The film has two huge stars at the helm with Chris Pratt and Millie Bobby Brown, and we just got a new teaser. Check this out:

The official description of the film reads:

Set in a retro-futuristic past, this blockbuster adventure from filmmakers Anthony and Joe Russo follows Michelle (Millie Bobby Brown), an orphaned teenager who traverses the American West in search of her younger brother. Joining her on the journey is a sweet but mysterious robot and an eccentric drifter (Chris Pratt).

Besides Pratt and Brown, the movie has also managed to gather an impressive roster of cast members which include Jason Alexander, Stanley Tucci, Ke Huy Quan, and Giancarlo Esposito. There are even voice cameos from the likes of Anthony Mackie, Woody Harrelson, Alan Tudyk, Jenny Slate, and Hank Azaria (to name a few),

I’ll admit, the Russos haven’t had a hit since Avengers: Endgame, and this return for Doomsday seems like them just going back to what feels safe. After this trailer though, I have to admit the concept is pretty neat, and Brown and Pratt are solid actors—so Electric State has a lot of great things going for it.

I just hope that Netflix allows for a theatrical release sometime next year, because this honestly looks like it deserves a theatrical experience.

According to Variety, Secret Level has already been renewed by Amazon for a second season. No new details have been revealed, but it is said that the show has managed to become the most-watched animated series debut on the platform. The series was apparently able to gather 155.3 million minutes watched in the US alone.

Though Love, Death and Robots was successful on its own, Secret Level has a major advantage in that every short is based on an existing IP, whether it be Warhammer, Pac-Man, or Dungeons and Dragons. A lot of fans have been asking for a Mega Man series for years and though it isn’t a full film, an entry in Secret Level is probably the next best thing.

Not to mention the series has also managed to gather a lot of great talent. Besides the likes of Temuera Morrison and Ariana Greenblatt (The Mandalorian, Ahsoka), the series also has some A-listers like Arnod Schwarzenegger, Kevin Hart, and Keanu Reeves.

We don’t know what the next season could bring, but hopefully we get some great entries from incoming and existing IP. A lot of fans want more Warhammer 40,000, but an entry from The Witcher or Cyberpunk 2077 would be great. How about that Overwatch short finally, or a Marvel Rivals episode?

Catch Secret Level now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

Karate Kid: Legends is set to release next year, and a new trailer has been dropped featuring Jackie Chan, Ralph Macchio, and the new series lead Ben Wang. Check this out:

The official description reads:

In Karate Kid: Legends, after a family tragedy, kung fu prodigy Li Fong (Ben Wang) is uprooted from his home in Beijing and forced to move to New York City with his mother. Li struggles to let go of his past as he tries to fit in with his new classmates, and although he doesn’t want to fight, trouble seems to find him everywhere.

When a new friend needs his help, Li enters a karate competition – but his skills alone aren’t enough. Li’s kung fu teacher Mr. Han (Jackie Chan) enlists original Karate Kid Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) for help, and Li learns a new way to fight, merging their two styles into one for the ultimate martial arts showdown.

The story pretty much mirrors the original Karate Kid where they take a bullied young teen and turn him into a martial arts fighter. With the story having taken place in Los Angeles and China, now the story is set in the Concrete Jungle of New York City.

I have to admit, Cobra Kai feels like the definitive sequel to the Karate Kid franchise, but this one does have an interesting premise that it brings together the worlds of the Macchio-led universe and the one that once starred Jaden Smith.

So far, Ben Wang does seem like he has the chops to be the next lead after Xolo Mariduena. I just hope that the movie acknowledges Johnny Lawrence one way or another.

Karate Kid: Legends is set to hit theaters on May 30, 2025.

Just in, we have a new featurette giving a closer look at all the new characters being introduced in the second season, and it also includes a group of young people called Thanos Team. Check this out:

Though most of the Squid Game characters are going to be new this season, there are some players who actually had minor roles in Season One; for example, Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan) was in the first season as Gi-hun’s gambling buddy. He never got to participate in the game, but it looks like he’s going to be in the shit with Gi-hun now.

