Princess Diaries Author Meg Cabot Has Read 3rd Movie Script
Following two successful Princess Diaries films, devoted fans have been clamoring for more — but does the tiara still fit?
“There is a script for the third movie. There is a script,” Anne Hathaway, who played Princess Mia Thermopolis in the 2001 flick, revealed during a January 2019 appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. “I want to do it. Julie [Andrews] wants to do it. Debra Martin Chase, our producer, wants to do it. We all really want it to happen.”
Late director Garry Marshall previously adapted Meg Cabot’s bestselling Princess Diaries novels for the big screen. In the first film, Hathaway’s Mia is an ordinary — albeit unpopular — teenager who discovers she’s the princess of a small European country and meets her estranged grandmother (Andrews) for the first time. A sequel, called The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, premiered in 2004.
Hathaway announced in October 2024 that she’s reprising her role in a third movie — which Disney has greenlit — and hopes to begin filming in 2025.
Scroll below for The Princess Diaries cast’s honest quotes about reuniting on screen, before and after the project was confirmed:

Inflation and gas prices are a bit like the teachers you had in grade school – they’re stubborn AF.
Tubi is stubborn, too – it’s one of the few streamers out there that’s been completely free for years, even after competitors like Netflix and HBO Max raised their prices.
More importantly, the streamer’s library is filled with hits from the distant past and present.
That’s especially true in August, when Tubi is adding such blockbusters as the first three Mission: Impossible movies with Tom Cruise, the original Ghost Rider film with Nicolas Cage (take that, Ryan Gosling) and the classic ABC TGIF sitcom, Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper.

Spoiler Alert: This list contains spoilers for Spider-Man: Brand New Day.The newest installment in the Tom Holland Spider-Man franchise, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, is finally here, and it is considered the best of the franchise. This fourth Spidey production in the Marvel Cinematic Universe isn’t just a great film, but it is a gigantic treat for any fan of the Wall-Crawler’s comic book mythology.
It’s more than clear that Holland and director Destin Daniel Cretton love the source material, and that not only shows through the quality of the movie, but also in the cameos they include. There are plenty of characters in this project that are not only references to classic niche Spidey villains, but also other MCU characters and notable actors in the industry.
8
Cindy Moon
Comic book fans know the one and only Cindy Moon as one of the newer additions to the Marvel Comics Spider-Family, Silk. However, many may not realize that the character actually is part of the MCU, first introduced in Spider-Man: Homecoming, and surprisingly makes a return in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
When Peter Parker attends the university being taught by Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) at Empire State University, Cindy happens to be in the class and gets a little featured moment. This is an incredibly small cameo, but it’s interesting that, of all Peter’s old classmates to find themselves in the project, they chose Cindy… Who knows, a Silk project was in the works for a while, so this could be some subliminal messaging from Sony and Marvel Studios.
7
Ramrod
Right off the bat, when Spider-Man: Brand New Day begins, a montage kicks off that depicts where Peter has been in the four years since Spider-Man: No Way Home. During this, fans of the Spider-Man comic books get to see some quick recreations of classic books from the hero’s mythology, which includes some niche villains.
Even some fans of the source material might not know who Ramrod (Billy Clements) is, and no one would blame them for it. For one quick moment, Spidey fans get to see the recreation of Amazing Spider-Man #221 (1981) — an iconic and memorable Ramrod cover. This is just one of a good couple of comic book cover recreations, and it’s a very fun one. It’s one thing to utilize bigger foes in a sequence like this, but giving some attention to the smaller players is abundantly respectable. Everyone knows Scorpion, but who knows Ramrod? That’s right, no one.
6
Tarantula
Another Spider-Man villain that is smaller and may not be known by a few is Tarantula. Within the opening montage, Cretton brings the cover of Amazing Spider-Man #134 (1974) to the screen. Anton Miguel Rodriquez is a classic foe who, in the original appearance, was a very political character. Creator Gerry Conway (may he rest in peace) cited the political upheavals in South America during the 1970s as part of the inspiration for the character.
