Though it’s not getting as much attention as Breaking Bad, Vince Gilligan has a new show, Pluribus, now available on Apple TV.

Inspired by Emily Wilson’s groundbreaking translation of The Odyssey, Christopher Nolan’s new film draws on Greek mythology and features a stellar cast of actresses – including Charlize Theron, Anne Hathaway, and Lupita Nyong’o – as powerful goddesses like Athena and Circe. However, Nolan has faced criticism for his portrayal of female characters in the past. With such rich source material and talented actors at his disposal, this film represents a crucial opportunity for him to address those concerns and finally change perceptions. If he fails to create compelling female characters this time, he may never overcome that criticism.
The film was a huge hit with both viewers and critics – it earned an 88% rating from critics and a remarkable 93% audience score (based on over 10,000 reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes. It also elevated well-known characters like Yelena Belova, Red Guardian, and the Winter Soldier, while brilliantly introducing new characters like Sentry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Before the season finale of IT: Welcome to Derry, director Andy Muschietti—who also co-created and executive produced the series—joined his sister and co-creator, Barbara Muschietti, for a Q&A session on Reddit.

It’s been over six years since Chris Evans retired as Captain America, but recent reports suggest Steve Rogers will be back, and will be a major part of the next Avengers movie. Unconfirmed trailer footage appears to show Steve riding a motorcycle and with his son, followed by the message ‘Steve Rogers Will Return in Avengers: Doomsday’.
