Peacemaker star Jennifer Holland has set the bar pretty high for Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow.

"I can tell you that I have seen an enormous, enormous portion of the movie, and I am so excited for Man of Tomorrow," Holland tells GamesRadar+ at a screening of Supergirl. "It is different...I don't wanna say this. Ugh. It might be James's best… my favorite movie of James, and I haven't even seen the whole thing yet. I'm just... I love the movie. I'm really excited about it. It feels like a step up to me in a lot of ways. I'm excited for people to see it, and he's not done filming it yet."

Holland also added that Guardians of the Galaxy 3 might be her favorite Gunn movie... and with the implication that Man of Tomorrow might be even better than Guardians 3, I will absolutely be seated. No word yet if the actor will make an appearance as Emilia Harcourt in the Superman sequel, though that seems to be the rumor, given that we don't know if a third season of Peacemaker will happen.

Man of Tomorrow, written and directed by James Gunn, sees David Corenswet's Superman and Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor team up to take down supervillain Braniac, played by Babylon Berlin star Lars Eidinger. Supergirl is also set to make an appearance.

Man of Tomorrow hits theaters on July 9, 2027. Supergirl is in theaters now. For more, check out our guide to all the upcoming DC movies and shows for everything else the DCU has in store, or our guide to watching the DC movies in order for a marathon.

Stranger Things may have ended, but that won't stop Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour from reuniting in a brand new thriller show for Netflix.

Per Deadline, the series, loosely based on the Paul Warner novel A Spy in the Blood, follows Harbour as "disgraced FBI agent turned security expert Matt Wolfe" who is "drawn back into the world he left behind when his estranged daughter, Rebecca (Brown), now an FBI agent determined to follow in his footsteps, vanishes on a mission, forcing him back into a field that has evolved beyond him."

Jack Thorne, creator of the no. 2 Netflix series of all time, Adolescence, will serve as showrunner with A24 producing.

The news comes six months after the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, in which Brown and Harbour played adoptive father and daughter, Hopper and Eleven, for nearly 10 years. The series ended with quite the happy ending for Harbour's grumpy but lovable police chief, though we can't say the same for Brown's bald, telekinetic superhero.

"Father-daughter is where we live, but Netflix will always be our home," Brown said of the new collaboration. Harbour also recently teased the project in an interview with Variety, saying, "You'll see more of me and Millie. 10 years wasn't enough."

The untitled spy series not yet have a release date. Stranger Things seasons 1-5 are available to stream on Netflix, but the franchise lives on, as Stranger Things: Tales From '85 season 2 is in the works. For more, check out our guide to the best Netflix shows, and keep up with new TV shows

CD Projekt Red social media manager Marcin Lukasewski says Weak Kingsley, the first new character to be revealed in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners season 2 is relatable as hell because of his much older age.

"As someone who just got a bit older, Weak's character in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 resonates with me a whole lot. Can't wait for you guys to meet him when you watch the series!" Lucasewski wrote on Twitter. "He is cool, and for so many reasons!"

The first image of Weak comes from a video shown of the new cast at Annecy, courtesy of CD Projekt Red, which concealed their identities as silhouettes. The second revealed cast member is simply know as D. As we can see from the image below, there is still one more to be revealed.

Weak's character is particularly interesting given his much older age than the show's usual cast of teens... which is, indeed, pretty cool. D, with spikey hair and youthful stance, appears to be of the show's usual age range.

We don't know much else about the new season other than that there will be a "different crew and new standalone story set in Night City." A more concrete announcement is set to come out on June 29, with an Anime Expo panel to follow in July.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners season 2 currently does not have a release date (and neither does the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 sequel). For more, check out our list of new anime, as well as all the new PS5 games on the horizon.

House of the Dragon season 3 has introduced Ormund Hightower, and fans are loving him already.

In the season premiere, Ormund, played by James Norton, showed up very briefly as leader of the green army. While he hasn't done much just yet, he's already made a big impression with fans.

"Putting all my stock in the Ormund storyline," said one person on Reddit, with another saying: "He's awful, I lov[e] it lol"

"I like that they set him apart with the whole scented perfume thing I wonder if it shows off his pompous nature as Lord of Oldtown or if it's a genuine disability," says someone else – Ormund conspicuously sniffs perfume when a messenger comes to visit.

"I have no clue who he is cause I haven't read the book but this actor nailed the pompous elitist high born facial expressions. It was like a 2 minute scene and I love him and Daeron(?) already," says someone else. A fan theory that Ormund's squire is none other than Daeron Targaryen has sprung up since the episode aired.

"I’m just over the moon to James Norton in Westeros. He’s such an amazing actor and I’m glad to see him in the show," says someone else.

"Was sold on his character as soon as he said 'King, is he now?' and simultaneously made THAT Hoity-Toity face... Definitely here for it …," agrees another fan.

"He's won me over to team green with his smug aura and having Brasso as a pissed off sidekick," says another person, referring to Joplin Sibtain, who played Brasso in Andor.

Ormund is Alicent Hightower's cousin, and, with such a huge army at his back, we wouldn't count him out as the season goes on.

House of the Dragon season 3 continues weekly on HBO in the US and HBO Max, Sky, and NOW in the UK. You can keep up to date with our House of the Dragon season 3 release schedule. For even more, read our House of the Dragon season 3 review.

Good news Marvel fans, it sounds as though you won't have to wait two plus years for X-Men '97 season 3, as you did for season 2.

"Luckily, the production problems won’t occur again. There was a huge gap of time between [season] one and two. They’ve learned their lessons," said producer Larry Houston in an interview with The Direct. "So with [seasons] three and four, that won’t happen again… That was a one-off."

Season 1 landed on Disney Plus in March 2024 to glowing reviews, scoring a pretty much perfect 99% score on Rotten Tomatoes. In our X-Men '97 season 1 review, we awarded the freshman season 4.5 out of 5 stars, calling it "a seamlessly connected revival season that serves as a near-perfect reintroduction to one of Marvel’s best superhero teams."

The animated show was quickly renewed after that. But X-Men '97 Season 2 won't air until July 2026. That's over two years to wait for an animated series. However, Houston, who directed the original X-Men animated series back in the '90s, says the wait will be well worth it. "Trust me, as a fan, you will enjoy it," stated the producer. The second season has not hit Disney Plus just yet, but we have awarded it 4 stars in our X-Men '97 season 2 review.

Picking up from season 1's cliffhanger, X-Men '97 season 2 finds Cyclops, Jean Grey, Rogue, Beast, Nightcrawler, Charles Xavier, and Magneto scattered across time. But as the mutans must find a way home, back in the '90s, suspicious foes and new strains of mutant intolerance are on the rise in the wake of the X-Men's absence.

Beyond that, season 3 is already in production, and X-Men '97 season 4 has already been greenlit. But how quickly will Marvel be able to deliver the new seasons to the small screen? Whilst on The Escape Pod earlier this year, Head of Marvel TV Brad Winderbaum confirmed that both X-Men '97 and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man will get new seasons "every year moving forward."

X-Men '97 season 2 arrives on Disney Plus on July 1. For more, check out our guides on how to watch the X-Men movies in order and how to watch Marvel movies in order.

As a superhero movie-loving teenager, I had to be content with the fact that not many of my favorite films featured women in top billing. The closest I got during the early 2010s was Black Widow in Iron Man 2, who was a great hero, but felt very catered to the male gaze in that black catsuit…

Don't get me wrong, I still loved watching Iron Man, Captain America, and the Avengers movies. But something always felt missing: where was my version of a kick-ass hero? And where was one who wasn't in a skin-tight suit – and who wasn't constantly being asked in the press about losing weight to fit into said skin-tight suit, for that matter?

Things have started to shift in the past decade, with the release of Wonder Woman, Black Widow's standalone movie, Birds of Prey, and the Captain Marvel films. However, for me, nothing has quite captured my imagination in the way that the DCU's new Supergirl has.

Blasting onto the theater screen in a Blondie T-shirt to an incredible soundtrack, Milly Alcock's new take on Kara Zor-El has immediately become one of my favorite superheroes – and the fact she fronts such a female-led genre movie has healed something in my inner teenager.

Flawed and funny

Written by Ana Nogueira, Supergirl is based on Tom King's comic book run 'Woman of Tomorrow' and tells the story of a young girl called Ruthye whose whole family is killed by villain Krem. This sets her on a mission of revenge and she recruits Kara Zor-El along the way after her dog Krypto is caught in the crossfire and poisoned by Krem.

The premise sets up what those involved have called a "road movie", starring two women as the co-leads and focusing almost exclusively on their story. They're complex characters too, especially Alcock's Kara. Sick of living in the shadow of her "nerd" cousin Superman, we first meet her partying her life away on planets with red suns.

She doesn't have much figured out and she has a lot of trauma from her planet's destruction that she hasn't yet dealt with. As the movie's director Craig Gillespie told us in a recent interview, "She's complex, she's flawed, she's an anti-hero that's rebellious, and she's been through trauma – and that's bizarrely such human traits that you can recognize within yourself."

Alcock brings a lot of heart to the character, embodying all of these things pitch-perfectly, while also being, quite frankly, extremely cool. Not only does she have some awesome powers, but she's more often than not rocking up to a great soundtrack and proving to the many aliens she encounters that they're wrong to underestimate her.

Through her relationship with the young Ruthye, she also really grows throughout the film. Their dynamic forces her to recognise different character traits that she's been holding onto and allows her to navigate her own traumatic past a little better. By giving her someone to care for, she also relates a bit more to her well-meaning cousin, too, setting up a new dynamic with Clark Kent going forward in the DCU.

It's a complex arc and one that is handled thoroughly and satisfyingly by Alcock and Nogueira's script. There are male characters – most notably Matthias Schoenaerts' Krem and Jason Momoa's Lobo – but they are secondary to the story, and thankfully there is not even a whiff of a romantic storyline to be found in Supergirl.

Instead, the meat of the movie is all about its female leads, and even the subplots tackle feminist issues. There's a nasty underlying threat when the pair arrive on Bilquis where young girls are being trafficked as brides for the Brigands, giving extra weight to Kara and Ruthye's fight against Krem.

A new era

There's something to be said about the fact that the second film release in James Gunn and Peter Safran's hugely anticipated DCU is a female-led story. There have been little to no conversations about whether this is a risky strategy or what it could mean for the box office from the co-CEOs, as they have instead fully embraced the importance of women in the creation of their new superhero world.

Not only this, but the investment is already there in Alcock. Aside from her solo movie, she's already signed up for two more movies. As producer Lars P. Winther told The Hollywood Reporter: "So we have Man of Tomorrow, and we already know what the next movie’s going to be after that, and she’s a big part of that."

It feels like what Gunn and Safran are doing with the DCU is righting the wrongs that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has had to claw its way out of in more recent years. Female-led stories and interesting female characters are being woven into this new universe right from the beginning, not as an afterthought.

This all makes me so excited for young superhero-loving women today who get to grow up feeling part of these universes right from the start. I hope that Supergirl's ascent heralds a new era for this on-screen and based on the upcoming slate for the DCU, which features a new story for Wonder Woman on the roster, it's looking positive.

Live-action Ezra Bridger actor Eman Esfandi has posted a cryptic tease for Ahsoka season 2.

Esfandi made his live-action debut in the first season of the show, and he'll soon be returning when the show airs on Disney Plus early next year.

"'The pain you're feeling cannot compare to the joy that is coming' I tell myself as I await season 2," Esfandi wrote on Twitter.

The tease is so mysterious that even the official Star Wars account doesn't seem to know what to make of it, simply replying: "Eman"

Esfandi had a response, however: "Should've left that in the drafts my b"

At the end of Ahsoka season 1, Ezra safely made it back to the main galaxy by stowing away on Grand Admiral Thrawn's ship. But, Ahsoka Tano and Sabine Wren were left behind, along with Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati.

So far, Ahsoka season 2 is shrouded in mystery. What we know for sure, though, is that Hayden Christensen will return as Anakin Skywalker, Admiral Ackbar will face off against Thrawn, Rory McCann is taking over as Baylan from the late Ray Stevenson, and there will be battles across two galaxies.

