The new anime is scheduled to premiere in Japan in December of next year, but a release date for other countries hasn’t been announced yet. Fans are thrilled about what’s coming next, as the story is becoming increasingly captivating. The first two seasons covered the first four volumes of the original light novel series, and Season 3 will start with Volume 5, following Jinshi and Maomao as they team up to investigate strange events. Details about the plot of the upcoming movie are still unknown. As excitement builds, the voice actors for Maomao and Jinshi have been sharing their expectations.

Eleven major villains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe have children, and surprisingly, many of those kids – even the ones who’ve become heroes or villains themselves – probably wish they had different families. These villains have been part of the MCU for a long time, appearing in films as early as the first Iron Man in 2008 and as recently as Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man in 2025. Despite some being incredibly powerful – even the most powerful characters in the MCU – that doesn’t make them good parents.

The show Futurama quickly establishes that Christmas has drastically changed in the future. Now known as “XMas,” the holiday is a much more somber occasion, reflecting the world’s advancements in robotics and science. Looking back at the Futurama episodes centered around XMas, it’s clear the show offers some surprisingly insightful moments.

As a lifelong fan, I’ve always been fascinated by the mutants who don’t join the X-Men. There are so many reasons why they choose different paths. Some are fiercely dedicated to their nations or existing teams and just don’t want to switch allegiances. Others are total loners, preferring to avoid the whole human/mutant conflict. But it’s kind of amazing when you think about it: these mutants choosing to live among humans, instead of isolating themselves at the Xavier Institute or on Krakoa, actually shows us that peaceful coexistence is possible. They’re living proof, really, that humans and mutants can get along.

This Iron Man figure might remind you of sad moments from Avengers: Endgame, but this version is all about love! It features a unique pink armor design with a heart theme, and includes extra hands, blast effects, and even a rose. The packaging is designed like a Valentine’s card, with space to write a sweet message – maybe even “I Love You 3000!” If you’re not quite ready for that level of commitment, you could try “I Think You’re Pretty Okay 30000” instead.

Xbox recently announced on social media that Gears of War: E-Day is still planned for release in 2026. Along with this update, they shared new artwork for the game featuring the Gears logo and the tagline “Emergence Begins.” This hints that E-Day will be a prequel, showing the very beginning of the war with the Locust – the event known as E-Day.

Here are five survival horror games that most players have forgotten.

Before modern superhero films, a solid base needed to be built. While Tim Burton’s Batman in 1989 helped establish that base, Richard Donner’s Superman from 1978 was even more important. Prior to those films, DC Comics had only been adapted into the Superman and the Mole Men television pilot and a comedic movie based on the Batman TV show.

Barbara Muschietti, an executive producer, recently discussed with ComicBook the upcoming portrayal of a truly frightening Pennywise, the reappearance of the character Rich, unexpected guest appearances, the possibility of exploring Derry’s family histories, and the introduction of a new Losers Club for future stories.

While many remakes are seen as just attempts to make money, some truly succeed when a new creative team brings a fresh perspective. History shows that revisiting established stories can be amazing if the creators have a clear and compelling vision for why they’re doing it. Sometimes, a good idea just needs updated technology or a better understanding of current social issues to really shine. Other times, changing the genre can reveal deeper layers to the story. The following TV shows proved the doubters wrong, becoming the best versions of their original stories.
