Brett Goldstein channeled a bit of Roy Kent energy to transform into Hercules — much to even his parents’ surprise. The “Ted Lasso” Emmy winner detailed his “Thor: Love and Thunder” post-credits cameo in an interview with Variety, explaining that he even had to convince his folks to check out the Marvel movie without revealing his surprise appearance. “I didn’t tell anyone because Marvel put a chip in my neck that said ‘If you talk about this you’re dead,’” Goldstein quipped....

Speaking of, the solution to these expected problems may have been to concentrate on Ken Watanabe instead, the Oscar-nominated supporting star of “The Last Samurai” and second-billed series regular here. His continued onscreen excellence more than merits a starring role, but “Tokyo Vice” sticks to the same perspective as its source material in tracking a fictionalized version of Jake Adelstein, the author behind the 2009 memoir “Tokyo Vice: An American Reporter on the Police Beat in Japan....

“Top Gun: Maverick” was as big of a success as you can possibly get, earning rave reviews while dominating the box office for months and proving there is still an audience for Cruise’s brand of high quality blockbuster filmmaking. The film had the kind of staying power that most blockbusters can only dream of. Paramount even re-released the film in theaters for a two-week run earlier this month. The film begins streaming on Paramount+ on Thursday, December 22....

While filming the 2014 sci-fi action film, Cruise told Blunt to “stop being such a pussy” when it came to donning an 85-pound costume, causing a panicked Blunt to laugh and calm down. “We had to wear these enormous suits, which I think would’ve been great if we had CGI’d them, but we wanted to do it in a tactile way,” Blunt recalled during the “SmartLess” podcast, hosted by Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett....

Where to Watch ‘Trying’: Apple TV+ Maybe it’s trite to call couples a “team,” but if there’s one current TV couple that really earns such a description, it’s Jason Ross and Nikki Newman from the Apple TV+ series “Trying.” It makes sense, given how much of the show so far is based around the two making an attempt (few series sport a title as thesaurus-prompting as this one) to grow their family....

“Undone” was created by Kate Purdy and “BoJack Horseman” creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg, and stars Rosa Salazar, Angelique Cabral, Constance Marie, and Bob Odenkirk. Season 1 told the story of a woman who experiences a car crash that dramatically alters her relationship with time. She continues to relive the car crash in a myriad of ways, but also begins to reconnect with her dead father.

Lana Wachowski came out as a trans woman in 2012, and her sister Lilly did the same in 2016. Since then, they have been outspoken advocates for LGBT rights in Hollywood and beyond, particularly focusing on the unique problems faced by trans people. Now, the filmmakers are opening up their personal collections to help raise money for the cause. On Saturday, Lilly Wachowski tweeted “hi youse! So me and Lana have been doing some spring cleaning at our Raiders of the Lost Ark warehouse and have happily decided to pass on some of the best treasures we’ve been collecting over the years!...