With a history like this, it’s fun that the director decided to introduce him to the MCU and bring some variety in for the enemies of the movie universe. The Tarantula mantle would go on to be carried on by a few others throughout the years, so he has a more prominent role in the books than the likes of Ramrod, making this a special appearance for the smaller number of fans of him.
5
Sheila Rivera
After the events of Daredevil: Born Again — where Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) was finally arrested and lost his position as mayor — someone needed to take up the mantle of the leader of New York City, and Sheila Rivera (Zabryna Guevara) was perfect. Acting only in the television series before this, the newest Spider-Man movie is her first MCU cinema appearance.
When it’s quickly shown that Spider-Man received the key to the city, the one to give it to him is Rivera herself. When Fisk was arrested, she became acting mayor, and it’s cool to see that was still the case in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. With people pretty much begging to see more street-level heroes in the world of the Web-Slinger, it’s a treat to see another character aside from Punisher (Jon Bernthal) from Daredevil: Born Again appear.
4
“The Boyfriend”
After appearing as the fan-favorite Star Wars character, Ezra Bridger, in the Disney+ streaming series Ahsoka, actor Eman Esfandi became a lot more well-known to general geekdom. Only appearing once, Esfandi plays Michelle Jones-Watson’s (Zendaya) new boyfriend, who brings a lot of emotional conflict for Peter Parker. It causes him so much distress that he goes for a swing and falls a little too far before thwipping another web, making it pretty obvious how much hurt he’s feeling.
A lot of people assumed that if Cretton and co. were going to bring Esfandi in to play a character, he’d be a lot more of an important role, but the actor makes a pretty small appearance. So small, in fact, that he doesn’t even get a name in the credits. One can only hope that, moving forward, “The Boyfriend” becomes more of an important character, bringing more emotional conflict to the story between Michelle and Peter. He could be a great antagonistic figure in the next project, with Michelle possibly being part of a future love triangle between the three.
3
Boomerang
One of the goofiest and most fun smaller Spider-Man villains is the one and only Boomerang. Recently, the boomerang-wielding baddie had a great role in the main plot of Amazing Spider-Man (2018), in which Peter has to actually be a roommate to the classic Spidey villain. While he is commonly treated as a joke — his role in Amazing Spider-Man (2018) was hilarious—he can also be a very dangerous guy who has, on occasion, given the hero a run for his money.
This is another character that gets a one-shot moment in the opening montage, but is a special treat for readers who have been invested in the Wall-Crawler for a while. This almost makes one wish that they could have given a little more action to the blue-clad bad guy. Maybe one day in the future, right, Kevin Feige? With the fifth Spider-Man movie hopefully on the way soon, Boomerang is a potential villain who could be considered for the next rogues roster.
2
Tombstone
While the web-swinging Wall-Crawler has a long history of fighting the New York City underground crime ring, which is primarily led by Wilson Fisk, one of his other crime lord baddies, Tombstone — played by Marvin Jones III in Spider-Man: Brand New Day — is extremely underrated. Being a main antagonist in the legendary The Spectacular Spider-Man television show, fans really enjoy this tough-as-nails crime boss who’s got a strong grip on the underworld of New York City.
He gets a cameo — which is longer than most of the other villains in the montage — at the top of the film, where he and Spidey trade a couple of lines of dialogue with each other. Spider-Man fans have said for quite some time that if he isn’t going to face Kingpin in the MCU, they should bring in Tombstone. Finally, they have, and they’d be smart to bring him back in the future, especially with an acting titan like Marvin Jones III. With Fisk in jail now, he also may be the only option, at least for the time being. He’s a bit stronger than the other crime lord, as well, with nearly impenetrable skin, making him an extremely difficult foe to face on a physical level. A toe-to-toe confrontation was hinted at in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, but if fans and general audiences get lucky enough, they’ll actually get to see a confrontation in the future — so long as they go and greenlight another Spidey movie.
