FOX's Empire - Season Five

The executives over at FOX have revealed how they will have Jussie Smollett’s character make a smooth exit from the series Empire.

“He’s on his honeymoon,” entertainment president Michael Thorn told The Wrap at the Television Critics Association press tour. “He’s on his honeymoon and working on some projects abroad… that’s how we hear about him at the beginning of the season.”

Thorn added that they have already started shooting the episodes for the final season and the writers haven’t decided what else will be added to Jamal’s story.

“Honestly, I prefer to leave it at that because we’re only five or six episodes into the breaking of the season and I would rather the writers tell that story, rather than me guessing where it might go,” Thorn said.

Smollett was fired from the FOX series after he was accused of staging a hate crime against himself, recruiting two people who he had worked with and paid for fitness services to be a part of the scheme.  Smollett had even did an interview with where he described the alleged attack in detail and even dubbed himself “the gay Tupac” after he “survived” the ordeal. After his investigation played out in the media, Smollett became a casuality of the cancel culture. While some celebs and fans stood with him, many others poked fun at him (i.e Chris Rock at the NAACP Image Awards) and dismissed him.

Smollett has been lowkey since the scandal has died down.

Go, Diego, Go! An Interview with ‘Dora and the Lost City of Gold’ Star Jeff Wahlberg

The ’90s-’00s were some of the best years for Nickelodeon. And while this was a bit after my generation, I wasn’t blind to the magnetic charms and multicultural influence the Nick Jr flagship property, Dora the Explorer, had on kids of its generation. I personally grew up with Sesame Street, Rugrats, and Mister Rogers, but while I will always love […]

Things We Saw Today: Amanda Seyfried Was Almost Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy

It’s hard to imagine anyone but Zoe Saldana as badass intergalactic assassin Gamora. The actress truly embodies the role of the Guardians of the Galaxy warrior, quickly making herself a fan favorite in the MCU. But apparently before she signed onto the role, producers were courting Mamma Mia! star Amanda Seyfried.

In a recent interview, Seyfried said “I turned down one [superhero role] once and they haven’t called back since. And it was a big’un. I don’t regret it because I didn’t want to be green for six months out of every year. They tell beautiful stories through superheroes, and my daughter’s now really obsessed with superheroes now, and part of me wishes I’d done it, but the other part of me is like ‘I had a life to live’ and I don’t think I would’ve been happy.”

While Seyfried doesn’t explicitly say she was up for Gamora’s role, the green comment is a dead giveaway. And while Seyfried is a good actress (her role in Mean Girls is iconic), she just doesn’t seem like the right fit for Gamora. Although if they ever do an Avengers musical, she’d kill it.

The MCU does many things well (action sequences, humor, interconnected storylines) but one area where they really excel is casting. From the moment they took a gamble on Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, Marvel has found exactly the right actors for all of their Avengers. By now we all know about the famous Marvel almosts, like John Krasinski almost being cast as Captain America or Emily Blunt almost portraying Black Widow. But it’s always interesting to wonder what might have been.
