While promoting his new film, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, director Rob Verbinski shared his thoughts on the future of the Pirates franchise with ScreenRant, and his outlook wasn’t very encouraging.
I’m so excited! It looks like we’re finally getting more of Vision’s story! Apparently, Vision will be back in 2026 in a new show called VisionQuest. It’s being created by the same person who brought us WandaVision, and it’s going to pick up after the ending of that show, with Vision trying to figure things out after being brought back as White Vision with no memories. It sounds like it’s going to really connect to what happened in WandaVision, which is awesome!

Originally a Netflix film, The Foreigner is now available on Paramount+. The movie stars Jackie Chan alongside veteran actor Pierce Brosnan. Directed by Martin Campbell, who also directed Casino Royale and GoldenEye, The Foreigner tells the story of a man, played by Chan, who seeks revenge for his daughter after she is killed in a terrorist attack in the UK. Here’s what the movie is about:
The new Nintendo Switch 2 game, The Duskbloods, seems heavily inspired by Bloodborne, but honestly, I’m still obsessed with the original. I just really need to play Bloodborne again – it feels like something’s missing when I’m not. I don’t have much else going on, to be honest.
Jake Gyllenhaal has been a successful and adaptable actor for more than thirty years. He’s known for taking on diverse roles and consistently delivering strong performances. Despite his willingness to try new things, there appears to be one guiding principle he’s followed throughout his career.
Though he appeared to die in The Phantom Menace in 1999, the Clone Wars animated series showed that Maul actually survived being cut in half by Obi-Wan Kenobi. His survival was due to his strong will and the power of the dark side. He then became a significant enemy during the Clone Wars, eventually leading to the battle for Mandalore.
The franchise has only continued to grow since the original series debuted. Two spinoffs have been released, House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. The former has two seasons with a third on the way, and the first season of the latter just came out.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness explores three different universes: the main Marvel timeline (Earth-616), a universe ruled by the Illuminati (Earth-838), and a reality where Doctor Strange battles an evil version of himself influenced by a dangerous book. Interestingly, director Sam Raimi has revealed that they actually developed a fourth universe for the film that ultimately didn’t make the final cut.
I’ve been a big fan of James Nunn’s work for years! It’s amazing how much he’s done, starting with the totally independent ‘Sanitarium’. Even though ‘Alice’ never got a proper release, it’s thankfully up on YouTube, and I loved the crazy practical effects in ‘Roadkill’! He’s done some cool stuff with bigger names too, like Noel Clarke in ‘Storage 24’ and the spooky ‘The Other Side of the Down’. Then, of course, there’s ’47 Metres Down’ which was a massive hit – seriously gripping! He’s also really innovative, being the first to create a short-form series specifically for mobile phones with ‘When Evil Calls’. And the cast he’s worked with is incredible – Kaya Scodelario, Christina Hendricks, Mandy Moore… even Darren Day and, believe it or not, Uri Geller! It’s a really diverse range of projects.
