We didn’t include Wanda Maximoff on the list because, to our knowledge, she died at the end of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. While it would be unexpected, she might actually stay that way. However, the other heroes we’ve left out have no indication of returning – and some haven’t been seen in years.
As a huge fan of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, I know a lot of us have been hoping to see more development between Fern and Stark, and it’s so cool to hear the voice actors feel the same way! Kana Ichinose (Fern’s voice) and Chiaki Kobayashi (Stark’s voice) recently talked about the potential romance between their characters, and honestly, Ichinose perfectly captured what many of us are thinking – she quoted Sein, saying, “Let’s just go out and date already!!!” It’s really exciting to see them acknowledge the fans’ enthusiasm and their own excitement about this blossoming dynamic.
In the final moments of Born Again season one, Daredevil realizes he needs to build a team to take on Mayor Fisk and his task force designed to stop vigilantes. Fisk has already rounded up many of New York’s heroes and locked them up, including The Punisher. It seems likely that rescuing these captured heroes will be a key focus of season two, and the initial trailer suggests just that.
Tom Cannon, the executive producer of 2XKO, shared a heartfelt message explaining that while the game’s release on consoles pleased its dedicated fans, it didn’t generate enough ongoing interest to support the team working on it long-term.
The movie Rogue Agent tells the story of Robert Freegard (played by James Norton), a master con artist who pretends to be a secret MI5 agent. He manipulates and holds many people captive while evading capture. His elaborate scheme ultimately unravels when a woman he’s involved with (Gemma Arterton) exposes him. The film is as unbelievable as the true story it’s based on, and while it doesn’t quite capture all the tension of the real events, it’s still a very entertaining watch.
Today marks the 22nd anniversary of Metroid: Zero Mission, a remake of the original Metroid game for the Game Boy Advance. While it’s a highly-rated game, many fans actually consider Metroid Fusion, released in 2002, to be the better Game Boy Advance title. Metroid Fusion is often ranked among the top three best games on the system, alongside Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past & Four Swords.
I was pretty shocked to read on Riot’s website today that they’re significantly reducing the team working on 2XKO. Apparently, Tom Cannon, the executive producer, said they’ve been looking at how players are actually using the game since launch and noticed some concerning patterns. It’s tough, but some of the developers might get to move into other roles at Riot, and those who are being laid off will at least get six months of severance. Cannon seems to think this will actually help 2XKO in the long run, which I’m hoping is true.
The new ending theme is quickly becoming a fan favorite, and a full music video has just been released featuring scenes from the latest season. The video showcases all the characters who’ve appeared so far—not just the main ones—and emphasizes the connections between Frieren’s current and past companions as they overcome obstacles on their journey. The song’s CD will be available on March 4th, 2026, and you can already pre-order it on Amazon Japan, which will include the new music video as a bonus.
Tolkien Black first appeared in the very first episode of South Park alongside the other kids. Over time, he’s become a more significant part of the group dynamic with Stan, Cartman, and the others, receiving more screen time. In an episode that aired four years ago today, February 9, 2022, South Park revealed his full name to be “Tolkien Black” – a backstory change that fans widely accepted.
As a huge cinema fan, I’ve always felt that horror and science fiction just go together. Sci-fi often presents these really unsettling ideas, but horror is what makes them truly frightening – it makes you feel that dread in your gut. It takes those abstract, thought-provoking concepts and turns them into real, physical reactions – fear, disgust, anxiety. When these genres combine, it’s like a perfect storm. Technology feels like an invasion, science becomes something you can’t trust, and even discovery can be deeply traumatizing. It’s a kind of filmmaking that really uses your imagination against you, turning things like labs, spaceships, and even the human body into sources of pure, existential terror.
