The alternate reality "Captain Luthor" really being John Henry Irons was a huge twist in Superman & Lois' first season. The character, played by Wolé Parks, has had a recurring presence in the series ever since and donned an impressive suit of armour on several occasions.
He's even earned himself the "Man of Steel" moniker, but a newly revealed photo from Superman & Lois' series finale seemingly confirms John will finally suit up as Steel.
As you'll see in the photo below, graffiti depicts Irons in his trademark armour, albeit with a red cape and Superman's iconic "S" shield on his chest. While this could be little more than an Easter Egg, season 4 may see him finally take on that iconic "Steel" moniker as another of Metropolis' protectors.

Directed by Jeff Fisher and written by Chris Sivertson, The Image of You is based on the novel of the same name by British author Adele Parks. It stars Pretty Little Liars alum Sasha Pieterse and Arrow star Parker Young
Identical twins Anna and Zoe (played by Pieterse) share a bond so close that nothing can tear them apart. But while Anna is romantic, naive and very trustoing, Zoe is outrageously outspoken and dangerous. When Anna meets an ambitious stock trader Nick, Zoe who has seen her sister Anna betrayed by men before, is determined to find who Nick really is and discover the truth about him.
HeyUGuys spoke to Parks about her involvement in developing this thriller alongside director Jeff Fisher. Meanwhile, Pieterse spoke about the complications that come from playing two different characters and knowing when to jump from one to the other.

Given the NewImages Festival’s remit to welcome diverse artistic voices into the immersive space, programing “Noire” was an obvious choice. An augmented reality adaptation of a lesser-known case from the Civil Rights era, “Noire” brought much pedigree to this year’s Paris Xr showcase.
The project tracks the true story of Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in the segregated South who refused to give up her seat on the bus nine months before Rosa Parks did the same. Colvin’s act helped kick off the Montgomery bus boycott, but her courage never quite got the same traction as that of Parks – in part because she didn’t make for as compelling a media figure.
Ironically, that’s exactly what compelled French author Tania de Montaigne, who sought to explore that era – and its wider questions of racism and resistance – using figures untouched by hagiography. The author’s 2015 biographical essay...

Will Phaedra Parks be making a return to Rhoa despite being a cast member on Married to Medicine? She left Housewives in Season 9 but could she be coming back sometime soon? Keep reading to see what Phaedra has to say about her future on the show.
Phaedra Parks Making A Return To Rhoa?
Viewers loved seeing Phaedra Parks when she was part of Season 2 of Rhugt which took place in the Berkshires. She was joined by Eva Marcille, also from Rhoa as well as Tamra Judge, Vicki Gunvalson, Brandi Glanville, Taylor Armstrong, Jill Zarin, and hostess, Dorinda Medley. Fans were so happy to see a fun and lighthearted side to Phaedra and hoped she would return to their Bravo screens. She did in Season 10 of Married to Medicine as well as another edition of the Rhugt. Sadly, that may never air due to issues between Caroline Manzo and Brandi Glanville.

Married to Medicine fans are continuing to question Phaedra Parks’ part in the hit Bravo reality series. She became a full-time cast member for Season 10 after a few guest appearances. Yet, her presence is escaping many. So, what are they saying? Keep reading for more details on Phaedra and M2M.
Married To Medicine Fans Question Phaedra Parks’ Part On Show
Phaedra Parks has primarily been known as a housewife, stirring the pot from Season 3 through Season 9 on Rhoa. She was a lawyer turned mortician who had two children with her now ex-husband, Apollo Nida. However, the real drama came when she was accused of spreading rumors about Kandi Burruss and her husband, Todd Tucker. Apparently, they intended to drug co-star, Porsha Williams only to take advantage of her. That caused Phaedra to be let go from the series but it may have all been a setup.

Phaedra Parks is best known for her time on Rhoa. She then appeared on the second season of Rhugt which took place in the Berkshires. Viewers who had not seen her in some time really took to the mother of two. More than that, they had a new appreciation for her as she seemed to have softened some. Plus, her personality was fun and sparkly. This caused her to join Season 4 of Rhugt, taking place in Morocco.

Nelson Peltz’s Trian Partners, which is agitating to get two seats on Disney’s board, on Monday released a lengthy white paper analyzing the Mouse House’s financial performance — and suggesting strategic fixes.
The recommendations, according to Trian, are aimed at turning around Disney’s total shareholder returns, which have trailed most of its peers (except Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount Global), according to the white paper. Trian is urging Disney shareholders to vote for its two board nominees — Peltz and ex-Disney CFO Jay Rasulo — at the company’s April 3 shareholder meeting. Disney opposes the candidates put forward by Trian and another activist firm, Blackwells, as lacking “the appropriate range of talent, skill, perspective and/or expertise.”
“For more than a year, Trian has described its thoughts on strategies and goals, some of which Disney has now implemented, such as reducing excess costs, reinstating a dividend, and making the...

Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers from “The Weight of Deceit,” the tenth episode of “The Traitors” Season 2, now streaming on Peacock.
The tenth episode of “The Traitors” revealed that while the group was inching closer to identifying Phaedra Parks as a traitor — the last original one — they decided to turn against Peter Weber and banish him instead. Luckily for them, they did not make the same mistake again and sent her home at the end of the episode.
However, when Weber, possibly the best strategic player of the season, was banished, it’s hard to believe that he wouldn’t be screaming with both frustration and joy when learning that Parks has been a traitor all along. But he wasn’t told right away. In fact, he didn’t find out for quite some time, executive producer Mike Cotton tells Variety.

The Traitors 2 winner will soon be revealed on Peacock.
Carsten “Bergie” Bergersen from Love Island USA was Murdered during the most recent episode, and Parvati Shallow from Survivor was Banished.
Only 10 people remain in the game, which seems high since only two episodes remain.
The ninth episode of The Traitors 2 arrives on February 22, and the season finale debuts on February 29.
Adding Kate Chastain from Below Deck helped increase the level of drama, and Phadea Parks from The Real Housewives of Atlanta/Married to Medicine just asked Kate to become a Traitor.
If Kate turns down the offer, she is eliminated from the game, making her the latest victim to be Murdered by a Traitor.
The Traitors 2 can have more than one winner
As a reminder, The Traitors is a show that can yield multiple winners. If the Faithfuls make it to the end and have eliminated all Traitors, they split the prize money.

Katie Boulter has been playing great tennis at the start of the 2024 season, as she qualified for the Adelaide International main draw.
The British player has been kicking around for a while but has only recently really started to perform on a high level. She did some damage during the grass season last year and put herself in a position to essentially solidify herself as a top player this year.
Beating Jessica Pegula in the United Cup was a pretty good start to that undertaking, and she's keeping her level relatively high. To get into the main draw in Adelaide, Boulter played two qualifying matches and won both.
In the first one, she took on US talent Alycia Parks, and it was a pretty competitive match between two solid players. Boulter ultimately prevailed with an incredible beatdown in the final set, 6-0, which sealed the win in three sets.

Grindhouse is one of the most influential box office failures of the 21st century. Despite grossing a paltry $25.4 million at the box office on a budget of around $60 million, Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino’s 2007 love letter to exploitation cinema has managed to spawn four spin-off movies — Machete, Machete Kills, Hobo with a Shotgun, and now Thanksgiving— in addition to reintroducing a vintage aesthetic that has been mimicked by countless other throwback movies.
Rodriguez’s Planet Terror and Tarantino’s Death Proof each have their merits — the former plays like a satirical pastiche of nonstop action, while the latter is more indicative of genuine exploitation fare — but Grindhouse is more than just a double feature. It’s an experience, complete with faux aging to recreate the look of beat-up film prints along with vintage interstitials and retro-inspired trailers for nonexistent movies.

Before he became the frontman of Tool, singer Maynard James Keenan served in the US Army.
After enlisting in 1982, Keenan did his basic training in Oklahoma, and during his time at Fort Still, he roomed with one Jeff Parks. Keenan would eventually move on to be stationed in Kansas, and the two would fall out of touch as the decades passed.
As a birthday wish this past April, Maynard asked for help in finding his long-lost roommate, and after 40 years, the two were finally reunited face-to-face. The singer shared the heartfelt story on Instagram for Veterans Day this past Saturday (November 11th).
“For my Birthday this past April, I asked for assistance in tracking down my roommate from the Army,” wrote Maynard. “You all came through. Finally got to see him face to face 40 years later. Thank you for your service, Jeffrey.”

After being rescued from the clutches of her captor, serial rapist Kurt Dockweiler, Maddie re-joined the LAPD, and due to her proficiency, she was quickly recruited into the Cru unit.

Actor best known for his portrayal of a suave, uncompromising private detective in the title role of Shaft
For the opening scene of Shaft – the 1971 film that helped inaugurate the “blaxploitation” genre and spawned an Oscar-winning song in Isaac Hayes’s call-and-response classic Theme from Shaft – the director Gordon Parks mapped out to the actor Richard Roundtree exactly what would happen.
Roundtree – playing the New York detective John Shaft who “won’t cop out when there’s danger all about” as the song puts it – was to stride out of the subway near Times Square, tracked by assorted cameras positioned opposite him and at high angles. “I want you to walk across 42nd Street,” Parks said. “And I want you to own it.”...