"Anybody who saw the sequels knows that there's a First Order coming in, like, 20 years from where we are now in the storyline," The Mandalorian and Grogu director Jon Favreau has teased of the second Ahsoka season. "And then Ahsoka season 2 is coming out – which I've seen all of – and that's definitely more dealing with the larger [picture], a higher level. That's about the officers and we're the enlisted men – this is more of a ground-level experience of what's going on. You're seeing the backdrop – which, by the way, is what the first Star Wars started off as."

Ahsoka season 2 doesn't have a firm release date yet beyond early 2027. While you wait, check out our guide to all the upcoming Star Wars movies and shows for everything else the galaxy far, far away has in store.

Over six months after Stranger Things came to an end, Eleven star Millie Bobby Brown says only she and the show's creators know what really happened to her character.

"And you know what? The Duffer Brothers and I, we made a secret pact that we know the true ending," said Brown on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, adding that "whatever they choose to do with that information, they do," but she still hasn't told anyone. "Even my husband's like, 'Just tell me.'"

At the end of Stranger Things season 5, after defeating Vecna in the Upside Down and helping her friends get back to Hawkins, Eleven decides that the only way to close the gate to the Upside Down for good is to sacrifice herself as Hopper blows up the gate (you can read more on that in our Stranger Things season 5 finale ending explained).

However, later in the episode, Mike Wheeler tells the others that Eleven is still alive, and that Kali projected an image of Eleven inside the gate while the real Eleven escaped. Wheeler imagines his girlfriend living in rural Iceland. This left her fate pretty open-ended and convinced a lot of fans that the character may still be alive.

Back when the finale aired, the Duffer brothers revealed that they left Eleven's fate open so that viewers could choose for themselves what happened to her, but they know the truth. On the Happy, Sad, Confused podcast, Matt Duffer said, "This is ambiguous. I mean, you're writing from a point of view of understanding what the truth is and the reality is," adding, "I think it takes away the power of the ending if you tell people what you were thinking as you were writing it."

However, many fans were not too happy with the ending, which led to a widespread conspiracy theory known as Conformity Gate. Stranger Things fans were convinced that there was a secret ninth episode on the way, and that 'clues' from the final season pointed to Vecna tricking the audience. Alas, no other episode ever arrived. When Fallon mentioned the theory, Brown replied, "Oh my gosh! Shut up!"

Stranger Things seasons 1-5 are available to stream on Netflix, but the franchise lives on, as Stranger Things: Tales From '85 season 2 is in the works. For more, check out our guide to the best Netflix shows, and keep up with new TV shows

After breaking records in movie theaters, Demon Slayer Infinity Castle will soon be heading to streaming. The movie's release date was seemingly leaked by Amazon in Canada and it's arriving next month.

According to Canadian publication MobileSyrup, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle was listed as arriving on July 29, 2026 in Crunchyroll's streaming library. The news was confirmed in an Amazon Prime Video press release, which announced that it will be available for subscribers to the additional platform.

Interestingly, this date also links up the home entertainment release of the movie in Japan. There has been no confirmation yet whether this Crunchyroll release date will also be the same internationally as it seems Canada might have jumped the gun on the announcement as it hasn't been announced elsewhere. However, we'd bet that it will be arriving at a similar time on the anime platform for most subscribers.

All in all this means the streaming release is arriving about a year after its theatrical release date. The film was first released in Japan last July before heading to the US in September 2025. It was so popular that it even returned for more screenings in March 2026 as well.

The movie acts as the first part of a three-part film trilogy designed to conclude the Demon Saga anime show. This part covers the beginning of Tanjiro's, the Hashira's, and the Demon Slayer Corps' final battle against Muzan Kibutsuji.

House of the Dragon season 3's ratings are in, and the premiere's all-timer naval battle couldn't help it stack up against the second season.

As per Warner Bros. Discovery (via Variety), 21.5 million people tuned in across the first three days of availability for House of the Dragon season 3.

So, it's hardly sinking without a trace – but has suffered an 8% drop on House of the Dragon season 2's 23.4 million figure across the same three-day window in 2024.

All told, it's difficult to pinpoint why numbers have dropped. Variety has pointed to the World Cup being on – was Sunday's Uruguay vs. Cape Verde match really that big of a draw? – as a factor, though it's likely some felt dissatisfied by season 2's wheelspinning in Harrenhal with Matt Smith's Daemon Targaryen, as well as the continued years-long gaps between seasons.

There is also the small matter of Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin engaging in a one-sided public feud with showrunner Ryan Condal.

"It's worse than rocky," Martin told The Hollywood Reporter of their working relationship in January, "It's abysmal."

"I would give notes, and nothing would happen," Martin explained. "Sometimes he would explain why he wasn't doing it. Other times, he would tell me, 'Oh, OK, yeah, I'll think about that.' It got worse and worse, and I began to get more and more annoyed. Finally, it got to a point where I was told by HBO that I should submit all my notes to them and they would give Ryan our combined notes."

Whatever the behind-the-scenes tensions, that hasn't dimmed the critical reaction to House of the Dragon season 3, which exploded onto our screens with the Battle of the Gullet.

The latest season is currently sitting at 91% on Rotten Tomatoes, while our own four-star House of the Dragon season 3 review suggested "this could be the best season of a Westeros-set show in over a decade."

House of the Dragon season 3 is airing weekly on HBO, HBO Max, and NOW TV/Sky in the UK.

The second movie in James Gunn's DCU Chapter One has now hit screens worldwide, but one film critic has revealed that he was shown a cut of Supergirl at a screen test at the start of the year that included more scenes that didn't make the cut.

Warning: the following contains a few spoilers, so turn back now if you haven't seen the film. But make sure to read our Supergirl review first.

"The cut wasn’t very different than the one I saw earlier this week. Besides more scenes on Krypton and an alternate opening, it was the same film," said The Film Frontier's Dan Marcus on Twitter. Krem had more of his backstory cut from the finished film, though."

In the final cut, we first meet Krem as a murderous pirate scavenging for goods and collecting young women as brides to sell on his home planet. However, the movie doesn't really explain why he is the way he is. But according to Marcus, the test screen cut shone a light on Krem's motives. "He talked about how he was abused as a child, but how that upbringing made him stronger," said Marcus. "He revealed he was going to do the same with Ruthye, threatening to make her his wife."

According to Marcus, the original movie "started with the destruction of Krypton," rather than Supergirl waking up in her ship, followed by the harrowing scene showing Krem murdering Ruthye's family. But not all is lost, as the new cut added two more scenes featuring David Corenswet’s Superman, which we think will be important in the future as Supergirl kind of sets up the Superman sequel, 2027's Man of Tomorrow.

However, it doesn't sound as though we missed out on much, as Marcus confirmed the cut he saw was only around 10-15 minutes longer than the final product, and still had no Supergirl post-credits scene. Despite saying the original opening was "better," he added, "The finished film didn’t feel that much different than the cut I saw in February."

So, why did DC cut the movie down even further when it would have still been under 2 hours to begin with? In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, director Craig Gillespie said, "I hate a long film. Because it’s this road trip between two women [Milly Alcock and Eve Ridley]... The more that we kept it lean and true to just their mission, the better the film was. There is a ticking clock in this."

Supergirl is out in theaters now. If you have already seen the film, you can find answers to any burning questions you may have in our guides to the Supergirl ending explained, Supergirl Easter eggs and cameos, and differences between Supergirl and the Woman of Tomorrow comic.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners writer Bartosz Sztybor has revealed that an alternate fate was planned for David, but it's just as depressing.

Speaking to Anime Corner, Sztybor confirmed, "There was one ending in which David doesn't die entirely. Arasaka gets him, and he ends up fighting in Africa or South America in corporate wars as a robot."

In the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners ending that made it onto our screens on Netflix, David is brutally murdered by Atom Smasher, but not before putting up one heck of a fight against Arasaka's hired muscle. In an extra heart-wrenching twist, his partner Lucy visits the moon after his death, when their dream was to go together.

So, was the original ending a fate worse than death? Becoming a blunt weapon for Arasaka to wage corporate wars overseas would have been a uniquely deflating ending to the Cyberpunk anime, especially when so much of the franchise is already dedicated to showcasing how large global corporations are able to stomp the man on the street underfoot.

Let's hope Cyberpunk: Edgerunners season 2 is a little more upbeat. The new season, once again brought to life by Studio Trigger, is in the works and on the cusp of a reveal.

The first look at the main character was glimpsed this week at Annecy, with CD Projekt Red unveiling a more official look at another Night City denizen on social media. A more concrete announcement is coming on June 29, with an Anime Expo panel to follow in July.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners season 2 is currently undated, as is the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 sequel.

Don't go cyberpsycho while you wait: here are the new anime you can watch until then, as well as all the new PS5 games over the horizon.

Kane Parsons made no secret that he's a big fan of Portal on the press run for his new movie, Backrooms. He spoke openly about how the legendary puzzler franchise was a huge influence on his work, which started on YouTube and led to the acclaimed Backrooms, a thriller set in the liminal spaces of a furniture showroom.

There were some reports that he was considering directing a movie based on the IP, too, and now it seems like we've got our biggest tease yet that it could be happening. Posting on his Instagram, Parsons shared two images of himself at Valve HQ.

He didn't add a caption to his stories, but in light of what he's been teasing about his love of Portal, it has set speculation alight among fans. Posting on Reddit, one wrote: "He's gonna get to make his Portal movie.. Bet." Another agreed, adding: "He's gonna propose his Portal movie project to them, isn't he?"

Speaking earlier this year, Parsons said that Portal 2 was his biggest inspiration for his horror movie Backrooms. "Portal would be the earliest influence," he told Letterboxd. "It's like the strongest influence over, like, everything I've done in my entire life. It's a two-game series.

"So, if anything, I would say Portal 2 is the bigger inspiration for me... It's inherently comedic and absurd, and that’s what I like about it. So many bleak creative choices come from an inherent humor."

All signs are looking positive for a new movie. Watch this space. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the upcoming confirmed video game movies on the way.

Matt Damon's Odysseus is more of a Han Solo than a Luke Skywalker, according to Christopher Nolan.

The Odyssey tells the story of Odysseus's long journey home from the Trojan war, which brings him up against fantastical threats like a cyclops, sirens, and a vicious whirlpool in the ocean.

"When I finished the film I was quite struck by that. Every film I do, I like to leave it with questions or unanswered themes that I might carry through to the next film," Nolan told The New York Times, when asked about parallels between Oppenheimer and Odysseus's characters. "There's a lot of ideas of leadership, of mixed motivations, the flaws of people, that idea of where the best of intentions can go horribly wrong. Odysseus is a very complex character – a trickster, somebody who's smart and wily. In Star Wars terms, it's Han Solo – but Han Solo is not the hero of Star Wars, it's Luke Skywalker."

Starring opposite Damon are Anne Hathaway as Odysseus's wife Penelope, Tom Holland as his son Telemachus, Robert Pattinson as one of Penelope's suitors Antinous, Zendaya as the goddess Athena, Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy, Jon Bernthal as her husband Menelaus, and Benny Safdie as his brother and leader of the Greek army Agamemnon.

"Every location we would get there and I would just start laughing like, 'Who thought you should shoot a movie here?'" Damon has said of working with Nolan on the movie. "You know, we're shooting in Nestor's Cave in Greece. It's this incredible place but nobody's ever tried to shoot a film up there. So to see the rigging that they did to basically turn it into a natural sound stage, I don't know any other director who would try it."

The Odyssey arrives this July 17. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the most exciting upcoming movies to fill out your watchlist.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day may not be far away from arriving in theaters but a lot is still unknown about the latest entry in the webbed franchise. Understandably, this has led to a whole load of theorizing from Marvel fans, keen to try and work out what exactly the Marvel Phase 6 movie's big surprises are – and it turns out some of them are actually right.

