Hall H was the venue for two of Jonsson’s films, The Long Walk from last year, directed by Francis Lawrence, and Alien: Romulus, 2024, directed Fede Alvarez, to keep the star in San Diego’s Convention Center. Coogler mentioned Jonsson’s role in The Long Walk with Cooper Hoffman. The film is based off the Stephen King book and features two actors who play characters that form an unlikely bond on a literal walk to death.
Coogler and Feige were joined on stage by Letitia Duke and Winston Duke, who played the Black Panther characters. In the Black Panther: Wakanda after-credits scenes, Lupita Nyong’o’s Nakia introduced Jonsson’s Toussaint aka T’Challa, a character of Jonsson. As the credits began to roll, Rihanna’s “Lift Me Up” was played.
Jonsson has also played Gus Sackey on HBO’s Industry, and Dom in Rye Lane (both 2023).

Courtney Stodden expressed her gratitude to Jason Alexander after she criticized him for a “inappropriate comedy sketch” from 2012.
Stodden posted a picture of herself on Instagram with the caption, “I am grateful that Jason Alexander has sent Unchained at Last a lovely gift.” The nonprofit, which aims to “end forced marriage and child brides in the United States,” according to its website, is a non-profit with the goal to “end forced or child marriage.”
She said: “Accountability doesn’t mean public punishment, it means taking steps to create positive change.”
Stodden continues in the long caption: “My hopes have always been larger than my story.” If difficult conversations lead to support for groups protecting children or ending child marriage then there can be a positive outcome from deep pain.
Page Six’s Saturday request for comment from Alexander was not responded to immediately by a representative of Alexander.
Stodden, who was 16 years old when she married actor Doug Hutchinson (then 51) in 2011, wrote she hoped the star of “Seinfeld’s” apology and “donation “become the standard.”
When harm is recognized, action can be taken to assist others. She wrote: “That’s when real change starts.”
She concluded, “If Jason’s actions have inspired you to make a donation Unchained At Last,” I hope that you will consider it. We are fighting to protect children and end child marriage in the United States. Be part of the accountability process. “Every donation protects the next child.
Stodden accused Alexander of rubbing Stodden’s breast with his cellphone in the 2012 skit “Funny or Die,” which they had filmed at 17 years old and 52 when Alexander was now 66.
TMZ reported that the “Shallow” Hal star gave $15,000 to a nonprofit on Thursday.
Alexander apologized in the same way, saying in a press release to Page Six, “I completely agree with you that this comedy sketch was insensitive and regretfully so.
He continued, “But I’m also deeply sorry for the harm and distress that it caused Ms. Stodden.” I offer my deepest apologies to her.
Stodden escalated the matter by suggesting that she donate to an organization of her choosing.
In an interview, the media personality admitted that she had been “very surprised” by Alexander’s actions and was “grateful to see him take responsibility” for his conduct. She then urged Alexander to act.
She told The Outlet that “when I heard that he had publicly apologized, I was very grateful. I believe that that is the first step to change.” However, she added that it would be “even better” if “he actually put this into action.”
Stodden, in addition to urging the actor to donate, suggested that he support AB 1267, a California Assembly bill which would prohibit child marriage.
She also said that, after viewing the sketch in which a bikini-clad reality star was featured, she felt “manipulated”.
Stodden said, “I was shocked” when he looked back on the scene. It felt like it was a scene from “Pretty Woman” that he had taken and recreated with the child. “I didn’t realize he would be feeling me on the set.”
Stodden told the outlet she had “trusted” the adults in her life and that the incident was “really harmful” to her.
Page Six quoted the singer as saying that speaking about this encounter “wasn’t about going back to the past just for the sake of it.”
Stodden said that her goal is to create a world where “children are better protected, and adults who hold positions of authority are held to higher standards.”

