The Transformers franchise has grown to include more sophisticated animated series, like the Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy on Netflix. It’s also consistently been on television, with Transformers: EarthSpark being the newest show in a tradition that started in the 1980s. This long history of success means there will always be more Transformers content coming. Here’s a look at all the upcoming movies and what we know about them.

The new movie, Predator: Badlands, is now playing in theaters! Fans have been discovering lots of cool Easter eggs and references to past films, but there are also plenty of connections to the universe, since the two franchises share the same setting.

One of the main reasons Friends became so popular was because viewers felt like they really knew the characters. This strong connection led fans to pay close attention to every detail of their lives, even things like their ages and birthdays, which often changed throughout the show. In fact, the characters’ ages were inconsistent, with references that didn’t always add up, and even the characters themselves seemed unsure how old they were. Here’s a breakdown of each character’s age on Friends.

Matt Smith, known for playing the Eleventh Doctor in Doctor Who, recently shared with A Rabbit’s Foot that he hasn’t visited the set of the upcoming Starfighter movie yet. Unlike his co-stars Ryan Gosling and Flynn Gray, he’s still waiting to begin filming. Here’s what Smith said:

Family plays a significant role in Elphaba’s story as she discovers her past and future. In the popular musical, she initially believes she was the result of an affair and doesn’t know who her father is. While the novel reveals his identity, this secret will likely be a major focus in the upcoming movie, Wicked: For Good. But will it be? Luckily, fans won’t have to wait long to find out who Elphaba’s father truly is.

The last Marvel movie planned for 2025, Fantastic Four: First Steps, is designed to be easy for anyone to enjoy, even if they haven’t seen much of the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe. It takes place in a separate reality – a 1960s-inspired world called Earth-828 – that doesn’t directly connect to the main timeline. Despite this separate setting, the film still tells a compelling story about family, all while featuring a threat that could destroy the world.

The marketing for this show is being kept tightly under wraps, so discussing the plot feels a bit like giving away a surprise. The story offers a fresh take on the post-apocalyptic genre: a huge global event has left almost everyone happy and kind, except for a small group who remain unaffected. Actress Seehorn plays Carol Sturka, a cynical romance novelist, and the show centers around the conflict between her negativity and the overwhelmingly positive world around her. The series follows Carol as she struggles to manage her anger and address her ongoing depression in a constructive way.

Alec Gillis, a creature designer who started his career with the original “Alien” and “Predator” movies working alongside special effects legend Stan Winston, recently teamed up with director Trachtenberg again. They previously collaborated on the 2022 film “Prey,” and Gillis has worked on nearly every installment in both the “Alien” and “Predator” series since his early work with Winston.

The success of a K-drama often hinges on its main couple. How the love story unfolds, and whether the characters find happiness individually and as a pair, can be the deciding factor in whether the drama is remembered as a classic. A strong couple can elevate a series, while a disappointing ending for them can ruin it.

As a huge fantasy fan, I’ve been thrilled to see so many amazing books come out lately! Just this year, 2025, has given us some real gems. I especially loved “Oathbound” by Tracy Deonn – it’s the third book in the “Legendborn” series and it’s fantastic – and “Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soul” by V.E. Schwab was another standout for me.
