I just got a first look at some seriously cool collectibles coming to CCXP Mexico! Omelete revealed five new badges inspired by Spider-Noir, and they’re showcasing some fantastic new poster art for the Amazon Prime Video series. What really grabbed me is that two of the major villains from Spider-Man: No Way Home are getting a total makeover, reimagined to fit the gritty, 1930s New York setting of Spider-Noir. It’s a really clever way to blend universes and give these characters a fresh, noir-inspired look.

Following a hugely successful run in theaters – earning $1.85 billion globally and becoming the highest-grossing animated film ever – Zootopia 2 will stream on Disney+ starting March 11th. The film is the fifth from Walt Disney Animation Studios to reach over $1 billion worldwide. Since its release in November 2025, Zootopia has received critical acclaim, including a BAFTA, a 96% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, an A from CinemaScore, and an Academy Award nomination.

After eleven years, the popular crime drama The Mentalist is now available on streaming. The show centers around Patrick Jane, a former fake psychic who uses his skills to assist the California Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in solving difficult cases. Many consider it to be one of the greatest crime dramas ever made.

Apple TV+ has quickly become a leader in science fiction programming. Shows like Severance, Silo, Foundation, and For All Mankind have been very successful, and the service is already working on even more sci-fi projects, including spin-offs of its popular series.

The U.S. State Department urged Americans on Monday to leave several Middle Eastern countries, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, because of growing regional instability. This follows recent U.S. and Israeli military actions against Iran. According to State Department official Mora Namdar, U.S. citizens should use commercial flights to depart due to safety concerns.

The new live-action Spider-Noir series from Marvel has been given a TV-14 rating in the US – the most mature rating any Spider-Man TV show has ever received. This suggests the series will be darker and more intense than previous Spider-Man adaptations.

Cillian Murphy shared encouraging news about the planned 28 Years Later trilogy. He discussed the project in an interview with The Times, while promoting his new film, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, and gave an update on its current status.

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?
