Young and the Restless hot spoilers for next week include the reveal of where Diane Jenkins Abbott (Susan Walters) is and has been because it looks like she was definitely kidnapped. Plus, Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) is brutally injured while out of town. She’s literally squashed during a tornado.

There’s a lot to unpack in these brand new spoilers for the week of June 15th, including a big return of a fan favorite. A new character is on the scene that is tied to Diane. And there’s two medical crises affecting two different Newman ladies. So, let’s get right into it.

Y&R: Mariah’s Return and Jill Abbott Recast

So, as we wind up this week on Young and the Restless, we have a very excited Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) talking to Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes). She’s on a call from the psych hospital. And it looks like her recovery is going well. And if you remember, the last person who visited Mariah was actually a very angry Devon Hamilton Winters (Bryton James). But now, Sharon is telling Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) that Mariah could be released and could actually be back to Genoa City next week. So, yay on that return. and we will let you know when we have an air date for Cameron Grimes first appearance back on the scene as Mariah.

But that’s just one return. The other is a recast. We’ll talk about it in a second. So, right now, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) handed Chancellor over to Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) as promised as payment for her and the twins faked kidnapping. When she told Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) that she has Chancellor, well, he was excited. And of course, Billy immediately wanted to buy it from Lily. But she refused. And then when she said she appointed Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) to run it, that’s when Billy lost it. He is furious that Lily is trusting Cane more than she trusts him.

Young and Restless Spoilers: Lauren Koslow Temporarily Takes Over

And this ties into the big return that’s also a recast. So, there’s a Young and the Restless spoiler saying that there’s a surprising turn of events and that results in Billy getting some powerful information and then Cane and Lily work together to stop Billy from going after something he wants.

And we know what he wants. Generally, it’s about Chancellor. So, that may be tied into the return, which is Jill Abbott, who is coming back to Genoa City soon. But actress Jess Walton was unavailable to film. So instead, they brought in Days of Our Lives actress Lauren Koslow. So she stepped into the role. She first appears on June 25th, which is the same day that July Sweeps kicks off. She’ll be on as Jill for just five episodes. And I’m real curious to see what she thinks about Lily and Cane running Chancellor and Lily and Cane smooching and reconciling.

Y&R: Lily and Cane Heat Up at Crimson Lights

And next week in official Y&R spoilers, we’re going to get more of Lily getting much much closer to Cane. Things are sizzling between them. So Cane’s with Lily at Crimson Lights and things get really flirty between them and Cane’s telling her that they’re going to do great things together. Then he asked Lily to come closer so he can tell her something and it looks like he is smooching her across the table at the coffee shop.

Young and Restless: Nikki’s Health Crisis and Diane’s Disappearance

All right. Now, let’s talk about one of the two medical crises for a Newman lady. And then we’ll get into missing Diane. So, after bickering with Victor Newman about him giving Chancellor to Lily, we’re going to see Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) getting another of her really bad headaches on Friday. And she’s not going to give Victor much info when he starts asking about her health.

And then next week, Young and the Restless spoilers say things get a lot worse when Nikki’s vision seems to be deteriorating. So, her vision’s going. Clearly, there’s something going on with the blood vessels in her brain, which lead to the blood vessels in your eyes. So, this may be tied to her MS. But it’s not the MS itself because actress Melody Thomas Scott said this is a new thing. She says she’s never played somebody with this medical issue. And it’s going to get scary very fast for Nikki.

She’s going to have to make some big decisions fast about her medical condition while continuing to hide things from Victor because it looks like Nikki doesn’t want Victor coming back to her just because she’s sick.

All right, now let’s talk about Diane in Genoa City Time. She is still missing and Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) and Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) are worried sick. But over on Beyond the Gates on the crossover, Diane is at a fundraiser with Jack and Kyle. They are all together, all smiles, all happy as a family. This was very poorly coordinated between Young and the Restless and Beyond the Gates because things are out of alignment.

Y&R: Jack Confronts Patty About Diane

So, next week we’ve got big action with both Jack and Diane back in Genoa City. We’re going to see Jack who’s with his sister Tracy and they run into Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk) at The Overlook Cafe. And when she sees Jack, we’ve got Patty saying that he looks really tired. Well, part of that’s because he just went through this whole tornado ordeal on another soap.

