I’m referring to those couples who keep audiences guessing about whether they’ll finally get together. These pairings have driven some of the most memorable storylines in sitcom history. Think of Ross and Rachel from Friends, Jake and Amy from Brooklyn Nine-Nine, or JD and Elliot from Scrubs. But the recent revival of Scrubs seems to be playing with this familiar formula, and it’s a refreshing and daring choice.
Blumhouse’s new take on The Mummy, directed by Lee Cronin (who also directed Evil Dead Rise), is the third time the company has revisited a classic Universal Monsters story. This project was a collaboration with Atomic Monster and New Line, and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures – notably, Universal wasn’t involved this time. While 2020’s The Invisible Man was a success, earning $144.5 million on a $7 million budget, the 2025 Wolf Man film, made with the same writer-director Leigh Whannell, didn’t do as well, bringing in only $35.2 million against a $25 million budget.
The upcoming movie based on the Disney+ series starring Pedro Pascal will be the first Star Wars film shown in theaters in seven years, following The Rise of Skywalker, which finished the Skywalker Saga. The story continues after the events of The Mandalorian season 3, and features Din Djarin taking on legitimate jobs. He’s hired by a New Republic colonel named Ward to rescue the son of Jabba the Hutt, Rotta, with the goal of uncovering information about a larger threat.
Mara Jade quickly became a beloved character when she first appeared in Timothy Zahn’s novel, Heir to the Empire. The stories that followed showed her transformation from a spy for the Empire to a powerful Jedi Master, and her marriage to Luke Skywalker. This has led many fans to wonder why she hasn’t been included in more recent Star Wars stories.
The new film features Thuso Mbedu, known for her role in The Woman King, as Zelie, a powerful magic user who can control spirits of the dead. The first trailer, shown at CinemaCon, introduces the kingdom of Orisha, Zelie’s home. Orisha is divided into clans, each with unique abilities, but is ruled harshly by King Saran, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor. He’s a cruel leader who uses fear to control those with magical powers.
The recent announcement hasn’t been well-received, with most people either annoyed or simply not caring. This response – or lack of one – echoes past mistakes made by Marvel. It also hints that Disney’s promotional efforts might be missing the mark with viewers.
Season four of Bridgerton has concluded, with this installment focusing on the romance between Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) and Sophie (Yerin Ha), in a story reminiscent of Cinderella. Each season of the show follows a different Bridgerton sibling as they find love – the first season centered on Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon (Regé-Jean Page).
Despite boasting a stellar cast including Christian Bale, Joel Edgerton, John Turturro, Aaron Paul, Ben Mendelsohn, Sigourney Weaver, and Ben Kingsley, the movie Exodus: Gods and Kings wasn’t a hit with audiences. Released on December 12, 2014, the film faced criticism for its lack of diversity, received poor reviews, and was released during a busy time for holiday movies. Though it cost approximately $200 million to make, it only earned $268 million worldwide, falling short of expectations for director Ridley Scott and 20th Century Fox.
The cast included several actors who had appeared in various Star Trek shows and movies – a franchise famous for its memorable characters and strong performances. It might seem surprising to connect Batman with Star Trek, but this overlap highlights the wealth of talented actors working on television in the 1990s.
The Apple TV+ series For All Mankind will conclude after its current fifth season. Additionally, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy has one final season planned. While Star Trek: Starfleet Academy aimed to tell a new story about young cadets working to restore the United Federation of Planets in the 32nd century, it received mixed reactions from viewers.