One character that also sparked controversy is Hyun-ju, a trans woman who is being played by a straight cis actor Park Sung-hoon. In the story, Hyun-ju is a former special forces member, and she joins the games to be able to pay for her gender-affirming surgery.

There are also a bunch of other colourful players, like a mother-son pairing, a North Korean defector, a shamed Youtube influencer, and a father with a daughter that has blood cancer.

While a lot of the new characters are desperate for money, there is one group of young kids who are described as people who don’t really care about the money, but are more in it for the thrill—and that’s Thanos team. Led by their rapper leader Thanos, it looks like they’re going to be one of the main antagonist groups in the season—a real problem for Gi-hun since he’s trying to get everyone to cooperate and finish the games.

So far, the new set of characters looks great, and it’s definitely going to be heartbreaking when we see some of them go.

Watch out for Squid Game Season 2 when it comes out on Netflix on Dec. 26.

Squid Game Season 2 is now ready to hit Netflix later this December, and we have a whole new trailer giving us an idea of what to expect. Watch this:

Three years after winning Squid Game, Player 456 gave up going to the states and comes back with a new resolution in his mind. Gi-hun once again dives into the mysterious survival game, starting another life-or-death game with new participants gathered to win the prize of 45.6 billion won.

Compared to the first game where Gi-hun is just as clueless as the rest of the participants, it looks like he’s going to be navigating the game differently this time, actually convincing others to not play the game as it was intended.

Of course, there are some characters that look to be disruptors to Gi-hun’s plan, but you can’t expect any excitement to come from the story if everyone just plays along.

The first season of the show was such a surprise hit that even director Hwang Dong-hyuk had been vocal about not expecting the audience reaction as well. Though it’s great that Squid Game was a hit, the pressure is now on for Hwang to deliver another fantastic season of adults doing playground games to save their own lives.

Hopefully, he’ll manage to stick the landing.

Watch out for Squid Game 2 when it comes to Netflix on Dec. 26.

Multiple criticisms have been coming out online about the series being ‘rushed’ and showrunner Christian Linke just happens to disagree. Talking to Games Radar, Linke says, “When people watch season 1, there’s an aspect to the pacing… season 2 is a bit different in that regard… I respect that people express that [opinion]. You’re right – the vast majority of the audience seems to be happy. But there are people who say, ‘It’s rushed. What’s going on?'”

So far, the negative reactions to Arcane Season 2 have complained that the series may have sped through multiple story points to get to the final clash with Viktor and his cult of robots. What’s more, it seems that the series may have swept the entire class drama between the Zaunites and the rest of Piltover—which was key to the first season.

Linke continues:

“We did approach season 2 a little bit differently in how we structured the episodes because we wanted, as creatives, to take these bets [and] take these swings. It seems like for most people that works really well. There’s some people who specifically wanted to see the continuation of season one in that regard and are disappointed. I’m not happy that they feel that way, but I respect that.”

With the quality of animation for each season of the show, it probably wasn’t sustainable for the series to keep one story going over time and sustain an interested audience. For now, Studio Fortiche has closed the arcs of all the main characters, but there is a promise to spinoff to more locations in Runeterra—maybe  with some Arcane characters appearing along the way.

So far, Arcane has set a gold standard for video game adaptations, and while not many people are happy with it, there is a majority of the fanbase that is completely satisfied with how the series ended (myself included).

The complete Arcane is now streaming on Netflix.

According to a recent earnings call (via Video Games Chronicle), CDPR CFO Piotr Nielubowicz has confirmed that there is another animated Cyberpunk project in the works with Netflix. He specifically said, “I’m also very happy to announce that we’re working on another animation project set in the Cyberpunk universe, which will be released on Netflix.”

No further details have been listed about the project, and it hasn’t been confirmed if this new story is going to be animated by Studio Trigger again. The only thing that fans can be sure of for now is that the project is set to release on Netflix.

Admittedly, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners really caught everyone off guard. Though the world of Night City is interesting enough, Edgerunners managed to draw an audience in with some great characters and a solid story that fully embraces the anti-establishment themes of the original game.