So, Jack’s annoyed and he snaps at Patty that his wife is missing. then she taunts Jack and asks if Diane is even still his wife. And then Jack loses it and he’s yelling at Patty, “Cut the crap.” And he demands to know where is she. So clearly Jack suspects that Patty had a hand in Diane going missing. And I wouldn’t be surprised one bit if Patty is involved.

Young and Restless Spoilers: Diane’s Been MIA

So, if you think back, the last time we saw Diane on Y&R, it was May 14th. And that was when she left Jack that voicemail saying she’s still hurt and angry and confused. But Diane’s message to Jack said she wanted to find a way to move forward. Diane also said in the message, “I love you, Jack, and I know that you love me.”

But it kind of doesn’t look like Diane’s message made it to Jack, at least not that he’s mentioned. And it looks like we get a glimpse of Diane on Monday’s Young and the Restless. So, she’s at some type of cabin or small house and it looks like there are bars on the window and she seems really out of it. So, I’m going to bet that either Patty took Diane or maybe Victor, you know, was conspiring with Patty to finish wrecking Jack and Diane’s marriage and he asked her to kidnap Jack’s wife.

Y&R: A New Character and Diane’s Rescue

So, on Monday, we have a doctor involved. We’re going to see great actor Jere Burns as Dr. Lawrence Markham in scenes with Diane on Monday. So, this could be a shady doctor who is keeping her drugged for Patty or maybe Diane is saved on Monday and that’s a doctor over at Genoa City Memorial Hospital. We’ll just have to wait and see. But it looks like Jack is going to get Diane back very soon.

Now, to the other medical emergency for Newman. There’s a tornado on the Beyond the Gates crossover and Victor left the event right after the speech knowing a big storm was coming without offering anybody else a ride out of town. His daughter Abby is there with Devon and Jack and Kyle and Diane. And so on the Thursday episode of Beyond the Gates after the tornado hits the Fairmont Crest country club, there’s this giant crystal chandelier and it crashes down right on top of Abby and squishes her.

I saw an interview with Eric Braeden saying everybody survived, so I’m assuming the chandelier doesn’t kill Abby or he forgot that Victor has another daughter. You know, he doesn’t spend a lot of time with her. But it might put a real scare into her, you know, cuz crystal chandelier squishing is pretty high stress. So, I also wonder if Jack might help dig out Abby and then Victor winds up owing Jack for saving somebody else in his family. However, I doubt that would stop Victor from hating on him.

Shawn Hatosy can confirm that production on The Pitt season 3 is nearly underway.

“We’re gonna start filming next week,” Hatosy, 50, said during his Thursday, June 11, appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “I can say that people will be surprised how we begin. That’s about all I can say.”

Hatosy made his debut as Dr. Jack Abbot in the opening shot of The Pitt’s first season, which premiered on HBO in January 2025.

“I’m a guest star in the first episode and I had no clue [it would blow up],” Hatosy said on Thursday. “I show up for two minutes and then I, kind of, disappear.”

Hatosy’s return later on in the season turned him into a breakout star as fans became obsessed with his dry humor and the way he flirts with everyone in the emergency department (literally). The role secured Hatosy a 2025 Emmy Award win for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series.

“It’s very unexpected but very cool. People on the internet say I’m cool,” Hatosy told host Jimmy Fallon. “My kids still think I’m a dork though, no matter what.”

Hatosy shares three sons — Jordan, 19, Leo, 13, and Finn, 8 — with wife Kelly Albanese, whom he’s been married to since 2010.

Aside from his acting on The Pitt, Hatosy also got a chance to direct the ninth episode of the show’s second season. The actor told Fallon, 51, on Thursday that he’ll be pulling double duty once again.

“I found out I’m gonna be directing in season 3,” Hatosy gushed. “Very cool.”

Hatosy confirmed to Us Weekly exclusively late last month that he would be returning for The Pitt season 3 despite several cast exits.

“We start in a couple weeks and I haven’t even read the episode,” he said during an interview on May 31. “It hasn’t been sent, but I know that I’m going back.”

Thank You!

He quipped, “That place wouldn’t function that night without Abbot.”

