Captain America: Brave New World Funko Pops Reveal Closer Look At New Falcon And Villainous Red Hulk
Captain America: Brave New World was supposed to be released this year, but like many movies, it got caught up in the WGA/SAG-AFTRA strikes that lasted for several months in 2023.
Not helping matters is the fact Marvel Studios decided the movie needed extensive reshoots which are believed to have reshaped much of the story and action scenes, adding and removing certain characters.
All this chaos has seen Happy Meal toys arrive in McDonald's close to a year before Captain America: Brave New World's theatrical release and we now have a first look at some upcoming Funko Pops.
As you can see, we're getting Sam Wilson/Captain America, Joaquin Torres/The Falcon, President Ross, and the formidable Red Hulk. There are no major surprises here, especially as Red Hulk looks exactly like you'd probably expect (it's a shame there are no flames as that would have confirmed one of...

If you’re not already watching Shōgun on FX (or FX on Hulu), what are you even doing? The 2024 Emmy Awards aired last night on Sunday, Sept. 15, and the historical drama won big!
Shōgun created by Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks, is based on the 1975 novel of the same name by James Clavell. The series stars Hiroyuki Sanada, Cosmo Jarvis, Anna Sawai, Tadanobu, Takehiro Hira, and others. One thing to love about Shōgun is its authenticity as it features a mostly Japanese cast and Japanese language dialogue.
The story follows the journeys of two men: John Blackthorne, an English sailor who is known as a risk-taker, and Lord Toranaga, a member of the five Council of Five Elders ruling Japan.
The series first premiered on FX on Hulu and FX, and was set to be a miniseries, which means no second season was in the plans. However, due to its popularity,...

FX’s and Hulu’s Shōgun, which is based on James Clavell’s 1975 novel of the same name, became a huge series. The series ended relatively recently, and while early rumors suggested that a second season would not be made due to the first season adapting the whole book, we received confirmation that a second and third season are in the works currently, promising a bright future for the series.
We have recently reported how the series won a record-breaking 14 Creative Arts Emmys (out of 17 nominations), and how – with 25 nominations in total – it was the favorite to win big at the main ceremony as well. Baby Reindeer conquered the miniseries category, The Bear won big in the comedy section and…

“Shōgun” is the new Emmy standard.
The FX drama extended its record for most Emmys won by a series in a single year at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards by picking up four more wins, bringing its total to a staggering 18. “Shōgun” already made history last weekend at the Creative Arts Emmys when it collected 14 awards, easily surpassing the previous record for a drama series set in 2015 and 2019 by “Game of Thrones,” when it won 12. The HBO limited series “John Adams” took home 13 Emmys in 2008 and held first place for the TV show — comedy, drama or limited series — with the biggest haul…until “Shōgun” breezed onto the scene.
During the main ceremony, “Shōgun” picked up several top awards, though not nearly as many or as quickly and steadily as some had predicted. After a slow start, it won Emmys for drama series, lead drama actress for Anna Sawai, lead drama...

The 76th Primetime Emmy Awards just aired on ABC, and things went about as expected. In other words, the excellent historical drama Shōgun won Best Drama Series; the caustic slice-of-life series The Bear won Best Comedy Series, since I guess it's a little more like a comedy than Shōgun; and the autobiographical stalker drama Baby Reindeer won Best Limited or Anthology Series.
Those three were the big winners of the night, with them each taking home four awards. Jeremy Allen White won Best Actor In A Comedy Series as expected, and his costar Ebon Moss-Bachrach won Best Supporting Actor. On the drama side, Hiroyuki Sanada won Best Actor and Anna Sawai won Best Actress; she was the one I was really invested in. She was magnificent as Mariko and if she hadn't won I would have been forced to write a strongly worded letter to whoever votes in these things.

“The Bear” cleaned up at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards, just not in the final category as so many experts predicted. And “Shōgun” proved more vulnerable than expected, not winning a single Emmy until two hours and 20 minutes into the show.
Below, the 7 biggest unexpected moments of the night.
Billy Crudup Beats Tadanobu Asano and Takehiro Hira from “Shōgun”
Yes, Crudup won this category in 2020 for “The Morning Show,” but that was in the pre-“Shōgun” times. And considering Crudup was up against two other “Morning Show” cast members, Mark Duplass and Jon Hamm, it seemed likely that that voters would split the vote among the three of them, opening up a potential path to victory for Tadanobu Asano from “Shōgun” — or his cast mate Takehiro Hira. In the end, voters more likely split the “Shōgun” vote, clearing the way for Crudup’s second win.

