Jack Quaid is a Younger, Clumsier Man of Steel

The new animated series from Adult Swim and Max follows Clark Kent in his early days at The Daily Planet alongside Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen.

Jack Quaid is perhaps best known as a hater of superheroes on The Boys. Now, he’s going to portray the biggest superhero of them all.

The new trailer for Adult Swim’s upcoming animated series My Adventures With Superman finds Quaid lending his voice to the Man of Steel. Quaid’s Clark Kent is joined by Alice Lee as Lois Lane and Ishmel Sahid as Jimmy Olsen. The three are newcomers at The Daily Planet in the series, and Lois sees the newly–arrived Superman as their key to graduating to “real reporters.”

So far, Lois has no idea that Superman himself works right beside her – though the fact that Clark’s clumsiness inadvertently triggers his powers could very well tip her off.

“I can do this! I’m gonna hide my powers and be a normal man having a normal day, starting now,” the hero says in the new trailer, right before accidentally ripping the handle off a door.

My Adventures With Superman was originally announced in 2021, alongside Batman: Caped Crusader. The latter show was canceled by HBO Max last year, but saved by Amazon. It will probably be a while before we see anything from it, but Quaid’s Man of Steel will be soaring this summer.

My Adventures With Superman will premiere with back–to–back episodes at midnight on Adult Swim on Thursday, July 6, with new episodes following every Thursday after that and streaming the next day on Max. Check out the key art below and the trailer above.

Jack Quaid Set to Star in ‘Companion’

Drew Hancock wrote the script and will also direct the movie.

Jack Quaid, one of the stars of Amazon’s The Boys, has signed on to topline Companion, a sci-fi thriller from the team behind last year’s horror hit Barbarian.

Drew Hancock wrote the original script and is making his directorial debut with the feature, whose many plot points are being kept hush-hush.

Despite the secretive nature of the project, the pedigree is notable. Zach Cregger, who wrote and directed Barbarian, is producing the feature along with Raphael Margules and J.D. Lifshitz of BoulderLight Pictures, right now some of the biggest hustlers in town, and horror kingpin Roy Lee of Vertigo.

BoulderLight’s Tracy Rosenblum and Vertigo’s Andrew Childs will executive produce.

Companion was won by New Line in a hot horror auction near the beginning of the year. It was initially going to act as BoulderLight and Cregger’s follow-up to Barbarian before the filmmaker switched tracks to focus on his own script, Weapons, also now casting and at New Line. But the team helped Companion land not just a home but greenlit the start of production, backing Hancock to make his directorial debut.

Quaid is having a geek moment this week. The actor is one of the voice stars of the popular Paramount+ animated series Star Trek: Lower Decks and starring in another hit Star Trek show, Strange New Worlds. In the trailer for the series, it was revealed that he would be crossing his character, Ensign Boimler, over to the live-action realm when the new season begins June 17.

Quaid also starred in Paramount’s 2002 reboot of Scream alongside legacy cast members Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette, and next appears as part of the all-star cast of Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, which includes Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, and Emily Blunt. Oppenheimer is due to hit theatres on July 21.

The actor is repped by UTA, Anonymous Content, and Sloane Offer.

Star Trek: Lower Decks Stars Enter the World of Live Action

The Lower Decks crew have entered live–action!

The new trailer for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2, premiering on Paramount+ this June 15, brings with it our first look at the big crossover event. Jack Quaid and Tawny Newsome, who voice the animated characters Beckett Mariner and Brad Boimler on Star Trek: Lower Decks, will embody their characters in live–action form.

“Surprise!” Newsome’s Mariner tells a perplexed Captain Pike (Anson Mount) and Spock (Ethan Peck), alongside a noticeably purple–haired Boimler.

Quaid and Newsome will appear in a season 2 episode directed by Jonathan Frakes, a.k.a. Captain Riker from Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Picard. The hour will also feature animation in addition to the actors’ live–action performances.

Quaid previously teased the television event to EW by saying, “Ethan Peck and I have a bromance for the ages. We call it Spoimler: Spock and Boimler. It’s amazing, but that whole cast is so friendly and welcoming and cool. We just had a ball, and we got to be directed by Jonathan Frakes. So what could be better?”

The trailer teases that Spoimler bromance with Spock giving Boimler the Vulcan salute as he’s about to beam off ship. “Live long and prosper, Mr. Boimler,” he says.

The footage also gives fans a fresh look at Paul Wesley’s James T. Kirk and new addition to the cast Carol Kane, who will portray the recurring role of Pelia.

Returning are Rebecca Romijn as Una Chin–Riley, Jess Bush as Christine Chapel, Christina Chong as La’An Noonien–Singh, Celia Rose Gooding as Nyota Uhura, Melissa Navia as Erica Ortegas, and Babs Olusanmokun as Joseph M’Benga.

Episodes of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will drop weekly every Thursday starting June 15.

