If you’re following the MonsterVerse movies and shows, here’s the order they were released: Godzilla, Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Godzilla vs. Kong, the Skull Island anime on Netflix, Season 1 of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Season 2 of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, and the upcoming Godzilla x Kong: Supernova. Let’s take a closer look at where Season 2 of Monarch fits into this timeline.

The 2016 film Assassin’s Creed was intended to launch a movie franchise based on the popular Ubisoft video game series. The movie boasted a strong cast, including Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, and Jeremy Irons, and didn’t simply retell a game story, instead crafting a new one within the same world. Plans were already underway for two sequels, with one even in early development while the first film was being made. However, the movie was poorly received by both critics and audiences – it currently has a 18% rating on Rotten Tomatoes – and didn’t perform well financially, effectively ending any possibility of further films.

A key reason why the game Thief is so highly regarded is its realistic approach to stealth. The game carefully considers how light, sound, and the player’s actions all affect whether or not enemies can spot you. Enemy vision isn’t just a simple line of sight; it’s influenced by sounds and light sources in the environment. While the 2014 Thief remake didn’t emphasize this as much, games like Alien Isolation successfully use this system to create truly immersive and engaging experiences.

Get ready for the return of Tokyo Xtreme Racer, the long-awaited launch of Xbox’s Towerborne, and the release of the highly anticipated Resident Evil Requiem!

Goldin, the company behind Logan Paul’s famous Pikachu card sale, is holding another Pokemon auction from February 20th to March 8th. Called the Pokemon 151 Auction, it will feature a selection of rare and historical Pokemon cards and collectibles. Whether you’re a collector or just enjoy seeing how much these cards are worth, this auction is one to check out.

Okay, horror fans, get ready! Bill Hader – yes, the brilliant mind behind Barry and former SNL star – is diving into the horror genre with a new film called They Know. He’s not just acting, he’s writing and directing! The story centers around a divorced dad who starts to worry his ex-wife’s new boyfriend is…off, and negatively impacting their kids. As someone who loved the dark humor and tight direction of Barry, I’m already incredibly hyped to see Hader take the reins again. Honestly, given his clear passion for horror, I think he’s poised to join the ranks of Jordan Peele and Mark Cregger as a comedic genius who absolutely gets scary.

If you’re an HBO Max subscriber, you have only a few days left to watch the critically acclaimed film, Portrait of a Lady on Fire. This beautiful and intimate French romance, directed by Céline Sciamma, will be leaving the streaming service on February 28th. Set in 18th-century France, the film stars Adèle Haenel and Noémie Merlant as a woman preparing for marriage and the artist who is tasked with painting her portrait. Their initial professional relationship soon blossoms into a secret and intense love affair. It currently boasts a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The reality is Wolverine is a demanding physical role, and Hugh Jackman is 57 years old. While he’s still in great shape and could play the character for a little longer (Marvel should act fast!), eventually someone else will have to take over. Luckily, we already have a perfect candidate: Dafne Keen.

The animated series She-Ra and the Princesses of Power originally aired on Netflix from 2015 to 2020, lasting five seasons. Now that the show’s agreement with Netflix has ended—as it was a co-production with DreamWorks Animation—it’s currently unavailable on any streaming service. Unlike some other animated shows that have moved to new platforms, She-Ra isn’t currently available anywhere except for a DVD set containing the first three seasons, and only one season is available for digital purchase.
