For nearly five decades of Star Wars storytelling, we haven’t truly seen Jedi and Sith working as allies. The only situation where such a partnership would make sense is if they faced a common enemy even more dangerous than themselves. While the Jedi have occasionally made deals with the dark side to overcome powerful threats – like when Padawan Ezra Bridger briefly allied with Maul in Star Wars Rebels – those instances usually involved Jedi who weren’t fully devoted to the traditional Jedi Order. Now, the new Star Wars series, Maul – Shadow Lord, is finally exploring a genuine team-up between Jedi and Sith.

I’m so glad to hear Cygames is including a good intro for the re-release! It sounds like they’re going to give us a clear rundown of everything that happened before the game’s story actually starts, which is awesome for people like me who might need a refresher or are new to the world.

There’s a lot to look forward to for Dragon Ball fans! New downloadable content is coming to popular games like Xenoverse 2 and FighterZ, and the free-to-play games are getting expanded. Plus, Dragon Ball Age 1000, a sequel set far in the future, will actually be the next Xenoverse game. Overall, it’s great news, and fans have a lot to enjoy over the next couple of years.

After successfully reimagining the Evil Dead story, Lee Cronin turned his attention to another classic horror series: The Mummy. His The Mummy is a reboot of Universal’s long-running franchise – which started in 1932 with Lon Chaney – and leans heavily into horror, earning an R rating. While quite different from previous Mummy films, Cronin cleverly connected it to his Evil Dead universe. He revealed in an interview with Collider that a professor character in The Mummy shares a family name with characters from Evil Dead Rise.

It’s surprising to hear that Ryan Reynolds is stepping back from starring as Deadpool, given how much work went into bringing the character to the big screen. He spent years convincing studios to take a chance on the R-rated anti-hero and give him his own movie. However, ten years after the first Deadpool film, Reynolds has indicated he’s ready to share the spotlight, as he recently explained to Today.

Okay, let’s talk about Soldier Boy’s… extracurricular activities. He gets involved with Firecracker, and it’s quickly revealed this is less about attraction and more about a twisted attempt at revenge against his son. It’s a bit deflated when we learn Firecracker and Homelander weren’t close, though. But here’s where it gets interesting: fans are convinced this encounter has given Firecracker the virus that kills Supes, and she’s not going to survive. The theory is really taking off, and honestly, X user @b1ngbvag_ put it best in a post I saw – it’s a truly compelling, if disturbing, thought.

As a long-time Spider-Man fan, I’ve learned there are actually five official powers he has, but it’s strange – you almost never see them used in the comics anymore. Sometimes a writer will bring one back for a specific story, but that’s rare.

As a huge fan of The Lord of the Rings, I’ve always noticed a few things about Aragorn and the people of Men that just don’t quite add up. There are some real mysteries there! Luckily, with all the new Lord of the Rings projects coming out – especially The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, which seems like it’ll really focus on Aragorn – hopefully we’ll get some answers soon. But for now, let me share five things that still puzzle me about Aragorn and the race of Men in the movies.

Andrew Braund, a teaching assistant and former Pokémon collector, recently discovered a valuable treasure while cleaning out his childhood attic. He took his old Pokémon card collection to a friend’s shop, hoping to earn around £500 ($673). Instead, he found three incredibly rare Charizard cards! Initially valued at $20,000, the cards ultimately sold for $41,000 at Ewbank’s Auctions. Braund and his fiancée, Rachel Moseley, plan to use the money to fund their wedding.

I love getting into the Warhammer 40,000 universe, and honestly, I usually do it through the games – even though a lot of them are just okay. I’m a huge fan of Space Marine 2, which is easily one of the best Warhammer games out there, and Dawn of War was a massive part of my childhood. But what really grabs me are the weird, forgotten Warhammer games – the ones that aren’t perfect but still have a dedicated fanbase. I was so excited when one of those recently showed up on Steam, because I have a lot of good memories playing it when I was younger. Thankfully, it seems like the often-criticized Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior has aged well and is totally worth checking out in 2026, if you’re willing to forgive a few rough edges.
