Nearly four decades after the beloved 1980s comedy (my wife—who has excellent taste in movies—reminds me!), a sequel to Troop Beverly Hills is finally happening.

Octavia Butler’s novel, Parable of the Sower, published in 1993, tells the story of a young woman surviving in a violent, post-apocalyptic America after society breaks down. Though initially recognized as a significant book when it came out, it didn’t become a New York Times bestseller until 2020 – nearly three decades later.

Netflix’s Homicide has become a huge hit, racking up over 76.3 million viewing hours. It’s currently a top 10 show in countries like the US and the UK. This success follows the release of Season 2, Homicide: New York, in March. The series began in 2024, initially focusing on cases in New York City. The second season, Homicide: Los Angeles, then shifted its focus to homicide investigations in Los Angeles.

Chris Hemsworth has found success with another big action series on Netflix (Extraction), Simu Liu became a household name thanks to the 2023 Barbie movie, and Tom Holland is now a global star with films like The Odyssey coming up. Continuing this wave of success, a new announcement reveals that two major Marvel actors will be starring in a movie together for the very first time.

Riz Ahmed plays Hamlet, a prince struggling with his father’s recent death and his mother’s quick marriage to his uncle. Aware of the many previous versions and famous actors who’ve played the role, Ahmed didn’t try to ignore that history. He told MovieWeb that he considered how others had brought the character to life.

Mackie will appear with Dafne Keen, known for her role in Logan, in the upcoming film Barracuda. Neil Burger, the director of Limitless, is directing, and Robert Zemeckis is an executive producer, according to Deadline.

A recent Fandango study shows that Gen Z is now the largest group going to movie theaters. In the last year, 87% of Gen Zers saw a movie in theaters, compared to 82% of millennials, 70% of Gen X, and 58% of baby boomers.

I’m a big fan of Jack Ryan! It’s a really gripping action and thriller series that takes you all over the world, dealing with international espionage and politics. It ran for four seasons, but the story doesn’t stop there – Amazon is building out the Jack Ryan universe with more shows. Honestly, if you get into the original series, you’re going to be rewarded with a much bigger story to follow. It really makes you wonder what kind of heroes and villains we’ll meet along the way!

When it comes to replacing iconic heroes, the new character needs to be able to carry stories the original couldn’t, demonstrating adaptability and fitting the demands of today’s storytelling. While heroes like Captain America, Iron Man, and Spider-Man are irreplaceable, Marvel has often sought successors. Wolverine is certainly among those untouchable icons, but that hasn’t stopped Marvel from looking for another prominent X-Man and mutant, and it appears they may have finally found one.
