'Tulsa King' Spinoff 'NOLA King' With Samuel L. Jackson In The Works

  Saaaaaalutations! If you thought Paramount+ nabbing Sylvester Stallone to star in Tulsa King said something about what television had become, hear this out: Tulsa King has a New Orleans-set spinoff in development, aptly titled NOLA King , and it’s set to star Samuel L. Jackson. Exact details of NOLA King are under wraps, but Jackson’s character,   Russell Lee Washington Jr.,   has been described as similar to Stallone’s Dwight Manfredi.

'The Thundermans Return' Brings First Poster To Vidcon

 


Just in time for VidCon, Nickelodeon released the first poster for The Thundermans Return, the reunion follow-up movie to the 2013-2018 superhero series The Thundermans. It may also give a clearer picture as to how the film will be rolled out.

Star Kira Kosarin, who plays Phoebe Thunderman and serves as an executive producer on the film, participated in two panels at the convention, where the posters adorned the walls she posed in front of on Instagram. It is Phoebe who is featured on the poster, though her face is not. There's a glimpse of the new super suit as well. It declares that the movie is coming in 2024. This makes sense, as it keeps it better spaced out from July's Zoey 102, October's Monster High 2, and Thanksgiving's Good Burger 2. However, the poster only says the movie will stream on Paramount+ but not necessarily that it's original. In addition, whether it airs on Nickelodeon either is also unclear, as Monster High's posters had both Nickelodeon and Paramount+ indicated on the same line. The poster for The Thundermans Return is below.

The Thundermans Return centers around the superpowered family beginning a new era of superhero crime fighting. However, this suffers an apparent setback as a failed mission sends them back to Hiddenville. Hank and Barb enjoy their return, with Billy and Nora looking forward to a normal high school experience, but Max and Phoebe are eager to get back their superhero status. It also stars the also-executive producing Jack Griffo as Max, Addison Riecke as Nora, Diego Velazquez as Billy, Maya Le Clark as youngest child Chloe, Rosa Blasi as mom Barb, and Chris Tallman as dad Hank, with Harvey GuillĂ©n returning as Blobbin and Dana Snyder presumably back as Dr. Colosso

Series creator and executive producer Jed Spingarn fills those roles again for The Thundermans Return, while also writing the script. Trevor Kirschner, who previously directed episodes of the series, is the film’s director as well. The other executive producers are Dan Cross and David Hoge.
