The 2014 film *Kingsman: The Secret Service*, based on the comic book *The Secret Service* by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons, was a huge success. It was packed with exciting, over-the-top action, witty humor, a talented team behind the scenes, and introduced audiences to new stars like Taron Egerton. The film earned over $414 million worldwide on an $81 million budget, making a sequel and potentially a series like *John Wick* seem very likely. Unfortunately, things didn’t quite work out as planned.

Laura Kuenssberg recently interviewed actors Andrew Lincoln and Alicia Vikander on her show about their upcoming play, *The Lady from the Sea*. During the September 21, 2025 episode, Kuenssberg also spoke with Lincoln about his experience working on *The Walking Dead* in the US, which he described as a very positive time. He even hinted at a possible return to the show, stating that discussions are currently underway, strongly suggesting that his character, Rick Grimes, will be back.

Despite mixed reactions from critics, the anime film *Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle* has become a major success in theaters and is now highly rated. It currently boasts a 98% score on Rotten Tomatoes, surpassing the beloved classic *Spirited Away* to claim a spot among the top 10 highest-rated anime films on the platform. *Spirited Away* tells the story of a young girl who enters the spirit world to rescue her parents, aided by a grumpy bathhouse employee and a forgetful river spirit.

The director shared an intriguing hint about the next Batman villain. He didn’t reveal the character’s identity, but said it’s someone we haven’t seen portrayed on screen before – likely in a live-action film, as many villains appear in animation. It could be a completely original character, or a fresh take on an existing one, like Mr. Freeze. Regardless, Reeves made it clear that the villain won’t be the Joker, even though Barry Keoghan played him briefly in the first movie.

Fans have always known Steve and Bucky are close, but this series really highlights how crucial Bucky is to Steve. He’s not just a friend or helper; he’s the core of Steve’s values and feelings. The story shows that Steve’s sadness and loneliness mean Bucky – or the memory of him – is the inner voice that directs what Steve does, and surprisingly, is the origin of Captain America’s strong beliefs.

Throughout its nine seasons, *Scrubs* consistently surprised its audience. Beyond the characters’ relationships, the show often featured episodes that defied expectations, even for longtime fans. Whether through surprising plot twists or creative, unconventional formats, *Scrubs* wasn’t afraid to break the mold to provide entertaining television.

There are many talented shonen manga writers, but this list highlights the absolute top tier. These creators have achieved huge success with their popular stories, many of which have been adapted into anime. Each one has a unique style – some are known for intricate plots, while others excel at quirky and creative storytelling. Ultimately, they all know how to captivate readers from beginning to end.

While the Marvel Cinematic Universe is known for its huge, world-changing events, it’s the personal conflicts between characters that truly drive the stories. Because the MCU unfolds over time, it can carefully build complicated relationships – rivalries, broken friendships, and clashes of beliefs – that add depth and emotional weight to the epic battles. These personal connections are what make the larger conflicts feel important and relatable.

With *Star Trek: Strange New Worlds* bringing back characters from the original *Enterprise* crew and connecting to the era of Captain Kirk, many fans hoped the show would finally address the long-standing issue of how Chekov and Khan knew each other. The series offered a chance to explain their connection, maybe by showing them meeting during an earlier adventure. However, the show’s creators have now confirmed that Chekov won’t be appearing on Pike’s Enterprise, effectively ending any possibility of resolving this plot hole in *Star Trek* history.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is famous for its incredible sword fighting, but its story is just as captivating. Unlike other games from the same developer, Sekiro’s story is fairly straightforward. The game takes place in a crumbling feudal Japan and follows Wolf as he tries to protect his young master, Kuro, who possesses unique and sought-after abilities. If you’re wondering what a Sekiro anime might look like, the classic anime *Dororo* offers a good idea. Like Sekiro, *Dororo* features a main character with a prosthetic arm and travels with a young companion, making it a perfect watch for fans hoping to see Sekiro adapted into animated form.
