Did you know that Sonic 3 concluded the initial trilogy with a surprise post-credits scene, similar to those in Marvel movies? This hinted at a brand new story for Sonic and his friends. In the film, Sonic (voiced by Ben Schwartz) was racing with Tails (Colleen O’Shaughnessey) and Knuckles (Idris Elba) when he suddenly found himself alone in the woods and attacked by a group of Metal Sonic robots—characters from the video games. Just when it looked like Sonic was in trouble, a mysterious hedgehog with a hammer and a hood appeared and saved him. This instantly led fans to believe that Amy Rose would be making her first appearance in Sonic 4.

Luca Guadagnino’s 2022 film, Bones and All, is a romantic horror story about two young cannibals, Maren and Lee (played by Taylor Russell and Timothée Chalamet), who fall in love while traveling across America and grappling with their unusual desires. Based on Camille DeAngelis’ 2015 novel, the movie will be leaving Netflix on February 27th, so viewers have a little over a week left to watch it on the platform.

Even though the next PlayStation is likely a couple of years away – or even longer – it’s still fun to consider what new features it might have.

In a recent interview with IGN, studio founder and CEO Matt Webster explained that this is a fully-featured release. He stated they’ve included a campaign, arcade mode, and multiplayer, making it a complete package.

Adult Swim is bringing a new animated series called My Two Cars to its lineup. Created by Dan Licata and Joe Pera – known for his live-action show Joe Pera Talks With You on Adult Swim – the series is delightfully strange. Each episode centers around the main character’s daily dilemma of choosing which of his two cars to drive. You can get a first look at My Two Cars below.

A good example of this is the movie I Am Number Four, which was adapted from the book of the same name by Pittacus Lore (a pen name for author James Frey). It came out in theaters on February 18, 2011, with the intention of launching a new science fiction film series. At the time, the second book in the series, The Power of Six, was scheduled to be released soon, and more movies were planned. Sadly, I Am Number Four only earned $149.9 million worldwide, despite costing $60 million to make, so any sequels were cancelled. Still, fans of the books haven’t completely given up hope.

A new book titled “The Art of the Movie” for Spider-Man: Brand New Day was recently listed on the Penguin Random House website, hinting at a release later this year. While the book currently has a placeholder cover and an August release date, the listing includes a complete plot summary – a major reveal since Sony and Marvel haven’t officially shared those details yet. This is exciting news for fans eagerly awaiting the trailer, and the plot seems to confirm many of the rumors circulating online.

Anya Taylor-Joy became a star thanks to her role as Elizabeth Harmon, a brilliant but troubled chess player, in the 2020 Netflix miniseries The Queen’s Gambit. The show was an instant success when it premiered in October, quickly becoming Netflix’s most popular program ever. It dominated awards shows, winning eleven Primetime Emmys and two Golden Globes, including a Best Actress award for Taylor-Joy. Many expected Netflix to continue the story as a full series – which is now common practice – but six years later, fans are still hoping to see what happens next.

This is precisely why the Norse-themed God of War games were so different – they revamped the setting, gameplay, and, importantly, gave Kratos more depth as a character. This fresh start was desperately needed, and the newer games have solidified the franchise’s place as a key PlayStation title.

The Deadpool: Samurai comic series briefly paused in 2024 but recently resumed with new issues. Now that it’s back, a major storyline has begun: Deadpool is facing a huge battle against an army of alternate versions of himself. It’s unclear how long this final confrontation will last.
