Fans have been eagerly awaiting a movie based on The Legend of Zelda, and now, after 31 years as a popular video game series, it’s finally happening! The huge success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie in 2023 has shown Hollywood how valuable video game stories can be. Nintendo, in particular, seems poised to become the next big cinematic universe, similar to Marvel. Here’s everything we currently know about the upcoming Legend of Zelda film.

As a huge cinema fan, I was immediately drawn into the world of The Fantastic Four: First Steps. It’s set in a really cool, retro-future version of the 1960s – think classic Silver Age comic books come to life! What’s interesting is that this isn’t the Marvel universe we’re used to. It’s an alternate reality where the Fantastic Four are the only superheroes, so no Avengers or anyone else to help! But, it sounds like this world might still have some links to the bigger Marvel Cinematic Universe, possibly stemming from a pretty significant and divisive event from the Infinity Saga.

It’s been four years since the events of No Way Home. Peter Parker is now an adult living a solitary life, having intentionally made everyone forget him – even those he loves. He continues to fight crime in New York, but now no one recognizes him as Spider-Man. He’s completely dedicated to protecting the city, but the increasing demands of the job are causing a strange physical transformation that could endanger him. Meanwhile, a new wave of unusual crimes hints at a powerful new enemy – one of the most dangerous he’s ever encountered.

The new season of Daredevil: Born Again is receiving very positive reviews, earning a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes from 69 critics. This is even better than the first season, which had an 87% rating. Currently, it’s the second highest-rated Marvel series on Disney+ according to Rotten Tomatoes, surpassed only by Ms. Marvel (98% from 311 reviews).

The animated series Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, from Marvel Television, began streaming on Disney+ in January 2025. It was created by Jeff Trammell and features Hudson Thames returning as the voice of Peter Parker/Spider-Man, a role he previously played in What If…?

VisionQuest is the third chapter in the WandaVision story, following WandaVision and Agatha All Along. The theme of parenthood is central to the whole series. While Agatha All Along focused on motherhood, VisionQuest will explore the important role of fathers.

Iron Maiden has been nominated for induction several times, and 2026 might finally be their year. However, the band doesn’t seem to place much importance on it. They’ve often said that rock music shouldn’t be limited to a physical location – it’s a living, evolving art form that doesn’t need traditional artistic recognition.

Perhaps even more frustrating is the confusing arc of the main character, Judy. Though played brilliantly by Marisa Tomei, Judy starts as a smart, confident, and successful woman – maybe a little too confident. She’s a published author, a psychologist, and a professor at a well-known New York university. However, as the story progresses, the script inexplicably transforms her into an erratic and obsessive character, often for comedic effect that feels forced and doesn’t quite land.

I was totally hooked by A Thousand Blows from the very beginning! It’s based on the true story of two boxers and a gang leader just trying to survive in London back in the 1880s. It quickly became one of my favorite shows on Hulu, and honestly, season 2, which came out in 2026, is even more amazing. It really delivers!

Season 9 of Scrubs moved the action to a new Sacred Heart hospital and centered the show around a fresh group of interns. While the original cast still appeared, their roles were smaller to make room for Dr. Lucy Bennett and the other new doctors. The change of location – the demolition of the original Sacred Heart – significantly altered the feel of Med School and ultimately contributed to the show’s cancellation. The revival series hasn’t explicitly explained why the original hospital was torn down and replaced, or why the new one has remained standing throughout the new episodes. However, an explanation is available if you pay attention to the visual details.
