Entertainment news is led by the industry’s mix of franchise momentum, box-office scrutiny and personal reflection from established stars. The day brings a major casting update for a prestige series, an opening-day test for a new Hindi release, and a candid account of the physical costs behind an iconic film career.

HBO’s The Last of Us expands its third season cast with John Goodman, Laura Bailey and Ian Alexander. Bailey and Alexander, both associated with the video game franchise, are set for newly created roles, while Goodman joins the live-action drama as a separate character as the series continues to build out its next chapter.

Sylvester Stallone says the Rocky films took a severe physical toll, including bulimia and steroid use during that period. He describes becoming intensely focused on his body and says that pressure shaped a difficult relationship with his physique that has continued long after the movies made him a star.

The Vvaan: Force of the Forest opens to an estimated Rs 8 crore net on its first day in India. The film, starring Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia, posts that start across 6,746 shows, giving the fantasy action release an early benchmark as it begins its theatrical run.

Josh Widdicombe weighs in on Strictly Come Dancing’s new host, with the discussion centering on the presenter’s public image and reported wealth. His remarks add to the early reaction around the appointment as the long-running BBC entertainment show moves into its next hosting era.
