With around $894.2 million earned globally, The Super Mario Bros. Movie is close to reaching $1 billion at the box office after its first weekend in May. This puts the sequel, a collaboration between Illumination and Nintendo, on track for major success.
On April 30th, 2026, a small, curious audience gathered for a screening, unsure of what they were about to see. It quickly became clear when director Joe Dante appeared to introduce the film, explaining, “This is a very unusual event. We rarely revisit old, unfinished projects and show them to the public, flaws and all.”
Terri Irwin, whose children Robert and Bindi both won their seasons of Dancing with the Stars, has considered potentially competing on the show herself.
Matagot’s new game, Star Trek: Space Hunt, is a 2-vs-2 experience where one team plays as the Federation and the other as the villains. Players choose characters from three different eras of Star Trek – the original series, The Next Generation, and Discovery – and work together to protect their ship. A unique feature is a double-sided screen that hides each team’s board from the other, adding to the thematic tension. Space Hunt is scheduled to be released later this year, and you can get a first look at it below.
A popular post on the Crimson Desert Reddit page reveals a player only figured out how the “Focused Force Palm” skill works after 245 hours of gameplay. The post gained a lot of attention because many other players admitted they also didn’t understand the skill, even after playing for a significant amount of time.
Many fans anticipated an extra chapter showing the heroes enjoying glamorous lives after defeating the villains. However, the special episode took a different approach, focusing on the realistic challenges of adulthood. It starts by establishing the heroes’ current rankings, then quickly reveals that even after their great victories, characters like those in Class 1-A are simply navigating everyday life and dealing with common adult problems – things like work and personal growth – just like everyone else. The episode shows that even reaching No. 2 on the hero charts, as Todoroki does, doesn’t exempt them from the mundane aspects of being human.
Created by the acclaimed duo Jeff Loeb and Tim Sale – who are responsible for many of the best stories on this list – this comic features an early, and somewhat overlooked, example of their incredible work. The story begins when Gambit learns about the death of a friend in London and travels there to investigate. He quickly suspects Wolverine, who has no clear alibi. The comic beautifully explores the unexpected friendship between Gambit and Wolverine, the trust they develop, and how love can blossom even in the most guarded individuals. It’s a concise, engaging mystery with plenty of twists and turns, making it a truly enjoyable read.
James Gunn’s next superhero film, Man of Tomorrow, is scheduled for release next summer. This will be Gunn’s sixth superhero movie, and fans are hoping it continues his winning streak in the genre. He’s had great success with all his previous superhero films, but one stands out as his best.
While the original Battlestar Galactica was popular, the reimagined series became even more well-known, tackling difficult themes like prejudice and the abuse of power as high-quality television was starting to gain prominence. After it finished, fans quickly wanted another science fiction show focused on complex characters and a rich backstory. They found it in 2015 with a series that earned a similar devoted following.
I played a strategy game years ago that did something truly unique – I haven’t seen another game pull it off quite as well since. It stood out from other strategy games of the time, and I still recommend it today. That game was Black & White 2. It was a wonderfully strange and clever title, and I remember playing it as a kid just as vividly as I remember the most emotional moments of my favorite games.
