Lupita Nyong’o’s role in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has been confirmed.

In a new TIME magazine cover story on Nolan, it’s revealed that the actress plays not one, but two characters in the upcoming film. She plays Helen of Troy, as well as Helen’s sister Clytemnestra.

The piece says it’s one of “several striking adaptation choices” Nolan makes to Homer’s epic poem.

Nyong’o has yet to appear in the trailers for the film, which led to fan speculation about who she would play.

The Odyssey tells the story of the Greek hero Odysseus' (Matt Damon) 10-year journey home to Ithaca after the Trojan War. He is filled with interruptions in his quest to return home to his wife, Penelope (Anne Hathaway), and his grown son, Telemachus (Tom Holland), who fights off suitors who are desperate to steal his father's throne.

Nolan wrote and directed the film, his first since the Oscar-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer. He also produced the movie with his wife, Emma Thomas.

The Odyssey opens in movie theaters on July 17.

Fourth Wing is taking flight.

The screen adaptation of the popular romantasy book by Rebecca Yarros has been ordered to series by Prime Video.

It must be luck or something: Hilary Duff is one of this year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover models.

Hilary joins social media star Alix Earle, comedian and actress Tiffany Haddish and model Nicole Williams English as the cover girls for the 2026 edition of the iconic issue. SI Swimsuit editor-in-chief MJ Day writes, "Hilary’s career arc is its own form of quiet rebellion, in which she continues to reinvent herself, leaning into each season with confidence, humor and grace."

You can see Hilary's full shoot online now; it was done in South Caicos, one of the Turks and Caicos islands. Hilary, 38, mostly wears one-piece suits and a few high-waisted two-pieces.

“I’m a mom of four and I’m not a spring chicken,” she tells the magazine. “So, of course it was flattering.”

She adds, "I don’t typically frolic around in a bathing suit, so it was a little scary. But it was also incredibly empowering. It was a mostly female crew on set, and it really felt like a celebration of women.”

“I can look at my body now and appreciate all the things it has done for me,” she notes. “I no longer find that I am constantly comparing myself — and that is a better place to exist.”

The magazine spread comes ahead of Hilary's upcoming live performances: She has three shows at The Voltaire in Las Vegas starting on May 22, then she'll officially launch her Lucky Me tour June 22 in West Palm Beach, Florida. The tour comes in support of Hilary's album luck... or something, which came out in February and was her first in more than 10 years.

Dave Coulier is opening up about the difficult reality of his ongoing cancer recovery, while also sharing some hopeful news with fans.

In a video posted to Instagram on Friday, the former Full House star gave followers a candid update on his health months after revealing his diagnosis with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

"Hi, it's Dave, with an update," Coulier began the clip, acknowledging that many fans have noticed he looks and sounds different lately.

The actor explained that the changes are the result of the "extensive radiation" he underwent to treat carcinoma in his throat, in addition to battling lymphoma.

Coulier shared that the treatment has taken a major physical toll, revealing that he has not been able to eat solid food for months and has lost 45 pounds during the process. He also said the radiation has impacted his ability to speak.

Still, the comedian delivered some encouraging news amid the difficult recovery.

According to Coulier, recent scans and his overall prognosis are looking positive for both the carcinoma in his throat and the lymphoma.

While recovering away from the spotlight, Coulier said he has been staying busy creatively, spending time making artwork and doing creative writing offline.

The update prompted an outpouring of support from friends and fans in the comments section.

Kelly Rizzo, the widow of late Full House star Bob Saget, wrote, "You are so very loved, Dave. And truly no one is stronger than you. God bless you wonderful friend. Wish Bob was here to make you laugh."

His former Full House co-star Andrea Barber, who played Kimmy Gibbler on the sitcom, also shared her support, commenting, "You’re as handsome and funny as ever. I love you, poo poo!"

Earlier this year, Coulier appeared on Good Morning America to share another update on his recovery journey.

"It's been a roller coaster ride for sure," Coulier said during a live February 2026 interview. "I'm in remission with both cancers. And what a journey this has been."

The actor also used the appearance to encourage others to stay proactive about their health and screenings.