Marvel Studios has been at San Diego Comic-Con for two years now, and they always know how to win with their Saturday night panels. Marvel has a reputation for revealing exclusive footage to attendees at the San Diego Comic-Con, as well as announcing new movie titles and characters for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel is aware that even though fans are not present every year at SDCC they still want to know what’s next.

Marvel Studios’ Hall H Panel is unique this year. Not only is it the first panel since 2024 but it also comes just before their two next feature films: Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and Avengers: Doomsday. The studio has yet to confirm anything, however these movies may be the main focus. ComicBook will be at San Diego Comic-Con and is in the hall RIGHT NOW. We’ll have live updates here from the panel. Keep your refresh button close by and you’ll be able to find out everything Marvel has confirmed tonight. Kevin Feige will always have one final thing to say before the event is over.
Pre-Panel Hello From Herbie
Two surprises were in store for the attendees before the panel even began. The first surprise was the distribution of Doctor Doom masks, cloaks, and other accessories to all attendees. This feat is no easy task, considering that there were 6,500 people in attendance. Second, HERBIE the Fantastic Four walked out onto the stage to welcome everyone.
Eddie Ibrahim, SDCC’s icon, will introduce the panel and urge everyone to not record it.
A MCU montage is played, which includes not only the X-Men films made by Fox but also Tobey’s Spider-Man: No Way Home scenes. Kevin Feige, Marvel’s President, takes to the stage wearing his trademark baseball cap. This one features Doctor Doom on it. Feige says that Marvel TV series will not be announced today. (TV may get their day next month, at Disney D23 Expo.) Feige released the Avengers: Endgame Encore trailer, which confirms the date of September for the rerelease. It also contains footage from fans who watched the film when it was first released in 2019.
Feige, who said that the event was primarily about films, did slip in an announcement regarding television. He confirmed that VisionQuest will premiere on Disney+ on October 14, and that it is the third installment in the “WandaVision trilogy” (the other being Agatha All Along).
Marvel’s Ghost Rider confirmed
Kevin Feige confirmed that Ryan Gosling will OFFICIALLY join the MCU. Shawn Levy, the director of Deadpool & Wolverine, will also be directing this movie in 2028. Marvel currently has three releases scheduled in 2028: May 5, July 28, and December 15. It seems unlikely that Ghost Rider would ride during Christmas, but who knows?
Feige stated that Ghost Rider could only be directed by one person. Ryan has a movie that will be released first. Star Wars: Starfighter is the name. It’s amazing. I won’t brag about it, but as a Star Wars fan, I was lucky enough to watch Star Wars: Starfighter. It’s a new take on Star Wars that gives me the Star Wars feel and I cannot wait to share it with you. What was it that brought this freshness to Star Wars Starfighter?? It was Shawn Levy, the director who was responsible for bringing Deadpool, Wolverine and other characters to Star Wars: Starfighter a few year ago.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day Scene Revealed
Jon Bernthal, who was quick to interrupt the Marvel panel after Ryan Gosling’s announcement as Ghost Rider in the MCU, reminded Kevin Feige of Spider-Man: Brand New Day opening next week. A clip of the movie was screened, which featured Punisher fighting the Hulk with Spider-Man.
Avengers Doomsday to be shown at SDCC
On stage the cast for Avengers: Doomsday is assembling, divided by X-Men, Avengers and Robert Downey Jr. The Russo Brothers are also in attendance.
Downey stated that “decisions must be made.” You’ll either have to choose the right side, or consider joining the family of dread.
Hayley Atwell will be returning as Peggy Carter for Avengers: Doomsday, the first major announcement. Fans who watched Avengers: Endgame will not be surprised by this news.
Deadpool Crushed the Panel
Deadpool, dressed in grey Deadpool costume, has crashed the Avengers Doomsday panel, and is asking audience members questions about the film, such as “Why did Thor cry?” Deadpool also seems to be hinting that he won’t appear in the film, by asking when the production begins.

