A ResetEra user named J-Soul first noticed that some avatar rewards in PlayStation’s new advent calendar appeared to be created using AI. Shortly after, a Reddit user, FoFo1300, reported that PlayStation had swapped out those planned AI-generated avatars for simple phone wallpapers.
I’ve been following the potential X-Files reboot, and it sounds like Ryan Coogler’s been juggling a lot! His work on a big historical horror film set for 2025 meant the X-Files project had to take a backseat for a while. He’s said he’ll dive back in as soon as he finishes that other movie, Sinners. He gave us an update in October, confirming things were moving forward, and even shared that his mom, a big fan of the original X-Files, has been a real inspiration for the new show. But, frustratingly, he’s still not giving away any hints about who might be starring!
While Gal Gadot is well-known for playing Wonder Woman, it’s certainly possible someone else could have been cast in the role. It’s interesting to consider other actresses who were considered for the part and imagine how they might have portrayed the iconic Amazonian princess, created by William Moulton Marston and H. G. Peter in 1941. Elodie Yung, in particular, seemed like a strong contender at the time.
The next chapter in the Dutton family story, set in 1944, is coming soon, and Brandon Sklenar, who plays Spencer Dutton, is prepared to return if needed for future projects within Taylor Sheridan’s universe.
The original film embodied the spirit of the mid-1980s and a focus on limited government, but Mike P. Nelson’s updated version is much darker. It focuses on the evil that lurks beneath a friendly facade – those who seem like good neighbors but secretly harbor sinister intentions. While we might all put on a cheerful face during the holidays, this film suggests some people are hiding truly disturbing behavior. Like the characters in shows like Dexter, the killer in this film only targets terrible people. And like Venom, he’s driven by an internal voice with unclear motives – is it a mental illness, or something else, like Santa Claus himself? Either way, some truly awful people are going to meet a violent end.
In contrast, Mrs. Kim and her daughter Lane presented a very different dynamic. Though Mrs. Kim started as a potentially unpopular character – a stern and inflexible mother in a generally heartwarming show – she ultimately became one of its most compelling figures. While some fans feel other characters lost their way in later seasons, Mrs. Kim consistently remained a strong and well-developed character.
Marvel Studios revealed plans today to re-release the hit movie Avengers: Endgame in cinemas in September 2026, before its next sequel arrives.
Brandon Sklenar, who’s mentioned he’d love to play Batman in the DC Universe, was asked on the TODAY show about rumors he might be the next actor to take on the role. He admitted it would be a dream come true, sharing that while working in Spain, someone actually called him ‘Batman!’ from the street.
As a total movie and TV buff, let me tell you, there’s something amazing happening over on Apple TV right now. They’ve got a bunch of shows that everyone’s talking about – whether you’re in the mood for a real edge-of-your-seat thriller, something to make you laugh out loud, or just a comforting, well-made drama, they’ve got you covered. Seriously, these shows are totally binge-worthy. And the best part? The number one show is a critical darling – it’s ‘Certified Fresh’ on Rotten Tomatoes and a lot of people are calling it a modern masterpiece.
Despite the characters facing their own difficulties, the biggest issues lie with the movie For Good itself – which is disappointing considering it was adapted into two films to ensure the story of Wicked was told completely. You’d expect director Chu to have had ample time to resolve all plot points and answer lingering questions, especially after establishing such a detailed and impressive world in Part One.
