It’s common for TV and movie adaptations of beloved books to make changes, and the Foundation series is no different. While the show generally follows the plot of Isaac Asimov’s original story, it does take some significant creative risks. One major change alters how the story unfolds and focuses on a key character—a twist that book readers will notice, but might be lost on those new to the Foundation universe.
In the animated series Invincible, Danai will portray Universa, an alien villain who travels to Earth with the goal of stealing its energy to save her own planet. However, things don’t go as planned, as a recently released image shows Atom Eve (Gillian Jacobs) punching Universa in the face.
The new film Mercy, directed by Timur Bekmambetov, uses news broadcasts as part of its unique storytelling style. Fans of Chris Pratt might recognize a familiar face among the news anchors: Jay Jackson, best known for playing Perd Hapley in Parks and Recreation. It’s a fun surprise for viewers and even more interesting to learn that Pratt himself suggested casting Jackson in the role.

Even though the second season of Percy received a perfect audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, it didn’t attract as many viewers as the first season. The first season earned 572 million viewing minutes in its first week, while the second season’s premiere week in December 2025 only brought in 508 million. While this decrease isn’t huge, it’s concerning given how many streaming options are available and the rising cost of subscriptions. Luckily, Percy was renewed for a third season in March 2025, allowing production to begin shortly after the second season finished. Now, the show’s future depends on Disney delivering a truly exceptional third season to avoid potential cancellation.
In my opinion, Forest Whitaker gave one of his best performances in his first leading role, playing the complex jazz musician Charlie Parker. He starred in Clint Eastwood’s 1988 film, Bird, and I believe he deserved to win an Oscar for it. Here’s my reasoning.
