Alan Ruck, center, and the cast of "Succession" photographed during the 30th Screen Actors Guild Awards in Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles on Saturday, Feb. 24. The cast of “Succession” led the nominations among the television categories with five – nabbing the top honor for best ensemble. “Oppenheimer” reigned victorious with three of those awards, while “Barbie” was shut out. This is the first SAG Awards since last year’s prolonged actors’ strike in Hollywood – a fact that was brought up several times throughout the evening – and is also the last major entertainment awards event before next month’s Oscars ceremony.

Marvel Studios officially announced the cast of "The Fantastic Four" reboot on Wednesday. The film is coming in July 2025 — but who will play the villainous Doctor Doom remains a mystery. But every good superhero movie needs a villain, and it's only a matter of time before fans get news about the team's nemesis: Doctor Doom. We've seen Murphy play cerebral villains before in Christopher Nolan's "Dark Knight" trilogy, and "Peaky Blinders" — but truthfully, he's the easy option for someone as sophisticated as Doom. Here are a few other options for who should play Doctor Doom in "The Fantastic Four."

Every now and then, a fictional character can have a profound real-world impact. In 2023, a very different character is revealing different truths, and the effect is, if anything, even richer and more meaningful. The character is Richie Jerimovich, brilliantly portrayed by Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and the show in which he appears is FX’s “The Bear,” the second season of which was released last month. Episode by episode, Richie opens a window into the souls of so very many of our friends and neighbors. He forces us to answer an uncomfortable question: How do we respond to people in pain?

He still gets nervous before big scenes — but it’s helpful, he said; it means there’s something to risk. “I had my feelings hurt a lot.”In “The Bear,” Matty Matheson, the Canadian chef and restaurateur, plays the hanger-on and handyman Neil, his first scripted role. “I’m a student of the acting school of Ebon,” he said. “I’m like this soft blade, trying to constantly be nice,” said Matheson, who is also a producer and consultant on the series. For him, “The Bear” was a character study in loss and change.
