While Wicked: For Good performed well in 2025 and had a strong opening weekend, it didn’t create the same buzz as the first Wicked movie. Initial excitement about potential awards faded throughout the season, and ultimately, the film didn’t receive any Oscar nominations when they were announced in 2026.
After this year’s Oscar nominations were revealed, many actors reacted to being recognized. Jessie Buckley, while discussing her own nomination, was also questioned about her co-star, Paul Mescal, being left out. Many consider this a significant oversight, especially since he was nominated for a Golden Globe and is receiving an Actors’ Award. Buckley addressed the situation in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, saying:
For almost 20 years, a new Masters of the Universe movie has been in the works, drawing interest from many well-known creatives. Several writers and directors, including David S. Goyer (known for Blade and Batman v Superman), Jeff Wadlow (Kick-Ass 2), John Woo (Face/Off), and Jon M. Chu (Wicked), have been attached to the project at different times, but ultimately moved on. Netflix almost greenlit the reboot but backed out due to budget concerns, and Amazon MGM Studios stepped in to continue development. While at Netflix, actors like Noah Centineo were cast as He-Man, but those plans were abandoned when the project changed hands. Now, after decades of anticipation, the Masters of the Universe reboot is finally scheduled for release in theaters later this year.
“I had a blast watching the first Primitive War film, and I’m excited to see how the sequel goes!”
Netflix often avoids disappointing endings with its thriller series because many are based on existing books or designed as short, self-contained stories. However, when a show becomes a huge hit and continues for several seasons, viewers often worry the finale won’t live up to the quality of what came before. This particular Netflix series managed to avoid that pitfall.
While promoting his new science fiction thriller, Mercy, Chris Pratt discussed the possibility of future Marvel crossovers with Screen Rant. He was asked about how Marvel now having access to characters that were previously unavailable might change things, and he responded by saying:
The trailer announces that Maul: Shadow Lord will premiere on Disney+ on April 6th, giving Star Wars fans a date for the new animated series.
The conclusion of The Truman Show is emotionally complex and has sparked conversation among viewers for nearly three decades. While many science fiction films end with deliberately unclear conclusions, leaving audiences to wonder what happens next, The Truman Show offers a clear resolution. The ending’s profound effect, both on Jim Carrey’s character, Truman Burbank, and the world he discovers, continues to be a topic of discussion.
Although some viewers have had differing opinions about the story and speed of Steal, critics have consistently praised the acting of Turner, who plays Zara. The show launched with an 80% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and currently holds a solid 70% score, based on 20 reviews, as it quickly becomes one of the most-watched series online.
It’s not a shock. While many people liked Adam Sandler’s performance in Jay Kelly, the film itself has lost momentum in the awards race. George Clooney’s chances of winning Best Actor also diminished, leaving Sandler as the last remaining possibility for a nomination. In the end, the movie was completely overlooked.
