During an interview on the 2 Bears, 1 Cave podcast, James Gunn discussed the timeline for a larger, ongoing story he’s developing. He estimated it would take around a decade to unfold, but stressed that this is flexible. Gunn explained he won’t approve any project unless he loves the script, and some planned projects haven’t come together as expected. He wants to keep the overall vision consistent, but also be prepared to adjust details as needed, meaning the broad strokes remain the same even if specific plans change.

This *Pumpkinhead* movie isn’t related to the 1988 film of the same name. It’s based on a short story by R.L. Stine called *The Haunting Hour*. Like many of Stine’s stories, this version is aimed at young adults and features a group of young people facing a powerful, relentless enemy. You can watch it for free on Tubi starting October 17th.

The film *Battle Royale* is a unique and influential horror movie. Released in 2000, based on Koushun Takami’s novel, it deeply resonated with audiences and left a lasting impact. Though not the first film to explore the ‘death game’ concept, *Battle Royale* was groundbreaking for depicting a class of students forced to fight for survival in a cruel government experiment. Now, fans can experience it again on the big screen with a new 4K restoration, thanks to Iconic Events Releasing and Lionsgate, and a special trailer and poster are available below.

Just to clarify, this new Doom Slayer figure won’t be an “Elite” version like previous releases. McFarlane Toys announced on X (formerly Twitter) that it will be a standard figure priced at $34.99. While it won’t have the extra features of an Elite figure (which typically cost $60), that actually makes it more affordable. If you want to add it to your collection, it’s available for purchase today, September 23rd, at both Entertainment Earth and Amazon.

As of September 22, 2025, *The Fantastic Four: First Steps* has earned $521 million worldwide, according to data from *The Numbers*. This makes it a success, as it has now outperformed the 2015 film *Ant-Man* ($519 million) despite nearing the end of its time in theaters. With the movie now available to rent or buy digitally, its theatrical run is almost over. While *First Steps* has done well, it’s unlikely to reach the $585 million earned by 2008’s *Iron Man* – that goal is probably out of reach.

While rewatching *Avengers: Infinity War* isn’t a priority now that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is focused on its new Multiverse Saga, the film still has consequences for current movies and TV shows. A specific line from *Infinity War* is being discussed again in 2025 because it appears the MCU is overlooking it once more.

Superheroes often possess incredible powers – they can move mountains or travel across galaxies instantly. But even with such godlike abilities, they aren’t invincible. Every hero, no matter how powerful, has experienced defeat, sometimes when it seems impossible. Today, we’ll explore ten superheroes who are so strong they *should* be unbeatable, yet consistently lose battles.

Fans already know two of the figures are Maomao and Jinshi, but the identities of the others are still a secret. To celebrate, a Halloween-themed event with new character artwork will be held at Animate from November 15th to December 7th, offering a variety of merchandise. Last year’s event was very popular, and this year promises more new looks at the characters. Although this keeps fans excited about the series, the studio hasn’t yet announced whether there will be a sequel.

A recent post on X by @housethedragons suggests a surprising twist for Daeron Targaryen in Season 3 of the show. It builds on earlier rumors that Daeron – the son of Alicent Hightower and Viserys Targaryen – would be captured or surrender to Daemon Targaryen, with set photos seemingly confirming a scene between them. This already deviates from the book *Fire & Blood*, where this doesn’t happen. However, the newest rumor claims there’s even more to the story: apparently, two actors are playing Daeron. Charlie Gordon portrays a decoy version of Daeron who is given up to Daemon, while Benjamin Evan Ainsworth plays the real Daeron.

The line between heroes and villains isn’t always clear. Sometimes, villains aren’t just opponents to overcome; they challenge our assumptions and make us rethink who we’re rooting for. They can even make us wonder if we’ve been on the wrong side all along. There are three villains who perfectly illustrate this, setting them apart because their motivations were actually justified.
