Bill Hader, along with Will Forte and John Solomon, created the character MacGruber as a spoof of action heroes from 1980s and 90s TV shows like MacGyver, known for its resourceful protagonist. The character started as popular sketches on Saturday Night Live and eventually became a feature film in 2010, joining a small group of SNL creations like Wayne’s World and A Night at the Roxbury to make the jump to the big screen. Although the movie wasn’t a huge box office success – it earned $9.3 million worldwide on a $10 million budget – it has since developed a dedicated fan base. People appreciate its silly and often immature humor, and many consider it a hidden comedic treasure.

The shocking reveal of a hero turned villain happened in New Titans #34, written by Tate Brombal and illustrated by Sami Basri. The previous issue left the Titans stuck repeating the same events, forcing them to relive battles and personal struggles. The issue concluded with what seemed like the deaths of Donna Troy and Arsenal, and introduced new heroes Jon Kent, Wonder Girl, Batgirl, and Kid Devil.

The fifth season of Emily in Paris, released in 2025, concluded with a hint of what’s to come: Emily received a postcard asking her to meet Gabriel in Greece. This suggested the show would move to a new location after filming in Rome and Venice. Recently, it was confirmed that season 6 will be filmed in Greece and Monaco.

The third episode of the series, titled “Every One of You Sons of Bitches,” features the villain Homelander starting to see himself as a messianic figure, much like Jesus. While this fits with his already inflated ego, the timing is notable, as a similar AI-generated image of Donald Trump as Jesus circulated online just days before. However, according to creator Eric Kripke, this storyline wasn’t inspired by current events; the episode was actually written before the election.

If you’re looking for a celebrity who’d be perfect for the show Taskmaster, Olivia Colman immediately comes to mind. Before winning an Oscar for The Favourite, she was a well-known comedic actress in the UK, appearing on shows like That Mitchell and Webb Look, Peep Show, and Would I Lie to You?. In fact, she’s arguably more popular now. Taskmaster usually films in large batches, but the live portions require some interaction, and Colman might prefer to stay based in London. Another great choice would be Emma Thompson – she’s a Cambridge Footlights alum and naturally funny. Could Helen Mirren do it? Probably not, though her surprising role in the Fast & Furious films suggests she might be open to anything, and perhaps willing to cause some chaos in the Taskmaster house.

As a big fan of the Chicago shows – Fire, PD, and Med – I’ve been hearing that NBC is starting to wrap up some current storylines while subtly setting up things that won’t come to fruition until the 2026-2027 season. The good news is all three shows are already renewed, giving the writers plenty of time to create satisfying season finales. But, be warned, we’re in for a bit of a wait! They’re taking a mid-season break before continuing the stories, so we’ll have to be patient.

Sony Pictures shared a fresh image from the upcoming movie Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse at CinemaCon 2026. The image showed what younger versions of the characters Aaron Davis (played by Mahershala Ali) and Jefferson Davis (played by Brian Tyree Henry) will look like.

Here are the seven new titles that Warner Bros. has dated in 2027 and 2028, in order of release.

The first trailer for Godzilla Minus Zero briefly shows the reborn Godzilla that will once again threaten Japan, two years after being defeated in Minus One. The trailer appears to feature two distinct versions of Godzilla – or possibly two separate Godzillas, rather than a different monster – one of which is a more menacing form with spiky shoulders. The other looks similar to the Godzilla from Minus One, but is much larger, towering over the Statue of Liberty in the trailer’s closing scene. While its exact size hasn’t been confirmed, we can use details from the trailer to guess how much bigger this new Godzilla is.
