Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment WriterThere are few alumni of MTV’s “The Real World” who have had as lasting a legacy as Danny Roberts.

, season 9 of MTV’s long-running reality TV franchise. At the time, she was a wide-eyed 21-year-old Brigham Young University student exploring life outside of Utah as the first Mormon on the series.

long-running reality TV franchise,, has reunited after 22 years to continue the social experiment of finding out “what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real.” On the third installment of, David “Tokyo” Broom, Melissa Beck, Jamie Murray, Danny Roberts, Matt Smith, Julie Stoffer and Kelley Wolf all have moved back into the same Big Easy house -- but in the premiere, it quickly became clear that this group has a lot of unfinished business to deal with. While speaking to ET’s Lauren Zima, Roberts and Beck break down the explosive drama with Stoffer that led to a falling out between the housemates. “I don’t think we meant to disconnect from each other, but it just naturally happened.

’s 30-year history, Danny Roberts is one of the more memorable roommates to appear on the MTV reality franchise. And now, 22 years later, he’s reuniting with his castmates -- David “Tokyo” Broom, Melissa Beck, Jamie Murray, Matt Smith, Julie Stoffer and Kelley Wolf -- for season 3 of on Paramount+. “It brought up lots of memories and things that had been nicely tucked away in a closet, no pun intended,” Roberts tells ET’s Lauren Zima about the upcoming installment of, which may prove to be the most dramatic yet as he and other roommates finally unpack issues that forced them apart over the past two decades.

MTV’s  --  and  -- reunited for on Paramount+, the franchise is bringing the roommates from season 9’s back together for the latest installment of the renewed social experiment where they’ll get a second chance to stop being polite and start getting real. Ahead of what looks to be the most dramatic season yet, roommate Kelley Wolf opens up to ET’s Rachel Smith about the “meta” experience of moving back into the same house in the Big Easy, where the cast made history as the most watched season yet in 2000, and relived memories from 22 years prior. “We would sit around in the room and they would show a clip -- and it’s meta,” Wolf says of “watching yourself being filmed” and then having to reflect on those moments as a group, which also included David “Tokyo” Broom, Melissa Beck, Jamie Murray, Danny Roberts, Matt Smith and Julie Stoffer. “It was really interesting. I mean, the first time that I did the show, I didn’t have a ton of knowledge because I was too busy in the woods, thinking about Matt, apparently,” Wolf quips.

Netflix is in early-stage conversations with The Crown producer Left Bank over a prequel to the smash hit royal drama.

Zack Sharf “Morbius” director Daniel Espinosa remains “proud” of his comic book tentpole despite the movie earning abysmal reviews from film critics. The Jared Leto-starring superhero movie boasts a paltry 17% on Rotten Tomatoes, making it one of the lowest-rated Marvel films ever released. Espinosa confronted the film’s negative reviews in an interview with Insider.“When I did my first feature it was a small movie called ‘Babylon Disease,'” Espinosa said.

“Morbius,” the latest Spider-Man-adjacent Marvel movie from Sony, has just fluttered into theaters nationwide. Jared Leto stars as Dr. Michael Morbius, a mad scientist genius who suffers from a rare genetic disorder.

The filmmakers and corporations behind Sony’s Marvel Comics adaptation Morbius (★☆☆☆☆) have had ample time to consider what they’re aiming for with this big-budget film intro for living vampire, and vintage Spider-Man nemesis, Dr. Michael Morbius.Namely they should have figured out by now whether their version of the character — portrayed in astonishingly muted fashion by Oscar-winner and accent devourer Jared Leto — exists in any known Spider-Man film universe, or maybe one that’s merely Spidey-adjacent, à la Venom.After half a decade and at least seven release date delays, moviegoers and Marvel fans (not mutually exclusive) also have had ample time to try to make sense of every hint in the marketing, and every detail of speculation.But the murky, mundane origin story that director Daniel Espinosa and credited writing team Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless have come up with treats making sense more as a perk than a prerequisite, so dial down expectations accordingly.Ultimately, Morbius is a setup — a long-winded prologue to some prospective later franchise entry, teased in the two underwhelming mid-credits sequences that will prolong this experience for many who would otherwise be ready to bolt by then. Strangely enough, the movie checks out first, practically stopping on a dime following a listless showdown between super-vampire-powered Morbius and friend-turned-foe Milo, played by past and perennial Dr.

