: Channing Tatum shared ambiguous details about his potential role in 'Avengers: Doomsday', clarifying he isn't confirmed as Gambit, only having 'a chair'. Meanwhile, Alan Cumming expressed excitement about reprising his role as Nightcrawler, emphasizing improvements in makeup technology. Steven Soderbergh and Scott Z. Burns hesitated to proceed with a 'Contagion' sequel due to its potentially 'irresponsible' themes. Universal confirmed 'Happy Death Day 3' with Jessica Rothe and Christopher Landon at a recent screening event.

Channing Tatum's possible casting in 'Avengers: Doomsday' has sparked intrigue and speculation among fans. In a conversation with Extra, Tatum stated playfully that "all I was guaranteed was a chair", suggesting a cameo rather than a major role, denying any certainty about playing the fan-favorite character, Gambit. This ambiguity intensifies the ongoing interest in the film as Marvel continues to expand its cinematic universe.

Additionally, there is a buzz around Alan Cumming's return as Nightcrawler. Speaking on 'Today With Jenna and Friends', Cumming described his preparation process, mentioning that makeup application time has been reduced from four and a half hours to just 90 minutes due to advancements in technology. This efficiency in transformation may encourage him to engage more frequently with his character, offering fans an exciting revival of the Nightcrawler persona.

In parallel cinematic developments, director Steven Soderbergh and writer Scott Z. Burns are contemplating a sequel to 'Contagion'. Despite generating some "terrifying ideas", both creatives expressed reservations about the storyline's societal implications. Soderbergh emphasized his responsibility to create "a plot that doesn’t feel predictable", yet cautioned against releasing content that could be deemed socially "irresponsible".

During a special screening event of 'Happy Death Day' and its sequel, star Jessica Rothe and director Christopher Landon confirmed that Universal is pushing forward with a third installment. This announcement delighted fans who have eagerly awaited more thrilling narratives from this inventive horror-comedy series. Some plot details remain mysterious, ensuring anticipation and excitement continues to brew.

Meanwhile, other updates in film and television include the indefinite delay of 'Oswald: Down the Rabbit Hole', attributed to script dissatisfaction according to writer-director Lilton Stewart III. The delay allows for further refinement, aiming to address the narrative gaps found within the initial draft. As audiences look forward to these releases, they also remain excited for upcoming seasons of 'Peacemaker' and 'Yellowjackets', as well as the pivotal roles that the resurgent Marvel and cinematic worlds will soon play.