Richard Roundtree, the ultracool actor who helped open the door to a generation of Black filmmakers and performers with his portrayal of private eye John Shaft, “the cat that won’t cop out when there’s danger all about,” died Tuesday. He was 81.
Roundtree died at his home in Los Angeles of pancreatic cancer, his manager, Patrick McMinn, told The Hollywood Reporter.
He was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1993 and had a double mastectomy. “Breast cancer is not gender specific,” he said four years later. “And men have this cavalier attitude about health issues. I got such positive feedback because I spoke out about it, and it’s been quite a number of years now. I’m a survivor.”
Roundtree also portrayed the title character opposite Peter O’Toole as Robinson Crusoe in Man Friday, was featured as an army sergeant opposite Laurence Olivier as Gen. Douglas MacArthur in the Korean...

Arlo Parks was the latest musical guest on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Monday night, during which she performed “Weightless,” a track from the singer-songwriter’s most recent album, My Soft Machine. Watch the full performance below.
Clearly enjoying the opportunity to appear on late night, Parks had a smile on her face during the entire performance. Bathed in soft purple and blue light, the CoSign alum’s calming vocals effortlessly floated atop her backing band’s dual synths. There was nothing but good vibes despite lovelorn lyrics like, “I don’t wanna wait for you/ But I need you, so I won’t go.”
My Soft Machine follows Parks’ impressive 2021 debut, Collapsed in Sunbeams, which ranked among our Top Albums of 2021. Early next year, Parks will head back out on a North American tour in support of My Soft Machine, and you can grab tickets here. She...

The suit filed on Friday in the state of New York lists as defendants Bravo, Forest Productions, Warner Bros., NBC Universal, Shed Media and Peacock.
Vega appeared in the second season of the series that brings in Real Housewives cast members from across the franchises. The second season was dubbed “Ex-Wives Club” and it featured the former housewives on a getaway to Dorinda Medley’s Blue Stone Manor in Massachusetts.
The suit states that Vega was hired as the butler for the show and “it was Ms. Glanville who on Rhugt in the Berkshires sexually harassed and abused Marco Vega.”

Alycia Parks is a really fascinating tennis player who created a lot of buzz this year for both good and bad reasons.
The most recent buzz-worthy thing was a rather negative one, though it happens rather frequently in tennis. During a doubles match at the 2023 Korea Open between Parks and Sofia Kenin, and Luksika Kumkhum and Peangtarn Plipuech, the American hit a smash into her opponent, who was literally trying to hide from it.
It's not something uncommon in tennis because it does tend to happen often despite the court being rather large. When players go up for a smash, they can't really see the court because their eyes are on the ball, and depending on the position of their opponent this does tend to happen.
We saw earlier this year how Cameron Norrie hit Novak Djokovic with an overhead smash, and the Serbian wasn't too happy with that. It just happens,...

Cluj-Napoca has been home for the Transylvania Open for just two seasons, but it has garnered a reputation as the best Wta 250 in the past year.
Now in its third edition, which will run from October 16th to 22nd , we are guaranteed a new champion. That is because last year's winner Anna Blinkova is extending her spell in Asia, while the inaugural champion Anett Kontaveit retired from professional tennis this season at the age of 27.
The tournament has received a big blow in its player participation. Caroline Garcia and Donna Vekic have withdrawn due to injuries, therefore the seeds will now shuffle a bit. Romania's Sorana Cirstea will now spearhead the 28-player field in her home tournament, and the draw for the event has been released.
Cirstea will start her campaign against the highly-talented Eva Lys. But the young German's recent retirement in Seoul leaves a major question mark on her fitness coming to Cluj-Napoca.

The 19th edition of the Korea Open will run from October 9th to 15th at the Seoul Olympic Park Tennis Center, and the draw for this Wta 250 has been released.
At this stage of the season when some of the top players have one eye for the holidays or aspirations for winning more coveted tournaments like the Wta Finals , the likelihood of crowning an unexpected champion is very high. On that note, let us delve into the draw.
Top seed Jessica Pegula leads the top half. She begins her campaign in her mother's birth city against Viktoria Hruncakova. If she wins that match, a second-round match against one of rising star Ashlyn Krueger or former Roland Garros semifinalist Nadia Podoroska awaits.
The second seed is Jelena Ostapenko who is expected to be Pegula's biggest threat this week. After last year's runner-up finish, Ostapenko has unfinished business in Seoul. She opens...

Phaedra Parks made her official debut as part of “Married to Medicine” in the first look at Season 10’s trailer.
It’s been a decade of the series documenting women in the Atlanta medical community. Through the years, the ladies have had laughs, tears and some of the most iconic, meme-worthy moments.

