Hercules
During a recent appearance at the Red Sea International Film Festival in Saudi Arabia (via Screen Daily), Guy Ritchie revealed he’d like to direct Disney’s live-action Hercules sometime “within the next year”:
I want to be as busy as I fucking can [be]. I used to make one movie a year; I’d quite like to make three movies a year. Because I like it, it’s not hard work for me. Even coming here, we wrapped filming at 04.30, you’re on a plane an hour later; you’re here, you start working, you go on a plane, I’ll land, I’ll go back to work. As long as you’re not playing with jet-lag too aggressively, I’m fucking happy doing that.

Daredevil: Born Again
Deadline reports Michael Gandolfini has joined the cast of Daredevil: Born Again in a currently undisclosed role. However, the outlet suggests “it’s possible he plays an ambitious guy from Staten Island referred to as Liam.”
Loki
Deadlinealso reports Kate Dickey (Game of Thrones’ Lysa Arryn) has joined the second season of Loki in an undisclosed villain role.
Moonhaven
According to Deadline, AMC+ has “reversed its decision” to renew Moonhaven for a second season.
Star Wars: The Acolyte
In conversation with TechRadar, star Dafne Keen confirmed The Acolyte will be Star Wars’ first ever “Sith-led” TV series.
I can tease that it’s a prequel. No, I mean, as you know, it’s set 100 years before the prequel movies, and it’s kind of an explanation of how the Sith infiltrated the Jedi. It’s a Sith-led story, which has never been done before.
The Sandman
Neil Gaiman also promised The Sandman’s second season will introduce additional members of The Endless in a new video for Netflix Brazil.
