I remember when the first Extraction dropped on Netflix back in 2020 – it really introduced us to Chris Hemsworth as Tyler Rake, this total badass mercenary who just doesn’t seem to care about anything. Sam Hargrave directed it, and the story was basically about Rake being hired to rescue the kidnapped son of an Indian drug lord. Then, last year, Extraction 2 came out, and it upped the ante – this time, Rake was tasked with rescuing the family of a really nasty crime lord from a Georgian prison. It was a wild ride!

As a huge Marvel fan, I’m so excited for what’s coming! It looks like the fifth and sixth Avengers movies – Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars – will bring the epic Secret Wars storylines from the comics to life, wrapping up everything we’ve been building toward in the Multiverse Saga. Apparently, after these big team-up movies, the Avengers might share the spotlight a bit more with the X-Men, Fantastic Four, and other heroes. But honestly, there’s SO much amazing Avengers history in the comics, I can’t wait to see what other incredible stories they pull from for future movies! It feels like the possibilities are endless.

Sony Pictures Ireland recently posted some behind-the-scenes photos from the next Jumanji movie on X (formerly Twitter). The photos show Karen Gillan, who plays Ruby Roundhouse, on set with Christmas decorations, including a giant nutcracker and a Christmas tree. The movie is scheduled to be released in theaters in December 2026.

Similarly, The Doors pairs well with Oliver Stone’s JFK (1991), the film he made right after—and was actually developing concurrently with The Doors. It’s striking that these two large-scale movies came out in the same year. While JFK’s exploration of conspiracy theories might not be historically accurate, it’s a brilliant depiction of a man deeply affected by the 1960s, both personally and emotionally. The Doors, in contrast, offers another side of that same coin. The film’s portrayal of Morrison—constantly intoxicated, unmoored, unstable, and almost absent—feels like the only way to truly understand that turbulent time.

With season 3 of Reacher being the most popular yet, fans are eager to find out what happens next with Jack Reacher on screen. The next season, based on the book “Gone Tomorrow,” has already been filmed, wrapping up production in November 2025. Alan Ritchson has confirmed that, with post-production work included, Reacher season 4 will be released in 2026.

The story revolves around Carol and her estranged husband, Floyd (David Harbour), and how their lives are complicated by the arrival of Clark (Jason Bateman). Both men are looking for something more in their relationships, but when Floyd unexpectedly dies, Clark becomes the prime suspect. This forces Carol to confront a hidden affair she had with him.

This is a developing story…

While many are thrilled to see the Hulk back, some fans are disappointed with how his character has been handled in the Marvel Cinematic Universe recently. The Hulk was once a standout character, but the MCU hasn’t quite lived up to expectations with him since the first Avengers movie. Now, after fourteen years, Spider-Man: Brand New Day offers a chance to bring back the Hulk that fans have been hoping for.

Recently released promotional artwork for the upcoming Brand New Day confirms Mark Ruffalo will reprise his role as the Hulk. The image features the Hulk standing behind Spider-Man, alongside villains Scorpion and Boomerang. Even though he’s partially hidden in shadow, the Hulk is clearly visible and appears characteristically angry, with a furrowed brow and clenched teeth.

Despite all that, the variety of shows available on the platform has allowed some incredibly creative concepts to become some of today’s best TV. This includes everything from complex science fiction and intense spy stories to shows imagining life after a disaster. While Apple TV’s Severance is often seen as a standout, it faces strong competition from other excellent series.
