Guess who’s back? Back again? Zemo’s back, tell a friend. Daniel Brühl has officially suited back up as Baron Zemo for his long-awaited return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, having last appeared in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Zemo looks like he’s up to his old tricks.

Brühl’s Zemo appears in the advert from his hidden base, where he is seen playing a Villains deck from the new Marvel Magic: The Gathering set. It is a fairly light-hearted bit of marketing, but it also marks the first time Brühl has stepped back into character since The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. What’s different this time around is Zemo’s outfit. His new purple jacket feels a lot closer to the character we know from the comic books. Zemo’s costume, on the page, has long used colors like magenta and purple. Admittedly, he doesn’t have the full purple mask this time around, but the overall silhouette still feels like a clear nod to his more traditional Marvel design.

How Many MCU Appearances Does Daniel Brühl Have?

The German first played Helmut Zemo in Captain America: Civil War, where the Sokovian colonel set out to destroy the Avengers from within after losing his family during the Battle of Sokovia. His plan ultimately worked better than anyone’s, splitting Earth’s Mightiest Heroes before he was taken into custody by T’Challa.

He returned in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, teaming with Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes to take down the Flag Smashers. That series finally gave Zemo a more overtly comic-inspired supervillain look, complete with his iconic purple mask, gloves, and long coat, but what we remember most of all is his outstanding dance moves that quickly went viral. By the end of the show, though, he was sent back to the Raft, where he has remained ever since, to our disappointment. Now, this ad may not exactly be considered canon but at least it proves that Zemo is still close to Brühl’s heart and that he’s able to slip right into the character whenever he feels like it.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War are both available to stream now on Disney+.

DJ Jewelz Blu is stepping into the booth at one of Europe’s biggest bass music festivals, and she’s bringing serious credentials with her. The content creator and longtime drum and bass enthusiast is making her festival debut at Rampage Belgium with UK-based producer Sudley, and the two are playing a B2B set that’s been months in the making.

What many fans don’t realize is that Jewelz has deep musical roots. She grew up playing multiple instruments and has been a dedicated member of the EDM and drum-and-bass community for years. This isn’t a celebrity dipping her toes into music for a quick headline. This is a lifelong passion finally getting its moment.

“People see one side of me, but I’ve always had this other world,” Jewelz explained. “I grew up surrounded by music, playing instruments, and I’ve been obsessed with drum and bass for the longest time. When the opportunity came to actually DJ my first festival, especially with someone as talented as Sudley, I couldn’t pass it up.”

Meeting the Master: Why Sudley Was the Perfect Partner

Sudley isn’t just any producer. The England-born artist has spent over a decade shaping the drum and bass scene, cutting his teeth in Bristol’s legendary underground rave circuit. That connection to the most influential bass music city in the UK runs deep in his DNA. These days, he’s built bridges between the UK scene and both coasts of the US, constantly traveling and making meaningful connections with the movement’s leaders.

His credibility was the seal Jewelz needed. They’ve already turned heads in the DNB community as a couple, but taking that chemistry into a festival B2B is a whole different beast.

What to Expect From the Rampage Set

The pair has crafted an hour-long journey through genre mashups, original bootlegs, remixes, and euphoric blends that define Sudley’s signature dancefloor, vocal-driven sound. They’ve built this set together from the ground up, carefully selecting every tune and loading in surprises.

“We’ve painstakingly crafted this together,” Jewelz said. “It’s more than just throwing on records. Every moment is intentional, and we’re bringing some things people won’t expect.”

A Moment for Growth

Rampage Festival is one of the biggest bass music festivals in the world, which makes this debut anything but small. For Jewelz, it represents a full-circle moment. She’s moving beyond being known for one thing and stepping into a space where her diverse talents can shine. The musical background, the passion for drum and bass, the chemistry with her partner—all of it comes together in this set.

This is what happens when you give someone the space to be more than the box people try to put her in.

“Truth Hurts” singer Lizzo is opening up about the private struggles she’s been facing after her latest album, “B-TCH,” failed to chart on the Billboard 200. The album’s performance has been debated across social media platforms over the last week, as Lizzo, whose real name is Melissa Jefferson, shared an emotional message revealing she’s been struggling behind the scenes while thanking fans for their continued support. Despite the criticism, Lizzo said she had something to celebrate in her latest update: her single “About D-mn Time” became her second song to surpass 1 billion streams.

Lizzo, 38, uploaded a dramatic photo of herself to her X account. In the caption, she spoke openly about some of the difficult challenges she’s been facing over the last several weeks.

