Concept art from House of the Dragon is hinting at the massive threat that the dragons might pose. Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) has only used her own dragon, Syrax, for showboating, but other dragons have shown their might already. Caraxes and Vhagar have slaughtered their enemies with ease already. While Syrax hasn't been able to join them, that doesn't mean she isn't terrifying.

Producer Joe Russo is clarifying what he meant when revealing the live-action Hercules would take inspiration from TikTok. Disney's animated musical, based on the hero Heracles, premiered back in 1997 and despite a relatively poor theatrical run, it has managed to generate a strong fanbase. Following its titular demigod through youth, the movie explores Hercules' efforts to reunite with his family on Mount Olympus and prevent Hades from gaining power. A live-action adaptation was announced in 2020, with the Russo brothers serving as producers, and Guy Ritchie attached to direct.

Better Call Saul season 6 had some amazing lines, some of which combined humor with seriousness in a way that the Breaking Bad prequel always nailed. The three Better Call Saul timelines – Jimmy’s life, the Breaking Bad era, and Gene’s story – all came together in a virtually perfect season. Better Call Saul season 6 gave every major character a chance to shine, and it even revisited Walter White and Jesse Pinkman.

As well as the introduction of two new threats to the MCU's infamous A-holes, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 also promises to answer the question of Rocket Raccoon's origin.

In the Star Wars Legends continuity, Luke Skywalker establishes the New Jedi Order, a vastly-improved successor to the prequel-era Jedi Order that can serve as a model for Rey’s generation of Jedi in the current canon. Rey is the last living Jedi in the final scene of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and since the Star Wars galaxy is now in nearly the same position as it was at the end of Return of the Jedi , Rey is in the perfect position to rebuild the Order and fix its many flaws. The current canon’s Luke failed to improve the Jedi, but perhaps Rey will succeed in doing so.

Better Call Saul had a number of memorable Breaking Bad cameos, but Hank was the series' weakest cameo. Set roughly six years before the events of Breaking Bad , Better Call Saul is a stellar prequel series that adds dimension to Breaking Bad characters. While the series did focus on Bob Odenkirk’s Jimmy McGill, Better Call Saul also gave a great deal of character development to Breaking Bad fan favorites, such as Gus Fring and Mike. In addition to Breaking Bad characters who never appeared in Better Call Saul , there is one character who didn’t get the cameo he deserved.

Captain America: New World Order is finally paying off the Marvel Cinematic Universe's longest villain tease with Samuel Sterns' return. The fourth film in the Captain America franchise is taking the series in a brand-new direction in several ways. This includes Sam Wilson stepping into the mantle of Captain America and replacing Steve Rogers. However, Captain America 4 is also exploring another side of the MCU thanks to its links to super soldier serum.

Just like John Stewart who also became an accomplished officer in his own right, power rings have chosen a handful of heroes from Earth over the course of the DC Comics timeline.

Within the continuity of Blade Runner , Replicants are treated with nothing but disdain in society. To reflect that, they are called a number of insulting names, such as ‘Skinjob’. However, there is one Replicat slur that is far worse than any other, as it highlights the atrocious purpose of their tragic existence.

The two most iconic heroes to wear the Flash mantle, Wally West and Barry Allen , each have their own nemesis, but it would be more fitting it they were to switch villains. There are so many iconic villains in the DC Universe that contrast to their heroes: Joker and Batman, Lex Luthor and Superman, Wonder Woman and Cheetah. Rarely is it the case that a hero's iconic villain is actually better suited to another hero, but that's exactly the case with Reverse-Flash and Hunter Zolomon.

The Mandalorian season 3 has concluded without an appearance of Temuera Morrison’s Boba Fett, but that may have been for the best. Recently, Morrison released a statement saying he was disappointed for not being included in The Mandalorian season 3, despite him being told Boba Fett would appear. Although Morrison seemed to be exaggerating a little in good humor, it would be entirely understandable for him to be frustrating with Lucasfilm - especially after Pedro Pascal's Din Djarin essentially hijacked The Book of Boba Fett for an episode.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’s Adam Warlock hasn’t debuted yet, yet major four differences to the comic character have already been revealed.

