The director recently spoke with Slash Film while promoting Silent Night, Deadly Night, and used the interview to discuss his involvement with the Jason Universe. Following the legal issues surrounding Friday the 13th, Horror Inc. created the Jason Universe as a new brand. Robbie Barsamian, a company executive, later shared that they were developing a new Friday the 13th film under this new branding. The director then revealed he’s already submitted a proposal for the project.

Earlier this year, Eric Kripke hinted at major character deaths. In an interview with Deadline, he said viewers shouldn’t expect a peaceful ending, stating that “many characters will likely die” and that no one’s survival is certain. Certain characters on the Prime Video series seem particularly vulnerable, given their actions, health conditions, and how their stories play out in the original comic books.

I recently chatted with Paul Feig, and the topic of a potential Spy sequel came up. He’s known for generally avoiding sequels, but given how much people loved the original action comedy, I had to ask if he’d reconsider. Sadly, it seems he’s still hesitant about revisiting that world, despite the constant requests from fans. It’s a bit disappointing, but he doesn’t seem to be changing his mind anytime soon.

At The Game Awards 2025, Nintendo shared a new trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, offering fans a longer preview of their upcoming animated film. Following the popularity of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, the sequel again teams up Chris Meledandri of Illumination and Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto to expand the Mario universe on the big screen.

From the start of the story, Carol and Manousos have been presented as individuals who are unwilling to accept those who are infected. Unlike the other characters who have learned to live alongside the infected, Carol and Manousos don’t even try to get help from them. Manousos, in particular, is even more determined than Carol to avoid any contact whatsoever.

Wow, the first part of Matlock on CBS for 2025 just finished, and it left me reeling! There were so many surprises to keep us hooked until Season 2 arrives in 2026. I can’t believe Julian is actually starting to take charge, even though Matty and Olympia still see him as someone they can control. The biggest shock, though, was Senior having a stroke – he still hasn’t woken up! On top of that, Matty managed to get some important files from Olympia, the team suffered a defeat in court, and poor Sarah received some really upsetting news from her boss. It was a lot to take in!

The next two episodes of the show, titled “Lone Wolf” and “Wolf Pack,” will air Monday night and will also be available to stream the following day on Paramount+. While the team initially plans for a holiday-themed episode, a murder investigation quickly pulls them into a much bigger and potentially devastating case, as shown in the trailer. New York City is about to face chaos, and Jubal will be particularly stressed after receiving concerning news about his son, Tyler.

Camp Half-Blood is under attack by monsters, and things have gotten even worse: Chiron is gone and has been replaced by Tantalus, a new and unpleasant character in the Percy Jackson story. He’s easily recognizable with his spiky black hair and dark robes, and he definitely doesn’t seem to care about the campers.

The Absolute Joker has captivated fans with a dark and unexpected portrayal of Bruce Wayne. Throughout the series, details about the Absolute Joker have been slowly unveiled, building anticipation. However, many readers were still surprised by the complete story as revealed by MI6 agent Alfred Pennyworth. Issue #15 of Absolute Batman, created by Scott Snyder and Jock (with Frank Martin and Clayton Cowles), reunited the creative team and revisited a concept Snyder originally explored in his previous work on Batman.

Many action anime show the hero struggling against a stronger villain, but ultimately winning because the story demands it. We also see plenty of close, evenly-matched fights that stay suspenseful until the very end. Often, the villain’s defeat feels forced, serving only to move the hero’s story forward and creating moments where the hero seems unfairly protected by the plot.
