Okay, so I just saw the trailer for Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, and honestly, the title is perfect. I’m really excited about this one! It hits theaters April 10, 2026, but if I were the studio, I’d release it in January – we need a fun, over-the-top movie to balance out all the serious Oscar bait like Hamnet. From what I can tell, it’s basically more of the same hide-and-seek craziness, which is exactly what I want. Grace is back after surviving the Le Domas family, but now she’s facing off against a whole bunch of even more powerful families – the ‘high council,’ as Elijah Wood’s character snidely puts it. Plus, she’s gotta protect her little sister, played by Kathryn Newton, which adds another layer of tension. And the cast? Amazing! Sarah Michelle Gellar is in it (yes!), Shawn Hatosy from The Pitt (another win!), Néstor Carbonell (seriously, that man doesn’t age!), and even David Cronenberg! There’s something so satisfying about these movies – like when Sarah Michelle Gellar straight-up stabs Sam Weaving in the trailer – that keeps them from taking themselves too seriously. It’s just a good time, and that’s what I love about it.

The animated series Arcane concluded its second season in 2024, and plans are underway for several spinoffs. The show centers on the rivalry between the wealthy city of Piltover and the developing, impoverished nation of Zaun, complicated by outside influences and the groundbreaking research of scientists exploring the potential of a mysterious energy source called Arcane.

At the film’s conclusion, Sam chooses to take on the role, but will do things his way. So far, he’s only enlisted his friend, Joaquin Torres—the new Falcon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe—to join his Avengers team. For a long time, the rest of the team remained a secret, especially with little news about the next big threat. But that might be changing now.

Felton recently debuted in The Cursed Child, resulting in the audience of the Lyric Theater screaming in joy. Like the rest of the Harry Potter cast he grew up before our eyes, and now he’s playing an adult version of Draco on Broadway. In a video for TodayTix, the 38 year-old actor spoke about how methodical he’s been about once again wielding a wand on stage. As he told it:

South Park is well-known for poking fun at pretty much any topic creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone choose. While its dark, often violent, and frequently profane humor isn’t for all viewers, the show has still received many award nominations throughout its run. Some episodes, particularly those from the show’s beginning, have been especially controversial.

The impressive lineup of heroes, featuring various teams joining forces, signals that Doomsday will be a large-scale project for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While the cast includes some surprising returns like Patrick Stewart and Alan Cumming, key characters like Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk and Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel are notably absent from the official announcement. With the first trailer arriving this month, excitement for Doomsday is building, and Marvel Studios is starting its promotional campaign by showcasing the confirmed teams at an event in Italy.

According to Nexus Point News, Claes Bang (known for Dracula), Matt Smith (House of the Dragon), and Sam Rockwell (Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die) are being considered to play Brainiac in the upcoming Man of Tomorrow film. While no decision has been made and other actors are likely also in the running, Bang has been previously linked to the role, giving this rumor some credibility. Matt Smith often plays villains, and his connection to House of the Dragon co-star Milly Alcock – who is expected to appear in Man of Tomorrow – could be a factor in his consideration.

As a big fan of these movies, I’m really excited about the third installment with Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc – it promises another complicated and surprising mystery! I recently read an interview with Rian Johnson in The Hollywood Reporter where he talked about something totally wild: the possibility of incorporating Jim Henson’s Muppets into the series. Apparently, he was asked about it, and this is what he had to say:

Netflix offers a variety of fantasy movies and series, and several have become very popular. Titles like The Witcher, which has a new movie gaining traction, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Damsel, and Troll have all performed well. Troll was a particularly big success, and its upcoming sequel is also proving popular.

The show came from J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, but the creative force behind it was the writer of the popular recent Batman films. Person of Interest centers around a powerful artificial intelligence – essentially, a supercomputer – originally designed to predict terrorist attacks. This A.I., nicknamed “the Machine” by its creator, identifies people who will be involved in violent crimes and determines if they pose a threat to national security. While the show follows a case-of-the-week format, its deeper themes about what it means to be human and the ethical implications of artificial intelligence feel even more important today than when it first aired.
