A recent comic series introduced a new planet, leading many DC fans to expect that world to be central to the future of the DC Universe. However, James Gunn recently told YouTubers Ryan Arey, Heather Antos, and Erik Voss that Darkseid won’t be the main villain. While Jack Kirby’s New Gods will still be part of the DCU, Gunn has already written a complete script for a Mister Miracle series by Tom King. Gunn doesn’t want to rush into a large story with Darkseid, especially given his similarities to Thanos and his previous appearance in Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Instead, the overarching conflict of the DCU will build on ideas first presented in Superman and expanded in Season 2 of Peacemaker. The DCU acknowledges that metahumans – people with superpowers – already exist in the world, and they’re not uncommon. Some, like the Justice Gang, work for companies, while others, like Superman, operate independently. Flag, Sr. and the organization A.R.G.U.S. are responsible for monitoring metahuman activity, and a group called Salvation offers them a way to eliminate all metahumans, both heroes and villains. This approach to superpowered individuals is different from how the Marvel Cinematic Universe has handled the same concept.

Characters like Scarlet Scarab, Namor, and War Machine have the potential to lead their own movies, but Marvel Studios hasn’t given them the opportunity yet. There are many stories to tell about them on the big screen, either exploring their past or continuing their adventures. Unfortunately, Marvel Studios hasn’t shown any interest in developing their stories, and that doesn’t seem likely to change anytime soon.

What makes Santa Clarita Diet so good is its perfect blend of humor and darkness. It’s not just a horror-comedy; it cleverly pokes fun at the idea of the perfect suburban life, marriage, and making difficult choices. Each episode manages to be both wildly silly and genuinely heartfelt. Josh Olyphant and Drew Barrymore keep the show relatable, even as the plot gets increasingly bizarre. Despite being canceled in 2019, Santa Clarita Diet remains a popular and beloved show on Netflix. Its three seasons are fast-paced and endlessly rewatchable. In a world of TV shows that often drag on too long, it’s rare for a show to end at just the right time, but Santa Clarita Diet does exactly that.

The movie Alien featured Ripley, a strong female lead who consistently made smart, rational decisions when others panicked. Science fiction is an ideal setting for exploring important social issues, and this trend continued throughout the 1980s, a decade that produced many iconic sci-fi films we still enjoy today.

The film deeply respects Fujimoto’s original manga, and this is evident even in how it adapts the story. Most of the changes made in Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc aren’t major departures from the source material; instead, they expand on existing ideas and details. These additions often feel like natural extensions of the manga, fleshing out hints and suggestions that were present all along.

The new series Pluribus, set to launch on November 7, 2025, is already generating a lot of buzz and is expected to be one of the streamer’s most popular shows this year. The first two episodes will premiere simultaneously, with a total of nine episodes planned.

It’s crazy watching Phil and his mates try to figure things out after school. They’re all struggling – unemployment, some getting mixed up in bad stuff, it’s a real mess. Then their friend Ted just vanishes, Steve is trying so hard to please his parents with a normal job, and even Matt gets engaged, which just leaves Phil feeling totally lost. He starts hanging around with Steve’s brother, Robert, who’s a bit of a disaster and always scheming, and suddenly Phil’s caught between this crazy criminal world and just… everyday life. Things start to look up a little when his cousin Shona arrives and gives him the push he needed. He knows he needs to change things, but it feels like some huge decisions are coming up, and I’m on the edge of my seat to see what happens next!

Jennifer Aniston recently appeared on the Armchair Expert podcast with Dax Shepard and Monica Padman, where she talked candidly about many things, including clarifying some misunderstandings about her previous comments on the Met Gala. She also explained what she believes makes Gwyneth Paltrow so successful as a public figure, saying:

Seth Bullock’s anger and unwillingness to become a lawman were just one part of what made the show Deadwood so compelling. The series wouldn’t have worked without Al Swearengen, the owner of the Gem Saloon, as a counterpoint. Ian McShane’s incredible performance gave the character a surprising amount of depth and humor, and many consider him to be one of the best television characters ever created.

As a classic movie fan, I was really saddened to hear about the passing of June Lockhart. She was one of those last connections to Hollywood’s Golden Age, and her career lasted an incredible nine decades – she really spanned several generations of performers. I just learned she passed away peacefully on Thursday, with her daughter Elizabeth and granddaughter Christianna by her side. Her family confirmed it was due to natural causes. Elizabeth actually released a statement through Deadline, and it said…