Shōgun proved its staying power on Sunday night with a record-breaking 18 Emmy Award wins, including one for Outstanding Drama Series.
A year after the category featured frequently nominated, multi-season stalwarts like Succession, The Crown, Better Call Saul, and Yellowjackets, only one of this year’s nominees — The Crown — had been up for Outstanding Drama Series before. The rest of the nominated dramas were either coming off an acclaimed first season (Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Fallout, 3 Body Solution, and Shōgun) or finally getting some well-earned Emmy recognition (Slow Horses, The Gilded Age,...

Anna Sawai made history after winning the Emmy for best drama actress for Shogun during Sunday night’s 2024 Emmys.
With her first Emmy win, Sawai became the first actress of Asian descent to win in the lead actress in a drama series category at the Emmys.
Sawai was nominated alongside Jennifer Aniston (The Morning Show), Carrie Coon (The Gilded Age), Maya Erskine (Mr. and Mrs. Smith), Imelda Staunton (The Crown) and Reese Witherspoon (The Morning Show).
When taking the stage, a visibly emotional Sawai quipped, “I was crying before my name was announced. I’m a mess today.”
She began her speech by thanking the Academy for nominating her alongside people she “grew up watching and love.” She went on to thank the FX team for “believing in our story” as well as co-creators Justin Marks and Rachel Kondo for giving her “the role of a lifetime” as Lady Mariko.

A night of nostalgia, a Baby Reindeer sweep and an incredible launching pad for the upcoming seasons of The Bear and Shōgun made up the 76th annual Primetime Emmys on Sunday.
While the Family Levy didn’t exactly rock the L.A.’s Peacock Theater as the first father-and-son hosts, breakout moments came courtesy of TV’s old guard and Jodie Foster’s first Emmy win.
Here are some of the great moments, surprises and snubs from tonight’s telecast on ABC.
Great moment when Eugene Levy made a crack about The Bear‘s record wins in the comedy category and how, well, it’s hardly a knee-slapping series. “In the true spirit of The Bear we will not be making any jokes.”

The star of FX’s historical epic Shōgun just made some history of her own.
Anna Sawai won the Emmy for best lead actress in a drama series at Sunday’s ceremony, making her the first Japanese actress to win an Emmy. She was in tears as she accepted the award, but she admitted in her speech: “I was crying before my name was announced. I’m a mess today.” She thanked the Shōgun cast and crew and her mother, offering a tribute to “the women who expect nothing and continue to be an example for everyone.”

“Shōgun” star Anna Sawai made history as the first Asian performer to win Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday. Sawai was honored for her captivating leading performance as Lady Toda Mariko in the acclaimed FX series.
Her historic Emmy win comes six years after Sandra Oh became the first Asian performer to be nominated in the lead drama actress category in 2018 for BBC America’s “Killing Eve.” Oh was nominated three more times for the same role, but never won.
Sawai wasn’t the only Asian actress hoping to make a stamp on history. Maya Erskine was also nominated in Sawai’s category for her lead role in Prime Video’s “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.”
Sawai, who was born in New Zealand to Japanese parents and is mainly based in Japan, was considered the frontrunner to win her category, which had heavy competition.

Hiroyuki Sanada became the second Asian performer to win Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his role in FX’s “Shōgun” at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday. The prolific Japanese actor was recognized for his portrayal of Lord Yoshii Toranaga in the first season of the drama series.
With the acting Emmy win — Sanada’s first of his six decade–long career — he follows in the footsteps of Lee Jung-jae’s history-making accomplishment in 2022 when Lee became the first Asian actor to win the lead drama actor Emmy for Netflix’s non-English series “Squid Game.”
Nominated alongside Sanada were Gary Oldman (“Slow Horses”), Donald Glover (“Mr. & Mrs. Smith”), Dominic West (“The Crown”), Idris Elba (“Hijack”) and Walton Goggins (“Fallout”).

“Shōgun” has gone from critical darling to Emmys juggernaut, but plenty may not have taken the dive into this period Japanese world just yet.

The result is one of the most thrilling, emotional and engrossing shows of the year.

TV’s biggest night is back for a second time this year, with the 76th Annual Emmy Awards back to their regularly-scheduled September ceremony. The impact of 2023’s Hollywood strikes is still rippling through the industry — including through the 75th Emmys, which took place earlier this year, in January — but the 2023-2024 Emmy nominees delivered another excellent year of television.
Despite the back-to-back ceremonies, the Emmys eligibility period holds strong; this ceremony will honor TV shows that premiered between June 2023 and May 2024. That includes pre-strike premieres like “The Bear” Season 2 and spring 2024 hits like “Hacks” Season 3. This was the first year without a lot of usual suspects in the Emmy race, such as “Succession,” “Ted Lasso,” “Barry,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” other favorites like “The Gilded Age,” “The Bear,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and “The Crown” are still in the running.

