Kerry Washington joined the cast of *The Simpsons* in Season 33 as Ms. Peyton, who became Bart’s new fourth grade teacher after replacing Edna Krabappel. Initially, it seemed Bart and Ms. Peyton had resolved a previous summer encounter in their first episode together. However, a recent episode in Season 37 revealed that Bart still has a strong crush on her.
Marvel executive Brad Winderbaum recently told *Entertainment Weekly* that the teams working on Season 2 of *Daredevil: Born Again* and the *Spider-Man: Brand New Day* movie have been collaborating closely. He explained they’re ensuring the two projects connect seamlessly, saying, “We’re in constant communication to maintain consistency. We want to avoid spoilers, but it’s important to know these stories take place in the same universe.”
When people talk about great sci-fi games recently, titles like *NieR Automata*, *Half-Life: Alyx*, *Returnal*, and *Death Stranding* (including its 2025 sequel) often come up. Surprisingly, *No Man’s Sky* doesn’t usually get mentioned, even though it’s been much more widely played. However, it might be time to consider *No Man’s Sky* as one of the best sci-fi games, not just of the last ten years, but of all time.
Although Marvel Studios acquired the rights to the X-Men in 2019, the team hasn’t officially joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe yet. We’ve seen a few familiar X-Men characters appear, but the upcoming *Avengers: Doomsday* and *Avengers: Secret Wars* will be a final nod to the previous *X-Men* films from Fox before Marvel reintroduces these iconic mutants with new actors. Jake Schreier, who is directing *Thunderbolts* , will lead the *X-Men* reboot, and we’re looking forward to seeing these powerful characters return to the big screen soon.
Cold Iron Studios hasn’t made any public announcements since rumors began spreading. Evidence suggesting something is happening is quickly adding up. Their game, Aliens: Fireteam Elite, launched in 2021 to generally positive reviews.
James Gunn has emphasized how crucial the ending of *Peacemaker* Season 2 and the introduction of Salvation are for the future of the DC Universe, explaining that these elements will continue to play a role in projects like *Man of Tomorrow* and beyond.

Fans of the classic anime *Trigun* will be excited to hear that *Trigun Stargaze* is coming to Crunchyroll in January of 2026. Vash the Stampede will be back with familiar allies Nicholas D. Wolfwood and Meryl Stryfe as they continue their fight against Vash’s brother, Knives. Plus, Milly Thompson – the tall insurance agent and close friend of Meryl and Wolfwood from the original series – will finally appear, after being left out of *Trigun Stampede*.
Foggy Nelson, the character from both *Daredevil* and *Daredevil: Born Again*, faces a lot of hardship. He discovers his close friend is secretly a vigilante and is repeatedly forced to watch him get seriously injured, even appearing to die. While Daredevil always manages to recover and continue fighting for Hell’s Kitchen, Foggy tragically gets shot and killed by Bullseye early in *Born Again*. Despite this, Marvel Studios hints that Foggy will reappear in the show’s second season, implying the storyline will closely follow the original comic books.
I’ve been following the Brown family for a while now, and it was really interesting to hear Christine talk about her relationship with Kody. She recently posted this powerful message about protecting your energy, and it seems like she was hinting at how she’s finally prioritizing her own happiness and well-being, even if that means distancing herself from her dad, Kody.
As a huge Harry Potter fan, I was so excited to see a new picture circulating on X (formerly Twitter) from Wizarding World Direct! It shows the Diagon Alley set currently being built, and it’s looking amazing! They’ve already got a bunch of shopfronts up, and crews are working hard on even more. You can even see them laying the bricks for the street itself. I’ve included the picture below – it’s a real treat for any Potterhead!
