Just two weeks after the first season ended, Paramount and CBS announced that Starfleet Academy will be canceled after its current, already-completed second season.

The movie, directed by Anthony and Joe Russo and written by Michael Waldron and Stephen McFeely, will be released on December 18, 2026. It will be followed by Avengers: Secret Wars on December 17, 2027.

The comic reveals a surprising detail: someone knew about Palpatine’s (Ian McDiarmid) scheme to seize power. Jedi Knight Kelleran Beq (played by Ahmed Best in The Mandalorian) discovered the Chancellor’s plan and subtly warned Jar Jar Binks (also played by Best in the prequel films). This changes what we thought we knew about the Jedi’s awareness leading up to Revenge of the Sith, and adds a new, heartbreaking dimension to the Republic’s downfall.

Dakota Fanning recently clarified that she isn’t currently involved in any Marvel Cinematic Universe projects. Speaking with The Direct at the premiere of her film, The Sun Never Sets, at South by Southwest 2026, she stated she hadn’t received any offers or even had discussions with Marvel Studios, but she’s definitely interested if the opportunity arose.

The movie is built around a strange idea: a talking fox, some bad choices, and a mysterious “magic hole” that claims to change people – but not necessarily for the better. Ash Crossan from ScreenRant recently interviewed director Dario Russo in Austin, Texas, to learn about the real-life events that inspired the film.

As a big fan of Peaky Blinders, I was really drawn to the dynamic between Cillian Murphy’s character and Barry Keoghan, who played Tommy’s son, Duke. A lot of the film felt like Tommy grappling with his life and what was coming, while Duke really stepped up and prepared to take over the Peaky Blinders after his father was gone. Now that the movie’s out and we know how things ended for Tommy, it’s pretty clear where the show is going next. We already knew a sequel was happening, but the latest news confirms that Barry Keoghan will be back as Duke, which is fantastic – he’s definitely the natural choice to lead the Peaky Blinders into the future.

Dr. Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist and popular YouTuber, has declared Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary to be one of the most scientifically realistic science fiction stories ever written. In videos featuring discussions with actor Ryan Gosling and Weir himself, Dr. Becky explains the scientific ideas explored in the book – like what causes stars to fade, the concept of ‘astrophage,’ and theories such as relativity and time dilation – without giving away any plot spoilers. She also delves into the science behind the stars Tau Ceti and 40 Eridani, their planets, and the possibility of alien life.

People are wondering if John Boyega’s character, Finn, will appear in future Star Wars stories. However, some believe audiences may not be interested in seeing more adventures with the character, who went from being a stormtrooper to a hero for the Resistance.

Sakura Haruno is still largely remembered for her intense, and often unhealthy, focus on Sasuke Uchiha. Hinata was initially portrayed as shy and passive, but she gained more confidence and strength as Naruto Shippuden progressed. It’s often overlooked that, despite these well-known traits, the female ninja in Naruto are complex and multifaceted.

Kirsten Dunst, known for her roles in films like Spider-Man and The Power of the Dog, will co-star alongside Sydney Sweeney in the upcoming thriller The Housemaid’s Secret. This is the second major film role announced for Dunst in the past week; she’s also set to play a character from the original video game in the Minecraft Movie sequel. Dunst most recently appeared in the crime comedy Roofman with Channing Tatum.
