Both Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Avengers: Doomsday are scheduled to come out in 2026. Recent hints about Avengers: Doomsday suggest the spell from Spider-Man: No Way Home might be reversed, allowing Spider-Man to team up with the Avengers and help save the multiverse.

Not all fantasy movies are successful right away. Some, despite having all the exciting action, compelling stories, and emotional depth fans expect, don’t initially connect with audiences. Though these films may have underperformed in theaters, they had the potential to become instant classics and deserve a second look.

Earlier this month, Quentin Tarantino publicly criticized Paul Dano, calling him a poor actor and dismissing his performance in There Will Be Blood. He also briefly criticized Matthew Lillard and Owen Wilson. However, Tarantino’s comments about Dano were the most pointed, prompting many in Hollywood – including Ben Stiller and Ethan Hawke – to publicly praise Dano’s talent and work.

I was so shocked to hear about Wilson’s passing. According to records from the LA County Medical Examiner’s Office, he died at home on November 21, 2025. His family then confirmed the news on Facebook a few weeks later, on December 13th. Their post was really heartfelt, and it reminded everyone of just how much he accomplished, both online and in his personal life. It’s a huge loss.

It’s still too early to say if Damon and Baby deserves more in-depth coverage. The game blends elements from different genres – it’s played from an overhead perspective like a twin-stick shooter, with a focus on gunplay. It also has metroidvania aspects, encouraging you to revisit areas with newly acquired power-ups. Plus, it incorporates survival mechanics, requiring you to manage resources and cook food to heal and increase your health.

Bitcoin, ever the enigmatic protagonist, has slipped into a valuation range so rare it might as well be wearing a monocle. Yet, network activity remains surprisingly robust. 🧐

If you’re interested in learning more about Pokémon, you can explore Pokémon: The Complete Pocket Guide, which comes in two volumes. Volume 1, a 560-page book, details Pokémon #1 through #442, while Volume 2, with 552 pages, covers Pokémon #443 through #898. These books offer a lot of information, though they don’t include Pokémon from the newer Paldea region (featured in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet). They’re designed to be portable and are available as a convenient two-book set. Each Pokémon entry includes details about its stats, abilities, moves, and how it evolves.

After seeing the eighth episode of Pluribus, “Charm Offensive,” I’ll always think of train horns differently. A character, Carol, describes the sound as the loneliest in the world. Interestingly, Carol isn’t alone anymore, having connected with Zosia, the being she chose to be with. They grew very close, so much so that Zosia started referring to themself as an individual again and shared more about what they’re trying to achieve.

In addition to the three Star Wars movies announced five years ago, Lucasfilm revealed three more at Star Wars Celebration 2023: a crossover within the world of The Mandalorian, a continuation of Rey’s Jedi Order, and a story exploring the origins of the Jedi. However, the next two films scheduled for release – The Mandalorian & Grogu and Starfighter – in May 2026 and 2027, aren’t connected to those previously announced projects.
