Karma Strikes Back in the New ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer' Trailer
It's been 28 years since that vengeful hook-handed killer targeted Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt), Ray (Freddie Prinze Jr.), and their friends—but 29 since the hit-and-run that set their misery in motion. In the new I Know What You Did Last Summer, a direct sequel to 1998's I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (the one set in the Bahamas), Julie and Ray are back, though the focus is clearly on the next generation of good-looking kids who haven't yet learned the importance of taking responsibility for their mistakes.
A new trailer hammers that in, with hook (again) as well as other weapons and terrorizing tactics:
The structure of the guilty parties being picked off one by one is familiar, as is the beachside setting. What's most intriguing about this sequel from director and co-writer Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge) is how it looks to use the Julie and Ray characters much like 2018's Halloween deployed Jamie Lee Curtis' haunted but still badass Laurie Strode. They don't want to face the violence in their pasts—but when it comes knocking, they're more than ready to step in and help the kids who fucked up just like they did try to survive.
Nice touch having Julie repeat her famous line, too—in a very different tone of voice.
Also: what's with the copycat hook-handed killer? Is it just local custom to wait a year after a hit-and-run, then put on the fisherman's costume and start targeting those responsible? What's wrong with the people of Southport to come up with that weird idea in the first place?
The new cast includes Madelyn Cline (Outer Banks), Chase Sui Wonders (Bodies Bodies Bodies), Jonah Hauer-King (Doctor Who), Tyriq Withers (Atlanta), Sarah Pidgeon (The Friend), and more. Maybe don't get too attached to any of their characters, though.
I Know What You Did Last Summer arrives July 18.

What to Know About Andreina Santos, Love Island USA's Newest Bombshell
A new bombshell has entered the Villa — and we have a feeling she's gonna shake things up! During Episode 15, the Islanders and fans alike were treated to an appearance from Grammy-winning Love Island USA superfan, Megan Thee Stallion, who hosted the latest challenge "Build-A-Bombshell." By the end of the competition, Megan helped usher in two surprise bombshells: Andreina Santos and TJ Palma. Andreina is the fifth female bombshell of the season, and judging by a couple of the guys' uncontrollably excited reactions, there may be trouble in paradise for some newly paired-up couples. (Ace, Taylor, and Pepe, we're looking at you!) Find our more about Andreina, below. RELATED: The 24-year-old already shares a couple things in common with two Islanders: Like Amaya, she's Dominican; and like Pepe, she was born in Spain. "I rate myself a 10 out of 10 because brains, beauty, body," Andreina said during her introduction to the show. "I'm bringing a lot of things that the boys are going to want." She also declared that the three boys she finds "super attractive" are: Jeremiah (coupled up with Iris), Nic (coupled up with Cierra), and Ace (coupled up with Chelley). According to her Instagram bio, the Taurus is currently signed with Wilhemina Models. Andreina shared with her followers in June that she'd recently graduated and earned her Bachelor's degree. "Thank you God for guiding me through this journey and thank you to my family for teaching me the best values and work ethic. I did high school in 3 different languages in 3 different countries but here I am, getting my Bachelor's. It was difficult but I wouldn't want it any other way, I'm built different," she wrote in a caption. You can follow Andreina @andreinasntos on Instagram and @asantosmarte on TikTok. Love Island USA Season 7 streams new episodes every day of the week (except for Sunday) at at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET on Peacock. So if you want to see Andreina take-on Fiji, tune-in to her first full episode as a bombshell on Friday, June 20. New episodes of Love Island Aftersun drop every Saturday.

From Fallout's Walton Goggins to Game of Thrones's Kit Harington, Marvel fans are discussing the MCU's biggest wasted castings
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The problem with building an ever-expanding universe of superheroes and villains for them to battle is that the cast list can't stop growing, often leading to some stars getting placed in roles when they could've been better used elsewhere. For example, as great as Mads Mikkelsen was as Kaecillius in Doctor Strange, it feels like the world will always have been missing a perfect pick for Magneto, or even Doctor Doom, because he's just that cool to handle either role. Unfortunately, he and a few other big names have also suffered for their spot in the MCU, and fans have recently taken to Reddit to lament how much they never got to show their full potential. One Redditor highlighted Walton Goggins in Ant-Man and the Wasp and Kit Harington in Eternals, when he took the role of Black Knight-to-be, Dane Whitman. There was also the criminally underused Bill Skarsgård as Kro (don't worry, we struggled to remember his appearance, too), as well as Katy M. O'Brien and William Jackson Harper in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Another fan argued there was still hope for some, though, writing, "I think Bill Skarsgard gets a pass here. Marvel could absolutely use him again, and a lot of people honestly don't even know that was him. I also have faith that we haven't seen the last of Goggins." One fan continued to support Goggins' reprisal of his role as black market dealer Sonny Burch, saying, "It's a damn shame that we haven't seen Goggins' character return yet. And it's a bigger shame that we haven't seen Sam Rockwell return either. Such a waste." The good news is that at this point, actors have played multiple roles in the MCU, and thanks to the multiverse, characters have and will be played by various actors, so some of these names can return in a different form. We'll keep an eye out in the hope that there's some space for the likes of Goggins, Harington, and more as the MCU powers on. In fact, for every upcoming MCU movie and show heading our way, check out our list here.

Visit Jackson Interim CEO Beth Bolton says this is an exciting event that goes beyond women walking on a stage, and is more about "the spirit of the competition." "At the end of the day, they've all put in their time on whatever their talent is, their interview, their platform, because more goes into it than just a girl walking across the stage," Bolton said. "A lot of hard work goes in behind it. I think it's exciting, it's fun to watch, it's fun to see, you never know what you are going to see." Bolton said the pageant has an economic impact on the city each year, driving revenue with more people visiting Jackson. Contestants from each state bring their friends, families, and support systems to stay in Jackson hotels, shop at the stores, and eat at local restaurants over the week-long period preparing and competing for the crown. "It's really a huge economic driver for the city, so we're just very lucky," Bolton said. Tickets for Miss Volunteer America can be purchased here. Sarah Best is a reporter for The Jackson Sun.
