In the comics, Vanessa passed away due to an illness, but even then, Wilson Fisk was left to deal with the consequences of his criminal life. Things became even more complicated when The Hand brought her back to life, though she ultimately died again – a separate issue entirely.
As a lifelong Star Trek fan, I have to admit I was surprised by this news! It feels like just yesterday that Discovery launched, and since then we’ve gotten so much new Trek – Short Treks, Picard, the animated Lower Decks and Prodigy, Strange New Worlds, and even Starfleet Academy. It’s amazing to think that if Discovery hadn’t changed from its initial plan as an anthology series, we might not have gotten any of those shows at all!
New footage from Dune: Part Two, shared by The Hollywood Reporter, opens with a fierce battle led by Stilgar (Javier Bardem). The trailer then shows a resurrected Duncan Idaho (Jason Momoa) confronting Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet), saying, “You’ve conquered the galaxy and destroyed countless worlds… I don’t think you can be saved.” We also see Chani ask Paul, “What’s it like to be as vulnerable as the rest of us?”

It’s hard to believe now, but when Escape from New York came out in 1981, nobody thought of Kurt Russell as a tough guy! Most of us remembered him as that funny actor from Disney movies like The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes. But playing Snake Plissken totally changed things for him, and it paved the way for some amazing roles in films like The Thing. It really launched his career into a whole new level.
Next year, Warner Bros. will release a new movie called The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum in U.S. cinemas. Andy Serkis, famous for playing Gollum in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit films, is directing the movie and will return as the character of Gollum.
According to reports, ABC intends to bring back all of its current scripted TV shows. This includes Shifting Gears, which was the only returning series on the network without a confirmed renewal – but it now seems the show will get a third season. An official announcement from ABC is expected soon.
The movie, called ‘Digger,’ features Tom Cruise looking drastically different with a Southern accent, a bit of a belly, and a receding hairline covered by a comb-over.
