Better Call Saul's co-creator Peter Gould has officially confirmed that Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul will reprise their roles as Walter White and Jesse Pinkman in the spinoff's final season.

As reported by Variety, Gould announced the news at PaleyFestLA at the Better Call Saul panel, but shared little else as to how they will make their return.

"I don’t want to spoil things for the audience, but I will say the first question we had when we started the show was, ‘Are we gonna see Walt and Jesse on the show?’ Instead of evading, I’ll just say yeah,” Gould said. “How or the circumstances or anything, you’ll just have to discover that for yourself, but I have to say that’s one of many things that I think you’ll discover this season.”

Bob Odenkirk, the actor who plays the titular Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman, attempted to tease more by saying, "if you can believe it, there's more." Unfortunately for those who can't wait any longer, Gould cut him off before he could reveal too much.

Odenkirk did, however, say that the two shows are even more "entwined" in this final season and that fans will most likely want to rewatch Breaking Bad once Better Call Saul has ended.

"I personally feel that the two shows — ‘Breaking Bad’ and ‘Better Call Saul’ — are entwined even more than ever in the final season," Odenkirk said. "And I think that’s surprising and cool, and it’s gonna make you want to watch ‘Breaking Bad’ again.”

Better Call Saul co-creator and Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan also confirmed the news, saying it would be a "damn shame" if these two characters didn't show up.

"These two worlds cross over in a way that you haven’t seen before, that’s for sure,” Gilligan said. “It would be a damn shame if the show ended without [Cranston and Paul] appearing, would it not?”

Better Call Saul has featured many characters from Breaking Bad, including Hector Salamanca, Don Eladio, the Salamanca twins, Hank Schrader, Steven Gomez, Gus Fring, and Mike Ehrmantraut. While not everyone made it to the end of Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul is a prequel story and allowed for fan favorites to get more screen time.

Better Call Saul's sixth and final season has already begun and it will conclude in the second part of the season that begins on July 11.

In our review of the first two episodes of Better Call Saul's final season, we said that it "picks right up where it left off as Saul Goodman’s origin story continues to build and the stakes get more dire for everyone in his orbit."

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has not only won the domestic weekend box office with ticket sales of $71 million, but it also had the best opening weekend of any video game movie ever.

As reported by Variety, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 surpassed the record of $58 million set by 2020's Sonic the Hedgehog. The original opened during the President's Day weekend, and the sequel even beat the four-day total of $70 million the first film had.

Internationally, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 earned $37 million to help boost its global total to $141 million. Sonic 2 cost $90 million to produce, and its performance so far should be encouraging for the studio.

In our Sonic the Hedgehog 2 review, we said that it "brings all the humor and charm of its predecessor, while also being delightfully more loyal to its source material."

Morbius placed second by earning $10.2 million, but it also had a drastic drop of 74% from its opening weekend. After two weeks, Morbius has brought in $57 million in North America and $69.2 million internationally.

Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum's The Lost City placed third by earning $9.1 million, holding off newcomer Ambulance and its ticket sales of $8.7 million in the process. Ambulance, which stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and Eiza Gonzalez, cost $40 million to produce. The Lost City has earned $68.8 million domestically, which is a good sign as it cost $68 million to produce.

Rounding out the top five was The Batman, as it brought in $6.5 million ahead of its arrival on HBO Max on April 19. The Batman has grossed $358 million domestically and $376 million overseas, making its global tally $735 million.

Vin Diesel has confirmed that Captain Marvel's Brie Larson has officially joined the cast of Fast & Furious 10.

Diesel shared the news on his Instagram with a picture of him and Larson smiling alongside the words, "welcome to the FAMILY Brie."

"Yeah yeah yeah… you see this angel over my shoulder cracking me up, you say to your self 'that’s captain Marvel,'" Diesel wrote. "Clearly there is love and laughter in this image. What you don’t see however, is the character you will be introduced to in Fast10.

"You have no idea how timeless and amazing she will be in our mythology. Beyond her beauty, her intellect… her Oscar, haha is this profound soul who will add something you might not have expected but yearned for. Welcome to the FAMILY Brie."

Larson will be a newcomer to the franchise and will join Aquaman's Jason Momoa, who is set to play the film's villain, and The Suicide Squad's Daniela Melchior.

Larson will not, however, be starring alongside Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, as the star who plays Luke Hobbs recently declined Diesel's invitation to rejoin the series after a feud began between the two in 2016.

Fast & Furious 10 will serve as the first half of a two-part finale for the series, and it is set to speed into theaters on May 19, 2023.

Larson will be returning as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel in 2023's The Marvels.

Kingdom Hearts 4 and Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link were officially announced at the series' 20th anniversary event.

