Jon Favreau recently told SFX Magazine (via The Direct) that the upcoming The Mandalorian & Grogu movie connects to Season 2 of Ahsoka within the broader MandoVerse. He confirmed he’s seen all of Ahsoka Season 2 and explained how the two shows fit together. Favreau pointed out that the sequels established the rise of the First Order about 20 years after the current timeline. He described Ahsoka Season 2 as focusing on the ‘big picture’ and high-ranking officers, while The Mandalorian & Grogu offers a ‘ground-level’ view of events – essentially, the perspective of those carrying out the orders.

Let’s talk about The Expanse: Osiris Reborn. This is new ground for Owlcat Games, the team behind CRPGs like Pathfinder: Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous, as well as Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. Shifting from the tactical, pause-and-play or turn-based combat they’re known for to a fast-paced, cover-based shooter is a big change in itself. Combining that with the existing, detailed world and fanbase of The Expanse sci-fi series makes this project particularly challenging and risky.
Following the amazing first issue of DC/Marvel: Superman/Spider-Man was a tough act, but this new installment delivers. That’s not surprising, considering the incredible team of writers and artists working on it.

The closed beta for The Expanse: Osiris Reborn is now available on PC through Steam, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. This beta lets you try out key parts of the game before it officially launches in Spring 2027. Owlcat will use feedback from players to improve the final version, so it’s a great opportunity to help shape the game. If you’re wondering how long the beta will take, what it includes, or how to join, I have all the information you need.
The success of Deadpool & Wolverine has unexpectedly opened the door for Hugh Jackman to continue playing Wolverine in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Although he hasn’t been officially announced for Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars, it’s highly probable that Wolverine and Deadpool will play a role in the upcoming multiversal storyline. Since the pair survived their movie but haven’t yet joined the main timeline, and Marvel is planning a franchise reboot, the possibilities are endless. Once Jackman’s Wolverine enters the main timeline, Marvel can draw upon decades of comic book storylines to create compelling conflicts and rivalries for the character.
The 2008 slasher film Prom Night, starring Brittany Snow, will soon be removed from Tubi. This remake of the classic 1980 film—the fifth and last in the Prom Night series—follows high schooler Donna Keppel as she’s stalked by a dangerous former teacher with a history of violence against her family, all while trying to enjoy her senior prom. Despite a modest $20 million budget, the movie was a box office success, earning over $57 million.

Okay, so a supposed leaked photo from the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day has everyone talking. It shows Sadie Sink standing next to Jon Bernthal’s Punisher, but there’s a catch – it’s got a Google Gemini watermark, which makes some people doubt if it’s even real. Regardless, it’s brought the speculation about Sink’s role right back to the surface. While a lot of fans still think she’s playing Jean Grey, the idea that she might actually be taking on the villain Typhoid Mary is gaining traction again. It’s definitely got the internet buzzing!
