Starting in 2022, Cartoon Network has been celebrating April Fool’s Day with a special event called “Acme Fools,” showcasing classic Looney Tunes characters like Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. From 2023 to 2025, this included nine-hour marathons of popular series such as The Looney Tunes Show, New Looney Tunes, Tiny Toons Looniversity, and Bugs Bunny Builders. Next month, Acme Fools is returning with many of these same shows, plus the addition of Duck Dodgers, an action-comedy series featuring Daffy and Porky as space explorers. Given the continued popularity of Looney Tunes, it’s a smart move for Cartoon Network to build on that success.

Lucasfilm has been successfully blending its existing characters in a way that both rewards longtime fans and introduces classic figures to new audiences. We can expect even more familiar faces in future projects. For example, the well-known character Rotta the Hutt will be featured in the upcoming The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, and rumors suggest the dangerous assassin Asajj Ventress will appear in season two of Ahsoka. Even without considering these upcoming appearances, many characters who first appeared in animated Star Wars series have already made the jump to live-action.

The new issue of Empire magazine offers a preview of Spider-Noir, revealing a deeply affected Ben Reilly. This version of Spider-Man, nicknamed ‘The Spider,’ is a world-weary, cynical private detective operating in 1930s New York. He’s depicted as someone who drinks, smokes, and isn’t afraid to use harsh language—but he still has superpowers. Like previous Spider-Men, he’s also dealing with a significant personal tragedy.

Indeed, searching for Highguard on PS Store now returns zero results.

Fans are understandably worried about the future of the show, as it was canceled once before back in 1989, though it did eventually return after 16 years. While BBC executives have repeatedly said they support Doctor Who, the current issue is money. The BBC is facing significant financial challenges, especially with ongoing talks about the TV license fee. However, there might be a new solution emerging.

After a long wait, a new Jumanji movie is finished filming! Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle—the 2017 sequel starring Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillan—was a huge hit and led to another sequel, and now a fourth film. Jack Black and Alex Wolff have both announced that production is complete. This new Jumanji movie will flip the script from the previous one, bringing the game’s world into our reality and letting the characters interact with real people.

This week, Xbox quietly removed all mentions of its “This Is an Xbox” campaign from its website. The company even deleted the original announcement of the slogan, suggesting they’ve decided to move away from it. It’s surprising, considering how heavily Xbox promoted the phrase just over a year ago – they even sold branded merchandise featuring it – that they’re now acting as if the campaign never happened.
