Here’s a breakdown of what we know for sure, what’s happening around it, and what fans are currently guessing about.

In an interview with Esquire, Kaitlin Olson described balancing her role on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia with motherhood for much of the year. However, when she read the script for High Potential, she was immediately drawn to the complex lead character – a highly intelligent, unpredictable woman working with the LAPD. Olson recalled a time before High Potential became a success on ABC, when she had to take a shortcut to get things done.

I’m so excited about Wicked: For Good! It’s already showing in some theaters, and the response has been incredible. Everyone seems to be absolutely loving it, despite some critics calling the ending a little confusing or saying it doesn’t have quite as many huge songs as the first movie. Honestly, it sounds like it’s soaring above all the negativity, and I can’t wait to see it for myself!

Hideo Kojima, the creator of Death Stranding, shared strong positive feedback about the Netflix series Last Samurai Standing in a now-deleted post on X (formerly Twitter), saying it was so good it made his heart race.

As a total movie buff, I have to say this new 6-part crime series on Netflix is exactly what I needed. If you’re like me and love a good heist movie – think something slick like Ocean’s Eleven – or you get hooked on those unbelievable true crime stories, you absolutely have to check this out. It’s perfect for a weekend binge!

I’ve enjoyed this movie as a guilty pleasure for forty years, ever since seeing it with friends after school during my junior year at an AMC marathon. It’s a really fun, over-the-top film, quite a departure from the more dramatic ones that came before. It’s often ridiculous, but I still love it, especially the story of Paul Kersey taking on a New York City gang ten years after being exiled.

Walton Goggins’ role as the Comedian in “Watchmen” is considered a standout performance in his career. He previously described receiving the offer from director Zack Snyder as incredibly surprising, saying it felt like a dream come true (according to The Georgia Straight).

This indicates that Nicholas Hoult’s portrayal of the character will be a departure from his usual antagonistic role, as he’ll be working with the DC Universe heroes instead of against them.

The new Star Wars movies signal an important change for the series, as many fans believe it’s best experienced in theaters. The franchise has always thrived on telling diverse, standalone stories throughout its history, and we can expect to see much more of that in upcoming projects.

The story begins in 1946 with Aatami returning to his home near the Finnish-Soviet border, only to discover his wife and child have been brutally murdered by a deranged Soviet soldier named Igor Draganov (Stephen Lang). Draganov killed them, and many others, with a shovel to conserve ammunition. Fueled by grief and rage, Aatami then single-handedly killed 300 Russian soldiers in revenge. Now, Draganov is imprisoned, but offered a chance at freedom if he can eliminate Aatami.
