The success of Deadpool & Wolverine has unexpectedly opened the door for Hugh Jackman to continue playing Wolverine in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Although he hasn’t been officially announced for Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars, it’s highly probable that Wolverine and Deadpool will play a role in the upcoming multiversal storyline. Since the pair survived their movie but haven’t yet joined the main timeline, and Marvel is planning a franchise reboot, the possibilities are endless. Once Jackman’s Wolverine enters the main timeline, Marvel can draw upon decades of comic book storylines to create compelling conflicts and rivalries for the character.

The 2008 slasher film Prom Night, starring Brittany Snow, will soon be removed from Tubi. This remake of the classic 1980 film—the fifth and last in the Prom Night series—follows high schooler Donna Keppel as she’s stalked by a dangerous former teacher with a history of violence against her family, all while trying to enjoy her senior prom. Despite a modest $20 million budget, the movie was a box office success, earning over $57 million.

The project was likely canceled this week as part of the company’s major restructuring.

Okay, so a supposed leaked photo from the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day has everyone talking. It shows Sadie Sink standing next to Jon Bernthal’s Punisher, but there’s a catch – it’s got a Google Gemini watermark, which makes some people doubt if it’s even real. Regardless, it’s brought the speculation about Sink’s role right back to the surface. While a lot of fans still think she’s playing Jean Grey, the idea that she might actually be taking on the villain Typhoid Mary is gaining traction again. It’s definitely got the internet buzzing!

There’s a fantastic first-person shooter out there for every player, whether you enjoy huge, well-known games or something completely new. You can find hidden gems like open-world survival shooters similar to Far Cry that didn’t get enough attention, or brilliant Warhammer 40,000 games that were overlooked when they first came out. If you love action-packed gunplay and immersive single-player stories, these underrated FPS titles are perfect to play while you wait for the next big release.

The HBO comedy series Veep, created by Armando Iannucci, first aired on April 22, 2012. It was based on his earlier British show, The Thick of It, but set in American politics. Over seven seasons and 65 episodes, the show followed Selina Meyer (played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus) as she went from U.S. Senator to Vice President and, briefly, President. Veep cleverly revealed that gaining political power doesn’t necessarily mean gaining real influence. The show’s realistic style helped Julia Louis-Dreyfus win an unprecedented six consecutive Emmy Awards for her leading role. Nine years later, she joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, demonstrating the breadth of her acting talent with two very different political characters.

Despite some unevenness in its later seasons, Westworld still created some truly exceptional science fiction television episodes. A prime example is Season 2, Episode 8, “Kiksuya.” This episode uniquely shifted away from the show’s usual format and main storyline, dedicating almost an entire hour to exploring the inner world of a character who had previously been on the periphery. While it took a risk by deviating from the established formula, “Kiksuya” is arguably the most emotionally powerful episode of Westworld, achieving this by effectively blending the show’s complex backstory with meaningful character development.

Get ready, fans! My Hero Academia: In Concert is coming to North America later this year! The show will recreate the incredible music from the series, kicking off on September 12th and running until October 25th with a total of thirty-five performances. While the complete song list hasn’t been announced, you can expect to hear favorites like “You Say Run” and “You Can Be A Hero,” as the band aims to faithfully perform the work of composer Yuki Hayashi. Check the tour dates below to see if the concert is coming to a city near you!

Insider Gaming reports that Ubisoft is currently working on at least one more Assassin’s Creed remake. The specific game being remade isn’t known at this time. This remake is part of a larger plan for several more remakes Ubisoft may create in the future, depending on how well Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced performs. If Black Flag Resynced is successful, both critically and commercially, Ubisoft likely plans to release more remakes of older Assassin’s Creed titles.