Speaking of the night shift, Us would be remiss not to ask about the potential spinoff series that fans are foaming at the mouth for.

“I think it’s a no-brainer. Obviously, I don’t want to dilute or take anything away from what’s happening on The Pitt, but you know that there are wonderful characters,” Hatosy told Us. “There’s a whole other universe in the night. There’s a tone shift.”

Sometimes it feels like the blockbuster comedy has gone the way of Blockbuster video, and we never get any new laugh-riot movies in theaters anymore. Comedy fans have been whining about the lack of fun, lighthearted joke vehicles for years, and yearning for the days of simple chuckle-fests like Step Brothers, The Hangover, and 21 Jump Street. Now, according to Variety, you and all your comedy-loving friends can pump your fists with glee, because 24 Jump Street is officially in the works.

Franchise leads Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, and rap legend Ice Cube are each in talks to reprise their roles, with Phil Lord and Chris Miller attached to produce. Jonah Hill also co-authored the screenplay for the film alongside Meghan Malloy, so it seems pretty likely that he’ll agree to return. Rodney Rothman, who co-wrote and co-directed Spider-Man: Into The Spiderverse will serve as the film’s director. For now, there’s no word on the plot, but we can assume that it centers on detectives Schmidt and Jenko going undercover in some completely off-the-walls environment.

The Crossover That Never Happened

For those who don’t recall, 21 Jump Street was an absolutely hilarious R-rated buddy cop comedy that released in 2012. The film’s frenetic energy, off-the-walls writing, and top-shelf performances from Hill, Tatum, and Ice Cube made it a genre-defining classic. Then, in 2014, the sequel 22 Jump Street took the insanity even further, cementing the franchise as a go-to theater watch. While fans were more than happy to keep spending money on the film franchise, things kind of stalled out shortly after 22 Jump Street‘s release, thanks to some behind the scenes Hollywood meddling.

23 Jump Street was reportedly meant to crossover with the Men In Black franchise, jumpstarting a comedic cinematic universe of drug dealing teens and undercover extraterrestrials. The script for that film bounced around Hollywood for over a decade, while Sony was busy fumbling Men In Black into relative obscurity. It’s a real shame, because the Jump Street movies obviously had a ton of pull among comedy fans, and Channing Tatum apparently called the crossover script “the best script that I’ve ever read for a third movie.”

The Blockbuster Comedy Is Back

Now that it’s been three presidential terms since the last Jump Street film released, most fans had quietly accepted that the fun was over, and returned to their miserable lives. That is, until this week, when producer Neal H. Moritz shared a photo of the 24 Jump Street cover page on social media, thus confirming that the boys are back in town. For now, there’s no word on a production schedule or a projected release date, but comedy fans everywhere are surely frothing at the mouth to learn more.

With any luck, the release of 24 Jump Street could spark a domino effect, leading to a resurgence of blockbuster comedies. If not, it will be worth it just to see our beloved baby-faced idiot cops again, in yet another hilarious misadventure.

General Hospital brings high-profile arrest coming at the end of this week on GH. And it may be Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) who is in handcuffs thanks to Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard). If Tracy is the one that Chase arrests, he may wind up in trouble both at work and at home.

We’re going to get into what Tracy does to aggravate Chase into possibly arresting her and whether any charges will stick along with how this messy family drama and how it will affect Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton), Chase, Tracy, and others.

General Hospital: Identifying the High-Profile Arrest

All right. So, we’ve been waiting all week long to see who is the high-profile arrest that Chase makes because honestly, there’s so many storylines to choose from that could have an arrest in it right now. Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) was already arrested for putting three bullets into Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) or trying to if not for the bulletproof vest that he was in. But of course, Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey) drove Sidwell to the PCPD.

But stopped along the way and staged an escape, including letting Sidwell pistol whip him to make it look authentic. That way, Cassius could say he was assaulted by Sidwell’s thugs, which is ironic since Cassius is one of Sidwell’s thugs. And now we’ve got Jenz in hiding, and I doubt he’s going to turn up by Friday to be arrested. So, Chase probably isn’t going to arrest Sidwell again.

