It’s common to see a disconnect between the public image of tech billionaires and their often clumsy or questionable actions online. It’s hard to fathom how figures like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk wield such immense power, but they’ve managed to maintain a devoted following, possibly because their wealth shields them from the consequences of their mistakes. This might explain why a character on the show Silicon Valley, based on investor Mark Cuban, was constantly anxious about losing his billionaire status – he feared being revealed as foolish if his net worth fell.

The new political thriller stars Jessica Chastain as ‘The Savant,’ an operative who goes undercover to investigate online hate groups and stop potential terrorist attacks. The first two episodes were originally set to debut on Apple TV on September 26, 2025, but the release was unexpectedly delayed. Although Apple TV didn’t officially state the reason, many believe the postponement was connected to the September 10th assassination of Charlie Kirk, the CEO of Turning Point USA.

Andy Serkis, known for his performance as Gollum in the original movies, is directing a new film focusing on the character. The script is being written by Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, who previously worked on The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit films, along with Phoebe Gittins and Arty Papageorgiou. The movie is scheduled to be released on December 17, 2027, with Peter Jackson as a producer. Warner Bros. recently announced the cast at CinemaCon on April 14, 2026, revealing both returning actors and new characters for The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum.

May will see the release of several new films and shows, including the zombie horror film We Bury the Dead starring Daisy Ridley, the first movie pairing Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson (Central Intelligence), and the new Alien installment, Alien: Romulus. Ryan Reynolds’ latest project will also premiere with two episodes. Plus, Hulu is preparing for Star Wars Day with a variety of new content.

Although Jon Bernthal has had success in films, he’s become best known for his work on television. He gained recognition after appearing in The Walking Dead, and then starred as the Punisher in his own Marvel series and in Daredevil. More recently, he’s been praised for his moving performance as Michael Berzatto in flashback scenes from the popular show The Bear.

The upcoming movie Doomsday will heavily feature the multiverse, showcasing at least three different realities. We’ll see multiple Avengers teams from our main Earth (Earth-616), the Fantastic Four from another universe (Earth-828), and the X-Men from a brand new, currently secret world – which might be the same one seen in the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine. This ambitious approach to the multiverse is paving the way for a potentially game-changing casting decision for Marvel’s next big event movie.

Now that season two of Frieren has finished, fans won’t have to wait long for more – the adaptation of the Golden Land Arc is planned for 2027. And while we wait, there are plenty of other anime with a similar feel to enjoy!

Though it’s not widely known, the sci-fi comedy Sunny Side Down really gets what makes the genre tick. The whole series is available on YouTube and only takes about 15 minutes to watch – it has six short episodes, each under three minutes long. It’s a clever, fast-paced show that’s surprisingly enjoyable.

I remember when Star Trek: The Next Generation first came out – the first season wasn’t its strongest, honestly. But it quickly became something really special, delivering some of the best sci-fi TV ever made. Things like the Borg and the incredibly powerful being Q, played by John de Lancie, were just amazing, and you can still see its influence on shows today.

The initial trailer for HBO’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone subtly revealed a major villain from the Wizarding World. This hint of a plot twist, which won’t appear until Season 3 and in The Prisoner of Azkaban, occurred while watching Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter and Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley meet for the first time on the Hogwarts Express.
