As a lifelong monster movie fan, I’ve been paying close attention to Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, and it looks like they might have subtly brought in a potential ally for Godzilla! It could be someone from his past, or maybe someone who’ll team up with him down the line. Anyone who knows Godzilla knows he’s not always a lone wolf. In the classic Toho films, he’s actually fought with a bunch of other monsters over the years – Rodan, Mothra, Anguirus, King Caesar, Jet Jaguar, and even Gorosaurus have all been on his side at some point.

Adam Bourke appeared in season 2 of The Boys as the director of Dawn of the Seven, a hugely expensive superhero movie produced by Vought International. Bourke was a satirical take on famous superhero film directors like Zack Snyder and Joss Whedon, and Dawn of the Seven itself was a parody of team-up movies such as DC’s Justice League and Marvel’s The Avengers.

Hollywood has produced many highly-regarded mystery thrillers, though far more lesser-known films exist than true classics. Great movies often don’t stay popular for long, and can quickly fade from view. As tastes change with each generation, even more mystery films are unfortunately lost to time.

The 1987 film Evil Dead II dramatically changed direction, becoming a funny, cartoonish, and deliberately exaggerated sequel. While it had some scary moments, Evil Dead II was as inspired by comedic filmmakers like Tex Avery as it was by horror directors like Dario Argento. Its playful absurdity lessened the fear and suspense of the original. Where Raimi’s first film was a brutal challenge, his second felt more like a slapstick comedy show. The sequel, Army of Darkness, amplified the humor even more, adding a historical action-adventure storyline.

While not the first to use them, the Marvel Cinematic Universe really popularized post-credits scenes as a way to hint at future storylines, making those extra scenes almost as thrilling as the movie itself. Though many Marvel shows don’t include them, the post-credits scene for Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 feels particularly important because it marks the end of a significant chapter.

Following the addition of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 to the PlayStation Plus Extra library in February, many new players experienced the popular sequel for free, swinging through New York City as Peter and Miles battled villains like Venom, Sandman, and Kraven. However, one player recently shared their disappointment on the r/PlayStationPlus subreddit, suggesting the game didn’t quite meet their expectations.

Currently topping the charts is . Following closely behind is , the hit television show that quickly gained popularity after premiering in April.

Village PM, started by skateboarding enthusiasts Basile Lapray and Bram De Cleen, quickly gained popularity with their first shoe, the 1PM. It’s become a standout sneaker for both skateboarding and everyday fashion, appearing in high-end stores like Dover Street Market and Supreme. Now, the Paris-based brand is releasing a premium version of the 1PM made with high-quality black leather.

Filming for the third season of Marvel Studios’ Daredevil: Born Again is progressing well and is expected to finish in early July. Showrunner Dario Scardapane recently told Entertainment Weekly that they’re about halfway through production, with all scripts completed except for the finale. Currently, they’re finishing up episode four and will move onto the final blocks of episodes before wrapping up filming in June and July.

Although it’s tempting to think of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey as similar to his more recent, large-scale films like Interstellar, it actually shares more in common with his earlier work. Nolan hasn’t directed a superhero movie since The Dark Knight Rises over ten years ago, but he says The Odyssey is most connected to his Batman trilogy.