"Some of the wildest fan theories are like weirdly accurate to what is happening in the movie," Holland told Vanity Fair France. "I feel like I don't want to give any fuel to the flames before the movie comes out." Holland, who has given away some pretty big reveals in the past then added when he was pushed on which ones, "I can't my lips are sealed."

Zendaya agreed, adding to the publication that some fans have been absolutely "spot on" with their ideas. "What Tom and I enjoy is looking at people's fan theories and thinking some are spot on, some are really far off and some have really great ideas," she added. "I'm not sure I can think of any off the top of my head but people are very creative. "

Now, we're racking our brains about what theories Holland and Zendaya might be referring to here as a lot of mysteries still exist around the movie. Chief among them are two questions: who is Sadie Sink playing and who is the movie's main villain?

A lot of speculation, ever since the Stranger Things star was announced, have suggested that Sink will be playing X-Men star Jean Grey. However, the latest trailer only showed a glimpse at her character and it's still not entirely clear who exactly she is.

Meanwhile, Holland recently confirmed that the movie's final villain still has not been confirmed. "The villain that we have in this new movie, which is still very much a secret, is, I think, unlike anything we've seen in one of these movies before," Holland teased to ProSieben.

There are plenty of adversaries that have been teased, including The Hand, Scorpion, Tombstone, Boomerang, Tarantula, and Ramrod. However, it seems none of these will be the main big bad that Holland's Spidey will face.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day arrives in cinemas in the UK on July 29 and in US theaters on July 31. For more upcoming superhero movies, check out our guides to all the upcoming Marvel movies and shows that have been confirmed.

Türkiye will be facing host nation the USA in the giant Sofi Stadium, aka Los Angeles Stadium, on the 26th of June, following in the footsteps of Taylor Swift and Ye – and this match could be just as entertaining as those concerts. This is the first time the two nations have faced off in a World Cup match and there will be a lot of pressure on the US team to deliver a victory in their home country – and Türkiye will be well aware that a good result here could set them in good stead for the rest of the tournament.

The US is currently ranked 16th in the FIFA rankings and Türkiye is ranked 25th; Türkiye has played in two World Cups, reaching 3rd place in 2002, and the US has played in 11, reaching the semi-finals in the very first World Cup back in 1930.

Although this is their first World Cup face-off the two nations have met one another four times from 1991 to 2025 in three friendlies and in the 2003 FIFA Confederations Cup, and they're very closely matched: the scores were a 1-1 draw in their first friendly and then 2-1 to Türkiye, 2-1 to the USA, and 2-1 to Türkiye again. If there's a pattern here then it's the US's turn to triumph, but of course there's far more to football than mere maths.

The Turkey vs USA match will take place on Friday 26 June. Kick-off is at 7pm ET / 3am BST / 12pm AEST. Here's how to watch Turkey vs USA wherever you are.

How to watch Turkey vs USA in the UK

It's ITV's turn to stream this World Cup game, so you'll be able to watch the Switzerland vs Canada match on ITVX. Kick-off is 3am UK time. If you're in Scotland, you'll need STV Player rather than ITV X: there's no difference in the streaming or commentary.

If you'll be away from the UK but still want to use your ITVX or STV Player app, you can stream via Norton VPN. That's a simple, solid and effective way to avoid geoblocking.

How to watch Turkey vs USA in Canada

How to watch Turkey vs USA in Australia

In something of a novelty, Australian viewers will be able to stream on the same calendar date as the US and UK: the kick-off here will be at 12pm AEST on Friday, 26 June and you can tune in live via SBS on Demand.

Lizzy Caplan is set to star alongside Rob Mac in Noah Hawley's Far Cry adaptation for Hulu.

Per a press release, the actor – whose 26-year career spans everything from Freaks and Geeks to Cloverfield – is set to star in an undisclosed role. We still don't know too much about the series yet, other than it will "retain Far Cry's signature standalone storytelling format with each season set in a new setting following a new cast of characters."

Based on the popular first-person shooter video game series of the same name, Far Cry was initially announced as an anthology series with each season featuring a new cast set in a new world. Noah Hawley serves as creator and showrunner, with Rob Mac (the artist formerly known as Rob McElhenney) starring and executive-producing under his More Bettter banner.

The first Far Cry game debuted in 2004, with each installment taking place in a different open world where survival is the goal (and there's multiple ending outcomes). My personal favorite is Far Cry 5, which takes place in the state of Montana which is overrun by a doomsday cult led by a man named Joseph Seed. No matter how you play the game, each outcome is a huge bummer (but I mean that in the best way).

Caplan's breakthrough role was Janis in the 2004 Tina Fey comedy Mean Girls, and she's gone on to star in everything from Cloverfield to Castle Rock, as well as the magician heist franchise Now You See Me.

The Far Cry show doesn't yet have a release date. While you wait, check out our guide to all the upcoming video game movies for all the other adaptations worth keeping your eye on.

The weekend is here, and as always, there is so much to watch. And while you might be feeling overwhelmed, we've rounded up the best picks of the week to help narrow down your choices so you can kick back, relax, and eat some popcorn.

Below, we've gathered the six best movies and TV shows from across all the best streaming services, and thrown them together with a handy description that includes where you can watch. If you're in the mood for some action-fantasy, lighthearted family-friendly comedy, or are absolutely dying to see Larry David in a powdered wig... we've got you covered.

Plus, there are some movies whose theatrical release you may have missed that have finally hit streaming. Whether you feel like taking a three-hour jaunt through a water-filled fictional CGI world, or watching a bunch of anthropomorphic sheep solve a murder, it's all down below for you.

Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2

Available: US/UK
Where to watch: Netflix

Not to be confused with the new animated series or forthcoming animated movie, Netflix's live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender is back for a second season. This time around, Aang (Gordon Cormier) and co. journey deeper into the Earth Kingdom to battle their enemy, Fire Lord Ozai (Daniel Dae Kim).

Early reviews for the new season have been overwhelmingly positive, with fans agreeing that Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 is a vast improvement on season 1. A third season is also on the way, which will conclude the series. After you finish season 2, I recommend firing up the original Nickelodeon cartoon, not just for comparison, but for an optimal double feature experience.

For even more, check out our list of the best Netflix shows.

The Bear season 5

Available: US/UK
Where to watch: Hulu

The fifth and final season of The Bear has arrived, and with a 100% Fresh Rotten Tomatoes score in tow. The Bear season 5 picks up the morning after the season 4 finale, in which Sydney (Ayo Edebri), Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), and Sugar (Abby Elliot) find out that Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) has quit the industry and left them the restaurant. Given that this is the end of the line for our favorite restaurateurs... it's their one last chance to get that Michelin star.

It was star Jamie Lee Curtis who officially spilled the beans that the show would end here after four years and countless Emmy and Golden Globe wins. Before you head into season 5, I recommend watching Gary, the Jon Bernthal-penned one-shot that hit Hulu earlier this year and serves as its own standalone companion to the final season.

For what else to watch, here's our pick of the best Hulu shows.

Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness

Available: US/UK
Where to watch: HBO Max

It's just as ridiculous as it sounds, and I mean that in the best way. Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness is a sketch show that takes place across several events in American history – and sees Larry David don a variety of powdered wigs.

Bill Hader and Kathryn Hahn play Abraham and Mary Lincoln, respectively, with John Hamm and Sean Hayes as the Wright Brothers. The impossibly stacked cast includes Lin-Manuel Miranda, Toby Huss, Isla Fisher, and former United States President Barack Obama. Michelle Obama also serves as executive producer.

Adventure Time: Side Quests

Available: US
Where to watch: Disney Plus

In case you've been missing Finn the Human, Jake the Dog, and co. since the flagship show went off the air in 2018, the boys are back town. Adventure Time: Side Quests is a prequel series that chronicles Finn's childhood and how he came to have that brotherly bond with Jake. John DiMaggio is back to voice Jake, but, because this is the tale of a tiny child version of Finn, Sasha Knight has taken over for Jeremy Shada.

All 10 episodes are currently available in the US only, but will drop internationally on Cartoon Network and HBO Max in October.

The Sheep Detectives

Available: US/UK
Where to watch: Prime Video

The Sheep Detectives might seem like a silly movie on the surface (and that might be because Patrick Stewart and Bryan Cranston provide the voices of anthropomorphic sheep), but it's actually a profoundly sad (but still funny) movie about grief. When their shepherd (Hugh Jackman) is mysteriously found dead, his flock launches an all-out investigation and goes on a murder-mystery adventure. The absolutely stacked cast includes Nicolas Galitzine, Emma Thompson, Bella Ramsey, Hong Chau, and Larraine Newman.

The film currently sits at a 95% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and has a 5/5 star review in my heart.

After this, give our guide on the best Prime Video movies a look.

Avatar: Fire and Ash

Available: UK/UK
Where to watch: Disney Plus

Fancy a trip to Pandora? Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third installment in James Cameron's blockbuster series, is set one year after the events of The Way of Water, and sees Jake and his family grapple with grief after Neteyama's death. Per the official synopsis, they "encounter a new, aggressive Na'vi tribe called the Ash People, led by the fiery tribe leader, Varang, who has allied with Jake's enemy, Quaritch, as the conflict on Pandora escalates to devastating consequences."

Avatar 4 and 5 may or may not be on the way, with the fifth movie slated for a 2031 release... yes, you read that correctly.

The reviews are in for Supergirl, and the new film is the first DCU movie to get a rotten score on Rotten Tomatoes.

That's a feat that took the MCU 13 years and 26 movies: it wasn't until 2021's Eternals that the Rotten Tomatoes score dipped below fresh.

Supergirl currently stands at a rotten score of 57% with 151 reviews. That might change if more reviews come in, of course, but it seems unlikely to cross the 60% fresh threshold, since most reviews are likely live by now (Supergirl previously moved up to a fresh score after debuting in the rotten zone, but dipped back down soon after).

Our own Supergirl review awards the movie 3.5 stars, and our verdict reads: "Superman's messier younger cousin in every way, Supergirl earns its Guardians of the Galaxy and Mad Max comparisons with a surprisingly dark (and sometimes downright gross) space adventure about revenge and finding your home."

Supergirl is only the second DCU movie, so this is an unfortunate milestone to hit so early. Superman stands at a healthier 83%, while Creature Commandos is at 95%, and Peacemaker season 2 is at 94%.

The film stars Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, who teams up with youngster Ruthye on a quest to save her dog Krypto after he is poisoned by the sadistic brigand Krem.

But, the future still looks bright for Kara. She's confirmed to appear in Man of Tomorrow, a sort-of-sequel to Superman, and she has another confirmed appearance after that, too.

"So we have Man of Tomorrow, and we already know what the next movie's going to be after that, and she's a big part of that," executive producer Lars P. Winther shared recently.

Supergirl is in UK cinemas now and US theaters from June 26. For more, check out our guide on how to watch the DC movies in order.

Long before Invincible landed on our screen as a series, creator Robert Kirkman had planned to make it into a movie. However, the comic book writer has revealed that he personally stopped it being made because he thought the script was so bad.

Speaking at the Annecy Animation Festival, he told crowds that the script was "absolutely horrible". He said, per Deadline: "It was just embarrassing, just bad. It was a fun lesson because you fight for the opportunity to write your screenplay and then you personally keep the project from happening because you did that."

Thankfully, it worked out for the best with Invincible now being one of Prime Video's most popular shows. The creators are currently working on season 5 but season 6 has just been announced too with The Boys star Jack Quaid joining the cast.

The idea of a live-action movie isn't out of the question either with Kirkman previously speaking about wanting to make it. Speaking earlier in 2026, he shared that the movie is still in development, but he doesn't really have any new updates yet.

"It's definitely a long process and it's something that hopefully will come together sooner rather than later," he told Screen Rant. "But our focus right now is on the show and making sure that the show is all it can be. But yeah, there's certainly movement here and there behind the scenes, but nothing that we can reveal just yet."

For more on what to watch now, check out our guide to the best shows on Amazon Prime as well as all the new anime you should have on your radar.

An animated series based on the best-selling comic Absolute Batman is in the works at Warner Bros and DC Studios – and the era of 'reimagined' Bruce Waynes is truly upon us.