“I’m weeping on the floor; nobody knows what I’ve been going through privately. Its [sic] been a roller coaster,” she said. “Sometimes I feel like my hands are tied behind my back and life is whooping my a**.”

Lizzo went on to say that regardless of the struggles, she’s chosen to show up “EVERY DAY” to “declare victory” over her life and her career.

Lizzo’s confession came weeks after the singer made headlines for her latest album’s poor performance. According to The Blast, the record sold less than 3,000 copies in its first week, and only 650 in the second.

Lizzo Says She’s ‘Working’ Hard And Pouring Into The People Who Have Poured Into Her

Lizzo implied that the negative reaction to her album hasn’t deterred her. She said she’s been “working my a** off” and spending time with people whom she loves.

“I am truly blessed and covered, and God is reminding me who I am and what He made me to do. No weapon formed against me will prosper, no vicious attacks from people who don’t even know me will stick,” she said.

Lizzo added, “I will continue to glow and shine, because that’s what I do. TO EVERYONE WHO HAS SHOWN ME LOVE ON THE INTERNET AND REAL LIFE I LOVE YOU.”

And to wrap up her post, Lizzo pointed out that not everything has been bad, revealing that “About D-mn Time,” her 2022 single, had reached 1 billion streams.

Lizzo Says She Took The Lackluster Response To Her Last Album ‘To Heart’

Following the release of “B-TCH,” Lizzo appeared on the “Swiftologist” podcast and revealed she was upset over how her album was received.

“I think right now, dropping the album, I took it to heart really, really heavily,” she said. “I hurt my own feelings, and I was really stressed, and I was really sad for a few days because I just was like, ‘Wait a minute, this is like some of my best stuff.’”

Before the project’s release, Lizzo hinted that she was worried about how it would perform, considering her record label, Atlantic, allegedly failed to promote it the way she believed it should’ve been.

“… I’m crashing out on my label right now because I just really like – I feel like there’s not any marketing money being put toward my ideas,” she said in a TikTok video.

The Detroit Native Said TikTok Was Hating On Her Latest Album

In another post, Lizzo crashed out on the popular social media platform for allegedly plotting against her. In the video, the “Soulmate” singer claimed TikTok was purposefully hiding videos of her promoting her project.

“My album is out today, and TikTok continues to be a hater,” she said, adding that TikTok has made her videos “ineligible for recommendation.”

“And when I want to promote my album, you don’t want to recommend it to my fans?” she continued. “Well, honey, I’m on my main page to let y’all know that my album is out TODAY. Go run it up. To all of the 26 million people who love me, go get my album; it’s out today. Woo!”

Lizzy Is Also Working On Something Else…

In addition to her music, Lizzo is also set to release her first children’s book, “Lil Lizzo Meets Sasha B. Flootin’,” in September 2026. Speaking with USA Today, the singer said the book carries the same empowering message that has long defined her music.

“It’s about trusting yourself and believing in who you are. The character goes on this adventure trying to find her identity in all these different places, but she realizes it’s been within her the whole time. I also want kids to get excited about music, about playing an instrument, about being creative. That’s what saved me when I was young. And honestly, I just want it to be fun. I want it to feel like music on the page,” she said.

Seth Rogen has weighed in on the long-running theory about why Anne Hathaway quit her role in “Knocked Up.”

Hathaway was set to play a lead role in the classic 2007 comedy alongside the actor, but was eventually replaced by Katherine Heigl. The film ultimately became a commercial success despite Hathaway’s decision at the time.

Anne Hathaway’s decision to leave “Knocked Up” in 2007 has long remained one of the film’s biggest behind-the-scenes talking points, particularly because it was no secret that she was originally cast to star before being replaced by Katherine Heigl.

Nearly two decades later, the film’s lead male actor, Seth Rogen, revisited the topic in a new interview on “The A24 Podcast” alongside Olivia Wilde, who also auditioned for the role but ultimately did not land the part.

Wilde asked whether the narrative that Hathaway quit over a crowning scene was true, to which Rogen initially answered in the affirmative before slightly backtracking, adding, “It could have been a hundred million things.”

However, he said he remembered being told that the crowning scene was the reason, describing it as “a tough one.”

Rogen Says Hathaway Felt The Scene Was Not Her ‘Brand’

Regarding the crowning scene, Rogen explained what Hathaway specifically took issue with and how it may have contributed to her decision to leave the film.

