Avengers: Endgame Is Back in Cinemas — With New Connections to Doomsday
Marvel has done something unusual with one of the biggest movies ever made. Seven years after Avengers: Endgame brought the Infinity Saga to an emotional conclusion, the film has returned to cinemas as Avengers: Endgame Encore. But this isn't simply Marvel putting an old blockbuster back on the big screen. The new release contains additional material connecting Endgame with Avengers: Doomsday. In other words, Marvel has taken what was once the ending of its biggest story and turned it into part of the setup for its next one. Endgame isn't quite over anymore The original Avengers: Endgame felt remarkably final. Tony Stark sacrificed
Movie Villains Who Actually Had a Point (They Were Just… Very Dramatic About It)
Villains in movies have a habit of ruining their own argument. Not because their point is bad, but because somewhere between “I have a valid concern” and “here’s my plan,” they take a hard left into kidnapping, elaborate traps or trying to destroy civilisation. That’s the tragedy of a good villain. Sometimes, if they had just calmed down and spoken to someone — maybe over coffee, maybe in therapy — they could have resolved the whole thing in under an hour and saved everyone a lot of trouble. But then we wouldn’t have a movie. And if we are being

The new Hunger Games trailer shows just how brutal Haymitch’s story will be
We have known Haymitch Abernathy for years as the cynical, damaged mentor who attempts to keep Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark alive. The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping is taking us back to the event that helped make him that man. A new trailer for the film arrived this week, giving fans another substantial look at Joseph Zada as the teenage Haymitch during the 50th Hunger Games, better known as the Second Quarter Quell. And this was not a normal year in the arena. Instead of the usual 24 tributes, the Capitol demanded 48. Haymitch before the drinking and

Sony's Helldivers movie has found a potential new recruit. Alan Ritchson, best known to many viewers as Jack Reacher in Prime Video's Reacher, is in talks to join the film adaptation of Arrowhead Game Studios' enormously successful science-fiction shooter franchise. The important phrase is in talks. Ritchson has not, as of 25 September 2026, been formally announced by Sony as the movie's new lead. What happened to Jason Momoa?

Stranger Things isn’t over: Tales From ’85 season 2 is already streaming

Princess Mononoke is returning to cinemas in 4K this September
Few animated films become less relevant with age. Princess Mononoke certainly hasn't. Hayao Miyazaki's epic fantasy is returning to North American cinemas from 26 to 30 September 2026 as part of Studio Ghibli Fest, presented in its 4K remastered version. For fans who have never seen Ashitaka, San and the Forest Spirit on a cinema screen, this is a particularly good excuse. A clarification about the 4K version The 4K restoration itself is not brand new to 2026. GKIDS first brought the remaster to North American IMAX theatres in 2025 as part of Studio Ghibli's 40th anniversary celebrations. The remaster
Doctor Who’s next regeneration begins as BBC targets a 2028/29 return
The TARDIS may be parked for a while, but Doctor Who is very definitely not dead. The BBC has officially opened the competitive tender process for the next era of its legendary science-fiction series, with a new multi-episode run being developed for broadcast in 2028 or 2029. And this time, almost everything could change. Watch here. For Doctor Who fans, the past year has involved an uncomfortable amount of waiting. Ncuti Gatwa left the TARDIS. Disney stepped away.

They’re actually making a Crazy Taxi movie and Netflix and Sega have much bigger plans
There are video games that almost seem designed to become movies. Then there is Crazy Taxi. Sega's gloriously chaotic arcade game about driving passengers across a city at ridiculous speeds while ignoring almost every principle of responsible motoring is officially getting a live-action movie at Netflix. And somehow, that is not even the strangest part of the announcement. Netflix and Sega have confirmed a new multi-title partnership that includes a Crazy Taxi feature film, another animated Sonic the Hedgehog series and a live-action adaptation of Sega and RGG Studio's upcoming Stranger Than Heaven. So how do you make Crazy Taxi
Tim Curry: Far More Than Frank-N-Furter – A Career Built on Villains, Pirates, Wizards, Kings and Pure Theatrical Chaos
There are actors who become famous for one role. Then there are actors like Tim Curry, who somehow manage to create half a dozen characters that could each have defined an entire career. Watch here. For one generation, he will forever be Dr. Frank-N-Furter, descending in fishnets and announcing himself to an unsuspecting Brad and Janet. For another, he is Pennywise staring out from beneath the streets of Derry. Children of the 1990s may hear his name and immediately think of Nigel Thornberry. Muppet fans know him as Long John Silver. Fantasy devotees remember Darkness in Legend. Comedy fans can
