Comic book fans have a saying: when a trend starts appearing in comic books, it’s probably on its way out. Comic books have always tried to stay current, and some believe the very first wave of superhero comics in the Golden Age happened because publishers were simply trying to profit from the initial popularity of the genre.
Thankfully, Doctor Who ended the year with a strong story. While the adventure featuring UNIT and the Sea Devils wasn’t subtle in its message about the environment, The War Between the Land and the Sea was still a captivating sci-fi thriller. Though the story largely stands on its own, separate from the current Doctor Who timeline, it clearly established a compelling villain for season 16.
2025 was a fantastic year for animation, bringing us films like KPop Demon Hunters, Elio, Zootopia 2, The Bad Guys 2, and Ne Zha 2. Now, get ready for another great year, as 2026 promises a thrilling collection of animated movies – including both sequels to beloved films and brand new stories. Here’s a look at everything coming out in 2026.
According to Mubi, director Huang essentially asked them to stop showing his film. This came after Huang publicly criticized Mubi’s decision to accept $100 million in funding from Sequoia Capital. The investment, announced in May, sparked controversy because Sequoia had also invested in an Israeli defense company, Kela, following the attacks on October 7th and during the ongoing conflict in Gaza. In an Instagram post, Huang explained he wouldn’t promote his film unless Mubi dealt with the situation, stating, ‘We have to start saying ‘NO.’’ and that he wasn’t being overly sensitive about it.
This episode expertly brings together the two main groups from Fallout: New Vegas – groups who have been enemies for years – and also shows the Brotherhood of Steel starting to fall apart. The common thread throughout is humanity’s tendency towards conflict. Picking up where the last episode left off, Lucy is taken to the Legion’s main camp and meets Caesar, along with his second-in-command, Legate Lacerta, played by Macaulay Culkin. (It’s unclear what happened to Legate Lanius, but Culkin’s armor looks fantastic in live-action – great work by the costume designers!) The episode quickly establishes the Legion’s brutal nature when the woman Lucy saved is executed for letting her Legionary escape – a stark reminder of what happened in Nipton in New Vegas. The series faithfully recreates the Legion’s unique style, including repurposed American football gear as Roman armor, their use of Latin phrases, and their habit of calling Caesar “kai-sar.” And, unsurprisingly, they’re all a bit crazy.
Director Joseph Kosinski recently appeared on Deadline‘s Behind the Lens with Pete Hammond. In the interview, he talked about his key films, working with stars like Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, and his close collaboration with producer Jerry Bruckheimer. He also hinted at a new science fiction project where he plans to push the boundaries of the genre.
The new Hunger Games movie, Sunrise on the Reaping, set to release in 2026, will feature seven characters that audiences first met in the 2012 film The Hunger Games. This prequel takes place almost 25 years before the original story and centers around the 50th Hunger Games, showcasing the younger versions of characters we later come to know.
The ending of The Sixth Sense, revealing the truth about Bruce Willis’ character, is arguably the greatest twist in horror history. While many other horror movies deliver memorable surprises – like those in The Mist, Orphan, and 1408 – that Sixth Sense reveal still stands out.
“You have hands, no?” the expediter says without even slowing his pace.
After Angie calmed down and got herself patched up, we got this really fun scene of all the women in matching dresses, posing for pictures with this gorgeous Greek backdrop. On the way to the shoot, Heather had a moment – she called it a nip slip, but honestly, it was way more than that! But hey, it’s a vacation, right? It really reminded me of the classic days of Real Housewives of New York, which was famous for needing a lot of blurring! Poor Lisa, though, just doesn’t get the matching outfits thing. She only seems to enjoy it when the theme is all about her.