“She didn’t want the crowning of the baby to be visually representative. Even though it wasn’t going to be hers… It’s obviously not real. But she didn’t even want…she felt that it was not her brand,” the actor told his co-star and “The Invite” director.

Looking back on the moment, Rogen said he has no plans to question the claim.

“We had started rehearsing the movie… maybe she was just like, ‘I don’t know if this is for me.’ I don’t know. I will take what she said at face value, which was the crowning,” he added.

Seth Rogen Defends Hathaway’s Decision To Leave

In “Knocked Up,” Hathaway was meant to play Alison Scott, an ambitious TV producer who becomes pregnant after a one-night stand with Rogen’s character, Ben Stone.

The role was ultimately played by Heigl, and the film became a commercial success after its release in the summer of that year.

Despite the actress seemingly missing out on the potential accolades that could have come with playing the role, Rogen sees it as a matter of fate that she did not commit to the film.

“She had a sense, and she knew it was not for her,” Rogen continued. “And history will tell… she has been right about a lot more things than I have over the years.

“So, I think she was probably right. [Heigl] knew what was right for her, yes. And then Heigl was great. Katie Heigl was great,” he also noted.

Rogen Earns Praise For ‘The Invite’

Rogen recently returned to the big screen in Wilde’s film “The Invite,” in which he stars alongside Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton.

His performance as Joe has earned widespread praise from Wilde, who highlighted his emotional depth and comedic strength.

“Seth has this extraordinary ability to ground the most outrageously comic scenarios in such honesty. It’s like he has a pact with the audience where he respects them, but will never underestimate their intelligence,” she said.

“He’s sort of a comedy scientist who happens to have this deeply personal and emotional connection to the audience. With Seth as Joe, I wanted to warm people up with comedy, and then pierce their hearts with grounded emotional honesty,” the actress added.

Seth Rogen Opens Up About Working With Olivia Wilde

For Rogen, starring in the project came down to Wilde’s vision for the characters.

“When she described what she was hoping to do with ‘The Invite,’ I was interested in that collaborative process, developing the characters together over time and then reworking the script based on the new ideas that were emerging,” Rogen said of Wilde.

Reflecting further on his experience working with Wilde, Rogen explained what made the collaboration so enjoyable.

“She and I excelled at arguing with each other. Also, I tend to thrive comedically in situations where there’s a lot of tension and pressure and an underlying doom of some sort, and this was perfect for that,” he shared.

New sci-fi shows come out nearly every month on all the big streaming services, but it’s rare that one finds a foothold strong enough to stay around for a few years. Just look back to The Boroughs, Netflix’s big sci-fi gamble of 2026 that was even hailed as the platform’s next Stranger Things, with creatives and producers (Matt and Ross Duffer) admitting to plans beyond Season 1. However, despite a mostly positive reception, Netflix canceled the show while it was still sitting in the global top 10, setting a dangerous precedent going forward. One of Netflix’s biggest competitors, Prime Video, has found success in the sci-fi genre in recent years with a few shows, but perhaps none have become as popular as Fallout. Through two seasons, the show picked up over 100 million views.

When it came time to adapt Fallout, Prime Video made a decision that could be viewed as risky in telling a completely original story and not opting to adapt a game one-for-one. This ultimately worked out, as it allowed the show to introduce beloved new characters like Ghoul (played by Walton Goggins) and Lucy (played by Ella Purnell), while also bringing back beloved characters from the game such as Dogmeat. However, just because Prime Video’s Fallout is on top of the world right now before its third season doesn’t mean Bethesda is done sinking resources into its most recent single-player Fallout experience, Fallout 4. Earlier this week, the official Fallout X account announced the addition of a new Creation Club companion known as Miss Weldy, a chaotic automatron robot now available to download on all platforms.

When Does ‘Fallout’ Season 3 Come Out?

Prime Video has yet to set an official release date or window for Fallout Season 3, but production is gearing up to begin soon. Some big new casting additions have been announced in recent weeks leading up to the start of filming, including Breaking Bad veteran Aaron Paul and The Acolyte villain Manny Jacinto. Assuming the show does resume filming in the next few months, it can be safely said that it will certainly return sometime in 2027, but likely not before the end of 2026. Still, after the first season premiered in 2024 and Season 2 debuted at the turn of 2025/2026, three seasons in five years is as good as it gets during the streaming era for a sci-fi show with such a big budget.

Check out the first two seasons of Fallout on Prime Video and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Season 3.
