The battle for Middle-earth intensifies in the new trailer for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 2. The footage debuted during a Rings of Power panel at the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con.

In the trailer, Sauron (Charlie Vickers) takes on the appearance of Annatar, a.k.a. “The Lord of Gifts, “as he tries to manipulate Celebrimbor (Charles Edwards), the elf who forged the three rings of power in season 1.

Meanwhile, Galadriel (Morfydd Clark), who noticeably wears one of the forged rings, is still dealing with the aftermath of Sauron’s deception. Galadriel and Elrond (Robert Aramayo) prepare for battle against an army of orcs in the forest. The trailer also gives fans a look at Tom Bombadil (Rory Kinnear), a Tolkien character making their live-action debut.

“As friendships are strained and kingdoms begin to fracture, the forces of good—Elves and dwarves, orcs and men, wizards and Harfoots—will struggle ever more valiantly to hold on to what matters to them most of all: each other,” the season 2 synopsis reads.

Scary Movie 6 returned after more than a decade, and the gamble paid off at the box office. The sixth installment debuted to $55 million domestically, the best opening weekend in the series' history, and went on to gross over $215 million worldwide as of late June.

Ahead of the movie's June 5 theatrical release, Wayans Bros. Entertainment launched a website called Subservient Ghostface, where you type a command and watch the masked killer carry it out on screen. It's a clever campaign that borrows directly from Burger King's famous Subservient Chicken stunt from 2004, swapping the chicken suit for the horror icon Ghostface from Scream.

Comcast's breakup sounds like an alarm bell for Peacock, Xfinity, and the monthly internet bill. At the service level, the answer is calmer. Current customers shouldn't expect subscriptions, billing, or broadband plans to change while the company works through the split.

NBC News reports that Comcast plans to spin NBCUniversal and Sky into a separate public company, moving Peacock, Universal, NBC, Telemundo, Bravo, theme parks, and Sky away from the broadband and wireless business. The separation is expected to take about a year.
