Watchmen’s Jeremy Irons Explains His Not-So-Mystery Character
Spoilers follow for the first two episodes of HBO’s Watchmen.
With the latest episode of Watchmen, "Martial Feats of Comanche Horsemanship," we’ve learned just a little bit more about Jeremy Irons’ character, who is all but confirmed to be Adrian Veidt, a.k.a. Ozymandias. Sure, they haven’t specifically named him yet onscreen, but as creator and showrunner Damon Lindelof recently told IGN, “I am very comfortable saying you can't call something Watchmen unless Adrian Veidt is in it.”
Ozymandias is the former masked adventurer who, in the original story, turned out to be behind a far-reaching conspiracy which resulted in the death of some three million people, all to stop a nuclear war from taking place (long story). Now, over 30 years later on the HBO show, it sure seems as though that plan worked. But how does Veidt feel about what he did back then? And what exactly is he up to now, seemingly living in isolation with those weird clone-like servants of his? Oh, and why is he staging a reenactment of the birth of Dr. Manhattan in the latest episode? And will Veidt’s story ever connect to what’s going on in Tulsa? Let’s dig in with Lindelof and Irons on these questions and more…

Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ Series Was Originally a Film, Ewan McGregor Confirms
Ewan McGregor has confirmed that the Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ series was originally set to be a film, and he is very happy that it turned out not be.
Speaking to ComingSoon.net during the Doctor Sleep junket, McGregor discussed how it was going to be a single movie that was reportedly going to be directed by Stephen Daldry.
“It wasn’t always going to be a series, not initially,” McGregor confirmed. “When we first started talking about, that wasn’t really in the cards but everything’s changed so much, so quickly. It’s really exciting that it is now. I’m really into the idea to be able to tell the story over several hours instead of just one hit. I think it’s going to be quite cool.”

Though its PS4 release hasn't even come out yet, Kojima Productions confirmed Death Stranding will be coming to PC in 2020 following its exclusive launch on PS4. But the company, in its fledgling days, already revealed it would be coming to PC...and we kind of just forgot.

The new series will build on recent and upcoming developments in Supergirl and focus on the pressures Lois and Clark face in balancing their professional lives, superhero responsibilities, and the complexities of raising a child.
