The initial preview showed Chris Evans reprising his role as Steve Rogers in Avengers: Doomsday, even though his character retired in Avengers: Endgame. The next preview highlighted Chris Hemsworth as Thor, who was already confirmed to be returning for the fifth Avengers film.
As a huge movie fan, I’ve been thinking about the best sequels each year, and it’s not just about how much money they made. I considered what the critics said, how much of a splash they made in pop culture, and everything else that makes a movie truly stand out. What really struck me is how many incredible sequels came out in the 2010s – it honestly feels like that decade changed things, and now we’re seeing sequels more than ever before.
It’s highly unlikely he’ll reappear, and while some fans still hope he’s alive, the ninth season of 9-1-1 has strongly suggested Bobby is gone. At least showrunner Tim Minear provided a reason for the character’s death, though whether that reason was a good one is debatable. However, a decision made by ABC in 2025 regarding the show itself was confusing to many viewers.

Many people haven’t heard of Americana, but it’s currently available to stream on Starz and is gaining a following. It’s actually the sixth most popular show on the platform right now. Written and directed by Tony Tost, the film first premiered at the 2023 SXSW Film Festival, but wasn’t released in theaters until 2025. It likely would have performed better with an earlier release, as it only made $500,000 at the box office despite costing $9 million to produce.
Although established sci-fi series like Star Wars and Star Trek have had varying degrees of success, Dune and Avatar have become major franchises. On streaming platforms, Apple TV has distinguished itself as a go-to destination for science fiction television, with popular shows including Foundation, Silo, and Pluribus.
I didn’t love the initial cast for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, but each actor eventually won me over by the end of the movie. However, I immediately thought Ebon Moss-Bachrach was perfect as The Thing, especially given his role in The Bear. Before he appears in Avengers: Doomsday, fans can see him reprise the role of Ben Grimm in the new Avengers TV show.
Guillermo del Toro shared that a crucial choice he made while working on Frankenstein actually came from advice given by James Cameron. Cameron suggested removing a lengthy scene, even though he thought it was well-made. Del Toro took the advice immediately, and a seven-minute scene ended up being cut from the final movie.