"I never wanted to be the poster boy for cancer, believe me, but now I feel like I can encourage people to get those prostate exams and mammograms and just talk to your doctors and get ahead of this," he said. "Because even though I'm in remission, I feel like cancer is always in the rearview mirror ... so early detection really means everything."

Brendan Fraser is ready to return to the world of The Mummy.

The actor spoke about the upcoming fourth installment in the film franchise while guesting on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday.

“Well, we’re gonna get the band back together,” Fraser said. “The only way to do it. So, we are going to give the audience what they have been bothering all of us for, for the last 20-whatever years.”

Fraser said he's been hoping another movie in the franchise would get made for a long time.

“I was hopeful for a long while, and then I was like, ‘I don’t know if they are.’ Then other Mummy movies got made. But listen, what we’re gonna do is saddle back up, go back to the locations — I should probably stop talking like this, because I don’t want to give everything away," he said.

The actor continued, asking fans of the franchise to "please wish me luck."

"I’m doing my best to get this 57-year-old gear in shape,” he said.

Fraser will reprise his role of Rick O'Connell in The Mummy 4, which is set for a theatrical release on Oct. 15, 2027.

BILLIE EILISH – HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR (LIVE IN 3D), a concert film the Grammy-winning star co-directed with James Cameron, hits theaters Friday, and Billie says she's happy that she and her fans will be able to watch it "forever."

At the LA premiere, Billie told ABC News of the film, "I just feel really, really grateful that it's gonna exist forever, and I'll get to watch this show and this tour that I loved so much, and made so many memories with them, forever."

"I think that's really magical for them to have and for me to have," she continued. "It's just a moment in time captured forever."

Billie also wants her fans to "sing and dance if they want and just have fun" while watching the film. She notes, "It's a concert. It is a movie, but it's a concert."

The Oscar winner was also "really grateful" that a director "as incredibly talented and legendary" as James was "so eager to collaborate with me and listen to my feelings and thoughts and opinions" while working on the project.

As for James, he tells ABC News that initially they were simply going to film a show on Billie's tour. But then, he says, "It got complicated, because then we started trying to tell a story about [Billie's] relationship with her fans ... and what her ... reality is like." As a result, he says, "It kind of grew a little bit."

But throughout, James says he was impressed with "how in control ... of the show and of the process" Billie was while filming. In fact, he says, "I had to keep up with her, and that energy of — I don't want to say perfectionism, because that sounds a bit elitist — but I would say, the pursuit of excellence."

Fans of The Voice won't get a chance to sing "Since U Been Gone" to Kelly Clarkson — because she's coming back next season.

Kelly, Adam Levine and John Legend recently faced off in season 29's Battle of the Champions, which Adam won. Kelly has now been announced as a returning coach for season 30. Adam has also been confirmed as returning for season 30, which will air this fall.

Kelly's schedule should be a little easier to manage this fall, since she announced in February that the current season of her Emmy-winning chat show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, will be her last. 

Season 30 will mark Adam's 19th on The Voice. It will be Kelly's 11th season on the panel. Those seasons were nonconsecutive, though, because both of them have left and returned to the show over the years.

The official trailer for the Cape Fear limited series adaptation has arrived.

Apple TV released the trailer for its psychological horror thriller based on the John D. MacDonald novel The Executioners. It's also based on the 1962 film Cape Fear and its remake, which was directed by Martin Scorsese in 1991.

Amy Adams, Javier Bardem and Patrick Wilson star in the new series, which has Scorsese and Steven Spielberg as executive producers.

"A storm is coming for happily married attorneys Anna (Adams) and Tom Bowden (Wilson) when Max Cady (Bardem), the notorious killer they are responsible for putting behind bars, is let out of prison — and he wants vengeance," according to an official description of the show.

The trailer starts with Bardem's Max Cady, fresh out of prison, staring intently at someone.

"Let me ask you a question," he says. "What is your worst fear?"

Later in the trailer we see him approach Adams' Anna at an event.

"I had a good life once, too," he tells her. "Are you afraid of me?"

Anna scoffs, before she says, "Why would I be afraid of you?" The trailer then cuts to Anna speaking with her husband, Tom.

"Is there any way Max could know about what we did?" she asks.

Cape Fear premieres its first two episodes to Apple TV on June 5. It will release a new episode every Friday through the finale on July 31.
