Details about the next *Minecraft* movie are scarce, but it’s expected to be a major hit. *A Minecraft Movie* was a huge success this summer, contributing to one of Warner Bros.’ best years ever. It practically carried the studio, much like how it supported Paul Thomas Anderson during his press tour! The main update shared was the release date: *Minecraft Movie 2* (the title is still to be determined) will be released on July 23, 2027 – the same date as the second *Simpsons* movie.

Here’s all you need to know about the upcoming animated series.

Here’s what happened in the Peacemaker Season 2 finale.

The season finale of *Peacemaker* resolved the situation with the 11th Street Kids by having them use Vigilante’s money to form a new group called Checkmate. James Gunn has hinted that Checkmate will be significant in the upcoming DC Universe, and its connections to the DC Comics source material suggest it will have a major role.

Yes, Tron: Ares does have a mid-credit scene.

Episode 4 of *Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test* saw the departure of its most well-known contestant, Jussie Smollett. Many were surprised to see him on TV again, especially on Fox. His elimination was particularly emotional, and I didn’t anticipate such a strong reaction.

Rick Flag Sr. suggested to the Secretary of Defense that they turn Salvation into a prison specifically for metahumans, arguing that existing facilities like Arkham and Belle Reve couldn’t hold supervillains anymore. Though the Secretary was unsure, the season finale of *Peacemaker* showed Rick Flag Sr. kidnapping Christopher Smith (Peacemaker) and imprisoning him in Salvation as a test subject – the first “volunteer” to experience the facility’s effects. This is all part of Flag Sr.’s plan to get revenge on Peacemaker for killing his son, Rick Flag Jr., in *The Suicide Squad*.

The show *9-1-1* is back for the 2025 season, and while it was sad to see Peter Krause’s character, Bobby Nash, gone, the show paid tribute to him throughout the ninth season. There was also a fun *Star Trek* reference, and the season promises to be full of excitement for viewers.

Andy directly asks Adriana if she and Julia had sex, and her response – “I don’t have a dick” – is shockingly evasive, reminiscent of Bill Clinton’s famous denial. The awkward silence that follows speaks volumes. Andy points out that sex doesn’t require a penis, but Adriana weakly replies, “Not really.” This is baffling – countless sexual acts don’t involve penetration. It seems Adriana has a very limited definition of sex; if she received incredible oral sex, would she deny it was sex? If not, she desperately needs to expand her understanding of pleasure. Later, when Stephanie suggests they could have experimented with a position called ‘scissoring,’ Adriana insists she hasn’t done that with anyone either.

For fans of *Peacemaker*, the season finale is now available, with Season 2 set to premiere in 2025. Last month’s episodes ended with Christopher Smith (Peacemaker) and his team – Emilia Harcourt, Leota Adebayo, John Economos, Adrian Chase, and Judomaster – returning from their mission to Earth-X. Peacemaker turned himself and the powerful Quantum Unfolding Chamber over to A.R.G.U.S., but it looks like his alternate-reality counterpart, Keith Smith, is about to become a major threat.