While no platforms or release date/window for Kingdom Hearts 4 was revealed, we do get a glimpse of Sora in the new world of Quadratum, a quick look at gameplay, and an ending tease complete with Donald and Goofy.

The footage we were given shows an artstyle that very much resembles the previous games, but it has a much more realistic look this time around. Square Enix has also confirmed that the game is in "early development," so the wait may be a tough one.

Here's a look at the future of the Kingdom Hearts series, just revealed at the 20th Anniversary Event held in Tokyo. #KH20th pic.twitter.com/WkmknaMcqO

— KINGDOM HEARTS (@KINGDOMHEARTS) April 10, 2022

The trailer begins by saying this is the "Lost Master Arc," with narration saying, "if this isn't the ending you desired - if it brings your despair - then leave this world for another." The footage begins in a forest and then transisitions to a large city.

Sora is also seen waking up in an apartment, and we are then introduced to Strelitzia, a character that first appears in Kingdom Hearts Union χ.

While all seems peaceful for a moment, a threat manifests in the sky the resembles a massive heartless.

In the quick tease of gameplay, we see Sora and his iconic keyblade flying through the sky, climbing buildings, surfing on the walls, and even using his weapon as a grappling hook of sorts.

Donald and Goofy appear at the end without Sora, and they look to be on the search for their friend, as Donald asks, "I wonder where he is?" Then, a mysterious figure off-screen startles them by saying, "Hey! Just where do you think you're going?" Donald and Goofy scream in shock and the video cuts to black with the phrase, "Magic in the Making."

Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link is a new iOS/Android game that features 3D action familiar to the mainline entries and a closed beta test is planned for later in 2022. It is set in the realm of Scala ad Caelum and will allow players to "engage in exhilarating battles against the Heartless and discover a new, original story."

It was also announced that the final chapter of Kingdom Hearts Dark Road will be released in August 2022 as a free update to the Kingdom Hearts Union χ Dark Road app.

Jurassic World Dominion director Colin Trevorrow has teased that the Giganotosaurus - the film's antagonistic dinosaur - was created to be "like the Joker."

Speaking to Empire, Trevorrow shared a bit about the Giganotosaurus a.k.a. Giga, which is actually a real dinosaur and not a genetic hybrid like Jurassic World's Indominus or Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom's Indoraptor.

"I wanted something that felt like the Joker," Trevorrow said. "It just wants to watch the world burn."

To help highlight his point, Trevorrow and the team shared an image with Empire that shows the fearsome dinosaur and some of film's heroes.

The Giga is from the amber-rich BioSyn Valley, and BioSyn is the longtime rival to InGen who used Wayne Knight's Dennis Nedry to steal embryos many years before.

“BioSyn got the contract to house the dinosaurs that have been captured around the world via various governments,” Trevorrow said. “They claim it’s a research facility where they can study the pharmaceutical values of the animals. But there’s some other stuff going on.”

One of the BioSyn employees that will be featured in Jurassic World Dominion is Mamoudou Athie's Ramsay Cole, a "very ambitious and forward-thinking young man."

When Jurassic World Dominion arrives in theaters on June 10, it will be a much different film than previous entries, and it will be one Trevorrow has been waiting for so long to bring to life.

"It’s an entirely new kind of movie,” Trevorrow promises. “It’s the thing I’ve been waiting to do this whole time.”

The third Jurassic World film will complete the latest trilogy, but it won't end the dino franchise. It will also feature more animatronic dinosaurs and practical effects than the other two Jurassic World movies and will see the return of original Jurassic Park stars Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse co-director Peter Ramsey is set to travel to that galaxy far, far away to direct at least one episode of the upcoming Star Wars series Ahsoka.

As reported by THR, Ramsey, who was the first Black filmmaker to win an animated feature Oscar, will be one of the directors of the series that will begin shooting in Los Angeles later this month. Ahsoka's additional directors and its episode count have yet to be revealed.

Ahsoka will star Rosario Dawson, the actress that brought the Togruta who walked away from the Jedi Order to live-action after she was first introduced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. While Ashley Eckstein lent her voice to Ahsoka in the animated series, Dawson has been bringing her to life in the live-action space since Chapter 13 of The Mandalorian.

Joining Dawson will be Hayden Christensen, Ray Stevenson, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Ivanna Sakhno, and Natasha Liu Bordizzo.

Ahsoka co-creator Dave Filoni will be writing the series and has revealed that he's had the idea for a standalone series based around the character for a "long time."

While we may still have to wait a bit for Ahsoka, Disney+'s Obi-Wan Kenobi series is just around the corner. On May 27, the first two episodes of the series will premiere and will tell a story that is set 10 years after the events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.

