Born Again’s Wilson Bethel Teases Bullseye’s Bigger MCU Future After That Finale Twist
Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for the Daredevil: Born Again, Season 2 finale
Summary
As Daredevil: Born Again reaches its Season 2 finale Tuesday night on Disney+, everything is unraveling at once in the tense hour of “The Southern Cross.” Our titular hero, Daredevil, played by Charlie Cox, exposes himself as Matt Murdock to stop Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio). But it’s that courthouse sequence that turns the sophomore season into a real battleground — and bloodbath. Just as Fisk loses control of the narrative he’s been carefully building all season, Wilson Bethel’s sharp-shooting Bullseye shows up. Not so much as part of the plan, but as the thing that completely breaks things apart.
That unpredictability carries into the episode’s final moments, too. In an interview with Collider, Bethel hints that ol’ Poindexter’s story is far from over, especially once Mr. Charles (Matthew Lillard) enters the picture. “Bullseye at the end of the day, in a lot of the comics, is just a straight-up hitman for hire,” he says, adding that “I don’t think it would be out of the realm of possibility for a government to be the one that comes up with the money to hire him.”
It’s that last scene of Dex with Charles on the plane that reframes Daredevil’s nemesis as not exactly rescued or redeemed, but possibly stepping into something bigger and more dangerous. Because, as Bethel points out, his character is still “operating for himself and through his own very specific lens.” Whatever deal he’s making now, it’s likely on his terms since that finale twist feels less like an ending and more like a handoff that leaves Matt behind bars, Fisk in exile to a lonely island, and Bullseye heading somewhere no one can really control.
Bethel Brought Back One Tiny Bullseye Habit From Netflix’s Daredevil
Dex’s coin trick was Bethel’s way of showing how Bullseye constantly sharpens his killer instincts.
Before we talk about the finale for Daredevil: Born Again, what’s a small detail about Bullseye this season compared to the Netflix seasons that fans might not notice, but you really love that you brought to the screen?
BETHEL: That’s a cool question. Well, one thing I brought back from the Netflix show, it’s a small detail, is this thing that Bullseye does with the coin in his fingers. He does it at the diner. He does it, I think, in another scene as well. That was something I started back in the Netflix days. It was this idea I had that Bullseye is somebody whose hands are so essential to who he is as a killer that he is always sort of honing his dexterity. So that’s just a little thing that he does to keep his hands fresh.
I love bringing stuff like that in. There are a lot of little things. There’s one scene that got cut, unfortunately, that I loved that was a sort of throwback, and there’s still a piece of it in the show, but now you won’t quite catch it, maybe. In Episode 4, when Daredevil comes to Dex’s apartment, and they have the fight in the apartment, Dex has got a Discman on, and one of the original ideas there was that he’s got the old tapes that he used to listen to, back in the day, in the Netflix show. But anyway, those are a couple of little details.
Those are great. So, when Bullseye tells Matt he killed Foggy, there’s no remorse in that conversation. It’s just sort of a fact. Is that how he processes it, or does he understand the weight of what he’s done to somebody who really cared about someone else?
BETHEL: That’s a great question. Empathy is not really part of Dex’s skill set, so he might be able to understand it on an intellectual level to a degree. What’s fascinating to me about that conversation is that the emotion that’s coming from Dex is about his own struggle and has really nothing to do with what poor Matt’s been through with the death of his best friend. That’s one of the confounding, interesting, and really fun-to-play elements of this character is that he is so in his own world. What’s happening in other people’s hearts and other people’s minds just doesn’t even register on his radar. He’s operating for himself and through his own very specific lens. Of course, that can mean that his perception of a larger reality is extremely skewed, which, again, is what makes it fun.
Bethel Breaks Down Bullseye and Karen’s Haunting Reunion
Bullseye’s first words to Karen matter because longtime Daredevil fans know exactly what those two words mean.
For sure. You’ve had some great scenes this season, also, with Deborah [Ann Woll]. I thought that was a great scene, the moment you guys are sharing. There’s this push and pull of her being so upset and angry, and she just wants to kill him.
BETHEL: Literal push and pull! She pushes me away, pulling me in with a gun to my head.