Absolute Batman, created by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta, is a monthly superhero comic that stars a 24-year-old, blue-collar Bruce Wayne who works by day as a civil engineer and still has one living parent. The comic has been widely celebrated as a reimagining of the Batman mythos. You can check out the official series logo below.

The series was announced at the 2026 Annecy International Animation Festival, alongside a Joker anime and another animated series based on Krypto the Super Dog. This means there are a total of eight animated DC Studios shows, including My Adventure With Green Lantern, Starfire! Super Powers, Miata Miracle, and the already-airing Creature Commandos. Of the eight projects, it appears that Creature Commandos is still the only one canon to the DCU.

In this particular reimagining, Alfred Pennyworth, who narrates the series, is an M16 agent, the Joker is a billionaire, and villains like Catwoman, Riddler, and Killer Croc are some of Bruce's childhood friends. The latter of which is due to the fact that he grew up poor in Crime Alley (the street where Bruce's parents were killed in the original comic), rather than living in a mansion and mingling with other affluent families.

"Can’t even begin to tell you guys how excited Nick and I are to be working on this," Snyder wrote on Twitter. "So grateful to Warner Brothers animation and DC Studios!"

Absolute Batman does not yet have a release date. For more, check out our list of all the upcoming DC movies and shows.

We didn't see this one coming. The first DC Studios anime has been unveiled at Annecy International Animation Film Festival – and it's all about a Joker revenge quest.

As per the logline for Joker: Laugh Riot, "When Batman is murdered, the Joker launches a ruthless crusade through Gotham’s underworld to find the killer who took away his greatest adversary. But as his violent quest for answers pushes him closer towards vigilante than villain, Joker is forced to confront the truth that without Batman, he doesn’t know who he is."

The project, seemingly not tied to the DC cinematic universe that James Gunn and Peter Safran are crafting with Superman, Supergirl et al on the big screen, is being directed by Yasuhuro Aoki.

Aoki helmed last year's Chao and even has past history with the Caped Crusader as part of 2008 animated anthology Batman: Gotham Knight. There, he directed the fourth entry, which saw Kevin Conroy's Batman take on the Scarecrow.

DC dipped into anime just a few years ago with Suicide Squad Isekai, but this is its first extensive in-house production, complete with a killer premise.

Long-time Bat-fans will be acutely aware, however, that Batman dying and even Joker trying to interrogate his killer is nothing new.

Batman: The Animated Series even featured a classic episode titled 'The Man Who Killed Batman'. The Clown Prince of Crime grows increasingly frustrated by the idea that hapless criminal Sid the Squid managed to defeat Batman once and for all.

Joker: Laugh Riot is currently undated, but stick with GamesRadar+ for updates as we hear more.

We have good news for One Piece fans overseas, as Netflix has confirmed a release date for One Piece Heroines, and it's less than one week after it drops in Japan.

On June 25, Netflix took to Twitter to confirm that the upcoming special episode of One Piece will land on the streamer on July 11. That's just six days after it airs in Japan on the evening of July 5. Check out the post below.

The special episode is set to follow the female leads of the One Piece series. The synopsis reads, "After buying a pair of shoes that end up hurting her feet, Nami returns to the shop feeling dissatisfied. There, she meets Lebno, the designer, who tells her, 'I’ll make you a brand-new pair from scratch—but only if you’ll be my model.' The shoes are crafted by the artisan Miucha, leading to an unexpected and stylish encounter."

One Piece released the first teaser on June 23 over on YouTube, which saw Nami make her high fashion debut, and features the episode's theme song 'Blue Shining Star' by AiNA THE END. You can watch the teaser trailer below.

The episode is titled Nami, adapting the character's One Piece Heroines story. However, the novel also focuses on different adventures following three other One Piece Heroines, so there's plenty of content to adapt in the future. Although Nami's story revolves around fashion, Robin's story sees her decipher an ancient tablet, whereas Princess Vivi receives a love letter from an admirer, and Ghost Princess Perona goes after the last bottle of wine.

The news of Netflix's Heroines release date comes just one day after the streamer released the first The One Piece teaser. The upcoming show will act as a remake of the original anime series, adapting the legendary manga by Eiichiro Oda. However, The One Piece will tell the same story in fewer episodes, meaning that new fans can catch up with the franchise without having to watch 22 seasons of the main show. Of course, Nami will also appear in The One Piece, which hits Netflix in February 2027.

Back in 2020, The Mandalorian season 2 broke the internet when it brought back Luke Skywalker in the finale. The cameo was a total secret, even to the actors on set, bar Pedro Pascal.

But, Ming-Na Wen, who plays Fennec Shand in the Star Wars universe, has revealed she knew the truth the whole time.

"Oh, I knew it was Luke. How could you not? The glove, the lightsaber, the R2-D2 that they painted freaking green," Wen said in conversation with Katee Sackhoff, who plays Bo-Katan Kryze (and had no idea they were dealing with Luke Skywalker). "I just turned to Jon [Favreau] and Dave [Filoni], I'm like, 'Are you kidding me?'"

The cover story was this mysterious Jedi was none other than Plo Koon, who died during Order 66 – a story Sackhoff apparently believed.

"I'm like, 'Come on. It's R2-D2.' They're like, 'No it's not,'" Wen added, confirming no one would tell her the truth in the moment. Check out the conversation below.

In the finale, Luke Skywalker showed up to save Mando, Grogu, Cara Dune, Bo-Katan, Koska Reeves, and Fennec Shand from the Dark Troopers.

"But even when they didn't admit it, I didn't know how they were going to present it," Wen added. "So, I was very surprised, because I didn't see all those other stuff… It was amazing. I still cried and freaked out."

Luke Skywalker showed up again in The Book of Boba Fett, but hasn't been seen since – though a Star Wars fan spotted a background detail in The Mandalorian and Grogu that might have hinted at his presence on Adelphi Base.

The Mandalorian and Grogu is currently in theaters, and, right now, we don't know what's next for Din Djarin and Baby Yoda. The next Star Wars release is Ahsoka season 2, which is arriving in early 2027.

In the meantime, check out our guide to all the upcoming Star Wars movies and shows for everything else the galaxy far, far away has in store.

The Walking Dead's Robert Kirkman may not be a stranger to killing off beloved characters, but he knows who the real maester is: Game of Thrones' George R.R. Martin.

Speaking at Annecy (via Deadline), Kirkman said, "He is the master and I am but the learner. He is way better at killing characters than me."

But that's not for want of trying. While Martin may have made his name by putting characters on the chopping block – Ned Stark, Jon Snow (before his revival), and Joffrey Baratheon among them – Kirkman reveals he has a twisted sense of bloodlust, especially surrounding the AMC adaptation of his ever-popular The Walking Dead comic.

“When we started on Walking Dead I was the lunatic in the writers' room who was like, 'I don't know, just kill the main character, who cares? We'll do something weird.'"

That even extended to "pushing to kill Daryl Dixon for a while." Norman Reedus' Daryl Dixon went on to become a fan favorite, eventually starring in three seasons of his own spin-off series with a fourth on the way.

Kirkman added, "Any character in The Walking Dead, at some point I was in the writers' rooms saying, 'Why don't we kill them today?'"

The Walking Dead writer has continued his killstreak on the small screen with Invincible, which has left plenty of crushed skulls and unspooled organs in its wake.

But George R.R. Martin's work is matching him death for death. He may no longer be involved in the series after behind-the-scenes drama with showrunner Ryan Condal, but House of the Dragon season 3 featured plenty of casualties in its Battle of the Gullet premiere. One actor involved even revealed they had a specific request for their death scene.

For our verdict, check out the House of the Dragon season 3 review. If you're still playing catch up on Kirkman's bloodletting, we have a guide the best way to watch The Walking Dead in order.

It looks like Netflix's upcoming The One Piece remake won't stray too far from the original anime, as the series has cast the original voice actor behind Monkey D Luffy.

The official One Piece Twitter page broke the news, writing, "The Japanese voice cast for Monkey D. Luffy is confirmed to be Mayumi Tanaka."

The star provided a comment on her return, saying, "I'm happy to once again take part in a new series, The One Piece, as Luffy. While taking on a new challenge at this age brought some anxiety, the experience itself has been full of new insights. It has truly renewed my spirit in playing Luffy." Check out the post below.

Tanaka was first brought on board to voice Luffy 27 years ago for the original One Piece series, but has since starred in spin-offs such as One Piece Film: Gold, One Piece Film: Red, One Piece: Stampede, and many more One Piece titles. The wider voice cast has yet to be announced, but thanks to the first The One Piece teaser, we know that main characters Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji will appear.

Much like the 1999 One Piece anime, which is still running, The One Piece adapts the legendary One Piece manga by Eiichiro Oda. So why bother making another anime series when one already exists? Well, The One Piece will differ from One Piece in a number of ways. First up, The One Piece is made by Wit Studios and will cover the source material at a much faster rate, meaning new fans can get involved with the franchise without having to watch 22 seasons of the original anime.

Directed by Masashi Koizuka, The One Piece season 1 is set to adapt the first 50 chapters of the original manga, which is about halfway through the East Blue saga, leading up to Luffy’s encounter with Sanji, the sous chef of the floating restaurant Baratie. The One Piece season 1 will consist of 7 episodes, which is pretty speedy as the original One Piece anime covers up to 8 chapters in its first 7 episodes.

The One Piece is set to premiere on Netflix in February 2027. For more, check out our guide on how to watch One Piece in order, and keep up with new anime on the way.

The second movie in DCU Chapter One is finally here. But, although Supergirl is a standalone movie, it does technically follow on from last year's Superman. But does it set up the Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow?

Starring Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, the new movie picks up around a year after Superman, as Supergirl celebrates her 23rd birthday with more partying. But the hero is soon pulled out of her rut when tragedy strikes too close to home, putting her dog Krypto in grave danger. She must join forces with unlikely companions Jason Momoa's Lobo and Eve Ridley's Ruthye for an interstellar journey of vengeance and justice.

This isn't the first time we have seen Alcock take flight, as the star made her Supergirl debut in Superman, and David Coresnwet returns the favour by making a cameo or two in the new movie. But Superman didn't really set up Supergirl, so does the new movie follow suit? Below, we break down if and how Supergirl sets up Man of Tomorrow. For more, check out our Supergirl review and Supergirl ending explained.

Does Supergirl set up Man of Tomorrow?

Technically speaking, no, Supergirl doesn't really set up Man of Tomorrow in the traditional sense. There is no Supergirl post-credits scene teasing how the Superman sequel starts. Plus, the movie takes place over just three days around Supergirl's 23rd birthday, which would be September 2026 on the DCU timeline. Thanks to James Gunn confirming Man of Tomorrow's timeline, we know it will take place more or less in the present time, in Summer 2027. So, anything could happen in the 10-month gap. However, Supergirl will appear in Man of Tomorrow.

The movie does set up Supergirl's future. Supergirl ends with Kara returning to Earth with Krypto, where she tells her cousin Clark Kent that she is going to stay for a while. Earlier in the movie, we see that Kara didn't take too well to life in Metropolis when she first landed from her home planet, Krypton. After that, she went off on her own into space. But her intergalactic journey hunting Krem must have changed her tune.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Supergirl executive producer Lars P. Winther all but confirmed Supergirl will still be earthside in Man of Tomorrow. "Man of Tomorrow, which is what we’re shooting now, [Alcock] is in that movie," said Winther. "[Supergirl] ends a particular way, and you see where she’s going to end up. She’s done her wild ways, and now she’s going to try to get back in with her cousin and be more on Earth again. That’s where she is in Man of Tomorrow. It’s all more Earth-based."

Now that Supergirl is on Earth, she can help her cousin fight Brainiac in the upcoming sequel. After all, at the end of the movie, Kent tells Kara that he could have used her help on the "last one." We presume the "one" he is referring to is Lex Luthor.

Supergirl is out in cinemas in the UK, and hits US theatres on June 26. For more, check out our guide on how to watch DC movies in order, and keep up with upcoming DC movies and shows.

