Diving deep into what Marvel fans can expect from X-Men 97, the cast of the animated Disney Plus series sit down with Akeem Lawanson and IGN. Cal Dodd (original voice of “Wolverine”), Lenore Zann (original voice of “Rogue”), Holly Chou (the new voice of “Jubilee”), A.J. LoCascio (the new voice of “Gambit”), and Ray Chase (the new voice of “Cyclops”) discuss what it feels like to see the return of the series, the challenges they faced, and the attraction of the original X-Men animated series.

Adult Swim SVP of Creative Jacob Escobedo spoke with IndieWire about the network's latest April Fool's Day stunt and his ongoing commitment to handmade art.

“The overall idea was there would be a progression, a kind of stepping down in quality of puppets over the course of the night,” Escobedo told IndieWire over Zoom after the surprise episodes aired. “So it kind of started off with a bang with these felted Muppet-style puppets for the first episode. The second was more of a sock puppet with live action characters, and the third was our handmade papier-mâché puppets that we hand-puppeted ourselves.”

“We sat in a room and ordered a shit ton of art supplies and sat in there for weeks and just made ourselves laugh,” he said. “What’s funny is, when we first set out to do it we were like ‘Everybody, you need to make really shitty puppets.’ And we have a lot of creative people who just couldn’t make shitty puppets. All the puppets turned out really incredibly, so our original concept of stepping down the quality of the puppets didn’t really take because the in-house team did such a good job.”

Westworld creator Jonathan Nolan’s new show keeps Fallout’s gallows humor. He also packed the first season because “you have to be careful not to leave too much down the road.”

Amazon’s Fallout show gets the postapocalyptic vibes exactly right

It’s Fallout’s jokes, rather than its plot, that make it one of the most faithful — and best — video game adaptations.

He's not alone anymore. Joker: Folie à Deux – only in theaters and IMAX, October 4.

Westworld co-creator Jonathan Nolan has vowed to "finish the story" he had planned before HBO abruptly cancelled the series.

Nolan, who created the show with his spouse, Lisa Joy, told The Hollywood Reporter he is "100 percent" committed to giving Westworld a proper ending to allow fans to find closure after the fourth season finale, "Que Será, Será," ended up being the last anyone saw of the series, as HBO pulled the plug shortly after.

"We're completionists," Nolan said after being asked about the prospect of Westworld continuing. "It took me eight years and a change of director to get Interstellar made. We'd like to finish the story we started. I'm so f**king proud of what we made. It was an extraordinary experience. I think it would be a mistake to look back and only feel regret [over how it ended]. But there's still very much a desire to finish it."
