Despite being based on the popular Disney+ series The Mandalorian, the upcoming movie featuring Din Djarin and Grogu doesn’t quite feel like a major cinematic event. Even knowing the story, it doesn’t seem big enough to justify being a full-length film – it still feels more like an extended TV episode. However, it’s still too soon to dismiss the movie entirely, and there are reasons to remain hopeful about the upcoming Star Wars film.

The initial installment of the series, Batman: Arkham Asylum, was released in the summer of 2009, roughly a year after Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight came out in theaters.

The Thor movies changed significantly in style, first with Kenneth Branagh’s Thor and then with Taika Waititi’s Thor: Ragnarok. But Love and Thunder really leaned into Waititi’s comedic approach, relying heavily on improvisation. Many viewers and critics felt that the constant jokes weakened the film’s more serious moments, like Thor’s battle with Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale) and Jane Foster’s (Natalie Portman) fight with cancer.

Titan Comics and Alcon Entertainment will release the first issue of a new Blade Runner comic, Blade Runner: Tokyo Nexus: To Lose Is To Win, on May 6, 2026.

The film takes place in 1988 in Rondo, Texas, a tiny town completely controlled by a ruthless crime boss named Jeremiah Whitfield (Keitel). Whitfield owns almost everything and forces the town’s residents to do whatever he wants, punishing anyone who resists. He also won’t allow anyone to leave, knowing they could expose his operations.
