Superhero fans were blindsided this week with the confirmation that Sony’s latest addition to the Spider-Man franchise will end. Sony has controlled Spider-Man’s film rights for decades, but since 2015 has shared Tom Holland’s Peter Parker with Marvel Studios.

The upcoming Harry Potter reboot has announced more casting news today. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is set to debut on HBO in December, marking the first in seven seasons of a new take on J.K. Rowling’s wizarding world. The series – which has already started work on Season 2, inspired by Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets – ...

Destin Daniel Cretton’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026) keeps rewriting the record books. Since its late-July debut, the fourth entry in Sony and Marvel Studios’ Tom Holland-led Spider-Man series has torn through the $1 billion and $2 billion marks, dethroned Avengers: Endgame on the domestic charts, and — just days ago — passed James Cameron’s Titanic (1997) to reach fourth ...

Star Wars has decided to remake its Mandalorian universe. The Rise and Wobble of Disney+ Star Wars The Mandalorian premiered in 2019 and, for a moment, looked like it had solved Star Wars television.

The Mandalorian and Grogu may have only just made their big-screen debut in this year’s film of the same name, but the adventures of the galaxy’s favorite bounty hunter and his adorable companion have already been given a new makeover. And while several familiar faces have returned to reprise their roles, not everyone from the Disney+ series has come along ...

HBO is preparing to send audiences back to Hogwarts, but fans shouldn’t expect the Wizarding World to look exactly as they remember it.

When fans think of Star Wars: A New Hope (1977), Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew), C-3PO (Anthony Daniels), R2-D2 (Kenny Baker), Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness), and Darth Vader (James Earl Jones) are among the characters who immediately come to mind. However, the 1977 movie is about to become considerably more ...

Marvel Studios is reportedly looking to cut 19% of Avengers: Doomsday (2026). We’re less than four months away from Avengers: Doomsday hitting theaters, and yet it appears the film is far from done. The film – which serves as Marvel’s first big Avengers team-up since the mega-success that was Avengers: Endgame (2019) – is allegedly in the midst of reshoots and extra ...
