Peacock is now streaming the first three *Friday the 13th* movies: *Friday the 13th*, *Friday the 13th – Part 2*, and *Friday The 13th – Part III*. These films are where audiences first met horror villain Jason Voorhees. They arrived on the streaming service October 1st, just before the new *Crystal Lake* series is released. Announced in October 2022, the *Crystal Lake* series will be a prequel to the original 1980 film, with Linda Cardellini playing Pamela Voorhees and Callum Vinson as a young Jason. While a release date for the series hasn’t been set, fans can revisit the original movies on Peacock now to get ready.

With the highly anticipated live-action *Moana* set to release in summer 2026, Disney is also bringing back plans for a live-action *Tangled*. According to *Deadline*, the remake of the 2010 animated film – which starred Mandy Moore as Rapunzel and Zachary Levi as Flynn Rider – is moving forward after being put on hold earlier this year. While details are still limited, Scarlett Johansson is reportedly being considered to play Mother Gothel, the villain who kidnapped Rapunzel as a baby. Donna Murphy originally voiced the character in the animated version.

According to them, this will help ensure a more fair price point for everyone involved.

This update includes features requested by players, likely as the developer nears the end of active work on the project. It will be released tomorrow. The game, which initially launched on Xbox Series X|S and PC, came to PS5 earlier this year and received the ‘The Order of Giants’ expansion last month. Currently, there are no plans for further expansions.

Taking on the identity of another hero grants you unique abilities – for example, you can use Orisa’s Javelin while disguised as her, create a Sojourn-style Disruption Field, or even have Winston rewind time like Tracer. What’s really cool is that if you use a mask on heroes with a shared history, you’ll see that familiar scene of Reinhardt and Brigitte combining their shields, a nostalgic nod to the game’s story.

The anime *Gachiakuta* will continue with a second part of its first season, but English dub fans will experience a change. Unlike the first part, where English dubs were released alongside the original Japanese versions, the official *Gachiakuta* social media announced that English dubs for the second part will be delayed. These episodes will be released in the fall.

With no new releases since *Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age*, *Dragon Quest VII Reimagined* is a great opportunity to revitalize the series while fans anticipate *Dragon Quest XII: The Flames of Fate*. Despite its unique aspects, *Dragon Quest VII* was innovative for its time, and a remake would introduce its compelling vision to a new audience.

Many of Batman’s greatest stories are accessible to new readers, but quite a few require familiarity with the wider DC Universe. Even the standalone stories often connect to larger DC storylines, which can be confusing. Sometimes, the stories are just lengthy and complex, or there are better, simpler options for beginners. Here are ten amazing Batman stories that, while fantastic, aren’t ideal for those new to DC comics.

Several actors who have worked with James Gunn on Marvel projects, like Bradley Cooper and Pom Klementieff, have small parts in the new *Superman* movie. Meanwhile, another *Guardians of the Galaxy* cast member is trying out for the role of the Joker in the DC Universe. While they’d be a great addition to the actors who’ve played the character, they might be a better fit for a different DC villain.

Rounding out the new collection are figures inspired by Iron Man’s Model 72 armor from the comics, Werewolf by Night, Enchantress, Phantom Rider, and Dark Avengers Spider-Man. Hasbro also announced two Inhumans packs – Black Bolt and Triton together, and Gorgon with Medusa – plus Retro Spider-Man 2099 and Cardiac figures during their Marvel Legends livestream at New York Comic Con. You’ll find more details about these releases further down.