What was that like sharing that scene with her? It is so emotionally charged.
BETHEL: Dude, for starters, Deborah is obviously a powerhouse in this show. I think that in so many ways, she’s sort of the emotional heart of this whole show, and when she gets to really show that off, and when her character gets dropped into those moments where she’s feeling so much, I think it just draws the whole narrative, in an amazing way, together.
I loved getting to do that scene, partly because the emotional stakes are obviously so high, and I think she carries that so well, and that these two characters, again, just speaking on what we mentioned before in the other part of the interview, there’s so much history now between these characters. It really makes it fun, man. So when Dex, in that scene, wakes up out of his little semi-coma or whatever, then his first words are, “Hello, Karen,” anybody who’s been watching the show since the Netflix days knows that those two words mean a lot.
It was very haunting — almost sort of chilling in that sense. Throughout the season, Matt refuses to let Bullseye kill Fisk because it would make Fisk a martyr. Knowing what the politics behind all that is, do you think Bullseye understands that kind of long-term thinking at all, or is he sort of like in his own element right now?
BETHEL: To my earlier point, I don’t think it really concerns him. He has his own point of view, and he’s so firm. Nothing you’re going to say is going to talk him out of his point of view. So, yeah, he’s not logical.
‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Quietly Hints Matt Murdock Will Never Join The Avengers
Don’t expect the Man Without Fear to show up in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’.
That’s such an interesting thing about him. I used to wonder, in past seasons, obviously, maybe he’s got a little bit of a heart there. Maybe he does care more than you see. But then you see the opposite.
BETHEL: Just to be clear, the two things are not mutually exclusive. You know what I mean? Like, this is a mentally ill person. So, it’s not that he doesn’t have a heart. It’s that his brain is so tremendously clouded and afflicted that he can’t see things clearly a lot of the time. But I think that’s one of the interesting things is that, I think there are moments from when we first started doing this series where Dex’s heart actually is visible in different ways, and part of that is what has allowed people to respond to this character as much as they have and why he, to most people’s eyes, does not register as a traditional villain in a lot of ways. Because there’s a lot going on under the surface that you can’t necessarily fault him for, and that he is very clearly human. He’s not just like some robot killer.
Also, with Bullseye cutting through Fisk’s fake Bullseye team, taking over the sniper position, that felt like he was reclaiming his identity in real time. Did you approach that as him correcting an imitation, or like, “This is who I am. Don’t mess with me?”
BETHEL: It’s funny, I don’t think that I actually thought of it that way when I was shooting it, but I actually like your version. So now, if anyone else asks, that is Bullseye reclaiming himself. Hell yeah, girl! Thank you for that.
Bullseye’s Plane Scene May Point to His Next Shady Mission
The finale with Mr. Charles suggests Dex may be recruited into something bigger, not simply rescued.
[Laughs] You’re totally welcome. So by the end, when Bullseye is on the plane with Mr. Charles, Matthew Lillard — great to see him on the show — it does feel like he’s being absorbed into something bigger. I know you can’t say too much, but there is that Easter egg of Mr. Charles speaking to Allegra, which we assume is her. Do you want the audience to feel like he’s being rescued or recruited, or just reassigned somewhere?
BETHEL: Yeah, I think there’s a very fair assumption to make, and I certainly won’t push back on it. We know from the comics, too, that at various moments, Bullseye has worked for the government in all kinds of shady capacities. Bullseye at the end of the day, in a lot of the comics, is just a straight-up hitman for hire, and so, I don’t think it would be out of the realm of possibility for a government to be the one that comes up with the money to hire him.
I know you said that Bullseye has this trajectory where he doesn’t really see anything else outside what he wants, but going from working under Vanessa to potentially working with Mr. Charles, does that feel like progress for him or just like the same cycle under a different boss?
BETHEL: I think it all depends on the terms of the arrangement. How much freedom does a guy like that get to be who he is? I think that’s what it comes down to. With Vanessa and with Fisk, in their separate arrangements, whether from Season 3 of the Netflix show or Season 1 of Born Again, those were both versions of Dex operating from a weakened position of leverage. With Fisk, he was being actively manipulated. With Vanessa, he had to make that deal essentially to get out of an institution; otherwise, he was going to die there, probably, and that is how he got his mind back. But I like to think that if he’s making any kind of bargains or deals about what his future holds at this point, he’s doing it from a position of power, and I think that gives him a lot more freedom.
