Eclectic Pictures and Hollywood Ventures Group are developing a new film based on The Expendables, but with a female-led cast, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. While no actors, director, or writers are confirmed yet, the movie will be an origin story set in the late 1990s, tapping into the anxieties surrounding the Y2K scare and global political instability. Currently referred to unofficially as The Expendabelles, the film is intended to stand on its own as a complete story, while also adding depth to the existing Expendables world.

Launching June 8th, Solarpunk is a cozy survival game with a unique twist: it’s set among beautiful, floating islands. Players will be able to build, farm, automate tasks, explore, and team up with others in a peaceful world focused on sustainability and creativity. While it shares similarities with other crafting and farming games, Solarpunk distinguishes itself with its stunning setting, airships, and innovative energy systems. It’s already incredibly popular on Steam, and many believe it could be one of the biggest surprise hits of 2026.

From Thanos stepping down to Captain America handing off his shield, here are five moments from Marvel comic books that were accurately recreated in the movies.

Many DC fans suspect that Matt Reeves subtly hinted at details beyond what was immediately obvious. Some even believe he secretly revealed who the villain will be in The Batman: Part II. Did anyone else notice this, or is it just online speculation?

Marvel’s heroes and villains face both epic threats and everyday problems. Interestingly, most of them don’t unleash their full strength unless absolutely necessary, often conserving their power for the most dangerous conflicts. These seven powerful characters are prime examples of this careful approach.

Okay, so it’s not exactly surprising, but The Simpsons was seriously ahead of its time – they were one of the first animated shows to actually include a live-action segment. I recently revisited Season 27’s episode 21, “Simprovised,” and it’s a fun one. The main story follows Homer trying to conquer his fear of public speaking through an improv class, which is classic Homer. There’s also a side plot about Bart getting jealous of Ralph Wiggum and dismantling his treehouse. Honestly, it’s a pretty standard Simpsons episode… until you get to this one incredible, completely live-action sequence that really sets it apart.

Okay, so I’m super hyped for this open-world racing game coming to PS5 in late 2026. It’s getting insane buzz already – it’s currently sitting at a 92 on Metacritic, which is the highest score any game has gotten all year!

While Vincent D’Onofrio is fantastic, and the idea of him playing a different kind of villain is exciting, constantly using Kingpin as the main threat could become repetitive. He’s earned a break, and it would be great if Sony could find a way to include him in a Spider-Man movie.

Even though Kingpin is returning, there’s still an opportunity to give someone else the main villain role – it just requires some creativity. The new villain also needs to fit the storyline established at the end of Born Again Season 2. Setting aside the confirmed return of Lady Muse, here are some of the best choices for the main villain in Daredevil: Born Again Season 3.
