Movies

As a lifelong movie fan, I’ve seen how superhero films really took off, and it wasn’t an overnight thing. So many talented people – the studios, directors, actors, everyone involved – kept pushing what was possible with the genre. Films like Tim Burton’s Batman, Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man, and Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight were huge in making these movies mainstream. Then, when Marvel started doing these massive crossover events like The Avengers and Avengers: Endgame, it changed how blockbusters were made. But if I had to pick one year that really stands out as a turning point, there’s one that’s more important than all the others.

The story continued in Justice League Red #6, written by Saladin Ahmed and illustrated by Clayton Henry. The series focused on a special team assembled by the robot hero Red Tornado. Their mission was to secretly prevent future crises. Red Tornado created the team because his physical body was destroyed during the ‘Absolute Power’ event, leaving him as a holographic projection stuck at the Justice League Watchtower, and needing a team to act for him in the field.

With the cancellation of The Acolyte, fans worried they wouldn’t find out more about the mysterious character known as the Stranger, or how he related to the brief appearance of Darth Plagueis. Even though The Acolyte sparked a lot of debate and wasn’t popular with everyone, the Stranger was a character that most viewers enjoyed and wanted to see more of in a potential second season.

Voice actor Neil Kaplan, known for his work on anime like Attack on Titan (as Theo Magath) and Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War (as Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto), has expressed interest in taking on a new role.

To fix problems with recent releases in the Multiverse Saga, the company slowed down production. This seems to be helping the new Marvel TV shows, and one key reason for their success is the return of a familiar face.

The new seven-part HBO series, DTF St. Louis, premieres on March 1st and centers around a complicated love triangle between three adults. The story takes a dark turn when one of them dies, and a recently released trailer hints at this shocking event – specifically, the death of David Harbour’s character.

Recently, Entertainment Tonight caught up with the King of Queens alum in a video shared to the outlet’s official Instagram, pressing him to finally set the record straight about the nearly 30 TikToks he’s appeared in, allegedly, fully in character. Unsurprisingly, James leaned all the way in on the bit, responding:

Undertone is a minimalist horror film with just two actors, relying heavily on sound design to create its scares. This works well because it encourages viewers to use their imaginations, making that a key part of the experience. Director Tuason deliberately leaves things to the audience’s interpretation – a lingering shot of an empty staircase or a demonic voice – prompting us to fill in the blanks and imagine what might be there. In essence, the film lets us co-create the terrifying scenarios that unfold in our minds.

The future of the Saw movies is currently uncertain. After Saw X didn’t do as well as hoped at the box office, plans for Saw XI were canceled. This led Lionsgate to step away from the franchise, with Blumhouse taking over. Jason Blum, the head of Blumhouse, has expressed interest in bringing James Wan back to the series. Wan recently discussed the possibility of future Saw films with Letterboxd, and while he didn’t share any concrete details, he suggested he’d like to see a new movie recapture the feel of the original.

Six actors have won Oscars for their roles in thrilling and scary movies, and another could join that group after the upcoming awards ceremony. But before we find out on March 15, 2026, let’s consider: which horror movie performance truly deserved the Oscar the most?
