The Mummy reboot has found another star (but seemingly still no Mummy). Get ready for even more Fast & Furious ahead of Fast X: Part 2. Plus, a haunting new look at Sinners. To me, my spoilers!
The Mummy
THR now has word Laia Costa (The Wheel of Time) has also joined the cast of Lee Cronin’s The Mummy in an undisclosed role.
James Bond
Following recent reports, Amazon has now confirmed that Amy Pascal and David Heyman will take over the Bond franchise from producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson at the studio. [Variety]
Avengers: Doomsday/Secret Wars
Speaking with Deadline, Gwyneth Paltrow stated she “thinks [she] might” reprise her role as Peper Potts in another MCU project sometime soon.
The truth is, I don’t totally know. I think I might, but I’m not sure. Nothing is confirmed. That is the truth. That’s the inside scoop.
Fast X: Part 2
Vin Diesel revealed he’s been asked to direct a “precursor” to Fast X: Part 2 on Instagram, in much the same way he did for Fast & Furious.
Death Of a Unicorn
Will Poulter really wants to hot tub with Paul Rudd in a new clip from Death Of a Unicorn.
Sinners
Elsewhere, a newly-minted vampire fishes for an invite in a new clip from Sinners.
The Testaments
Deadline reports Rowan Blanchard (Girl Meets World) has joined the cast of the upcoming Handmaid’s Tale spinoff, The Testaments, as Shunammite, a “pampered teen from a prominent Gilead family whose status affords her a certain level of respect and power amongst her peers.”
Ghosts
A “wisecracking 1940s screenwriter” woos Sasappis in the synopsis for “His Girl Shiki,” the April 3 episode of Ghosts.
Pete makes good on his promise to find someone for Sasappis by bringing in a wisecracking 1940s screenwriter who also has the ability to roam, on the CBS Original series GHOSTS, Thursday, April 3 (8:31-9:01 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ (live and on demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs)*.
YOLO: Rainbow Trinity
Finally, a computer simulation takes Rachel and Sarah back to 2006 in a clip from next week’s episode of YOLO: Rainbow Trinity.
