Exclusive: Farah Pahlavi, Empress of Iran, is ready to tell her story in a big way.
Under a newly announced collaboration with Woman of the Movement producer Serendipity Group and John Powers Middleton, who Her Majesty has authorized her life rights to, a documentary and a scripted project are currently in the works. The doc project recently began shooting in Washington, D.C., with production expected to continue throughout the year. The scripted project is being developed simultaneously.
“I’m interested in [Serendipty] wanting to tell my story through a documentary and a scripted project, but I want them to go beyond that. I want to show what Iran is and who the Iranian people are. I want them to talk about my country, especially its history and culture which is very important to me,” says Pahlavi, who was married to the late Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi for 20 years before he...

Since premiering on May 31 (the exact cutoff date for 76th Emmys eligibility), HBO’s “The Great Lillian Hall” has become an undeniably strong contender in this year’s wide-open Best TV Movie race. In the past week alone, its Gold Derby program category odds jumped from 40/1 to 18/1 while lead and supporting cast members Jessica Lange and Kathy Bates both moved closer to predicted nominee status.
“The Great Lillian Hall” has found some of its greatest support among our team of in-house editors, more than half of whom are officially on board with it and Lange being nominated. Bates – who held 100/1 general odds until last Thursday and now sits at 62/1 – is on track to at least crack said subgroup’s movie/limited supporting actress lineup very soon.
Our editors’ consensus picks have indeed changed quite a bit in the last week, with the most noticeable developments involving newly predicted winners Richard Gadd and Claire Foy.

One year after “Everything Everywhere All at Once” became the third film to ever merit three acting Oscars, the recipients of those trophies all have their sights set on Emmy glory. As candidates in three separate 2024 races, Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Ke Huy Quan are headed for an exciting reunion that could very well lead to one or more of them winning the TV academy’s favor in September.
Curtis, whose Oscar victory caught more predictors by surprise than those of her two cast mates, is now the strongest Emmy contender of the three according to our racetrack odds. Indeed, her guest stint as alcoholic mother Donna Berzatto on the FX comedy series “The Bear” is widely expected to bring her her first Emmy win, even in the face of formidable opponents from the same show (like Olivia Colman and Sarah Paulson) and returning champion Maya Rudolph (“Saturday Night Live...

You may have had your fill of Deadpool and Wolverine posters after yesterday's deluge, but Dolby has now shared their official one-sheet for the Merc With a Mouth's MCU debut, and it appears to take inspiration from the poster for 2003's Anger Management starring Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson!
In related news, Cineplex has announced that the movie has passed $1 million in ticket pre-sales.
This marks another pre-sale milestone, after AMC Theaters announced that the film sold more tickets on day one than any other R-rated movie in the company's history last month.
The prospect of seeing Ryan Reynolds' Wade Wilson joining forces with Hugh Jackman's Logan is clearly a huge draw, and while it obviously remains to be seen how the movie ultimately performs at the box office, this is a very good sign.

Wayne Garvie, Sony Pictures Television’s president of international production, has challenged European producers to better exploit Europe’s “treasure house of global IP”.
Speaking at Italy’s Avp Summit, Garvie said Europe has a huge depth of stories from Greek tragedies, Roman emperors, Norse gods, French musketeers, Spanish conquistadors to German fairy tales. “All of them have in various forms entertained the world for thousands of years, and each generation reinvents those stories.”
However, he noted US filmmakers are traditionally better at reinterpreting European stories for international audiences, and then capitalising on their success by building worlds and franchises around their series and characters.

Prince Harry’s Heart of Invictus docuseries wasn’t exactly a smashing success for Netflix. New viewership data reveals that relatively few people bothered to watch the show, which spotlights the stories of wounded veterans training for the 2022 Invictus Games.
‘Heart of Invictus’ was one of Netflix’s least-watched new shows
Heart of Invictus dropped on Netflix on August 30, 2023. The show from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Archewell Productions received a favorable response from critics, with an 86% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But the average Netflix subscriber wasn’t enthralled, and the series failed to crack the streamer’s Top 10 list of most-watched shows in the days after its release.
Now, Netflix has revealed more details about how many people watched Heart of Invictus, and it’s not pretty. The show racked up just 300,000 views in months following its late-August release, according to What We Watched: A Netflix Engagement Report,...

