Collider Ladies Night & Collider Forces

When Asa Germann started working on Gen V , it was only his fourth day on a film set — ever. He had worked on Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story with Evan Peters for three days, but that was it. Germann had theater experience and always felt “very committed to training as an actor,” but he still had to wait for his big break on the screen to come through. It may have taken time — six years, in fact...

In celebration of the release of Hedda on Prime Video, Tessa Thompson joined Perri Nemiroff for a Collider Ladies Night conversation! During their chat, Thompson revisits working on Veronica Mars with Kristen Bell and discusses how Justin Simien 's Dear White People was a personal acting game-changer. She also digs into the reality of joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and celebrates her longs...

Lizze Broadway  was an  instant high-priority guest  for  Collider Ladies Night   when  Gen V  wrapped its Season 1 run back in November 2023. Two years later, nothing has changed. Yet again, in Season 2, Broadway is a standout in an ensemble that’s filled with top-tier actors. Not only is Broadway a consistent scene-stealer courtesy of pitch-perfect line deliver...

D’Arcy Carden is the best kind of busy right now. She just wrapped her run on the Emmy award winning series The Handmaid’s Tale where she managed to swoop in during the show’s sixth and final season and quickly establish herself as a fan favorite character. Right now she’s in production on a highly anticipated and star studded Peacock series based on Elin Hilderbrand ’s novel, Five Star Weekend ....

I’ve been saying this for quite some time now;  Rosa Salazar  is an epic force in this industry. Not only is she brimming with undeniable screen presence, but she’s also amassed a filmography packed with uniquely ambitious projects. After getting her start with  American Horror Story  and  Parenthood , Salazar jumped into two of the most popular young adult film franchises...

Miranda Cosgrove  began her journey in film and television as a Nickelodeon mainstay, and now she's busy carving out a similar space for herself over at Netflix as she celebrates the release of her second romantic comedy for the streamer. Just last year she starred in  Mother of the Bride  opposite  Brooke Shields ,  Benjamin Bratt , and  Chad Michael Murray , and now...

Career ups and downs are inevitable. Arden Cho just took 20 years’ worth of acting highs and lows, funneled them all into a powerhouse voice performance, and churned out one of the very best cinematic characters of 2025, a Netflix character who well-aligns with her own personal creative goals as an actor and is also proving to be a character who can inspire anyone . Cho leads the voice cast of one...

I had my first chat with Jane Levy in March 2013. Twelve years and a slew of interviews later, she finally joins me in-studio for a Collider Ladies Night conversation in celebration of one of my favorite performances she’s ever delivered, playing Tammy opposite David Strathairn in Angus MacLachlan ’s A Little Prayer . As many well know, I went quite hard covering 2013’s Evil Dead and Zoey’s Extrao...

Margaret Qualley is a true one-of-a-kind force in film and television. Her work is always appointment viewing because her filmography is brimming with variety and unique characters that challenge her to swing big in new ways. From The Leftovers and The Nice Guys to The Substance and Honey Don’t , those roles don’t work unless they’re filled with an actor willing to pour every ounce of themself int...

Back in April 2024 , I was lucky enough to visit the set of Noah Hawley ’s Alien: Earth in Thailand where I played detective with stars Samuel Blenkin and Alex Lawther . At the start of our three-day visit, we knew little about where Hawley and co. were taking the iconic franchise, so my one-on-one chats with Blenkin and Lawther were all about trying to figure out who their characters are, how the...

Few actors kick off their careers with productions as big as the opportunities Hermione Corfield secured early on. One of her first feature film credits is Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation in which she shares a key scene with Tom Cruise , and soon after came xXx: Return of Xander Cage , and Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi . After that, it was the indie crime thriller Rust Creek which ear...

If you’re a fan of genre, there was no better place to be at San Diego Comic-Con 2025 than in Ballroom 20 on Thursday night for the Collider Ladies Night After Dark panel. Ladies Night joined forces with the IFC Entertainment Group to celebrate two titles gearing up for their Shudder debut, and to unveil first looks at three upcoming theatrical releases. Even better? It all happened with five big-...

