Marvel Studios’ “The Fantastic Four: First Steps”-in theaters July 25, 2025-invited a live audience and key cast members to U.s. Space & Rocket Center, HOME of Space Camp®, in Huntsville, Alabama, to officially launch the film’s inaugural trailer. Fans from around the world tuned in via a Marvel livestream to catch the big debut in real time with the Saturn 5 rocket serving as the backdrop.
Cast members starring as Marvel’s First Family-Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn & Ebon Moss-Bachrach-commandeered the countdown and launch of the trailer surrounded by fans outside the National Geographic Theater. Angélique Roché hosted the event that included a Q&A with the stars.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel Studios’ “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” introduces Marvel’s First Family-Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) and Ben Grimm/The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) as they face their most daunting challenge yet. Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner).
And if Galactus’ plan to devour the entire planet and everyone on it weren’t bad enough, it suddenly gets very personal. The action adventure also stars Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, Natasha Lyonne and Sarah Niles. “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” is directed by Matt Shakman, produced by Kevin Feige and executive produced by Louis D’Esposito, Grant Curtis and Tim Lewis.
“The Play That Goes Wrong” sees a theater society troupe present a murder mystery played on stage for the awaiting audience. All manners of chaos ensues and escalate as cues are missed, lines fumble, props mishandled, and actors juggle a menacing kaleidoscope of shock and awe. Your jaw will drop and eyes widen from sheer hilarity and second-hand embarrassment. It’s all in good fun as the accumulation of unrelenting flubs from every actor’s nightmares take center-stage in this tour-de-farce of impeccable timing and exuberant energy. Written by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields. Directed by Eric Petersen.
“The Play That Goes Wrong” lives up to its name with splendid grace and an ensemble of professionally experienced talent. Michael-Leon Wooley (Disney’s The Princess and the Frog) as Trevor is a stage technician keeping the show moving, even making time to mess with actors. Mary Faber (NBC’s Parks and Recreation) as Annie, another stage technician who embraces filling in a role for an indisposed actor. Sterling Sulieman (The Vampire Diaries) as Johnathan the helpless victim of a sinister murder.
Regina Fernandez (Peter and the Starcatcher) as Sandra the beautiful fiance who happens to be in a secret relationship with Johnathan’s brother, Garrett Clayton (Disney’s Teen Beach Movie) as Max. Johnathan’s soon to be brother-in-law and Sandra’s brother, Trent Mills (Shrek the Musical) as Robert discovers the body with Johnathan’s butler, Reggie De Leon (Broadway’s Aladdin) as Dennis. Not to worry with John Sanders (Matilda) as Chris on the case as the detective.
The on-stage antics is a gorgeous love letter to stage actors and technicians making something so technical appear to be one unplanned disaster after another is no easy feat. Or was it? Unflawlessly keen to its craft. So many opportunities present itself for improvisation and feeding off the energy between audience and actors becoming more of a community event.
A similar relationship making comparisons to theater hijinks like “Noises Off”. But where that production infuses behind-the-scenes drama between actors, “The Play That Goes Wrong” saves that story device for their later project, “Peter Pan Goes Wrong”. I rather not get into that train wreck and prefer the show retain its attention to good nature fun. The effort the theater troupe takes to still put on a good show despite its shortcomings beckons the spiritual idea of “the show must go on”.
The whirlwind antics had me in stitches as I reminisce from my own theater experience. Everything that goes wrong in the show, has at some point in fact gone wrong for real albeit unplanned in other shows of everyone’s theater career. Not just for actors, but stage technicians as well. Making this very relatable for anyone with any theater experience.
The struggle for actors to keep memorized dialogue in the order they play out, incidentally going around in a loop, falling set pieces, misplaced props, replacement actors, and so much more. But that’s why we love the theater. No matter how rehearsed, each live performance will be somehow unique to that moment.
“The Play That Goes Wrong” performs at the La Mirada Theatre during select showtimes between January 24 – February 16, 2025. For more information and ticket sales, visit www.lamiradatheatre.com.

