Jenna Ortega shuts down MCU rumours, focuses on new projects.
Wednesday star, Jenna Ortega has dismissed speculation about joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, stating she has already had her turn and moved on. While promoting her new A24 comedy-horror, Death of a Unicorn, in which she stars alongside Paul Rudd, Ortega was asked about the possibility of stepping into a superhero role. She quickly shut down the idea, revealing she briefly appeared in Iron Man 3 (2013) as the U.S. Vice President’s daughter—though her lines were cut. “I did it once,” Ortega said. “They even took my name away.” Despite rumours linking her to the role of X-Men’s Kitty Pryde, she made it clear she has no interest in revisiting the MCU. Ortega remains busy with upcoming projects, including Death of a Unicorn and the musical psychological thriller Hurry Up Tomorrow, co-starring The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye). With her growing film career, she seems content leaving the superhero world behind.

"I did it once… [Iron Man 3] was one of the first jobs I ever did. They took all my lines out … they even took my name away … I count that, and then I move on”

Mystery man, Frank Ocean teases new music, sending fans into a frenzy.
In a characteristically unexpected move, Frank Ocean has ignited excitement after a snippet of his new track surfaced in UFC fighter Payton Talbott’s YouTube vlog. At the 11:37 mark, fans caught a glimpse of Ocean’s signature vocals, prompting speculation about a long-awaited return. The elusive singer-songwriter later shared a 35-second teaser on social media, featuring an acoustic-driven melody with spoken word elements reminiscent of Endless and Blonde. Adding to the intrigue, some believe Playboi Carti played a role in Ocean’s comeback. In 2023, after releasing his album MUSIC, Carti challenged Ocean via DM, daring him to share a snippet. The message went viral, and fans now suspect it pushed Ocean to finally release new material. The two previously collaborated on RAF in 2017, fuelling hopes for more music. While no album has been confirmed, Ocean’s latest teaser hints that something significant could be on the horizon.

Disney+ Renews Percy Jackson and the Olympians for Season 3.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians has officially renewed for a third season by Disney+, nearly a year ahead of Season 2’s premiere in December 2025. The upcoming season will adapt The Titan’s Curse, the third book in Rick Riordan’s beloved series.

Percy Jackson has been a massive success, ranking among the top five most-watched original series across streaming platforms upon its debut in December 2023. The first episode garnered 13.3 million views in its first six days. Riordan, alongside executive producers Jonathan E. Steinberg and Dan Shotz, continues to bring the Percy Jackson universe to life, ensuring fans can look forward to more thrilling adventures on Disney+.