This year we had the pleasure of hosting two Collider Ladies Night panels at San Diego Comic-Con . The first leaned heavily into the horror genre by putting the spotlight on Dafne Keen , Sophie Nélisse , Alexandra Shipp , Katie Douglas , Hassie Harrison and their upcoming IFC and Shudder titles. Then, the next night, I had the great honor of taking the stage with Danielle Brooks , Jennifer Holland...

Chase Sui Wonders has already proven herself a scene-stealing force via titles like Generation and Bodies Bodies Bodies , but 2025 is solidifying her as an undeniable star. In March, she debuted The Studio , an Apple TV+ series in which she stars opposite powerhouses Seth Rogen , Catherine O’Hara , Ike Barinholtz and Kathryn Hahn . Mere days after that show scored a whopping 23 Emmy nominations ,...

If you frequent Collider Ladies Night , you’re well aware that I’m a big proponent of filmmaking families — frequent collaborators who stick together and also add new additions to the family every step of the way. Mike Flanagan ’s “ Flanafamily ” is a big one, and it’s a topic that keeps popping up with Molly Gordon, who’s recently found great success collaborating with close friends on films like...

You don’t get a bigger breakout opportunity than a show like The Pitt . Taylor Dearden ’s already made a big impression in the gone-too-soon MTV series Sweet/Vicious and the second season of American Vandal , but The Pitt just sent her star soaring in a wholly different way. The Pitt is undeniably (and deservedly) one of the most celebrated new shows of the year and Dearden’s performance has prove...

As though starring in a new Jurassic World movie isn’t a big enough deal, Luna Blaise also boasts an especially exciting franchise achievement. She’s right smack in the middle of one of the most iconic set pieces from Michael Crichton ’s Jurassic Park novel, a set piece that was famously cut from Steven Spielberg ’s original film . In Jurassic World Rebirth , Blaise plays Teresa Delgado . Just bef...

Allison Williams ’ filmography is loaded with variety, but it’s also packed with examples of how one project can influence another — even if they’re in entirely different genres. There’s the hit HBO comedy-drama series Girls , which first sent Williams’ star skyrocketing. As that show wound down, Williams headlined a feature film for the very first time, Jordan Peele ’s Academy Award-winning horro...

Katie Douglas is in the midst of a banner year. She just headlined Eli Craig ’s adaptation of the Adam Cesar novel, Clown in a Cornfield , and the slasher movie broke records when it hit theaters. The movie scored IFC Entertainment Group its biggest opening weekend ever. A mere month later, Douglas had another title that posted huge numbers. Upon release, Ginny & Georgia Season 3 became the mo...

An actor is very fortunate to have a multi-season run on a series. An actor is even more fortunate to get to see a series through to its natural conclusion. Lauren Cohan went above and beyond that with her Walking Dead journey. Not only did she play Maggie in over 100 episodes of the main series, but then she got to go on to headline a spin-off series opposite Jeffrey Dean Morgan , and that spin-o...

[Editor's note: The following contains spoilers through the Season 3 finale of Ginny & Georgia.] Brianne Howey ’s had her hands quite full playing Georgia in Netflix’s smash hit  Ginny & Georgia  since day one, but things take an especially dark turn in Season 3, which involves a sharp tonal shift and even more dire circumstances for the characters to power through. When the...

Similar to Sheila Carrasco , I’ve been lucky enough to have many lovely short group conversations involving Utkarsh Ambudkar , but I’ve been itching for a longer one-on-one sit-down with the Ghosts star to discuss his journey in film and television, and it finally happened with the conclusion of the hit CBS show’s fourth season. Ambudkar’s Jay has been through a lot since Ghosts kicked off in Octo...

Bassinger is at the heart of one of the movie’s most highly anticipated set pieces - the opening premonition....