When Kieran Culkin won the 2023 Best Drama Actor Emmy for his 20-minute and 44-second performance in the “Church and State” episode of “Succession,” he had a lower amount of physical screen time than all but one of his challengers. Now, five of the category’s newest candidates fall far below his total, with none even cracking 30 minutes as four comfortably did last year.
The six current drama actor contenders asked voters to consider their work in episodes in which they appear for an average of 14 minutes and 34 seconds (or 31.67% of the total running time). This data was calculated using a simple definition of stand-alone screen time, which is any time a given performer can be seen on screen or heard off screen. Contiguous moments of silent and non-visible scene time were not counted.
This group’s physical average is nearly half the size of the corresponding female one, whereas the...

In terms of physical time on screen, Matthew Macfadyen’s back-to-back Emmy-winning performances in the “All the Bells Say” and “Tailgate Party” episodes of “Succession” are separated by a margin of six minutes and 44 seconds. His lauded turns are respectively shorter and longer than the average one vying for the 2024 Best Drama Supporting Actor prize, with his first aligning more closely with the new lineup’s actual screen time mean.
The seven current drama supporting actor contenders submitted performances that last for an average of 10 minutes and 13 seconds, or 20.01% of their single episodes. This data was calculated using a simple definition of stand-alone screen time, which is any time a given performer can be seen on screen or heard off screen. Contiguous moments of silent and non-visible scene time were not counted.

We thought there was a chance “Shōgun” would break the “Game of Thrones” record for the most Emmy wins for a drama in a single season (12), or maybe even the “John Adams” record for the most wins for any program in a single year (13). But few could have anticipated that it would break those records in just one night at the Creative Arts Awards. It collected a remarkable 14 trophies on Sunday night, and it has the chance for several more on September 15. Chief among those is Best Drama Series, where it’s — no surprise here — the overwhelming favorite to win based on the combined predictions of Gold Derby users.

Political horror comedy Rumours is coming this October and a weird first trailer has been released to herald the film’s arrival.
Here’s one of the more bizarre teaser trailers we’ve seen in a while, kicking off the promotional campaign for Rumours, an upcoming political horror comedy that is set to release in October. That places the film’s launch just before the US presidential elections although whether the film is going to satirise that particular political showdown, is as yet unclear.
In fact, the whole teaser trailer is rather unclear. It’s a series non-sequiturs, the unconnected and random nature of it giving the whole thing a rather random, surreal quality. At one point a huge brain appears. What we do know is this: Rumours focuses on ‘the leaders of the seven nations comprising the G7, who meet for their annual summit but get lost in the...

The first teaser for Cate Blanchett‘s new movie has been released!
On Wednesday (August 28), Bleecker Street debuted the teaser trailer for Rumours, which the 55-year-old two-time Oscar-winning actress stars in alongside Alicia Vikander, Roy Dupuis, Charles Dance, Denis Ménochet, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Rolando Ravello, Takehiro Hira, and Zlatko Buri.
Written and directed by Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson, the movie “centers on the leaders of the seven nations comprising the G7, who meet for their annual summit but get lost in the woods and must still draft a statement addressing a worldwide crisis,” according to THR.
That same day, Cate wowed in a champagne-colored dress as she attended the premiere of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice held during Opening Night of the 2024 Venice Film Festival in Venice, Italy.
Rumours will be out in theaters on Oct. 18.

"The giant brain!!" Bleecker Street has revealed the first teaser trailer for Rumours, an extra funky dark comedy about politics from the filmmakers Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson and Galen Johnson. This oriignally premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year to mostly mixed to negative reviews, as it burns out pretty quickly after a hilarious start. In times of global crisis, the brightest and biggest brains of the free world gather to provide leadership. The "wildly entertaining" Rumours film is an apocalyptic horror-comedy about how dumb politicians really are. The leaders of seven wealthy democracies come together during a G7 summit in Germany. But they end up getting lost in the woods when everyone else suddenly disappears and they can't where to go, facing danger as they attempt to find their way out. The ensemble cast of politicians features Cate Blanchett (Germany), Roy Dupuis (Canada), Nikki Amuka-Bird (UK), Charles Dance...

