Could Florence Pugh be joining the James Bond universe as Moneypenny? A new rumor claims the Thunderbolts*, Avengers: Doomsday, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day star is being eyed to lead The Moneypenny Diaries, a potential James Bond spinoff series for Prime Video. On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we discuss the rumor, whether Florence Pugh would be a good fit for Moneypenny, and what this could tell us about Amazon MGM's larger plans for the future of 007.
With the search for the next James Bond continuing, could Amazon be preparing an entire connected Bond universe beyond the main movies? And if Florence Pugh does become Moneypenny, would she also appear alongside the new 007 on the big screen?
Plus, we finally have an update on the long-awaited ThunderCats movie. Director Adam Wingard says the project is still alive, and a new draft of the script was completed earlier this year. After years of development, could Lion-O, Cheetara, Panthro and Mumm-Ra finally make their way to the big screen?
Tom Cruise is also weighing in on the future of Paramount and Warner Bros. Cruise says he's confident in the promise that a combined studio could deliver 30 theatrical movies per year. Is that realistic, and could a renewed focus on theatrical releases be exactly what Hollywood needs?
And Christopher Judge, the voice of Kratos in the modern God of War games, explains why he turned down the opportunity to play Kratos in live action. With Dave Bautista now taking on the role, Judge discusses the intense physical demands that ultimately kept him from becoming Kratos on screen.
Today's show covers some potentially huge developments across James Bond, ThunderCats, God of War, and the future of Hollywood. Florence Pugh potentially entering the world of 007 could be the first sign that Amazon has much bigger plans for James Bond beyond the next theatrical movie.
We're also discussing whether ThunderCats can finally escape development and make it to the big screen, Tom Cruise's optimism about the future of theatrical movies, and why Christopher Judge ultimately decided against playing Kratos in Amazon's live-action God of War.

With major questions surrounding **Batman: The Brave and the Bold**, the future of Wonder Woman, and the next phase of DC Studios projects, does Gunn's extension signal that Warner Bros. remains confident in his long-term vision? And how could the changing landscape surrounding Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount impact those plans?
Plus, **Tom Cruise and Anne Hathaway** are reportedly teaming up for **Days of Thunder 2**, with a 2028 release date. Could Tom Cruise successfully revive another one of his classic franchises after the massive resurgence of Top Gun?

And Marvel is bringing Earth's Mightiest Heroes back to the big screen with **Avengers: Endgame Encore**. The new trailer is generating major attention, but why is Marvel pushing Endgame again now, and what could it mean heading toward **Avengers: Doomsday** and **Secret Wars**?

Will GTA 6 become the biggest video game of all time?** The hype surrounding **Grand Theft Auto VI** continues to reach unbelievable levels, but can Rockstar Games actually deliver a game that lives up to more than a decade of expectations? On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we discuss **GTA 6**, the massive expectations surrounding its release, and whether it has the potential to become the biggest entertainment launch ever.
From the success and longevity of **GTA 5** and GTA Online to the enormous anticipation surrounding Vice City, Jason and Lucia, Rockstar has set an incredibly high bar. Could Grand Theft Auto 6 break sales records and completely dominate gaming when it finally arrives? Or has the hype become almost impossible for any game to satisfy?
We also have some major **DC and Marvel news** to discuss. A new rumor claims **The Flash director Andy Muschietti is no longer directing Batman: The Brave and the Bold**, creating even more questions about the future of James Gunn's DCU Batman.
**Avengers: Endgame Encore** is also being described as "required viewing." What has Marvel Studios changed, and could the new version contain something important for **Avengers: Doomsday, Doctor Doom, and Secret Wars**?
Plus, early **Clayface** box office tracking could spell trouble for DC Studios, **Cody Rhodes** fuels MCU speculation after appearing at Marvel Studios HQ, and **Gal Gadot** has a message for the next Wonder Woman.
### Stories For Today:
* **MAIN TOPIC: Will GTA 6 Become The Biggest Game Ever?**
* UPDATE: Rumor — Andy Muschietti Is "Not Doing" Batman: The Brave And The Bold
* Avengers: Endgame Encore Is "Required Viewing"
* Clayface Early Box Office Tracking Could Be More Bad News For DC Studios
* Is Cody Rhodes MCU Bound?
* Gal Gadot's Message For The New Wonder Woman
The expectations for **GTA 6** are unlike almost anything we've seen in gaming. Can Rockstar create another generation-defining Grand Theft Auto experience and potentially deliver the **biggest video game launch ever**? We're discussing the hype, expectations, and whether GTA VI can actually live up to them.
If you're a fan of **GTA 6, Grand Theft Auto, Rockstar Games, Batman, Avengers: Doomsday, Marvel Studios, DC Studios, Clayface, Cody Rhodes**, and the biggest stories across movies, television and gaming, this episode is for you!

Kristian Harloff is back for another  SUPER SIZED ep of the Kristian Harloff Show. We open today with Emmy award producer Andew Fried who makes his return to the show. The pair talks Chef's Table, building a brand, changing with the times, funny stories and more.
Kristian and Kris Carr will break down the biggest movie and entertainment news of the day, led by a major update on the future of DC Studios. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the Warner Bros. Discovery/Paramount merger, a new report says James Gunn and Peter Safran are expected to remain as co-heads of DC Studios regardless of the outcome. What does that mean for the future of the DCU, Batman, Superman, and the projects currently in development?
Plus, the search for the next James Bond is heating up! Callum Turner, Jacob Elordi, and Paul Mescal are reportedly among the names on the Bond 26 shortlist, but another actor may have emerged as the new frontrunner. Who should replace Daniel Craig as 007, and what direction should the franchise take with its next Bond?
We also have a big Spider-Man: Brand New Day box office battle this weekend. Can Coyote vs. ACME or Ridley Scott's The Dog Stars finally knock Tom Holland's Spider-Man out of the top spot?
Then, The Penguin star Cristin Milioti addresses whether Sofia Falcone could return in The Batman Part II, and Ridley Scott confirms he's developing another Alien prequel that would bring back Michael Fassbender's David.
Today's show has major updates for DC Studios, James Bond, Spider-Man, The Batman Part II, and Alien. With James Gunn and Peter Safran reportedly staying in charge of DC regardless of the merger outcome, what could that mean for the long-term DCU plan? And as the race for the next 007 heats up, is Hollywood getting closer to finally announcing the new James Bond?
If you're a fan of DC Studios, James Gunn, Batman, James Bond, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, The Batman Part II, The Penguin, Alien, Ridley Scott, or the latest movie news, this episode is for you!
