Q: Are they ever going to make a sequel to "Gods of Egypt"? It looked like it was poised to be a series.

A "Gods of Egypt" (2016) series may have been the plan at the beginning, but audiences didn't co-operate.

The film was, quite simply, a flop. In fact, it was one of the biggest bombs of the year (and that's in a year that also boasted the disastrous "Ben-Hur" remake you probably forgot about).

"Gods of Egypt" made roughly $150 million at the box office — which is a lot of money — but it cost nearly as much to make, which qualifies it as a flop.

Gaius Charles has been looking for a role as meaty as Brian Williams, better known to TV fans (and fictional high school football fans) as Smash, since "Friday Night Lights" left the air in 2008. There's a chance he may have finally found it.

He was recently cast in AMC's "Isle of the Dead," a hotly anticipated spinoff of the channel's long-running hit "The Walking Dead."
