DC plans to continue its momentum into 2026 with new movies and TV shows, such as Supergirl, Lanterns, Clayface, and the Prime Video series Batman: Caped Crusader.

Most people remember Andrew Garfield from his role in the Spider-Man films, so he’s often associated with heroic characters. That’s why I was so impressed with his performance in Under the Banner of Heaven, which I thought was a highlight of the show. I’m really hoping this signals a new chapter where he plays more villainous roles.

Good news for fans! The series returns on Disney+ December 10th with a two-episode premiere. This season adapts Rick Riordan’s Sea of Monsters and expands the world of mythology, gods, and demigods. But this next chapter of Percy Jackson is more than just a book adaptation – it has the potential to launch a major cinematic universe for Disney, and the existing books offer a clear path for building a larger franchise.

Originally airing from 2017 to 2020 with three seasons and 30 episodes, this series is now experiencing a surge in popularity on Netflix. Currently, it’s the fourth most-watched show worldwide on the platform, according to FlixPatrol.

Though not a typical action film, Stalker is a deeply fascinating and thought-provoking movie. Based on the novel Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, it’s a stunning display of the director’s unique artistic style.

The movie Zootopia 2 opened to huge success, earning $147 million in its first three days. This made it the highest-grossing opening weekend ever for a movie based on a Broadway musical, launching just five days after Wicked: For Good began its opening weekend.

Legends: Z-A brought back many Mega Evolutions from older games and introduced a ton of new ones, like Mega Victreebel and Mega Hawlucha, which were first shown in popular online videos. Before the game even came out, Mega Evolutions for the original Gen 6 starter Pokémon were revealed, but how players would get them caused some debate. Now, with the Mega Dimension DLC, even more Mega Evolutions have been added to the game.

Hallmark has made a lot of Christmas movies, and while most are enjoyable, some just don’t quite measure up. This list points out 15 of the weaker ones – movies that, despite having pretty settings and likable actors, feel predictable or lack depth. They’re not terrible – even the less successful Hallmark romances can be fun in a silly way. However, compared to the network’s best films, these ones don’t quite capture the same lasting holiday spirit.

A revival of the popular show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, titled Buffy the Vampire Slayer: New Sunnydale, is in the works. Sarah Michelle Gellar will reprise her role as Buffy, and Ryan Kiera Armstrong will star as a new young slayer. Armstrong recently shared with TVLine that she’s been watching the original series and has already picked a favorite episode.

Ronald Field recently discussed the film with IndieWire, following its re-release by Criterion in a new 4K restoration. He shared his appreciation for having worked with the director of classics like Paths of Glory and 2001: A Space Odyssey, but noted that the version he viewed was likely an early cut and may have been altered before the film’s final release.
