with reverence for the time spent embodying Geralt and enthusiasm to see Liam’s take on this most fascinating and nuanced of men,” said Cavill in a statement.

Liam Hemsworth echoed his words, describing Cavill as “an incredible Geralt” and thanked him for allowing him to take up the White Wolf’s blades for the next chapter of his adventure. He’s best known for starring in the Hunger Games franchise, but we’ve recently seen him on Netflix’s own Isn’t It Romantic.

Cavill’s exit is quite a shocker for The Witcher fan, but it wasn’t that difficult to predict since it comes shortly after he announced his return as Superman in the DCU. We’ll still get to see him play Geralt of Rivia in Season 3, set to premiere on Netflix next year.

Pablo Larraín has given us several pretty amazing biopics in recent years, and he’s currently plotting another one. Angelina Jolie is set to play American-born Greek opera legend Maria Callas in Pablo Larraín’s upcoming biopic about the singer’s life.

The new biopic is set to reimagine Callas’ final days in 1970s Paris. Larraín said it’s a fascinating opportunity and a true gift to tell this tumultuous, beautiful, and tragic story alongside Jolie, especially since it allows him to combine his two deepest passions: cinema and opera.

Jolie, whose recent credits include Marvel’s Eternals and action thriller Those Who Wish Me Dead, is just as excited to celebrate Callas’ legacy through this project.

“I take very seriously the responsibility to Maria’s life and legacy. I will give all I can to meet the challenge. Pablo Larraín is a director I have long admired. To be allowed the chance to tell more of Maria’s story with him, and with a script by Steven Knight, is a dream,” said Jolie.

Pablo Larraín is no stranger to directing biopics that take a look back at some of the most tumultuous moments in the lives of important historical figures. His filmography also includes Spencer, starring Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana, and Jackie, with Natalie Portman portraying Jackie Kennedy.

Peter Dinklage has been pretty busy since Game of Thrones wrapped up and he just landed another major movie role. The four-time Emmy-winning actor is set to join the growing cast of the highly-anticipated prequel film Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.

Dinklage will play Casca Highbottom, dean of the Academy. Director Francis Lawrence described his character as the austere and vindictive face of the Games, who sets the rules that will determine every aspect of Coriolanus Snow’s fate.

Lawrence added he’s thrilled that Dinklage will be bringing this character to life, and Lionsgate president Nathan Kahane echoed his words. He described him as one of the best actors alive and said he’ll bring formidable, charismatic authority to the important role of the dean of the Academy.

Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes takes place many years before the events of the original franchise, and it centers on the 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow, as he tries to restore his family’s pride while mentoring Lucy Gray Baird, the girl tribute from impoverished District 12.

Tom Blyth and Rachel Zegler will play lead roles, while the rest of the cast includes Jason Schwartzman, Hunter Schafer, Josh Andrés Rivera, Ashley Liao, Sofia Sanchez, and more. The film’s premiere date is set for November 17, 2023.

The cast of Dune: Part 2 is getting more impressive by the day, and Léa Seydoux is the latest star to join it. The French actress will take on the role of Lady Margot in this highly-anticipated sequel to Denis Villeneuve’s space epic Dune: Part 1.

Seydoux’s character never appeared on the big screen before since David Lynch decided to omit her from his 1984 adaptation of Dune. In Frank Herbert’s novels, Lady Margot Fenring is a long standing-servant of the Sisterhood so there’s a chance Dune: Part 2 isn’t the only project we’ll get to see her in.

Seydoux became an international sensation after playing the Bond girl Madeleine Swann in Spectre and No Time to Die. She’s a household name in France, where she won Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival and received several nominations for the prestigious César Award. We’ll soon get to see her in David Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future and Mia Hansen Love’s One Fine Morning, both set to come out later this year.

Dune: Part 2 will see Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Zendaya, and Josh Brolin return to their respective roles from the first film, while the new cast includes Florence Pugh, Christopher Walken, and Austin Butler. The release date of this project is yet to be announced, but it’s eyeing a 2023 release

Rachel Zegler made quite a splash with her breakout role in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story and it was just a matter of time before other high-profile projects started coming her way. She’s just been cast as the main female lead in the highly-anticipated movie The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

This project serves as the prequel to the popular The Hunger Games franchise, and it shifts focus to the 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow. He ruled Panem with an iron fist during his time as the president and was played by Donald Sutherland in the original films.

Tom Blyth is set to replace Sutherland in the role of the young Snow, and Zegler is joining him as Lucy Gray Baird. She’s a tribute from impoverished District 12, who managed to impress all of Capitol with her singing at the reaping ceremony and is set to be mentored by Snow.

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is only the latest on the long list of projects that Zegler is working on right now. Following the success of her Golden Globe-nominated role in West Side Story, she’s set to appear in Shazam! Fury of the Gods and play the titular role in Disney’s live-action adaptation of the animated classic Snow White.

Most fans of The Witcher can’t imagine this show without Henry Cavill, but they’ll have to do it soon since he won’t be around for much longer. Cavill exited the series ahead of Season 4, and Liam Hemsworth is set to take his role of Geralt of Rivia.

