The success of the new Harry Potter series is uncertain, but a key factor will be how well it distinguishes itself from the existing movies. One way to do this is by more closely following the books, and the first season could start by reintroducing a character who was left out of Sorcerer’s Stone. Luckily, the show has confirmed it will do just that. The challenge now is finding the right actor for this role, as it will be a tough one to get right.

DC Comics has been reimagining many of its iconic characters, and that trend continued in Absolute Wonder Woman. Issue #16 introduced a new version of the Suicide Squad, assembled by Veronica Cale to defeat Wonder Woman. The team, led by Zatanna, included familiar Wonder Woman foes like Cheetah, Doctor Poison, and Giganta. However, the most surprising reveal was a subtle one: Starro the Conqueror has secretly been part of the Absolute Universe for a while now.

Throughout much of the story, Gojo Satoru was the most powerful sorcerer, but he was still restricted by the strict rules and leadership of the Jujutsu world. These leaders often made decisions Gojo disagreed with and exerted their control over sorcerers. This conflict became especially clear during the Hidden Inventory arc, where Gojo directly expressed his wish to remove them from power. Even after he was trapped, they blamed him for the Shibuya Incident, falsely accusing him of being a key player. Gojo had strong motivations to go against them, but he didn’t get the chance. That’s why it’s so rewarding to see Dabura, facing a similar situation, accomplish what Gojo couldn’t before the story ends.

Most modern supervillains are created specifically to fit the story they first appear in, whether it’s a larger story arc or an entire series. While this can create strong emotional connections with readers, it often makes it difficult to use those villains in future stories. If a villain’s entire character arc is resolved in their introduction, there’s not much left for them to do later on. However, the recent issue of Detective Comics #1106 introduced a new villain, the Lion, who avoids this problem. He’s designed to be more than just a one-off character.

The hammer belongs to Amy Rose, a popular character from the Sonic games. At the end of Sonic 3, a sneak peek of the next movie showed Sonic being attacked by Metal Sonic robots. Just when it looked like Sonic was defeated, a mysterious figure with a hammer jumped in and destroyed the robots. This figure turned out to be Amy Rose, and now she’s officially joining the movie series in Sonic 4, with Kristen Bell (The Good Place) providing her voice.

The Borg are consistently ranked among the greatest villains in Star Trek, and since their first appearance in The Next Generation, their goal of forced assimilation has always clashed with the Federation’s values. You’ve probably heard their famous line, “Resistance is futile.” However, even though the Borg are incredibly frightening, they aren’t the only memorable villains the series has given us. Throughout The Original Series, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and other installments, Star Trek has created a fantastic collection of antagonists. Here are seven of the scariest, excluding the Borg.

For the past few months, everyone’s been talking mostly about returning anime series – and it makes sense, as many of them are nearing their final episodes. Since these shows are wrapping up soon, here’s a rundown of five major anime finales to watch for this March.

I’m optimistic about 2026 because it looks like the action genre is about to get a lot more creative and diverse. Developers are moving beyond just one style of combat and are focusing on things like deeper stories, more ways to move around, richer worlds, and more complex character skills. What’s really exciting is that these new games aren’t trying to copy the popular “souls-like” style. They’re aiming for faster, more fluid gameplay with more player freedom, and action systems that feel unique instead of imitative. After years of similar games, it’s great to see the genre evolving and trying new things.

Director Flanagan has assembled a strong cast, and according to Deadline, he’s added Sasha Calle, known for her role in The Flash, to the project. While her specific part hasn’t been revealed, details about the movie’s overall story are also being kept under wraps. The only confirmed information is that this film won’t be a direct continuation of The Exorcist: Believer.

Showrunner Jess Brownell was thrilled to discuss the recent twist, especially because it was created just for the show and wasn’t part of the original books. As she explained on Bridgerton: The Official Podcast (via Tudum), the identity of Whistledown was already known from the books, so they couldn’t keep that reveal a mystery for long. Now, however, they can surprise viewers with unexpected developments. Brownell also highlighted that this new direction allows them to explore female empowerment in a more meaningful way. She noted that the historical period offered women limited choices and control, making it powerful to showcase women who actively sought to improve their circumstances and broaden the scope of female experiences within the show.
