The popular series One Piece has revealed that it will resume with the second part of the Egghead Saga once the anime resumes from its break, and this could bring significant alterations in how the show is presented. The Egghead Arc of One Piece caused a stir among fans earlier this year when it was disclosed that the TV series would temporarily halt for an extended period, marking the first such hiatus in its 25-year run. This pause was necessary to ensure the team is well-prepared for the latter stages of this significant arc, and the show’s broadcast schedule may undergo modifications when it resumes.

As the year 2024 draws to a close, it’s become apparent which films have dominated the box office. Some of the top performers include “Inside Out 2”, “Deadpool & Wolverine”, “Wicked”, “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice”, and “It Ends With Us”. Despite two labor strikes in 2023 and other factors affecting the number of films released this year, the domestic box office is on track for a strong finish. Moreover, 2025 could potentially mark a return to something akin to pre-2020 normality at the box office, if all goes well.

Next year, “My Hero Academia” returns to our screens with a fresh new anime installment, whereas its spinoff, “My Hero Academia: Vigilantes,” has unveiled the first sneak peek of its upcoming debut trailer. The television run for “My Hero Academia” will conclude next year with the premiere of its eighth and final season. Slated for a Fall release, it won’t be long until fans can witness how the story unfolds for Izuku Midoriya and the rest of the crew. However, as the main series concludes, the anime universe of “My Hero Academia” will live on through a brand new series.

This year for TNA has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride, starting with the TNA Hard To Kill event. Since then, things have only gotten more dynamic, with shifts in management, talent, and partnerships with WWE. As 2025 draws near, there are rumors suggesting that long-term talents such as Rhino and Steph De Lander may be leaving the company. However, TNA World Champion Nic Nemeth remains upbeat about their future prospects.

In terms of contemporary historical horror, there’s nobody more skilled than Robert Eggers at the moment. His works, such as “The Witch” and “The Lighthouse,” are masterfully crafted to create an eerie atmosphere and tension. And based on initial reactions from critics, his upcoming project, “Nosferatu,” seems to follow suit. What’s more, it appears that his latest work not only meets the high standards set by those modern classics but may even surpass them.

The highly anticipated sequel to Ridley Scott’s 2000 film, Gladiator II, is leaving the cinematic stage. Starring Russell Crowe as Maximus Decimus Meridius, the general turned enslaved gladiator, this sequel has grossed $416 million since its release on Nov. 22, competing with Wicked. In the lead role of Maximus’ son, adult Lucius Verus Aurelius (previously played by Spencer Treat Clark), we see Paul Mescal. The cast also includes Connie Nielsen as Lucius’ mother, Lucilla; Pedro Pascal as Roman General Acacius; Joseph Quinn and Fred Hechinger as the cruel Emperors Geta and Caracalla; and Denzel Washington as arms dealer Macrinus.