Supergirl is now out in theaters and given the trend of superhero movies these days, you'll likely be wondering whether or not there is a Supergirl post-credits scene.

This will especially be the case after Superman featured two different stings at the end of its run last year. Well, if you're looking for answers then you're in the right place as below we get into all the details you need to know below.

Not only this, but we have split this guide across spoiler-free and spoiler-heavy sections. This means if you're just about to head to a screening, you'll know whether you need to stick around to the end or not. If you've seen the latest DCU movie as well, then you can skip right ahead to our spoiler section where we get into details about the ending of the movie.

Does Supergirl have a post-credits scene?

No, Supergirl does not have a post-credits scene. Unlike Superman, which had a mid-credits and a post-credits sting, the Milly Alcock-led film ends when the credits roll. You're more than welcome to sit through the whole credits though as if you do, you'll be treated to Claudia Sarne's wonderful score.

Why doesn't Supergirl have a post-credits scene?

This is the million-dollar question. It's not quite clear why Supergirl doesn't have a post-credits scene, as it was teased prior to release that it would. Only one month ago director Craig Gillespie confirmed that Supergirl would have a post-credits scene. Speaking to Collider, he did suggest that the film would have one post-credit scene but said he couldn't "tease" its contents.

There have also been some reports that Supergirl did have a post-credits scene during test screenings, but this was removed before the final cut. However, there has been no confirmation on that either way as of yet.

One possibility is that the events of the post-credits scene might have actually worked their way into the main runtime of the movie. This could be the case as the movie's final scene could also have worked as a post-credits scene.

What happens at the end of Supergirl? *SPOILERS*

Given there is no post-credits scene, it's worth diving into the movie's ending a little bit. After celebrating her birthday with Ruthye, Kara Zor-El heads back to Metropolis where she reunites with her cousin, Kal-El – or Clark Kent. She's brought Krypto along with her and has decided that she's keen to stay awhile.

While this doesn't directly set up the events of Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow, we do know that Alcock's Supergirl will be involved in that movie. Therefore, the pair teaming up to fight crime across Earth seems to be where the sequel could begin.

Take a deeper dive into what happens in our Supergirl ending explained.

Supergirl is out in UK cinemas now and arrives in US theaters on June 26. For more, check out our Supergirl review as well as our breakdown of how to watch the DC movies in order and all the upcoming DC movies and shows you need to know about.

Supergirl writer Ana Noguiera has revealed that DCU co-president James Gunn got involved with Superman's appearance in the new DC movie.

"He is protective of Superman," Noguiera confirmed, when asked by Brandon Davis if that was the case. "There is like a couple things in other moments where he was like, 'He wouldn't say that to her.' And I was like, 'Okay cool.' But, mostly we had the same idea."

It makes sense that Gunn would be protective over Kal-El, since he wrote and directed the 2025 film that launched the theatrical side of the DCU.

Superman appears briefly in Supergirl, and he'll next be seen in 2027's Man of Tomorrow. In that film, he'll be forced to team up with his nemesis Lex Luthor in a battle against Braniac.

Supergirl is also set to appear in Man of Tomorrow, and, by the sounds of things, she might be at odds with her cousin Superman.

"I do think that this Supergirl is apart because she's not so much like Superman. She's very, very different from her cousin, which puts them at odds, which is a big part of this movie, and then an even bigger part of Man of Tomorrow, which we're filming now," Gunn has previously teased of the movie.

Supergirl sees Kara Zor-El on a mission to save her dog Krypto from a deadly poison administered by the brigand Krem, while her young companion Ruthye seeks revenge on the same man for slaughtering her family.

The film is in UK cinemas now and US theaters this June 26. In the meantime, check out our Supergirl review for our spoiler-free verdict on the film, or our guides on all the upcoming DC movies and how to watch the DC movies in order.

More details about Avengers: Endgame's upcoming re-release have been revealed – and it sure sounds like it's tying into Avengers: Doomsday in a big way.

As per Deadline, those watching Endgame in Disney's new 'Infinity Vision' large format will be treated to 'a custom introduction, additional new footage, and a special end tag exclusive to Infinity Vision and IMAX releases.' As if to really hammer home the freshness, Mjolnir-style, Avengers: Endgame's re-release comes with its own special title – Avengers: Endgame Encore.

So, those watching in a regular screening (it's currently unclear as of writing which screens will carry Infinity Vision) won't have the end tag included. Hopefully that doesn't mean audiences will be missing out on what appears to be a major link to the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.

Speaking at Sands Film Festival in April (also via Deadline), Doomsday co-director Joe Russo explained that the re-release would be an "opportunity to create a bridge from Endgame to Doomsday in a very unique way."

Russo added, "You don’t always get the chance to re-release because it costs money, so the fact that we can enhance the story of Doomsday by bridging it to Endgame and these characters that we worked with for years that we love so much, and continue their story: It's a really unique opportunity."

Avengers: Doomsday is under six months away and, so far, we've seen precious little of the crossover that will introduce Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom to the MCU.

Four teasers were attached to screenings of Avatar: Fire and Ash across January and December, while a CinemaCon trailer was released behind closed doors. Since then, however, we've had little to go on – except a bizarre coffee pop-up event. Expect San Diego Comic-Con in July to provide the goods. We hope.

If not, it might be a long, long wait until Avengers: Endgame Encore hits cinemas in the fall.

Avengers: Doomsday hits cinemas on December 18. For more, check out the full list of upcoming Marvel movies in the works.

Following the first look at Annecy, Netflix has confirmed that Cyberpunk: Edgerunners season 2 is on its way, and the first trailer is imminent. In a post on Instagram, we got a new poster and a tease asking fans if they're "ready to meet the crew" as well as promising a trailer coming on June 29.

The poster doesn't reveal too much aside from showing us a new look at Night City. It also seems like there may be a stream of blood falling on the left-hand side and, as fans know all too well, there are no happy endings in Night City. Check it out below.

Some fans have been speculating that there might be a hidden message in the new look. Posting on Reddit, one noticed that the way 'Cyberpunk: Edgerunners II' is written makes it look like 'Cyberpunk Edgerunners 71'.

"It's heavily theorized that it's intentionally stylized like that to tease a 2071 setting," they speculated, suggesting that the second season could be a prequel. The exact timeline of the new episodes has not yet been confirmed, but we do know it will be telling a fresh story set in Night City and focusing on a new cast of characters.

The first-look image might have even revealed the new character replacing David in the lead role as a young woman with short blonde hair. It seems like all will be revealed soon as a first major look at the anime series arrives in just a few days' time.

In the meantime, check out our guides to the best new anime on the way as well as our pick of the best shows on Netflix.

Netflix's live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender will always be directly compared to the animated Nickelodeon series it so closely adapts; such is the fate of all adaptations. Does it hew too closely to the original or go too far afield? That's the constant question, and a fair one, for any media directly recreating another. The second season of Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender chooses to play it safe, by and large, making for an experience best described as "fine."

I'm somewhat repeating myself from my Avatar: The Last Airbender season one review, but it is as true here as it ever was. The previously described "harmonious middle ground" that's being attempted here continues, and with slightly better results overall. It never quite reaches the highs of the material it's adapting, but this second season also avoids the lowest dips of the first.

If you're not already familiar, the second season follows Aang (Gordon Cormier) and his pals as they traverse the Earth Kingdom in search of someone to teach the Avatar-in-training earthbending now that he's mastered waterbending from Katara (Kiawentiio). They encounter the blind earthbender Toph (Miyako) and convince her to teach him. Eventually, the Gaang end up in Ba Sing Se, home of the Earth King, in order to convince him to join the war against the Fire Nation. Meanwhile, Zuko (Dallas Liu) and Iroh (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee) pose as refugees themselves in the Earth Kingdom while being hunted by Zuko's sister, Azula (Elizabeth Yu).

Again, this is basically the exact plot description for Book Two of the animated Avatar: The Last Airbender series. The biggest difference between the two isn't even the medium; it's the fact that the live-action version is actually shorter. The animated series had a luxurious 20 episodes to cover the same material, while Netflix only grants 7, making for a remixed and much-trimmed Earth Kingdom experience.

Minor tales of Ba Sing Se

The effect this concentration produces is stifling. While individual performances from the actors are more easy and affable than the first season, it's hard to avoid the feeling that Ba Sing Se – billed as an absolutely massive city with impenetrable walls – is composed of roughly five separate rooms shot from different angles and a single outdoor market.

It doesn't help that many of the visual effects, be it fights, critters, major structures, or so on, often also look a bit off. There's regularly an overwhelming sense that it's all happening on a stage and nothing is real, which might be true but is kind of the opposite of what you want to imply. I would not go so far as to say my disbelief was ever really suspended.

That's not to say it's all bad. Despite the pressure of the condensed narrative and any issues with the visual effects or sets, plenty of character moments manage to shine regardless. Avatar, as a franchise, might be known for its spectacular elemental martial arts, but it's also known for being just as good at emotional throughlines. Dallas Liu, in particular, makes an absolute meal out of Zuko's torment between right and wrong, love and acceptance, throughout the season. Ian Ousley's Sokka also lands his beats more often than not, from silly goofs to direct lifts from the animated series, to meaningful moments exploring trauma.

Down to earth

Going into this season, my biggest concern was Toph, Aang's acerbic and tough earthbending teacher. In animation, it's easy enough to have a blind character who can see through vibrations, but it's another boulder of a problem to try and accomplish the same in a live-action adaptation, while also covering all the sociological elements involving her background and family. But from the moment Miyako steps into a scene, she owns it, which is honestly very Toph-like behavior.

Unfortunately, and perhaps most concerningly, the chemistry between Aang and Katara just doesn't work. It's the clearest example of the effect that squeezing the season's material down has had; without more time to explore what the two of them mean to each other, the major beats in season two come across as hollow or saccharine. And yet the relationship between those two massively underpins a lot of this season without ever being explicit, but it goes on to become even more of an element in the parts of Avatar that the live-action Avatar has yet to adapt.

There are a couple of aspects I won't spoil here that do work quite well thanks to this remixing, but it's few and far between. More than anything else, Netflix's live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 makes me a bit worried about Season 3's attempt to bend and shape the source material into some kind of conclusion, but it's an inoffensive experience.

Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 is streaming now on Netflix. For more, dive into our spoiler-filled Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 ending explained, or here's everything we know about Avatar: The Last Airbender season 3.

Avatar: The Last Airbender season 3 is on the way. In fact, it's already been shot! Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 has just hit Netflix, but seasons 2 and 3 of the live-action adaptation were filmed back-to-back, meaning season 3 is sitting on a hard drive somewhere right now. The fact we're not already watching it is a painful thought.

Set to cover the events of Book 3: Fire, Avatar: The Last Airbender season 3 will relocate the action to the Fire Nation, with the Gaang taking the fight to Fire Lord Ozai. Of course, it's never that simple, especially with Zuko now back fighting for his fiery home team. You can catch up on everything that went down at the climax of the latest season with our Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 ending explained.

So head below for everything you need to know about the live-action adaptation of one of the best Netflix shows of all time. We've got all the details on the Avatar: The Last Airbender season 3 release date, casting, plot, and more. We've also kept this piece as spoiler-free as possible, so if you've yet to see the animated show, you won't have the big surprises spoiled. Yip yip!

Avatar: The Last Airbender season 3 release date speculation

Avatar: The Last Airbender season 3 is currently undated with no suggestion of when it could release. But we might not have as long to wait for the third and final season as you might think.

That's because seasons 2 and 3 of Avatar: The Last Airbender were shot back-to-back, and filming on season 3 was completed back in November 2025. Season 1 of Avatar: The Last Airbender released on February 22, 2024, and season 2 released on June 25, 2026, a little over two years later. Therefore, it's reasonable to expect that we could see Avatar: The Last Airbender season 3 in early 2028, or possibly even 2027.

Avatar: The Last Airbender season 3 plot

Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender is a relatively faithful retelling of the classic Nickelodeon cartoon's overarching story. So we have a pretty good sense of what season 3 will cover.

