I absolutely adore the Despicable Me movies, and I’m a little sad to hear that the first two – the ones that started it all with Gru, his hilarious Minions, and his family – are leaving Netflix on April 1st. These films were huge hits – Despicable Me made over $544 million, and Despicable Me 2 even more at $970 million! They’re some of the most successful animated movies ever made. While it’s disappointing to see them go, at least we’ll still be able to enjoy Despicable Me 3, Minions: The Rise of Gru, and all the fun Minions & More shorts on Netflix. It’s still a great collection, even without the originals!

Elijah Wood is likely to return as Frodo Baggins, and Ian McKellan will reprise his role as Gandalf. Andy Serkis, who originally brought Gollum to life through voice acting and motion capture, is also expected to return. Kate Winslet’s role in the movie is currently unknown, sparking a lot of online discussion, and fans are also eager to find out who will play Aragorn, following Viggo Mortensen’s iconic performance. Here are three strong candidates for the part of Winslet, based on current speculation.

The Switch 2 also really needs strong exclusive games from Nintendo itself, and we know those often take time to develop – just ask Animal Crossing fans! But while we wait, it’s great to think about the amazing games made by other developers. If only a few could really make the Switch 2 a must-have console, I’d suggest these, especially since there’s currently no way to play Baldur’s Gate 3 on Nintendo systems.

As I was going through this list, movies like Men in Black, Jurassic Park, The Matrix, Alien, and Back to the Future immediately sprang to mind, and I’m so glad the creators felt the same way! They’ve already recognized these as sci-fi classics. It was a tough call leaving out the original Star Wars trilogy, though. While the first film was groundbreaking, most fans actually consider The Empire Strikes Back the strongest. And Toy Story was a close call, too – Toy Story 3 really hit an emotional high point, even surpassing the original! But ultimately, this list focuses on those first entries in a series that really captured everyone’s hearts and imaginations, or both.

Disney is creating a live-action movie that reimagines the story of Cinderella, but this time, the focus isn’t on the princess. The film, called Stepsisters, will tell the story from the perspective of Cinderella’s stepsisters, Anastasia and Drizella. Akiva Schaffer, who directed Disney’s Chip n’ Dale: Rescue Rangers, is directing. The script was originally written by Michael Montemayor (Tangled) and is currently being revised by Dan Gregor and Doug Mand, known for their work on the upcoming The Naked Gun reboot.

Dark Outlaw Games was a PlayStation studio that didn’t get much public attention before it closed down. Sony officially announced the team in March 2025, with Michael Blundell mentioning he’d started it as a small, internal group within PlayStation Studios, operating quietly. When it was announced, there wasn’t a game to show off, no major presentation, and no clear plan for the future.

EverQuest Legends isn’t just an updated version of the original game, nor is it meant to completely replace the current live version. Early reports suggest it’s a fresh take on classic EverQuest, aiming to capture the original’s nostalgic charm while being more accessible for those who prefer to play alone or with a small group. It features the classic look and sound many remember, but also includes modern improvements to make the game less difficult and more enjoyable.

The series has made it clear that All Might is an incredibly important hero, but it hasn’t completely shown us how he became one. We’ve seen moments that reveal his character and values, and his struggles with injuries make him relatable. However, the spin-off series Vigilantes is currently demonstrating just how extraordinary All Might was in his prime. The latest episode portrays him as almost godlike – powerful, majestic, and a true savior for people.

Despite past disappointments with live-action remakes, Disney is still planning more. Confirmed projects include live-action versions of Moana and Tangled, and a sequel is in the works for the Lilo & Stitch remake. Whether these new films will be more successful remains to be seen, but it’s a positive sign, especially considering Disney has nine other projects that have been cancelled or put on hold.

Famke Janssen, later known for playing Jean Grey in the X-Men films, initially declined the role of Dax on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. She worried that being a regular on the TV show would hurt her chances of landing movie roles. According to the 2000 book Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion by Terry J. Erdmann and Paula M. Block, Janssen turned down the part before Terry Farrell was cast. While she considered it “a great opportunity,” Janssen was concerned about balancing the TV series with pursuing other film roles and characters.
