Miles Teller says a sequel to the Michael Jackson biopic is in progress but details are still limited

Michael has grossed over $700 million globally, becoming the second-highest-grossing biopic of all time

Jaafar Jackson stars as Michael Jackson in the film, which focuses on the singer's rise to global fame

Miles Teller is hoping to revisit his character in Michael.

The 39-year-old actor shared a tidbit about the sequel to Michael, the biopic of Michael Jackson that has grossed more than $700 million worldwide since opening April 24 in theaters. Teller, who plays the singer's lawyer, John Branca, told IndieWirethat a sequel is in progress.

The actor is at the Cannes Film Festival to premiere Paper Tiger, co-starring Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson.

"They had to rework the third act of the last movie," Teller told the outlet. "As far as the sequel goes, I know they're working on it. I haven't had any direct discussions, other than the team is excited to complete that story."

Michael stars Jaafar Jackson, son of the late singer's brother, Jermaine Jackson, in the titular role. The film follows Jackson's early life and performances "that led him to become the biggest entertainer in the world," per the synopsis. Michael ends in 1988, before his numerous controversies, including child sex abuse allegations, came to light years later.

In the film, Teller plays Branca, who was the singer's lawyer and is currently the co-executor of his estate. Branca also served as a producer for Michael.

Since its debut in theaters nearly one month ago, Michael has become the second-highest-grossing music biopic of all time, PEOPLE previously reported. In its first three weeks, the film netted $577 million — including $240.4 million domestically and $336.88 million abroad, after gaining $95 million in its third weekend.

Michael now sits just behind Bohemian Rhapsody, the 2018 biopic of Freddie Mercury, which grossed $910.8 million overall.

Compared to films released around the same time, in its fourth week Michael also out-earned The Devil Wears Prada 2, the highly-anticipated sequel to the 2006 film. It's also only the second film this year to surpass the $700 million mark in global ticket sales, just behind The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.

- *90 Day Fiancé *alum* *Jenny Slatten revealed Tuesday that she has been diagnosed with ALS.

- Slatten and her husband, Sumit Singh, first noticed her symptoms in 2024.

- It wasn't until a year later, after Singh read the comments on an interview Slatten had given, that he began looking into ALS as a potential explanation.

Internet speculation played a major role in Jenny Slatten her getting diagnosed with ALS.

On Tuesday, the *90 Day Fiancé* star revealed that she has been diagnosed with the neurodegenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's diease. In an interview with PEOPLE, she said that her symptoms first became apparent in December 2024.

At the time, Slatten and her husband, Sumit Singh, assumed she was suffering from some kind of infection. But they determined that it was a serious issue when her speech began to slow and become difficult. Still, it wasn't until Slatten was back in the public eye that they got a clearer image of the issue at hand.

While in New York to attend a *90 Day Fiancé *holiday party in December 2025, Slatten filmed an interview with romance publication *Swooon* in which she discussed an iconic moment from her time on the show: the night she made spaghetti for Sumit's family and failed to impress her future mother-in-law. But the subject of the video isn't what caught the internet's eye.

Instead, fans focused on Slatten's noticeably slurred speech and began speculating about her health in the video's comments section, on social media, and in Reddit threads.

"Oh, she's definitely had a stroke or a neurological event. Her speech is slower and it's very obvious," one fan wrote.

"I had an aunt that had a stroke and I was thinking she sounds exactly like her," another added.

Around the same time, reports emerged that Slatten had spent time in an ICU, adding fuel to the speculation that she had suffered a stroke.

The concern soon prompted a video response not from Slatten, but from her daughter, Christina.

"I just wanted to give you guys some peace of mind," Christina began in a video posted two days after the interview dropped.

"My mom is okay. She's doing well," Christina said. "We are doing everything that we can to make sure that she's healthy and that she continues to do well. We hear all of you guys, we see all of you guys, and we want to thank you for your concern."

Explaining that Slatten was already en route back to India to be with her husband, Christina continued, "We again will do everything in our power to make sure that my mom gets whatever care she needs and we are on it. If you know anything about me, I was on it from the moment that I spoke to her. We will keep you posted and let you know what's going on as much as we can."

Slatten herself added in the comments section, "I am ok, please don't worry about me. Thank you."

When fans pressed Christina for more information, asking what exactly was going on with Slatten's health, she replied, "That's what we're trying to figure out, my friend."

