2026’s Biggest Anime Video Game Adaptation is Coming to Theaters

From Software’s game Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice stood out from titles like Dark Souls, Elden Ring, and Bloodborne because it told a much clearer story. Now, Sekiro: No Defeat is an anime adaptation that retells the game’s story. The anime will be available on Crunchyroll starting September 4th, and will also have a three-week theatrical release in Japan. While a release in North America hasn’t been announced yet, fans are hoping it will come to theaters here as well. A new poster for the anime is available below.

7 1980s DC Comics That Keep Getting Better With Age

It’s been nearly 40 years since the 1980s, and the world of comics has evolved a lot since then. While not every comic from that decade still holds up, some have actually improved with time. These seven stories from DC Comics, originally published in the ’80s, are prime examples – they remain some of the best comics ever made.

5 Great Games Based on Real People

Like a Dragon: Ishin! is a refreshed version of a 2014 action game originally released for PlayStation 3 and 4. It became available on current consoles in 2023, and later on other platforms, bringing the experience to a wider audience.

Why The Avengers Ignored Daredevil: Born Again Actually Has an Answer (But There’s Still a Problem)

Kingpin, as portrayed in Born Again, poses one of the greatest challenges the Marvel Cinematic Universe has ever seen for its heroes. He’s determined to eliminate all vigilantes. Though heroes like Daredevil and Jessica Jones are resisting, it’s surprising that more aren’t helping, considering how many operate in New York City. But given the current state of the MCU, the Avengers’ absence actually fits the narrative.

The Most Iconic Mystery Movie Ever Made Just Landed on Free Streaming

The mystery movie Clue, released in 1985, is a truly unique film and a cornerstone of the genre. Based on the classic board game, it boasts a fantastic cast including Eileen Brennan, Madeline Kahn, Michael McKean, Martin Mull, Lesley Ann Warren, Christopher Lloyd, and Tim Curry. What’s really unusual is that when it first came out, theaters were given one of three different endings at random, meaning audiences saw different versions of the movie. Though it wasn’t a box office success initially, Clue has since gained a devoted following and is now considered a cult classic and a benchmark for mystery films. Later home video releases would allow viewers to see all three endings.

The MCU Officially Turns Daredevil Into Iron Man for the Second Time

People are drawing comparisons between this reveal and Tony Stark’s famous announcement that he was Iron Man back in 2008. Just like that pivotal moment, this scene is incredibly dramatic – Matt Murdock couldn’t help but reveal his secret. The impact is just as strong, and it reinforces the idea that Matt Murdock is becoming the small-screen equivalent of Iron Man, marking this as his second major reveal.

Netflix’s One Piece Remake Faces a Massive Challenge Keeping Up With the Live-Action Series

After a long wait and only a few sneak peeks, the remake of One Piece is now set to debut in February 2027. The first release will include seven episodes, adapting roughly 50 chapters of the original manga. This is a new strategy for the series, and while the slow pace and longer episodes suggest a focus on quality, it’s also possible this approach won’t fully capture the spirit of such a large-scale project. It’s even conceivable that the live-action One Piece series could finish airing before this remake really gets underway.

Long-Awaited Sequel to Tom Cruise’s Best Sci-Fi Movie Gets a Disappointing Release Update

As a huge fan of Edge of Tomorrow, I was disappointed to read on Collider that a sequel isn’t currently being worked on. Apparently, Warner Bros. hasn’t completely given up on it, and they’d still like to make it someday. So, it’s kind of stuck in limbo – not dead, but definitely not moving forward at the moment. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but at least there’s a tiny glimmer of hope!

Taylor Swift Responds to The Life of a Showgirl Copyright Lawsuit

Maren Wade (also known as Maren Flagg), a performer in Las Vegas, filed a lawsuit against Taylor Swift just over a month ago, claiming Swift’s album title, The Life of a Showgirl, is too close to Flagg’s copyrighted work, Confessions of a Showgirl. Swift’s lawyers have now responded to Flagg’s request for a preliminary injunction, which, if granted, would prevent Swift from using the album title while the lawsuit is ongoing.