Book 3: Fire is about Aang learning the last of his abilities as Avatar – firebending – in order to defeat Ozai and the Fire Nation before the arrival of Sozin's Comet renders the Fire Lord unstoppable. In parallel, it covers Zuko's conflicted feelings about returning to the Fire Nation after siding with Azula over Aang, Katara and Iroh at the climax of Book 2: Earth.

We won't go into too much detail beyond that; the twists and turns of Book 3 are best discovered in the moment if you've never seen the animated series before. If you have, you might be wondering how the Netflix show will squeeze all the events covered across the animated show's 21-episode final season into its respective season 3. The answer is: they won't.

"We made a lot of conscious choices about what things work better in animation that we wouldn't want to touch, and what things maybe couldn't be explored in enough depth in animation that we could [then] explore with live action, live bodies on live sets and locations," Executive Producer Christine Boylan told GamesRadar+ of the approach to adapting season 2. It's reasonable to assume that the creative team behind the Netflix show is taking the same approach to season 3, given both seasons were written simultaneously.

While there have been some controversial omissions from the Netflix show (Appa's Lost Days being a major Book 2 casualty), for the most part, all the key events across Books 1 and 2 of the animated show were incorporated into the live-action show. In adapting Book 3, we wouldn't be surprised to see episodes that don't directly fuel the main thrust of the story dropped, such as 'The Beach' or 'The Runaway'. One episode we know will be making the leap to live action in some form, however, is Sokka's Master, as Jon Jon Briones is set to play Fire Nation sword master Piandao in the new season.

One important fact that should help in adapting Book 3 is that there are several multi-episode arcs this season, including The Day of the Black Sun, The Boiling Rock and Sozin's Comet, which more naturally lend themselves to depicting in a single episode, though don't be surprised if the epic finale stretches across two.

Avatar: The Last Airbender season 3 cast

All your favorite members of the Gaang will return for Avatar: The Last Airbender season 3. And, rather helpfully, Netflix announced the new cast members joining seasons 2 and 3 at the same time back in May 2025, so now that we've seen season 2, we can definitively say who will be appearing for the first time in season 3.

Of the confirmed newbies, Jon Jon Briones Pianadao does not appear in season 2 and is being held for season 3. Piandao has an important connection to Sokka, and a significant role to play in the war against the Fire Nation. Tantoo Cardinal's Hama will also debut in season 3, and has a similarly important role to play in Kitara's story, but we won't say any more than that.

The full, confirmed cast so far then (note: while there are several cast members who have appeared in previous seasons that we expect to appear in season 3 if it sticks to the letter of the animated show, we've left some names out that could be considered spoilers):

• Gordon Cormier as Aang
• Kiawentiio as Kitara
• Ian Ousley as Sokka
• Miyako as Toph Beifong
• Dallas Liu as Zuko
• Paul Sun-Hyung Lee as Uncle Iroh
• Daniel Dae Kim as Fire Lord Ozai
• Elizabeth Yu as Azula
• Momona Tamada as Ty Lee
• Thalia Tran as Mai
• Danny Pudi as Sai
• Terry Chen as Jeong Jeong
• Jon Jon Briones as Pianadao
• Tantoo Cardinal as Hama

When can we expect the One Piece season 3 trailer?

In terms of when we're likely to see an Avatar: The Last Airbender season 3 trailer, the answer is a little complicated and will depend on when Netflix announces a season 3 release date.

The first teaser for Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 dropped on December 10, 2025, over 6 months before season 2 went on to release. That's pretty early for a modern streaming series, particularly given that the year-long production on seasons 2 and 3 was only completed a month prior, on November 11.

Season 3 filming is long complete then. And while VFX and post production work is ongoing, it's possible that – if Netflix wanted – we could see an Avatar: The Last Airbender season 3 trailer sooner than later. If the show sticks to its curretn 2-year release cycle, expect a trailer to drop late 2027.

Is Avatar: The Last Airbender season 3 the final season?

Yes, Avatar: The Last Airbender season 3 is the final season of the Netflix adaptation. This mirrors the original animated show, which unfolded across three seasons (or 'Books').

While there is a sequel show, The Legend of Korra, set some 70 years after the events of The Last Airbender, which ran for four seasons of its own, and multiple canon sequel comics, which continue the story of the Gaang, there has been no suggestion so far that Netflix plans to adapt those (though we'd love to see a live-action Korra series). Either way, the story of The Last Airbender will be completed in season 3.

Tom Holland says the new Spidey suit is an homage to all of the live-action Spider-Mans... and this makes me even more stoked for Brand New Day.

"When we decided that we're going to make Spider-Man: Brand New Day, we said, what if we made a suit that was an homage to Tobey and Andrew's designs because my Peter Parker had met those guys. So we kind of created a Spider-Child of all three costumes," Holland explains in a new behind-the-scenes video.

Director Destin Daniel Cretton points out that we can see the "human" beneath the costume, meaning there's no face shield underneath the mask that gives it that weird jawline (and further conceals Spider-Man's identity). You can watch the video below.

With a new suit comes new, uh, features, seeing as Peter Parker can shoot his own webs now rather than rely on web-technology that he created himself (much like Tobey Maguire's Spidey). In the newest trailer, Peter goes to none other than Dr. Bruce Banner for help with his suddenly changing powers, though Bruce warns him that they kinda can't be contained (and he would know, given that he's the Hulk and all).

New suit, new powers, and a brand new villain (who is definitely Sadie Sink), though we still don't know if she's playing Jean Grey or a Dark Phoenix variation or even Madelyne Prior, or what.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day hits theaters on July 31. While we wait, check out our guide to all the upcoming Marvel movies or our breakdown on how to watch the Spider-Man movies in order.

Original He-Man actor Dolph Lundgren says he was disappointed that the new Masters of the Universe movie didn't fare better at the box office.

"Yeah, I was a bit disappointed. I mean, everybody told me it’s going to do great," Lundgren told ComicBook. "I’m not a huge believer in looking at the box office and that influencing how I feel that much emotionally about the picture. But I did think about it like, 'Oh, okay. Um that was strange that didn’t do better.' And I don’t know why that is. They did a lot of marketing, they did a lot of press. I was part of it, some of it. I don’t know where it’s at now; I mean, I think it did fairly well overseas as well. I’m not sure what that means really."

It's possible that live-action He-Man adaptations (despite both being very good, campy fun) are cursed given that the 1987 Masters of the Universe movie was also a box office flop. Lundgren played the Prince Adam to Frank Langella's Skeletor in the David Odell-penned film, which only grossed $17 million against a budget of $20 million.

The new Masters of the Universe, which stars Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man/Adam and Jared Leto as Skeletor, has only made $102 million against its $200 million budget so far. However, Amazon seems pretty pleased with the film overall, and the Masters of the Universe post-credits scene (which I stood up and clapped for) does set up a sequel... so there still might be hope yet. Lundgren also makes a super fun cameo in the new film, which may or may not have made me cry a little.

Masters of the Universe is in theaters now and you should absolutely go see it. For more, check out our picks for the best movies on Amazon Prime, or, read our Masters of the Universe review.

As Xbox CEO Asha Sharma continues to expand the publisher's game worlds into the realm of TV and film, she also has some fighting words for the biggest movie franchise of all time. "Call of Duty is bigger than the Marvel Cinematic Universe."

Xbox's new boss took the reins earlier this year and is now overseeing a reset that could potentially lead to studio shutdowns or layoffs, but one thing she's not scaling back on is the company's mammoth expansion to the big screen. Live-action feature films based on Gears of War and Sea of Thieves are going ahead, as is a sequel to A Minecraft Movie. Amazon Prime is also at work developing a third season of Fallout and a Wolfenstein streaming series.

But Call of Duty is maybe the company's biggest bet, with a new live-action film coming from Taylor Sheridan (Sicario writer and Yellowstone creator) and Peter Borg (Deep Water Horizon) currently set for 2028.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Sharma seemed pretty confident about the project's prospects and Xbox's increasing popularity in Hollywood.

"If you think about it, we've got the number two show of all time on Amazon [Fallout], Minecraft was top five in 2025, Call of Duty is bigger than the Marvel Cinematic Universe. So it all measures. [There's] more appetite to work with us on titles than ever before," she says.

How she's qualifying Call of Duty's bigness compared to the MCU isn't totally clear. Movies in the joint Marvel Cinematic Universe have collectively made over $30 billion across 37 or so installments. While we don't have comparable numbers for the total gross of every Call of Duty game, Sharma's statement is still totally believable.

Call of Duty is almost always the best-selling game of any given year, Activision almost always monetizes them until and after the next one comes out, and the series has two free-to-play cash cows in the form of Call of Duty Warzone and Mobile. Whether that translates into box office success is another question. CoD doesn't have an icon to rely on, like a Super Mario or a Jack Black-shaped Steve, after all.

"You won't see us try to become the biggest linear provider in the world or anything like that, but I think great games are culture, and culture is entertainment," Sharma says.

If you're looking for how to watch Switzerland vs Canada in the 2026 World Cup, we've got all the streaming details here – and if you're looking for information on how to stream all the World Cup matches for free, check out our detailed guide here.

The Switzerland vs Canada group B match will take place on Wednesday 24 June in BC Place Vancouver, and Canada are likely to be feeling confident after seeing Switzerland struggle to draw with Qatar despite being the favorites.

One of the words that comes up often to describe Switzerland is "reliable": they're a pretty consistent performer, but perhaps lack the intensity and energy of their Canadian rivals – and they don't have Canada's superstar Alphonso Davies as team captain. Davies didn't play the group opener against Bosnia and Herzegovina due to injury, but it's hoped that he'll have recovered in time to take on the Swiss team and help take Canada out of the group stages for the very first time.

With both teams currently at 1 game played and 1 point apiece it's all to play for here: current odds from multiple bookmakers are coming in at 11/10 for a Swiss win, 13/5 for a Canadian win and 12/5 for a draw.

The kick-off time for the match is 3pm ET / 8pm BST / 5am AEST on Wednesday 24 June (Thursday 25th in Australia). Here's how to watch Switzerland vs Canada wherever you are.

How to watch Switzerland vs Canada in the US

As we've seen with other World Cup matches, all the US streams require a subscription – but that doesn't mean you can't catch Switzerland vs Canada for free. All you need is a free trial.

The longest World Cup-friendly free trial is with YouTube TV, which is currently offering a 21-day free trial and then a discounted rate of $54.99 a month for the first three months.

Supergirl crash-landed in 2025's Superman, and now she's back with her own solo film: a suitably grittier, edgier, and rougher second entry in the DCU that puts Milly Alcock's Kara Zor-El on a quest through space to save her dog, Krypto, from a vicious poison.

The trouble begins when sadistic brigand Krem (a near-unrecognizable Matthias Schoenaerts) callously shoots Krypto with a poisoned dart, after slaughtering the family of Ruthye (Eve Ridley), setting the youngster on a revenge mission that leads to her path crossing with Kara's. Since we saw her reclaim Krypto in Superman, Kara has been drinking her way across the galaxy, enjoying the benefits of a red sun (which strips her of her powers), and ignoring calls from her cousin, one Clark Kent, urging her to return to Earth so she can find her feet on the planet.

But when Krypto is critically injured, Kara shifts into gear: the dog isn't just an adorable companion, but her only real link to the family she was forced to leave behind on her dead home planet of Krypton. What follows is a surprisingly dark – and often gross – adventure to save Krypto and stop Krem, with the bond between Ruthye and Kara, two young girls who lost their family too young, at its heart.

Girl of Steel

Tonally, Supergirl is very different to Superman. The DCU has been unafraid to mix it up with its projects, and that ethos continues here – Superman was all about hope and optimism, while Supergirl peels open the galaxy's seedy underbelly. In fact, a surprising amount of the plot revolves around young girls being abducted into sexual slavery, which brings Mad Max: Fury Road to mind (the girls are even called "the brides" by the brigands). Kara encounters more foes than friends on her quest, including tech pirates who hijack a space bus to rob everyone onboard and strip it for parts, and countless brawlers in bars.