1
Yelena Belova
Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) has become a total fan-favorite ever since she was introduced in Black Widow and then became even more of a main character in 2025’s Thunderbolts*. Peter and Yelena are, in some ways, very similar, and a crossover between them was a great idea. While their two interactions in the movie aren’t super long, they have some great interactions, and their dynamic is perfect.
This also really hones in on the fact that Spidey is far more street-level now, with the New Avengers leader considering Peter’s issues as “small potatoes”. It’s also a real treat to see that the young hero still has some connections with the big dogs in The Avengers. Yelena’s two cameos are such a fun time, and not only that, but they also convey some extremely important information within the plot, making them not just moments for a giggle or two, but genuinely integral inclusions.

Taylor Sheridan‘s Lioness has put in a lot of work to make their cast look very different than they do in real life.
Created by Sheridan, the hit Paramount+ series is a spy thriller that follows the leader of a CIA team that enlists female operatives — known as Lionesses — to go undercover in the war on terror.
The first two seasons followed Joe (Zoe Saldaña) as she recruited Cruz (Laysla De Oliveira) and Josie (Genesis Rodriguez) to go undercover. A season 2 mission put the team at risk that nearly ended in a group sacrifice.
Coming off the difficult mission that resulted in several injuries, Joe returned to D.C. and reunited with her husband, Neal (Dave Annable). Season 3 will follow Joe as she balances her personal and professional life.
Lioness is returning for a third season — but is every cast member coming back? Created by Taylor Sheridan, the hit Paramount+ series is a spy thriller that follows the leader of a CIA team that enlists female operatives — known as Lionesses — to go undercover in the war on terror. The first two […]
Keep scrolling to see what the stars of Lioness look like in real life:
Zoe Saldana
On screen, Saldaña plays Joe McNamara a.k.a a CIA senior case officer in charge of the Lioness program
Laysla De Oliveira

Jordan, who has worked with Sheridan in the past, is known as Two Cups.
Austin Hebert
Hébert’s Randy is another member of the QRF.
Jonah Wharton
Rounding out the Lioness program is Tex, who is also part of QRF.
As the man behind Yellowstone and its myriad spinoffs, Taylor Sheridan is one of the most important people at Paramount Network — but the Yellowstone universe is only one part of his empire. While other super-producers — Ryan Murphy and Shonda Rhimes, for example — enlist other writers and directors to work on projects bearing […]
Nicole Kidman
Kidman has played Kaitlyn Meade — a CIA Clandestine Service supervisor and Joe’s boss — since season 1.

Rodriguez is known as Captain Josephina Carrillo, a U.S. Army Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk pilot recruited into the Lioness program due to a family connection to the Mexican cartel.
Ian Bohen
Bohen will be introduced in season 3 as Grady. He is described as a U.S. Army Delta Force operator and K9 handler.
With back-to-back blockbusters The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day, stars Zendaya and Tom Holland are having a tremendous 2026. This weekend alone, the two movies are powering the domestic box office to a record-breaking $400 million-plus haul combined. Spider-Man: Brand New Day shattered expectations to deliver approximately $350 million in its stateside debut, and nearly $1 billion worldwide. This is the second-biggest opening frame in history, behind Avengers: Endgame‘s $357 million domestic and $1.2 billion worldwide debut in 2019. Zendaya’s 2026 is arguably more successful than Holland’s; she also headlined the final season of HBO’s Euphoria and the sleeper hit film The Drama. She will conclude the year with Dune: Part Three, which will likely emerge as a hit, too.