Bleecker Street has shared a first look at the black comedy Rumours, directed by Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson. Rumours will open in theaters on October 18, 2024.
The movie, which was rated R for some sexual content/partial nudity and violent content, had its World Premiere at the 77th Cannes Film Festival in May 2024.
Ricocheting between comedy, apocalyptic horror, and swooning soap opera, Rumours follows the seven leaders of the world’s wealthiest democracies at the annual G7 summit, where they attempt to draft a provisional statement regarding a global crisis.
With unexpected, uproarious performances from a brilliant ensemble cast that includes Cate Blanchett, Alicia Vikander, and Charles Dance, these so-called leaders become spectacles of incompetence, contending with increasingly surreal obstacles in the misty woods as night falls and they realize they are suddenly alone.

Bleecker Street’s Rumours teaser trailer is weird. Really weird, but in a good way.
Described as part political satire, part pulp horror comedy, Rumours‘ big-name cast includes Cate Blanchett, Charles Dance, Alicia Vikander, Roy Dupuis, Nikki Amuka-Bird, and Takehiro Hira. Denis Ménochet, Rolando Ravello, and Zlatko Buric also star.
“Ricocheting between comedy, apocalyptic horror, and swooning soap opera, Rumours follows the seven leaders of the world’s wealthiest democracies at the annual G7 summit, where they attempt to draft a provisional statement regarding a global crisis,” reads Bleecker Street’s synopsis. “These so-called leaders become spectacles of incompetence, contending with increasingly surreal obstacles in the misty woods as night falls and they realize they are suddenly alone. A genre-hopping satire of political ineptitude, the latest film from incomparable directors Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson is a journey into the absurd heart of power and institutional failure in a slowly burning world.

There’s a lot to think about in the teaser trailer for Rumours, which features Cate Blanchett, Alicia Vikander and, for reasons that are not immediately clear, an oversized brain.
Bleecker Street releases filmmaker Guy Maddin’s politically themed horror-comedy movie in theaters Oct. 18, just ahead of this November’s presidential election. The film premiered earlier this year at the Cannes Film Festival and co-stars Roy Dupuis, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Charles Dance, Takehiro Hira, Denis Ménochet, Rolando Ravello and Zlatko Buric.
Rumours centers on the leaders of the seven nations comprising the G7, who meet for their annual summit but get lost in the woods and must still draft a statement addressing a worldwide crisis.
The film’s first released footage does not reveal much about the plot but does tease the terror that lurks in the misty woods as the politicians assess their situation. At one point, a character succinctly exclaims,...

Cate Blanchett may only now be playing a world leader, but this international icon is already ruling 2024.
The actress leads “Rumours,” which premiered at Cannes and will go on to screen at TIFF and NYFF. The feature is the latest collaboration between Guy Maddin and brothers Evan and Galen Johnson after “The Forbidden Room” in 2015. The trio co-wrote and directed the political satire film that is billed as being a combination of “comedy, apocalyptic horror, and swooning soap opera” per the logline.
“Rumours” follows the seven leaders of the world’s wealthiest democracies at the annual G7 summit, which is hosted by Blanchett’s character, the Chancellor of Germany. The international politicians are tasked with drafting a provisional statement regarding a global crisis while at the summit; of course, things go awry.

In 2015, “Game of Thrones” set a record for winning the most Primetime Emmy Awards for a drama series in a single year, with 12. The HBO juggernaut was able to repeat that feat in 2016 and 2019, but was never able to win more than a dozen trophies in one season. This year, a brand new series from FX looks poised to break that record, as “Shōgun” leads all contenders with 25 nominations.
“Shōgun,” based on James Clavell’s bestselling novel, is set in Japan in the year 1600, at the dawn of a century-defining civil war. Lord Yoshii Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada) is fighting for his life as his enemies on the Council of Regents unite against him, when a mysterious European ship is found marooned in a nearby fishing village. The FX series created by Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks premiered on February 27, 2024 and the season finale aired April 23, 2024. It is currently available to stream on Hulu.

It’s something of an understatement to suggest that Takehiro Hira wasn’t expecting an Emmy nomination for his role as Ishido Kazunari on FX’s breakout series “Shōgun.” Instead, he landed an Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series nom and became part of an epic 25 nominations that saw four of his co-stars also earning Emmy recognition. Without providing spoilers and due to narrative reasons, a number of his colleagues won’t be returning for the show’s already-announced second season.

