As of today, Spider-Man: Homecoming is the 8th most popular movie on Disney+ in the US, recently joining the platform’s top movies. This made me think it would be a good time to revisit some of the best films from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And with a new Marvel movie currently in theaters, Spider-Man: Homecoming feels like the perfect pairing to stream this weekend.
The second movie concludes on a positive note, showing Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), Andy (Anne Hathaway), and Nigel (Stanley Tucci) successfully moving forward with their fashion magazine, ‘Runway,’ now supported by Sasha Barnes (Lucy Liu) despite the growing influence of online media. Even Emily (Blunt), after her attempt to undermine things, finds a path to recovery at Coach. This leaves a lot of interesting possibilities for a third ‘Devil Wears Prada’ film, with plenty of story potential to explore.
David Arquette (known from Scream), Jodi Balfour (For All Mankind), William Zabka (Cobra Kai), Stella Baker (The Republic of Sarah), Kim Dickens (Deadwood), Troy Garity (Barbershop), Jerod Haynes (The Greatest), Michael “Killer Mike” Render (The Lowdown), and Holland Taylor (The Morning Show) will appear in Season 2 of Scarpetta. Their roles haven’t been revealed yet, but they will be recurring throughout the season.
Lin recently worked with Going Method to show how the incredible spinning kicks and stunts from Mortal Kombat II were created. The training session, available below, breaks down Liu Kang’s fighting moves step-by-step, revealing the thinking behind his techniques and how he gained his fire abilities.
The streaming service offers several action-packed options, including Criminal Record, The Mosquito Coast, The Last Frontier, and Hijack. One of its thrillers feels similar to shows like Narcos or films like Sicario, immersing viewers in the complex world of modern military operations and international crime. These shows are full of suspense and raise tough questions about intervention and how we handle global issues.
Sony is now starting to focus more on preserving its older games. While it’s not a complete solution yet, fans are happy to see progress in keeping PlayStation classics playable.

Just two weeks before the new Star Wars movie hits cinemas, a four-part Disney+ documentary series called Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu — A Special Look has quickly become popular on the streaming platform, currently ranking at number three.
The popular TV show The Walking Dead, based on Robert Kirkman’s graphic novels, aired for 11 seasons, from 2010 to 2022.

This was followed by The World Beyond (two seasons), the short-lived Tales of the Walking Dead, the limited series The Ones Who Live focusing on Rick and Michonne, and the currently running shows Dead City and Daryl Dixon.
Aster has completed the script for his new film, Scapegoat, but details about the story are being kept secret. He will also direct and produce the movie for A24, alongside his producing partner Lars Knudsen, through their Square Peg production company.
