Here's a no-brainer: make Lex Luthor the villain of your "Superman" movie. If there's one Superman villain who everyone knows, it's Lex. Nicholas Hoult's Lex in James Gunn's new "Superman" might just be the best one yet. But before Gunn decided on Lex as the movie's bad guy (with some muscle provided by the masked Ultraman), he weighed using at least one other villain. Specifically, a Superman nemesis whom fans have long wanted on the big screen.

In a recent interview on the "Happy Sad Confused" podcast with Josh Horowitz, Gunn revealed that he "considered" using Brainiac in "Superman." He didn't elaborate on what that version of the film would've looked like, but DC fans should be reassured that James Gunn is aware of Brainiac. While Gunn and DC Studios aren't rushing to make a "Superman" sequel right now,...

Lucasfilm Animation's Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld delivered a huge twist about one of the galaxy's biggest baddies. 

First announced at Star Wars Celebration 2025, all six episodes of Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld premiered Sunday, May 4, on Disney+, whose final three episodes focused on Cad Bane (Corey Burton). Star Wars' mysterious cowboy hat-wearing bounty hunter made his original debut in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and made the jump to live-action in Episode 6 of The Book of Boba Fett.

Tales of the Underworld is the newest installment of the Star Wars: Tales anthology series. The series has taken us inside the lives of the Jedi, Imperials, and people in the underworld. While these stories have featured characters we're all familiar with, the show's format allows us to see what these characters went through during different periods of their lives.

Here are the best 3 storylines from Star Wars: Tales thus far.

1. Count Dooku's arc from Tales of the Jedi

Count Dooku's arc revealed his attachment to his padawan Qui-Gon Jinn and grief over his death. We were given genuine reasons why Dooku was disillusioned with the Jedi and the Republic. It featured the return of Yaddle, Qui-Gon, and several prequel-era Jedi Knights. Dooku's shorts were well-written, emotional, and surprisingly soulful, and featured stunning animation and music.

There is good "Star Wars," and there is bad "Star Wars," and sometimes, you can get both in just a couple days. Right now, "Andor" season 2 is in the middle of its run, earning unprecedented critical praise for the franchise. At the same time, Lucasfilm has just released the third season of its "Tales" anthology -- a short-form animated show focusing on a different corner of the universe and pair of characters with each installment.

Following "Tales of the Jedi" in 2022 and "Tales of the Empire" in 2024, this year's Star Wars Day (May the 4th) brought "Tales of the Underworld," with three 15-ish-minute episodes each for Cad Bane (Corey Burton) and Asajj Ventress (Nika Futterman). And while those are two characters with plenty of room for development and expansion, the new series is almost completely inert. Where past "Tales...

This article contains spoilers for "Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld."

"Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld" is the latest entry in an animated anthology series composed of mini-episodes that more deeply explore the backgrounds of some of our favorite "Star Wars" characters. Sometimes, it bridges gaps, while at other times, it reveals secrets. The first season, "Tales of the Jedi," provided us with more insight into Ahsoka Tano (Ashley Eckstein) and Count Dooku (Corey Burton). The second season, "Tales of the Empire," similarly gave us a closer look at Barris Offee (Meredith Salenger) and Morgan Elsbeth (Diana Lee Inosanto).

In that same vein, "Tales of the Underworld" brings Asajj Ventress (Nika Futterman) and Cad Bane (Burton) into focus. Asajj is a curious character at the moment, as she has had a very interesting gap in her history that hasn't exactly been explained until now. The canonical 2015 novel "Star Wars: Dark Disciple,...

When the “Tales” mini-series started to air every May the 4th, they felt like a gimmick to give the Lucasfilm Animation team a chance to revisit their favorite characters. In the years since, several of these shows have popped up, but with each year, Lucasfilm and the animation team push the boundaries of what is possible within their aesthetic and storytelling choices. With Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld, they may have cracked the code for the best kinds of stories, with two of the best Dave Filoni-era characters the galaxy has ever seen. With two more phenomenal stories for Asajj Ventress and Cad Bane, Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld represents a new high watermark for the animated mini-series.

