Before they were saving the world together as the Hulk and Iron Man, Mark Ruffalo and Robert Downey Jr. actually shared the screen in one of David Fincher’s finest films – the 2006 thriller Zodiac. It’s a genuinely chilling and gripping true-crime story, based on the infamous hunt for the Zodiac Killer. The movie focuses on Jake Gyllenhaal as a cartoonist consumed by the case, alongside Ruffalo as a determined inspector and Downey Jr. as a quick-witted journalist. Their paths all converge as they desperately try to unmask the killer, and it’s fascinating to see their dynamic before the Marvel universe brought them together.

Few Disney films have maintained such a dedicated fanbase over the last thirty years. Released in 1993, The Nightmare Before Christmas quickly became a beloved classic, introducing characters like Jack Skellington, Sally, and Oogie Boogie, and continues to be a prominent part of Disney’s style. Every year, these characters transform Disney parks during the Halloween season, leaving fans wanting to explore more of Halloween Town. While the original film surprisingly led to manga adaptations that expanded Jack’s story, a brand new stop-motion movie would undoubtedly be a huge event in the entertainment world.

It’s always disappointing when a good TV show ends, but most shows eventually reach a conclusion, either planned or unexpected. Several popular shows are confirmed to be finishing up in 2026, marking the end of their run. While each of these shows has been enjoyable, 2026 will be their final year.

To mark the 30th anniversary of Metal Slug, the series is being revived with several new projects, including brand new games, according to the official website.

In Superman Unlimited #11, the older Jon Kent battled the villain Master Txyz in a timeless dimension. Facing the realization that he hadn’t made a significant mark as Superman, Jon embraced a new heroic identity as Tomorrow Man. After defeating Master Txyz, Jon received a gift: his younger self, before his imprisonment on Earth-3 and the events that rapidly aged him. Superman Unlimited #12 explores the consequences of this major change to Jon’s history. Now that the original Jon Kent is back, the story focuses on what will become of the older Jon, who has been a presence in the DC Universe for seven years.

From April 6th to 12th, the movie Thrash was the most popular film on Netflix worldwide. It was viewed 37.7 million times and watched for a total of 54 million hours.

It’s impressive to consider just how many covers Mora has created! Over the years he’s worked with DC Comics, he’s produced a huge number of both main covers and variant editions.

The action thriller Mercury Rising became available on Prime Video on April 1st and is a good choice for fans of the genre and Bruce Willis. The film, directed by Harold Becker and adapted from Ryne Douglas Pearson’s 1996 novel Simply Simon, features Willis as Art Jeffries, an FBI agent who goes off-book to protect a 9-year-old boy with autism. The boy becomes a target of a shadowy group within the NSA after cracking a highly classified code. Despite its exciting premise, the movie received mostly negative reviews and wasn’t a commercial success, earning only $93 million worldwide on a $60 million budget.

Released in 2002, Blinx: The Time Sweeper was a unique platformer famously marketed as the “World’s First 4-D Action Game.” Players control Blinx, a cat on a mission to save the world and a princess. He uses a special vacuum cleaner, the TS-1000, to manipulate time – slowing it down, speeding it up, recording, reversing, or even stopping it altogether. Despite having a memorable character, solid gameplay, and a lot of potential, the series only got one sequel, Blinx 2: Masters of Time and Space, in 2004. The Blinx franchise disappeared after that, but it would be a great candidate for a modern remake.

A player recently shared a neat discovery on the game’s Reddit page: after playing for over 110 hours, they found that double-tapping the button to sheath your weapon triggers a special animation when using a one-handed sword and shield. You can check it out below!