How does one embody one of the most influential and beloved figures of the modern era? How do you capture their essence without insulting their memory? For Emma Corrin and Elizabeth Debicki, both of whom played Princess Diana at different ages on the Netflix television series “The Crown,” the answers to these questions laid in balancing practical preparation and research with their own personal empathy for who Diana was and what they felt was owed in portraying her. Speaking to one another for Variety’s Actors on Actors, Corrin and Debicki were given the chance to swap notes one playing the part, including how much research they were each given beforehand.
“It just landed in this big box outside my flat,” Debicki said. “The one thing that struck me about ‘The Crown’ was the machinery to help you prepare was so extensive and available. Should you wish to click on any of these boxes,...

Gillian Anderson wants the truth.
After winning an Emmy for Netflix’s “The Crown,” Gillian Anderson is back in the royal realm, but this time she’s in the shoes of journalist Emily Maitlis in Netflix’s taut thriller “Scoop.” The film tells the story of the BBC news team that secured the explosive 2019 interview with Prince Andrew about his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Anderson has a deep admiration and respect for journalists, but in a post Donald Trump-era she’s grown increasingly frustrated with news outlets that have lost focus on their core mission.
“It’s frustrating when publications that don’t lead with integrity, whether in news or entertainment, and devolve into tabloid journalism,” Anderson tells Variety. “There are so few left that respect the truth, the job and the integrity of individuals. They should treat their audience as adults, capable of making up their own minds.

Actor Matt Smith was among those who instantly captivated showrunner Ryan Condal‘s attention. He was a promising talent who would have looked right at home in King’s Landing’s shadowy back lanes. Condal was further encouraged to sign him on by his recent portrayal of King Phillip in The Crown. And it seems like his character Daemon’s arc is his favorite in House of the Dragon‘s second season.
Ryan Condal is proud of Daemon’s storyline in Season 2
Daemon Targaryen is George R. R. Martin’s favorite Targaryen. He is also favored by the audience despite all of his flaws. Condal recently talked to SFX magazine, discussing his favorite storyline from House of the Dragon Season 2:
“The story that I’m most particularly proud of this year is Daemon’s story. It was very hard to break and very challenging to dramatize and film and then edit.

There was some talk of a final trailer for Deadpool and Wolverine being released today, and while a new teaser might arrive later in the week, for now we have a series of new posters courtesy of Fandango, 4Dx Global, Screen X and Real D 3D.
The Real D one-sheet sees Logan and Wade Wilson standing against a car that's seen better days, while Fandango's effort spotlights a cute crayon drawing of the mismatched pair alongside Dogpool.
The Pool-ified pooch also joins the fray on a fiery banner from Screen X, and 4Dx's poster finds the Merc With a Mouth resting his head on his "best friend's" shoulder.
One thing all these posters have in common is a lack of mask! At this stage, it seems highly likely that Marvel Studios intends to save the big reveal of Wolvie in his full costume until the movie hits theaters next month.

When the original Knives Out movie was released by Lionsgate in 2019, the whodunnit starring Daniel Craig as the southern P.E. Benoit Blanc, was either doomed to fail or become a smashing success. The latter happened, as the ensemble cast full of big names made Knives Out one of the best films of the year, ending up with numerous accolades and nominations, with many going so far as to claim that it had revived the whodunnit genre. The sequel, Glass Onion, was also well-received, but more because of its political and social messages than for the plot, which was more or less feeble and unworthy of the original. But, what is important is that Glass Onion also featured an ensemble cast, and it seems that the upcoming third movie, Wake Up Dead Man, will also follow in these footsteps.

“How to Have Sex” breakout and newly-crowned BAFTA Rising Star winner Mia McKenna-Bruce has landed her next major role.
The British actress is set to lead the cast of “The Seven Dials Mystery,” Netflix’s upcoming Agatha Christie series written by “Broadchurch” creator and former “Doctor Who” showrunner Chris Chibnall, Variety has learned. Joining McKenna-Bruce are Helena Bonham Carter and Martin Freeman.
Set in 1925 and described as a “witty, epic and fast-paced drama,” “The Seven Dials Mystery” follows a lavish country house party where a practical joke appears to have gone horribly, murderously wrong. In the end, it’s up to the unlikeliest of sleuths — the fizzingly inquisitive Lady Eileen “Bundle” Brent (McKenna-Bruce) — to unravel a chilling plot that will change her life, cracking wide open the country house mystery.

