Disney and 20th Century Studios are hoping for a big finish to the year with this film. Releasing it on December 19th positions it as the final major blockbuster of 2025. With few competing movies scheduled for the rest of the year, and Hollywood traditionally releasing less-promising films in January, Avatar: Fire and Ash is expected to continue performing well into 2026.
The 2022 film Reminders of Him tells the story of Kenna Rowan (played by Maika Monroe), a woman trying to rebuild her life after a tragic car accident that took the life of her boyfriend while she was driving. After being released from prison, Kenna hopes to connect with the daughter she had with him, but faces opposition from the boyfriend’s family and the man (Tyriq Withers) who is now raising her child. You can watch the trailer below.
The day after a night out with Maidenberg and the rest of the show’s cast, Ferrucci ended his engagement – for the second time ever. While Maidenberg cried, Ferrucci simply told her she wasn’t the right fit and wouldn’t elaborate, leaving the season with viewers suspecting he was either avoiding confrontation or keeping secrets. Now the host of a dating podcast, Ferrucci says the experience taught him that healthy relationships require open communication and emotional maturity – something he’s been focused on improving since filming ended. He’s working on this by “sitting with his emotions and maybe drinking less,” and generally “striving to be a better person.”
Though he started as a major villain in the recent Star Wars films, the character became beloved by fans and ultimately found redemption. In the 2019 film, he made the ultimate sacrifice, using the last of his energy to save Rey.
The show centers around Guy Anatole, played by Nicholas Denton, a psychic who’s reluctant to work with Helen (Elizabeth McGovern) from a secret organization called the Talamasca – they keep track of everything supernatural. He changes his mind when Helen tells him his mother is actually alive and offers to help him find her, if he’ll help her stop a vampire who’s gotten inside the Talamasca’s London headquarters. Guy quickly gets pulled into a complicated world of vampires, witches, and other supernatural beings, all while being caught in a dangerous spy game.
It’s unusual for a movie series to start as merely okay and then become truly exceptional with each new installment. Typically, sequels are disappointing, but this franchise is a remarkable exception. Over nearly thirty years, it has grown into a major force in filmmaking, proving that a series can actually improve over time.
A fan account, @UnBoxPHD, recently shared the first photos of Mark Ruffalo on the set of the upcoming film in London. He was wearing a large green coat, probably to stay warm between shots, but also potentially to hide his costume. Notably, Ruffalo didn’t appear to have any motion capture markers on his face, hinting that he’ll be playing Bruce Banner in his human form for this scene. This is a change from his recent appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where he’s mostly been playing the merged form of Bruce Banner and the Hulk – known as Smart Hulk – since Avengers: Endgame.
In Dispatch, you play as Robert Robertson, also known as Mecha Man. After a dramatic opening, he’s forced to retire from crime-fighting and takes on a new job: managing a team of former supervillains who are trying to become heroes. The game is best described as a funny look at the world of superheroes and workplace dynamics, and it really delivers on that promise. It’s packed with choices, dialogue, and quick action sequences, combined with strategic puzzle-solving. While the overall story is still unfolding, the first two episodes are a strong beginning.
In an interview with Empire, Matt Duffer, one of the creators of Stranger Things, discussed the character of Dr. Kay, explaining she’s a government agent pursuing Eleven. He shared that actress Winona Hamilton will be playing a villainous role, a departure from her heroic portrayal of Sarah Connor in The Terminator.
For me, horror really took off when sound was added to movies, and especially when Universal started making those classic monster films. Since then, it’s been amazing watching the genre evolve – we’ve had everything from really artistic, ‘prestige’ horror to the straightforward thrills of monster movies, the intensity of slashers, the immersive feel of found footage, and even horror that playfully acknowledges its own tropes. It feels like each of these different styles had at least one film that truly pushed things forward and changed how we think about scary movies.
