Rest In Peace Lance Reddick, A New Jordan Peele Film, Shazam 2's Box Office Woes
Shortly after Friday’s newsletter went out word broke that character actor Lance Reddick had died. Reddick’s death is tragic and shocking — he was only 60, and he was one of those ever-present actors who made every role he took unique and memorable. It just felt like he’d be around forever, and we would be blessed with decades more work from him. He will be missed.
Our obituary for Reddick is included below, along with news of a new Jordan Peele movie, the box office woes of Shazam 2, a review of Ben Affleck’s return to directing, and much more.
