Q: I’ve always liked Chris Noth and was happy to see him back on TV in the new version of “The Equalizer.” Will he also be in the new reboot of “Sex and the City”? I heard he was but couldn’t find anything definitive. – W.M.
A: The upcoming revival of “Sex and the City” on HBO Max, which will be titled “And Just Like That …,” is reportedly going to be husbandless, which means Mr. Big, played by Chris Noth, won’t be part of the cast. However, Noth has hinted on social media that the rumors in the gossip columns of his absence simply might not be true, wryly stating “Well, if Page Six says it … it must be true.”

Original cast members Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie), Cynthia Nixon (Miranda) and Kristin Davis (Charlotte) are excited to pick up where the HBO series and subsequent feature films left off, but they’ll be minus one important cast member: Kim Cattrall’s Samantha.
Noth won’t be idle though. His new show “The Equalizer” has already been renewed by CBS for a second season.
Q: Where have I seen the redheaded actress from “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist”? It’s really bugging me that I can’t place her. – S.S.
A: Jane Levy plays the title character in “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist,” a musical comedy co-starring Skylar Astin (“Pitch Perfect”) and Lauren Graham (“Gilmore Girls”). You’ve most surely seen Levy in another wonderful quirky show, “Suburgatory,” which ran from 2011-14 on ABC in the timeslot after the hit sitcom “The Middle.”
NBC recently moved “Zoey” from Tuesday nights back to its original Sunday night, so be sure to check your local listings in case they switch schedules again.
Q: Who’s playing Captain America on “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” TV show? – S.B.
A: The actor is Wyatt Russell, and he’s part of Hollywood royalty. Wyatt is the offspring of movie stars Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, and it seems like just yesterday when he was born (it was 1986). Incidentally, dad Kurt had a big role in his own Marvel project, the movie “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” starring Chris Pratt.
Wyatt’s first role was uncredited in his father’s 1996 film “Escape From L.A.,” but as an adult he’s had several small roles in films and series, like “Black Mirror” and “Lodge 49.” Playing the new Captain America on the Disney+ series will no doubt make him a household name and not just as Goldie and Kurt’s kid.
“The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” is the second in a long line of upcoming Marvel storytelling on the Disney+ streaming service. Tom Hiddleston will reprise the title role in “Loki” next, with several more series to follow, including one on the adorable baby Groot, which is sure to rival “Baby Yoda” in terms of cuteness.
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has stated “With Disney+, we’re able to extend this way of storytelling to a new format, creating series that are connected to our theatrical releases, making the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) more immersive than ever” – and profitable!