Zendaya appears in a memorable extended cameo as Athena in Christopher Nolan‘s epic, which opened to universal acclaim two weeks ago. The movie now holds a “Certified Fresh” 94% critics’ score and a “Verified Hot” 97% audience score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “Reinvigorating an ancient adventure with majestic sweep and sterling work by its colossal ensemble, Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey imbues myth with primal human feeling.” Headlined by Matt Damon, the movie features Holland Odysseus’ son, Telemachus. The Odyssey‘s sprawling cast also includes Anne Hathaway, Jon Bernthal, Robert Pattinson, and others.
Here’s How Much ‘The Odyssey’ Has Grossed at the Global Box Office
After two full weeks of release, The Odyssey has grossed $911 million at the worldwide box office. This puts the epic fantasy adventure ahead of past hits such as Sam Raimi‘s first Spider-Man movie, the very Nolan-esque Mission: Impossible — Fallout, and Nolan’s own sci-fi sensation Inception. Produced on a reported budget of $250 million, The Odyssey is poised to become the filmmaker’s third feature to gross more than $1 billion worldwide, after The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. In the coming days, the film will surpass the $975 million lifetime haul of Oppenheimer, and will then challenge the records of Nolan’s second and third Batman movies. As things stand, despite the competition posed by Spider-Man: Brand New Day, The Odyssey is on track to emerge as Nolan’s highest-grossing hit ever. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Paramount+ isn’t as prolific as competitors Netflix and HBO Max, but it’s quietly one of the best streamers around.
One big reason why is that it’s home to some of Taylor Sheridan‘s biggest shows, like 1923 with Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren.
One of his most popular shows, the action drama Lioness, returns for a third season, along with stars Zoe Saldana and Nicole Kidman.
Paramount+ is also adding several classic films, like Risky Business with Tom Cruise and Dead Man Walking with Sean Penn.

Blue Valentine
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s private wedding vows reportedly gave their guests a deeply personal look at the relationship behind one of the world’s most famous couples. Maren Morris was among the approximately 1,000 people invited to the couple’s July 3 ceremony at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The country singer has now shared new details about the lengthy vows, revealing that Swift and Kelce balanced heartfelt admissions with the playful humor that defines their relationship.
Morris described the couple’s exchange of vows as “beautiful” while speaking exclusively with PEOPLE. “It just felt like you really got a closer look into their love for each other and their sense of humor,” the 36-year-old singer said.
Swift and Kelce reportedly read vows that lasted approximately 20 minutes each, allowing their friends and relatives to hear the intimate details of their love story.
Morris, who is friends with Swift and has previously collaborated with her musically, said being included in such a significant moment was deeply meaningful. “Being one of 1,000 people that witnessed that, it was an honor,” Morris shared. “[The best part was] just celebrating their love for each other.”
Despite the enormous guest list and famous venue, Morris’ account suggests that the ceremony remained focused on the bride and groom rather than the spectacle surrounding them.
Couple Skipped A Traditional Wedding Party
Swift and Kelce did not surround themselves with a traditional group of bridesmaids and groomsmen. Instead, Swift’s brother, Austin, stood beside her as Man of Honor. Kelce selected his older brother, retired Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce, as his Best Man.
“Taylor & Travis did not have bridesmaids or groomsmen. Instead, her brother, Austin Swift, served as Taylor’s Man of Honor, and Jason Kelce was Travis’ Best Man. The ceremony joined both families together and was officiated by friend Adam Sandler,” Swift’s representative confirmed in a statement.
Sandler reportedly brought his humor to the ceremony while also embracing the emotional responsibility of officiating the couple’s marriage.
Taylor Swift’s Wedding Featured Legendary Performers
The reception included performances from some of the biggest names in music. Paul McCartney performed The Beatles’ classic “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” while Stevie Nicks was also included in the evening’s entertainment lineup.
The guest list featured musicians, actors and celebrities from across both Swift and Kelce’s professional worlds. Reported attendees included Selena Gomez, Ed Sheeran, Machine Gun Kelly, Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid.