Bethel Knows Exactly Which Marvel Heroes Bullseye Should Fight Next
Bethel hopes Tom Holland makes another Spider-Man movie — and that Bullseye gets to be part of it.
I know you can’t get into specifics, but what does that ending suggest to you about his future in the MCU, and is there a character you’d love to see him go up against?
BETHEL: Man, look, one of the things that I think is amazing about this character is I think he would operate so well in so many different scenarios and contexts. Obviously, he’s not a character that would function particularly well against, like, Galactus, but I think it would be a hell of a lot of fun to see him up against somebody like Spider-Man. It’d be a hell of a lot of fun to see him against somebody like Hawkeye. It would be a hell of a lot of fun to see him go up against Punisher. So I think there are a lot of different avenues that this character could continue to be used in, and I sure hope I get to do a lot more of it.
I know that Spider-Man’s coming up, and the Punisher is in it, so who’s to say?
BETHEL: Let’s just hope that Tom Holland decides to do another one, and I can be a part of that one.

The Pitt is going through another major change — with a main character leaving the ER in season 3.
Shabana Azeez, who plays student doctor Victoria Javadi, told Bustle earlier this month that she will be returning to the hit HBO Max show in a different way, saying, “I’m not in the ER this season.”
Azeez broke down the reason for the shakeup.
“I’ve done my ER rotation, so I’m doing my psychiatry rotation,” she continued. “It’s a very different vibe for me. And I’m scared and nervous. But it’s an honor to be able to show that part of medicine.”
The season 3 update comes after The Pitt received backlash for Supriya Ganesh‘s exit. The actress made her mark on HBO Max’s The Pitt when she was introduced in the role of Samira Mohan.
Ganesh appeared in two seasons before news broke in March that she would be written out of the show after season 2. The decision wasn’t well recieved by fans who were still upset about Tracy Ifeachor‘s exit after season 1. Both departures were referred to as a creative choice.
“It’s sort of the nature of the show. Unfortunately, the way the medical profession works, you come in, you learn, you move on, and we want to try and be as truthful to that process as possible,” Gemmill explained to Us Weekly at the time. “So we’re going to turn over our cast. But I think it’s a great launching pad for people, and that’s the best we can do.”

In a separate interview, Gemmill addressed the criticism surrounding multiple women of color leaving The Pitt.
“It eliminates the false jeopardy some shows have,” he told Vulture. “[Mohan] is somebody who doesn’t have a job lined up and might not know where she’s going next, and we’re trying to build up the uncertainty that these young physicians face.”
The interviewer pointed out to Gemmill that the show’s two major departures have both been women of color. In response, Gemmill called it “just a by-product of having a diverse cast,” adding, “We have a lot of women, and a lot of women of color. It’s just a coincidence more than anything else.”
The Pitt cast has not shied away from reacting to losing some of their own as multiple actors leave the show. HBO Max’s hit series, which premiered in January 2025, follows a group of employees at a fictional Pittsburgh hospital’s ER working a single 15-hour shift. The series is led by Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle), […]
Wyle, 54, also defended the casting shakeup.
“Emergency rooms have a high revolving door,” Wyle told Variety at PaleyFest’s screening of The Pitt earlier this month. “As always, we try to bring in new characters or promote from within as we go through these cast changes and try to keep the story lines fresh.”
Wyle didn’t rule out more departures before the show starts filming season 3, adding, “It’s an inevitability that’s going to happen every season with this show, because as writers we’re hard-pressed to figure out what a lapse of time we can have and keep most of the ensemble together realistically.”
He concluded: “Obviously Supriya has been a huge part of our show since the beginning. Dr. Mohan is a beloved character, and I love playing with her and working with Supriya, and we wish her all the best in her next endeavors, and we’re going to miss her.”
The Pitt has been renewed for season 3 on HBO Max.
