The release timing is important. The first Black Panther movie came out during the height of the ‘Infinity Saga’ (Phase 3), and its successful sequel, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, helped launch the ‘Multiverse Saga’ (Phase 4). However, the third movie will be the first film to kick off the next major phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, making it uniquely positioned to shape the future after the Secret Wars storyline. Director Ryan Coogler is very excited about the project, telling the Times he’s “so fired up about that movie, bro.”

As a huge film fan, I’m really excited about this movie! It seems like the filmmakers really focused on packing it with as many awesome fighters as possible. They’ve got some great actors taking on iconic roles – Jason Momoa as Blanka and David Dastmalchian as M. Bison are fantastic choices. But it doesn’t stop there! They’ve also cast Orville Peck as Vega, 50 Cent as Balrog, Eric André as Don Sauvage, and Andrew Schulz as Dan Hibiki. And get this – they’re bringing in real fighting talent too! Alexander Volkanovski, a legit MMA fighter, will play Joe, while Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes from WWE are Akuma and Guile respectively. Hirooki Goto from New Japan Pro-Wrestling is E. Honda! They’ve rounded everything out with a bunch of international action stars like Mel Jarnson (from Mortal Kombat) as Cammy, Vidyut Jammwal as Dhalsim, Olivier Richters (Black Widow) as Zangief, and Rayna Vallandingham from Cobra Kai as Juli. Honestly, if you grew up in the nineties, this movie is totally bringing back the nostalgia!

Though set over 60 years in the past, the characters in Mad Men – particularly Don Draper (Jon Hamm) and those at Sterling Cooper – often feel like they exist in a world of their own. The constant smoking, heavy drinking, and dismissive treatment of women in the office highlight just how different things were – and how far we’ve come.

The saying ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ often holds true, but some filmmakers have taken risks with Westerns, creating stories that surprise and delight. These films are captivating, often because of unexpected plot twists or, alternatively, because of their memorable characters and the way they blend elements from different genres.

Created with a reunion between actor Wyle and E.R. producer R. Scott Gemmill, the HBO Max Original quickly became one of the most acclaimed shows of 2025. It also resonated with audiences, steadily attracting more viewers with each weekly episode, and setting the stage for a second season. The Pitt season 2 will premiere on January 8, 2026.

HBO Max is now offering curated playlists on its streaming service, letting subscribers enjoy continuous streams of content from popular franchises owned by Warner Bros. Currently, you can find themed playlists for shows like Friends, DC properties, Harry Potter, The Big Bang Theory, Sex and the City, and Rick and Morty, with more expected to be added.

Just in time for the holidays, the pair opened a festive package containing a puck announcing “Season Two.” The presentation was simple and charmingly low-budget, focusing on the stars’ genuine excitement rather than flashy trailers or graphics. Storrie’s delighted expression was especially noticeable – a rare sight considering Rozanov rarely shows much emotion! The new season will be based on Rachel Reid’s sequel, The Long Game. Williams jokingly warned it would be “hotter, wetter, longer,” leading fans to wonder if he’s involved in the writing process – because those are some great ideas!

The comedy Bottoms is a wild and over-the-top romantic comedy packed with both sexual content and violence, alongside the film’s unique brand of humor – everything from long, rambling speeches to slapstick physical gags. The movie features a strong cast, including Nicholas Galitzine and a surprisingly funny performance by Marshawn Lynch. But if you enjoy Bottoms and are looking for something similar to watch afterward, there are plenty of great TV shows to choose from.

As a huge movie fan, I’ve been following the drama with Netflix and Paramount battling it out over Warner Bros., but honestly, Disney seems to be smartly sitting this one out and just focusing on what they do best. And it’s clearly working! I just read that their latest film has officially crossed the $1 billion mark at the box office. That makes Disney the studio with the most billion-dollar movies right now, with two hits under their belt – this one and the live-action Lilo & Stitch remake. Pretty impressive, if you ask me!

The discussion about celebrities with famous parents – often called ‘nepo babies’ – has been ongoing for a while, with many stars weighing in. Meg Ryan has talked about her son Jack Quaid’s achievements, and Allison Williams admitted the advantages that come with having family connections in the industry. Amanda Seyfried has defended those with famous parents, while Dakota Johnson dismissed the whole conversation as pointless. Now, Kate Winslet has also shared her perspective on the topic.
