Summary
Is LucasFilm finally preparing to announce Kathleen Kennedy's replacement… or is something else going on behind the scenes? On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the latest report suggesting Lucasfilm is setting up new co-presidents and what that could mean for the future of Star Wars, Disney, and the studio's leadership moving forward.
We'll also be talking about the brand-new Avengers trailer dropping this morning and what impact it could have on Marvel's upcoming slate. Plus, Bond rumors continue to heat up as Callum Turner is reportedly emerging as a frontrunner for 007. We'll discuss whether he fits the role and what direction the franchise may be heading.
In Middle-earth news, Ian McKellen confirms that Gandalf — along with Frodo — may be returning in upcoming Lord of the Rings projects. What does that mean for the future of Tolkien adaptations? And finally, James Wan has expressed interest in directing Avatar 4 — so we'll explore whether that pairing makes sense creatively and commercially.

| 0:31.8 | She almost did it, but she doesn't have the right lower third. |
| 0:35.7 | Let me tell you something, Mikey. |
| 0:38.0 | What's that? |
| 0:45.1 | It is hard to be a tech genius like myself. That's why I let you guys do that. I don't worry about that stuff. It's like you have to be able to hit multiple buttons at once. |
| 0:50.1 | And that's what she said. And I can't. Now is it, is it, because I've been on his screen before, is it just you clicking on the buttons on this little kind of like square that's around the screen or is it, do you have your own little setup that you got to push? |
| 1:05.7 | Like, no, no, it's the buttons on the screen, but it's like when you put in the intro and then you have to do bring both of us up at the same time, but then you have to bring in a different overlay at the same time, which is our lower third, which is different than the lower third that was there. And there isn't, I don't know the way without a trycaster to set up what the next scene is. There is a way to do it here, but I don't know the way to do it here. So it just, it's a slow roll and everybody's got to be super patient with me, but not that |
