Get ready for the 2026 Met Gala on May 4th – the first Monday in May – when Hollywood’s most fashionable stars will arrive in stunning outfits!

Fans have long wondered what a fight between Darth Maul and Darth Vader would look like. While older Star Wars stories hinted at this clash, and the Star Wars Rebels series briefly teased it before focusing on a reunion between Vader and Ahsoka, the new comic Maul – Shadow Lord finally delivers the epic duel we’ve been waiting for – and it doesn’t disappoint.
In the tenth episode of Maul – Shadow Lord, Maul and his companions attempt to escape Janix. The situation quickly becomes more dangerous when Maul discovers the Inquisitors are under the command of Darth Vader, who dramatically appears on the planet. The episode delivers an exciting, action-filled season finale and successfully incorporates a compelling idea originally conceived by George Lucas for the sequel trilogy into the official Star Wars story.
Actress Arianna Briones, who is currently playing singer Connie Francis in the musical Just in Time, is asking fans to stop referencing her previous role on the TV show The Pitt during performances. Some audience members have been calling out lines from the show, specifically asking her to “finish her charts” – a nod to her character, Dr. Trinity Santos. Briones shared a message on Instagram over the weekend requesting that the calls stop, as she finds it disruptive and isn’t enjoying the interruptions.
The Spider-Man movies, made mostly by Sony Pictures and more recently by the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), have featured three different actors playing Peter Parker: Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland. There have also been highly praised animated films, like the Spider-Verse series, starring Miles Morales. The franchise has earned over $11 billion worldwide, making it one of the most financially successful movie series ever – currently the second highest-grossing of all time.

New manga series these days tend to move quickly and have fewer chapters than the classic titles we all know. 2026 is shaping up to be a great year for the magazine, with lots of new releases, including a new action manga from the creator of Gintama. However, several series will also be ending or getting cancelled this year. One particularly popular series, Hima-Ten, is nearing its conclusion.
The story concluded with Asta defeating Yuno, earning the title of Wizard King, and finally bringing peace to the Clover Kingdom. After the conflict, each character began to pursue their own goals and dreams. The finale also confirmed romantic relationships that fans had hoped for, most notably between Yami and Charlotte, which had been hinted at throughout the series. Interestingly, Asta remained single, which sparked a new competitive dynamic between Noelle and Mimosa, both of whom are interested in him.
As a film buff, I’m a little worried about the thrillers coming out in 2026. They’ve got a tough fight ahead of them when you compare them to classics. Older films just seem to have better writing, were more concise, and featured incredible performances from a truly golden age of actors. I think the ’90s really nailed it – they had this great balance of real, practical filmmaking, compelling dramas with big stars, and studios willing to take risks on original, mid-budget movies. That’s what’s missing now, honestly. Everything seems to be either these massive, expensive blockbusters or super low-budget indie films – there’s not much in between.