And then there’s the second person that people were hoping to see arrested. That’s Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen). Everybody’s hoping that she’ll be busted for drugging Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) after shooting him. And of course, Willow can’t be charged again with shooting Drew, but she could be charged with spousal abuse, false imprisonment, domestic violence, other charges. Willow drugging and keeping her husband, Drew, her prisoner, is all kinds of criminal.

Willow Gets the Upper Hand on GH

However, Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) just offered Willow a deal to give her proof that Drew misused campaign funds. So, if Drew doesn’t keep quiet about Willow, then Drew himself may face arrest. However, it also seems way too fast for either Willow or Drew to be arrested over any of that.

And we know that Brook Lynn is conspiring with Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) to make it look like Willow was the other driver that Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) ran off the road. the person that Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) is trying to blame for Jordan’s facial injuries. Well, we all know it was her and Curtis’s fault.

Jordan was driving down a windy, hilly road on a dark night and then decided to take her eyes off the road to make out with Curtis and drove into oncoming traffic. Rather than owning their stupidity, he’s blaming Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson). But I don’t think that the doctor is going to be the one arrested because there’s just no proof. And Curtis already was cuffed. And despite Brooklyn plotting to ruin Willow, I doubt she or Lucy could trump up evidence that would be enough to get Willow arrested. So, I tend to think none of them are the arrest.

General Hospital: Tracy Quartermaine – The High-Profile Arrest

And yes, I would love to see Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) in handcuffs, but I don’t think there’s time for anyone to get the goods on him between now and Friday. And by the way, the episode hasn’t aired at the time that I’m doing this video. So, big question. Who’s the high-profile arrest that Chase makes? I suspect it may be Tracy Quartermaine, but not like off a warrant or something. I suspect Chase sees Tracy doing something illegal and arrest her on the spot because he witnesses it.

So, official General Hospital spoilers have three tidbits related to this storyline for Friday. One says Tracy has harsh words for Willow. Another has Brook Lynn going to Sonny for help. And the third is that Chase makes that high-profile arrest. But it looks like Tracy does more than just say harsh words.

She suspects that Willow and Chase are cheating. And Tracy even told Chase to pack his bags and get out of her house. But Brook Lynn got Tracy to back down. She doesn’t think Chase is the one in the wrong. Brook Lynn thinks Willow is out to seduce Chase. Kind of fair because Willow is a serial cheater who then tries to play like she’s an innocent good girl. But Tracy thinks that Chase and Willow are equally to blame and that they’re both trying to hurt Brook Lynn.

Tracy Loses It on Willow

So, Tracy’s yelling at Willow and at the end of this week she’s screaming for her to stay away from my family. Words are one thing, but then Tracy grabs Willow and starts shaking her. And when Tracy grabs her and yells, Willow looks really alarmed. And it looks like this happens down at the boat house by the lake on the Quartermaine property. So I suspect that Chase sees Tracy manhandling Willow and he snaps. Chase may arrest Tracy on the spot for assault. Not only because she laid hands on Willow, but also because Chase is really ticked off that Tracy accused him of cheating and then blabbed the same thing to Brook Lynn.

And we all know Chase is not a cheater, but he is a sucker because Willow has him fooled. So, if Chase does arrest Tracy, it explains why he’s getting chewed out by DA Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor) on Friday. She tells Chase if he puts one toe out of line, then he is gone. But you know what? He doesn’t work for Justine.

He works for police commissioner Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna). And that’s still complicated because both Chase and Dante live on the Quartermaine estate, which Tracy now owns. I’m thinking that Chase is going to decide pretty soon they just need to move off the property. He may want to take baby Phoebe and Brook Lynn and just go because Tracy is getting more aggressive by the day.

General Hospital: The Fallout and Marriage on the Brink

And if Chase’s high-profile arrest is Tracy, I would also expect for Brook Lynn to double down on ruining Willow’s reputation to put an end to all this. And this may be why Brook Lynn goes to Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). She may want some help fabricating evidence to smear Willow.

Even though whatever they put together, you know, wouldn’t be enough to get the congresswoman arrested. Still, I don’t know if Sonny will help or not. He kept telling his son Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) to back off his anti-Willow plots. So, I just feel like Sonny might tell Brook Lynn the same thing. Have faith in your husband. Don’t do this. You know, plus once Chase finds out Brook Lynn was setting up Willow to be accused of something that Brook Lynn herself really did, I think that’s going to go badly for Chase’s wife. He’s going to be upset for a couple of reasons.

