It’s still unclear how they’ll all fit into the story, but there will likely be a lot of villains for Spider-Man to fight. Some of these villains might even be rivals to Peter Parker himself. Several villains are expected to appear in *Spider-Man: Brand New Day*. Michael Mando will return as Mac Gargan, finally continuing the storyline from the post-credits scene in *Spider-Man: Homecoming*, where Scorpion was set up as a major threat. There are even more villains rumored, which raises the question: can a story have too many bad guys?

Shooting is a major topic of discussion for players of *NBA 2K26*. It’s become a recurring issue in recent games, as the developers, Visual Concepts, haven’t quite perfected it. While they made significant changes to shooting in *NBA 2K26* based on player feedback – even removing random chance – fans haven’t seen the improvement they hoped for. Despite the rework, shooting still isn’t feeling right for many players.

Currently, the film *Him* has a 34% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 47 critic reviews. This makes it Jordan Peele’s lowest-rated movie to date. It’s only the second project Peele has been involved with to receive a negative score on the site – the first was the 2012 comedy *Wanderlust*, where he played a character named Rodney. *Him* is also the only film Peele has directed with a score lower than 72%.

Pixar’s summer sci-fi film, *Elio*, received generally positive reviews, earning an 83% rating from critics and a 90% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. However, despite the good reception, the film didn’t make back its production costs at the box office, grossing around $154 million worldwide. *Elio* reportedly cost between $150 and $200 million to make.

Jaz Sinclair, star of *Gen V*, recently discussed her character Marie Moreau in an interview with ComicBook. Marie, who can control blood, is increasingly being positioned as potentially more powerful than Homelander, a key storyline for the show’s second season. Sinclair believes Marie *is* indeed more powerful.

Great news for fans of *Dandadan* – a third season is officially happening! The team shared a new illustration featuring Momo, Okarun, and Turbo Granny to celebrate. While we don’t have a release date yet, it shouldn’t be too long before we see the characters return. The second season ended with a thrilling finale, throwing the cast into a battle with a massive monster, proving the show can take the story in any direction and introduce all kinds of creatures.

So, why is Ubisoft revisiting *Prince of Persia* now? The launch of *Skull and Bones* was a major disappointment. Despite being hyped as a groundbreaking “AAAA” title and built on the success of *Black Flag*, it failed to impress, receiving a score of 59 on Metacritic and a 3.3 user rating. Given that the pirate game didn’t succeed, it’s likely Ubisoft is trying to broaden the appeal of *Black Flag* in this remake by moving away from a purely pirate-focused experience.

The new ‘Modifiers’ patch introduces a variety of gameplay changes, adding extra twists to your experience. For instance, you can enable a noir visual filter, or face a unique challenge: a snail assassin that relentlessly, but slowly, pursues you throughout the city.

For a long time, fans have argued about a small detail that actually creates a big problem with the scene. If tauntauns are naturally suited to the freezing planet Hoth, why did one die from the cold while Han Solo, a relatively weak human, survived just fine?

While it might seem like a step back for Superman to share the focus, that’s not James Gunn’s intention. After getting his own movie, David Corenswet’s Superman will take a supporting role to give other characters a chance to lead. But he’ll actually appear more often overall, with plans for him to return to the DC Universe very soon.