Though some fans may have been clamoring for a second season, some argue that the first season is already pretty well-contained as a story, and should a sequel be made, it should be focused on a different group of punks that walk around Night City.

Until CDPR and Netflix reveal more, all we can really do is guess, chooms.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is now available to stream on Netflix.

As some fans have spotted online, a split-second before the explosion that kills Warwick, fans can see a flash of pink, which is the same power signature that Jinx has whenever she moves fast. Check this out:

i want to believe in the theory that JINX IS STILL ALIVE and she escaped, you can see a trail of shimmer escaping on the video as when she moves. #jinx #arcane #arcanes2spoilers pic.twitter.com/YuRrZW3M8m

— Vi. | I SAW BILLIE & FINNEAS x2. (@K_taebts) November 23, 2024

What’s more, the final moments of the finale drop a lot of hints at where Jinx could be. Besides Caitlyn finding out that there was a network of tunnels that Jinx could have escaped to, the final seconds of the show reveal ‘THE END’ written in the same crude writing that’s usually associated with Jinx.

caitlyn smiling at the hexgate design since jinx detonated below the funnel? the shimmer line leaving before the explosion? the ship powder wanted the ride in s1 ep1 leaving at the end? “the end” written in her writing?

jinx is alive, she broke the cycle #Arcane #ArcaneSpoilers pic.twitter.com/WSzfNX9Avj

— mils ✩˚.⋆ (@thelorebitch) November 23, 2024

Probably the biggest visual hint is that in the very first season, fans also see the same shot of the flying ship, and Powder specifically tells the gang, “One day, I’m gona ride in one of those things,” which should be hint enough that Jinx is on that ship and flying away from Piltover.

Besides all the more obvious hints in the finale, fans have also pointed out that Jinx’s talk with imaginary Silco in the jail cell before she’s freed has Silco telling her to ‘walk away’ and not just repeat the cycle of violence. So if we were to take that as a hint, Jinx just leaving would have been set-up at that point.

With the next League spinoff said to be taking place in Dematica, some are convinced that Jinx is going to find a new partner in Lux who appears with her in the cinematic You Really Got Me promo for Wild Rift.

Of course, a lot of this is just speculation, but there really is enough evidence to suggest that Jinx is alive, and maybe she’s popular enough to be the mascot for the next spinoff as well.

Catch the complete Arcane now streaming on Netflix.

The story is set to close with Act 3 this weekend, and we have a sneak peek for the big closer of the series. Check this out:

The Act 2 finale ended with a huge cliffhanger, but it does look like a lot of things are going to be picked up immediately. For one, even thought Jayce seemingly killed Viktor, it looks like he’s still figuring out how the ‘Machine Herald’ fit into all this arcane chaos. It also looks like Vi is once again trying to convince Jinx to come to her side; and fans expect Jinx to be at a new low especially since she lost her only family left, Isha.

The second act was completely devoid of Heimerdinger and Ekko, so fans are expecting them to reappear immediately with the start of Act 3. Some fans are even convinced that after Ekko’s experience with the arcane, it’s possible that he comes back with time-travelling powers, and he could use them to stop the murder of Viktor and hopefully the death of Isha.

Though it’s sad to think an amazing show is ending, Riot is looking to tell more stories in Runeterra outside of the conflict between Piltover and Zaun. They can move forward and back with the timeline, but for now it looks like they’re closing the book with this era of characters.

Act 3 of Arcane Season 2 comes out on Netflix Nov. 23.

Back when the ‘Wednesday Dance’ went viral in 2022, edits of Jenna Ortega dancing in the show included the music of Lady Gaga—specifically a remix of her Bloody Mary. The meme was repeated by millions, and it looks like the show is ready to reward fans with a crazy crossover.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the second season of Wednesday has added Lady Gaga to the cast. No explanation has been explained as to the size of Gaga’s role in the show, but it’s definitely a guest role that was meant for the show, seeing that Gaga’s brand of monstrous fashion fits right into the world of Wednesday.