A new international poster for Deadpool and Wolverine has been released to mark the final day of the French Open. The banner reuses images from previous marketing material, but replaces one of the Merc With a Mouth's signature swords with a tennis racket.
Some promo art aside, we have yet to see Hugh Jackman don Wolverine's comic-accurate mask, though we have been assured that he will at some point in the movie.
There's a good chance Marvel Studios will save the big reveal for when audiences are sitting down to watch the threequel next month, but thanks to a pair of life-sized statues that were spotted at Roppongi Hills in Japan, we have arguably our most detailed look yet at Logan in his full costume.
Check out the statues and poster at the links below.

Taking the next giant leap in its quest to produce original content, Netflix went on to receive widespread acclaim as well as continued spotlight for The Crown series. Revolving around the life of the late Queen Elizabeth II, depicting her reign from 1947 to 2005, the show brought back to focus the tumultuous times and hardships that come with being a working royal of the British throne.
The Peter Morgan brainchild also came across as the fuel for numerous debates with its exploration of a storyline arc involving Princess Diana.

Becoming the centerpiece of the narrative, the late royal found Emma Corrin and Elizabeth Debicki as the two actresses responsible for maintaining her on-screen posthumous accuracy, showcasing different stages of her life. However, the senior actress of the two had almost lost out on hope of ever landing a role thanks to her counterpart.

A number of Deadpool Variants have been confirmed to make an appearance in Deadpool and Wolverine, including Dogpool, Headpool and Kidpool, but up until last night, we still weren't sure whether Ladypool would show up.
Though we only got a quick glimpse of the character's legs, the "Best Friends Day" teaser made it pretty clear that Ladypool, aka Lady Deadpool, aka Wanda Wilson, will be strutting into Marvel Studio' upcoming theequel.
Speculation mounted that Taylor Swift - who has also been rumored for Dazzler - may have been cast as Lady Deadpool when the pop megastar was spotted hanging out with Reynolds, Hugh Jackman and director Shawn Levy at MetLife Stadium for the Kansas City Chiefs vs. New York Jets game during the strikes, and Reynolds' wife Blake Lively is another popular fan theory.

The run-time for Marvel Studios' Deadpool and Wolverine has been revealed, and Shawn Levy's R-rated threequel will be the longest movie in the franchise.
The amount of cameos we're expecting to see led to some speculation that D&w might run close to 2 and a half hours (as many major studio releases do these days), but according to official theater listings, The Merc With a Mouth's MCU debut will clock-in at 2 hours and 7 minutes.
The first Deadpool movie ran for just 1 hour, 48 minutes, while the sequel had a 2-hour run-time.

The series of murder mysteries that began with the 2019 film Knives Out and continued with the 2022 film Glass Onion is set to keep on going with Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, which has writer/director Rian Johnson back at the helm. Johnson and his collaborators are being very secretive about this project right now, but there’s a lot of hype for it – so we figured this would be a good time to start assembling a list of Everything We Know About Wake Up Dead Man. Here we go:

Johnson got the title Knives Out from a Radiohead song. When it came time to make the sequel Glass Onion, he got the title from a song by The Beatles. So it’s only fitting that the third film in the franchise have a song-inspired title as well. But while Radiohead and The Beatles were from England,...

For both Emma Corrin and Elizabeth Debicki, the road to “The Crown” began with failed auditions. Each performer was up for a guest part in the Netflix series’ early seasons; both ended up playing Princess Diana at different ages. Corrin was Emmy-nominated for portraying the newly wed and then increasingly disillusioned princess in Season 4. Debicki, previously a nominee for Season 5, which centered on Diana’s divorce from Prince Charles, is eligible for a nomination this year for the show’s final season, in which Diana tragically dies in Paris. Corrin has springboarded off their “Crown” success into further risky and intriguing roles — this season playing the enigmatic and dogged sleuth Darby Hart on FX’s snowbound mystery “A Murder at the End of the World,” created by Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij.
Emma Corrin: We had a similar thing where you auditioned for a smaller role before.
Elizabeth Debicki: Yeah.

Casey has told colleagues that he is leaving Left Bank Pictures after a 16-year association with the Sony Pictures Television-owned production company.