The answer came soon after. Singh told PEOPLE that the couple noticed the speculation and shared that one particular suggestion caught his eye: a commenter who proposed that Slatten's slurred speech was a sign of ALS.

ALS is a progressive nervous system disease that affects cells in the brain and spinal cord, causing loss of muscle control. Over time, it impairs patients’ ability to breathe, speak, and move, leading to full paralysis, according to the Mayo Clinic. There is no cure.

Singh said he decided to look into the disease only to discover "that these symptoms she was having — this is what it looks like."

Notably, Slatten's father had died from ALS a decade prior.

Upon Jenny's return to India, the couple met with several neurologists. Initially, doctors believed Jenny simply had "a little clot" in her brain. But a second opinion yielded the diagnosis they feared: that Slatten was indeed dealing with ALS.

In announcing her diagnosis on May 19, Slatten addressed the rumor that she had suffered a stroke.

"It turned out to be ALS," she said. "At first, we tried to keep it private because it’s been very emotional and overwhelming for us. We were hoping to find some kind of solution before speaking publicly. But after trying for some time, we feel like it’s time to reach out."

She went on to let fans know that she and Singh are "open to any kind of help" that followers have to offer, including "treatments, clinical trials, lifestyle changes, or anything that could help treat this disease or slow down its progression."

In a separate post, she offered reassurance to anyone with concerns.

"While this news has been life changing, I want everyone to know that I'm doing okay. I'm surrounded by an incredible support system and I'm ready to face this fight with strength and hope," Slatten wrote.

Jimmy Kimmel is calling out the White House for suggesting Donald Trump be cast as the next James Bond.

The White House shared a poster of Trump dressed as agent 007 after Amazon announced that the search to find Bond was officially underway.

"Grab him by the octopussy! We got a new James Bond in town," Kimmel joked.

Jimmy Kimmel is shaken, not stirred, by the White House recently posting an image of Donald Trump dressed as James Bond.

On Saturday, the White House's official X account reacted to Amazon’s announcement that the search to find the next 007 is underway by posting an image of the president dressed as Bond, James Bond. The black-and-white visual, which appears to draw inspiration from a poster for 2021’s No Time to Die, sees Trump dressed in a tuxedo and holding a pistol equipped with a silencer.

Kimmel, naturally, had some thoughts on the White House’s fan-casting on Monday’s episode ofJimmy Kimmel Live.

“The White House jumped on the crazy train and posted this, suggesting that Trump would be the next James Bond,” he remarked as the image was displayed on screen. “Grab him by the octopussy! We got a new James Bond in town.”

“I think 007 is his approval rating right now,” Kimmel quipped.

This isn’t the first time that the White House has edited Trump into popular film and television franchises.

Earlier this month, the White House posted an image of Trump dressed as the Mandalorian with little baby Grogu in honor of Star Wars Day. The image, just like the Star Wars imagery the White House has shared before it, drew swift backlash on social media. "This has caused a major disturbance in the force today. Yikes," one user wrote in response.

In addition to the Bond graphic, Kimmel also reacted to the president posting “a whole bunch of slop” on social media over the weekend, including an AI-generated image of himself walking alongside a really buff alien.

“He posted an image of himself walking with a handcuffed extraterrestrial. Why? We don’t know,” the host said. “All we know for sure is that the alien appears to be doing CrossFit. He’s in very good shape.”

Others, including Utah senator Mike Lee, were also confused by Trump’s captionless alien “photo.”

“Not sure what this means but I’m here for it,” Lee wrote on X.

“I’ll tell you what it means, Mike. It means the guy with the nuclear codes is out of his goddamn mind,” Kimmel replied. “That’s what it means. But I’m glad you’re there for it.”

Kimmel also addressed an image Trump posted that included a text box that claimed the 79-year-old looked like he was aging in reverse.

“Uh, you’re not aging in reverse,” he deadpanned. “Wearing diapers does not mean you’re aging in reverse, okay?”

“Imagine being a very unpopular president in the middle of a very unpopular war,” Kimmel later said. “The cost of everything is skyrocketing. Gas is very expensive. And you are spending your time posting online about how hot you are, how you captured an alien, and how you should be the next James Bond.”

Watch Kimmel discuss the wave of strange new Trump images in the clip above.

BenDeLaCreme eliminated herself from* RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 3* because that's what? The gag of the season. Bedtime BD herself joins the latest episode of *EW's BINGE* podcast alongside fellow *AS3* legend Kennedy Davenport to discuss the aftermath of the most shocking exit in the show's herstory.