The next Star Wars: Tales is coming to Disney+. Tales of the Underworld is out this week.

This season of the anthology season will follow bounty hunters Cad Bane and Asajj Ventress. The trailer teases that we will see Bane’s origin, including a childhood friend who has now become a marshal. A tense standoff seems to await the two. As for Ventress, the series will explore her return from the dead after the events of the novel Dark Disciple by Christie Golden. She will also become the mentor to a young Force user in a post-Order 66 timeline, protecting the young boy from an Inquisitor.

Star Wars: Tales has had two other previous anthology series. Tales of the Jedi focused on Count Dooku before he left the Jedi Order and Ahsoka Tano. Tales of the Empire was all about Barriss Offee and Morgan Elsbeth.

Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld...

The animated Tales Of… series in the Star Wars universe started off two for two. After the show successfully explored the paths of notable Jedi and then took a walk on the dark side, this third set of short stories turns its focus to the underground, where Asajj Ventress (Nika Futterman) and Cad Bane (Corey Burton) reside. With the six episodes ranging from 12 to 17 minutes long, split evenly among the two headliners, it’s another slickly packaged Star Wars bundle from creator Dave Filoni that does a lot with a little.

Ventress’ story follows on from the in-canon novel Dark Disciple and sees her form a relationship with spirited Padawan Lyco Strata (Lane Factor) post-Order 66 as they look for a secret path to find hidden Jedi. The mismatched duo are a fun hang, with Lyco constantly picking away at Ventress’ hardened exterior on the inevitable path to genuine friendship across three episodes.

Tales of the Jedi provided us the opportunity to reconnect with many of our favorite characters from The Clone Wars.

While Count Dooku and Ahsoka Tano were at the center and heart of the show, many of the fan-favorite characters returned for an episode or two. Here are the actors who returned to voice them:

Ashley Eckstein

Star Wars Rebels – “The Future of the Force” – The rebels learn that the Inquisitors are seeking out Force-sensitive children, and they work together to protect the young ones from the Inquisitors’ pursuit. This episode of “Star Wars Rebels” airs Wednesday, December 2 (9:30 Pm – 10:00 Pm Et/Pt) on Disney Xd. (Disney Xd)Ahsoka, Kanan

Eckstein has been the voice of Ahsoka for every animated project that her character appears in from her introduction in The Clone Wars movie onward. In total, she is credited for the voice of Ahoska in 12 different project including Tales of the Jedi.

Epic and Disney are embarking on their most expansive Star Wars collaboration in Fortnite to date with the first entirely Star Wars-themed Battle Royale Season and the in-game premiere of Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld on May 2, two days ahead of its Disney+ launch. This marks the first debut of a Disney+ series in a game.

"Star Wars" is full of surprise cameos, from fan-favorite characters to niche pieces of Legends lore. However, the coolest cameos are the ones you're least likely to notice. With the massive success of "Star Wars," it has become an honor and even a tradition to sneak fun celebrity cameos into the films and shows, but thanks to the many fantastical elements within George Lucas' original creation, almost all of them are completely unrecognizable. Whether it be under hours of prosthetic makeup or underneath the helmet of a stormtrooper, one of your favorite actors may have made an appearance in a Star War right under your nose.

Today, all will be revealed as we uncover the best celebrity cameos this franchise has to offer. For this list, we are only including cameos from folks who haven't previously played a major role in the franchise,...

Jim Cummings is an icon. The actor has served as the official voice of Winnie the Pooh since 1988, Tigger since 1989, and the Tasmanian Devil since 1991. However, that barely scratches the surface, as he also counts the likes of Darkwing Duck and Hondo Ohnaka among his many credits.

We first met the latter character in The Clone Wars, and the popularity of the pirate and smuggler later saw him featured heavily in Star Wars Rebels. He's even put centre stage as an incredibly realistic animatronic as part of the "Smuggler's Run" ride in Disneyland and Disney World. 

