The public may never learn about Cameron and Mitch’s lives after “Modern Family.”

Eric Stonestreet, who played Cameron, expressed his dissatisfaction with a sitcom spinoff that never materialised in a recent interview with Graham Bensinger.

The sitcom would have followed the life of the married couple, played by Stonestreet and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and their daughter, Lily, played by Aubrey Anderson Emmons, as they relocated to Missouri from California.

When the series was pitched, Stonestreet was eager to participate.

“They got their chance. “[‘Modern Family’ co-creator] Chris Lloyd and a couple of the writers wrote a really great script that spun Jesse and me off in our life in Missouri,” he explained. “And they replied, ‘No.’ “They basically responded, ‘We don’t want to do it.

Stonestreet admitted that the decision caused him some difficulty because of his fondness for “Modern Family.”

“I adore my character. “I love the show,” he said. “I love Jesse. We had an excellent working relationship. “We had amazing chemistry.”

He reported that he and Ferguson “maybe felt like they thought of us as the old guys, or something like that, that didn’t seem worthy of keeping those characters going.”

“It felt a little hurtful,” Stonestreet explained. “But people make business decisions.”

The sequel would have focused on the family, who had welcomed a baby boy and relocated to the Midwest so Cam could pursue his dream of becoming a collegiate football coach. Stonestreet described the notion as a “slam dunk.”

“We had the right people in place,” he told me. “It would have been fantastic. If ABC had said, ‘Let’s do it,’ I believe we would be on right now.”

“Modern Family” aired for 11 seasons from 2009 to 2020. It received 22 Primetime Emmy Awards during its run.

Erik Menendez is upset about the “dishonest portrayal” of his life in Netflix’s “Monsters: The Lyle and Erick Menendez Story.”

Erik and his older brother, Lyle, were convicted of fatally shooting their parents, Kitty and Jose Menendez, in 1989. The two brothers, who are serving life sentences for the killings, claimed that they acted in self-defense following a lifetime of abuse from their father. Erik, in a message published on social media by his wife, termed the series, which was co-created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, “ruinous.”

Erik Menendez Says Ryan Murphy’s ‘Monsters’ Is Full Of ‘Blatant Lies’

“I believed we had moved beyond the lies and ruinous character portrayals of Lyle, creating a caricature of Lyle rooted in horrible and blatant lies rampant in the show,” Menendez wrote at the time. “It is with a heavy heart that I say, I believe Ryan Murphy cannot be this naive and inaccurate about the facts of our lives so as to do this without bad intent.”

The nine-episode series revisits the tragedy from numerous angles, including speculation about the brothers’ relationship and prosecutors’ claims that the killings were motivated by money.

“It is sad for me to know that Netflix’s dishonest portrayal of the tragedies surrounding our crime have taken the painful truths several steps backward — back through time to an era when the prosecution built a narrative on a belief system that males were not sexually abused, and that males experienced rape trauma differently than women,” said Menendez. “Isn’t the truth enough? Let the truth be the truth. How demoralising to know that one powerful man can undo decades of effort in casting light on childhood trauma.”

Murphy and Brennan have not publicly responded to Menendez’s post.

“[The show] is really more interested in talking about how monsters are made as opposed to born,” Murphy told a panel at an early screening of the show’s first episode, according to Netflix. “We try to not have too much judgement about that because we’re trying to understand why they did something, as opposed to the act of doing something.”

“Ultimately the truth of what happened is not knowable by anybody else, other than two people who are sitting in prison right now,” according to Brennan.

The second season of “Monsters” was launched last week, after “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.” Erik Menendez, 53, and Lyle Menendez, 56, are serving their sentences at the same penitentiary facility near San Diego, California. Last year, their attorneys filed a petition arguing that fresh evidence in the case should have overturned their convictions.

“Violence is never an answer, never a solution, and is always tragic,” Menendez stated in an email. “As such, I hope it is never forgotten that violence against a child creates a hundred horrendous and silent crime scenes darkly shadowed behind glitter and glamour and rarely exposed until tragedy penetrates everyone involved.”

(VOR News) – The first trailer for Thunderbolts, which is scheduled to be the final film in Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has been released by Marvel Studios.

Yes, the asterisk is on purpose, and no, Marvel Studios chief Keven Feige has not yet provided an explanation as to why this is the case.

The trailer, which can be found below, begins with Yelena Belova, played by Florence Pugh, paying a visit to her father, the Red Guardian, played by David Harbour, who is not necessarily in the best of positions. Neither of the characters appears to be especially content with their situation, and it is obvious that both of them are in need of some stimulation.

We see this anti-hero team-up take shape over the course of the trailer, with Wyatt Russell playing the role of John Walker, a United States Agent, Hannah John-Kamen playing the role of Ava Starr, a Ghost, and Olga Kurylenko playing the role of Antonia Dreykov, a Taskmaster.

All of these characters are attempting to make sense of what is happening to them while they are engaged in combat with one another. In the upcoming installment, Sebastian Stan will resume his role as Bucky Barns / Winter Soldier.

According to the video, Bucky will engage in combat with the Thunderbolts before eventually becoming the de facto head of the Thunderbolts.

The character of Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, who is purportedly in charge of the Thunderbolts, is played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus at one time in the show.

The most exciting part, however, is the first glimpse of Bob, also known as Sentry, played by Lewis Pullman. He appears perplexed when the rest of the squad show up without prior notice.

Lewis Pullman, a Thunderbolts alumni, portrayed Top Gun Sentry:

Maverick took over the position after Steven Yeun, who had previously played the role, resigned from his job. The son of actor Bill Pullman, Pullman gave a memorable performance as Lt. Robert “Bob” Floyd in the film Top Gun: Maverick, which was released in 2022.

Other notable credits include the neo-noir thriller Bad Times at the El Royale, which was released in 2018, the television series Outer Range, and most recently, Apple’s Lessons in Chemistry, in which he starred opposite Marvel star Brie Larson.

The role of Sentry became vacant after Yeun was forced to withdraw from the Thunderbolts lineup due to scheduling conflicts.

This was due to the fact that the movie was pushed back from the 2024 release slate as a result of a major reshuffle that occurred as a result of the dual writers and actor strikes. As a result, Deadpool and Wolverine would be the only Marvel Cinematic Universe movie that would be released this year.

Sentry is possibly the most dangerous and powerful superhero in the Marvel Universe.

Outside of Thunderbolts Marvel’s comics, he has little exposure.

The only time he has appeared outside of Marvel’s comics is in a few mobile games, such as Marvel Puzzle Quest, Marvel Future Fight, and Marvel Snap. Therefore, it will be interesting to see the character brought to life on the big screen.

Beef screenwriter Lee Sung Jin is working from the initial draft of the screenplay that was written by Black Widow screenwriter Eric Pearson. Jake Schreier is directing Thunderbolts, which is based on the script that Lee Sung Jin wrote.

In an earlier statement, David Harbour stated that Pearson had a “really cool” idea for the plot, which would “drop a bomb” on the Marvel Cinematic Universe sometime in the future when it is released in theatres.

In May of 2025, Thunderbolts will play in theatres.