General Hospital: Chase Blinded by Willow

First, because he thinks that Willow is some sort of angel on Earth, which is nuts. Second, Chase won’t like that Brook Lynn was the other driver in the Jordan crash and failed to come forward and identify herself at the time even though she wasn’t at fault and did nothing criminal in the wreck. Third, for Brook Lynn to not come forward and then to try and pin being the other driver on Willow is probably way too much chicanery for Chase to tolerate.

So, what happens with Tracy and Willow could be the breaking point for Chase and Brook Lynn’s marriage. And if Chase arrests Tracy and she vents to Brook Lynn about it, I’m betting that she’ll tell Tracy it’s not Chase’s fault, it’s Willow’s fault, and that she’s got a plan to stop her. You know, Tracy may even then help Brook Lynn go after Willow, especially if Sonny refuses to participate in plotting with her.

Tracy’s GH Track Record

Now, to be fair, it wouldn’t be the first time Tracy’s been arrested by the PCPD. She’s been brought in several times for things that she’s done. But I bet she pitches a fit and tries to get Justine or Dante to fire Chase. But let’s be real, Tracy assaulting a member of Congress on Friday is problematic because if Willow’s security was with her, they would have knocked Tracy down to stop it.

I am actually looking forward to seeing who Chase arrests and seeing Tracy shake Willow like she’s a defective Etch A Sketch is going to be the best end to the week on General Hospital. I want to see her shaken and then arrested.

Tim Allen candidly weighed in on his age gap romance with Jenna Elfman on Shifting Gears — and recalled what concerns he initially had about the fictional relationship.

“The age difference is not much different than my wife and I,” Allen, 72, who has been married to wife Jane Hajduk since 2006, exclusively shared in Us Weekly‘s latest cover story.

Allen noted that his response to the age gap varies, adding, “It depends on the pictures. It gets creepy for me at a certain age [and] we’re right at that border. If Jenna didn’t look so damn nice than our age gap is not that much. I just let my hair go natural and she just looks — especially on camera — quite young.”

The actor noticed the difference when watching Matt and Eve’s scenes.

The Shifting Gears cast has had more success in their dating lives than their fictional counterparts. Shifting Gears, which premiered in January 2025, introduced Us to a car restoration shop opened by Tim Allen‘s character, Matt. After reuniting with his estranged daughter, Riley (Kat Dennings), the duo work on cars —and repairing their relationship. The […]

“They say when you’re lit better and I go, ‘When I’m lit better, I look probably 68,’” he quipped. “I just don’t want to be creepy about it — and that’s kind of the borderline image these days.”

Allen continued, “It hasn’t really come out — except when they joke about, ‘Well, a guy your age.’ When they have her making jokes about it, it’s not my preference. But I said, ‘It’s admitting what is there.’ There’s times — and I’ll give it to them — that they lit right and in the right clothing so it doesn’t look creepy.”

Shifting Gears introduced fans to Matt and Eve’s romance in season 1. The pair dated throughout the second season before calling it quits due to long distance. Matt and Eve — who have an age gap — found their way back to each other before season 2 concluded.

“Our showrunner [Michelle Nader] put this thing together and they really like the romance. I wanted a car show about a widower to deal with grief. That’s what I wanted,” Allen told Us. “I loved Kat Dennings [as my daughter] because she’s the perfect choice. That old dynamic is really where I was at.”

Allen chose to go with the flow when Elfman’s character was introduced, saying, “They threw this romance in there and I know Jenna so I said, ‘That’s not the problem. It’s just that I’m feeling way too old for her.’ Sometimes they say, ‘Visually it doesn’t look like you think it does.’”

After seeing the reception to the relationship, Allen is interested to see where the show takes the characters next.

“She’s so fun to be around and it’s brought out a whole different part of that show and brought a different audience to that show,” he continued. “I’m really out there for the car guys and I make sure the car stuff is fun and exciting. Then the office is cool and now you’ve got romance for the people that want that. Because it turns out the flirting and the actual activity between these two characters is working and I said, ‘All right, I’ll go there.’ [Jenna is] really good at this and the romance is kind of generated quite by accident.”

