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.
While most Marvel Cinematic Universe villains are only shown imprisoned within the movies or shows themselves due to their actions, a small number actually went to jail before appearing on screen. Surprisingly, the number of MCU villains who’ve been in prison, both on and off screen, is equal to the number of superheroes who have been depicted in prison throughout the franchise.
Daredevil and Kingpin’s conflict isn’t usually a direct fight. They typically battle through strategy, political maneuvering, and by using their respective networks. However, when they do physically fight, it’s always an incredible showdown. The upcoming second season of Daredevil: Born Again is set to end a seven-year period without a physical confrontation between the two, with trailers confirming at least one major fight scene.
When problems arise on the ship, Troi unexpectedly steps up to take charge. Though she’s been a key character throughout the series, she’s usually been relegated to offering advice or support. However, in the episode “Disaster,” Troi proves she’s a capable leader, building on skills she’s developed over time. This episode shows a new side of her, moving beyond her familiar role as just a counselor.
