DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn appears to have survived the first round of leadership changes surrounding Skydance’s takeover of Warner Bros., but some members of his own audience aren’t happy about how quickly he embraced the company’s new owner. Gunn shared David...
For years, Hollywood insisted the superhero genre was too big to fail. Marvel and DC might stumble here or there, but whenever the chips were down, a tentpole reboot would swoop in and restore audience faith. That was the expectation for 2025, when James Gunn’s new Superman and Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps arrived to great industry fanfare.
These were the movies that were supposed to stop the bleeding, unite audiences, and reignite box office firepower.
Instead, they proved the exact opposite: even the biggest names in comic book history can’t save a genre audiences are walking away from.
Bethesda has made headlines by bringing in a Dragon Age: The Veilguard writer as its newest Senior Quest Designer. On the surface, it looks like a studio securing an experienced RPG veteran. But for fans who watched BioWare’s latest release collapse under the weight of its own messaging, this news lands more like a warning.
The wrestling world is reeling after a violent assault at a KnokX Pro Wrestling event in Los Angeles. On August 23, 2025, Raja Jackson—the 25-year-old son of former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson—stormed the ring and launched a sustained attack on Stuart “Syko Stu” Smith, a U.S. Army veteran and independent pro wrestler.
This weekend, Netflix scored something it has almost never managed before: a No. 1 finish at the U.S. box office. The anime musical KPop Demon Hunters surged past traditional theatrical releases with an estimated $18–20 million gross, despite being available to stream on Netflix worldwide. That should have been an easy victory lap for the streaming giant. Instead, the win is clouded by secrecy, conflicting reports, and Netflix’s deliberate refusal to confirm any hard numbers.
When Marvel Studios released Eternals in late 2021, the company thought it was launching the next Avengers-level franchise. According to Variety, Kumail Nanjiani, one of the “stars” of Eternals, had signed on for an ambitious six-picture deal across a decade, complete with appearances in a video game and even a planned theme-park attraction.
For more than a decade, comic book movies were Hollywood’s surest bet. Audiences could count on at least one Marvel or DC (usually Marvel…) release smashing past $700 million globally every single year. However, that comic book movie box office hot streak is now broken.
HBO is moving forward on The Last of Us Season 3 — a season centered around Abby, one of the most deeply unpopular characters in modern gaming — by beginning production before all the scripts are finished. Showrunner Craig Mazin has admitted that while some writing is underway, the full slate of episodes won’t be complete before cameras roll.
The movie industry just got blindsided. In a shocking turn of events, the Sony Netflix animated feature KPop Demon Hunters has taken the #1 spot at the domestic box office this weekend, pulling in an estimated $18 million despite already being available to stream on Netflix for weeks.
Quentin Tarantino finally revealed his next project. And surprise! It’s not his long-awaited 10th, and potentially final film. Since scrapping his screenplay for The Film Critic, because, as a source told Deadline, he simply changed his mind, the 61-year-old auteur has apparently written a stage play.
When Katee Sackhoff revealed in a recent interview that working on The Mandalorian “broke” her and stripped away her confidence, it stunned a lot of fans. After all, Sackhoff wasn’t just another actor hired to fill a suit of beskar and stand there pointlessly like...
When one of the biggest names in entertainment takes aim at Disney, people notice. That’s exactly what happened this week when Snoop Dogg, the rap legend and cultural icon, openly criticized the Disney Pixar film Lightyear for inserting a same-sex parent subplot into what was marketed as a children’s adventure.
James Gunn’s much-hyped Peacemaker Season 2 premiere has finally arrived — and I sincerely wish it hadn’t and that I didn’t have to review it… What unspools in the first episode is a chaotic, vulgar, self-indulgent disaster that makes even Gunn’s shaky Superman reboot look like a cinematic triumph by comparison. I enjoyed much of the first season. I like John Cena. But this episode? It is amateurish, infantile dreck with almost nothing redeemable.