Allen promised that season 3 will continue to center around Matt and Eve.

“My question is — and we haven’t talked about it yet because we’ll start in late July to do our new season — is Jenna going to move in with me or am I going to move in with her [on the show]? I don’t know,” he noted. “I’d like to stretch it out where we’re just dating a little bit.”

He continued, “I said I don’t foresee it coming but [showrunner] Michelle [Nader] and her team surprised me again. I’m uncomfortable with it — because I’m a comedian — so I don’t know where this goes. It doesn’t matter, it’s working. It makes a dynamic sitcom move a little bit wider, definitely.”

Allen’s return to set will come after he wraps up promoting his return as the voice of Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story 5.

“It’s an amazing part of my life,” Allen said about the role, which he originated three decades prior. “Buzz has become such a part of me, and vice versa.”

Allen teased what fans can expect from the next chapter, which premieres in theaters on June 19, “When we did Toy Story 4, I said, ‘We need a little more Buzz in this.’ I was kidding, so it was very startling when I saw the storyboards. I said, ‘OK, you took that seriously.’”

He concluded, “It was very challenging to be that many Buzzes [in a toy cargo container], and then it got very confusing [as to] who’s talking to who, and I’m not sure exactly how they smoothed it out, but it was very funny to be part of that. … Essentially, it’s a story about a wonderful friendship. Kids recognize it, and adults recognize it, and they’ve added a whole color palette with the other toys, so it’s like a little community. I think [if it were with] stick figures, it would still be very popular.”

Shifting Gears is currently streaming on Hulu. Toy Story 5 premieres in theaters on June 19.

Younger fans won’t remember this, but there was a time when the most successful Marvel movies had nothing to do with superheroes. In the late ‘90s, for example, the first Men in Black kicked off an ultra-successful, buddy space cop franchise starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. Believe it or not, this was based on a comic franchise that Marvel obtained the rights to back in 1994. However, the late ‘90s also saw the cinematic introduction of another successful and much more recognizable Marvel hero: Blade! Thanks to a jaw-dropping performance from Wesley Snipes, Blade was stylishly hacking his way through theaters years before the X-Men or Spider-Man were.

Once the Marvel Cinematic Universe got off the ground, fans eagerly awaited the introduction of Blade. However, that wait is ongoing: despite obtaining the rights, developing multiple scripts, and casting Oscar-winning Mahershala Ali as the titular vampire, this character hasn’t seen the light of day in the MCU except for a voice recording in Eternals. Now, a trusted superhero scooper is claiming that we’ll finally see Ali’s Blade make his proper onscreen debut in Avengers: Secret Wars. However, between the actor’s age and the ongoing problem of superhero fatigue, it may be too late to finally bring Blade into the MCU.

Marvel Is Always Trying To Iceskate Uphill

Marvel Studios obtained the relevant rights to Blade way back in 2011. Why, then, haven’t we seen the character in the MCU yet? One reason is that it took a long time to figure out who should play the character. Wesley Snipes was very interested in reprising his role, but nothing happened after years of talks until he got to appear much later in Deadpool & Wolverine. Meanwhile, Luke Cage star Mahershala Ali was interested in the role, and after he earned a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Green Book, he pitched a Black Panther-style Blade movie to Marvel. He got hired, but his proposed movie has spent over half a decade in development hell.

In those years, there have been multiple Blade writers (including Stacy Osei-Kuffour and controversial X-Men ‘97 head writer Beau DeMayo) and multiple directors (including Bassam Tariq and Yann Demange). Several actors have been hired, but only Ali and Mia Goth remain nominally attached to the project. Early this years, reliable scooper Jeff Sneider reported that Marvel had canceled plans for a solo Blade movie altogether. But that doesn’t mean we’ll never see a proper MCU incarnation of the character. On Sneider’s The Hot Mic podcast, he recently reported that Ali’s Blade would appear in the upcoming ensemble blockbusters Avengers: Secret Wars.

