The incredibly popular Pokémon franchise, which has been around for years, will first appear at Universal Studios Japan. After that, Universal plans to bring special Pokémon experiences to its theme parks around the world.
This summer, look out for “Masters of the Universe,” a new movie from director Travis Knight and Amazon MGM Studios. The film, based on the popular franchise, features Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man, Camila Mendes as Teela, Idris Elba as Duncan/Man-At-Arms, and Jared Leto as Skeletor, among others.
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, comedy legend and SNL alum Kurt Russell shared a funny story about attending Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s wedding. He explained how a simple assumption he made about the reception led to an awkward moment. Russell recounted that as Steve Martin, his fellow Only Murders in the Building costar, was leaving, he insisted Russell couldn’t leave until he’d had a piece of cake.
Netflix isn’t sticking to just one kind of movie this year. While action movies like Extraction with Chris Hemsworth have been big successes, they’re also releasing romantic comedies, crime thrillers, survival stories, and a new take on a beloved book series. We’ll see familiar faces like Sally Field, find out what happens with a famous on-screen couple, and watch Millie Bobby Brown try out a role that isn’t about fighting monsters. As a dedicated Netflix fan, I’m excited to see these new films and will be ranking them based on how well they’ll keep me entertained at home instead of going to the cinema.
Despite good reviews from critics, the historical drama The Winter King didn’t find a large audience when it streamed on MGM+. The show is based on Bernard Cornwell’s The Warlord Chronicles trilogy and offers a fresh take on the Arthurian legends, focusing on Arthur (played by Iain de Caestecker) as he’s forced into exile during a Saxon invasion.
When the Oscar nominations for the 2026 TV season were revealed, I was surprised to see that the movie Wicked: For Good wasn’t mentioned at all. Even though it didn’t get as good of a reception as the first film, I still expected it to be in the running for awards.

It’s common for TV and movie adaptations of beloved books to make changes, and the Foundation series is no different. While the show generally follows the plot of Isaac Asimov’s original story, it does take some significant creative risks. One major change alters how the story unfolds and focuses on a key character—a twist that book readers will notice, but might be lost on those new to the Foundation universe.
In the animated series Invincible, Danai will portray Universa, an alien villain who travels to Earth with the goal of stealing its energy to save her own planet. However, things don’t go as planned, as a recently released image shows Atom Eve (Gillian Jacobs) punching Universa in the face.
The new film Mercy, directed by Timur Bekmambetov, uses news broadcasts as part of its unique storytelling style. Fans of Chris Pratt might recognize a familiar face among the news anchors: Jay Jackson, best known for playing Perd Hapley in Parks and Recreation. It’s a fun surprise for viewers and even more interesting to learn that Pratt himself suggested casting Jackson in the role.
