Having played Miles Morales in two Spider-Verse films, Shameik Moore admits he has a greater appreciation for the character than he did when he first appeared in the Sony franchise. As he prepares to reprise his role as Brooklyn's young Spider-Man in Beyond the Spider-Verse, Moore insists he understands the "great responsibility" that comes with playing Miles.

Speaking at FanExpo San Francisco (via Collider) this past weekend, Moore expanded on how growing up admiring the Spider-Man franchise helped shape his outlook on appearing in the Spider-Verse films and how his viewpoint on Miles shifted once he landed the role. He said, “You know, I think just the understanding of the words, 'With great power comes great responsibility.' 'Anyone can wear the mask, but it’s how you wear the mask that makes you a hero.'

Morgan Lofting, best known for voicing the villainous Baroness in animated G.I. Joe movies and TV shows, has died at age 84. Lofting’s agents said she died unexpectedly on Wednesday, November 27, at her home in Burbank, California, per The Hollywood Reporter. “As one of the 10 founding actors at our agency, she meant the world to us and our company,” the agents, CelebWorx’s Nery Lemus and Christopher Arsaga, added. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on February 2, 1940, Lofting marked her first voice acting role playing Princess Invidia on Star Blazers, a syndicated American adaptation of a Japanese anime series, from 1979 to 1984. And from 1981 to 1982, she voiced Aunt May and Black Cat in a syndicated, animated Spider-Man series. Lofting made her debut as The Baroness, Cobra’s cunning intelligence officer, in the 1983 miniseries G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero – The M.A.S.S. Device , coming up with a European accent for the part.

Director and executive producer Kat Coiro explains what the future holds for Kathy Bates' Matlock TV series.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Coiro was asked what the series has in store once it returns from its mid-season break in 2024. "It’s Matlock. It’s always going to star Matty," Coiro responded. "But I think one of the things that’s been really exciting watching the series unfold is having all the lead characters have their moment, and really seeing them blossom and come into their own. [To see] Sarah, Billy, Julian and Senior, these characters that, in the beginning, really served Matty and Olivia’s story, kind of coming into their own storylines and becoming really fleshed out, I think people will love that."
