The early leak of nearly all the cards from Chaos Rising definitely took some of the excitement away. Still, players and collectors were clearly enthusiastic when the set finally came out on May 22, 2026.

Many characters in Attack on Titan seem destined to be seen as heroes or sacrifices, but their own actions ultimately ruin that image. They make choices they can’t undo. What’s truly heartbreaking is that these characters aren’t necessarily villains; some are simply frightened and damaged, while others genuinely believe they’re doing what’s best. Ultimately, though, no one in Attack on Titan gets to decide how they’ll be remembered.
I remember back in 2022, things were really rough for Activision. Their stock price had plummeted after a bunch of serious allegations about sexual harassment and misconduct came out. Instead of trying to fix things internally, the CEO at the time, Bobby Kotick, decided to sell the company to Microsoft. Honestly, a Swedish pension fund even publicly said the price Microsoft paid was way too low – it was a pretty shocking situation to watch unfold as a fan.
As a huge comic book movie fan, it’s amazing to see how Hollywood keeps turning to these stories – from the really old comics to the cool indie stuff today. They consistently make big money! But while everyone knows the huge hits like Spider-Man: No Way Home and The Dark Knight, there are so many other great movies that just don’t get the attention they deserve. If you’re a fan of comic book films, you seriously need to seek out these overlooked and unfairly criticized adventures!
Jamie Bell joins Sam Claflin as Duke Shelby, the half-brother of Charles Shelby – a character previously played by Barry Keoghan in the film. The movie hinted that Duke might leave behind his criminal life, but the new series suggests he hasn’t changed his ways. Jessica Brown Findlay, Lashana Lynch, and Lucy Karczewski also star in the untitled spin-off. There’s even a possibility Tom Hardy will appear, after being let go from the show Mobland. Hardy is known for playing Alfie Solomons, a mobster in Peaky Blinders who famously returned from the dead once before within the Blinders storyline. Currently titled Peaky Blinders: This Time It’s Post-WWII, the series is expected to air on BBC One and Netflix later this year.
My wife is a big snacker, so I got this really cool charcuterie book to try and create some nice little boards for her. It’s full of pictures, which is helpful, and I enjoy putting everything together – different cheeses, little nibbles, that sort of thing. She’s not a huge meat eater, so I often swap that out with things like tuna, nuts, and especially berries – she loves berries! Honestly, the way she snacks is kind of adorable, though the little munching sounds can get a bit much sometimes, so I’ll admit I sometimes put on headphones when we’re in bed. But seeing her snack actually makes me want to join in, which is a fun little side effect!
While captivating while you’re watching it, The Black Ball doesn’t necessarily linger in the memory afterwards – its reach sometimes exceeds its grasp. The film generated a lot of excitement at its premiere in Cannes. It’s the second feature from directing duo Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo (known as Los Javis), and a bigger, more ambitious project than their first film, Holy Camp!, which was based on their stage musical about two teenage girls sent to a Catholic camp. However, like Holy Camp!, The Black Ball has a sincere and heartfelt quality that carries it through moments that might feel awkward or overly sentimental with a different director. The film takes its name from an unfinished play by Lorca about a young man ostracized for suspected homosexuality when trying to join his father’s casino. But the surviving fragments of Lorca’s work served more as inspiration for the filmmakers and screenwriter Alberto Conejero, who also wrote a play about Lorca and his lover, Rafael Rodríguez Rapún, which also influenced the story.
