Movies

James Gunn has begun filming Man of Tomorrow, and the first photo from the set hints at the appearance of Brainiac. The image shows a chessboard with pieces arranged as if a game is in progress, along with a visitor’s pass identifying ‘Luthor, A.’ and the Van Kull Department of Corrections. This prison, first appearing in DC Comics in 2002, is located in Metropolis. While Lex Luthor was previously imprisoned at Belle Reeve, he recently secured a transfer to Van Kull following events in Peacemaker Season 2 and his collaboration with Rick Flagg Sr., seemingly for more lenient conditions.

For the past ten years, Tom Cruise has been best known for playing Ethan Hunt in the Mission: Impossible films, which concluded in 2025 with Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning. Despite the franchise’s success, another one of his movies may have actually been even more popular recently. Now, that film – and the one before it – are getting a re-release, complete with special showings.

Rogue Trooper follows the story of 19, a highly advanced soldier who is the only one left alive after an invasion. Determined to find the person who betrayed his unit, he’s joined by the digital ghosts of his fallen comrades – their personalities are now embedded in his equipment: his gun, helmet, and backpack.

It’s odd that The One Ring, a legendary and supposedly rare item, is actually quite easy to find in Tales of Middle-earth products. It’s included as a special card in every Bundle, meaning anyone can get one. Fans are puzzled by this, especially considering how much the cards are costing. Why is something so readily available so expensive?

News that Sheridan was moving from Paramount to NBCUniversal caused quite a reaction late last year. This meant Paramount, recently led by David Ellison, would lose its most productive producer to a rival company.

I have to say, Sisu is an absolute blast! It’s basically what would happen if John Wick went up against Nazis, and it’s directed by Jalmari Helander. The main character, Aatami Korpi, played by Jorma Tommila, is this incredibly stoic and quiet gold prospector who just wants to be left alone at the very end of World War II. These soldiers mess with the wrong guy when they steal his gold, though. It doesn’t involve a dog this time, thankfully – his pup is safe! – but it unleashes a level of fury and skill from Aatami that’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen on screen. It’s a wild ride!

As with many continuations of older stories, the younger characters are causing trouble for the original cast, leading the Owens sisters to leave Massachusetts for England (and partly because current tax incentives are encouraging filming in the U.K.). Lee Pace returns, and hopefully, his character will have a better fate than the male leads in the first movie. Practical Magic 2 is scheduled to be released in theaters on September 11, 2026.

After 16 years with Marvel, Park has announced on social media that he’s pursuing new opportunities.

It’s been interesting to see Langdon thriving in his job during this long Fourth of July shift, but viewers are also curious about his life outside of work. Even though other medical shows often prioritize personal storylines, we know Langdon is married to Abby and has two kids. Over the last two seasons of the HBO Max series, have there been any hints that his marriage is facing difficulties?

As a total film buff, I remember Practical Magic being a huge deal in the ’90s! It was based on an Alice Hoffman novel and starred Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman as sisters using witchcraft to deal with a really awful ex. Surprisingly, despite the serious subject matter, it’s become a beloved rom-com of that decade. And now, over twenty years later, Sandra and Nicole are back for Practical Magic 2 – it’s based on Hoffman’s sequel, The Book of Magic. They just dropped the first teaser trailer, and you can check it out below – I’m already excited!
