Many fans might be surprised to learn that Red Dead Redemption 2 hasn’t been getting the recognition it deserves, and this hasn’t gone unnoticed. Recent leaks suggest a physical version of the original Red Dead Redemption is coming to PS5, bringing John Marston’s story to modern consoles. But what about Red Dead Redemption 2? That’s what many are wondering.
Well, CinemaCon 2026 is winding down here in Vegas, and Disney just finished their presentation. The big buzz, of course, was Marvel Studios finally giving us a proper look at Avengers: Doomsday. I was there with ScreenRant as they unveiled the first trailer, and let me tell you, it delivered! Here’s what we saw…
Initial reviews for the movie are coming in, and they’re mostly negative. It’s currently hovering around a 59% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with many critics saying the film, while a new take on the story, has significant issues.
Pedro Pascal’s character, the bounty hunter Din Djarin, and Grogu (known as “Baby Yoda”) became instant stars when they first appeared in Disney+’s The Mandalorian in 2019. Now, after years of success on the streaming service, they’re heading to the big screen in their own movie, Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu. The final trailer for the film has just been released and you can watch it below.
Over the past few decades, shows like Yellowjackets, The Leftovers, Fallout, and the popular Stranger Things have all taken inspiration from this approach.

Anne Hathaway plays Mary, a hugely popular singer getting ready for a new concert. She’s still shaken up after a dangerous incident at her last performance.

Sam had left Mary’s team after a falling out, feeling undervalued.
Generally, Marvel characters become famous for their deaths when they’ve been around for a long time, appeared in a lot of movies and shows, and played a key role in the story. These deaths hit especially hard when it’s a hero who dies, because villains are often expected to be defeated. Iron Man’s death in Avengers: Endgame perfectly fits this pattern, but what just happened in Daredevil: Born Again was different – and it worked incredibly well.
The recent cancellation of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy was surprising, especially considering its potential and the talented people working on it. On a brighter note, Paramount announced at CinemaCon (according to Collider) that a new Star Trek movie is in development. While the last Star Trek film was released in 2016, the franchise has a long history of movies, so a new one always seemed likely. However, this next film will be different: it will introduce a completely new cast of characters, effectively ending the storyline that began with Chris Pine as Captain Kirk.
Although The Acolyte was advertised as a significant dark side story taking place during the High Republic, the series didn’t quite live up to the hype. Compared to recent releases like Maul – Shadow Lord, it feels like The Acolyte could have benefited from a more intense and focused approach.