‘The Boys’ Season 4 Wraps With Gory Behind-the-Scenes Images

The team is packing up and finally returning home from Canada as series creator Eric Kripke announced that filming has officially wrapped on Season 4 of The Boys. Happily standing with series stars Jack Quaid and Karen Fukuhara, who are both unsurprisingly covered in blood, Kripke shared the wonderful news on his Twitter account. Thanking the team for all their blood, sweat, and tears (literally), his caption revealed that the final day of production was a long one with filming finally wrapping around 2 a.m. “Bloody. But triumphant,” the Supernatural creator and the rest of the team were happy to call it quits for the year.

Beginning back in August, the beautiful minds and faces behind Prime Video’s hit series have been hard at work, chugging along on production for the highly anticipated fourth season. As they’re known to do, the show’s genius marketing team has kept audiences engaged with what’s to come from the series through behind–the–scenes shots and promotional updates. Returning star Simon Pegg, who will be reprising his role as Hughie’s (Quaid) father, shared the news of his filming wrap back in January with Homelander himself, Antony Starr, jumping on the gratitude train – or rather airplane – in a wrap post just last week.

While not much is known surrounding what we can expect from Season 4 of The Boys, the end of the third season gave us a taste of what’s to come. The daddy issues will continue to play out as Ryan (Cameron Crovetti) has moved to the dark side to stand with his biological father and homicidal maniac, Homelander. Politics will again be a main focus of the upcoming installment as the final moments of Season 3 saw the leader of the Seven making moves to further his political career. With Starlight (Erin Moriarty) now on their side, the titular group of Supe–fighting misfits will be stronger than ever but with Butcher’s (Karl Urban) recent cancer diagnosis, they may find themselves crumbling sooner than expected.

Who Will Be in Season 4 of The Boys?

We can expect the familiar faces of the gang to return with Moriarty, Urban, Quaid, Fukuhara, Laz Alonso, and Tomer Capone back in the fight. With Starlight and Black Noir (Nathan Mitchell) now gone from the Seven, that only leaves Homelander, The Deep (Chace Crawford), and A–Train (Jessie T. Usher), so the chance that some new Supes will be rising through the ranks is high. We know that there will be at least two new Supes debuting their powers in the upcoming season with Susan Heyward as Sister Sage and Valorie Curry as Firecracker. There’s also the addition of Supernatural and The Walking Dead alum Jeffrey Dean Morgan in an undisclosed role.

As of right now, no release window for Season 4 of The Boys has been announced but stay tuned to Collider for updates. You can check out Kripke’s Twitter post below.

‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ Renewed for Season 5

Star Trek: Lower Decks has officially been renewed for Season 5 several months ahead of Season 4’s debut on Paramount+. The streamer announced today that the adult animated season would be getting a 10–episode order for its fifth season, along with a summer release window for the long–anticipated Season 4.

Lower Decks is Star Trek‘s most comedic offering with the series hailing from the mind of Emmy Award winner Mike McMahan (Rick and Morty, Solar Opposites). The series follows the crew of the USS Cerritos, namely a handful of ensigns tasked with the most menial work Starfleet has to offer—but that doesn’t mean they don’t get up to some of the Federation’s most wild adventures. Lower Decks‘ animated format and adult target audience have allowed the series to truly take the franchise where none of its series have gone before. Ensigns Mariner (Tawny Newsome), Boimler (Jack Quaid), Tendi (Noël Wells), Rutherford (Eugene Cordero), and Provisional Ensign T’Lyn—a new addition to the group following the Season 3 finale—are set to run into new and classic aliens on their upcoming adventures as they attempt to keep up with their duties.

Lower Decks Is Boldly Going to Strange New Worlds

While we don’t know much about the plot of Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 4, it was announced during SDCC that the lower deckers would be making a trip to the Enterprise. During the convention’s Star Trek Universe panel, Newsome and Quaid joined Anson Mount on stage to announce that Season 2 of Strange New Worlds will feature a crossover episode between the two shows. It’s anyone’s guess how the two shows will collide given that they’re set at different points in the Star Trek timeline, but we do know that the episode will feature Newsome, Quaid, and the other lower–deckers playing themselves, as well as animated versions of the Strange New Worlds cast.

Paramount+ Sets Star Trek Release Schedule Through 2024

In addition to the news of Lower Decks‘ renewal and release window, Paramount+ announced that Strange New Worlds has been renewed for Season 3 with Season 2 set to hit the streamer on June 15. Star Trek‘s other animated series, Prodigy, which follows a rag–tag group of alien kids under the watchful eye of a Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) hologram, has set a winter release window for Season 2. And though it was recently announced that Star Trek: Discovery will be ending with Season 5, we still have several episodes to look forward to when the series returns in early 2024.

Meanwhile, Star Trek: Picard is currently airing its incredible third and final season. With only a few weeks left until the series finale, you still have time to catch up on Paramount+, and join the chorus of fans and cast members hopeful for a Star Trek: Legacy spin–off series. While we wait for more Star Trek news you can check out our recent chat with Star Trek legends Gates McFadden and Patrick Stewart down below.
