In recounting the hardships he’s endured over time, Johnny Depp, the star known for his role in “Pirates of the Caribbean,” claimed that he suffered physical and emotional abuse at the hands of his mother, Betty Sue Palmer, during his childhood years.
One aspect that intrigues me is that despite being known for creating superhero movies, I’ve never actually made one in the traditional sense. For instance, in Super… it’s a man in a costume who uses a wrench to fight people. He’s not really a superhero. After making the Guardians series, which are more about space exploration, and The Suicide Squad, where the characters are villains, I can now say that Superman is my first genuine superhero film.
In my viewpoint, the upcoming series of “King of the Hill” is significantly altering each character’s appearance, and over the past few months, they’ve been progressively unveiling these changes through promotional materials. However, there are still a couple of familiar faces that remain partially hidden, such as John Redcorn, whose new design for his older self has finally been disclosed for the first time in a special Hulu promo, hinting at their upcoming shows due this year. Take a look below to catch a glimpse.

Dominique Thorne delivers a captivating performance as Riri Williams, infusing her character with a Gen Z appeal that harmonizes effectively with the rest of the cast. However, the script for her character poses challenges in terms of audience connection, as Riri seems to consistently make poor choices that strain the viewing experience. The series tries to rationalize this behavior by introducing traumatic events that she can’t seem to move past, but her actions are so puzzling that it’s hard to empathize with her. The show’s finale even tries to clarify the implications of her erratic decision-making within the MCU, but unfortunately, it arrives too late and fails to salvage the situation.
In his debut in the 1963 issue #139 of “The Flash,” the character known as Reverse-Flash made his entrance as an evil counterpart to the Flash, distinctly differentiated by reversed colors.

In the second season of “Peacemaker,” which is set to air on August 21st on HBO Max, Merced reappears in the DC Universe. This highly successful series, spun off from “The Suicide Squad,” is created by Gunn. The trailers for this new season suggest that Hawkgirl, Lord, and a Green Lantern with a bowl cut are interviewing Christopher Smith (played by John Cena), possibly as a replacement for Mr. Terrific within the Justice League team.
Due to its impressive history, I am quite disheartened about the recent news regarding the upcoming Dune-based blockbuster, Dune: Messiah. Instead of naming the movie after the novel it’s based on, Variety reports that the project will go by the less engaging title, Dune: Part Three.
