Mayans MC: CM Punk On The Importance Of Telling His Character’s Story
When AEW's CM Punk made his first appearance as Paul, Gilly's (Vincent "Rocco" Vargas) military veteran friend in Season 2 of FX's Mayans MC , it was a shock. Practically unannounced before airing, Punk's appearance on such a high-profile show was a delight for wrestling fans. Once the character's story started to unfold over the fourth and fifth episode of the season, though, it quickly became clear how important a story it was. Paul, like many who have served in the military, is dealing with a pretty severe case of post-traumatic stress disorder. We see this first at a birthday party in Episode 4, "A Crow Flew By," when he loses his temper at another party guest. Of course, things took a much darker turn in Episode 5, "Death of the Virgin." The following contains spoilers for the fifth episode of Mayans MC Season 4, "Death of the Virgin." If you've yet to watch the latest installment, you should stop reading now.

Warning: The following contains spoilers for the fourth episode of Mayans Season 4, "A Crow Flew By." If you haven't watched it yet, stop now. While the Sons of Anarchy have approved going to war with the Mayans over the dead Son from way back in Season 2--and the club is currently at war with itself--one of the most interesting moments came in the form of a new character introduction. AEW wrestler CM Punk, who has also appeared on Starz' Heels, has officially entered the Mayans MC universe. At a barbeque with his fellow military veterans, Gilly (Vincent "Rocco" Vargas) sits at a table with … [Read more...] about Mayans MC Creator Reveals How CM Punk Wound Up In Season 4
Star Wars boss Kathleen Kennedy addresses “the hiatus” between movies
We've been waiting a long time for the next Star Wars movie, and Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy has finally addressed the so-called "hiatus" in big-screen outings since Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in 2019. After that movie – directed by J.J. Abrams, who came in as a last-minute substitute for Colin Trevorrow – debuted on the big screen, Kennedy decided the studio needed to regroup and rethink its strategy, according to Vanity Fair . "We all recognized, every single one of us, that this was a new chapter for the company and that we needed to all work together to create the architecture for where we were going," she told the publication. At the time, Lucasfilm had been churning out Star Wars movies almost annually, including the sequel trilogy and spin-offs Rogue One and Solo . Kennedy decided that the yearly deadline was not working, and that Star Wars movies required more from filmmakers becoming involved with that galaxy far, far away. "Anyone … [Read more...] about Star Wars boss Kathleen Kennedy addresses “the hiatus” between movies
