The main Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline happens on Earth-616, but the Fantastic Four will be coming from Earth-828. The situation with the X-Men is more complicated. Even though the X-Men characters appearing in Avengers: Doomsday will be played by the same actors who played them in the previous Fox films, it’s not entirely clear where they fit into the broader MCU timeline.
Both Ben-Hur and the classic film All the President’s Men are coming to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray and digital platforms like Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play, and Fandango at Home on February 17th. Warner Bros. Discovery will release both films in 4K on the same day.

The upcoming show aims to capture the same atmosphere as the original game, which is set far in the future and features humans fighting both alien invaders and supernatural beings. The game itself, similar to other miniature wargames, involves players recreating battles with toy figures and vehicles.

There are also two video game adaptations available on PlayStation, Windows, and Xbox, played from a third-person perspective.

I’m so excited about the new One Piece spinoff anime! It’s airing as part of Fuji Television’s “Mezamashi TV,” which is a really popular morning show in Japan. It actually started on January 4th, 2026, and it’s broken up into two cool parts. First, there’s “Chopper’s Days,” where we get to see Chopper having all sorts of adorable little adventures in a totally animated world. Then, “Chopper’s Journey” shows him traveling around and exploring different places in present-day Japan – it sounds amazing!
