Despite their reputation for saving lives, even heroes sometimes have blood on their hands. The Justice League, known for its virtue and selflessness, has included some surprisingly deadly members. We’re counting the deaths caused by seven of the League’s heroes, but excluding those who were villains before, like Lex Luthor or Black Adam – that wouldn’t be fair. Let’s take a look at who caused the most damage.
The actor who played Speed Racer recently revealed that the movie’s poor performance in theaters was a huge disappointment for everyone involved. He explained that the filmmakers, particularly the Wachowskis, were enthusiastic about the film and had planned several sequels to expand the story. He said there was a real sense of sadness when the movie was critically panned and failed to attract an audience. Personally, he felt like his career trajectory had drastically changed because he’d mentally prepared to film multiple sequels over the next decade, and now he was facing an uncertain future.
It wasn’t unexpected that Soldier Boy didn’t appear in the finale of The Boys, as showrunner Eric Kripke had previously announced his absence, disappointing many fans. Homelander had frozen him again in the episode before, and since only Homelander knew about it, and the Boys believed Soldier Boy was allied with his son, neither side had a reason to include him in the final fight – or enough time to do so.
The 1994 movie Stargate featured Colonel Jack O’Neil, played by Kurt Russell, as the leader of the expedition. When the Air Force revived the program as the TV series Stargate SG-1, the role was taken over by Richard Dean Anderson, who spelled the name slightly differently – Colonel Jack O’Neill, with two “L”s. This change is even addressed as a joke within the show itself. Although the series treats the two characters as distinct, the switch happened simply because Kurt Russell chose not to reprise his role for the television series.
Tsuyoshi Takaki’s manga series, Black Torch, was first published in Shueisha’s Jump Square and Jump+ from 2016 to 2018, but it didn’t gain much popularity at the time. The story was relatively short, spanning just five volumes. Now, with a new anime series premiering this summer, Black Torch is poised to reach a wider audience. Fans will even get a sneak peek at the anime with a special world premiere event at Anime Expo 2026 before its official release.
Nathan Fillion has announced that a new animated Firefly series is in the works, with most of the original actors returning. Because the movie Serenity changed things by killing off characters like Wash and Shepherd Book, the animated show will take place between the original TV series and the movie. This means the creators have a lot to consider – they need to stay true to the original show, the existing comics and books, and the events of the movie. Even if they ignore the extra material, it will be difficult to create suspense since fans already know how the story ends. However, another popular sci-fi show has already successfully used this same approach.
The main draw of this game is its connection to the popular Titanfall series, especially the inclusion of mechs. These powerful machines appear on the Freehold maps and are equipped with strong weapons, a lot of health, and special abilities. So far, only one mech has been shown, but the goal is to capture one and use it to dominate the battlefield.
Animator Craig McCracken recently shared a new Instagram post featuring Professor Utonium from The Powerpuff Girls and Mr. Harriman from Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends, both characters voiced by the late Tom Kane. In the post, McCracken reminisced about first hearing Kane’s voice 29 years ago during an audition. He described being immediately impressed by Kane’s deep, warm, and humorous delivery, recalling a funny moment when Kane reacted enthusiastically to a mention of the Blue Meanies, confirming to McCracken that he was a truly special talent. The new artwork is included in the post.
This summer, Masters of the Universe is making a comeback, and it’s expected to please both longtime fans and attract new ones. The filmmakers, like those who created the original, are already thinking about the future of the franchise. In a recent interview with ComicBook, director Travis Knight and stars Nicholas Galitzine (He-Man) and Camila Mendes (Teela) shared their enthusiasm for a potential sequel to the film.
