Marvel Studios’ “Eternals” might not be seen as a great film in the MCU canon, but it does introduce a wealth of new characters to the universe. Obviously, you have the title characters, but there’s also folks like Pip the Troll, Starfox, and of course, Kit Harington’s Black Knight. However, since the film wasn’t a huge critical and box office success, there’s no telling when we might see those characters again.

It’s been a number of years since HBO’s “Game of Thrones” aired its much-maligned final season. But considering that show is one of the most popular of the past two decades, people still want to talk about it. This means Kit Harington is going to have to talk about the final season at some point. Well, that point is now.

Speaking to GQ, while promoting his role in the HBO show “Industry,” Kit Harington finally opened up about the controversial final season of “Game of Thrones.” That is to say, he fessed up to the fact that it was a bit lackluster.

At the risk of repeating ourselves, permit me to reiterate an oft-regurgitated Playlist sentiment in this review of “Industry” season three. Set in the high stakes, high-risk world of London international investment banking, the propulsive “Industry” is HBO’s best-kept secret and the waiting-in-the-wings heir to “Succession.” Moreover, created by Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, in the vacuum left by “Succession,” the addictively compelling and sharply written series seems poised to finally ascend to the top of the HBO prestige throne.

With the end of “Succession” last year, HBO has a big void. Someone must fill the hole with a series focusing on money and wealth, right? Luckily, HBO already has a perfect successor for “Succession” waiting in the wings—the excellent series “Industry.”

In this week’s episode of Bingeworthy, our TV and streaming podcast host Mike DeAngelo sent a raven and rode a dragon back to Westeros to talk to “House of the Dragon” showrunner Ryan Condal. Condal created “House Of The Dragon” with George R. R. Martin and originally co-ran the show with “Game Of Thrones” director/producer Miguel Sapochnik. Sapochnik very publicly left the series after season one, leaving Condal to run the show on his own.

While the Marvel Studios narrative generally goes: an unimpeachable run at the box-office and with critics until 2023’s flop “The Marvels,” a closer inspection of the whole story arguably shows chinks starting to show in the armor during the pandemic. While it’s unfair to compare the box office of pandemic-era movies like “Shang Chi” and “Black Widow” to their non-pandemic counterparts, one film that seemed to take it in the teeth, regardless, was Chloe Zhao’s “Eternals” (read our review here).

In the post “Game of Thrones” era, HBO notoriously put seemingly dozens of shows into development, trying to capture lightning in a bottle again. One of them, starring Naomi Watts, even shot a pilot but was scrapped and not picked up. Writer’s rooms were put together, and screenwriters and directors tried to map out all kinds of ideas (we lost track, but circa 2017, there were about six of seven different shows in development).

The pic takes place in late medieval England, with the War Of The Roses as a backdrop.

With “House Of The Dragon” breaking all sorts of viewership records for HBO and winning over critics, it’s safe to say more “Game Of Thrones” spinoffs are coming soon. The first on the way? “A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight,” which got a series order in April. But fans probably anticipate Kit Harington‘s Jon Snow spin-off the most if it gets greenlit.

HBO already has a slew of “Game Of Thrones” spin-offs in development, with the first, “House Of The Dragon,” set to premiere on the channel this August. But news of another spin-off, this one starring Kit Harington‘s Jon Snow, made the rounds last week. That show, more of an idea at this point, would be the first “Thrones” series set after the events of the original, which wrapped up to sour reviews back in 2019.

For nearly a decade, Kit Harington was one of the biggest stars on TV, thanks to his lead role on the massive HBO hit series, “Game of Thrones.” And if you watched the show, you know Harington’s character, the heroic but gloomy Jon Snow, is one of the more intense presences in the ensemble cast. And according to the actor, that intensity and the darkness of ‘Thrones’ led him to have to take an extended mental health break from acting.

Stuck in an uncanny valley somewhere between real life and slick Hollywood gloss, John Carney’s “Modern Love” is back for a second season on Amazon Prime Video.

The landscape of the Peak TV era is cluttered, to say the least. For every major, big-budget series with an impressive cast (such as the upcoming series, “The Stand”), there are a dozen or more shows that would have likely been awards contenders a decade ago but are just lost in the shuffle. And you can’t help but think that’s going to be the case, once again, for the Netflix series “Criminal.”

More than a year after it debuted during the fall film festival circuit of 2018, and more than two years after it finished filming, film fans in the US are just about a month away from being able to watch Xavier Dolan’s troubled film, “The Death and Life of John F. Donovan.” And as seen in the new trailer, ‘John F. Donovan’ tells the story of a young actor that had a pen pal relationship with a now-deceased TV star, and how the letters that were sent impacted their lives in major ways.

Considering “Game of Thrones” was nominated for about 3,254 awards at last night’s Emmys, it was clear that the cast and crew of the HBO series would be in attendance, and would likely be hit with some uncomfortable questions.

Of all the films and Disney+ TV projects that Marvel Studios has announced over the last couple of months, it’s hard to argue with anyone that says “Eternals” might be the most exciting. The studio has so far shined greatest when taking unfamiliar heroes and molding them into household names, with the “Guardians of the Galaxy” films being prime examples. But with “Eternals,” it’s not just the unknown that’s exciting, but also the diversity and inclusivity that is coming along with this highly-anticipated film.

Marvel somehow protected all their many secrets at Comic-Con this year: eleven projects announced, five Disney + shows, five movies from Phase 4 and “Blade” for Phase 5.

During the press tour surrounding the final season of “Game of Thrones,” most of the actors had the same answer when it came to the actor that was most emotional about the series ending — Kit Harington.

Arya did it. It wasn’t Jon Snow. Dany didn’t get the chance. Hell, it wasn’t even Tyrion, who has done his fair share of killing.

And according to a new interview with EW, the cast of “Game of Thrones” talks about the shock of that ending and how it was unexpected for everyone involved.