The Sharpest Blade

It makes sense that Mahershala Ali’s Blade would pop up in Avengers: Secret Wars. Like the most recent comic of the same name, this movie is strongly rumored to reboot the MCU, which would allow for recasting key roles (like Captain America and Iron Man, both of which Kevin Feige has said would eventually be played by other actors). Perhaps more importantly, the reboot will allow major changes to this cinematic universe, like explaining why X-Men and other mutants are now a major force. The reboot might also properly introduce vampires into the MCU, which would pave the way for the introduction of Blade, the vampire who hunts his own kind. 

As a huge fan of the original Blade movies, I can’t help but think that Ali’s Blade popping up in Avengers: Secret Wars is too little, too late. For one thing, it’s a serious downgrade: fans have been hoping for a solo MCU Blade film for nearly two decades, and after fleshing out ideas for at least three movies, the best Marvel can do is give him a cameo in an already overcrowded film? Like, it was disappointing enough that all we got from Blade in Eternals was a voice message. Now, we’ll finally see him onscreen, but it will likely be a small cameo sandwiched somewhere between two dozen other, more established characters.

It’s All Falling Apart (Again)

Another problem is that this is set up for a payoff we’ll probably never get. Last year, Variety reported that Marvel execs had no sense of urgency to make a Blade movie because superhero fatigue had started eating into the studio’s bottom line. Obviously, Kevin Feige is hoping that Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars will make superhero fatigue a thing of the past. But what if that doesn’t pan out? They’ll be left with the same problem, introducing a new character whose eventual solo film may not be able to generate the kinds of box office Marvel is expecting.

Finally, the elephant in the room is Mahershala Ali’s age. He is 52, and if Jeff Sneider is correct about his upcoming Marvel appearance, the actor will be 54 by the time Secret Wars comes out. When Wesley Snipes first played Blade, he was 37; Ali is much older, and may have trouble pulling off the complex fight choreography the character is known for. Plus, Marvel famously likes to make its biggest actors sign 10-year contracts to appear in various sequels and spinoffs. So even if Ali is great in the role in a couple of years, it will get pretty awkward seeing him doing kung-fu vampire-slaying moves into his ‘60s.

But hey, I could be wrong about this. Audiences loved seeing the 55-year-old Hugh Jackman slash his way through Deadpool & Wolverine and are eager for him to return. Plus, when it comes to a character as cool as Blade, Marvel could do much worse than Ali, an Oscar-winning actor who always gives 110 percent to his performances. Maybe the stars will align, and I’ll finally get to see him headline his own Blade film. With any luck, that will happen before both of us are rocking AARP memberships!

After adult creator Bonnie Blue announced her pregnancy in February following an event where she was intimate with about 400 men, questions swirled about the paternity of her unborn child.

For three creators who were at events with Blue around that time period, the idea of becoming a father is something they are mulling over.

“I thought, ‘Oh gosh, I was actually there then,’” Jak White, who was involved in the influencer’s so-called “breeding mission,” exclusively told Us Weekly in February. “Like, ‘God, she’s actually got pregnant from it. Is it mine? Could it be mine? I don’t know.’ It’s kind of the question in my head now, like, ‘Oh gosh, I don’t know.’”

Creator Tommy Lee, who was present at one of Blue’s events about a week after her so-called “breeding” stunt, echoed White’s sentiment.

“I don’t think anything really sinks in until proven. But it’s still a big worry in the back of your mind, thinking about what do you do if it is,” Lee exclusively told Us earlier this month. “It’s not that I haven’t thought about it, I think about it, but you just don’t know what can you say? I don’t think there’s anything you can do. That’s it, really.”

Since Lee thinks there’s a chance he could be the father, he partook in Blue’s baby shower event earlier this month. (Lee also told Us that he was paid a “high amount” to participate in the event, but did not reveal the amount.)

“I got paid for this, yes, but this, but equally it was more of — obviously, because there’s a high chance that you’re the dad, sort of thing, I think you have to be there. I felt like I had to be at this one,” he explained of attending the event.

Fellow creator Owain Laing, meanwhile, quipped to Us that he’s waiting until the child is born to determine if there is a physical resemblance.

“I could be the dad,” he said. “If it comes out with a little beard and a mullet, then it’s definitely mine.”