Meghan Markle is celebrating the arrival of a new season with a rare look into her home life with Prince Harry and their children.
Markle, 44, took to Instagram on Tuesday, June 9, to post a carousel of candid photos snapped throughout the couple’s idyllic home in Montecito, California.
“Springing into summer 🌼,” the Duchess of Sussex captioned the post, which opened with a black-and-white snap of herself lying on the grass with a straw hat, concealing her face as she sprawled beside a bunch of fresh-cut blooms.
Another shot captured Harry, 41, kicking a super-sized soccer ball around the grass with the couple’s son, Archie, 7, while another image showed their daughter, Lilibet, 5, wearing a white T-shirt emblazoned with an illustration of Beyoncé. “B if for Beyoncé,” read a line of text above the drawing, which also depicted large hoop earrings that read “Queen Bey” from left to right.
A second black-and-white shot showed Markle and Harry from behind, seated on a bench seemingly amid a workout as Markle rested her sneaker-clad feet up next to her as she cuddled Harry, who wore a backwards cap.
Additional photos in the carousel showed the couple’s rescue beagle, Mamma Mia, sleeping under the sunshine just off the home’s porch, a bird’s nest filled with three white eggs and later with three baby birds, Markle rocking a double denim ensemble and slicing onions in the kitchen, and a basket haul of fresh vegetables and fruit seemingly harvested from the family’s garden.
Just five days prior, Markle celebrated Lilibet’s 5th birthday with a smaller Instagram carousel that showed both the youngster exploring a lush green garden and her being doted on by her beaming parents. “Our dream girl,” Markle captioned the post. “Happy 5th birthday, Lili.”
Meghan Markle is celebrating her and Prince Harry’s daughter, Princess Lilibet, on International Women’s Day. “For the woman she will one day be … Happy International Women’s Day,” Meghan, 44, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, March 8, noting that the photo was taken by Harry, 41. “📸: Papa Sussex.” In the snap, Meghan is seen […]
Markle and Harry tied the knot on May 19, 2018, at Windsor Castle’s St George’s Chapel in England. They celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary the same month that they welcomed Archie into the world. The following year, the pair announced their decision to step back as senior members of the royal family before relocating to the U.S. permanently.
News broke in August, 2020, that the couple had purchased a $14.65 million home in Montecito. A source told Us Weekly at the time, “Montecito is only just over an hour’s drive from L.A., which is where a majority of their work is based, yet far enough away to escape the crowds, paparazzi and tourism in Hollywood.”
Lilibet arrived in June 2021. The pair shared via a statement posted to their philanthropy website at the time, “On June 4th, we were blessed with the arrival of our daughter, Lili. She is more than we could have ever imagined, and we remain grateful for the love and prayers we’ve felt from across the globe. Thank you for your continued kindness and support during this very special time for our family.”
The couple added that their daughter’s first name was chosen to honor her late great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, who died at the age of 96 in September 2022. She had held the family nickname, Lilibet, herself.

Time to roast the host!
Prime Video’s ongoing fantasy series has become a streaming hit. The Amazon-owned streaming platform has been making headlines lately, with shows like Spider-Noir and Off Campus catching audiences’ attention. But, this week, the streaming platform released the latest installment of its adult fantasy adventure.
The Legend of Vox Machina is an animated fantasy series that began as a Dungeons & Dragons web series/live stream called Critical Role, starring Matthew Mercer as the dungeon master and featuring Laura Bailey, Taliesin Jaffe, Ashley Johnson, Liam O’Brien, Marisha Ray, Sam Riegel, and Travis Willingham as the players. In 2019, a Kickstarter campaign was announced to help fund one animated special, but fans raised over $1 million within the first hour the campaign launched, leading to the show receiving a full season.
Since The Legend of Vox Machina debuted in 2022, the show has released three seasons and is currently airing its fourth. As of writing, the first three episodes of Season 4 were released, and over the weekend, The Legend of Vox Machina landed at #5 on Prime Video’s Top 10 charts worldwide, sitting between Clarkson’s Farm and Yo soy Betty la fea. With only three episodes out, Season 4 of The Legend of Vox Machina received high praise, earning a perfect critics’ score and a 95% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
What Is ‘The Legend of Vox Machina’ About?