It’s happening. Or, better put, it’s about to happen. It’s not over just yet — not officially — but after FX successfully shifted “Shōgun” from the Limited Series categories to Drama, all indications point toward a big night for the international epic at this year’s (second) Primetime Emmy Awards. Maybe even a record-setting night. After all, before the move, the Drama contenders weren’t exactly peak TV. Maybe they were Peak TV contenders, in that they were the result of too much television overwhelming voters with big, expensive options and distracting them from lesser-known, higher-quality programming, but they weren’t peak TV in the sense that these shows ascended to the qualitative top of our nation’s mountain of television.
Got all that? Well then you likely remember that earlier in the awards cycle, we looked at whether “Shōgun” could break the Emmy record for most wins in...

The Emmy race for Supporting Actor in a Drama Series is truly an international affair this time around, with actors from the UK and Japan taking on their American counterparts for the big prize. But who should take home the gold in this Olympic year?
Thanks to FX’s sweeping epic Shōgun, two Japanese actors are enjoying their first career Emmy nominations: Tadanobu Asano, who played scruffy scoundrel Yabushige; and Takehiro Hira, as scheming lord Ishido. Two British actors are in the mix, as well: Jonathan Pryce, for playing Prince Philip on Netflix’s royal drama The Crown; and Jack Lowden,...

Billy Crudup (“The Morning Show”) continues to lead our Emmy odds for Best Drama Supporting Actor, but the race is tightening. Many of our pundits expect Tadanobu Asano (“Shogun”) to prevail in what could be a clean sweep of prime time telecast categories for the FX historical drama.
SEE2024 Gold Derby TV Awards winners: ‘The Bear’ and ‘Shogun’ dominate with 6 apiece [Watch many acceptance speeches]
Crudup benefits from the fact that he’s already a proven winner for “The Morning Show.” In fact, the only Primetime Emmy the Apple TV+ series has won to date was for Crudup’s performance in 2020 for the show’s inaugural season. And back then the show had far less overall support from the TV academy than it has now.

Crudup benefits from the fact that he’s already a proven winner for “The Morning Show.” In fact, the only Primetime Emmy the Apple TV+ series has won to date was for Crudup’s performance in 2020 for the show’s inaugural season. And back then the show had far less overall support from the TV academy than it has now. It was nominated for eight awards that year, compared to 16 this year including its first ever bid for Best Drama Series. So it’s perhaps no surprise that Crudup...

Welcome to My Favorite Scene! In this series, IndieWire speaks to actors behind a few of our favorite television performances about their personal-best onscreen moment and how it came together.
“Shōgun” star Anna Sawai will readily admit that watching herself on screen is not her favorite pastime. “Actors have this all the time, but they see little things that they wish they could change,” said the current Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie Emmy nominee to IndieWire over Zoom, while discussing how she determined which of her scenes in the hit FX series is her favorite.
Anyone who has seen the latest adaptation of James Clavell’s 1975 novel, created by Justin Marks and Rachel Kondo, and leading Emmy nominations this year with 25 nods, could probably guess Sawai would choose something from the penultimate episode “Crimson Sky,” in which she gives a tour-de-force performance as Lady Mariko.

With Shōgun, the epic drama series from FX based on James Clavell’s epic 1975 novel, veteran Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada’s work pushed past any subtitle barriers to earn the show a massive worldwide following that includes 25 Emmy nominations. Sanada stars as Lord Toranaga, the ultimate strategist, whose intricate web ultimately served to unify 17th century Japan. And Sanada was not unfamiliar with the character, since in 1989’s Oda Nobunaga, he had played Tokugawa Ieyasu, the real-life man who inspired the Toranaga character.
Sanada’s epic career began at the age of just 6, and he is best known internationally for such films as The Last Samurai, Speed Racer and Bullet Train, along with the shows Lost and Westworld. Here, he describes what the role meant to him and how, as a first-time producer, he found profound meaning in bringing a culturally accurate depiction of Japan to life.
Deadline: Congratulations on your Emmy nomination.

In the first episode, I feel that she’s very closed up. She’s never been tasked to become an interpreter or have any kind of important role in this male-dominant society,” Anna Sawai says of Lady Mariko, the character she plays in FX’s “Shōgun.”
In “Shōgun,” which is based on James Clavell’s novel of the same name and set in 1600 feudal
Japan, Lady Mariko is placed in charge of translating for Lord Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada) and Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis), a ship’s captain who enters a society as it prepares for war.
Initially, Lady Mariko is wary and doesn’t fully trust Blackthorne. She’s also been given a new purpose: “If she’s able to serve her Lord and his needs — which is to help him understand who this barbarian is — then she’s happy to do that,” Sawai explains.
