Charlie Cox Insists He Won’t Make Another ‘Spider-Man’ Appearance for ‘Brand New Day’

Tatiana Maslany and Tim Heidecker are teaming up for a new dystopian satire series. Matt Duffer says not to expect Eddie Munson back in Stranger Things‘ final season. Plus, Ryan Coogler discusses who he’s really rebooting The X-Files for. Spoilers get!

The Comedy Hour

Deadline reports Tatiana Maslany and Tim Heidecker are attached to star in The Comedy Hour, a “late-night-themed dystopian satire” from director Colby Day. Set “five minutes into the future when modern America is on the brink of collapse,” the story will see Heidecker as Jimmy, “a late-night talk show host forced to produce his show through famine, fire, and plague. When the network assigns him a robot to be his co-host and help boost ratings, everyone in America loves the robot more than him. Maslany will play Priya, a corporate climber and Jimmy’s long-time producer.”

Spider-Man: Brand New Day

During his recent appearance on the Phase Hero podcast, Charlie Cox suggested he’s not in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, after all.

I know they all think I’m in Spider-Man because I’m filming something in London, which I’m not, I’m not in Spider-Man.

It Follows 2

According to Maika Monroe, the script for It Follows 2 is “incredible” and “very different from the original,” and filming could begin next year.

I was sent the script and I thought it was incredible. It’s also very different from the original. I feel like the original, it’s like a little more heightened and dramatic, and this…I think it’s really quite grounded and just sort of follows the story of these two women who are mentally dealing with a lot. I thought it was a really interesting take on it.

Maika Monroe tells us that ‘IT FOLLOWS 2’ has an incredible script that will make fans very happy.

Decibel

A “tech-obsessed music producer” forces a struggling singer-songwriter to help her create “the perfect AI music algorithm” in the trailer for Decibel, a sci-fi/horror film coming to Apple TV and Fandango this November 7.

Gobblefoot

Elsewhere, a “professor of New England folklore” attributes a string of mutilation murders to “a mythical creature, half turkey, half Bigfoot” in the trailer for Gobblefoot. 

Stranger Things

Speaking to Empire, Matt Duffer also suggested Joseph Quinn does not return as the late Eddie Munson in season 5, despite recent comments from the actor.

I love that Joe Quinn is toying with people! But no, he’s dead. Joe is so busy, anyway, that everyone should know he’s not coming back. He’s shot like five movies since! When the hell has he got time to come and shoot Stranger Things? No, sadly, RIP. He’s fully under that ground.

The X-Files

Ryan Coogler would “neither confirm nor deny” casting Danielle Deadwyler in his upcoming X-Files reboot, but told Variety that he’s making the reboot for his mom.

Like my relationship with Rocky with my dad, The X-Files is one of those things with my mom. My mom means the world to me—she’s actually here tonight—so this is a big one for me. I want to do right by her and the fans. My mom has read some of the stuff I wrote for it. She’s fired up.

Crystal Lake

Filming has wrapped on Crystal Lake, according to showrunner Brad Caleb Kane on Instagram.

Ghosts