There's also a certain gross-out element to the film: Krypto pees on a newspaper article about Superman, Kara and Ruthye eat popcorn that's actually the excrement of an alien creature, and at one point, Kara is forced to make herself chug milk and vomit when she inadvertently drinks poison.

While DC Studios co-president James Gunn doesn't direct – I, Tonya and Cruella's Craig Gillespie is at the helm – the film does recall Guardians of the Galaxy, too: the irreverent tone, messy protagonist, and frequent needle drops all seem to owe something to the Gunn MCU trilogy, though Supergirl has more bite to it.

Kara is indeed a mess, beginning the film as a mix of perpetually drunk or hungover, convinced it's not her problem to help Ruthye get her revenge. She hasn't truly embraced being Supergirl like Clark Kent has embraced being Superman, made most obvious by the fact her iconic suit is lying abandoned on the floor of her spaceship. As the film goes on, flashbacks to Krypton reveal that Kara is this way because she wasn't ready to leave her home. Consequently, she can't find her place on Earth, despite Clark's advice.

But Kara does slowly begin to embrace her role as a protector, which involves getting back to a yellow sun and powering up. The film does a great job at making us understand Kara's pain, with the well-placed flashbacks giving context to some of her quirks, like her penchant for listening to music or her love for Krypto. Still, it feels like a long time until we see Kara truly using her powers, and even longer until she really lets loose without some kind of impairment, be that poison or Kryptonite.

The action is fun if a tad frenetic, and it's certainly satisfying to watch Kara stomp her way through bad guys. The bond between her and young Ruthye flourishes naturally, too, and it makes for an effective heart to the film: the duo has a lot in common, and they genuinely need each other on their journey, both practically and emotionally.

Ridley stands out as her perfectly precocious Ruthye, an earnest, balancing counterpoint to Kara's more cynical worldview. Alcock completely embodies Kara, too, whether that's the drunken, stumbling version of the Girl of Steel or the more determined, heroic version of her waiting in the wings, bringing the grit and sadness of a young girl forced to abandon her entire way of life for an alien land, as well as the sly humor of a 23-year-old trying to have a good time anyway.

This duo is more than enough to carry the film, so it's a little confusing why Jason Momoa's Lobo is included, in a change to Tom King and Bilquis Evely's source material. Momoa is plenty of fun as the cigar-chomping, growling anti-hero, but he's given a throwaway introduction and barely any plot relevance, which leaves him feeling like an entirely unnecessary addition to the film.

A cameo that does work, however, is David Corenswet's Superman. His screen time is very brief, but he is, once again, the quintessential Big Blue for those few minutes on screen, with his smiling optimism butting up against Kara's polar opposite attitude – a dynamic that seems ripe with potential for Man of Tomorrow and beyond.

Woman of Tomorrow

As the second DCU film, Supergirl feels somewhat oddly placed. More of a character study than a big blockbuster, the film does suffer from coming after last year's stellar Superman, which set the bar high for the new DC era. That film also felt like more of an event than its new younger sibling (or cousin); perhaps Supergirl will work well as a middle chapter between Superman and Man of Tomorrow, but that remains to be seen.

With Clayface coming later this year, though, the DCU is doubling down on its commitment to an eclectic mix of projects and tones, so Supergirl appears to be just one thread of a – hopefully – rich tapestry in the making.

Just like its protagonist, Supergirl is rough around the edges, but holds plenty of promise for the future. With two more DCU appearances confirmed, it seems this is only the beginning for Alcock's Kara. Up, up, and away…

The Mother of Dragons may be no more. A change from George R.R. Martin's book in House of the Dragon season 3 might have a pretty brutal butterfly effect that would in theory prevent Daenerys Targaryen from ever being born.

In the season 3 premiere, the bloody Battle of the Gullet rages, which results in the death of Jacaerys Velaryon. While the manner of his death is very accurate to Martin's source material Fire and Blood, the show removes Rhaenyra's two youngest sons, Aegon and Viserys, from the battle.

In the book, Aegon and Viserys are on their way to Essos to be fostered, but their ship is taken captive by the Triarchy. Aegon escapes with his dragon (which dies soon after), but Viserys is kidnapped and is lost to the Targaryens for years.

He ultimately ends up in Lys with a magister named Bambarro Bazanne. After Bazanne dies, Viserys, still a captive, is passed to the powerful banker Lysandro Rogare. When Lysandro discovers who Viserys is, he marries him to his daughter Larra. Daenerys is a direct descendant of Viserys and Larra – she is their great-great-great-great-great-granddaughter.

This would actually also delete Jon Snow from canon, too, since he is the son of Rhaegar Targaryen, Daenerys's older brother. Oops…

"The fact that Ryan [Condal] accidentally made Daenerys Targaryen not exist by omitting Aegon and Viserys from the gullet lmao," points out one fan on Twitter.

However, it is of course most likely that the show will bring Viserys and Larra together in some other way, meaning Daenerys and Jon are safe. In the show's timeline, Viserys is still a toddler, too, while he's slightly older in the book. And, Aegon and Viserys are indeed on their way to Pentos in Essos to be fostered in the show, just like they are in the book – so there's still plenty of time for Viserys to be kidnapped, though it will have to play out differently compared to Fire and Blood, since he hasn't been separated from Aegon.

"That was just one of the many challenges of making the show and telling a story that involves so many children," showrunner Condal has shared of the change. "We had to compress history a little bit just to make season 1 take place over 20 years instead of 30 years. So it just meant all of the children in the story are a little bit younger."

It all comes down to Aegon and Viserys's new age. "Her youngest children are just not of an age where you can involve them with complex dramatic sequences, complex action," added Condal. "It's not safe, it's not practical. So it was just something that we had to dispense of rather early on in the process."

Changes to the source material are a particularly hot topic, however, after Martin took to his Not a Blog page to rail against "toxic butterflies" caused by diverging from his work, then later told The Hollywood Reporter that his relationship with Condal is "abysmal."

Live-action Zuko actor Dallas Liu has responded to the recent wave of animated Avatar: The Last Airbender leaks that have plagued the upcoming Avatar Aang movie.

"It was a huge bummer, because I was really excited to watch it," Liu tells GamesRadar+ of the leaks.

Back in April, Twitter user StillDissin claimed they were accidentally emailed the entirety of Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender, a years-later sequel to the events of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Soon, a non-watermarked version of the entire movie was uploaded to social media before being removed via DMCA strikes. In late April, a 26-year-old Singaporean male was arrested in connection with the leak after 'unauthorized remote access to the server' (via The Straits Times).

Despite the disappointment, Liu – the latest in a lineage of Zuko actors as part of Netflix's live-action adaptation – remains upbeat about the project.

"Steven Yeun playing Zuko, are you joking? Adult Zuko? Yeah, I think that's cool," Liu says. "Because I'm always just a fan of Zuko in any sort of artistic way. So Dante Basco, Dev Patel, even. Steven Yeun. I think those are all great people who are playing this character. So, I was really excited to see his version of what that would have been like, for sure."

Upon wrapping production, director Lauren Montgomery suggested that Avatar Aang should be seen in theaters despite it being shifted to a release on Paramount Plus.

Montgomery remarked on Instagram, "The recent decision to move us from theatrical to streaming might give the impression that the quality wasn’t sufficient, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. This movie deserves to be seen on a big screen!!!"

Aang, The Last Airbender features a new voice cast as the Gaang come into contact with an ancient airbender. The cast includes Eric Nam as Aang, Dionne Quan as Toph, Steven Yeun as Zuko, and Dave Bautista as Airbender Tagah.

Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender, meanwhile, returns for its second season on Netflix on June 25. It follows Aang, Katara, Zuko, and newcomer Toph as they make their way to Ba Sing Se for guidance on the imminent Fire Nation threat.

When it comes to screens of any kind, it's pretty obvious that bigger is better. We've already been keeping an eye on some excellent gaming-ready TVs, and as the long-time proud owner of a delightful 34-inch gaming monitor for my PC, if I were in the market for a TV this Prime Day, I already know exactly what I'd be going for.

Hisense seems to be leading the charge with the best deals, with a pair of excellent 65-inch TVs that will give you a few options at a similar price point. First up is the U6 Pro Series; QLED, 144Hz, and Motion Rate 480 mean it's a solid option for gaming, while 4K, Dolby Vision IQ, and a Glare-Free surface mean it's excellent for movie night - or even movie day.

Alternatively, there's the E7 Cinema Series. It's pushing its TV specs harder than its gaming specs, but you're still getting the crucial 144Hz refresh rate, so this will definitely double up well. Crucially, it comes in a little cheaper - $600 rather than the $700 price tag attached to the U6 above.

Helpfully, both of these do come with scaling size options - I'd be opting for the 65-inch display due to a combination of price point and the amount of space in my house, but the E7 ranges in size from 50 inches at the bottom end all the way up to 100 inches if you've got $1,700 to drop.

Finally, however, I've got a slightly different option - if I had a little less cash to spend, I'd be looking closely at this Insignia F50. Still a 4K Smart TV with Alexa voice remote, its 60Hz refresh rate should still do you just fine for most console games, and the really good news is that it's substantially cheaper than the Hisense options (in fact, you could pick up an 85-inch version for less than either of the TVs I mentioned above).

We're monitoring all of the best Prime Day gaming deals before and during the event, and for other screens, we're watchin the Prime Day monitor deals too. If you want to know which sets to watch, we've got a guide to the best gaming TVs you can buy right now.

It sounds like a new writer has joined the next Five Nights at Freddy's movie.

That's according to star Skeet Ulrich, who has shared that some new blood is onboard for the third film.

"We're waiting on the third script to make the third film," Ulrich said at a Spawn of ScareFest Q&A. "The guy who wrote It and It Follows is writing it right now. Apparently, it's a lot of [Matthew Lillard] and I." Check out the comment below at around the 27:24 time stamp.

Now, this comes with a few caveats. For one thing, the screenwriter of It and It Follows are different people – David Robert Mitchell wrote It Follows, while three writers are credited for the 2017 It movie: Chase Palmer, Cary Joji Fukunaga, and Gary Dauberman. So, Ulrich probably misspoke, and means either It or It Follows.

Plus, it's unclear whether the new writer is actually taking over from franchise creator Scott Cawthon, or if they're working on the script with Cawthon, or rewriting a draft of his. Cawthon has been on writing duties for both films so far: the first film was written by Cawthon, Seth Cuddeback, and Emma Tammi, from a story by Cawthon, Chris Lee Hill, and Tyler MacIntyre, while for the sequel, Cawthon is the only credited writer. So, if Cawthon is not contributing to the script for the third film, it would be a franchise first.

How a new writer affects the franchise remains to be seen, though Five Nights at Freddy's 2 holds a Rotten Tomatoes score of just 17%, down from the first film's 33%.

"Despite Five Nights at Freddy's 2 slightly bettering its predecessor in terms of scares and impressive animatronics, the sequel fails to understand that less is more. By stuffing as many storylines and characters as possible into its relatively brief runtime, the sequel feels messy and inconclusive, leaving FNaF fans shortchanged," reads our Five Nights at Freddy's 2 review.

There's no release date for Five Nights at Freddy's 3 just yet. While you wait, check out our guide to the most exciting upcoming horror movies.

Just two months after Invincible season 5 was announced, a sixth season is indeed on the way – and with a cast member from fellow superhero show The Boys in tow.

The official Invincible HQ account posted an image to social media that simply states, "Invincible season 6 confirmed!!!" Shortly after the confirmation, they announced that The Boys star Jack Quaid would play villain Gravitator in the animated show's fifth season. You can check out both announcements below.

In the comics, Gravitator is a genius engineer who is able to – you guessed it – manipulate gravity. He's a villain for a short while before an encounter with Invincible convinces him to use his powers for good (and he starts working for the Pentagon). Per The Hollywood Reporter, creator Robert Kirkman announced Quaid's role to the audience at the 2026 Annecy festival and cued up a short first-look clip at Gravitator.

