Four years ago, acclaimed director Chloé Zhao successfully proposed bringing the series back to life. Though Sarah Michelle Gellar hadn’t played the character since the original show ended, she agreed to return after only one meeting. Hulu ordered a pilot in February. The original series was groundbreaking for its genre and redefined strong female characters on television. A revival felt like a guaranteed success, tapping into existing fan excitement and potentially attracting a new audience. However, the intense competition among studios to revive it highlights a bigger issue within the industry.

For a lot of superheroes, the city they defend is almost like another character in their story. Think about Batman and Gotham, Superman and Metropolis, or Spider-Man and New York – the city is a huge part of who they are. While comic books have always made these cities feel alive, many movies, including past Spider-Man films, haven’t really brought them to life beyond just being a place where the action happens. But the new Brand New Day storyline seems to be fixing that, and fans are going to love it.

The next Spider-Man movie will include the Department of Damage Control (DODC), with Tramell Tillman playing a key character who is pursuing a super-powered individual played by actress Sadie Sink. Given reports that the DODC will be going after mutants in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, many believe Sink’s character might actually be a mutant.

Drew Goddard is taking on the challenge of writing and directing the fifth Matrix movie, and he’s being careful about sharing details. He recently said the project is still being written, which is why he can’t reveal much at this stage. When asked if Keanu Reeves will reprise his role as Neo, Goddard avoided a direct answer, suggesting that no cast members have been officially confirmed. He didn’t rule it out, though, leaving the possibility open (according to Variety).

Variety reports that several new projects based on The Wheel of Time are being developed by iwot Studios, working with Thomas Vu, a producer known for Arcane, and Initiate Entertainment.

In an interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast with Josh Horowitz, Ryan Gosling shared that he missed seeing Tom Cruise visit the Star Wars set because it was his only day off during filming.

Universal Studios is famous for establishing many of the classic horror themes we know today, starting in the 1920s. However, they didn’t always get it right. One example is a largely forgotten film called She-Wolf of London, which had a promising idea but ultimately didn’t live up to its potential.

In January 2023, Michael B. Jordan was set to return as John Clark, the Navy SEAL he first played in the 2021 film Without Remorse. That film was meant to launch a new action franchise. With John Wick director Chad Stahelski involved, it seemed likely a Rainbow Six movie, based on the Tom Clancy novels and video games, would happen soon. However, as of early 2026, the project’s future is uncertain, and it’s unclear if the Rainbow Six film, or a larger Tom Clancy movie universe, will ever be made.

This week on The Pitt, the hospital saw a surge of new patients, each with complex and challenging cases. We said goodbye to Roxie, Dr. McKay’s long-time cancer patient, while also welcoming patients facing crises like homelessness, immigration issues, and heatstroke. Episode 11 was packed with events, but these were some of the most important moments as the season nears its end.

As a huge fan of Invincible, I was really struck by how season 3 dealt with the aftermath of the Invincible War. It’s tough seeing Mark and the remaining heroes trying to pick up the pieces with so many protectors gone. Honestly, Rex Splode’s death hit me hard – it felt like a genuinely massive loss, and really drove home the point that absolutely no one is safe in this universe. It was a shocking moment in the last couple of episodes and completely changed things.