If I were to make a guess, it’s possible that Gaga could just be playing a musical number in another dance scene, but if they really wanted her to make an impact, maybe they can include her as a member of the Addams Family. She may be too young to play Grandma Addams, but I can imagine her playing a secret role in the form of Cousin Itt who looks weird enough for Gaga to add some kind of twist to the character.

Originally Itt was a male in the Addams lore, but I can see them retooling the character to be someone with hair long enough to cover their whole body.

No release date has been set for the next season of Wednesday, but fans are hoping for a 2025 premiere.

Variety reports that Netflix was set to acquire a huge project with Wuthering Heights directed by Emerald Fennell (Saltburn) and starring Margot Robbie (Barbie) and Jacob Elordi (Euphoria). Netflix had offered $150 million for the movie, but they lost out to WB Pictures for a smaller deal of $80 million because they promised the filmmakers that the movie would get a theatrical release.

Though WB seems to have won the deal, it’s also said that Amazon is interested in acquiring the movie and they’re promising to give the movie a theatrical push as well.

While releasing on streaming proved lucrative for a while, the recent consensus in the industry seems to be that theatrical movies tend to earn more at the box office, and they also have a lot more staying power culturally. Straight-to-streaming films seem to get lost and swept under the rug upon release.

With the success of Saltburn and the star power of Robbie, a Wuthering Heights movie could be a major box office draw—but it would still be a huge gamble. Until the movie gets released, we’ll just have to wait and see if passing up the Netflix deal was the right thing to do for the filmmakers.

No release date has been announced for Fennell’s Wuthering Heights adaptation.

Here’s the official description:

It is a world where carnivores and herbivores coexist.

Following the battle with the culprit who devoured his classmate at school, Legoshi decides to drop out and begins living alone at Beast Apartments. Louis has entered a prestigious university and resolves to face his father, Ogma. Haru also deals with many struggles as she tries to enjoy campus life.

Meanwhile, the city sees an increase of devouring incidents. The fangs of the heinous criminal who is pulling all the strings begin to close in on Legoshi and the others …

Beastars is admittedly a very odd property, and probably the simplest way to describe it is that it’s a mesh of the world of Zootopia with all the drama of Twilight. Sure there are still divisions between predator and prey species, but now there’s a forbidden romance with Legoshi the Wolf and Haru the Rabbit—and it’s this dangerous paring that is one of the driving forces behind the show.

Admittedly, there wasn’t as much Legoshi/Haru moments last season, but based on the trailer, it looks like Legoshi is going to keep at his pacifist training, and there could be more scandalous relationships down the line.

The final season of Beastars premieres on Dec. 5 on Netflix.

Title reveals have also been made for the upcoming episodes of the fifth season, and it’s been confirmed that the story will take place on “The Fall of 1987”. Check out the reveal here:

Looking back at the photos though, it’s kind of odd that the school seems to be functioning like normal, seeing as there was a huge earthquake that split the town of Hawkins into multiple pieces.

We don’t know how the fifth season will actually handle it, but I do have a feeling that maybe the rift will somehow be fixed, but the Upside Down will just keep leaking into the real world and continue to mess everything up for the citizens of Hawkins.

By the end of the series though, fans are hoping that the show will answer all the definitive questions of what the Upside Down is and how exactly it functions in connection to our world. The Duffers have been said to know exactly what’s going on from the start, but the mystery has been going on for four seasons, and with this being the last one, fans think they deserve to have all their big questions answered.

Watch out for the final season of Stranger Things when it hits Netflix sometime in 2025.

Here’s the official description for the second season:

Three years after winning Squid Game, Player 456 gave up going to the states and comes back with a new resolution in his mind. Gi-hun once again dives into the mysterious survival game, starting another life-or-death game with new participants gathered to win the prize of 45.6 billion won.

We never really knew how Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) planned to take down the games after he won, but it does look like he’s just going to join as a regular participant and try to convince everyone to stop playing the games by confirming that he’s a previous winner.