Everything Everywhere All at Once star Ke Huy Quan has said he would "absolutely" want to do another Indiana Jones movie.

Quan played Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom when he was a kid and would continue acting in such films as The Goonies as Data before retiring from acting to become a fight choreographer and assistant director. With Everything Everywhere All at Once, he is once again back in front of the camera.

As reported by The A.V. Club, Quan participated in a Reddit AMA to help promote Everything Everywhere All at Once and was asked if he would "appear in another Indiana Jones film if asked."

"YES! Absolutely to more Indiana Jones movies. Haha," Quan wrote.

Nearly 14 years after Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull premiered in theaters, Indiana Jones 5 completed filming in February 2022. We don't know much about the film yet, or if Quan will be returning, but it does have a theatrical release date of June 30, 2023.

In our review of Everything Everywhere All at Once, we said that it "changes the game for what cinematic multiverses can be, with thrilling action, excellent performances, and a world of possibilities."

For more, check out why Crazy Rich Asians inspired Quan to return to acting and why Everything Everywhere All at Once is a true multiverse of madness.

But oh, did someone mention pizza?

Written by W.W. Marplot, Space Story promises a Monty Python meets Hitchhiker's Guide comedic adventure as, according to the book’s logline, “Kay becomes an important prophetess, and Bobby an accidental, mythical deity, within the eyes of both their oddly constructed new friends and some very ambitious enemies.”

According to Waxing Gibbous Books, Welkin Westicotter Marplot, of Coillemuir, Scotland, "is a curator and collector of ancient manuscripts, stories, and sources of hidden wisdom.

Despite a somewhat rocky start with sales, Guardians of the Galaxy developer Eidos Montreal is confident the game is still a "great ride."

In the wake of the game’s 2021 release, Square Enix initially stated that Guardians of the Galaxy’s sales had underperformed. Thanks to numerous award nominations, discounts, and its inclusion on Xbox’s Game Pass, however, its sales have improved since its release.

In the meantime, it has benefited from positive word-of-mouth, and Eidos Montreal stands by the game's quality overall.

"I have no regrets," Guardians of the Galaxy senior creative director Jean-Francois Dugas told Eurogamer. "We did everything we could but that's the reality of the market... And let's not forget it's a new IP. Even though we say all 'Guardians [of the Galaxy] are known', it's still a new IP [in the video game market]. It could be a lot of people don't even know that the game is out yet, or they're not sure exactly what it is."

While Guardians of the Galaxy might have kicked off with low sales by Square Enix’s standards, it was still a critically successful game, amassing positive reviews thanks to its intriguing campaign. Ultimately, it performed much better than its Marvel-inspired sibling, Crystal Dynamics’ Avengers, which we ranked lower for its heavy focus on loot-based mechanics.

We wrote in our review that it "nicely balances a goofy, action-filled adventure with some genuinely heartfelt moments" while praising it as what a "linear, no-frills, single-player campaign should be."

HBO Max is adding another live-action DC series to its upcoming slate. According to Variety, the series will serve as an origin story for the Jackson Hyde version of Aqualad.

Variety reports that the series is specifically based on the 2020 graphic novel You Brought Me the Ocean, from writer Alex Sanchez and artist Julie Maroh. That book casts Jackson "Jake" Hyde as a land-locked teenager living in New Mexico coming to terms with his father's death, his sexuality and his strange fascination with the ocean. The book also introduces Jake's boyfriend, swim team captain Kenny Liu.

No writers or actors have been announced for the series yet. It's also unclear whether the series is connected to the DCEU and James Wan's Aquaman movies. However, Variety reports that Charlize Theron will executive produce the series alongside A.J. Dix, Beth Kono, and Andrew Haas of Denver & Delilah Films.

The Jackson Hyde Aqualad originally debuted in both comic book and animated forms in 2010. He was created by Brandon Vietti, Greg Weisman and Phil Bourassa for the animated series Young Justice (where he's known by his Atlantean name Kaldur'ahm). Similar to the Barbara Gordon version of Batgirl, DC Comics introduced its version of the new Aqualad a few months ahead of the show's debut, with Jackson making his first appearance in Brightest Day #4.

This series will mark the first time Jackson Hyde has appeared in a live-action DC project. Previously, Drew Van Acker played the Garth version of Aqualad in an episode of Titans: Season 2.

HBO Max recently wrapped up the fourth season of Young Justice. While a Season 5 has yet to be confirmed, DC Comics will publish a digital-first series called Young Justice: Targets set after the Season 4 finale.

As for Aquaman himself, Jason Momoa will reprise the role in the upcoming Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Unfortunately, that sequel was one of several DC movies delayed by Warner Bros, with the release date shifting to March 2023. Be sure to brush up on every DC movie and series currently in development.