We recently talked to Cummings about his work in Angel Studios' King of Kings and wondered whether the door is open to him potentially voicing Hondo in a live-action Star Wars project. There's a precedent for that as The Book of Boba Fett saw Corey Burton reprise his role as bounty hunter, Cad Bane.

Disney+ has shared the first trailer and poster for Lucasfilm Animation's Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld, an all-new anthology series of animated shorts from creator Dave Filoni, premiering exclusively on the platform just in time for the ultimate Star Wars holiday, May the 4th.

The popular series, which began in 2022 with Tales of the Jedi and continued in 2024 with Tales of the Empire, this time focuses on the criminal underbelly of the Star Wars Galaxy through the experiences of two iconic villains.

Former assassin and bounty hunter Asajj Ventress is given a new chance at life and must go on the run with an unexpected new ally, while outlaw Cad Bane faces his past when he confronts an old friend, now a Marshal on the opposite side of the law.

The Book of Boba Fett wrapped up Bane's story, but there are still gaps in his past worth exploring.

Fans will be able to celebrate 'May the Fourth' with the return of Asajj Ventress and Cad Bane in the animated short series, Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld. Starting in 2022, Star Wars started to embrace the short form animation to expand many side characters with Tales of the Jedi, which focused on the origins of Count Dooku and Ahsoka Tano. In 2024, the follow-up Tales of the Empire brought back the long-dangling thread of Barriss Offee from The Clone Wars and Morgan Elsbeth from The Mandalorian and Ahsoka. Now, fans will get to see the bounty hunter side of the Star Wars Universe with Tales of the Underworld.

Disney released an official trailer for Tales of the Underworld, which reveals the series will put the spotlight on two fan-favorite bounty hunters from the Clone Wars era, Asajj Ventress (Nika Futterman) and Cad Bane (voiced by Corey Burton). Both storylines will...

Good news, fans of Star Wars animation: there’s a new anthology of shorts arriving imminently. Back in 2022, we got six bite-sized instalments of Dave Filoni's Tales Of The Jedi, presenting previously-unexplored stories of Ahsoka Tano and then-Jedi-Master Dooku. Then in 2024, we got Tales Of The Empire, with stories of Morgan Elsbeth and Barriss Offee. Now, get ready for Tales Of The Underworld, the next batch of animated nuggets — dropping this May the 4th, and bringing all-new, original story snippets focused on super-bad bounty hunter Cad Bane, and warrior Asajj Ventress. Check out the trailer for the miniseries below:

Star Wars fans just received a surprise trailer drop from Lucasfilm. The production company has unveiled the next installment in its Tales anthology series, Tales of the Underworld, which will hit Disney+ this May for Star Wars Day.

Tales of the Underworld will follow the same format as the animated series' previous two entries — Tales of the Jedi and Tales of the Empire — focusing on two well-known characters in the Star Wars galaxy. This time around, the six-episode season will shine the spotlight on two fan-favorite and notorious bounty hunters: "former dark side assassin Asajj Ventress as she’s given a new chance at life and must go on the run with an unexpected new ally, and outlaw Cad Bane as he faces his past when he confronts an old friend, now a marshal on the other side of the law," according to the logline. Check out the official trailer...

StarWars.com specifically notes this season will be a look "at how Ventress and Bane are surviving in the shadow of the Empire." This puts the shorts well before the events of The Bad Batch and The Book of Boba Fett. However, the trailer hints we might see some interesting stories like Cad Bane's origin story...

"What's the situation?" Lucasfilm & Disney+ have unveiled the full trailer for Tales of the Underworld, the next animated anthology series set within the Star Wars universe.

In the new trailer for the series, get a glimpse at how Ventress & Bane are surviving in the shadow of the Empire. In a tattered cloak, Ventress — last seen in Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 3 — ignites her lightsaber to face a mysterious enemy with a red blade while a young Padawan grapples with life after Order 66. And donning his iconic hat, Bane finds himself in another tense blaster fight as steelpeckers circle overhead, a standoff that reminds us of his live-action appearance in The Book of Boba Fett.

