Knives Out 2 has a layered name, Miles Morales has a new foe, Lady Gaga is in talks to play Harley Quinn, and more in Link Tank!
The title of Rian Johnson’s sequel to Knives Out has been revealed, and it’s giving us Shrek vibes.
“In Rian Johnson’s whodunnit Knives Out, a metaphorical donut and donut hole lay out the mystery. For the film’s sequel, another food will guide the way: The multilayered onion. That’s right, the title for Benoit Blanc’s next adventure is Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.”
The main villain of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has been revealed, and it’s a deeper cut into Marvel comics lore than we expected.

Lada Gaga is in early talks to star as Harley Quinn in the sequel to Joker.
“This is, to use the most obvious phrase on the table, not a joke: according to a new report, Oscar-winning singer-turned-actress Lady Gaga is in early negotiations to co-star as Harley Quinn opposite Joaquin Phoenix (also an Oscar winner) in DC Comics and Todd Phillips’ Joker sequel, recently announced to be titled Joker: Folie à deux. Which is apparently a musical!”

According to a leak, Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine will appear in the upcoming Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

While Murphy did not reveal which Wakanda Forever character Valentina will attempt to snag, the leaker did hint in a response to a fan’s tweet that it will not be a resurrected version of Michael B. Jordan’s Erik Killmonger.”

“Life should have been good for Miami Vice’s Philip Michael Thomas in 1985. He was the star of one of television’s biggest hits, had released his first album as part of a multimillion-dollar deal with Atlantic Records, and was making a name for himself in the fashion world (or at least trying to) with his very own women’s clothing line. But Thomas still had loftier goals, both in mind and on the gold medallion he was so fond of wearing. That dream was an EGOT.”
