With the digital release of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, fans can now see in HD a clever nod to Lee and Kirby. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created The Fantastic Four, first introducing the superhero team in a comic book back in 1961. In the movie, set on a 1960s-style alternate Earth, there’s a quick scene showing two men at a comic book publisher’s office just as Julia Garner’s Silver Surfer arrives with a warning from Galactus.
Actually, many of the most creative and moving shows on TV began as something else entirely. Starting with genres like mystery and supernatural adventures, comic books have been the origin of stories that aren’t typical superhero narratives. Often, TV series adapted from these comics aren’t widely known. Therefore, finding them feels both unexpected and captivating. It’s a pleasant surprise when you stumble upon these hidden gems. These shows offer a unique viewing experience.
During FuelFest this past summer-a festival honoring the Fast & Furious films-Vin Diesel announced that the eleventh movie is still planned and shared three key details. Diesel stated the film would bring the story back to Los Angeles, emphasize street racing once again, and feature the return of Brian O’Conner. (The role of O’Conner was memorably played by the late Paul Walker until his passing in 2013.) However, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal, the script is still under development and hasn’t been finalized.
Initially presented as the major villain for all three films in The Force Awakens, the character was surprisingly sidelined in The Last Jedi. He reappeared in The Rise of Skywalker, though it was revealed he was an unsuccessful clone of Emperor Palpatine – a development that didn’t improve things. Snoke’s storyline sparked significant debate within the Star Wars fan base, with many seeing it as representative of the disappointing Sequel Trilogy experience.
At the DAC Conference 2025, Daniel Cunha, the architect of MB’s corporate destiny, proclaimed with a straight face that the firm aspires to become “the app where Brazilians manage their financial lives.” Gone are the days of trading charts and token markets, he declared, as if such things were mere relics of a bygone era. Now, the focus is on the “invisible blockchain,” a technology so subtle, users will never know it’s there-like a financial deus ex machina, but without the drama. 🎭
The future of the franchise has been uncertain since Fast X didn’t perform well financially, largely due to its extremely high production costs which worried Universal. Adding to the tension, Vin Diesel publicly expressed a desire to refocus the series on its roots – family and street racing – after some of the increasingly outlandish storylines in recent films. This has created some instability around the production. Now, Universal is reportedly asking that the budget for Fast 11 be reduced by $140 million compared to Fast X.
This week, Sophie Turner was at the Louis Vuitton Womenswear Spring/Summer 2026 show during Paris Fashion Week in France. She wore an all-black outfit – including black boots, a black mini skirt, a black Louis Vuitton purse, and a bold black jacket with oversized, wing-like shoulders – with one exception. I’m particularly loving the chain shirt she wore, which you can see in the photos she shared on Instagram below: Game of Thrones actress, Sophie Turner, looked stunning!
