It’s taken Demon Slayer a long time to become so highly regarded by both critics and anime enthusiasts, and Netflix’s attempt to quickly profit from it risks undoing the incredible work Ufotable has put in. The anime is largely loved now, especially thanks to Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle. Considering the anime community already has a difficult and often negative relationship with live-action adaptations, Netflix should really reconsider making a live-action version of Demon Slayer.

Before the debut of Good Boy, Ben Leonberg discussed his special film and the lovable dog that the story revolves around with TopMob. In the conversation, he shared details about everything from the worry that Indy might not make it, to the experience of creating one of the year’s most eagerly awaited horror films alongside his wife and beloved pet:

Although James Cameron didn’t direct the movie – Robert Rodriguez was the director – the Titanic director helped write the screenplay with Laeta Kalogridis and also co-produced it alongside Jon Landau. The science fiction film didn’t get great reviews, but it did reasonably well, which led to talk about making a sequel. Now, six years later, there haven’t been many clear announcements. However, the person who oversaw the creation of Alita shared hopeful news about Alita: Battle Angel 2 during an interview with .

Avengers: Doomsday originally went by the name The Kang Dynasty, with plans for Jonathan Majors to play the villain, Kang the Conqueror, and Destin Daniel Cretton directing. However, after Marvel Studios fired Majors, they changed course. Cretton was then moved to work on Spider-Man: Brand New Way. To recapture the interest of fans potentially turned off after The Multiverse Saga, Marvel announced at San Diego Comic-Con last year that the Russo Brothers would return to direct the next Avengers movie, with Robert Downey Jr. starring as Doctor Doom. Now that the Russo Brothers and Downey Jr. are back with the MCU, the filmmakers have been sharing glimpses of the Avengers: Doomsday production, bringing back memories of their earlier work. These posts weren’t hugely revealing, but considering the Russo Brothers’ history of building anticipation, they’ve clearly figured out how to get people talking, and some fans are now wondering if a specific storyline might play a role in the upcoming Avengers films.

Jared Bush, Chief Creative Officer (CCO) at Walt Disney Animation Studios, recently talked to Cartoon Brew before the release of Zootopia 2 and clarified a common misconception about how Disney approaches sequels. He confirmed that Disney Animation doesn’t have a strict “rule” requiring a specific number of sequels or franchise projects. Instead, the studio focuses on creating compelling stories.

Besides James Bond, Marvel, and DC Comics characters, Star Trek is the film series with the most installments in recent times, but it still appeals to a relatively small group of people. While those unfamiliar with the show may pick up bits and pieces through general cultural awareness, things like photon torpedoes and the Prime Directive aren’t as well-known as lightsabers or the Force. It’s interesting that many Star Trek fans (Trekkers or Trekkies, especially those who dress up as characters) actually think most of the Star Trek movies aren’t very good. Over time, people tend to view them more favorably, and even the worst episodes or films usually have their supporters. When Star Trek films are ranked according to Rotten Tomatoes critics’ scores, the results are surprisingly logical (though there are a few unexpected entries), and almost every film seems better than its rating suggests.

Some shows succeed by focusing on complex political plots, while others thrive with imaginative magic systems and explorations of good versus evil, and occasionally, they spark debate. This recent surge in fantasy television is proving that the genre isn’t limited to knights and mythical creatures; it can also be varied, welcoming, and boldly original. However, not every storyline reaches a fulfilling conclusion, and even the most creative reimaginings come with certain risks.

With Dragon Ball Super currently paused and Dragon Ball DAIMA taking the story in a different direction, many fans have been speculating if DAIMA could be a fresh start for the series. Discussions have centered around whether the small changes to established lore and some plot holes in DAIMA suggest a brand new Dragon Ball timeline, separate from what happened in Dragon Ball Super. Recent comments from Komaki offer a glimpse into how the team viewed Dragon Ball DAIMA while creating the latest Dragon Ball anime, although they don’t explicitly confirm anything.

While talking about Peacemaker Season 2, Episode 7, James Gunn – who created the series and now leads DC Studios – hinted that viewers might have just been introduced to Peacemaker’s biggest enemy. This enemy could be the alternate version of his brother, Kieth, who appears as the armored hero Captain Triumph from Earth X.
