According to FlixPatrol, the movie One Battle After Another is still performing exceptionally well on iTunes, reaching the #1 spot in the United States on March 17th – and topping charts in 33 other countries as well.

The film is also gaining popularity on HBO Max, climbing back onto the U.S. charts at #2 on March 17th.

Twenty years after its release, director James McTeigue has discussed the changes made when adapting the graphic novel into a film. The movie, a dystopian thriller, portrays a future ruled by fascism, and follows V (played by Hugo Weaving), a masked figure who ignites a revolution. While the film shares many similarities with the original graphic novel, there are also some important distinctions.

The biggest puzzle in High Potential is what happened to Roman. He vanished almost twenty years ago – Morgan’s ex-partner and Ava’s father – leaving behind a new package of diapers in his car. As part of an agreement with the LAPD, Morgan is getting their help to solve the case, with new clues emerging each week. However, as more of Roman’s story comes to light, it’s becoming clear that the show is handling the mystery differently than it did with High Potential Investigations.

The first look at Spider-Man: Brand New Day shows a return to smaller-scale conflicts, focusing on everyday criminals instead of huge, universe-threatening villains like Thanos. The casting of Marvin Jones III as Tombstone and Michael Mando as Scorpion confirms this shift. It’s great to see Spider-Man back to his roots, swinging through the city and taking down street-level crime.

The first trailer for Dune: Part Three was revealed at a special event in Los Angeles on March 16, 2026, before being released online on March 17th. Director Denis Villeneuve presented the trailer with stars Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Javier Bardem.

Someone online shared a short clip from the Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer. The clip shows Spider-Man receiving the key to New York City from a woman. Traditionally, the mayor—currently Wilson Fisk, as established in the Daredevil: Born Again storyline—is the one who presents the key.

While both Dune and Dune: Messiah are part of the same series, they offer very different experiences. Dune follows a traditional hero’s path, leading readers to expect a large-scale war in the sequel, with House Atreides and the Fremen taking center stage. However, Dune: Messiah takes a surprising turn. Set years later, it’s a much darker and more complex story, focusing on political intrigue and philosophical questions, and presenting a far more flawed and even troubling side of Paul Atreides.

Marvel Studios shared over a dozen logo concepts that didn’t make the cut for the upcoming 2025 film, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, in the official art book. These logos, along with early character designs, were all part of figuring out how to best introduce the team into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The final logo, for comparison, is a light blue “4” with a single line running through both the number and the circle around it.

According to Deadline, Lucasfilm’s The Mandalorian & Grogu likely won’t premiere at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival. The report also indicated that Billie Eilish: Hit Me Hard and Soft – The Tour, Pressure, and In the Grey – all films slated for release in May – won’t be shown at the festival either.

What once seemed exciting or even appealing now reveals deeper problems and a surprising amount of emotional hollowness, which is even more impactful when you look back on it. The Sopranos isn’t simply a crime drama about Tony Soprano and the mafia; it’s a deeply unsettling look at who we are, our families, the pursuit of power, and the damage caused by lying to ourselves. Re-watching the series now makes you face its dark and pessimistic view of life.
