Before becoming known for roles like James Steward in Long Shot and Nathan Lind in Godzilla vs. Kong, Alexander Skarsgård played Tarzan in the 2016 action film The Legend of Tarzan, directed by David Yates. The movie, which also features Samuel L. Jackson, Margot Robbie, Djimon Hounsou, and Christoph Waltz, became available on Prime Video on December 30th. Though it received negative reviews, the film is set ten years after Tarzan has left the jungle for Victorian England and follows his return to investigate reports of slavery.

The main challenge was that the story had to largely happen on New Year’s Eve. While the characters in The Shining are at the Overlook Hotel when the new year begins, it isn’t a significant part of the plot. The following films, though, absolutely depend on New Year’s Eve to work, whether that’s a good thing or not.

Honestly, this event hasn’t lived up to the hype. “Age of Apocalypse” was incredible, but “Age of Revelation” just hasn’t reached that level. It’s not bad overall, and there have been some really great series within it – I especially loved Unbreakable X-Men and The Last Wolverine – but it won’t be remembered the way “AoA” is. This event really needed to stick the landing, and it mostly missed. This final issue, Age of Revelation: Finale #1, is a good wrap-up, but like most of what came before, it has some strong points mixed with weaknesses that are hard to ignore.

Many promising superhero games have been cancelled for various reasons – from problems with development to financial difficulties or internal conflicts. It’s unfortunate, as some of these cancelled titles sounded genuinely enjoyable. Here’s a look at five superhero games that were never released and the reasons why players never got to experience them.

In 2025, while established fantasy shows remained popular, several new series also stood out. Streaming platforms continued to invest heavily in original fantasy content, experimenting with different styles like portal, urban, and adult animation. These new shows demonstrated that a large budget isn’t necessary for a captivating story – strong characters and a unique look are what truly matter.

The heroes in Thunderbolts weren’t your typical, everyday saviors. They were proven heroes who had each saved the world in their own way, but they were all deeply damaged – either by their experiences saving the world, or by events in their past or future. At its heart, Thunderbolts is a story about healing from trauma and confronting your inner struggles. It’s about accepting yourself and others, and learning to move on after suffering great loss. What made this film special wasn’t the special effects or star power; it was that, for once, a Marvel movie had a central story that felt genuinely human and relatable.

Many anime series begin as popular manga published in weekly or monthly magazines. Because there’s a constant stream of interesting new manga, there are plenty of great stories waiting to be adapted into animated form. While fans all have their favorites, some series are particularly well-suited for anime and could attract a wider audience. This list highlights a few manga that deserve an anime adaptation, giving longtime fans a chance to see their beloved characters come to life on screen.

The anime series Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle experienced production issues after its fifth episode aired, causing a delay in the release of the following five episodes. Episodes 11 through 13 were then postponed with no set return date. However, a recent announcement confirmed the series will continue next spring to complete its first season.

Despite some recent challenges with Marvel movies, Disney has still had a strong year, with three of its films ranking among the highest earners. Surprisingly, Disney’s biggest hit of 2025 isn’t a Marvel film, a live-action remake, or a new Avatar movie—it’s Zootopia 2. The sequel has already earned over $1.46 billion worldwide, breaking Disney records and proving the franchise is a major success, potentially surpassing even their most established properties.

The Doctor has gone by many names throughout his adventures. One notable alias, “John Smith,” was first suggested by companion Jamie McCrimmon in a 1968 episode called “The Wheel in Space.” The Third Doctor, played by Jon Pertwee, embraced the name while living on Earth, and even David Tennant’s Doctor used it, famously as a clue in the 2006 episode “School Reunion.” However, after using “John Smith” for years, the Doctor has now decided to go by something new.