The Witcher season 3 will be critical to the franchise's future because of Henry Cavill's imminent departure and the relative failure of the prequel series, Blood Origin . Indeed, the franchise seems to be at a crossroads of sorts that could spell the end of the Netflix fantasy series if The Witcher season 3 should flop. A strong season 3 will be required to breathe new life into The Witcher franchise and reinvigorate Netflix's hopes of making it a wide-ranging, long-term project.

The Godfather Part III has a much worse reception than its predecessors, but it could have been much better with two casting changes. The Godfather and The Godfather Part II are considered two of the greatest movies of all time. They tell a harrowing story about the Corleone family's mafia dealings, and are full of powerhouse performances from multiple Academy Award winners. Although The Godfather Part III sees most of the original actors returning and filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola once again in the director's chair, it was not anywhere near as well received as the first two movies.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 brings back Marvel Cinematic Universe actress Linda Cardellini to the fold, although the star will be playing a different role this time around. Cardellini joined the MCU as Laura Barton, wife to Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye, in 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron .

Nick and Vanessa Lachey may end up fired as Love Is Blind hosts and replaced with a couple alums of the Netflix reality show. The Love Is Blind season 4 reunion was a wash, mainly due to their hosting abilities, resulting in calls for their departure and replacement. Nick and Vanessa have been criticized since the inception of Love Is Blind , but the last two seasons have been especially bad. The general assessment is that they are unable to provide helpful advice for the couples or lead a good reunion, causing their place to be questioned.

As Succession approaches its highly anticipated series finale, lead Kieran Culkin has finally addressed a glaring plot hole regarding his character going back to the pilot episode. Culkin stars on the hit HBO satire as Roman Roy, the snarky youngest son of the central antagonist, media mogul Logan Roy. Considering that much of the black comedy explores Roman's uniquely complicated romantic entanglements and relationship hangups, it is hard to believe that the masochistic character was first introduced as a husband and father only for his wife and child to effectively disappear from the show after the pilot.

WARNING: This article contains SPOILERS for Succession!

The first footage from Warner Bros.' Wonka has been revealed, showing off Timothée Chalamet's take on the title character and Hugh Grant as an Oompa Loompa.

Scream VI is packed with brutal deaths, but Anika’s (Devyn Nekoda) death is even worse once you realize who was the Ghostface who killed her. The Scream franchise continues riding the wave of reboots/requels after the success of Scream 2022 , and it wasted no time in continuing to tell the stories of a new generation of characters in the sixth installment in the saga, simply titled Scream VI . Set a year after the 2022 Woodsboro murders, Scream VI caught up with the survivors as they, along with legacy characters Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) and Kirby Reed (Hayden Panettiere), came across a new Ghostface killer.

When adapting the anime series One Piece to a live-action show, Netflix may need to change the character Sanji’s problem with women. As a medium, anime has several well-known tropes, both for its plots and the character types that populate them. These can range from the idealistic hero to the strangely emotionless yet competent right-hand man. In particular, there’s an additional character, usually a man, who provides part of the comedic relief in anime as one who is deeply enamored with love and the opposite sex. This kind of character appears in many types of anime regardless of genre. Even if they have other personality traits and abilities, their love of love is always a defining element.

90 Day Fiancé and its offshoots are often memorable, and there are plenty of scenes that qualify as "firsts." In fact, the franchise's exceptional cast members might even be considered reality TV pioneers. While the intense 90DF drama may seem fake, the franchise has always featured real couples pursuing K-1 visas. Those documents allow U.S. nationals' international partners to enter America legally for 90 days, and they must marry by the time those visas expire. Those three months are filled with dread, anxiety, panic, regret, chaos, and (sometimes) love. The cameras follow the couples' journeys, and some do make it to the altar.

Better Call Saul seemingly marked the end of the Breaking Bad universe, but an abundance of spin-off ideas make a continuation possible. The law series expanded the world of Breaking Bad in unimaginable ways. Although it wrapped up Jimmy McGill's story, it left some story arcs open-ended and some characters' backgrounds a total mystery.

