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.
Things are starting to come together, suggesting that characters we thought were gone for good might return. With familiar faces reappearing and references to the old Marvel Netflix shows, it’s becoming clear the MCU is deliberately planning to bring back a popular team – and it’s happening with a lot more purpose than people think. If you pay attention, the evidence strongly suggests the return of The Defenders.
Fans of the anime *Clevatess* have reason to celebrate! A second season is officially planned, bringing back the main character’s journey to understand humanity and safeguard a royal infant. This new installment will be called *Clevates II – The Legend of The King of Demon Beasts And The False Hero*. The first season, which just finished airing its twelve episodes, followed the powerful protagonist and their reluctant companion as they faced numerous dangers. Although a release date hasn’t been announced yet, the return of this dark fantasy series is expected to be a big event for anime viewers.
When we were deciding who should lead *Marvel Zombies*, Ms. Marvel (voiced by Iman Vellani) quickly became the obvious choice,” explained Andrews. “The story takes place around the time of *Avengers: Infinity War*, and she’s very young, before her other adventures. That meant she’d be a fresh, innocent, and optimistic character suddenly gaining powers amidst all this death and destruction – a truly awful situation. We felt a young, hopeful character facing that kind of challenge would really fit the genre and create a compelling story: could she survive it? That’s why we decided on her pretty quickly.
I’m really fascinated by Nightwing-Prime, who’s supposed to be Nightwing’s new partner, but there’s a really tragic story behind him. He’s built on the legacy of Van Zee, a hero from Kandor, but the person *inside* the suit is Bryce Morgan, a young man who grew up in the brutal gang wars of Bludhaven. He lost absolutely everything in the conflict with Spheric Solutions – a company secretly run by the Circus of Sin – and he’s deeply scarred by it all. Honestly, it’s terrifying to think someone with that kind of trauma now has Superman’s powers. I completely understand why the Justice League is so worried; Kryptonian abilities are incredibly dangerous in the wrong hands, and Bryce has clearly been through so much.
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.
