In an interview with CBR, Joe Russo discussed how he and his brother Anthony altered Spider-Man’s origin story for his introduction to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Captain America: Civil War. Russo, a lifelong Spider-Man fan, explained that he connected with the idea of a young person burdened with great responsibility. He felt that responsibility could be powerfully portrayed through the accidental death of a loved one, creating a sense of loss and pressure. However, the filmmakers decided not to make Tom Holland’s Spider-Man responsible for Uncle Ben’s death, believing it would fundamentally change the character. Russo felt blaming himself would create a much darker and more intense portrayal than they were aiming for.

Now that the Black Clover manga has finished and a new anime season is coming, the final volume release date in Japan has been announced. Volume 38, which includes the last 12 chapters (potentially split into multiple parts), will be available in Japan on August 4th, according to the series’ official social media. A release date for other countries hasn’t been announced yet.

This remaster has evolved into more of a remake with each new improvement, as many systems from the original Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag have been overhauled or added. Features like a toggleable crouch, improved tailing missions, and enhanced parkour make playing as Edward Kenway feel both new and familiar. Importantly, Black Flag Resynced avoids becoming a full-fledged RPG like Assassin’s Creed: Shadows or Valhalla, instead blending classic elements with modern enhancements.

The best prequel stories take characters who played smaller roles or hinted-at past events and make them the focus. When done well, this creates a richer viewing experience where everything that happens in the original show feels more meaningful, because we’ve seen the choices that led to it. Many popular dramas have interesting characters and backstories that were never fully explored, making them perfect candidates for prequel series.

It’s common to see evil versions of superheroes, but when those dark reflections team up, they become incredibly dangerous. These twisted versions of the Justice League are responsible for horrific acts, ranging from mass killings to establishing oppressive governments, making them truly despicable.

I’m a huge fan of O’Shea Jackson Jr. – it’s awesome seeing Ice Cube’s son kill it in Hollywood! He’s already been in some amazing movies like Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Straight Outta Compton, Cocaine Bear, and Den of Thieves. But here’s a surprise: he’s a One Piece fan! However, he recently shared something pretty shocking – he absolutely hates the Thriller Bark arc. He was totally honest on social media, saying it really tested his patience and even called it a “Scooby Doo a arc” that could “go to hell”! It’s funny to hear what even fans dislike, and this one definitely got a reaction!

Saros, Sony’s newest PlayStation 5 game, came out a few days ago on April 30th, 2026. This is where we stand with it now.

Throughout the fifth season of The Boys, a major conflict has been brewing between The Deep and Black Noir II. What started as a seemingly amicable relationship deteriorated as The Deep desperately tried to win Homelander’s approval. Last week, The Deep discovered that Black Noir was involved in a plot orchestrated by Adam Bourke – specifically, sending an eel through the sewers to harm him. This week, their tension finally exploded into a fight, which The Deep won, ultimately killing Black Noir II. Many fans, however, were disappointed by this outcome.

In an interview with Collider, NetherRealm’s Ed Boon was asked about the studio’s next game. He didn’t share any specifics, saying that doing so would cause problems. However, Boon did confirm that NetherRealm is working on another Mortal Kombat title. It’s unclear if this will be a direct sequel to 2023’s Mortal Kombat 1 or a separate spin-off game, but the statement indicates that the Mortal Kombat franchise will remain a key focus for the studio in the future.

To maintain their power, villains like Hector Hammond, Veronica Cale, and Jack Grimm (the Absolute Universe’s version of the Joker) created their own Justice League. They hoped that by combining forces, they could stop the growing number of heroes. But this plan has failed – two members have lost everything without any help from the League. Now, one of them is facing death at a critical moment for the Absolute Universe.
