For many years, Disney went to great lengths to grow its business in China. This included working closely with government officials, modifying movies to meet Chinese standards, and adjusting how its films were released worldwide – all to maintain a positive relationship with Beijing.
Everyone’s talking about the Best Actor race, and right now, Timothée Chalamet seems like the one to beat. I was blown away by his performance in Marty Supreme – he really threw himself into the role of this intense table tennis player. It’s such a complex performance, showing this character’s ambition and drive, but also these really quiet, thoughtful moments. Honestly, it feels like exactly the kind of serious, dedicated work we’ve come to expect from Timothée, and it really sets him apart from other actors right now.
The previous two Thor movies weren’t very well-received, but Taika Waititi revitalized the franchise with Thor: Ragnarok, leaving fans excited for his next installment.

John Robert Hoffman created the upcoming Apple TV drama, Wild Things, which tells the story of legendary magicians Siegfried and Roy.

The series also features a strong supporting cast including Justin Theroux as Steve Wynn, Brett Gelman, Jessica Madsen, and Justin Bartha.
Okay, look, Hellfire isn’t going to win any awards, but if you’re just in the mood for a classic, low-budget action flick, it delivers. It’s a little rough around the edges – the writing is pretty basic, and honestly, everything feels a bit cheap – but there’s something kind of fun about that old-school vibe. The story is super simple, which actually works in its favor because it lets Lang do what he does best: get beat up, get sweaty, and blast through tons of enemies. Don’t overthink it, just enjoy the ride.
I’ve always been captivated by Babylon 5, created by J. Michael Straczynski. It’s set in the mid-2200s and follows the lives of the human military personnel and alien ambassadors who work together on a massive, five-mile-long space station. The show, which originally aired from 1994 to 1998 and starred actors like Michael O’Hare, Bruce Boxleitner, Claudia Christian, and Jerry Doyle, was truly groundbreaking – it even won two Emmys during its run, recognizing its incredible special effects and makeup!
Lyonel, nicknamed the Laughing Storm, initially appears as a friendly and lively companion to Dunk and Egg. However, his story in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms highlights how fragile alliances can be in George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire world. Though the conflict between Lyonel and his companions doesn’t fully erupt until much later, it ultimately has a lasting and significant impact on Westeros.
The director’s new film proves they haven’t lost their touch, delivering both laugh-out-loud comedy and thrilling action. After a long absence, this movie is a fantastic return, and could easily be the best sci-fi film of 2026. At its heart, the story draws heavily on classic mythology.
The first season of Spartacus: House of Ashur saw several characters die, including Celadus (Dan Hamil). In episode 8, Celadus was forced to fight in the arena after Achillia (Tenika Davis) was injured. Sadly, he was defeated and killed by a Scythian gladiator whose name wasn’t revealed.
Throughout interviews for his movie Wonder Man, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II repeatedly addressed his involvement in both the DC and Marvel universes. He consistently explained that his decision to join Marvel largely depended on how his character would be written and depicted.
