    Rosario Dawson was last seen on the big screen last year with buddy comedy movie “Jay and Silent Bob Reboot” and post-apocalyptic comedy “Zombieland: Double Tap”. This year, she lent her voice to Wonder Woman in a direct-to-video animated superhero movie “Justice League Dark: Apokolips War”. She also starred in David Oyelowo’s directorial debut “The Water Man”.
    On TV, she joined the voice actors of Netflix’s animated series “The Last Kids on Earth” since last year. She also played a lead role on USA Network’s “Briarpatch”. She’s additionally tapped for the second season of “Star Wars” spin-off “The Mandalorian”.
    The actress previously revealed her dream roles. “The two universes, ‘Star Trek’ and ‘Star Wars.’ I get in those two, I’m telling you, man, that’s it. I will just retire,” she said. “And then I can just concentrate on going to school and running for office. That would be it.”

      AceShowbiz – Michael Keaton is set to take on his first starring role on a TV series for the small screen adaptation of the bestseller “Dopesick”.
      Inspired by Beth Macy’s 2018 novel of the same name, the Hulu show explores the U.S. opioid epidemic through the stories of young addicts, drug dealers and medical professionals.
      Keaton, who portrays a doctor at the center of a pharmaceutical scandal, will also serve as executive producer, while Barry Levinson will direct “Empire” screenwriter Danny Strong’s script.
      “I’m so thrilled to tell this story with a company as bold and as daring as Hulu,” said Strong in a statement. “The opioid crisis is one of the most important stories of our time and I’m honored to not only pay tribute to its victims but to shine a light on the heroes that fought back. Laws were broken and many lies were told. The system failed us and ‘Dopesick’ is going to show everyone how it all happened.”
