Beyond delivering a physically and emotionally powerful performance that rivals the creature work of Doug Jones in Guillermo del Toro’s films, Jacob Elordi has a fascinating story behind his role. He’s a quickly rising actor who deserves this level of recognition, portraying a famous figure from both literature and film. He stepped into the Frankenstein project on short notice after Andrew Garfield had to withdraw, giving him only weeks to prepare. As awards season progressed, he increasingly seemed poised to earn a nomination despite strong competition.

Things could change in the future. After all, The Expanse was saved after its initial cancellation on Syfy, giving fans hope that Alcon will eventually continue the story on television. Plus, Prime Video is already working on another adaptation of James S.A. Corey’s work, The Captive’s War, which could potentially become the next big space opera series like The Expanse.

In 2017, Ryan Gosling starred in Blade Runner 2049, a follow-up to the iconic 1982 film by Ridley Scott. Although critics loved the movie – it received an 88% rating on Rotten Tomatoes – it didn’t make much money at the box office, earning $259.1 million globally despite costing $150 million to produce.

2026 promises a diverse lineup of movies, with both new stories and continuations of existing franchises hitting the big screen. Many of these films boast talented directors, popular actors, or are based on beloved properties, creating a lot of anticipation among fans. While it remains to be seen which ones will be successes, here are ten upcoming films to keep an eye on.

The intense crime drama Taboo first aired in the UK on BBC One on January 7, 2017, and in the U.S. on FX on January 10. It was created by Steven Knight, the writer behind Peaky Blinders, and starred Tom Hardy, along with his father, Chips Hardy. The story was originally developed by the father-son team. In a recent interview with RadioTimes, Steven Knight shared news about Season 2.

I never thought I’d say this, considering Donna Kelce is a wealthy mother whose sons are famous athletes, has her own sponsorships, and is friends with Taylor Swift. But honestly, The Traitors really wasn’t fair to her, was it?

TV show cancellations for 2025 include a mix of comedies and dramas. Some shows, like The Conners, had long runs, while others, such as Suits LA, were relatively new. Networks regularly update their lineups to stay competitive, but some cancellations are particularly disappointing. NBC is currently seeing this firsthand, as a show they canceled is now finding success on a streaming service.

Beyond what we’ve already seen, it’s still unclear what Doctor Doom is planning or how all the heroes from across the multiverse and the main Marvel Cinematic Universe will connect in the upcoming movie. That’s why I appreciate Marvel’s decision to reveal in the final teaser that a major turning point – potentially the end of an era – is coming for the MCU.

The film stars Chris Hemsworth alongside Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan, and Halle Berry, with Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Nick Nolte providing excellent supporting roles. Directed by Bart Layton, Crime 101 is based on the novella of the same name by Don Winslow and will be released in theaters on February 13, 2026. Here’s what the movie is about:

During an appearance on Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast, Woody Allen mentioned that someone at The Today Show pointed out he hadn’t released any new work in over two years. He explained that this observation came after he appeared on Jimmy Fallon and then The Today Show, with the host noting his lack of recent projects.
