The trailers for Avengers: Doomsday have hinted at the introduction of new characters, giving fans first glimpses of updated costumes for heroes like Namor, Black Panther, Cyclops, Professor X, and Magneto. The movie, set to release in 2026, continues this pattern by not only introducing two new superheroes, but also immediately showcasing their most recognizable looks.
This is a common thread in classic martial arts films, from titles like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to the highly acclaimed Enter the Dragon. These movies often feature skilled martial artists playing the characters, leading to intense conflicts and compelling rivalries between heroes and villains.

I watched the recent Netflix climbing event and then looked at what people were saying online. Almost everyone agreed Alex Honnold’s climb was incredible, but a lot of viewers criticized the commentary from Elle Duncan, Seth Rollins, and Emily Harrington. Personally, I thought Seth Rollins, formerly of WWE, did a great job with the commentary.
In season 2, episode 7 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, titled “Those Old Scientists,” Jack Quaid and Tawny Newsome reprised their roles from the animated series Star Trek: Lower Decks, appearing in live-action.

Many excellent TV shows don’t hit their stride immediately, needing time to find their footing. Some start strong but lose quality over time, drifting away from what initially made them good.

With the conclusion of “Rick and Chelsea,” viewers were left wanting more. Fortunately, Netflix delivers with “The Perfect Couple,” a new mystery miniseries featuring a stellar cast including Nicole Kidman, Dakota Fanning, Meghann Fahy (known from Season 2 of “The White Lotus”), Eve Hewson, Liev Schreiber, and Sam Nivola (who appeared in Season 3 of “The White Lotus”). While reviews for the series, based on the Elin Hilderbrand novel, were mixed, it’s a surprisingly compelling murder mystery from 2024 that deserves another look.
Ridley Scott, known for both historical epics and science fiction classics like Alien, directed The Last Duel. It’s a retelling of a true story, structured similarly to the film Rashomon, focusing on differing accounts of the same event – in this case, a dispute between knights. Despite not doing well in theaters, it’s still a movie worth checking out.
Viewers have noticed that the episodes of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms are much shorter than those in the original Game of Thrones series. The first episode was only 41 minutes long, and the second was even shorter at 34 minutes. According to Winter Is Coming, the rest of the season’s episodes will also fall between 30 and 40 minutes, a significant decrease from the hour-long episodes fans are used to seeing in Game of Thrones.