Disputes in tennis result regularly between two opponents, a player and chair umpire, or occasionally between a player and coach.
But at the China Open on Sunday, it took a whole new dimension as a dispute between two doubles partners turned into a wrangle and seized the attention of tennis fans on social media. It all arose from the first-round match involving Yanina Wickmayer and Alycia Parks .
Wickmayer and Parks were partners facing the experienced French duo of Caroline Garcia and Kristina Mladenovic. It looked like the underdogs, those being Wickmayer and Parks, were on their way to an upset win, leading 6-2, 5-3.
In spite of getting a look at a match point, they couldn't win the match. Garcia and Mladenovic held for 4-5. It was up to Alycia Parks to serve for the match after the changeover. But after a dud game from the American in which she...

While Parks and Recreation began as a workplace mockumentary launching off of the popularity of The Office, it has since become a pop-culture phenomenon of its own. The series continues to be a fan favorite nearly a decade after the series finale, as do many of the actors that brought this beloved show and the town of Pawnee, Indiana to life. From animation to sci-fi to popular franchises, the Parks and Rec cast has explored a variety of genres and mediums in the years since the series’ end.
Across film and television, here are the Parks and Recreation cast’s best post-Parks roles.

Peacock’s Emmy-nominated competition series “The Traitors” is gearing up for its second season of lies, betrayals and cloaks. Due out in early 2024, the Season 2 cast features a lineup of familiar faces from reality shows (like “Survivor’s” Parvati Shallow and Sandra Diaz-Twine and “Big Brother’s” Dan Gheesling and Janelle Pierzina) and other notable areas.
Just like last season, the new installment will take place in the Scottish Highlands with Alan Cumming back as the impeccably dressed host. And this time around, he’ll have a cute sidekick in the form of his dog Lala. The cast will be randomly divided into villainous Traitors and heroic Faithfuls (those who try to uncover the truth). The ultimate winner will take home a cash prize of up to $250,000.

Nene Leakes recently opened up about her experience as an original member of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” in a sit-down interview with former “Rhoa” executive producer Carlos King.
The former “Rhoa” star was (and still is) a favorite from the franchise. Her comedic relief, vibrant personality and laser-sharp clapbacks were part of the reason the franchise gained its massive success, and arguably became the face of the entire “Real Housewives” universe.
It broke many viewers’ hearts to see her departure after Season 12, but Leakes has since popped up in other TV series, and most recently made a cameo in rapper Bia’s music video for “Millions.” While fans don’t see her in the “Real Housewives” realm anymore, Leakes has never been afraid to discuss what it was like when she was a regular cast member.

Exclusive: Republic Pictures has snapped up rights to The Image of You, a recently wrapped thriller starring Sasha Pieterse (Pretty Little Liars) in dual roles. Pic is set for release via Paramount Global Content Distribution at a date that hasn’t been disclosed.

The first project to emerge from a multi-picture deal between Mpca and Parks, The Image of You has Pieterse playing identical twins Anna and Zoe, who share a bond so close that nothing — and no one — can tear them apart. While Anna is romantic and trusting, her sister Zoe is daring and dangerous.

The first two films centre on black ops mercenary Tyler Rake (Hemsworth). In the first film, Tyler takes on a mission to save an Indian crime lord’s son, but it pushes him to the brink of death.
‘Extraction 2’, notes ‘Variety’, picks up with Tyler recovering from the assignment, but then he decides to embark on another risky task in order to save the family of an infamous Georgian gangster.
Hargrave, whose directorial debut was the first ‘Extraction’, has lent his stunt expertise to the franchise’s second film as well. The stuntman-turned-director stunned fans with the sequel’s use of a singular shot for a 21-minute action sequence, adds ‘Variety’.

A funny thing happened during our worldwide lockdown in 2020. With theaters shuttered, our immediate movie-going futures looking bleak and escapist entertainment becoming a therapeutic necessity, along came the rise of The Streaming Service Blockbuster — most notably “Extraction.” Stuntman-turned-director Sam Hargrave’s muscular albeit convoluted actioner, centered on a mercenary sent to rescue the kidnapped son of a crime lord, was handed a captive audience. All the folks at home made it a worldwide sensation for Netflix, and it continues to tear up the charts as their seventh most popular film ever.
Three years later and armed with a far better, bloody and bruising quest for the laconic hero, Hargrave, star Chris Hemsworth and screenwriter Joe Russo return to the burgeoning franchise with “Extraction 2”.

Arlo Parks frolics in the desert, picks up hitchhikers and even keeps her cool when her car overheats in the video for “Pegasus,” a duet with Phoebe Bridgers (who sings on the chorus but doesn’t appear in the clip). By the end of the video, Parks’ retinue includes five people who are also pretty chill about Parks vibing out with headphones on. They even sit in a field and write, with Parks’ love interest giving her a note at the end.
The upbeat track — which finds Parks and Bridgers harmonizing on the chorus,...
