![]() Weirdly, though, there's one missing ingredient: Scooby-Doo. Yeah, who knew Velma was the Deadpool of the Mystery Gang? Velma's friends are also set to appear, with Sam Richardson voicing Shaggy (who is Black in this version), Constance Wu voicing Daphne, and Glenn Howerton voicing Fred. Velma is a woman of color in this adaptation, but the teaser got ahead of the inevitable backlash to that choice by depicting Velma herself complaining to HBO Max about an upcoming "genre-bending comedic origin story" that makes changes to an iconic character. Mindy Kaling voices the title character in this Scooby-Doo origin story centered around Velma - and, from the looks of it, it's about to get quite meta. Get ready for Scooby-Doo by way of Harley Quinn. Women who are powerful, often brutal, and always committed to subverting our current power structures." AMC clearly has big plans for Rice adaptations, as the network purchased the rights to 14 of her books for what it's dubbing Anne Rice's Immortal Universe - which will hopefully be just a bit more successful than Universal's Dark Universe. Michelle Ashford, the creator of Showtime's Masters of Sex, produces the series along with Esta Spalding, and they noted that Rice's depiction of witches "explored something new altogether. ![]() The rest of the cast includes Jack Huston, Tongayi Chirisa, and Harry Hamlin.

Once again from AMC, Mayfair Witches adapts Rice's trilogy of novels Lives of the Mayfair Witches. ![]() Annabelle crossover, someone in Hollywood is asleep at the wheel. Whether the movie can provide as much campy ridiculousness as fans are hoping for remains to be seen, though given it's from the screenwriter of Malignant, we have high hopes. But the latest installment of the killer doll subgenre became a viral hit in the fall thanks to a totally bonkers trailer that features M3GAN busting out a hilarious, TikTok-ready dance set to an eerie cover of Taylor Swift's "It's Nice to Have a Friend," leading Twitter to dub her " yassified Annabelle" and declare that she is the moment. Clearly, the film owes a lot to the original Child's Play and even its 2019 remake. But M3GAN soon develops a mind of her own and goes on a murderous rampage. Allison Williams stars as a roboticist who brings home an advanced doll powered by artificial intelligence named M3GAN for her niece, who has lost her parents. Horror's killer doll subgenre is getting a fabulous new addition with Blumhouse's M3GAN, which already became a viral sensation months before release.
