With Iron Man and Thor’s stories evolving and the future of the Avengers uncertain, here’s a look at 10 heroes who could lead the Marvel Cinematic Universe forward.

Players of the original game might recall a strong story that wasn’t quite matched by the gameplay. Now, after a major overhaul and the release of the Phantom Liberty expansion, it’s become the studio’s biggest success, selling over 35 million copies. Getting there wasn’t easy, and involved some tough lessons. What were the most important things the developers learned along the way?

This latest Unearthed Arcana release kicks off 2026 with four new character options called “Mystic Subclasses.” These subclasses explore unique ways to use magic, which is great news for players who enjoy spellcasting classes. You can find the playtest materials for all four classes on D&D Beyond now. The survey to share your feedback will open on January 22nd, giving you time to try them out first.

The Star Trek universe is currently experiencing a fascinating shift. After a devastating event called the Burn, the Federation had withdrawn from widespread galactic involvement, becoming a smaller, more localized power. Now, thanks to the USS Discovery uncovering the cause of the Burn and preventing it from happening again, the Federation is working to regain its former influence and rebuild alliances. This rebuilding effort is leading to significant changes, and in the second episode of Starfleet Academy, we see the most dramatic one yet.

But, well, it’s not looking likely, is it?

The anime My Hero Academia finished its run with its eighth and final season in fall 2025, and its conclusion was a moving event for many fans. As a major series from Shonen Jump and one of the last of its kind, My Hero Academia consistently broke viewership records and became a highlight of 2025. Recently, it received further recognition at an anime awards show in South Korea, being named Anime of the Year – a particularly impressive win given the popularity of the Korean series Solo Leveling.

First launched on September 24, 1997, Ultima Online quickly became a leading massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). Set within the Ultima universe, the game has been consistently updated with eight expansions, free content, and other improvements, keeping it fresh for over two decades. A major graphical overhaul with a new game engine in 2007 helped maintain its appeal, and it continues to be actively played today. You can even play Ultima Online for free directly from its website.

Successful sci-fi movies often launch long-running franchises, but not all of them do. Sometimes, a poorly received or unsuccessful sci-fi film can actually end a franchise. In the worst cases, a movie can kill a planned series before it even gets off the ground, preventing any sequels from being made. Unfortunately, some sci-fi films are so bad they completely destroy any chance of a franchise continuing.
