In the newest season, Donatello starts communicating with a mutant creature called Wingnut, voiced by Natasia Demetriou (known from What We Do In The Shadows). As seen in the recent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, Donatello is a big anime fan – he even talks about Attack on Titan. In a funny scene (available below), Wingnut shares a “secret message” for Donatello, referencing Nico Robin’s battle against CP9 in the anime One Piece.

From the very start, what’s always impressed me about Absolute Flash is its character work, and this issue really showcases that strength. We all know Wally West and Grodd are compelling, but Captain Cold… there’s just something about him. He’s so capable and collected, he instantly commands your attention whenever he appears. Honestly, the Rogues have been a standout element of this series since day one, and this issue utilizes them brilliantly. Trickster continues to be a scene-stealer – Jesse’s sharp humor never misses – and the fight with Heatwave is a fantastic little diversion, perfectly capturing the Rogues’ dynamic with a clever assist. It’s a genuinely enjoyable sequence that makes you think the main event is over… but trust me, it’s not.

If the next Lord of the Rings film wants to regain the franchise’s popularity and box office success, it needs to attract a larger audience than the previous movie. The War of the Rohirrim earned only $20 million worldwide, which was a record low for the series. But the decline in performance actually began 11 years ago, and the franchise hasn’t recovered since.

Netflix released the anime series The Summer Hikaru Died this summer, adapting the original manga by Mokumokuren.

The anime’s popularity has boosted manga sales to 4.5 million copies, establishing it as a leading horror manga. With new chapters still being published, the future looks bright for this series and its characters.

The Terminator franchise is moving forward with plans for another film, though details are still developing. James Cameron, who created the series, is writing the story, but admits he’s still brainstorming ideas. Recently, he confirmed one major change: Arnold Schwarzenegger, a long-time star of the films, will not be returning, marking a departure from the series’ usual pattern.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter promoting Avatar: Fire and Ash, James Cameron discussed his plans for the future. He confirmed he has more stories he wants to tell, both within the Avatar universe and beyond. However, he doesn’t intend to dedicate years solely to making Avatar films. Instead, he’s looking for a more collaborative approach. While he may not completely stop directing, he plans to take a less detailed, hands-on role in the filmmaking process.

Netflix is developing a spin-off series based on the film Extraction, starring Omar Sy (Lupin, Jurassic World). Created and written by Glen Mazzara, who previously ran The Walking Dead, the new show will center on Sy’s character – another mercenary – as he attempts a risky hostage rescue in Libya. He’ll face dangerous criminals and grapple with his own difficult history. Netflix has shared the first look at Sy on set, which you can find below.

The final fight in Chainsaw Man part 2 is constantly raising the stakes, and chapter 223 delivered a huge surprise. While many fans had jokingly predicted this twist, its actual arrival shows just how wild and intense the final battle is becoming.
