While Smaug and Toothless are famous dragons, they don’t tell the whole story. Dragons have appeared in movies for decades before them, and have represented many different things throughout fantasy filmmaking. In Western medieval stories, dragons were usually seen as dangerous obstacles for heroes to overcome. However, in East Asian tales, they were often considered lucky, god-like figures. Fantasy films have used both of these ideas, creating dragons that are tricksters, powerful spirits, symbols of family history, and even representations of new technology.

Riz Ahmed’s series, BAIT, follows Shah Latif, an actor in London, as his life unravels after auditioning for the iconic role of James Bond. The show is a funny, sharp, and self-aware exploration of the pressures of staying relevant, particularly for people of color, and brilliantly examines themes of race and cultural identity.

After the huge success of The Hunger Games, everyone was eager to turn another one of Stephenie Meyer’s books into a big movie series. That’s how, right as The Twilight movies were finishing up, we got The Host in 2013. It was based on her 2008 novel, and starred Saoirse Ronan as Melanie, a teenager fighting for her life – and the world’s! Basically, an alien is trying to take over her mind, and she has to stop it, along with the rest of the alien race, from taking over the planet. It was a really exciting story!

Mattel recently announced a lot of new toys and products based on Masters of the Universe, but some characters hadn’t appeared in the action figure reveals… until now! A new Masters of the Universe version of the UNO card game has given fans a closer look at the Sorceress, Mekaneck, and Tri-Klops. All three figures clearly draw inspiration from their original designs. However, Skeletor might be the most exciting reveal, as he’s shown holding the Sword of Power, potentially giving us a clue about the final battle in the upcoming movie.

As a huge fan of Andy Weir – I absolutely loved Project Hail Mary, and I think it’s going to be remembered as one of the best sci-fi books of the last ten years – I was really bummed to hear some news he shared recently. He was talking about the movie release on a podcast and mentioned he actually tried to create a Star Trek show. Sadly, Kurtzman and Paramount passed on his pitch, which is honestly pretty frustrating to hear!

After The Mandalorian Season 3 ended in spring 2023, many fans expected Din Djarin and Grogu to return in a fourth season of the popular show. However, they’re now starring in a new Star Wars movie – the first in almost seven years. This raises the question: why a movie instead of Season 4, and will their story continue as a TV series in the future?

The anime adaptation of Koji Miura’s Blue Box premiered last winter and was quickly renewed for a second season. A new trailer and poster for Blue Box Season 2 were revealed at AnimeJapan 2026, giving fans the best look yet at what’s to come. The series is confirmed to be released on Netflix this fall and hints at major events for the character Chinatsu.
