As a comic book movie fan, I’ve seen a few different takes on Juggernaut over the years. Vinnie Jones first brought him to life in X-Men: The Last Stand, and then Ryan Reynolds lent his voice to the character in the hilarious Deadpool 2. Interestingly, Jones was actually asked to reprise the role in the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine, but he turned it down! Apparently, getting into that suit is a real ordeal – he described it as “such a drama”! It’s a shame, but I can definitely understand prioritizing comfort.

Leonardo DiCaprio plays Jordan Belfort in The Wolf of Wall Street, a film that follows the stockbroker’s journey from success to ruin, and his wild, excessive lifestyle. The 2013 movie earned five Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for DiCaprio, and Best Supporting Actor for Jonah Hill. Now, a documentary series called The Real Wolf of Wall Street is coming to Paramount+.

Okay, so everyone’s been talking about Euphoria and how the actors are clearly getting too old to convincingly play high schoolers. It looks like season 3 is going to jump forward in time to address that, which is smart. But honestly, even that might not fix everything. The biggest reaction to the trailer online seems to suggest there are still some deeper issues people have with the show, and a time jump alone won’t magically solve them. As a big fan, I’m hoping they can pull it off, but the initial response is a little concerning.

The newest issue of SFX Magazine, available on TopMob, focuses on The War Between the Land and the Sea and features several interesting interviews. They spoke with Neill Gorton, CEO of Millennium FX, who was in charge of designing the new Homo Aqua – previously known as the “Sea Devils” in the Doctor Who universe. Gorton explained that the design needed to be distinct from other classic Doctor Who aliens for a clear reason:

In an interview with The Direct, actor Yahya Abdul-Mateen II discussed his character’s choice to become a public superhero in a world where heroes like the Avengers already exist, rather than secretly using his abilities to build a career behind the scenes.

In the second episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, called “Hard Salt Beef,” the story includes a scene showing Ser Arlan of Pennytree leaving a cabin to relieve himself outside.

Okay, so this new Game of Thrones prequel is definitely leaning into comedy way more than House of the Dragon, and episode two of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms doubled down on that. While the adventures of Dunk and Egg are providing plenty of laughs, I think the real standout so far is Lyonel Baratheon – or as everyone’s quickly calling him, the Laughing Storm! Actor Daniel Ings recently talked about how he specifically wanted to bring a sense of playful chaos to the role, even before his character became the instant fan favorite he is now, and it totally works. He’s absolutely killing it at the Ashford Tourney!

Beyond the biggest hits, there are many other exciting anime series coming in 2026 that fans are eagerly awaiting. These upcoming shows, while perhaps lesser known, promise to be excellent and quickly gain popularity within the anime community.

A new three-part documentary series called Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model, directed by Mor Loushy and Daniel Sivan, will be released on February 16th.

Popular shows like Daredevil: Born Again are being revived, and fan favorites like Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock, Jon Bernthal as the Punisher, and Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones are returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Essentially, the stories of the former Defenders are getting a fresh start, and this creates opportunities to connect the current Marvel narrative with its past.