Ted Danson gets real with his life as he nears the end of “Cheers.”
In a recent podcast episode, the actor told listeners what it was like for him when “Cheers,” which ended in 1993, came to an abrupt end.
People ask, “What did it feel like?” “What did you do after she left? He said: “I said that I had so messed up my own life, I hadn’t realized ‘Cheers was over’.”
Danson also admitted that he had “barely known himself” before he joined the show and that he took “a postgrad grow up class quickly” during his last season.
TED DANSON IS SHOCKED WOMEN VIEWED HER AS A SEX Symbol DURING EARLY CHEERS DAYS
He drove to Long Beach, California to visit his mentor. His mentor was “amazing” and gave him “a different type of spirituality therapy.”
He said, “I didn’t want to be a liar anymore.” I wanted to mature emotionally. “I wanted to be changed.”
In an episode of his podcast from August 2025, the “Curb Your Enthusiasm’ star spoke of the ending of the show and reflected on his own personal situation at that time.
Danson was asked by Charlie Day if he feared being stereotyped when the show ended. He replied that “the transition” was “easy because I had messed up my personal life so bad.” And he hadn’t realized the end of the show for several months, “because I wasn’t thinking about anything else but myself and personal things.”

Danson played Sam Malone in the popular sitcom from 1982 until 1993. He was one of only a few actors to have appeared in 273 episodes.
After 11 seasons of “Cheers”, the series ended when Danson decided to move on to other opportunities. The executives felt that it was not possible to continue without him.
He said, “I thought I’d jump off the edge, since I was working so hard to change for the better.” He said, “And there was] a bit of… If I didn’t leave, I might not know if i could do anything else. I wanted to see if i can do other stuff.”
Danson starred after “Cheers” in “Becker”, “Curb Your Enthusiasm”, and “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” until he found a new audience with “The Good Place”.
He currently stars in the Netflix hit show “Man on the Inside” as a retired university professor working undercover in a nursing facility.

There’s something funny about the 76-year old [retired] professor whose life has shut down and his daughter is worried. She tells him to “get a job” and, by chance, he finds a gig as an undercover operative in a retirement facility,” Danson said in People magazine in November 2024.

Currently, one of only 41 cinemas around the globe screening Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” 70mm IMAX is experiencing technical problems.
Regal King of Prussia in Philadelphia informed customers on Friday that its 70mm IMAX projection system was having problems and only digital IMAX screenings were available.
The theater posted on Facebook that it “understands your frustration and apologizes for any impact this has had on your experience.”
The IMAX team has been working non-stop since Thursday and continues to do so to solve the projection problems. “We are trying to return normal 70mm operations as quickly as we can, but at this time there is no timeline.”
The King of Prussia Theater is one of only 25 theaters in America to show “The Odyssey” 70mm IMAX. New York City, Rochester, New York, and Providence, Rhode Island are the next nearest theaters.
Nolan told CBS Mornings co-host Gayle king last week that the new format is sharper and more like the image our eyes perceive.
Fans from Virginia drove as far away as King of Prussia to watch the 70mm IMAX film.
David Dekok: “I drove 80 miles to Harrisburg from Harrisburg in order to reach the theatre.”
Kate Elfatah said that when she arrived at the theatre, the buzz quickly spread throughout the lobby.
Elfatah replied, “I could not believe what I heard.” You have people who are out of order.
Elfatah said that customers received refunds as well as the opportunity to view the film in digital format for free. Not everyone was satisfied with that, she said.
Elfatah: “I met people from South Carolina who said that they had driven 8-10 hours.”
Kate Elfatah said that when she arrived at the theatre, the buzz quickly spread throughout the lobby.
Our crews informed several people CBS News Philadelphia interviewed that the projector had broken. This lack of notice was frustrating for many.
They could have sent out an email to all their clients. Dekok stated that they had our entire email.
Elfatah stated that no one from the theatre came to talk with anyone.
Regal has said that IMAX technicians are working round the clock to fix the projector. However, there is still no timetable for the return of 70mm screenings.
