Marvel Studios is starting to promote its upcoming 2026 series, *Vision Quest*. Paul Bettany has confirmed that the show is the third part of the story that began with *WandaVision*. To build excitement, Marvel is holding a large panel at New York Comic-Con to discuss *Vision Quest* and its place within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Ares is the third film in the Tron series, continuing the story after Tron (1982) and Tron: Legacy (2010). While the previous films weren’t massive successes in theaters, and this one likely won’t be either, Disney invested a reported $180 million to keep the Tron franchise alive. Disney actually makes most of its money from theme parks and cruises, not movies, and refreshing the Tron brand – even if Ares doesn’t perform well at the box office – helps increase the popularity of attractions like the Tron Lightcycle / Run rollercoaster at Disney World. Fortunately, the new movie also has a compelling story to tell.
Channing Tatum recently spoke with Entertainment Weekly about his research for a new film based on the true story of Jeffrey Manchester, who is currently in prison in Raleigh, North Carolina.

During a recent appearance on *LIVE with Kelly and Mark*, Jamie Lee Curtis discussed how her new movie differed from her previous roles and the new skills she learned, such as motorcycle riding and long-distance running. She admitted the highly anticipated 2025 film was intimidating, as it required her to do things she’d never done before and get into much better physical shape – she joked she wasn’t quite at Tom Cruise’s level yet. She then shared:
The third season of *Elsbeth* is almost here, and Carrie Preston recently chatted with Jesse Tyler Ferguson on his show, *Dinner’s on Me*. While they discussed the upcoming season, they also talked about last season’s villain and Preston’s husband, Michael Emerson. They shared the story of how they met and fell in love while performing *Hamlet* at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival.
Andrew Garfield recently addressed the possibility of a third *Amazing Spider-Man* movie.

According to ComicBook.com, the 2004 film *Hellboy* is now available on Paramount+, but other movies in the *Hellboy* series aren’t currently on the platform. The movie stars Ron Perlman and features Selma Blair, Jeffrey Tambor, Karel Roden, Rupert Evans, and John Hurt. Guillermo del Toro directed and wrote the film, which is based on the first *Hellboy* comic, *Hellboy: Seed of Destruction*, created by Mike Mignola and published by Dark Horse Comics.
Tim Burton already has a history with the story of Frankenstein, including Mary Shelley’s original novel in his collection. His film *Frankenweenie*, which he originally made as a short film, retells the basic *Frankenstein* story and also celebrates the classic Universal monsters he loved as a child. It might seem strange that another of Burton’s films would explore similar ideas, but *Corpse Bride* beautifully captures the heart of what the *Frankenstein* story is really about.
