Travis Scott previews a new song during Friday’s WWE Smackdown.
Houston rapper, Travis Scott is currently on his CIRCUS MAXIMUS tour and recently brought out The Weeknd, thanking him for his influence on his career. October 18 was a particularly eventful day for the Houston rapper, who, while performing in Sydney, also premiered an unreleased song during WWE Smackdown. Though Scott wasn’t present, his music was featured in a segment with Roman Reigns and the Usos. They were seen blasting Scott’s song, with Jimmy even commenting, “That new Travis Scott is lit,” confirming it hadn’t been released yet. Fans also speculated that Quavo was featured on the track. Scott has been teasing new music since September, telling Cultured Magazine that he’s in “album mode” while still on tour. Inspired by smaller shows, he’s working on new material, though with UTOPIA released in 2023, fans may have to wait for more.

DC’s SUPERGIRL movie set to commence filming this January in the UK.
At the DC Studios panel at New York Comic Con, James Gunn shared an update on the upcoming film Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, based on Tom King and Bilquis Evely’s 8-issue miniseries. The film, which will start shooting in January in the UK, stars Milly Alcock as Supergirl. The story follows Kara Zor-El, who, after feeling lost and overshadowed by Superman’s fame, embarks on a space journey with a grief-stricken young girl seeking revenge for her destroyed world. Gunn praised the project, noting the great work of the writer and director, and said he was excited about Alcock’s screen test. He also mentioned that Ana Nogueira’s pitch for the film was one of the best he’s heard. While the movie adapts King’s comic, there will be some structural differences, but it will maintain its core characters and themes.

Fallout season 2 is confirmed to start filming this November.
Rumors have emerged that Fallout Season 2 will begin filming in November, much earlier than expected. Fans of the post-apocalyptic series, adapted from Bethesda’s iconic video game franchise, can look forward to a quicker production timeline. At New York Comic Con, Screen Rant reported that Leslie Uggams, who portrays Betty Pearson, the Overseer of Vault 33, confirmed the November filming start. Season 1 began filming in July 2022 and premiered in April 2024. Given that the team is no longer starting from scratch, there’s hope for a faster turnaround. However, a two-year gap between seasons remains likely, as is common in modern TV production schedules. Fans can now eagerly anticipate the continuation of the Fallout universe with the next chapter in development.
