You know, after watching *Mantis*, I realized it’s less about *what* the assassins do and much more about the power struggles and the tense atmosphere surrounding them. The film really focuses on building that feeling of unease and competition, rather than detailed action sequences.

Shazam hasn’t always had successful revivals since his original comics ended in 1953. Although his famous magic word remains well-known – even becoming part of a popular false memory involving a non-existent Sinbad movie called “Shazaam” – the hero himself was largely forgotten until the 2019 film starring Zachary Levi. It looked like young Billy Batson might finally have a comeback, but the 2023 sequel, *Shazam! Fury of the Gods*, performed poorly in theaters, leaving the character’s future uncertain once again.

I was surprised when Jeremy Allen White was announced to play Rotta, Jabba the Hutt’s son, because it seemed odd to cast a well-known actor for a character that’s usually just a creature. Seeing his incredibly muscular build was confusing, but after looking into it, the casting choice actually makes a lot of sense.
In the movie *Superman*, Superman’s biological parents, Jor-El (played by Bradley Cooper) and Lara, aren’t portrayed as purely heroic figures. Initially, Superman believes they sent him to Earth to be a helper, but a message accompanying him later reveals their true intention: for him to *rule* over Earth. Director James Gunn, in commentary exclusive to the iTunes version of the film, notes that he isn’t the first to depict Superman’s parents with less-than-noble motives.