Two beloved Star Warscharacters return in the first trailer for Star Wars: Tails of the Underworld. Disney+ is getting ready to celebrate May 4th, commonly known as "Star Wars Day". The next installment of the anthology will be centered around Asajj Ventress (Nika Futterman) and Cad Bane (Corey Burton). The characters were introduced thanks to the world of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The upcoming short stories will allow audiences to be reunited with some of the most popular characters from Star Wars animated media, in two thrilling stories that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

The last time Asajj Ventress was seen on television was during the last season of The Bad Batch. The lovely group of rogue clone troopers crossed paths with Count Dooku's (Corey Burton) former apprentice during a dangerous mission. It was evident that Ventress was no longer the Sith apprentice audiences had encountered during the Clone Wars.

Two fan-favorite bounty hunters, Asajj Ventress and Cad Bane, are back in Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld. This new animated series from Lucasfilm and Disney+ will premiere on May 4, 2025, also known as Star Wars Day. It is the third part of the Tales series, following Tales of the Jedi and Tales of the Empire.

The show will have six episodes, each telling new stories about these famous characters. Ventress, a former dark side assassin, is given a second chance at life and must go on the run with an unlikely ally. Meanwhile, outlaw Cad Bane faces his past when he meets an old friend who is now a lawman.

In the new trailer, Ventress is seen wearing a torn cloak and using her yellow lightsaber against a mysterious enemy with a red blade. A young Padawan is also shown struggling to survive after Order 66. Bane, with his iconic wide-brimmed hat,...

The Disney Princess brand is one of The Walt Disney Company's hottest properties, but not every one of its endeavors has been a success. Although a princess (Snow White) was the beginning of Disney feature-length animated films, centering on one doesn't always guarantee success. Sleeping Beauty, for example, did not fare well at the box office upon its first release. Still, when Disney was in its Dark Ages in the 1980s, it was another princess (Ariel) featured in The Little Mermaid that kicked off Disney's Renaissance. And so, in the early 2000s, when Disney chose to build an entire brand around its catalog of princesses, statistically, they were hedging their bets on a relatively safe property.

Spock from "Star Trek" is easily one of the most influential science-fiction characters ever, flat-out. Even actor Leonard Nimoy never escaped the Vulcan's shadow — despite having a long, fulfilling career outside of it. Indeed, before his passing in 2015, Nimoy voiced villains in two separate "Transformers" films.

In the 1986 animated "Transformers" film, Nimoy played Galvatron, the reborn form of Decepticon leader Megatron, galvanized by the power of the dark god Unicron. Later, in Michael Bay's 2011 live-action film, "Transformers: Dark of the Moon," Nimoy voiced Sentinel Prime, mentor of Autobot leader Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen). Starting a "Transformers" tradition, Sentinel turned out to be a villain, allying himself with the Decepticons to conquer Earth and restore the Transformers' war-ruined world of Cybertron.

Aside from his two voiceover roles, Nimoy impacted "Transformers" in another important way via Spock. Marvel Comics writer Bob Budiansky, who wrote the original "Transformers" character bios and much of the proceeding comic,...

The original Watchmen graphic novel was first published monthly through 1986 and 1987, before being compiled into a single volume in 1987. The comic was written by famed author Alan Moore, illustrated by artist Dave Gibbons and published by DC Comics. In the years since, Watchmen has had three major adaptations – a theatrical live action film directed by Zack Snyder in 2009, an HBO miniseries set in the universe of the comic in 2019, and most recently, an animated two-part film released this year.

This newest adaptation was directed by Brandon Vietti and produced by Warner Brothers. It’s not the first adaptation and is almost certainly not going to be the last, but it is the first that feels like the graphic novel given motion and is the most accurate adaptation of the original work to date.

Disney is often celebrated around the world for its wide catalog of films, making it one of the most iconic production companies ever formed. From traditional fairy tales to moving modern adventures, these films have stayed with fans for a lifetime. Now, with the advent of streaming platforms like Disney +, fans can continue sharing their favorite animated movies with the next generation.