Hollywood has made a great many war movies over the decades, and while some have honestly portrayed the horrors and events of war, other films have dropped the ball completely when it comes to historical and emotional accuracy. These movies have either embellished certain events to achieve an agenda or add dramatic flair, or they have lacked the proper research to create an accurate film. All in all, these inaccurate war films have astonished viewers with their lack of grace and honesty when it comes to representing war.

Below Deck season 10 offered its fair share of up and downs for Camille Lamb , but a high point was her relationship with Ben Willoughby, which continued after the season ended. Camille was new to the show for season 10, taking on two roles (as Stew and Deckhand) aboard the St. David . Captain Lee Rosbach had medical issues throughout the beginning of the season, and needed to leave the yacht in Below Deck 's Captain Sandy Yawn 's hands for a stretch of time, Camille's work ethic clashed with Captain Sandy's signature micromanagement style.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire’s title is a sign that a real Titan War is finally headed for the MonsterVerse. Given the multitude of Titans that exist in Godzilla and Kong’s cinematic world, there was some expectation that a monster war of epic proportions would unfold in the 2021 movie. Early marketing teased a “ monster war ” happening on the surface of the Earth, but no additional Titans wound up joining the fight between Godzilla and Kong.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie has put Disney to shame, dethroning the studio when it comes to box office success, but Disney still has two chances to win back the crown. The video game movie has become a phenomenal hit, as it broke five box office records in its opening weekend alone, and it became the highest-grossing video game movie of all time just 7 days after its release. The Illumination-developed film will very likely join the billion-dollar club, and as Marvel movies are underperforming, it has a shot of becoming the highest-grossing movie of the year too.

Searchlight Pictures’ new film Chevalier brings a largely forgotten musical master into the limelight once again. The film tells the story of Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, a composer and violinist who rose to fame in the court of Marie Antoinette. Unfortunately, much of Bologne’s work was lost during the rise and reign of Napoleon Bonaparte, so many will be hearing of the composer for the first time thanks to Chevalier .

Although the Chicago Fire fan community has theorized that Lieutenant Stella Kidd may be pregnant, the direction the NBC drama is taking means that this storyline likely won't happen just yet. Chicago Fire follows the firefighters and EMTs working at the fictional Firehouse 51 in Chicago, Illinois. The series is currently airing its 11th season and has been renewed for season 12. One prominent character among the ensemble cast is Stella Kidd, a talented firefighter who is a lieutenant and the officer in charge of Truck 81.

Althugh the Oscar-winning actor has been a part of major Hollywood productions for decades, he originally got his start on Australian television.

Westworld, based on the Michael Crichton film of the same name, explores a Western theme park filled with robots called Hosts that may be becoming sentient.

Warning! Spoilers ahead for Young Sheldon season 6, episode 17. A moment in Young Sheldon season 6, episode 17 creates a The Big Bang Theory plot hole that also ruins one of Sheldon and Amy's most hilarious scenes. Despite being a late addition to the nerd-centric sitcom, Mayim Bialik's Amy quickly won the hearts of the audience as Sheldon's love interest. Throughout The Big Bang Theory 's 12-season run, CBS gradually developed the pair's romance which had its fair share of ups and downs. Often paired with each other, some of the funniest The Big Bang Theory bits featured both of them, including one that Young Sheldon recently contradicted.

Warning: SPOILERS for Ghosted! Dexter Fletcher, perhaps best known for character-focused films like Eddie the Eagle and Rocketman , bursts into the action genre with two of Hollywood's biggest stars.

The woman at the center of it: Sadie (de Armas), a girl whom Cole went on one date with before following her all the way to London.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness seemed to change the rules regarding two mystical texts, which might have opened the door for one of Marvel Comics' most powerful sorcerers to debut in the MCU. Sam Raimi's Doctor Strange sequel released on May 6, 2022, and found Benedict Cumberbatch's titular Master of the Mystic Arts traveling the multiverse with MCU newcomer America Chavez, played by Xochitl Gomez. Multiverse of Madness followed on from the events of Loki and Spider-Man: No Way Home , expanding on the mythos of the MCU's Multiverse Saga by introducing new realities and variants to Marvel Studios' franchise.