Morris admitted that she was overwhelmed by the number of recognizable people gathered inside Madison Square Garden. “I feel like my neck hurt by the end of the night because I just kept turning my head around seeing people I never thought I’d see before in person,” she said with a laugh.
The wedding also allowed Morris to meet new people and reunite with longtime friends she “hadn’t seen in a long time.”
Maren Morris Left The Wedding Feeling Hopeful About Love
Beyond the celebrity sightings and elaborate details, Morris said the couple’s relationship was what made the strongest impression on her. “It’s always an honor, and it’s inspiring when you go to a wedding and you feel this huge dose of hope for love. I think we all felt it that night for them,” the mother of one shared. “It was really fun.”
The singer finalized her divorce from Ryan Hurd in January 2024 after five years of marriage. The former couple share their six-year-old son, Hayes, and have continued co-parenting while living only minutes apart in Nashville. Morris later came out as bisexual in 2024
Although Morris has experienced her own major personal changes in recent years, witnessing Swift and Kelce’s commitment appeared to leave her feeling optimistic about romance.
Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Wore Custom Designer Looks
Swift and Kelce’s ceremony outfits were created by Christian Dior Haute Couture and designed by Jonathan Anderson, the creative director of Dior Women’s, Men’s and Haute Couture Collections.
Anderson reportedly collaborated closely with both the bride and groom to create looks suited to the scale and style of their Madison Square Garden ceremony.
Their shoes were custom-designed by Christian Louboutin, while Swift completed her bridal ensemble with Cartier jewelry.
The tables turned this weekend, with Spider-Man: Brand New Day getting the Marvel Cinematic Universe back on track after an uneven last few years. Still the highest-grossing film franchise of all time, the MCU delivered its first few bombs recently, after seemingly being infallible for the better part of 15 years. The Marvels grossed just around $200 million worldwide, while Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania fell short of both its predecessors. Even the hotly marketed The Fantastic Four: First Steps and Thunderbolts* underperformed in relation to their budgets. But Spider-Man: Brand New Day not only broke the opening-weekend box office records of its predecessor, Spider-Man: No Way Home, but it nearly delivered the biggest debut of all time.
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and headlined by Tom Holland, the movie broke Avengers: Endgame‘s opening-day record at the domestic box office, grossing $168 million. By comparison, Avengers: Endgame grossed $157 million in its first day of release in 2019. The superhero team-up, directed by the Russo Brothers, ultimately made $357 million domestically and around $1.2 billion worldwide in its debut frame, setting incredible records that seemed almost impossible to break. Remember, it was only in 2002 that Sam Raimi‘s original Spider-Man hit became the first film in history to gross more than $100 million in its domestic debut weekend. Holland’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, on the other hand, grossed $260 million in its domestic debut in 2021. This record has now been broken by Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
Here’s How Much ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Has Grossed at the Box Office
Positioned as the start of a new trilogy, the movie grossed $355 million domestically and $875 million worldwide in its first frame. This puts it at the number-two spots on the all-time lists, trailing Avengers: Endgame on both. Spider-Man: Brand New Day also features Jon Bernthal as the Punisher, with Zendaya and Jacob Batalon returning from previous installments as M.J. and Ned, respectively. Produced on a reported budget of $225 million, the new movie opened to near-unanimous praise. It now holds a “Certified Fresh” 90% critics’ score and “Verified Hot” 98% audience score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “Spinning a web of spectacular set pieces together with mature emotional stakes and Tom Holland’s soulful performance, Brand New Day is a promising reset that portends Spidey will remain sticky on the big screen for years to come.” With this opening weekend haul, the movie has overtaken the lifetime global grosses of past superhero movies such as Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and Thor: Ragnarok. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Paramount+’s ‘Resurrection’ of a Long-Dormant Crime Thriller Is Killing It on Streaming
Once it was added to Netflix a few years ago, the Dexter franchise experienced quite the resurrection — no pun intended. Dexter had long been one of the most popular shows of the 2000s, but it’s safe to say that fans had come to terms with there not being any more content from the franchise after the ill-fated New Blood season. Dexter’s resurgence on Netflix and subsequent success on Paramount Plus forced Paramount to begin developing new Dexter shows, and the first to hit the small screen was Dexter: Original Sin. The prequel series starred Patrick Gibson (007 First Light) as a young Dexter Morgan, and despite it being renewed for Season 2, Paramount ultimately changed its mind and decided to cancel the show. This left only one Dexter series left standing, and it’s officially picking up steam for Season 2.
