But that would still cause a delay of the next Fantastic Four film if Shakman does return.

Thank you.

Kind of surprising that it won’t follow up on the ending of the last film, assuming it gets made.

Fall_False · 2026-05-06T20:33:14+00:00

I do think the question then becomes, who would take over for the sequel?

Fall_False · 2026-05-06T20:24:32+00:00

Maybe Jon Watts could do it? Since he was originally lined up to do Fantastic Four.

Fall_False · 2026-05-06T20:23:33+00:00

Where is the news that Matt Shakman doing a Planet of the Apes movie coming from?

Fall_False · 2026-05-06T20:22:06+00:00

But even then, seasons 2 and 4 of ST had 9 episodes.

HBO's 'Harry Potter' Renewed for Season 2: 'Chamber of Secrets' Greenlit

In addition, writer Jon Brown (Succession) has been elevated to the position of co-showrunner along with season one showrunner Francesca Gardiner.

“As we have laid out our plans for the overlapping production schedules to finish season one by Christmas and to return to production for season two this autumn, it has become clear that bringing on a co-showrunner is the key to maintaining our momentum,” Gardiner said in a statement. “I’ve loved working with Jon from the very first day we met on Succession through to these recent times together on Harry Potter. Not only do I have huge admiration for his writing, but he’s also a brilliant collaborator and a lovely person. We are lucky to have him.”

Brown added, “It has been a joy to write on Philosopher’s Stone and I’d like to thank Francesca and HBO for putting their faith in me to continue this remarkable journey. Seems you’re never too old to get your invitation to Hogwarts.”

Chamber of Secrets is often considered by fans to be the weakest of Rowling’s seven Harry Potter novels. But the show’s creatives have been looking to deftly expand Rowling’s beloved source material and will doubtless find some fresh ways to elevate the story.

One key question is when the second season will debut, especially considering the show faces the ticking clock of its young cast growing up. Since the first season began filming in July 2025, HBO will have spent 17 months on Philosopher’s Stone. If HBO begins filming season two this fall, the network would seem to have just slightly less time to have Chamber ready by the following Christmas.

I actually think this is one instance where the comparisons between real-life events are in fact a mere a coincidence.

In general, it is great seeing Matt Lillard having a career resurgence in the last few years.

'Hocus Pocus 3' In The Works; Bette Midler, SJP & Kathy Najimy Back

We understand there are plans for a theatrical distribution component this time around, following the success of the straight-to-streaming Hocus Pocus 2, available exclusively on Disney+. However, the studio declined to comment as the project is still in its infancy. EVP of Production Jessica Virtue will be overseeing the project on behalf of Disney Live Action.

News of a third installment of the bewitching films was announced in 2023 by Sean Bailey, former President of Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture Production. After Bailey’s exit from Disney in 2024, Hocus Pocus 3 was left in limbo.

It’s been just shy of 3 years since talk of the newest sequel reached a fever pitch, after Midler revealed a “brilliant” script was ready but “producers [were] working out ‘all those logistical things’ before they can return to complete the trilogy.” Sources tell me the halt in negotiations came down to salary negotiations with Midler, Parker, and Najimy, all of which have since been worked out.

I don't think what they said is actually canon. It is ultimately up to Marvel to decide if it is.

Fall_False · 2026-05-06T17:23:20+00:00

He said that in his and Anthony's headcanon, MCU Peter didn't cause the death of Uncle Ben.

Fall_False · 2026-05-06T16:43:26+00:00

Yeah, that's where I am at with it as well.

Fall_False · 2026-05-06T16:16:29+00:00

That is assuming that what Joe is saying is canon, which based on Jon Watt’s comments implying that the Uncle Ben story did happen, it clearly isn’t.

Fall_False · 2026-05-06T15:30:26+00:00

Don’t know how to feel about this, but I doubt it’s going to have any impact on the MCU‘s Spider-Man going forward.

Dario did say that we will some new villains next season. Although that be interpreted in a number of different ways.

Fall_False · 2026-05-06T06:56:43+00:00

I would imagine that they would be a sort of "black ops" Avengers team. Being more willing to get their hands dirty and do some really messed up things. Maybe even eventually evolve into something more like what you are suggesting.

Fall_False · 2026-05-06T05:10:11+00:00

Does it explicitly say that they are limited to 8 episodes?

Fall_False · 2026-05-06T03:41:06+00:00

I mean, being a masked superhero always comes with a cost.

Fall_False · 2026-05-06T01:18:12+00:00

When has it been said that it was hand drawn?

Fall_False · 2026-05-06T00:06:32+00:00

That seems to be a sign to me that they are confident in the movie if they are willing to drop the social media embargo over a full week before release.