Ronald D. Moore's 21st-century Battlestar Galactica reboot cleverly avoided falling into a common sci-fi trap, which effectively future-proofed the show's presentation of technology. While the utopian ideals of shows like Star Trek remain relevant to today's society, the tech used by the lead characters can sometimes feel dated in comparison to the technology of the 2020s. For example, the multiple handheld PADD computers that Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) consults look dated in an age of iPads and smartphones which can easily store multiple Starfleet reports inside one handy device.

The director of Peter Pan & Wendy is speaking out to defend the casting choices for the Lost Boys. In Disney's live-action remake of the classic Peter Pan , Peter takes Wendy and her brothers to Neverland, where they encounter the unaging Lost Boys.

The Mustang had a fairly easy filming schedule regarding its locations, as the whole film took place at a prison. The 2019 film is based on a real-life rehabilitation program. In the film, Schoenaerts' character Roman is in prison for beating up his wife so badly that she now suffers from brain damage. While the film's story is fictional, the rehabilitation program that teaches prisoners to train wild mustangs is a real program across Arizona, California, Colorado, Kansas, Nevada, and Wyoming.

Indian Matchmaking season 2 featured Viral Joshi and Aashay Shah, and it's time to discuss the current relationship status of the two reality alums, who were still dating each other six months later, in season 3. Viral, based in North Carolina, was the star of the Netflix show in 2022. The Ovo-lacto-semi-vegetarian pharmaceutical developer from Durham was fiercely independent. Viral, 30, wanted a partner who would be Gujarati, taller than her (she's 5 feet 8 inches), and self-made too.

All signs point to more delays coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe , which means the Multiverse Saga slate of movies and shows could change release dates. Marvel Studios officially unveiled their plans for the Multiverse Saga at San Diego Comic-Con 2022, revealing over a dozen projects that would release in Phases 4, 5, and 6. That initial Multiverse Saga announcement has already changed multiple times in less than a year, as there have been MCU movie and show delays during that time, while other projects have shifted release dates. Now that Phase 5 is in motion, the likelihood of more MCU delays keeps rising.

The discussion around which of The Godfather films is better continues, as star Al Pacino weighs in with his thoughts on whether The Godfather Part II surpasses the 1972 original film.

Tom has been under fire for the last few months after his affair with fellow cast member Raquel Leviss while he was in a relationship with Ariana Madix.

In the midst of an international crisis, Kate Wyler (Keri Russell), a career diplomat lands a high-profile job for which she feels she is not suited in The Diplomat . She finds herself as the US ambassador to the UK, where she meets Austin Dennison (David Gyasi). This Netflix is a political drama, but also has quite a bit of humor as well.

While few details have been revealed about Bond 26 , the franchise should drastically change the tone of the series, and it could revisit the '60s. Now that Craig's tenure as the British spy has come to an end, it's time to move on from the dark themes of those films. The best way the franchise can do that is by returning to the series' most exciting decade, the 60s. The James Bond franchise became a phenomenon in the '60s, and the mix of action, ridiculous gadgets, globetrotting, and swagger changed the world. A modern Bond movie with a period setting would be completely unprecedented, and it has so much potential.

Avengers: The Kang Dynasty 's brand-new villains are the perfect threat to take on the growing ranks of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. The Council of Kangs, made up of countless variants of Kang the Conqueror (Jonathan Majors), is set to become the new antagonistic force of the Multiverse Saga, with their exploits spilling over into various MCU titles in Phase 5 and Phase 6. In addition to being an inventive exploration of how multiversal threats can affect Earth-616, the Council of Kangs serves a much more practical purpose in how Marvel Studios balances its ever-growing cast of superheroes, especially in massive team-up films like Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars .

The new trailer for FUBAR showcases Arnold Schwarzenegger's triumphant arrival in the first lead television role of his entire storied career.

The ensemble cast of the series also includes Jay Baruchel, Aparna Brielle, Andy Buckley, Milan Carter, and Schwarzenegger's Terminator: Dark Fate co-star Gabriel Luna.

