Hotline Feature – Germain Lussier: Project Hail Mary Sequel Debate, Battlestar Galactica Returns, and Clayface Trailer

Author: MetroNews April 23, 2026 Duration: 6:54
Germain Lussier of Gizmodo joins Dave Weekley from New York ahead of the NFL Draft to cover a full slate of entertainment stories. Lussier makes the case against a Project Hail Mary sequel, arguing the film's specific emotional and narrative elements are too singular to replicate — though he puts the odds of one happening at around 30 percent. He also covers Battlestar Galactica's return to streaming on Paramount Plus and Pluto TV starting May 1st, the reveal of the first trailer for DC's hard-R horror film Clayface, and the upcoming home release of Disney's Hoppers. The conversation closes with Lussier's firsthand account from Citi Field the previous night as the Mets snapped a 12-game losing streak, with Soto back in the lineup and Lindor leaving with an injury.
