Anthony Mackie is poised to have a big 2025. Not only is he the star of “Captain America: Brave New World,” which introduces his new version of Captain America on the big screen, but he’s also set to release the second season of his hit Peacock show, “Twisted Metal.” And it was none other than Harrison Ford, on the set of ‘Brave New World,’ who really treated him like a bonafide movie star.

Four years ago, as a global pandemic brought society both indoors and desperate for any means of suitable distraction, television veteran Bill Lawrence, having once breathed life into cultural touchstones “Spin City” and “Scrubs,” made the leap to the streaming landscape of Apple TV+ with “Ted Lasso.” Though “Lasso” presumably ended its run after three near-legendary seasons, Lawrence’s newest series, “Shrinking,” was only just emerging from the gates, a show now gifted with a second excursion into a world of therapists, stabs at personal growth and the sort of interpersonal dilemmas standard for any half-hour sitcom.

At his age now, you wouldn’t think of Harrison Ford as someone who is keen on joining another major franchise. This is someone who has been the star of multiple massive franchises. Yet, he’s the newest member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the upcoming film, “Captain America: Brave New World.” So, why has Ford joined the MCU when so many of his peers are scoffing at the idea?

Are Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein the TV producer tandem to beat in the industry right now?  After the success of “Ted Lasso,” it’s hard to argue with that assessment. And while that show may get revived for a Season 4, don’t forget about the duo’s other Apple TV+ series “Shrinking,” which has its second season premiere on the streamer next month.

Ever since “Ted Lasso” surprised everyone and became a massive hit for Apple TV+, the streamer has been in the Bill Lawrence business. Seemingly anything the producer wants to make will end up getting a greenlight from Apple. His first post-“Ted Lasso” series was “Shrinking,” which was quickly picked up for a season two. Now, we have our first tease of what’s to come with the show.

Nearly six years after Captain Steve Rodgers handed Sam Wilson, Aka The Falcon, the shield in “Avengers: Endgame” (well, at least in real years, not MCU years), Wilson (Anthony Mackie) will finally appear in his first solo movie, “Captain America: Brave New World.” Not due in theaters until early 2025, with “Deadpool & Wolverine” in theaters soon, Marvel is not missing a beat, releasing the trailer now, which means it’ll undoubtedly played nationwide in movie theaters before the Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds-led film.

Marvel’s upcoming blockbuster “Captain America: Brave New World” isn’t due in theaters until February 2024, but as you may have noticed by now, companies like McDonald’s are already advertising the film, and various pieces of marketing have revealed some early spoilers (beware, spoilers discussed below in this article). The issue, it seems, is that “Captain America: Brave New World” was initially scheduled for release this summer, with a date that once included May 3, 2024, and a subsequent date for July 26, 2024.

After last year, Marvel Studios finds themselves sitting where they’ve never sat before: the hot seat. “Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania” kicked off the MCU‘s Phase 5 with a thud, “Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3” was an effective wave goodbye to DCU co-head James Gunn, and “The Marvels” was, commercially speaking, the worst Marvel movie ever.

Everyone loves a what if, us especially. We all like to dream about the greatest projects never made, right? Well, here’s one more to add to that pile. In a recent episode of TCM and MAX’s new Talking Pictures podcast with host Ben Mankiewicz, Steven Soderbergh reveals a very old project that didn’t come to pass that we’ve either long forgotten or never heard about (vague recollection).

The speculation is always churning around the Marvel Universe and it didn’t help there was a lot of crossover misinformation about the upcoming “Thunderbolts” movie and “Captain America: Brave New World” earlier this year and last.

Last night the trades didn’t help, with Deadline accidentally claiming that Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes/Winter Solider was in “Captain America 4,” outlets covering it and then the trade quickly deleting the information.

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire? Are the rumors of “Captain America: Brave New World” true? What rumors? Well, “‘Captain America: Brave New World” was once a summer 2024 movie set right in the heart of July. However, after the strikes, Marvel Studios revamped their entire schedule, moving “Deadpool 3” into that July position even though its production shoot—which is still going on now as we speak—wasn’t complete and ‘Brave New World’ had finished its principal photography.

Tom Cruise turned 61 on Monday, but no one would know it from all the physically demanded stunts he does in “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One.” And if the actor has his way, he’ll keep doing stunts like that for another couple of decades, like Harrison Ford in the “Indiana Jones” franchise.

Lucasfilm isn’t hiding the fact that “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” is the final film in the franchise for Harrison Ford, and thus, Indiana Jones. But in an industry obsessed with franchises, it wouldn’t be shocking to see Lucasfilm try its best to keep the ‘Indy’ film series going strong with a new lead. Perhaps the new character played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge in ‘Dial of Destiny?’