In the episode (listen above), DeLa reveals that the "meandering path" to the decision she made to eliminate herself from the competition wasn't something she'd planned from the beginning of the competition, but rather a seemingly cosmic alignment of queen energy. For starters, she got the Wite-Out she used to write her name on one of the lipsticks from her *AS3* cast mate Thorgy Thor, and the concept to write someone else's name over an existing stick sprung from a running joke she started with eventual season winner Trixie Mattel that would've involved writing "RuPaul" or "Michelle Visage" on the tube as a prank.

"There was this moment where I was like, ok, I've really established myself, people do see me as a frontrunner, I've broken some records, if I decide I'm not going to play by these rules, no one is going to be able to say that she gave up because she couldn't do it," DeLa remembers, while Davenport confirms that other moments organically "just led up" to the big, unplanned reveal. "It was kind of this perfect thing where, in this moment, I kind of was fed up with the conflict generating with that moment with Morgan [McMichaels], I saw that I'd actually already done what I needed to do, and these little moments clicked into place.... it felt like fate."

She says she was shocked that production didn't stop her from making the choice, and she's thankful they allowed it to play out as she wished. Still, she's unsure if she would've pulled the stunt the next time she won a lip-sync if she'd lost the duel against BeBe Zahara Benet.

"Who knows? Probably not. It was a thing that was relevant to the moment. Maybe I would've, but I don't dwell on pasts that don't exist," she finishes.

Davenport insists it was a "real moment" for her, too: "I was boo-hoo crying over there, honey," she says. "You know when it's your time to go home and that was really my time to go home. Had she not went home, I do believe I probably would've gone home that episode!"

- HBO's *Harry Potter* series will recast a major season 2 role before filming begins.

- Gracie Cochrane, the child star playing Ginny Weasley in season 1, is exiting the show due to "unforeseen circumstances."

- "We support Gracie Cochrane and her family’s decision not to return for the next season," HBO said in a statement provided to **.

*Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone* is losing one of its central redheads.

The upcoming HBO series will recast the role of Ginny Weasley ahead of season 2. While child actress Gracie Cochrane will appear as Ginny in the debut season, she will not return for the second installment of the TV adaptation.

"Due to unforeseen circumstances Gracie has made the challenging decision to step away from her role as Ginny Weasley in the HBO *Harry Potter *series after season one," Cochrane and her family said in a joint statement provided to **. "Her time as part of the *Harry Potter* world has been truly wonderful, and she is deeply grateful to Lucy Bevan and the entire production team for creating such an unforgettable experience. Gracie is very excited about the opportunities her future holds."

In a separate statement, a spokesperson for HBO said, "We support Gracie Cochrane and her family’s decision not to return for the next season of HBO’s Harry Potter series, and we are grateful for her work on season one of the show.  We wish Gracie and her family the best."

Ginny is the younger sister of Harry's best friend, Ron Weasley (Alastair Stout), and a fellow Gryffindor. Cochrane’s casting was first unveiled in August 2025 alongside the rest of the Weasley siblings, which includes Tristan Harland as Fred Weasley, Gabriel Harland as George Weasley, and Ruari Spooner as Percy Weasley.

Notably, Ginny, who was played by Bonnie Wright in the film series, is a very minor presence in the first book and movie, *Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone*. She appears briefly by her mother's side when the Weasley clan arrives at Kings Cross station to drop off the older siblings for a new year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It isn't until the second entry in the franchise that Ginny has a significant role to play, when she heads off to Hogwarts herself.

In the second book,* The Chamber of Secrets*, Ginny becomes involved in a scheme to open the mysterious chamber after coming into contact with Voldemort's diary. From there, Ginny is in every subsequent entry in the franchise. Later books see her aid the Golden Trio with some of their antics, join in the fight against Voldemort, and, eventually, become Harry's central love interest.

The recasting news comes just two weeks after the *Harry Potter* series* *was renewed for a second season, with production set to kick off this fall.

The cast led by Dominic McLaughlin as the titular Boy Who Lived, with Stout and Arabella Stanton as his best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, respectively.

*Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone *is scheduled to premiere on Christmas.

“Maybe players loaded into EA SPORTS FC 26 on an empty stomach, or perhaps their fridge is bare — whatever the reason, Domino’s is here to provide the emergency assist,” the company said.