“Kraven the Hunter” and “Madame Web” films.The studio is projecting that “Morbius” will make $33 million in its opening weekend against a $75 million budget. Independent trackers think it could go beyond that in its opening, perhaps in the $40-44 million range that Sony’s last blockbuster “Uncharted” hit earlier this year.

Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and Media“Morbius,” Sony’s latest attempt to extend its cinematic universe of Spider-Man villains and heroes, opened to $5.7 million in Thursday previews. The $75 million superhero film is on track to pull in $40 million in its first weekend of release. It’s a sign of just how much moviegoers love comic book fare.

and, Paramount+ has brought back together the housemates of the original season for an all-new installment. That’s right, David “Tokyo” Broom, Melissa Beck, Jamie Murray, Danny Roberts, Matt Smith, Julie Stoffer and Kelley Wolf have all returned to the Big Easy to find out what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real. As teased in the tense and dramatic first trailer, things will be just as dramatic, if not more, 22 years later as the cast of season 9, which originally aired in 2000, are forced to live in the same house as they previously did. “Julie has a controversial history with many of us,” Danny is overheard saying, before Melissa adds, “I’m not trying to mess with that lady.” Clearly this group has a lot of unfinished business to deal with that hasn’t resolved itself in the two decades since they made history on TV by showing Danny’s relationship with a closeted man in the military during the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell era of serving.

Emily Longeretta The third season of “The Real World Homecoming” is coming to Paramount Plus next month. The cast of 2001’s “The Real World: New Orleans,” including David “Tokyo” Broom, Melissa Beck, Jamie Murray, Danny Roberts, Matt Smith, Julie Stoffer and Kelley Wolf, will move back to the Big Easy for the new season, launching on the streaming service April 20.Executive producers include MTV Entertainment Studios’ Sitarah Pendelton-Eaglin, Candida Boyette-Clemons and Nadim Amiry and Bunim/Murray Productions‘ Jonathan Murray, Julie Pizzi, Erica Ross, Kevin Lee and James Knox.

The latest Marvel film has been released in the UK and sees actor/musician Jared Leto (Lord of War, Dallas Buyers Club) step into the role of the franchise's most iconic anti-hero. The film was directed by Daniel Espinosa and also stars Tyrese Gibson, Jared Harris, Adria Arjona, Matt Smith and Al Madriga.

et voila!Running time: 104 minutes. Rated PG-13 (intense sequences of violence, some frightening images and brief strong language). In theaters.The issue is personal.

There’s nothing like on-screen text over a crystal-clear establishing shot to tell you exactly how stupid a filmmaker thinks their audience is. Sometimes it’s the big, bold “PARIS, FRANCE” chyron over an aerial shot of the Eiffel Tower; sometimes we get a widescreen image of the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Capital building with a helpful “WASHINGTON, D.C.” In “Morbius,” our title character is explaining to his best friend that an experimental procedure has to be performed in international waters, after which director Daniel Espinoza cuts to a giant shipping boat, in the middle of the ocean, with the words “INTERNATIONAL WATERS, EASTERN SEABOARD” plastered on the bottom of the screen.

Sony’s Morbius is ostensibly a Spider-Man spin-off, but in many ways the Marvel movie has more in common with DC’s solemn The Batman. Michael Morbius is a moody, Byronic scientist living in New York, with rich sponsors to fund his research into the rare blood disorder he suffers from. The answer could possibly lurk in the DNA from which animal? You guessed it, the bat.

HBO sets its eyes on an August release date for its “Game of Thrones” prequel.