The Night Agent is one of Netflix’s most beloved shows, ranking #7 on the Most Popular TV (English) List, reaching the Top 10 in 93 countries and #1 in 87. To date, it has garnered over 134M views* and has spent 13 weeks total on the Global Top 10. The show reappeared on the Global Top 10 for the last three weeks – a testament to the high anticipation by its massive global fandom.
Based on the novel by Matthew Quirk, The Night Agent is a sophisticated, character-based action-thriller centering on a low-level FBI Agent, Peter Sutherland, whose efforts to save the president in Season 1 earn him an opportunity to become a Night Agent in Season 2. But working in the secretive organization of Night Action will propel Peter into a world where danger is everywhere and trust is in short supply.
The last time The Night Agent fans saw Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso), his trustworthy companion Rose (Luciane Buchanan) was by his side. In the Season 2 premiere, however, Peter is sharing a romantic stroll with someone else: newcomer Alice, played by Pitch Perfect star Brittany Snow.
After all, as The Night Agent star Basso says, Season 2 will unveil new deadly obstacles for his character. “I think Peter’s trying to find his footing in this new world he’s living in,” Basso says to Tudum. “He hasn’t had time to adjust.” The Season 2 premiere kicks off about nine months after the Season 1 finale with Peter already on a dangerous mission in faraway Thailand. “He’s just not getting an inhale moment — a moment to acclimate,” Basso explains.

These enhancements aim to provide even more options for guests planning a truly unforgettable Disney vacation.
Napa Rose to Bloom with New Interior, Beautiful Patio
The award-winning Napa Rose at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa is embarking on an exciting transformation. The restaurant will undergo a complete redesign, embracing Craftsman design principles while incorporating modern California luxury and approachability.
The new aesthetic will feature rustic elegance, drawing inspiration from California’s rich winemaking history. Natural textures, such as reclaimed French oak flooring and wine barrel columns, will be complemented by hand-forged metals, leathers, and a color palette inspired by California Cabernet. A striking chandelier, reminiscent of California’s Mission grapevines, will serve as a captivating centerpiece.
Guests can expect an enhanced dining experience with an expanded exhibition kitchen, allowing for closer observation of culinary artistry. The outdoor patio will be revitalized with additional seating and two new fireplaces, creating an inviting ambiance for al fresco dining.
Napa Rose will temporarily close this spring and is scheduled to reopen in fall 2025. The restaurant will unveil a new menu while continuing to offer beloved classics like the Smiling Tiger Salad.

Plans Underway for Two All-New Concierge Lounges at Disneyland Hotel and Disney’s Grand Californian
This summer, the Disneyland Hotel will unveil a reimagined concierge lounge, the High Key Club, celebrating the music and sounds of Disneyland park circa 1955. This stylish oasis in the sky will blend swanky sophistication with vibrant colors and playful touches, paying homage to the mid-century modern aesthetic of the era.
Drawing inspiration from the enduring legacy of Disneyland park’s original sounds, the High Key Club will honor music, artists, musicians, and voices, as well as unique instruments, bands, foley sounds, and the history of audible magic that Walt Disney brought to life. The lounge will feature a custom soundtrack showcasing the park’s iconic sounds and songs, complemented by the display of prominent artifacts.
The High Key Club will nearly double the space of the previous club-level lounge, located in the hotel’s Adventure Tower. This exclusive space will offer concierge-level guests a prime vantage point to watch Disneyland park fireworks and enjoy the accompanying music on nights featuring pyrotechnic displays.
In addition to The Veranda concierge lounge at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, plans are underway for the hotel to add a second club-level lounge nearby.
This newly designed, two-story space will celebrate classic California Craftsman design and will be a perfect spot for lounging with a good book, relaxing with a glass of wine or admiring the hotel’s Great Hall lobby below. Continuing the hotel’s forest theme of the Great Hall lobby, the new concierge lounge will be inspired by giant sequoias and will be located high in the “treetops” of the 5th and 6th floors — an “aviary” where club level guests can relax, rest and “nest” in luxury and hospitality.
