What makes Jack Black different from many other comedic actors is his knack for moving between small, independent films and huge, blockbuster hits – sometimes even within the same year. He can star in a heartwarming comedy and then immediately be in a massive movie that earns a fortune. This is largely due to his broad appeal – he seems to connect with a lot of different audiences.
The new trailer for HBO’s Harry Potter series is already creating a huge buzz online. This adaptation could be incredibly important, not only for the fantasy genre, but for all of entertainment. Very few franchises are as well-known worldwide as Harry Potter, and people are already incredibly excited about it.

Netflix recently lost a deal with Warner Bros., and now faces a setback in its European growth. Belgium’s Constitutional Court ruled against Netflix in a legal dispute over EU rules requiring financial contributions from streaming services. Netflix had previously appealed these rules.
Next month, on April 1st, Scarlett Johansson’s unusual and mature sci-fi film, Under the Skin, will be available to stream on Tubi. Tubi is a free, ad-supported platform where you can watch movies without even needing to create an account! Under the Skin is just one of many excellent, but often overlooked, sci-fi movies coming to the service. It would pair well with Duncan Jones’ Moon, featuring Sam Rockwell – they’re very different films, but together they’d make a fantastic double feature for sci-fi fans.
As a longtime Spider-Man fan, I always appreciated how Tobey Maguire’s version stood out with those organic web-shooters. Sure, ditching the mechanical ones meant we didn’t see as much of Peter Parker’s genius inventor side, but it gave his Spider-Man a signature ability that even Spider-Man: No Way Home acknowledged. And let’s not forget Spider-Man 2 – arguably one of the greatest superhero films ever – where losing those organic webs became a really powerful story point. Now, with Spider-Man: Brand New Day on the horizon, it sounds like Tom Holland’s Spider-Man might be getting that ability back, which is exciting. It also gives the MCU a chance to really shake things up and put a fresh spin on the sequel, Spider-Man 2.
While characters like Booster Gold and Zatanna have appeared in shows such as Smallville—though even dedicated comic book fans might not realize it—many other DC superheroes haven’t yet made their live-action debut in movies or on television.

Titus Welliver famously played Harry Bosch in the original series and its spin-off, Bosch: Legacy. However, the new show, Bosch: Start of Watch, is set much earlier in Bosch’s life, requiring a younger actor. Cameron Monaghan has taken on the role. He recently shared a photo on Instagram from the set, showing him seated in his chair with “Harry Bosch” displayed on the back. In the picture, Monaghan is looking towards a police car, giving fans a sneak peek of his portrayal of the character. You can see the post below.
In the historical drama The Eagle, Channing Tatum plays Marcus Aquila, a Roman soldier, in a story set in 140 AD. While ambitious in scope, the movie wasn’t a hit with either viewers or critics when it came out.
