Entertainment reporter Daniel Richtman says that the movie Captain America: Brave New World was originally going to feature the character Amadeus Cho, who is also known as the Totally Awesome Hulk.
I was really shocked to see Kurt Sutter share that graphic about The Abandons getting cancelled – all those headlines like “Netflix Pulls the Plug” and “Series Ends on a Cliffhanger” were just brutal, especially after it had gotten almost 20 million views! It turns out, the crazy part is that Kurt actually walked away from the show himself, with only a few weeks of filming left. Apparently, Netflix wanted to make some changes after seeing early cuts of the first episode. Looking back now, with the series cancelled, it seems like he knew what he was doing when he made that decision.
Netflix has a huge selection of both classic movies and original shows. With so many options, deciding what to watch can be overwhelming. Luckily, a few titles really shine and deserve to be at the top of your list this week.
The latest trailer gives a longer preview of the upcoming film about Michael Jackson. Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the movie goes beyond simply recounting Jackson’s music career. It aims to reveal a more intimate and honest portrayal of the artist, exploring his personal life and the challenges of fame. It promises a deeper look at the cost of celebrity.
Wow, the response to the Grammys was immediate! As soon as the show wrapped up, Donald Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to trash it, calling it “virtually unwatchable.” He was particularly upset with host Trevor Noah, claiming Noah made a false and damaging statement live on air.
With Young Sheldon already having explored Sheldon’s childhood, the new series Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage is continuing to diverge from the storylines established in The Big Bang Theory. This is partly because Georgie and Mandy weren’t major characters in the original show. Creator Chuck Lorre plans to return to the world of The Big Bang Theory with Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, which will be the first spin-off to directly connect back to the original series.
I’m already getting excited for the Super Bowl, and it’s not just for the game! It sounds like the movie studios are planning a huge marketing blitz during the broadcast. Even though a 30-second commercial is going to cost around $10 million – way up from last year’s $7.5 to $8 million – they’re clearly willing to pay to reach the expected 128+ million viewers. It’s going to be a big night for movie trailers, that’s for sure!
On February 1, 2026, Elon Musk publicly criticized director Christopher Nolan after a debate online about the potential casting choices for the film The Odyssey. Musk posted on X (formerly Twitter) that Nolan had “lost his integrity” after someone claimed that rumors of Lupita Nyong’o being cast as Helen of Troy were disrespectful to the original author, Homer. The complaint stemmed from the fact that Helen is described as having fair skin and blonde hair in Homer’s poem.
