Beyond any doubt, director Jon M. Chu deeply misses the omitted scenes from the Wicked movie, as he himself admitted in a recent conversation. According to him, it was challenging to remove each scene, whether it featured Fiyero in the forest or Boq and Elphaba’s moments that haven’t been shown yet. He referred to these unseen scenes as our “babies” too, expressing that there are instances where he thought, “No one will ever get to witness this.” However, when the audience responds positively to the movie, they can enjoy those hidden gems. So, Chu is eager to share more of what fans have been anticipating from these characters and what they might not expect, as he believes their performances are truly exceptional.

As a lifelong fan of both horror movies and Marvel Cinematic Universe, I am thrilled to learn that Ryan Coogler, the brilliant mind behind “Black Panther,” is delving into the world of vampires with his upcoming film “Sinners.” With my extensive experience in watching countless vampire films, I can confidently say that this collaboration with Michael B. Jordan will undoubtedly be a unique and exciting addition to the genre.

Coogler’s directorial style, coupled with his exceptional storytelling abilities demonstrated in “Black Panther,” promises an engaging and suspenseful narrative that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats. The film’s release date of April 18, 2025, seems like an eternity away, but as someone who eagerly awaited the premiere of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” in 2022, I am ready to add “Sinners” to my must-watch list.

The anticipation for this film is already high, and with good reason. Coogler’s previous works have shown a deep understanding of character development and world-building, which will undoubtedly be on display in his vampire tale. I can’t wait to see how he breathes new life (pun intended) into the classic creatures of the night and how he will weave them seamlessly into an original story that is sure to captivate audiences worldwide.

Smaller comic book publishers have produced some remarkable films from their literature, such as Scott Pilgrim vs. the World by Oni Press and The Crow, Wanted, and Kick-Ass from Image. However, just as excellent movies can arise from vast literary collections, so too can disappointing ones – films even worse than the mediocre 2024 remake of The Crow. Although the latest portrayal of Eric Draven’s revenge isn’t particularly impressive, it doesn’t rank among the worst superhero (or anti-hero) movies ever screened. Instead, it seems to be undeservedly maligned.

Next year, “Squid Game” will return on Netflix with its concluding episodes, and a sneak peek offers some initial insights into that intriguing post-credit scene. The second season of “Squid Game” was released just this week, and it’s already made history by becoming one of Netflix’s most-watched premieres ever. Since the creators have confirmed that a third season will wrap up the series in 2025, the anticipation for these final episodes is stronger than ever before. Now we get our first glimpse into what’s to come.

As the New Year unfolds worldwide, manga publishers and anime studios frequently post promotional images for their current top shows. These fresh key visuals serve to advertise upcoming anime or established series that continue to generate income. Typically, these New Year’s promos depict characters from the shows engaging in activities related to the holiday. Japanese publisher Shogakukan and anime studio Madhouse have released a New Year’s promotional image for one of their most successful titles, “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.” The promo image shows Frieren dressed in a white kimono with blue flowers, adopting a playful pose.
