Christopher Nolan recently told Empire magazine about the effort his team put into realistically portraying the long sea journey in his latest film. He wanted the voyage – and the characters’ appearances, including their beards – to feel authentic. Nolan explained he prefers using real hair over wigs or fake beards because it allows for more convincing action and practical effects. “You want the physicality of real hair,” he said, “so you can put a firehose on the guy and do all the things we need him to do.”

Here are just 10 first-person shooters worth keeping an eye on in 2026. 

The recent announcement of a new Mega Man game is particularly noteworthy. Set to release in 2027 and playable on both older and current consoles, it’s coming at an interesting time for the gaming industry. By 2027, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S will likely be nearing the end of their lifespan. This timing could also mean the game will be one of the first available on the next generation of Xbox and PlayStation consoles – a rare opportunity in today’s gaming landscape.

Two games are leaving Xbox Game Pass on December 31st: Carrion and Hell Let Loose. Carrion is a unique horror platformer where you play as the monster, escaping from the scientists and soldiers who imprisoned it. Think of it like the movie The Thing, but you’re controlling the creature instead of the humans.

Batman is not only one of the world’s most popular superheroes, but also a consistently profitable movie star. Films featuring the Dark Knight almost always earn a lot of money for studios, even when they aren’t well-received – a prime example being the often-criticized 1997 film, Batman & Robin. However, there’s one Batman movie that didn’t perform as well financially, and it recently turned 32.

We’ve only scratched the surface of great science fiction stories that haven’t been adapted for the screen. After previously highlighting seven fantastic unadapted books, here are seven more exceptional reads with strong cinematic potential that would make amazing movies or TV shows.

Batman is famous for his rogues’ gallery of villains, and while many are men, several powerful women also challenge the Dark Knight. This list highlights seven of the best female villains he’s faced. Some of these characters have switched between being heroes and villains, but they all started as antagonists, which is all that matters for this ranking. Let’s take a look at Batman’s most notable female villains.

While it’s easy to buy cryptocurrency with a credit card, it’s riskier than using a debit card or bank transfer. Credit card companies treat these purchases differently – some allow them, others block them, and automatic fraud checks can sometimes wrongly decline legitimate transactions. Even if the purchase goes through, it might be treated as a cash advance, which means you’ll pay a fee and a higher interest rate right away, without any grace period or rewards. Many new investors wonder if they can buy Bitcoin with a credit card without incurring high interest charges or being hit with cash advance fees.

Although many new movies have come out since then and are likely to receive more award nominations, none have had quite the same impact as KPop Demon Hunters. For a lot of people, it’s the clear frontrunner for best film of the year, and there’s been a lot of discussion about why. The music played a huge role in its success, and fans have been debating which song is the best ever since its release. Now that I’m convinced it’s the year’s best, I’m sharing my opinion.

“The Christmas Invasion” is important not only for the story itself, but also because it lays the groundwork for the show Torchwood. At the story’s end, Prime Minister Harriet Jones, who the Doctor had previously praised, authorized Earth’s defenses to fire upon the retreating Sycorax ship. While the Doctor was upset – the Sycorax were already defeated – Harriet Jones argued her actions were justified. Looking back after 19 years, it’s clear she was right.