Deadpool And Wolverine Officially Rated R For "Bloody Violence, Language, Gore, & Sexual References"
When it was announced that Marvel Studios was moving forward with a third Deadpool movie, it was generally assumed that the Merc With a Mouth's antics would be toned down to meet the usual PG-13 rating.
After all, it was difficult to imagine the Disney-owned studio giving the go-ahead to an McU-set project filled with gruesome violence, F-bombs, and whatever other outrageous references/innuendo Wade Wilson's unhinged mind could conjure up.
Director Shawn Levy would later confirm the rumors that the movie would be rated R, and any lingering doubts vanished after the first trailer for Deadpool and Wolverine showcased plenty of blood, bad language, and... pegging.
Now, the MPA has given the movie an official R-rating for: "Strong bloody violence and language throughout, gore, and sexual references."
Does this mean we can expect more R-rated MCU movies going forward? If D&w is a success - and early tracking...

The first-ever Gotham TV Awards offered a stark contrast between the Gotham Film & Media Institute’s annual celebration of cinema. While both awards shows were founded to toast independent productions — that is, before the Gotham Awards increased their budget cap eligibility requirements in 2023 — the Gotham TV Awards felt like a strangely intimate gathering that was mostly populated by showrunners, network executives, and the Gotham TV Awards jurors, with a few actors and press sprinkled in.
Sure, it could be that it’s the first year for the awards show and thus a smaller turnout and even venue. Or perhaps the Gotham TV Awards will remain a coveted industry event, one that feels like it’s only for insiders.
The intimacy was most prominent during the Anniversary Tribute for “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” icon Mariska Hargitay. The award was presented by Hargitay’s former co-star Stephanie March, and...

Guillermo Del Toro is doing a version of the Mary Shelley story due next year. No stranger to remakes, interpretations of nostalgia, and comedy with Clive/Karloff or Lee/Cushing or perhaps even De Niro/Branagh or someone else as a reference point. Hammer Studios created its mythos which became more the story of the Baron than the creature.
Paul Dudbridge’s Frankenstein: Legacy is a pleasant well-crafted look at a pursuit of Victor Frankenstein’s’ diary of experiments in creation. This was a story element in Universal’s Frankenstein Meets The Wolf man (1943), Son Of Frankenstein (1939) and The Ghost Of Frankenstein (1942).

Baby Reindeer captured the Breakthrough Limited Series award and Colin From Accounts was the only two-time winner at Tuesday’s inaugural Gotham TV Awards.
While the dress was black tie, the event moved at a remarkable clip, with barely an hour and 20 minutes required for the seven competitive awards and three career honors. Previously, the Gotham Film & Media Institute had included TV awards in its film-centric gala, which is held just after Thanksgiving as Oscar season is gearing up. This is the first year TV has had its own event.
Richard Gadd, who created and starred in Baby Reindeer, accepted the trophy on the behalf of his collaborators. As a comedian, he couldn’t resist quips about a “6-inch tall” pastrami sandwich at Katz’s Delicatessen and thanked his mom and dad for “messing me up enough to make me an artist.” But he closed his speech on a sincere note.

Baby Reindeer, Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Colin From Accounts were the top winners at the first-ever Gotham TV Awards, which took place in New York on Tuesday night.
Accepting for breakthrough limited series, the final award of the night, Baby Reindeer star and creator Richard Gadd offered a thoughtful observation about the Netflix show’s popularity and some advice for anyone going through a difficult time.
“It’s weird that a show as messed up as this has gone on to strike a chord with so many people,” Gadd said of darkly comic thriller. “I think it speaks to the fact that I think a lot of people in the world are struggling right now. I don’t know much in the way of advice, but I do know that nothing lasts forever. So if you are in a rut, just keep going. Persevere, persevere, persevere and I promise you things will get better.

Disney/Marvel Studios kicked off April's CinemaCon presentation with a fun "silence your cellphones" PSA featuring Deadpool and Wolverine, and the spot is now playing in theaters - minus the multiple F-bombs!
A shorter, poor-quality version of this leaked earlier this month, but the full thing has now found its way online.
The teaser begins with Wade Wilson attempting to tell Logan which characters are set to debut in Avengers: Secret Wars, but every time he tries, he's interrupted by a cellphone ringing. Finally, the notoriously grouchy mutant pushes the Merc with a Mouth out of the way and breaks the fourth wall himself.
"Hey, bub, You're in a movie theater, not your grandma's nursing home - turn off your f*cking phone!" Deadpool then chimes back in by mentioning that Wolvie talking this way makes his "d*ck vibrate." He then adds, "Nice fourth wall break, didn't think ya had it in ya!

