As a Marvel fan, I’m already so excited for the big movies coming this year – Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Avengers: Doomsday are going to be huge! But before those, we’re getting a new Disney+ show, Wonder Man, and honestly, even if it’s just a fun, smaller story, I’m really looking forward to seeing Ben Kingsley back as Trevor Slattery. There’s also a chance this show could tie into the bigger MCU picture, which makes it even more interesting. I can’t wait to find out what it’s all about!

Tom Holland’s breakout role launched a hugely successful acting career. In just six years, he’s already appeared as Spider-Man in six films. He’s also expanded into voice work with Pixar, starred as Nathan Drake in the Uncharted movie, and taken leading roles in several Apple TV+ shows.

Instead of focusing on the struggle to survive, the film Send Help explores a more disturbing idea: what if someone actually flourishes while stranded on a deserted island? The result is a surprisingly dark and enjoyable story, boosted by incredible acting, intense survival challenges, and a demonstration that simplicity can be powerfully effective.

You might not even remember it, but the sci-fi thriller Infinite, directed by Antoine Fuqua, stars Mark Wahlberg as a man troubled by memories of places he’s never been. The story reveals he’s part of a group of people who have been reincarnated for centuries, known as the “Infinites.” While the idea is interesting, the movie didn’t resonate with most audiences, earning a 34% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. One viewer, John J, jokingly compared it to a low-budget version of The Matrix.

The most recent film featured Will Poulter as Adam Warlock, a very powerful character from Marvel Comics. Poulter recently told Variety that he has no idea if he’ll be back in future movies. He explained that he receives no advance notice about returning to the role, and is kept completely unaware of any plans.

If he’s playing nearby, definitely go see him! While most people know him for “Bad to the Bone,” he has a lot of other great songs you should hear. “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer” is more than just a fun drinking song – it’s a really good rock song.

Because the thriller series features many actors who only appear briefly, fans don’t always have enough time to get to know them. With the new season of Slow Horses still some time away, now is a great opportunity to learn more about the show’s wider cast. Plus, with streaming becoming so popular, it’s the ideal time to revisit or discover this excellent series.

Rumors are circulating that Hugh Jackman will reprise his role as Wolverine in the next Avengers films, Doomsday and Secret Wars, but neither Jackman nor Marvel Studios has confirmed these reports. Fans eager to see Wolverine team up with the Avengers sooner can check out the team’s newest project, which includes an unexpected cameo from Logan in a different format.

Universal Pictures debuted a new trailer for its upcoming film, The Odyssey, during the AFC championship game on Sunday, which featured the New England Patriots playing against the Denver Broncos.

Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, published a lengthy open letter as a full-page advertisement in the Wall Street Journal. In it, he discussed his lifelong struggle with bipolar disorder, connecting it back to the car accident that inspired his breakout song, “Through The Wire.” He explained the condition and then addressed controversial statements he’d made in the last four months, sharing his state of mind at the time (according to Complex).
