Minority Mindset

In an interview with Gizmodo, James Cameron discussed plans for a new Terminator movie following the release of Avatar: Fire and Ash. He explained that once the current marketing campaign wraps up in about a month, he’ll start focusing on his next projects, beginning with a new Terminator script. Cameron already has extensive notes – enough to fill a three-inch stack – outlining his vision for the film and intends to dedicate himself to the writing process. His main challenge, however, is making the movie feel futuristic given how much real-world technology has advanced, and ensuring it remains relevant for at least a few years.

2025 started with Captain America: Brave New World, then saw the releases of Thunderbolts at the beginning of summer and The Fantastic Four: First Steps mid-year. However, none of these superhero films were major box office successes, earning $415 million, $382 million, and $521 million respectively.

The news that Netflix canceled an animated Tomb Raider series so soon after announcing a live-action show definitely surprised people. It led to questions about whether Sophie Turner’s upcoming series played a role in the decision, or if Netflix was already planning to end the animated version. Here’s the reason Netflix canceled Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft.

I understand the story jumps around in time because of the demands of professional sports – players on different teams rarely see each other. This applies to the characters Hollander and Rozanov, who are separated by distance, weather, and their commitments to their teams and families. However, these constant time jumps work much better in the book version, Heated Rivalry. The HBO Max series is based on a Rachel Reid novel that spans ten years in the lives of Shane and Ilya. The story is divided into chapters named after specific events – matches, championships, and even the Olympics – and follows their secret moments together while competing in the same city. The chapter breaks allow the story to show what happens when they’re apart, with each character’s thoughts filling in the gaps.