Cavill released an official statement announcing his exit and sent words of encouragement Hemsworth’s way as he starts exploring this amazing character.

“In my stead, the fantastic Mr Liam Hemsworth will be taking up the mantle of the White Wolf. As with the greatest of literary characters, I pass the torch with reverence for the time spent embodying Geralt and enthusiasm to see Liam’s take on this most fascinating and nuanced of men,” said Cavill in a statement.

Liam Hemsworth echoed his words, describing Cavill as “an incredible Geralt” and thanked him for allowing him to take up the White Wolf’s blades for the next chapter of his adventure. He’s best known for starring in the Hunger Games franchise, but we’ve recently seen him on Netflix’s own Isn’t It Romantic.

Cavill’s exit is quite a shocker for The Witcher fan, but it wasn’t that difficult to predict since it comes shortly after he announced his return as Superman in the DCU. We’ll still get to see him play Geralt of Rivia in Season 3, set to premiere on Netflix next year.

Pablo Larraín has given us several pretty amazing biopics in recent years, and he’s currently plotting another one. Angelina Jolie is set to play American-born Greek opera legend Maria Callas in Pablo Larraín’s upcoming biopic about the singer’s life.

The new biopic is set to reimagine Callas’ final days in 1970s Paris. Larraín said it’s a fascinating opportunity and a true gift to tell this tumultuous, beautiful, and tragic story alongside Jolie, especially since it allows him to combine his two deepest passions: cinema and opera.

Jolie, whose recent credits include Marvel’s Eternals and action thriller Those Who Wish Me Dead, is just as excited to celebrate Callas’ legacy through this project.

“I take very seriously the responsibility to Maria’s life and legacy. I will give all I can to meet the challenge. Pablo Larraín is a director I have long admired. To be allowed the chance to tell more of Maria’s story with him, and with a script by Steven Knight, is a dream,” said Jolie.

Pablo Larraín is no stranger to directing biopics that take a look back at some of the most tumultuous moments in the lives of important historical figures. His filmography also includes Spencer, starring Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana, and Jackie, with Natalie Portman portraying Jackie Kennedy.

Peter Dinklage has been pretty busy since Game of Thrones wrapped up and he just landed another major movie role. The four-time Emmy-winning actor is set to join the growing cast of the highly-anticipated prequel film Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.

Dinklage will play Casca Highbottom, dean of the Academy. Director Francis Lawrence described his character as the austere and vindictive face of the Games, who sets the rules that will determine every aspect of Coriolanus Snow’s fate.

Lawrence added he’s thrilled that Dinklage will be bringing this character to life, and Lionsgate president Nathan Kahane echoed his words. He described him as one of the best actors alive and said he’ll bring formidable, charismatic authority to the important role of the dean of the Academy.

Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes takes place many years before the events of the original franchise, and it centers on the 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow, as he tries to restore his family’s pride while mentoring Lucy Gray Baird, the girl tribute from impoverished District 12.

Tom Blyth and Rachel Zegler will play lead roles, while the rest of the cast includes Jason Schwartzman, Hunter Schafer, Josh Andrés Rivera, Ashley Liao, Sofia Sanchez, and more. The film’s premiere date is set for November 17, 2023.

The cast of Dune: Part 2 is getting more impressive by the day, and Léa Seydoux is the latest star to join it. The French actress will take on the role of Lady Margot in this highly-anticipated sequel to Denis Villeneuve’s space epic Dune: Part 1.

Seydoux’s character never appeared on the big screen before since David Lynch decided to omit her from his 1984 adaptation of Dune. In Frank Herbert’s novels, Lady Margot Fenring is a long standing-servant of the Sisterhood so there’s a chance Dune: Part 2 isn’t the only project we’ll get to see her in.

Seydoux became an international sensation after playing the Bond girl Madeleine Swann in Spectre and No Time to Die. She’s a household name in France, where she won Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival and received several nominations for the prestigious César Award. We’ll soon get to see her in David Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future and Mia Hansen Love’s One Fine Morning, both set to come out later this year.

Dune: Part 2 will see Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Zendaya, and Josh Brolin return to their respective roles from the first film, while the new cast includes Florence Pugh, Christopher Walken, and Austin Butler. The release date of this project is yet to be announced, but it’s eyeing a 2023 release

Rachel Zegler made quite a splash with her breakout role in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story and it was just a matter of time before other high-profile projects started coming her way. She’s just been cast as the main female lead in the highly-anticipated movie The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

This project serves as the prequel to the popular The Hunger Games franchise, and it shifts focus to the 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow. He ruled Panem with an iron fist during his time as the president and was played by Donald Sutherland in the original films.

Tom Blyth is set to replace Sutherland in the role of the young Snow, and Zegler is joining him as Lucy Gray Baird. She’s a tribute from impoverished District 12, who managed to impress all of Capitol with her singing at the reaping ceremony and is set to be mentored by Snow.

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is only the latest on the long list of projects that Zegler is working on right now. Following the success of her Golden Globe-nominated role in West Side Story, she’s set to appear in Shazam! Fury of the Gods and play the titular role in Disney’s live-action adaptation of the animated classic Snow White.
