First Reaction – Happy Gilmore 2 struggles to get near to the level of the 90s classic.

For a while, Phase Six of the Marvel Cinematic Universe faced some difficulties. Initially planned to kick off with Fantastic Four on November 8, 2024, this phase was supposed to continue with Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars in 2025. However, a writers’ strike in 2023 disrupted the early stages of production for numerous Marvel projects, and Jonathan Majors, who portrayed Kang, faced allegations leading to his conviction for harassment and reckless assault. Consequently, Phase Six underwent significant adjustments, and its release dates were postponed. The Fantastic Four’s launch date was swapped with that of Thunderbolts* (which was also delayed), while the fifth Avengers film, now called Doomsday, was rescheduled for December 18, 2026.

*Note: In this context, “Thunderbolts” refers to a team of supervillains and antiheroes in the Marvel universe who were reimagined as a team of heroes in the MCU movies.

Let’s take a look at the production costs for The Fantastic Four: First Steps and the revenue it needs to generate to cover those expenses.

In this way, we can understand both the investment made and the financial goals required for the film to be considered a success.

During an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Alan Cumming, who is set to star alongside Pascal, Kirby, Moss-Bachrach, and Quinn in next year’s Avengers: Doomsday, showcased the remarkable Mister Fantastic popcorn bucket to them. Intriguingly, when placed in a specific orientation, this popcorn container takes on an unexpected, adult-themed appearance.

Shortly after whispers started circulating about potential plotlines for Season 4 of Ted Lasso, and speculations about which actors could return, it was announced that Phil Dunster might not return to portray Jamie because of scheduling conflicts.

At San Diego Comic-Con 2025, TopMob attended Mattel’s toy presentation. Joining them were Jacob Fatu, Giulia, Jey Uso, and CM Punk. They all got a sneak peek at the upcoming figures for the remainder of the year and into 2026. Jacob Fatu has some action figures in the pipeline, showcasing his gear from PLE, which will be accessible to Peacock subscribers. He also shared insights about how this ties back to his past career in retail.

Mel Owens, a past NFL linebacker, made a statement on a podcast in June about his time on The Bachelorette. He shared that before filming, he informed the producers he would exclude any women aged 60 or above from his season, and also expressed disinterest towards those with artificial hips or wigs. Joy Behar, however, approached this comment from a psychological perspective, suggesting:

In 2022, Zach Cregger disclosed that he penned a film set in the DC Universe and characterized it as a “Batman-related project,” which is unusual for him given his lack of interest in superhero films generally. Later on, Daniel Richtman (via ComicBookMovie) reported that Cregger has written a movie involving Joker and Harley Quinn. Richtman also mentioned he’s unsure if Cregger has presented his idea to DC Studios co-head James Gunn yet, but plans to do so in the future.

Ineson remarked, “I had guessed that superheroes wear special suits for their roles.” However, I didn’t anticipate how misguided this assumption was. The idea of attempting something as colossal as what Galactus does in a practical sense is exceptionally uncommon. Yet, from the moment I met Matt, he discussed it as if we were going to create a genuine suit for me to embody the character. For an actor, there’s nothing quite like being able to physically wear such gear. Although I did some motion-capture work, most of my performance was practical and in costume. Wearing that outfit makes you truly feel part of the role.

For approximately two months now, I’ve been among those who’ve enjoyed “Overcompensating” through my Amazon Prime subscription. The response from both fans and critics has been overwhelmingly positive, with a remarkable 93% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Yet, the question lingers as to why Amazon hasn’t renewed it for another season just yet. Sadly, the reason remains a mystery, even to me and the talented cast members like Mary Beth Barone, who plays Grace and is also a staff writer on the show. She recently shared some insights on Late Night with Seth Meyers, expressing her understanding of the current situation.