Based on the first Dungeons & Dragons campaign of Critical Role, The Legend of Vox Machina is set in Mercer’s fictional world of Exandria. The series follows Vox Machina, a group of adventurers who undertake dangerous quests to protect the realm. In Season 3, the team faced the Chroma Conclave, a powerful alliance of dragons that sought to conquer Tal’Dorei. After defeating the Conclave, Vox Machina goes their separate ways. Scanlan Shorthalt (Riegel) leaves to travel with his daughter, Kaylie, while Keyleth (Ray) continues her Aramenté, with Vax’ildan (O’Brien) accompanying her. Meanwhile, Vex’ahlia (Bailey) and Percy de Rolo (Jaffe) begin a new chapter together in Whitestone. Season 4 picks up one year after the events of Season 3, exploring what has become of the members of Vox Machina since their separation. However, a new threat soon emerges, forcing the legendary heroes to reunite once again.
The first three episodes of The Legend of Vox Machina Season 4 are available to stream on Prime Video, with new episodes coming out every Wednesday. Follow Collider for more updates.

Travis Kelce found himself at the center of unexpected controversy after a joking comment from model Jena Sims sparked backlash among Taylor Swift’s fans.
The wife of golfer Brooks Koepka recently referred to the Kansas City Chiefs star as her “hall pass” while recalling their meeting earlier this year, a remark that quickly ignited criticism online.
While Sims appeared to be joking, many Swift supporters were unimpressed, with some accusing her of crossing a line by publicly discussing the NFL star in that way.
The controversy stems from comments Sims recently made while reflecting on her interactions with Travis Kelce.
The model first met the NFL star at a pro-am golf event in Scottsdale, Arizona, earlier this year.
Kelce and Koepka were paired together for nine holes during the tournament, giving Sims an opportunity to meet someone she had apparently admired for years.
At the time, she openly shared her excitement on social media. “I’m obsessed with Taylor Swift’s fiance even before Taylor was in the picture,” Sims said in a TikTok post.
She also uploaded a photo of herself standing alongside Koepka and Kelce at the event while supporting her husband on the course.
Months later, Sims revisited that encounter during an interview and made another comment that quickly grabbed attention online.
While speaking about meeting Kelce, Sims jokingly referred to him as her celebrity exception. “I was so excited to meet Travis Kelce, I mean, he’s my hall pass. Brooks knows that,” she said in an interview with PEOPLE.
The actress also admitted she specifically planned her outfit for the occasion because she knew the NFL star would be there. According to her, she decided to go for something a “little more sportier” than usual.
Sims revealed that her husband found the whole thing amusing. “Brooks was like, ‘You’re so ridiculous,’” she recalled.
Elsewhere in the interview, she also shared that Kelce recognized her when they crossed paths again several weeks later at the Masters. According to her, the interaction caught her completely off guard.
“He came straight up to me and was like, ‘Hey, it’s good to see you again,’” she said. The recognition surprised Sims because she never expected Kelce to remember her after their brief meeting in Arizona.
“I’m like, ‘Oh my God. You remember me?’” she recalled.
Although she clearly enjoyed the interaction, Sims joked that she will not be receiving an invitation to Kelce and Swift’s wedding.
Despite making the remarks as a joke, many Taylor Swift fans did not find the comments quite as funny. Several took to social media to criticize the interview, arguing that the remarks were inappropriate considering Travis Kelce’s relationship with the singer.
One user wrote per the Daily Mail, “This is the kinda sh-t you keep to yourself and don’t say in an interview…” Others were equally blunt in their reactions.
The backlash continued as Swift fans dissected various parts of Sims’ interview. Some were particularly surprised by her admission that she intentionally dressed differently because she expected to meet Kelce.
“To admit the outfit you’re wearing is because of Travis ….like wtf who says that in an interview,” one critic commented.
Another user questioned why the topic needed to be discussed publicly at all. “I’ve never heard of this woman but how disrespectful to all involved. Maybe she shouldn’t be publicly sharing her ‘hall pass’ as a joke,” they said.
Others summed up their reactions in simpler terms. “CRINGE,” one person posted.
