As a longtime comic book and movie fan, I’ve been thinking about the X-Men who really made a splash in each decade. These are the characters who weren’t just introduced, but who truly helped build the team’s legend and popularity – the ones we still talk about today. It’s fascinating to look back and see how the team evolved thanks to these key mutants.
Steven Yeun, known for voicing the main character in Invincible, was initially cast as the Sentry in the upcoming Thunderbolts movie. This would have reunited him with director Jake Schreier, who previously directed him in Beef. Unfortunately, scheduling conflicts led to a change in casting. However, Yeun told MovieWeb he’s not upset about it, genuinely enjoys the Thunderbolts project, and remains open to joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the future. He said, “I did see it. I love Jake, Jake Schreier, incredible human director… I did see it and I never say never. I’m around.”
Rumors suggest that Resident Evil 10 is currently being made, potentially releasing around 2029. However, that timeline depends on development going smoothly, and it could be delayed to 2031 or later – as is common in game development.
The first season of the new Scrubs series brings back most of the original cast, including J.D., Elliot, Turk, and Carla. However, Ken Jenkins, who played Bob Kelso, isn’t appearing this season. When a fan asked creator Bill Lawrence about Kelso’s potential return on X, Lawrence said they’ll try to get him involved if the show gets renewed, adding that they “love him” and hope to feature him in a potential season 2, despite his age. While fans won’t see Kelso this season, there’s still a chance he could return in the future.
The new movie Hoppers, a really good sci-fi film about the environment, includes several familiar nods to other Pixar films. You can spot the Pizza Planet truck when Mabel tries to rescue the animals from school – even a tortoise named Crush, a tribute to the character from Finding Nemo – and Dr. Sam’s lab is room A113. It’s a shame John Ratzenberger didn’t make a cameo this time around, but the movie is still full of Easter eggs. One reference, in particular, seems like strong evidence supporting the popular Pixar Theory. WARNING: Spoilers ahead for Hoppers.
Mike Colter, the actor who played Luke Cage, recently hinted at a return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. During an interview on the Inside of You podcast with Michael Rosenbaum, Colter revealed he’s been talking with Marvel about bringing Luke Cage back, and believes it’s likely to happen, potentially as part of the Daredevil: Born Again series. He expressed openness to exploring new directions for the character, saying he’s willing to consider ideas different from his previous portrayal.
The live-action adaptation of One Piece is getting a second season on Netflix this week, and a third is already being filmed. This has fans curious about how long the show could run, given the sheer size of Eiichiro Oda’s original manga. According to Mackenyu, who plays Roronoa Zoro, Oda actually has a plan for the series’ overall length and knows which story arc will serve as its finale, as he shared with The Movie Podcast.
I recently got to play Homura Hime, the new indie game from Crimson Dusk and Playism, and I can totally see why it’s getting such good reviews on Steam! It’s got this really cool 3D anime style, and the world is packed with demons. You play as Homura Hime, a powerful exorcist, and your job is to take down the biggest, baddest demons to save the world. It’s a fast-paced action game – you’ll be pulling off crazy combos, dodging tons of bullets in bullet-hell sections, and even doing a little platforming. It’s seriously addictive!
While the story has been progressing, many fans hoped to see Usopp finally start working towards his dream of becoming a brave warrior in the Elbaph arc, as he greatly admires the giants. Unfortunately, nothing has happened for his character so far. Instead, the most recent chapter surprisingly gave Franky, the Straw Hats’ shipwright, a significant power boost, making him a powerful fighter on par with Jinbe.
