Ben Higgins, a 36-year-old known from season 20 of The Bachelor, recently shared his opinions on the rumored relationship between Tom Brady and Kim Kardashian on his podcast, The Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous Podcast. When co-host Ashley Iaconetti asked what he thought, Higgins was direct, saying he didn’t approve of the pairing. He also expressed concerns about the age difference between Brady and Kardashian, and believes there’s another issue contributing to the situation.

According to industry insider Daniel Richtman, Marvel Studios is planning its own unique version of the Symbiote storyline for Tom Holland’s Spider-Man trilogy. This suggests they aren’t interested in simply retelling the Eddie Brock/Venom story that audiences have already seen in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 and the recent Venom movies. Marvel seems to want to use the Symbiote as a long-term plot device, allowing it to develop and reappear across multiple films instead of being a one-time story arc.

Gwyneth Paltrow is known for popularizing the idea of ‘conscious uncoupling,’ but she recently revealed that the media attention surrounding her divorce actually harmed her acting career. She explained on Amy Poehler’s Good Hang podcast that one studio tried to avoid working with her, and she ultimately lost a role because of the publicity.

Although a release date for Enola Holmes 3 hasn’t been announced yet, Netflix has given fans a first glimpse at what’s to come. The new look suggests Enola’s relationship with Tewkesbury (Louis Partridge) is progressing, with him offering her a flower in a newly released photo.

Jordan shared with CBS Sunday Morning that Black Panther stayed with him for a while after filming. He found it helpful to go to therapy and process his experience, realizing he needed to actively unwind after immersing himself in a character. He explained that there isn’t a set method for doing this. Acting, he noted, is often a solitary process – from self-taped auditions to individual preparation – and it’s a journey of learning. He came to understand that it was important to address any lingering emotional weight by talking things through.

As a huge Marvel fan, I was thrilled to finally see the Avengers: Doomsday X-Men teaser online! It originally played in theaters last week, and it’s giving me chills – especially Professor X’s line, “Death comes for us all.” It’s definitely setting a dark tone for what’s to come.

It’s hard to argue that Daredevil’s success in 2015 paved the way for more Marvel and Netflix collaborations. Just seven months later, Jessica Jones premiered on Netflix, proving to be another huge hit that wasn’t connected to the main Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The conversation began during a discussion hosted by The Hollywood Reporter with filmmakers Guillermo del Toro, Bradley Cooper, Clint Bentley, Hikari, Noah Oppenheim, and Will Tracy. All six had films scheduled for release in 2025 that were already generating awards attention, including del Toro’s adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Del Toro asked Oppenheim, the writer of A House of Dynamite, about his experience working with Idris Elba, who played the U.S. President in the Netflix film. Before posing his question, del Toro shared a story:

When The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was released, critics universally disliked it, calling it a poor adaptation of Alan Moore’s well-regarded comic book series. Roger Ebert’s negative review was particularly impactful, and surprisingly, the film’s failure even led one major actor to consider retirement. Despite its bad reputation, a reboot is in development, offering a chance to fix the mistakes of the original movie and deliver on the potential of the source material.

Several exciting sci-fi movies are coming out, including Project Hail Mary with Ryan Gosling, based on a popular novel, Mercy, a crime thriller starring Chris Pratt and featuring artificial intelligence, and Disclosure Day, Steven Spielberg’s latest big event film. The 2020s are proving to be a fantastic time for science fiction, both in cinemas and on television, and these 2026 releases continue that trend by blending elements of both mediums.