Invincible season 4 wrapped up in April with a reluctant Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun) reluctantly agreeing to Thragg's (Lee Pace) terms that he would leave the Viltrumites hiding on Earth alone. The fourth season currently sits at a perfect 100% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with the consensus stating that it "delivers intensely on expectations" and still manages to "make superheroes feel fresh and engaging."

Invincible season 5 is due out sometime in 2027. Aaron Paul is also set to return as supervillain Powerplex, after debuting in season 3.

The first trailer for the highly-anticipated The One Piece remake project is here, and it's back to humble beginnings of Monkey D. Luffy on his quest for the mythical pirate treasure.

The One Piece trailer begins with the King of the Pirates Gold Roger and his "dying words" that launch a Grand Line-spanning quest for the One Piece.

With a spruce up in animation and art style, the classic first arc of the One Piece saga has certainly been given a modern-day makeover. The sizzle reel of the Straw Hats and some of their greatest early adventures proves the remake is in good hands with Attack on Titan's Studio Wit, too.

Releasing in February 2027 and brought to life by Studio Wit, Netflix has confirmed that The One Piece's first season will consist of seven bumper-length episodes, clocking in at five hours total.

The adaptation of the first 50 chapters of Eiichiro Oda's manga, the East Blue Arc, will also be released all at once on the streamer. That's a far cry from the months-long gap that formed part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Steel Ball Run release schedule.

Studio Wit president George Wada has previously commented on exactly why One Piece is being remade by his studio, pointing towards the old 4:3 ratio as a major stumbling block for a new generation of viewers.

Wada later remarked that the goal is for The One Piece to have "flawless pacing." After all, the original One Piece anime is the poster child for the dreaded f-word: filler. Judging by the trailer, it's full speed ahead on the swashbuckling adventure.

The One Piece is releasing next February.

Almost 10 years after we last saw her on screen, Elektra is officially back, as the first look at star Élodie Yung's big return in Daredevil: Born Again season 3 has leaked online.

The video, posted on Instagram by JP Photography, shows Yung in what looks to be an updated version of her usual black and red get-up, with a black robe. The star wields Elektra's signature blades before entering a building. Marvel has yet to comment on the leak, but it looks legit, and JP Photography has posted set images before.

It is not clear if the shot is from a scene or if it is just Yung practising her moves. But fans are certainly glad to see her back. "Dude, my goat is back," said one fan on Reddit, and another added, "She heard of Karen and Heather catfighting about Matt and immediately came home to show them what a real demon looks like."

Yung made her on-screen Marvel debut in the Daredevil Netflix series, but the character died at the end of Daredevil Season 2. However, after being resurrected by The Hand, Elektra returned in The Defenders series. But after a building collapsed onto her, her fate was left open-ended. Well, it looks like a few bricks were not enough to stop the ninja, as Elektra is back, and it looks like she is still up for fighting crime.

Elektra is the latest character from the original Netflix series to join the MCU show. Picking up years after the main show ended, Born Again continues Matt Murdock's tale as a blind lawyer by day and vigilante by night. Alongside Charlie Cox as Daredevil, the spin-off has brought back Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson (albeit briefly), Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, Wilson Bethel as Bullseye, and Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle.

Then, Daredevil: Born Again season 2 saw the return of Defenders star Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones. But Elektra isn't the only Marvel hero from the Netflix days to be making a comeback. Earlier leaks from Born Again season 3 confirm that Defenders stars Mike Colter and Finn Jones will be returning as Luke Cage and Danny Rand.

However, it will be interesting to see what part Elektra plays in the upcoming season. Will she act as an ally to Murdock, or will we stir up more trouble as she has done in the past? We will just have to wait and see.

Daredevil: Born Again season 3 is expected to hit Disney Plus sometime in March 2027. For more, check out how to watch the Marvel movies in order, and keep up with Marvel Phase 6 with our guide to upcoming Marvel movies and shows.

DC fans won't have to wait too long to see Milly Alcock after Supergirl, as DC producer Lars P. Winther says she will play a big role in the next DCU film after Man of Tomorrow.

"So we have Man of Tomorrow, and we already know what the next movie’s going to be after that, and she’s a big part of that," said Wither to The Hollywood Reporter.

Winther didn't confirm which project is due to be released after the Superman sequel. However, DC boss James Gunn has already announced a stack of DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters movies that are yet to be dated, including The Brave and the Bold, Swamp Thing, The Authority, and a Wonder Woman feature. Who knows, maybe we will get a superwoman squad, and Alcock can help Diana Prince take down a DC comic book villain.

Before then, Alcock will return in Man of Tomorrow, and it sounds as though the new Supergirl movie somehow sets it up. "Man of Tomorrow, which is what we’re shooting now, [Alcock] is in that movie," confirmed Winther. "Without giving too much away, this movie ends a particular way, and you see where she’s going to end up. She’s done her wild ways, and now she’s going to try to get back in with her cousin and be more on Earth again. That’s where she is in Man of Tomorrow. It’s all more Earth-based."

Based on the Woman of Tomorrow comic book series, Supergirl finds Kara Zor-El in a rut, coping with her dark past by partying every night in space, with her only friend being her dog Kyrpto. However, when tragedy strikes too close to home, she must join forces with an unlikely companion for an interstellar journey of vengeance and justice. The movie also stars Jason Momoa as Lobo, Eve Ridley as Ruthye, and Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem.

The new movie includes a cameo from Superman star David Corenswet, but Supergirl director Craig Gillespie confirmed that "It is a standalone film." Winther added, "We’re trying to build our DCU and that Superman family… We are not just trying to do what the previous regime did and dig in about the same characters. We are trying to get some of the newer characters in. So we want to base it with Superman and felt that [Kara] was the next best character to build that story."

After Supergirl, the next DCU movie to hit screens will be Clayface in September 2026, followed by Man of Tomorrow in summer 2027.

Supergirl hits cinemas on June 26 in the US and on June 25 in the UK. For more, check out our guide on how to watch DC movies in order, and keep up with upcoming DC movies and shows.

Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender has a change of leadership in the second season, with Christine Boylan and Jabbar Raisani stepping up as showrunners for the live-action adaptation of the beloved Book 2 of the animated series.

To that end, the pair have revealed their approach to season 2 – and why some moments will be left alone if they felt they were better suited to the Nickelodeon show, which ran from 2005 to 2008.

"We made a lot of conscious choices about what things work better in animation that we wouldn't want to touch, and what things maybe couldn't be explored in enough depth in animation that we could [then] explore with live action, live bodies on live sets and locations," Boylan told GamesRadar+.

Boylan added, "We think of it as a myth, as a legend that can be told and retold again and again and again. So, this is the retelling."

Raisani, meanwhile, was keen to point out that a key creative struggle was "finding that balance" of what could make the leap to live action while still keeping the spirit of the original.

"We're both huge fans of the animated series, and we know what the fanbase is like," Raisani said. "We want fans to love our show, and continue to love the animated show. So it's finding that balance of including the things that can fit into a live action adaptation, because we can't do everything, and ensuring that it felt like an honest connection to the source material. It'll never be one-to-one, you know, that's not the intention."

Raisani continued, "When you watch it, you should get the feels that you had when you watch the original, like you should feel that connection to the original, while feeling like you're getting a new experience in a new journey, and I find that's the thing that I go back to the most, and just make check in with, like, are we getting the vibes right?"

At first blush, the showrunners can be confident in a job well done. Early reactions to Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 – thanks to the premiere episode streaming via Tudum – have been overwhelmingly positive.

With Book 2 being held aloft as the original series' storytelling peak, it appears the writers and creatives behind the Netflix show have understood the assignment as the Gaang converge on Ba Sing Se in their bid to stop the Fire Nation. Yip yip!

Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 is streaming on Netflix from June 25.

Ahead of his return to the MCU, Robert Downey Jr. has shared some insight into Alan Silvestri's theme for Avengers: Doomsday. The former Iron Man star will be playing the new role of villain Victor Von Doom in the upcoming Marvel movie, and has shared how important the character's theme was for getting into character.

"We're on day 4 of production, Joe Russo's like, 'Come here.' And he plays me Doom’s theme. I was like, 'Oh, yeah. Okay, it’s that. And it even affected that day of shooting and every day since," Robert Downey Jr. said, according to reporter Brandon Davis, who quoted some of CBR's interviews with the actor.

We're not surprised as Silvestri is behind some of the most iconic movie scores of all time and has brought magic to Marvel many times before too. His work with the directors, the Russo brothers, on the Avengers movies has been especially stand-out too. Who can ever forget 'Portals' in Endgame?

We also heard a snippet of what might be Doom's theme at the end of Fantastic Four. Could it be the same one? Only time will tell...

Ahead of the new movie, the directors of Avengers: Doomsday have been hyping up their return to the MCU. According to the Russo brothers, the Marvel Phase 6 film is not going to be what audiences are expecting at all.

"That serial shifting and changing and surprising you and then reinventing itself and then shifting and changing and then surprising you... that’s exciting, and I think you’re going to see some shifting and changing [with Doomsday]," Joe Russo said at SXSW earlier this year.

"So, get ready for it. Look, we were with Rob [Downey Jr.] earlier today. We were both talking about this concept that we are back to phase zero. This is starting over from scratch. We want to make sure everybody feels like this isn’t leaning on anything from the past."

Avengers: Doomsday is released on December 18. For more on the MCU, check out our guides to upcoming superhero movies and all the upcoming Marvel movies and shows you need on your radar.

Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 is about to hit Netflix but some fans were treated to a special early screening of episode 1. The new show live-streamed on Tudum to some fans who have been sharing their early reactions on social media.

The second season reunites viewers with Aang (Gordon Cormier) as he and his friends head deeper to the Earth Kingdom to face their enemy, Fire Lord Ozai (Daniel Dae Kim). Promising to be an epic new journey, it sees the gang discover new locations and new foes on their adventure.

The first season, released in 2024, had some pretty mixed reactions, sitting at a pretty average 62% from critics and 70% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. However, early reactions to the first episode of season 2 are already saying it's an improvement.

Posting on Twitter, one fan wrote: "I just watched the first episode of the second season of #Netflix's #AvatarTheLastAirbender live-action via Tudum and it's such a BIG IMPROVEMENT!!! Love the changes so far while being still faithful to the og show!"

"WOW that first episode of Season 2 was so fire. Just finished watching the premiere of it live on Netflix Tudum and it's fantastic," added a second, while a third tweeted: "Dude, I just watched episode 1 of Avatar season 2 and it's literally infinitely better than the entire first season, Katara improved a ton in her acting and her bending is so perfect, the moves the show gave her are crazy creative, she's full of insane combos."

Another viewer commented: "I regret to inform you that, it’s so freakin good. I’m very impressed with the improvements and changes. Time to use neutral jing until the rest of the episodes drop."

You can check out some more early reactions below.

Netflix has finally shared the first look at Blue Eye Samurai season 2 and promises that new episodes are "coming soon."

The first look image, which can be viewed above, sees Mizu (Maya Erskine) navigating a ship through a violent storm on the way to England. Per Polygon, Netflix aired approximately 60 seconds of new footage at the 2026 Annecy Festival, which sees Mizu arrive in London and get put into an underground fighting match.

Per the official logline: "In Season 2, Mizu's bloody quest continues in London, where she faces new friends, old foes, and her own demons. In Japan, Akemi and Taigen navigate Edo Castle under a dangerous new Shogun, while Ringo searches for new purpose." There is no set release date for the new season, though Netflix said via press release that it's "coming soon." Animated shows tend to take a few years between seasons, so we're not surprised (and we're sure it'll be worth the wait).

Created by husband-and-wife team Amber Noizumi and Michael Green, Blue Eye Samurai hit Netflix in November 2023 and was swiftly renewed for a second season that same December. The anime series follows a female warrior onna-musha who seeks revenge against four men, one of whom is her father. The voice cast includes Kenneth Branagh, Brenda Song, George Takei, Masi Oka, and Randall Park.

Blue Eye Samurai season 1 currently sits at a near-perfect 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, with the Critics Consensus calling it "visually dazzling while paying deft attention to character" and a "masterfully rendered animated adventure."
