As far as we're concerned, any Spider-Man news is worth throwing your hands in the air for. But the most recent casting announcement for Destin Daniel Cretton's upcoming Spidey fourquel Spider-Man: Brand New Day doesn't just have us throwing our hands up, it has us shouting "Hands!" too. And that's because, per Deadline's reporting, Liza Colón-Zayas — aka The Bear's formidable line cook Tina Marrero — has joined the cast for the return of Tom Holland's beloved friendly neighbourhod.

Such comparisons to The Last Of Us were always a bit unfair for Bend Studio's post-apocalyptic outing, but were unavoidable back in 2019, and still feel so now.
PI Margaret Qualley Investigates Cultist Chris Evans In Ethan Coen's Latest

1 week ago | empireonline.com | Jordan King

While the Joel side of the Coen Brothers directorial coin mounted a prestige cinematic treatment of The Tragedy Of Macbeth for his first solo outing, brother Ethan's first feature Coen Brother joint, Drive-Away Dolls, was an altogether wilder affair — a Margaret Qualley led lesbian road movie filled with dildos and double-crosses galore. And if the first trailer for EC's sophomore solo feature HONEY DON'T! (his caps, not ours) is anything to go by, then a similarly riotous caper awaits.
