The final season of Stranger Things revealed a surprising twist: Henry Creel, also known as One and Vecna, wasn’t the original creator of the Mind Flayer. Instead, he was manipulated by it before he even went to the Upside Down. For a long time, Stranger Things left many questions unanswered. The first season introduced viewers to the mysterious Upside Down, Eleven’s incredible abilities, and the terrifying Demogorgon.
A new rumor suggests Hugh Jackman and Tobey Maguire are set to star in the upcoming Marvel film, Avengers: Secret Wars.
Matt Duffer, trying to address the negative reaction to the show’s ending, recently said he wishes he hadn’t discussed the finale at all. He also asked viewers to be understanding, but that request didn’t resonate well with many who were already disappointed by how the series concluded.
A lot of Zack Snyder fans are hoping this merger will bring back Snyder’s vision for DC and even cancel James Gunn’s plans for a new DC Universe – something they’ve wanted for a long time. However, it’s unlikely much will change right away for DC’s future. Gunn has faced similar situations before, so he’s responding to the merger with the calm and optimistic attitude everyone would expect. He recently shared his thoughts on Variety’s Awards Circuit Podcast, saying:
I moved from New York to Los Angeles in 2014, hoping to become a TV writer. But honestly, after almost a decade in New York, the city was starting to wear me down. Just before I left, a rat ran across my bare foot, my magazine had another round of layoffs, and I had a startling realization about the convenient (but cramped) layout of my apartment. Los Angeles felt like a land of opportunity, space, and potential—much like the American West did for pioneers centuries ago. My biggest concern about the move was that I barely knew anyone in California, only one of whom was a divorced mother of a college friend. So, like someone on The Bachelor, I came here hoping to build a social life.
Honestly, as much as I love a good thriller, this guy Norris is really stressed. He’s dealing with a ton at work – a shaky oil deal financed by this shady character Gallino, trying to protect his son Cooper from getting mixed up with the same guy, and just generally putting out fires as a landman. But you know what’s worse? He actually dreads coming home. It’s like his personal life is even more chaotic than his job!
In an interview with JoBlo, Simu Liu praised Jenna Barrera’s dedication while filming The Copenhagen Test, noting she consistently challenges herself. He then publicly campaigned for Barrera to be cast as Wonder Woman in the new DC Universe, even directly mentioning James Gunn. Liu, known for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, believes Barrera’s impressive stunt work – which he described as “Wonder Woman-esque” – makes her an ideal candidate for the role.
The recent increase in science fiction shows is driven by Marvel Studios’ decision to create multiple seasons of shows at once and Lucasfilm’s exploration of different animation techniques. Disney believes this focus on classic sci-fi themes will appeal to a broader range of science fiction enthusiasts.
The series Star Trek: Picard (2020-2023) continued the story from The Next Generation and the film Nemesis, and was much better received by both critics and fans. Although Nemesis wasn’t well-liked overall, it remains one of the most intensely dark and unsettling stories in the Star Trek universe. The film begins with a particularly haunting and frightening opening four minutes, establishing a truly chilling atmosphere.
After the first look at Supernova, Godzilla fans immediately started guessing which alien monsters from past Godzilla movies might appear in the Monsterverse. In December 2025, well over a year before the film came out, a listing on the Writer’s Guild of America website appeared to confirm that SpaceGodzilla – a very powerful, cosmic version of Godzilla – would be included.
