Despite starring in a string of commercial flops, Bollywood star Akshay Kumar’s stock appears to have been unaffected.

Director Jordan Peele has announced his next project, with an untitled film set to release on Christmas Day in 2024. Peele is well-known for his critically-acclaimed horror films, including Get Out and Us, so it's highly likely that this upcoming film will also fall under the horror genre.

Fans of The Crown just couldn’t get enough of Princess Ann played by the inimitable Erin Doherty. Now the actress has been pulled in to feature in a Disney+ series called A Thousand Blows. The period drama which is being filmed in London is set in the 19th Century and depicts the illegal boxing matches which were held at the time. The series is headlined by British actor Malachi Kirby who won a BAFTA for his performance in Small Axe and revolves around two Jamaicans who forge a friendship when they find themselves in London’s East End and are pulled into the criminal underworld by unavoidable circumstances. We’re expecting this period drama to pack some fierce Victorian-style gang wars, and hopefully, some mind-blowing action, considering it’s a series that revolves around illegal boxing matches. One thing we’re certain about, this one’s not going to be about a gentleman’s sport.