Swift and Kelce’s Rumored Venue Linked To Attack That Left Five Injured
Amid the drama, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are getting ready to walk down the aisle this summer.
As the couple gear up for their big day, their wedding venue has been connected to a disturbing crime story.
As The Blast reported, a violent stabbing rampage unfolded just steps away from Madison Square Garden, the New York arena reportedly being considered for their wedding.
According to reports, five people were slashed inside Penn Station on June 7 when an assailant allegedly attacked victims at random inside the busy transit hub located directly beneath Madison Square Garden.
The incident immediately drew attention because Swift and Kelce are rumored to be planning to host between 1,100 and 1,200 guests on July 3.
Now, security concerns have become an even bigger talking point. Reports indicate Madison Square Garden quickly has implemented enhanced security measures for major events in the area, including increased screening procedures, perimeter controls, and stricter entry requirements.
Taylor Swift Reportedly Left Feeling ‘Very Vulnerable’ After Wedding Leaks Force Major Changes
Last month, The Blast reported that Swift and Travis Kelce were forced to overhaul parts of their wedding plans after a series of leaks exposed details about the highly anticipated event.
According to sources, the leaks were “incredibly disheartening” for the couple, with one insider claiming they had already changed venues and dates in an effort to protect their privacy.
“They’ve had to change venues and dates. It’s been such a monstrous headache, but even worse, it has left Taylor feeling very vulnerable. There are a lot of questions about who to trust,” the source said.
The reported breaches allegedly prompted Swift to become even more protective of the guest list, with strict no-plus-one rules implemented for many attendees.
Insiders claimed the singer didn’t want “random faces in the crowd” and was determined to prevent anyone from “spying” on the ceremony.
One source described the planning process as being “orchestrated like a military operation,” adding that Swift was willing to make “hard choices” if it meant preserving the privacy of what is expected to be one of the most closely watched celebrity weddings in recent memory.
Entertainment
‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Meets ‘The Lord of the Rings’ in This Fantasy Adventure Sleeper Hit
While science fiction has been dominating entertainment in 2026, fantasy has been on the rise lately, with the release of Masters of the Universe, Season 4 of The Legend of Vox Machina, and, arguably, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which has reached $1 billion at the global box office. With many fantasy-adventure projects coming out, it’s no surprise that fans of the genre are revisiting one of its most underrated films, which features a star-studded cast but was seen as a box-office disappointment despite high praise.
Recently, a handful of projects that were seen as disappointments at release have found new audiences on streaming. One current example is the Battleship movie — based on the board game of the same name and featuring a slew of A-list celebrities — which was one of the “biggest box-office bombs of all time,” but has made a streaming comeback. Now, another movie based on a popular board game has found a new audience on streaming.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves was a 2023 fantasy heist film based on the Dungeons & Dragons franchise. Recently, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves dominated Pluto TV’s Top 10 Movie charts during the weekend, ranking #1 in the U.S., just above Top Gun: Maverick. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves stars Chris Pine as Edgin the bard, as he embarks on a heist with his friend Holga the barbarian (Michelle Rodriguez), Simon the wizard (Justice Smith), and Doric the druid (Sophia Lillis) to take back a magic artifact from their former friend and con artist Forge (Hugh Grant), and regain the trust of Edgin’s daughter, Kira (Chloe Coleman). Alongside the main cast, the film also features Bradley Cooper as Holga’s ex-husband, Marlamin; the Australian comedy group Aunty Donna; and a live-action cameo from the main characters of the Dungeons & Dragons TV series.
Is ‘Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’ Worth Watching?
Since its release, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves has grossed over $208 million worldwide and was seen as a box-office disappointment. However, the movie was highly praised, earning a 91% Certified Fresh critics’ score and a 92% Verified Hot audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. According to critics, ScreenRant praised the movie’s action sequences and special effects, but there were moments where it may be hard to keep up with the Dungeons & Dragons references, especially for those who have not played the board game. Meanwhile, CBR also praised the movie, most notably the cast, who were able to bring their characters’ personalities and archetypes to life.
