After 20 years of development hell, Metal Gear Solid is finally becoming a movie with Final Destination: Bloodlines directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein attached, and Hideo Kojima doesn't appear to be part of the production. Netflix greenlights Extraction 3 with Chris Hemsworth and Idris Elba returning for summer 2026 production in Sydney and Europe, continuing Tyler Rake's story from the Extraction 2 cliffhanger. In a stunning admission, Disney and James Cameron are discussing making future Avatar movies "cheaper and shorter" after Avatar: Fire and Ash earned $1.4 billion with insiders calling the franchise "culturally exhausted" despite the massive box office. Jonathan Majors and co-star JC Kilcoyne fell six feet through an unsecured window on the set of his Daily Wire action movie comeback vehicle, with Kilcoyne requiring stitches across both hands; the incident sparked a crew strike after over half the production team walked off citing safety concerns including falling props, black mold, missing oversight, and a special effects supervisor with a prior explosives conviction, while producers responded by saying they "don't negotiate with communists." Amazon MGM Studios officially greenlights RoboCop series reboot for Prime Video under new TV chief Peter Friedlander, with Peter Ocko as showrunner and James Wan executive producing, reviving the franchise after years in development limbo and previous failed attempts at legacy film sequels. Plus: Cameron potentially passing Avatar franchise to younger director or finishing the story as novels, Lipovsky and Stein's hot streak includes Gremlins 3 and animated Venom movie, and the question of whether Avatar 4 and 5 need to happen after $6.7 billion across three films. Every story is either franchise resurrection, franchise exhaustion, or production chaos.