Admittedly, it doesn’t seem like the smartest plan on Gi-hun’s part, but maybe there’s some kind of mind game that he’s playing with the game masters; and him looking desperate was just part of his plan.

I’ll have to say I was one of the more sceptical people when a second season was announced, but it does seem that director Hwang Dong-hyuk had something planned for a follow-up. Let’s just hope that the series manages to captivate audiences just as much as the first one did.

Watch out for Squid Game 2 when it comes to Netflix on Dec. 26.

According to Deadline, Mindhunter and Gone Girl director David Fincher has been tasked by Netflix to develop an English-language adaptation of Squid Game. We don’t have much details about the series yet, but it’s rumoured that the English Squid Game could be Fincher’s major focus for the next year.

So far, it isn’t clear if Fincher’s series is going to be an extension of the canon or a straight-up remake, but fans are admittedly not happy that Fincher would be working on this—especially when everyone had been asking for him to get back on a third season of Mindhunter.

We don’t need an English-language Squid Game. The Korean version is too perfect. We deserve the final season of Mindhunter instead. https://t.co/IS8jf58y9U pic.twitter.com/TYkw4ewOwO

— Eric Pellinen (@EricPellinen) October 28, 2024

Admittedly, Fincher has been in kind of a slump recently, and Mindhunter seems to be his last major success. Mank didn’t exactly make waves when it released, and last year’s The Killer was also considered pretty plain next to other films in Fincher’s filmography.

Though directing hasn’t been so forgiving for Fincher recently, he has managed to produce some great shows like Netflix’s Love, Death & Robots—he even directed one episode in the latest season (the one with the giant evil crab).

Who knows, maybe Fincher will have a unique take on Squid Game, but for now, fans are going to be sceptical about the decision until they get a first look.

The second season of Squid Game is expected to hit Netflix on Dec. 26.

As per the official Netflix announcement, Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Charles Melton, and Cailee Spaeny will be leading the cast of Beef Season 2. Check this out:

Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Charles Melton, and Cailee Spaeny will star in the next installment of creator Lee Sung Jin's critically acclaimed anthology series, BEEF.

— Netflix (@netflix) October 22, 2024

Though the first season had two different people having ‘beef’ with each other, it does look like the second season is going to be featuring feuding couples this time around. Just based on the story description alone, it does look like class disparity will still be at the heart of the series, but with twice the number of leads, we should expect twice the amount of drama.

The first season of Beef had come out last year and was met with critical acclaim. Besides the overall artsy vibe and aesthetic, the series also featured some very high stakes drama that just kept escalating this odd rivalry between two miserable people.

Steven Yeun has been a beloved talent for a while, but Ali Wong really shined with the series, delivering a stellar dramatic performance—not so bad for someone who is best known for doing stand-up while pregnant.

I actually have my fingers crossed that the second season makes some kind of reference to Danny and Amy in some way.

It’s unclear when Season 2 of Beef comes out, but with the cast announced, I’m optimistic we can get the premiere sometime next year.

The movie is set to come out in March, and Netflix has just dropped a first teaser. Check this out:

Here’s the official description:

Set in the aftermath of a robot uprising in an alternate version of the ’90s, The Electric State follows an orphaned teenager who ventures across the American West with a cartoon-inspired robot, a smuggler, and his sidekick in search of her younger brother.

Besides Brown and Pratt, the film has managed to amass a number of stars with the likes of Ke Huy Quan, Stanley Tucci, Jason Alexander, Jenny Slate, and Giancarlo Esposito.

Though the Russos were at the helm for one of the most successful movies of all time, a lot of people have been saying that they haven’t managed to find a hit after Avengers: Endgame. With their non-MCU projects not really making any waves, some think that Doomsday was kind of a Hail Mary for the directing duo—as well as Robert Downey Jr.

If anything, Electric State does have the premise of what could be a successful action-adventure movie, but time will tell if it’s going to be a hit. Sure, the imagery of robots that look like old-timey cartoons is unique, but the movie still looks as drab and grey as any other MCU flick.

Is it too late to color-correct the film?

Watch out for The Electric State when it comes to Netflix on March 14, 2025.

