The “Wedding Crashers” alum, who starred as Mobius M. Mobius in the Disney+ series, revealed to ComicBook.com that he has been scolded “multiple times” for letting details slip about the Marvel show.

“We’ll see what happens with this one,” Wilson explained of the upcoming season, now filming in London. “I immediately get kind of self-conscious because they’re so kind of uptight.”

When Wilson’s “Secret Headquarters” co-director Ariel Schulman asked him in the joint interview if Marvel has ever reprimanded him for saying too much about plot details, Wilson replied, “Yes. Yeah, multiple times.”

The “Haunted Mansion” star previously detailed a sketchy text in an Esquire video interview that he jokingly maintains must have been sent by MCU president Kevin Feige.

“When I let it slip that I’m wearing a mustache [as] Agent Mobius, I got an ominous text saying ‘Strike One,

‘Sprung’: Garret Dillahunt & Martha Plimpton on Why ‘Raising Hope’ Fans Will Like Their New Series
A 26-year prison sentence over marijuana and the Covid pandemic might not sound like the right backdrop for a sitcom. Still, Greg Garcia found them to be the perfect elements to bring together for his new program, Sprung. The Amazon Freevee comedy tells the tale of former inmate Jack (Garret Dillahunt) who gets released from his state co-ed prison early and is determined to use his newfound time for good while leading a band of misfits trying to survive in today’s world. Actually, they’re trying to survive in 2020, specifically. “I wrote Sprung around March of 2020,” Garcia tells TV Insider. “We set the show in that time period because that’s when I wrote it. I had wanted to work with Garret [Dillahunt, who also starred in Raising Hope] again. I had this idea of him playing someone who came out of prison after being held unjustly for a long time for marijuana. ...

Everything You Need to Know About ‘The White Lotus’ Season 2

Everything You Need to Know About ‘The White Lotus’ Season 2
The White Lotus” gave us the sinister tropical vacation we never knew we needed — and delivered some of the best performances of 2021.

“Is ‘The White Lotus’ a murder-mystery? Yes. Is it also a comedy? Absolutely,” IndieWire’s TV critic Ben Travers wrote in his review of the HBO limited series. “Does it confront the harsh truths of America’s wealth gap by studying a contained batch of subjects on either end of the ever-widening spectrum? It would be weird if I said, ‘No,’ so yup, that’s there, too.”

Murray Bartlett, Connie Britton, Alexandra Daddario, Fred Hechinger, Jake Lacy, Brittany O’Grady, Natasha Rothwell, Sydney Sweeney, and Steve Zahn led the ensemble series, with breakout star Jennifer Coolidge reminding us why she’s an icon for her performance as a grieving (and tone-deaf) elite.

Molly Shannon, Jon Gries, Jolene Purdy, Kekoa Kekumano, and Lukas Gage also guest-starred on the series. So,

‘Yellowjackets’ Casts Simone Kessell as Adult Lottie in Season 2
All of our questions about Lottie are about to be answered… maybe. Simone Kessell (Obi-Wan Kenobi) has been cast as Adult Lottie Matthews for Yellowjackets Season 2. Plus, Courtney Eaton, who plays teen Lottie, has been upped to series regular. This news comes as the first season ended with the tease of adult Lottie showing up and the teen version, along with Van (Liv Hewson) and Misty (Samantha Hanratty), leaving a bear heart as a sacrifice. “What we wanted to do is really sow the seeds of the encroaching factionalization of these women in the woods,” with that moment, co-showrunner Jonathan Lisco told TV Insider. In the present-day timeline, Natalie (Juliette Lewis) was kidnapped just as Suzie (Colleen Wheeler) left her a voicemail about being followed and asking who Lottie is. Presumably, the people who took her were Lottie’s followers, given the symbol they wore. When Teen Lottie left the bear heart as a sacrifice,

‘Euphoria’ Season 2 Bloopers: See Zendaya & Cast Break Character (Video)
Euphoria‘s filled with plenty of dramatic moments for its talented young stars, but the Season 2 blooper reel is teasing a much lighter side of things. It turns out that keeping a straight face is harder done than said as the segment opens with Rue (Zendaya) and Jules’ (Hunter Schafer) Brokeback Mountain fantasy sequence. As they recite their lines, Schafer’s utterance of, “Good girl,” to the pony in the scene leads Zendaya to lose it, and ultimately spreads a sense of uncontrollable laughter. (Credit: HBO) What follows is a flurry of clips and tidbits which feature clumsy moments for stars like Javon “Wanna” Walton who accidentally trips over something while walking past the camera. And actress Alexa Demie who plays Maddy can’t help but crack a smile and exhibit some silly faces between scenes. Laughs abound, and some blunders make for comedic outtakes, like favorite Angus Cloud‘s