Daredevil: Born Again is officially bringing Jon Bernthal's Punisher back into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but he might not be exactly the same as when he was last seen in Netflix's Defenders Saga. The gun-toting vigilante's MCU debut has been both highly anticipated and dreaded for years, amidst certain concerns about whether or not Marvel would tone down the character's more violent nature. While Marvel Studios and Jon Bernthal appear to be committed to remaining true to the Punisher's core character, it is reasonable to expect that some changes will be made in order for him to better fit the tone and scope of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The fourth and final DLC for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is set to release later this month, with both new characters and some familiar faces returning for Volume 4 of the Expansion Pass called Future Redeemed . Nintendo and the game's developer Monolith Soft announced that the DLC will also include some exciting new battle mechanics to increase the fun of combat.

Apart from moving to Palm Springs, she launched her brand, Miona Beauty, where she started selling hair extensions to her fans.

Upon its first release in 2012 and until its finale in 2015, The Hunger Games franchise has captivated young adult audiences and inspired the release of even more young adult dystopian films that are as enjoyable to watch. The Hunger Games is a four-movie franchise based on a young adult book trilogy of the same name by Suzanne Collins. The story follows Katniss Everdeen, a young woman living in a dystopian world who sacrifices herself to save her sister and in turn must enter a competition that is a fight to the death.

Although it’s been about 30 years between the first season of the show and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always , it’s a bit strange that the CGI effects haven't evolved much. While Mighty Morphin Power Rangers will always hold a nostalgic place in the Power Rangers canon, it’s also true that the effects and dialogue tended to err on the campy side. This is a positive feature of the series, but the effects have naturally improved with time. For that reason, there was obviously an expectation for the reunion movie to differ considerably from the original show in this regard.

Evil Dead Rise is both a fitting continuation of the iconic horror-verse established by Sam Raimi in the 1980s and a new vision told by a promising figure in modern horror. The first film in the franchise, The Evil Dead , was released in 1981 and spawned two direct sequels, a re-imagining, and a three-season television show before Evil Dead Rise came to be. Each entry in the franchise has done something decidedly new with the building blocks originally created by Raimi, but a tone and entertainment factor has persisted that makes Evil Dead, Evil Dead .

Disney Speedstorm is out now in early access for players to get in gear with its kart racing action featuring iconic characters of the Disney universe, and players can purchase the game as one of three Founder's Packs that offer special bonus content.

This early access period will run through the start of 2024 at least, but it isn't clear how long the Founder's Packs with their flashy extras will be available.

Two and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen and creator Chuck Lorre are reuniting for a new comedy series after their very public falling out. First airing on CBS in 2003, Two and a Half Men ran for 12 seasons before coming to an end in 2015. Sheen starred in the sitcom as Charlie Harper for eight seasons before a public meltdown and a series of disparaging remarks aimed at Lorre resulted in his character being written off the series.

Warning: SPOILERS ahead for School Spirits

A surprising The Lord of the Rings fan edit points out a pretty major flaw with Peter Jackson's trilogy. Based on the beloved fantasy novels by author J.R.R. Tolkien, the first of Jackson's three The Lord of the Rings films was released in 2001. The acclaimed trilogy concluded in 2003 with The Return of the King , which earned a record-breaking number of Academy Award wins and capped off what many consider to be the pinnacle of fantasy storytelling.

Gollum had a critical part to play in The Lord of the Rings , but his journey began long before the start of Frodo's (or even Bilbo's) adventures.

Sony's The Karate Kid featured a young Jaden Smith in its remake of the '80s original martial arts drama of the same name, but exactly how old was Smith when he portrayed the lead role of Dre Parker? The Karate Kid (2010) was quite distinct from the John G. Avildsen 1984 sensation that followed Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) to California where Okinawan immigrant Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) taught him the intricacies of karate.

Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies already corrected a problematic theme from the original film. Grease was a massive success when it was released in 1978, becoming the highest-grossing movie musical at the time.

The show takes place in 1954, but the characters have the mentality of women from the 2020s, making it more appealing to the new generation. Though Grease remains beloved, one storyline specifically wouldn't work today.