Thank You!

Laing went on to note that he and his partner of three years haven’t discussed the possibility that he could be the father of Bonnie’s baby.

“We’ll find out,” he said to Us.

Hugh Jackman’s latest social media post sparked a fierce debate among fans after the actor proudly showcased his relationship with Sutton Foster at a New York movie premiere. 

While many supporters praised the couple’s happiness, others used the opportunity to revisit Jackman’s highly publicized split from Deborra-Lee Furness, turning what should have been a celebration of his new film into another flashpoint in the ongoing conversation surrounding his personal life.

Hugh Jackman took to Instagram on Thursday to mark the premiere of “The Death of Robin Hood” in New York City.

The actor shared a smiling photo alongside Foster outside AMC Lincoln Square 13, showing the couple appearing relaxed and happy ahead of the screening. 

Jackman wrapped an arm around Foster’s waist while she threw one arm into the air. “And we’re off to the premiere of Death of Robin Hood,” he captioned the image.

While the post was intended to celebrate the film’s launch, many followers immediately focused on the couple’s relationship. 

Jackman and Foster have been under public scrutiny since taking their romance public in January 2025.

The latest image quickly became a lightning rod for criticism, with numerous commenters bringing up Jackman’s split from Furness and questioning his new relationship.

Jackman Receives Harsh Criticism From Some Followers

Several social media users used the comments section to express their disappointment over the photo. 

“I feel bad for Deb, it’s so hard to see you posting all these pics, why not refrain from sticking it in her face,” one follower wrote. Another added, “This is so cringy. Trying to normalize what you did.” 

Others questioned the longevity of the relationship, while some claimed they no longer viewed Hugh Jackman in the same light after his marriage ended.

“Bro, stop posting pictures with her. Literally no one supports this relationship,” one user commented. Another person predicted, “I’m sure this will be over soon.”

One particularly blunt remark read, “My hubby of 40 years even said for the first time of any celebrity breakup that he would never, ever watch anything you are in again!”

Hugh Jackman Finds Support From Fans Defending His Romance

Not all of the responses were negative. Many followers rushed to support Jackman and Foster, arguing that the couple deserves happiness despite the criticism.

“I love that you two are together. Two of my Broadway faves – what could be better than that?!” one supporter wrote.

Another defended the relationship by saying, “Anyone complaining is just upset that soulmates aren’t a real thing.”

A third fan also shared, “You 2 are the loveliest pair. Best of luck with the movie. Would love to see the two of you in a movie together.”

Others encouraged Jackman to ignore the criticism and continue enjoying his relationship. “Everyone deserves happiness,” one fan commented. Another added, “Great to see you so happy. Don’t listen to the negative jealous people.”

Supporters pointed out that both stars built successful careers on Broadway and appeared to have formed a strong connection after working together professionally.

Jackman And Foster’s Met Gala Appearance Fueled Attention

The premiere photo arrived only weeks after another headline-making appearance by the couple. 

Last month, Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster attended the Met Gala together, making their debut as a couple at one of fashion’s biggest events.

The pair arrived hand in hand at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a move that drew significant attention because Jackman had previously attended several Met Galas with Deborra-Lee Furness during their marriage.

Their last appearance together at the event came in 2023. Jackman attended alone in 2024, then skipped the gala altogether the following year amid his highly publicized split.

The “X-Men” star finalized his divorce from Furness in June, ending a 27-year marriage. Meanwhile, his romance with Foster reportedly began in late 2024 after they starred together in Broadway’s 2021 revival of “The Music Man.”

While much of the attention surrounding Jackman remains focused on his relationship, the Hollywood star is currently promoting “The Death of Robin Hood.” 

In the film, he stars as the legendary outlaw alongside Jodie Comer, Bill Skarsgård, Jade Croot, and Katie Breen.

According to the film’s official synopsis, the main character Robin Hood, played by Jackman, is “grappling with his past after a life of crime and murder” and then finds himself gravely injured after a battle he thought would be his last.

The story continues as the character finds himself in the hands of a mysterious woman and is ultimately offered a chance at salvation.

So far, anticipation has been building for the release of the movie, which is set to hit theaters on June 19, 2026.
