Next week is a big one for fans, with two new shows premiering! Star Trek: Starfleet Academy arrives on January 15th, and just three days later, on January 18th, HBO releases A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, a new series set in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire. Both shows have generated a lot of excitement and discussion, and now fans will finally get to see if they live up to the hype.
Sometimes, a villain’s scheme in a Marvel story feels so over-the-top that it’s hard to believe anyone would fall for it. But surprisingly, these plans often succeed. Whether it’s altering reality, destroying everything for a romantic reason, or simply proving their superiority, these villains demonstrate that unchecked ambition and pride can ultimately lead to their downfall.
The highly anticipated second season of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End is almost here! A special premiere event was held in Japan, and now fans worldwide can get a sneak peek with the release of the final trailer. The trailer features the new opening theme song, “lulu,” performed by MRS. GREEN APPLE. You can watch the trailer below!
It’s surprising to think that Tears of the Kingdom could have been even bigger, but the developers say a lot of content was actually cut. Enough material from one side story ended up being substantial enough to become the main story for a completely separate game, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, which focuses more on action. The developers believe this was a good call, and the success of both games seems to prove them right.
The Batman: Arkham series is highly regarded, with Arkham Asylum and Arkham City receiving widespread acclaim. Arkham Knight sparked more debate among fans, but one game often overlooked is the fantastic Arkham Origins. Though it had some problems when it first came out, it ultimately became a great game that didn’t get the attention it deserved. Now, INART, known for their quality work, has unveiled a new Batman action figure based on Arkham Origins, and it looks incredible.
Get ready for the new season of Bridgerton by watching these three shows! They all have what makes Bridgerton great – romance, competition, beautiful historical settings, and characters you won’t forget. Check them out now!
Chukwudi Iwuji is the standout star, and you might recognize him from shows like Play Dirty on Prime Video and The Day of the Jackal on Peacock. He’s currently featured in The Girl Who Got Away, which is a huge success on Netflix. Let’s take a look at what’s making it so popular.
A new character set to appear is Steve Rogers’ son. The first trailer for Avengers: Doomsday confirmed Chris Evans’ return, showing Rogers in an alternate reality with his and Peggy Carter’s (Hayley Atwell) baby. While Steve Rogers has had multiple children throughout Marvel Comics – including with characters like Sharon Carter, Rogue, and even the Scarlet Witch – if the child in Doomsday is named James Rogers, it could hint at the formation of a new generation of Avengers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
As a lifelong Marvel fan and movie buff, I’m really excited to see Yahya Abdul-Mateen II play Wonder Man in the upcoming Disney+ series. But before the show drops in 2026, I thought it would be fun to share some background on the character that even casual Marvel fans might not know. He’s got a surprisingly rich history in the comics!
In a recent interview with GamerBraves, he explained that the team, including creative director Tetsuya Nomura and producer Yoshinori Kitase, didn’t just want to recreate the original game. They aimed to craft a story that incorporates elements from the spin-off titles and the overall spirit of the Final Fantasy 7 universe, giving the entire experience a modern and revitalized feel.