Collider’s Carly Lane gave Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves a “B+” rating. She praised the movie for being thoughtful and playful in its execution, and for its filmmakers, Jonathan Goldstein, John Francis Daley, and screenwriter Michael Gillio, for adapting a franchise without shoving Easter eggs or fan service into every scene.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is available to stream on Pluto TV. Follow Collider for more updates.

The twisted true crime series has hosted a number rising and veteran actors over the years.
Taylor Swift made a surprise appearance at the premiere of the highly anticipated fifth installment of “Toy Story,” more than a week after revealing that she had recorded a song for the film.
The pop superstar arrived at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, walking the red carpet in a patchwork dress. Later, Swift performed the song “I Knew It, I Knew You,” followed by a duet with legendary composer Randy Newman.
Swift has long been a fan of the “Toy Story” franchise, and her involvement was strictly kept under wraps, making the surprise reveal of her contribution to the film’s soundtrack even more exciting for fans.
On June 9, Taylor Swift was among the stars who attended the “Toy Story 5” premiere at the Dolby Theatre in L.A. The singer stunned in an adorable off-shoulder corset mini dress from Erdem’s 2026 fall/winter collection that she accessorized with a sparkling horseshoe pendant and gold heeled sandals.
Swift’s appearance was a welcome surprise. On June 1, the singer finally confirmed rumors that she was somewhat involved in the latest “Toy Story” movie. In an Instagram post, she shared with her millions of followers that she penned the original song “I Knew It, I Knew You,” for the film.
“I’ve always dreamed of getting to write for these characters who I’ve adored since I was a 5 year old kid watching the first Toy Story movie,” she wrote.
Tom Hanks Signed An Autograph For The Singer
According to USA Today, Swift had a fangirl moment with the film’s stars and asked Tom Hanks, who has voiced Sheriff Woody Pride for more than three decades, for an autograph.
The 36-year-old singer reportedly brought her VHS copy of the first “Toy Story” movie, which was released in 1995 when she was just 5 years old.
“I didn’t get a selfie, but I did sign her original VHS of the first ‘Toy Story.’ I told her she should have brought an original VHS machine, and we could have signed it. And that could go in the Smithsonian as well,” Hanks said of his interaction with Swift.
Taylor Swift Performed Her New Song Live For The First Time
Following the “Toy Story 5” screening, Swift took the stage for a surprise performance. Donning a flowing yellow dress, she sat behind the piano and did a stripped-down version of “I Knew It, I Knew You.”
The song, written specifically for Jessie’s character, is included in the “Toy Story 5” soundtrack. It marks Swift’s latest project with longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff, whom she worked with on several of her albums.
However, the surprise didn’t stop there. Next, composer Randy Newman took his place on the piano and performed a duet of “You’ve Got a Friend in Me,” the main theme song of the “Toy Story” franchise.
A Decoy Was Created To Keep The Secret
After Swift’s revelation on June 1, “Toy Story 5” VFX Supervisor Thomas Jordan revealed that only a handful of people knew that Swift had a song in the movie. Jordan said the singer saw an early version of the film in February, wrote a song, and asked them if they wanted it.
The team then created a decoy version of “Toy Story 5,” one where Swift’s song wasn’t included, so they could show Pixar/Disney employees and press the film without spoiling the surprise. Jordan said that even the majority of the crew who worked on the movie did not know about Swift’s involvement.
Rumors Of Taylor Swift’s Involvement Spread In April
Despite the secrecy, eagle-eyed Swifties were quick to figure out several clues.
On April 30, Swift’s official website displayed a countdown clock, but it quickly disappeared. Those who saw it, however, noted that the background showed a blue sky with a few puffy clouds, which was similar to the wallpaper from “Toy Story.”
Later, the singer was spotted wearing a sky-blue dress paired with a yellow purse and red shoes, the signature colors of the “Toy Story” franchise. Then, billboards that featured the “TS” initials with a sky and clouds background appeared at different locations, sparking further speculation. It wasn’t until Swift’s Instagram post, however, that the rumors were confirmed.
In a post on June 5, Swift wrote, “Being a Toy Story kid from the age of 5 til now… is an adventure I plan to be on, to infinity and beyond.”
