First Look at Kento Kinouchi as Twilight/Loid Forger

Following up from my previous post, Musical Spy x Family has shared a first look of Kento Kinouchi in costume.

Additionally, an updated main cast visual was released, featuring both Kento Kinouchi and Win Morisaki’s Agent Twilight.

This comes ahead of Musical Spy x Family's first preview, which will take place over the weekend in Kawagoe, before transferring and officially opening in Tokyo in October (as shared on the image above).

While checking this musical's other socials, I saw Toho Stage posted a new teaser trailer on Youtube about a week ago. This trailer uses footage from its 2023 run and features many of the returning cast members, including Win Morisaki, Fuka Yuzuki (Yor/Thorn Princess), Tsubasa Takizawa (Yuri), and Manato Asaka (Sylvia Sherwood).

I'll say it again here, while I'm bummed Genki Hirakata will not be able to be a part of this production, I'm super excited to see Kento Kinouchi take on the role of Loid Forger! And having experienced the creative/build phase of a theatre production, major kudos to those artists who built Mr. Kinouchi's costumes in a manner of what, days?

The Wives : What We Know So Far (UPDATED - 6th September 2024)

The first casting announcement of 2024 has finally been announced with the news of Channel 5's The Wives.

About

Written and created by Helen Black, The Wives is a domestic thriller that centres on 3 sister-in-laws, Sylvie, Natasha and Beth who, just as they have done for the last 15 years, embark on their usual family holiday to Malta. However, this year is different.

The official synopsis reads:

Last year, four sisters-in-law and their families escaped to their Maltese holiday apartments, as they’ve done every summer for fifteen years. Sylvie Morgan, was happily married, Natasha, was swimming in wealth, and Beth and Annabelle Morgan, were thick as thieves. But this year, as they come together again, everything is different. Sylvie’s now single and loving life, Natasha’s hiding a desperate financial situation, Beth is barely keeping her life together and Annabelle is, well… dead. When Annabelle’s widower Charlie, arrives with a new woman in tow, Beth tries to be happy for them, but something doesn’t sit right. Charlie’s new girlfriend Jade, looks exactly like Annabelle. Beth’s plans to have a great summer are quickly scuppered by Charlie’s odd behaviour, and her suspicion that there is more to Annabelle’s death is heightened. With lies coming to light and evidence building, the women work together and against each other to unravel the mystery and bring the culprit to justice. But with corrupt officials, drug cartels and career criminals closer to home than ever expected, have they bitten off more than they can chew?

The Wives has been ordered for Channel 5 by Sebastian Cardwell, Deputy Chief Content Officer, Paramount UK and Paul Testar, Commissioning Editor, Drama, Channel 5 and Paramount+.

Marvel Studios Casts Secret Role In Sebastian Stan & Florence Pugh's Thunderbolts Movie

A new cast member of the upcoming Thunderbolts MCU movie has been announced.

ICYMI: Ayo Edebiri (from “The Bear”) has been cast in a yet disclosed role in Marvel’s Thunderbolts.

BTW, Captain America: New World Order, (aka #Cap4) has also added a new cast member as well, casting Xosha Roquemore (Space Jam: A New Legacy, Atlanta) in a yet undisclosed role as well.

I’m just gonna say “Yay!!!”. Not going to waste my time speculating who—or what—they’ll be playing. Why bother? Marvel’s Gonna Marvel. I’m so happy to see these women being Booked, Blessed, and Black in the MCU.

Season 3 Casting Announcement

[funnybun28]

Is this a spoiler? I'm not sure. Maybe? I'd love for this actor to be in the movie. In Sense8, he steals every scene. An excellent hacker character.

I'm not the original person to spot this, so not taking credit for the eagle-eyed attention to detail. It's interesting that's there's yet another Sense8 actor on the movie set, even if he hasn't been announced as part of the cast. I don't think they just let people drop by for a chat on a busy movie set?

This took place in mid to late February 2020, right before Covid changed everything. So strange to think it's been that long that we've been seeing filming pics and eagerly waiting for plot news. #can hardly wait!