Months before the highly anticipated third season of “Hacks” premiered, Gold Derby’s thousands of 2024 Emmy predictors collectively agreed that it poses the biggest threat to defending Best Comedy Series champion “The Bear.” As the Max series’ latest batch of episodes dropped throughout May, its standing in the main race steadily improved, with its well-received finale triggering noticeable boosts in multiple categories.
Over the past week, the share of top Best Comedy Series votes held by “The Bear” decreased by 1.2%, while that of “Hacks” grew by the same amount. Although the two programs remain separated by nearly 80 percentage points, it speaks volumes that “Hacks” is at least 1.5 points ahead of every other contender.
After simultaneously running second in their respective races for several weeks, lead and supporting “Hacks” actresses Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder are now closer than ever to toppling frontrunners Ayo Edebiri (“The Bear”) and Meryl Streep...

Keep your big-budget extravaganzas and intellectual properties! These days, Hollywood actors are breathlessly lining up to join the Benoit Blanc Cinematic Universe. Ever since Rian Johnson singled-handedly revived the big screen whodunnit with 2019's "Knives Out," the mid-budget murder-mystery series has become the hottest destination for rising stars, A-listers, and under-sung veterans of the industry to flex their acting muscles as the various colorful characters that occupy this world. Even the property's shift from the theatrical market to the streaming landscape three years later with Netflix's "Glass Onion" wasn't enough to deter folks from flocking to these movies like they're the next "Dune" sequel.
Following the announcement of Johnson's third "Knives Out Mystery" last month (now officially titled "Wake Up Dead Man"), it's become a daily guessing game trying to figure out who will sign on to match wits with Daniel Craig's sharp-witted Southern sleuth Blanc next.

Greg Peters, co-ceo of Netflix, paid tribute to the streamer’s U.K. production pipeline at a conference in London on Tuesday morning local time.
Peters cited shows including David Beckham’s docuseries “Beckham” and the controversial series “Baby Reindeer” as well as “One Day,” “Fool Me Once,” “Heartstopper,” “Top Boy” and “The Crown” as some of the U.K. shows that had succeeded on the platform, calling them “tremendously diverse” in terms of their content.
He restated the streamer’s commitment to investing in U.K. content, which has been significant since Netflix’s global launch in 2016. “We’ve continued to invest heavily in our slate,” he said.
“It’s why we continue to invest, continue to grow, even as competitors are going back.”

Rian Johnson is collecting stars for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, like Hideo Kojima scanning celebrities for cameos in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach and the upcoming horror game Od. Johnson’s Knives Out 3 is chock full of Hollywood heavy-hitters, with Josh Brolin being the latest name added to the pile. The third chapter of Johnson’s whodunit series, Wake Up Dead Man, finds Daniel Craig reprising the role of Detective Benoit Blanc with Josh O’ Connor, Cailee Spaeny, Andrew Scott, Kerry Washington, Glenn Close, Jeremy Renner, and Mila Kunis rounding out the cast.
Plot details remain a mystery, though production for Knives Out 3 begins in the U.K. in early June. From his script, Rian Johnson directs Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. He’s also producing with his T-Street studio partner, Ram Bergman. The first film in the series, Knives Out,...

Forget the Kardashians, it looks like they are having a hard time keeping up with themselves. There’s a new report that suggests Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might be dealing with a financial crisis.
Royal Family News – Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Might Be Dealing With A Financial Crisis
To make matters worse, the Duke of Sussex has been warned that he’s facing some pretty tough times as the royal family has dashed all hopes of any reconciliation.
That means Harry and Meghan can’t rely on the royals, no matter how desperate their situation becomes.
Royal experts say that both King Charles and Prince William feel as though they can’t trust Prince Harry and Meghan Markle anymore, especially after all the ways they’ve thrown them under the bus these last few years.
Not only that, but it seems like Harry and Meghan are struggling to make ends meet.

