During an appearance on the SmartLess podcast (as reported by The Playlist), Chris Hemsworth discussed his future as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Avengers: Doomsday. He didn’t reveal any details about the upcoming film, but confirmed he’s signed on for “a couple more” Marvel movies. It seems he and Marvel Studios are developing some “unique” plans to bring Thor back, and he’s expected to appear in Secret Wars, which is scheduled to start filming this year. However, Hemsworth hinted that he might even get another standalone Thor movie in the future.

This HBO series is a prequel to Game of Thrones, telling the story of Ser Duncan (Dunk), a kind but imposing knight, and his intelligent young apprentice, Egg. They journey across the land of Westeros, and the show is based on George R. R. Martin’s Dunk and Egg novels. The cast includes Peter Claffey as Dunk, Dexter Sol Ansell as Egg, Finn Bennett as Aerion Targaryen, and Daniel Ings as Ser Lyonal Baratheon.

Horror movies set in cities often focus on the fear of crime, but those set in small towns tap into the loss of innocence. The best horror filmmakers use these settings to create scary stories that also offer a critique of small-town life. Small towns, with their hidden histories, are ripe for exploration in the horror genre.

The Prime Video thriller centers around detectives Karl Connolly (Dorian Missick) and Lee Reardon (Karl Souza) as they investigate a murder. They work to identify both the victim – found in a bathtub – and the killer. As they uncover the secrets of those connected to the victim, Ciara and Oliver, the detectives also grapple with their own personal issues, which complicate the investigation.

A new fan theory on Reddit suggests that the planet Peridea in Star Wars is actually Earth, and the entire Star Wars galaxy exists in the Andromeda Galaxy – right next to our own Milky Way. The theory also offers an explanation for how humans first came to live on Earth.

The McManus brothers, known for their unsettling 2021 sci-fi film The Block Island Sound, expertly explore how people often choose anger over dealing with grief, finding a temporary sense of control in it. However, they show that anger can’t truly heal sorrow. This is powerfully illustrated by Irene (Michaela McManus), who has spent years traveling through alternate realities in a unique machine, relentlessly hunting the man who kidnapped and killed her daughter. After repeating this cycle hundreds of times, she knows her target, Neville (Jeremy Holm), works at a diner and gets paid on Thursdays. While details change slightly in each reality, the outcome is always the same: Irene kills Neville in some way. But killing him no longer brings Irene relief. It’s become the sole focus of her existence, leaving her emotionally numb and unfulfilled.

More to come.