This space will continue the unique Californian Craftsman design by showcasing columns and arches inspired by the existing lobby architecture, wrought iron branching details, and beautiful hand-crafted tile murals. The flora and fauna will keep with the story of the sequoias.
Certain to be stunning, the lounge will be filled with natural light during the day and a golden glow at sunset from expansive skylights, with a two-story stained-glass door and a curved staircase leading to the mezzanine. This new space is slated for completion in 2026.
For guests unfamiliar with Pixar Place Hotel, the Creators Club concierge lounge offers a unique glimpse into the creative collaboration between Walt Disney Imagineering and Pixar Animation Studios.
Showcased within the lounge are captivating displays of concept art, maquettes, attraction posters, and cheerful décor.
At all three Disneyland Resort hotels, club-level guests are invited to enjoy these lounges, where they can indulge in snacks and beverages throughout the day while receiving dedicated concierge service.
Disney’s Grand Californian to Add New Décor to Guest Rooms
Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa will begin refreshing all its guest rooms, including the Disney Vacation Club Villas. The décor will complement the rooms’ existing Arts & Crafts motif, yet will add new bold colors across the carpets, upholstery and bedding, with accents inspired by the beautiful California wildflower blooms often found in Impressionistic plein air paintings that helped define the art movement of the Arts and Crafts period and continue to inspire artists today. Most notably, each room will have new artwork that was commissioned from local plein air painters.
Pixar Place Hotel Reveals New Details on Themed Signature Suites
This summer, Pixar Place Hotel will add two new, two-bedroom themed premium suites, opening new doors into the worlds of Pixar Animation’s “Coco”and “The Incredibles.”
The Coco Suite, with Oaxacan-style architecture, will feature terracotta tiling, Mexican artisan quilted and woven pieces, a fireplace, unique handcrafted wooden furniture, and thoughtful touches of hand-painted art. The Coco Suite is inspired by the film’s Rivera family hacienda with many family photos and mementos.
The Incredibles Suite will have a mid-century design with a “spy-fi” twist. In “Incredibles 2,” DevTech businessman and Super fan Winston Deavor lends his striking home for the Parr family to live. Now he has designed the perfect getaway for the family! The suite includes a primary bedroom for the Parr parents, with a connecting room for Edna Mode designed by Edna herself. Beginning with a hand-scanning prop at the entryway, guests will encounter Super-inspired touches and special effects including a spy phone, hidden messages, a secret door and other surprises!
These themed suites are in addition to the hotel’s several other room types including standard rooms and one, two and three-bedroom suites to accommodate various family travel needs.
Enjoy More Disney, Extra Perks at Disneyland Resort Hotels
Guests staying at any of the Hotels of the Disneyland Resort can enjoy magical benefits such as preferred access to a limited number of hotel restaurant reservations, a variety of hotel guest activities and Early Entry, which offers admission to a designated theme park 30 minutes earlier than the general public to enjoy select attractions, shopping and dining. Each hotel offers close proximity to the theme parks, and Disney’s Grand Californian and Pixar Place Hotel each have a dedicated hotel guest entrance to Disney California Adventure park.

Din Tai Fung and renowned Taiwanese American artist James Jean collaborate to celebrate the spirit of togetherness fostered by Lunar New Year traditions.
“As someone seeking to deepen my connection to my Taiwanese heritage, collaborating with Din Tai Fung is a meaningful way to celebrate our shared cultural roots and traditions,” said James Jean.
“In honor of Lunar New Year and the Year of the Snake, I created a piece that pays tribute to the holiday’s traditions and symbols, as well as our rich culture and the history of the brand. The artwork features two characters holding an auspicious fish, symbolizing abundance, and a lion dance puppet, representing tradition. Flanking them are flowers named after snakes for their resemblance—the snake gourd flower and snake’s head fritillary—alongside other fantastical flora with Xiao Long Bao soup dumplings sitting in the center as a nod to Din Tai Fung’s specialty. I hope everyone who experiences this artwork connects with its themes of harmony and togetherness during this festive season.”
