Actress Liv Tyler reprises her role as Betty Ross, marking her return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) after more than a decade. In a recent interview with Collider, director Julius Onah explained how he convinced Tyler to return:

Luckily, she responded.&rdquo;

<h2>How Duncan Idaho Returns (Spoilers Ahead)</h2>
In Dune: Messiah, Duncan Idaho is resurrected as a 'Ghola', a genetically engineered clone, presented as a gift to Emperor Paul Atreides. While this new version of Duncan retains his original appearance, he has no memory of his past life.
However, Paul does not know that the 'Ghola' has been subliminally programmed to assassinate him. However, as the story unfolds, Duncan gradually regains his memories and resists his conditioning. This new dynamic between Paul and his once-loyal friend promises to add an intriguing layer of tension to the film, especially with Idaho playing a crucial role in the broader Dune saga.

Dune: Messiah - Here's how Jason Momoa's 'Duncan Idaho' will return for part 3

Mattel's latest attempt at bringing He-Man to live-action, Masters of the Universe, has sparked concern among fans. Recently released images and a new plot synopsis suggest the upcoming movie is making the same mistake as the infamous 1987 adaptation, by setting part of the story on Earth.

<h2>What is He-Man about?</h2>
The classic He-Man story follows Prince Adam of Eternia, who wields a magical sword that transforms him into the powerful warrior He-Man. Alongside his allies, he defends his home from the evil warlock Skeletor, who seeks to steal an ancient power source.

<h2>Is history repeating itself?</h2>
According to the new plot synopsis, Masters of the Universe will follow a young Prince Adam stranded on Earth without his magical power sword. Eventually, he will return to Eternia, but much of the film&rsquo;s early story unfolds on Earth.
This approach closely mirrors the 1987 Masters of the Universe movie, directed by Gary Goddard and starring Dolph Lundgren. Instead of embracing the dark fantasy world of Eternia, that film was largely set on Earth, where He-Man found himself babysitting a teenage couple. The result was a critical and commercial failure, with its only redeeming factor being Frank Langella&rsquo;s memorable performance as Skeletor.

The decision to once again partially set the story on Earth seems unnecessary. He-Man has never had an overly complex premise, and making the choice to "ground" the story in a familiar setting is puzzling. It raises concerns that studios haven&rsquo;t learned from past mistakes. The best-case scenario would be that the Earth sequences are kept brief and don&rsquo;t overshadow the rich world of Eternia.
<h2>Cast and crew</h2>
Despite these concerns, Masters of the Universe has some promising elements. The film is directed by Travis Knight, known for his work on Kubo and the Two Strings and Bumblebee. The cast includes Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man, alongside Camila Mendes, Jared Leto, Alison Brie, Idris Elba, and Morena Baccarin.
Fans can only hope that Masters of the Universe breathes new life into the long-languishing franchise, rather than repeating history when it hits the big screen on June 5, 2026.

Masters of the Universe: Is the new He-Man reboot repeating the same mistake as the 1987 version?

The X-Men movie is one of the most highly anticipated projects in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). With constant casting rumours, speculation is growing about which actors will take on the roles of the beloved mutants.
Recent reports suggest that Stranger Things actress Sadie Sink is being considered for Jean Grey, while both DeWanda Wise and Ayo Edebiri are in the running for Storm. Additionally, Harris Dickinson is rumoured to be a contender for Cyclops.

Now, according to insider Jeff Sneider, Marvel is considering The Substance actress Margaret Qualley for the role of Rogue. The character was previously portrayed by Anna Paquin in Bryan Singer&rsquo;s X-Men films.
<h2>Who Is Rogue?</h2>
In the comics, Rogue is one of the most well-known members of the X-Men. She possesses superstrength, flight, and the ability to absorb the life force and powers of others through touch.

<h2>What we know about the X-Men movie so far</h2>

Marvel appears to be taking a careful approach in integrating the mutants into Phase 6, an understandable move given the mixed reception of Phase 5, which many fans criticised as rushed and unfocused.
For now, X-Men fans will likely have to wait until Phase 6 officially begins with The Fantastic Four: First Steps, set for release on July 25, 2025.

Watkins, known for his work on Eden Lake, The Woman in Black, and the recent Speak No Evil, brings extensive experience in the horror genre, making him an ideal choice for the project. The film is reportedly being developed on a $40 million budget and will serve as an origin story for Clayface.
<h2>Clayface&rsquo;s origins</h2>
In the comics, Clayface is one of Batman&rsquo;s most notorious enemies, a shape-shifting villain whose body is composed of a clay-like substance. Originally a celebrated actor, Basil Karlo resorted to using an experimental serum to conceal a severe facial injury. However, his reliance on the serum led to a complete transformation, turning him into the monstrous Clayface.

Marvel has confirmed that Spider-Man 4's release date has been pushed back by one week. Originally set for July 24, 2026, the film will now hit theatres on July 31, 2026. It is the third project in Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