Here’s a look at Sweeney’s buffed up physique in the upcoming biopic covering former boxer Christy Martin. Check this out:

 

View this post on Instagram

 

A post shared by Sydney Sweeney (@sydney_sweeney)

Here’s the caption:

“well the cats out of the bag thanks to some paps in bushes so here’s a little bts from my film im working on right now. over the past few months, i’ve been immersed in training to bring to life the story of an incredible woman—a true champion who fought battles both inside and outside the ring. her journey is a testament to resilience, strength, and hope, and I’m honored to step into her shoes to share her powerful story with you all. more to come soon :)”

For context, Christy Martin was a professional boxer that was active from 1989 all the way to 2012. She had opened the door for women in the sport earning the WBC female super welterweight title in 2009. She’s also the first female boxer to be elected to the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame and she was recently elected to the International Boxing Hall of Fame back in 2020.

But no doubt the craziest part of her story was back in 2010 when her then-husband James Martin stabbed her several times and shot her in the torso leaving her for dead. She apparently survived the attack and went on to keep boxing for two more years.

We don’t know how the movie is going to deal with Martin’s story, but I do have my fingers crossed that it will be more of an artsy biopic on the same vein as last year’s The Iron Claw. There’s actually a Netflix documentary about her story called Untold Vol. 1: Deal with the Devil. Either way, Sweeney does have very unique taste when it comes to the projects that she lands, and I’m sure all of her fans would line up to see this film (which is still untitled).

No release date has been set for the Christy Martin biopic.

The show is set to premiere this November and be split into three parts, and we have a new trailer featuring clips from the upcoming series as well as the first season. Check this out:

With the first season ramping up to a war between the citizens of Piltover and Zaun, it looks like everything is going to go to shit with the second season; with Vi joining Caitlyn fighting for Piltover, and Jinx becoming the unwitting leader of the undercity (kind of like Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker).

Of course, there is also the case of Ekko and his band of rebels, but it’s not clear who his fight is going to be with. We know that he doesn’t really care for Jinx or the gangs of Zaun, but there’s also the case of Ambessa who looks to be out for blood for the death of Mel, and she’s going to be bringing along her armies from Noxus (i.e., this world’s version of Sparta).

Though it is sad to think that Season 2 will be the end of Arcane, Riot has said that more shows are being developed based on the world of League of Legends. So this series will just close the arc for these specific characters. We should expect the lore to be expanded when the first Arcane spinoff comes around. Fingers crossed it will have the same story and animation quality.

Catch the second season of Arcane when Part I hits Netflix on Nov. 9.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cavill has just been cast in the live-action adaptation of Voltron from Amazon MGM Studios. Cavill is probably the biggest star attached to the movie so far; the only other cast member that’s been announced for the film is newcomer Daniel Quinn-Toye, a theater actor who worked opposite Tom Holland in Romeon & Juliet.

No details have been released as to who Cavill could be playing, but I can imagine that he’s been cast as the main villain Emperor Zarkon. It would be kind of out of place for a star like Cavill to join the main Voltron group and just play a supporting character to newcomers.

It’s worth noting that the movie is also being directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, who is best know for his comedy work like Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story and We’re The Millers. With Thurber also having experience with action like the recent Red Notice, it’s possible that they’re aiming for the Voltron movie to have equal parts comedy and spectacle.

To contextualize, Voltron was an anime back in the 80s called Beast King GoLion and Kikou Kantai Dairugger XV that was dubbed and edited for western audiences. The series was part of the retro mecha genre, revolving around a group of five young pilots named the Robot Lions who each had vehicles that could fuse together and transform .The most recent adaption of Voltron for modern audiences came out back in 2016 with Netflix’s Voltron: Legendary Defender.

Probably the closest thing we have to a Voltron live-action movie right now is unfortunately 2017’s Power Rangers movie which also featured a bunch of kids who had special vehicles that could fuse into a giant robot.

We don’t know when we’ll get a first look at Voltron yet, but Cavill is definitely a huge talent, and I can’t wait to find out more.