Marvel Studios typically hates when set photos get leaked and fans around the world get a sneak peek at one of the upcoming films or TV shows. But it’s not so bad, I suppose, when someone from Marvel is actually doing the leaking, as is the case with Anthony Mackie giving people a behind-the-scenes look at the new “Captain America” film.

Not only did Anthony Mackie share an image of himself and co-star Harrison Ford on the set of the next “Captain America” feature, but he also revealed the revised title for the film, ‘Brave New World.’ When it was originally announced, “Captain America 4” was given the name, “Captain America: New World Order.” However, it appears Marvel Studios has thought twice about that title.

What a night it was for Harrison Ford yesterday, receiving an honorary Palme d’Or and a special tribute to his career before the world premiere of “Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny.” Did James Mangold‘s take on the legendary franchise live up to the proceedings? Well, the reviews from the premiere (including The Playlist’s) are pretty mixed. But many note Ford’s performance as a major highlight, so at least the actor gives his most popular movie character a proper send-off.

In “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” the sturdy lark, positioned precariously in the liminal space between commerce and taste, there are the familiar callbacks, the big set pieces, the cracking bullwhip, dashing fedoras, nefarious Nazis, exotic locales, old friends and new faces. Something, however, is missing. More on that in a bit. It starts with a recognizable canvas: Nazi Germany is nearing the end of World War II. Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford), wearing a German officer’s uniform, is hauled in for questioning with a sack covering his head.

James Mangold‘s “Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny” will have its world premiere next month at the Cannes Film Festival on May 18: a prestige showing for a prestige franchise. Or what was once a prestige franchise? Fifteen years after 2008’s “Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Cyrstal Skull,” it’s hard to tell how much cultural caché Lucasfilm‘s storied series still has.

Variety reports that legendary actor Al Pacino had all sorts of stories to share at a talk he did at the 92nd Street Y in NYC this week. Among them: Pacino turned down the role of Han Solo in “Star Wars,” despite “so much money” being offered him. As the actor tells it: “I gave Harrison Ford his career.”

Harrison Ford returns as the legendary hero archaeologist in the highly anticipated fifth installment of the iconic “Indiana Jones” franchise. Coming to theaters June 30 via Lucasfilm, today at Star Wars Celebration, that teased all things Lucasfilm and not just “Star Wars,” hence Indiana Jones’ and the company introduced the new trailer to “Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny.”

Peeling back much of the mystery of the plot and story, the new ‘Dial Of Destiny’ trailer centers heavily on Phoebe Waller-Bridge (“Fleabag”), who is confirmed to play Jones’ goddaughter and the daughter of one of Jones friends from the series (though who exactly, it isn’t said, presumably Denholm Elliott character Marcus Brody?)

‘Dial Of Destiny,’ the much-anticipated fifth installment of the iconic “Indiana Jones” franchise, is directed by James Mangold (“Ford v Ferrari,” “Logan”), who is also joining the “Star Wars” universe as a director (read that story here).

At 80 years old, Harrison Ford is busier than ever. He’s the star of an AppleTV+ dramedy in “Shrinking” with Jason Segel, he plays a hardnosed cowboy in the “Yellowstone” prequel series, “1923,” and he’s joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe and will be playing General Thunderbolt Ross in “Captain America: New World Order” (and possibly may turn up in “Thunderbolts” too).

Steven Spielberg’s “Indiana Jones” franchise is generally well-beloved, and yes, it has its mystical, supernatural, and paranormal elements—see the end of “Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade” or even, hell, the end of “Raiders Of The Lost Ark.” Geez, there were all kinds of wild iterations that almost made it to the screen like “Indiana Jones and the Saucermen from Mars,” Frank Darabont’s “Indiana Jones and The City of The Gods,” but for whatever reason, the alien elements in “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull,” were a bridge too far for most audiences.

It’s not controversial to say that Harrison Ford has gotten older, especially when you consider his age when he starred in the first “Indiana Jones” film back in 1981. Well, as Ford preps for the release of “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” which arrives later this year, there’s one thing the actor wants you to know right now—cheap age jokes are not going to be featured in the film.

One can only imagine the blank check that Bill Lawrence has from Apple TV+ after the massive success of his “Ted Lasso,” which he co-created and has won the company dozens of awards, putting them on the TV map. He used that cachet for this week’s likable dramedy “Shrinking,” a show that almost brazenly sets up character archetypes and then asks its cast to push through the clichés of their shallow descriptions.

Phase 5 of the MCU finally gets underway next month with “Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania.” And while it remains unclear how much that movie sets up the rest of the MCU’s next chapter, Marvel fans anticipate Phase 5 will bring its fair share of changes. For example, take “Captain America: New World Order,” which sees Anthony Mackie‘s Sam Wilson officially take over the shield and helmet from Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers.
