For much of The Mandalorian, the story has focused on Din Djarin and Grogu’s adventures, including their quest to restore Mandalore. It’s easy to overlook that Din often worked alone. Even in the first season, he largely did what he wanted, with Grogu simply tagging along. His ship, the Razor Crest, symbolized this independent lifestyle. However, the ship’s return suggests Din is moving past being a lone wanderer and fully accepting his responsibilities as a father figure.

The 1995 Mortal Kombat movie first showed Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade as a couple, a storyline the games later picked up, especially starting with the 2011 reboot. However, the new movie focusing on Johnny hasn’t even hinted at a connection between them. While fans might be disappointed by this omission, there’s a good reason to hold off on showing their romance – as explained by Mortal Kombat II’s story.

Okay, so I saw the first official image from the God of War TV show on Amazon Prime, and honestly, as a huge fan of the games, I was pretty disappointed. David Jaffe, one of the creators of God of War, basically said the same thing! He called it “so dumb” and “terrible” in a YouTube video, and I get where he’s coming from. It’s just… not a great look. The photo shows Kratos and his son in the woods, but it just feels off, you know?

I’ve noticed a real trend in thrillers lately – they’re not about huge explosions or a ton of violence. Instead, they’re really good at drawing you in by seeming totally ordinary. These stories focus on what could actually happen with your neighbors, which is what I find so fascinating. And with all the true-crime shows out there that feel almost like fiction, Peacock’s All Her Fault really grabbed me – it’s just so compelling!

Actor Campbell shared on Instagram that he’s been diagnosed with a treatable, but not curable, type of cancer. He approached the news with optimism, calling it a ‘health opportunity,’ and admitted the diagnosis was surprising. He wrote, ‘I apologize if this is a shock – it was to me, too.’

Mike Flanagan’s new Exorcist movie is assembling a talented cast, and it’s now led by Scarlett Johansson, known for her roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and soon to be in the DC Universe. The latest actor joining the film is another well-known star from superhero movies, promising to bring even more energy to the project.

The Apple TV+ Monsterverse has significantly broadened the world of Godzilla and Kong, introducing creatures like the Ion Dragon, Frost Vark, and Endopede. The second season is adding a new monster to the mix: Titan X, a massive sea creature. As the show reveals how the original Monarch team first discovered Titan X, it also hints at the existence of another mysterious being.

With conflict escalating between the Harrigan and Stevenson families, Harry is trying to prevent an all-out war. However, the people he works for have hidden motives that put Harry and his entire team in danger. While fans wait for season 2 of MobLand, which promises to expand on the show’s compelling story, here are some other options to enjoy in the meantime.

Yoda appears across many different periods of Star Wars, and his story is now being explored even further back in time with the series The Acolyte. Set during the final years of the High Republic, The Acolyte reveals how the Dark Side and the Sith first arose while the Jedi were at their most powerful. Because Yoda ages very slowly, he made a quick appearance in the last episode, suggesting he could have played a bigger part if the show continued.

Though Tom Hardy is famous for his movie roles, he’s also appeared in several TV shows. Some of his most well-known television work includes Oliver Twist, Stuart: A Life Backwards, Wuthering Heights, and Peaky Blinders. He recently starred in the crime drama MobLand, which is a good reason to also watch another one of his crime series, Taboo.
