As much as I loved seeing Marvel expand, they really seemed to hit a wall when they started trying to build out the MCU on TV. We got a few promising shows based on the comics – I really enjoyed I Am Not Okay With This, and Jupiter Ascending had potential – but sadly, Marvel just kept cancelling them after only one season. It’s frustrating as a fan because you get invested, then it’s just… gone.
As a huge fan of spy stories, I’ve noticed that Hollywood has really been digging into the classics lately – especially those amazing book series! We’ve gotten so many films and now streaming shows based on them over the last thirty years. And I’m thrilled to hear that one of the all-time greats is finally coming to streaming just as summer hits in 2026 – it’s perfect timing!

Featuring a fantastic cast including Morgan Freeman, James McAvoy, and Angelina Jolie, Wanted is a wildly imaginative and unusual comic book movie – the kind you rarely see these days.

Often, One Piece celebrates characters who are careful, wary, and able to stay calm under pressure. Beyond the fantastical powers and action, many of its strongest characters are fundamentally survivors. Some are skilled at avoiding danger, while others make good decisions before things escalate. These are the characters who could realistically survive a scary anime, even without their special abilities.
Though some writers weren’t immediately impressed, J.R.R. Tolkien’s world of Middle-earth is now recognized as a hugely important fantasy work that helped define the genre. Since it was first published, the series has been reprinted countless times and translated into over 38 languages. Beginning in the 1950s, The Lord of the Rings has deeply impacted popular culture and continues to be studied and inspire writers today.
At the beginning of the month, Gasoline Alley wasn’t a major streaming hit. But it quickly gained popularity, almost reaching the top spot on Paramount+’s list of most-watched movies in the U.S. (according to FlixPatrol). It’s currently in second place, even pushing Tom Cruise’s Top Gun: Maverick down the list. The number one movie is the horror film Primate, which was added to Paramount+ after being released in theaters in January.