But before streaming, Disney often had to fight for prime real estate at the box office, meaning that some projects got pushed aside. Thus, a lot of sequels and spin-offs were released direct-to-video. Although these films are wrongly accused of being flops, Disney proves that sometimes, these movies are much better than the original.

We're quickly coming up on Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, which means that the promotional material is heating up. Hot off the heels of the full trailer, on moment in particular caught a fan's eye and made us wonder if a fan favorite character would return to Star Wars.

In one shot of the trailer, user Nick Tierce pointed out on his Twitter account that a ship in the background looked like the vessel of Hondo Ohnaka. The Katooni can be seen at Disney's Galaxy's Edge for the ride Smugglers Run, which Nick compared the ship in the trailer to.

We've discussed on this site before that Hondo would be a great fit for Skeleton Crew, so seeing what could be the Katooni is incredibly exciting.

Transformers One has been reimagined in '80s VHS art with a nostalgic style reminiscent of G1, showing off a different interpretation of the prequel. Out of all the movies in the Transformers franchise, Transformers One is the first animated feature to be theatrically released since 1986's The Transformers: The Movie. The film is reminiscent of the first generation on Autobots and Decepticons, taking place entirely on Cybertron and delving into how Optimus Prime (Chris Hemsworth) and Megatron (Brian Tyree Henry) became enemies. It was also a critical success, partially for referring back to older generations of the series.

Now, Matt Ferguson has released a poster reinterpreting Transformers One as an '80s VHS release, showcasing art for a nostalgic interpretation reminiscent of G1. The poster sports the tagline, "Built like brothers. Forged into enemies." It shows Optimus Prime sporting a design that mixes classic with new, while below him,...

Batman: Caped Crusader producer and acclaimed filmmaker Matt Reeves discusses the series future beyond Season 2.

Speaking to Collider, Reeves opened up about the possibility of a third season of Batman: Caped Crusader. "That is something... I mean there's all kinds of metrics by which that is landed upon. I guess it's based on [the] first month's performance and all of that," Reeves explained. "And those are meetings we have yet to have, but we're crossing our fingers and we hope so. We're deep into the second season. We hope there'll be a third, but we just don't know yet."

Ahsoka was assigned to be Anakins Padawan, and though the two often ruffled each others feathers, it soon becomes obvious that theyre a perfect match. Over the course of the Clone Wars, Anakin and Ahsoka become a dynamic duo, learning from each other both on and off the battlefield.

Millennials might be the first to remember The Disney Afternoon, a two-hour block of Disney cartoons that aired on weekdays from 1990-1997. The block ran in four half-hour segments which alternated between multiple animated series. Surprisingly, the line-up was not slated for The Disney Channel only and aired in many markets across the United States. Some of the headlining shows featured characters that Disney fans would have already been familiar with from the studio's catalog of films and shorts, while others presented all-new characters and concepts.

Recognizable shows, like Darkwing Duck, first aired on The Disney Afternoon and featured voice talents like Jim Cummings. A veteran Disney voice actor, Cummings is best known as the current voice of Winnie the Pooh and Tigger -- but his resume extends well beyond Disney. Nostalgia for The Disney Afternoon has encouraged the studio to consider rebooting some of its properties from the block,...

Alan Moore's graphic novel gets another shot at life with Watchmen: Chapter 1, a faithful, yet flawed, adaptation. The 3D cel-shaded animation offers a unique approach to the material, yet feels cheap in parts. The cast are well-chosen for their roles, particularly Titus Welliver as Rorschach, and the adherence to the source material's story is welcome, but ultimately feels too familiar and lacking surprise.

The world of Alan Moore's iconic graphic novel is coming back to the screen with Watchmen: Chapter 1, the third major adaptation of the source material. Zack Snyder first adapted the superhero satire with the 2009 movie of the same name, which saw a generally polarized response from critics but, much like other Snyder movies, has amassed a cult following since. Lost alum Damon Lindelof came back a decade later with the HBO Watchmen miniseries, which served as a sequel to the graphic novel and explored the same universe 34 years later,...
