Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem 2

In conversation with Screen Rant, Rose Byrne revealed she isn’t certain she’ll reprise her role as Leatherhead in the next Ninja Turtles movie, despite returning for the Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TV series at Paramount+.

I’m gonna call Seth [Rogen] right now. Where’s my part? I was doing a TV show version. So, I’m gonna call Seth. Where’s our favorite character? Where’s America’s favorite character?

Mickey 17

Speaking with Vanity Fair, Robert Pattinson praised Mickey 17 for “normalizing space travel” to the point of overwhelming public disinterest.

I like how much it normalizes space travel. It reminds me of when all these news stories came basically saying that aliens exist on earth, after years and years and years. Literally the president basically says, “Yeah, there are aliens.” And everyone’s forgotten. They’re on TikTok again two seconds later. That’s the attitude about space travel…. It’s not like what you see in normal sci-fi movies, where there’s a gravitas to it. With Mickey, it’s just the same old shit. You go from the other side of the universe and you’ve still just got an awful boss. Everyone’s treating you like shit. There’s no respite on the other side of the universe. It’s worse.