It’s quite hard to believe that we have lived through a time when wearing masks and being vaccinated was as necessary as oxygen to breathe. The Covid-19 pandemic shut down various systems and threatened to disrupt entire industries. So, when Miguel Sapochnik and Ryan Condal envisioned a Game of Thrones spinoff show focusing on the Targaryens, they knew they had to act fast and see what becomes of it. Matt Smith was one of the first actors they thought of.
HBO was not too keen on monopolizing the Westeros universe. They felt that the story needed new angles and perspectives. Subsequently, HBO canceled the other spinoff titled Bloodmoon after it reportedly went over budget. House of the Dragon was a saving grace since it would give fans something refreshing while ensuring success for the channel.

Apple TV’s flagship series “The Morning Show” returned last fall with its third season and with it comes the show’s best cast to date. Nicole Beharie, Jon Hamm, Tig Notaro, and Stephen Fry all joined the cast while mainstays Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, and Billy Crudup all turned in their best work yet.
However, it’s the show’s supporting players, who have been here since day one, that makes the series so good. Karen Pittman is a prime example of that. The series depicts the behind-the-scenes drama of a US morning TV show and Pittman plays Mia Jordan, a key producer of said show. Pittman has always been an actress who possesses a powerful screen presence and that is true here, too. She captivates audiences (and the other actors) but also smartly sews vulnerability into a character who has some power in the show.

With The Fantastic Four fast approaching and rumours swirling that the Latverian dictator will appear in a post-credits scene, all signs point to us meeting the new Victor Von Doom as soon as next year. However, none of the popular decisions listed above seem like a perfect fit to us.
In this feature, we've rounded up several alternative suggestions who would each be suitably terrifying and formidable as the McU's Doom. Crucially, they're not the names you'd necessarily expect to see.

The Crown may not be done after all. And Prince Andrew’s partly to thank. The success of Scoop, a Netflix movie about his 2019 Newsnight interview, has reportedly made executives at the streamer realize there are still more British royal family stories to tell. To that end, The Crown, which ended after six seasons in December 2023, may return to the small-screen with a prequel.
Netflix is looking to make a short-form prequel to ‘The Crown’
“When the sixth season was released at the end of 2023, some breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the controversial show had been put to bed for good,” Tatler reported. However, it looks like it may very well be on its way back. (The Crown ended after depicting now-King Charles III’s 2005 marriage to now-Queen Camilla.)

It’s two weeks after Elizabeth Debicki attended the Met Gala. She’s now in Los Angeles for Emmy campaigning for her work as Princess Diana on “The Crown.”
I meet her Netflix’s FYC pop-up in Hollywood for quick chat before she takes part in a panel discussion with “The Crown” creator Peter Morgan. We grab a couple of seats in the “Ripley” room. “I’m bummed I couldn’t be in it,” Debicki says of the streamer’s adaptation of the Patricia Highsmith’s 1955 crime novel, “The Talented Mr. Ripley.” “Not that anyone asked.”
But then she suddenly remembers the Met Gala. “I sat in between Jude Law and Matt Damon,” Debicki says. “At that point, one margarita in, I thought, “Oh, my God. I’m in a Ripley sandwich.”
She did not, however, share her thought with the original “Ripley” actors.

Deadpool & Wolverine: The Merc With A Mouth Hijacks What If...? - An Immersive Story In Fun New Clip
Marvel Studios and Ilm Immersive's What If...? - An Immersive Story is now available for Apple Vision Pro, and one fan was in for a pleasant(?) surprise during a play through of the "hour-long mixed reality experience."
After entering the Tva, Miss Minutes introduces the player to their new co-worker: The Merc with A Mouth!
The screen then shows a moment from the first Deadpool and Wolverine trailer, with Ryan Reynolds' Wade Wilson dancing out of the elevator. This clip goes on a little longer, however, with Deadpool posing suggestively and reeling off some flirty dialogue.
While there's always a chance Reynolds recorded new dialogue, this is more likely a fourth wall-break from the movie, with the visual looped for the purposes of the game.
Check out the clip below, and let us know if you plan on giving What If..? - An Immersive Story a go in the comments.

Matt Smith is one of the most prominent actors on the cast of House Of The Dragon, a Game of Thrones spinoff set in the Seven Kingdoms. He is known to series lovers as the Eleventh Doctor in Doctor Who and as Prince Philip in Netflix’s The Crown.