Last year in June, Paramount brought back Michael C. Hall to play Dexter in Dexter: Resurrection, the sequel series set after the events of the flagship Dexter show and New Blood. Paramount also recruited Uma Thurman and Peter Dinklage for key roles in Dexter: Resurrection, but only Thurman is coming back for Season 2, which is already confirmed to be released this October. As fans continue to revisit the Dexter franchise, shows like Dexter: Resurrection have surged back into the top 10 before the arrival of its new season. Even Dexter: Original Sin is having a streaming resurgence right now, as fans demand that Paramount bring the show back for another season. There was also a planned Trinity Killer spin-off starring John Lithgow, but Dexter creator Clyde Phillips confirmed that the spin-off had been put on ice, so to speak.
Has ‘Dexter: Resurrection’ Been Renewed for Season 3?
Paramount has yet to decide the fate of Dexter: Resurrection after Season 2, and after the other Dexter shows had the axe brought down on them, the future of the series is anything but certain. The news about Dexter: Resurrection Season 3 likely won’t be decided until the studio has had time to analyze how Season 2 performs, but Dexter fans are most certainly going to show up in droves to make sure the show isn’t canceled after two seasons. Famed for his role in Succession, Brian Cox has also joined the cast of Dexter: Resurrection Season 2.
Check out the first season of Dexter: Resurrection on Paramount Plus and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of the Dexter franchise.

With the upcoming eleventh and final installment of the Fast and Furious franchise currently in the ‘Vin Diesel shares updates on Instagram’ stage of production, director Louis Leterrier‘s schedule has cleared up considerably in the last couple of years. He made the most of his time. While Universal was clearly negotiating the return of dozens of stars for the final chapter of the Fast saga, which will probably turn out to be one of the most expensive movies ever made, Leterrier directed two feature films. The Apple TV original film Liminal, starring Vanessa Kirby and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, began filming in May. But Leterrier’s first new film since Fast X is just around the corner.
The upcoming film is headlined by Past Lives breakout Greta Lee and recent Oscar nominee Wagner Moura. They play a couple who are trapped in their house with their children, unable to escape while a mysterious threat looms outside. It’s like The Squid and the Whale meets The Mist, but for a Netflix audience. Leterrier previously worked with Netflix on the stop-motion fantasy series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, the blockbuster heist series Lupin, and the action comedy The Takedown. He is slated to return as the director of the final Fast and Furious movie, which Diesel recently confirmed has a finished script.
Here’s When You Can Watch Greta Lee and Wagner Moura’s Sci-Fi Movie on Netflix
Leterrier’s new sci-fi movie with Lee and Moura is titled The Last House. It’ll be released on Netflix on August 7. After breaking out with the Oscar-nominated Past Lives, Lee appeared in the box-office underperformer Tron: Ares and the critically acclaimed Apple TV comedy series The Studio. She also voiced the antagonist in the recently released Pixar movie Toy Story 5, which has grossed over $1 billion at the worldwide box office. Moura, of course, broke out with Netflix’s Narcos over a decade ago. In 2025, he starred in the critically acclaimed Brazilian film The Secret Agent, which received a Best Picture nod at the Oscars in addition to earning Moura his first Best Actor nomination. Earlier this year, he voiced a character in the Disney+ animated series Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
