The first images from the upcoming film Reckless show Scott Adkins in action, both fighting and making funny faces. He’s working again with Stu Small, who wrote the script with Matthew Robert Kelly (known for Way of the Wicked and Bullet Proof). The film is directed by Elliott Montello, who has experience with action films like Mob Land and American Siege. Reckless features a strong cast including Vinnie Jones (a frequent collaborator with Guy Ritchie, appearing in films like Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch), Nicole Dean (Heads of State), Kris Johnson (Undercover Hooligan), Dean Gaffney (Eastenders), Adam Deacon (Righteous Villains), Jordon Long (Kingsman: The Secret Service), and martial arts veteran Mark Strange (Ip Man 4: the Finale).

I have to admit, I was surprised to see how well Tron: Ares is doing now. After its initial theatrical release in 2025, it really didn’t perform well at the box office – it was considered one of Disney’s biggest flops. But now, it’s absolutely dominating streaming! As of January 11, 2026, it’s the number one movie on pretty much every chart, including FlixPatrol, where it has a popularity score of 740. That’s incredible when you consider it’s beating out massive hits like Avatar: The Way of Water (at #2 with a score of 618), the original Avatar itself, and even Zootopia. It’s really turned things around!

A new rumor suggests Famke Janssen, who played Jean Grey in the original X-Men movies, will make an appearance in the upcoming film, Avengers: Doomsday. The Beyond Reporter, who previously made this claim last month, is the source of the information.

Nikki Glaser immediately won over the audience with her quick wit and humor. Returning as a Golden Globes host for the second time, she confidently took the stage and delivered a strong opening monologue. Known for her playful roasts, Glaser’s jokes mostly targeted those who could handle them. Kevin Hart was teased about his height and the Jumanji films, while Sean Penn endured a joke about his adventurous travels and alleged drug use. Glaser also didn’t shy away from poking fun at Hollywood’s corporate side, with sharp observations about the Warner Bros. sale and a playful jab at CBS News being a source of “See BS news.” It was a welcome dose of silly wordplay! —JM

Producer Sara Murphy described the filmmaking process as “one of the most incredible experiences of my life” while accepting the award. She dedicated it to the late Adam Somner, saying they missed him dearly. Murphy also expressed gratitude to Mike, Pam, and David for their early support of the film, and praised the abundance of original films released this year, calling it “a feast for us all.”

She also made a point of saying her husband is really enjoying the drinks and appetizers, which are definitely a perk of attending these events. Her main competition for awards so far is Rose Byrne, who previously won Best Actress in a Comedy, but most people still anticipate seeing Buckley accept several awards this season. Hopefully, her acceptance speeches will continue to be delightfully unusual, and she’ll keep eliciting a few tears from Paul Mescal along the way.

But it doesn’t stop there. Many films and TV series, even those not based on comics or focused on superheroes, still pay tribute to the comic book world by making it a key part of their stories.

Kal Penn’s character, Jay Jonah Atterbury, in the fourth season of Industry, takes familiar traits from his previous role as Kumar and twists them. What used to be playful and laid-back now comes across as unpleasant, especially when laced with casual racism. His self-deprecating humor feels less like a charm and more like a shield. Penn skillfully portrays Jonah, a co-founder of the fintech firm Tender, as arrogant and self-important. However, the season premiere also sets him up as a surprisingly sympathetic figure when he’s betrayed by his close friend and business partner, Whitney. This betrayal suggests Jonah might be one of many characters who will buckle under the pressure of the competitive world depicted in the show throughout the season.

Tessa Thompson hasn’t said whether she’ll be in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie. When asked about it on the Bingeworthy podcast, she simply said she couldn’t confirm anything, remaining tight-lipped about her potential involvement in the film, which is currently being filmed in the U.K.

According to entertainment reporter Daniel Richtman, Marvel boss Kevin Feige is considering Joe Keery for a role in a future Marvel project. While it’s unclear who he might play, fans are already buzzing with possibilities. Popular suggestions include Scott Summers, also known as Cyclops, as well as Nova or Harry Osborn.
