Nothing unites TV show fandoms faster than crossover episodes. Whether it involves cameos, guest appearances, or a full-on merging of worlds like the Arrowverse, crossovers revitalize struggling shows, draw in new audiences, or just deliver surprise fan service. Crossovers are almost always expected between TV shows by the same creator, like when Frank Black teamed up with Mulder and Scully in a crossover episode between Chris Carter's Millennium and The X-Files. The same can now be said for two

Filmmakers Anthony and Joe Russo have earned one of the more unconventional trajectories in Hollywood, and also one of the most impressive. The pair got their start in sitcoms, working on projects like Arrested Development and Community, before Marvel Studios plucked them from relative obscurity to helm Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Their work proved to be enough of a success that they were enlisted for Captain America: Civil War, then going on to helm two of the biggest events in superhe

Every so often, a film builds its reputation on the festival circuit long before most audiences get a proper look, with word of mouth doing the marketing a trailer normally would. One of last year's sharpest, strangest slow-burn hits has finally pulled back the curtain, and the footage suggests the praise wasn't misplaced.

Despite being synonymous with both instant success and controversy, Sydney Sweeney has now met her match in the streaming wars. Her 2025 project The Housemaid is still a solid hit on VOD and Starz, but it's one of her previous movies which has taken a hit at the hands of Hollywood legend Brad Pitt, who has reclaimed the Apple TV trophy with his biggest movie to date.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl. Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. DespicableMe. All these films opened on July 9. And one year from today, what looks to be a blockbuster epic joins this legendary lineup: Man of Tomorrow. The fourth film in James Gunn's DCU and follow-up to Superman is shaping up to be a superhero epic. One that could be the most exciting release of the Summer 2027 season.

Independent Film Company released the first official trailer for the new comedy Idiots, directed by Mason Blair. Teased to be "Dumb & Dumber Meets Midnight Run" in text shown from a Deadline review, the trailer shows O'Shea Jackson and Dave Franco as Mark and David, who come from vastly different backgrounds and are forced to work together. The two are tasked with transporting a young rich kid (played by Mason Thames) to rehab, before getting into completely unexpected mayhem. The full trailer f

Liam Neeson's action career is not slowing down after The Naked Gun. If anything, the comedy detour made his return to straight-faced danger feel a little funnier by contrast. Neeson spent 2025 proving he could carry a legacy spoof without winking too hard, but his next theatrical release puts him back in familiar territory. Guns, old guilt, failed missions and men with government training who probably should have retired years ago.

Actor Jennifer Lawrence has been such a staple of movies and awards ceremonies over the last 15 years that it's hard to remember a time when she wasn't one of the most sought-after performers in Hollywood. Virtually any time she shows up in a movie, you can expect the project to either take in a big haul at the box office or that she and her co-stars will get highlighted at the Oscars. Given that she earned an Oscar nomination for her work in Winter's Bone at only 20, making her the second-young

Guy Ritchie's name is all over streaming right now. Paramount+ renewed his organized-crime drama MobLand after reporting 26 million viewers, while Prime Video has Young Sherlock, another Ritchie-backed take on Arthur Conan Doyle's detective. Netflix's The GentlemenSeason 2 is now another piece of a busy period in which Ritchie has been turning his familiar obsessions with crime and violence into platform-ready franchises.

Warning! Spoilers ahead for X-Men '97 Season 2, Episode 4, "Rise of Apocalypse: Part II."WandaVision brings back some incredibly mixed feelings for me. While the show itself was incredible, the arrival of each new episode in 2021 was the highlight of my week during an especially rough period of one of the many COVID-19 lockdowns. I was sick of being indoors by that point, but at least Disney+ was stopping me from crawling up the walls with boredom. WandaVision was the platform's first MCU series

Toy Story 5is set to release in theaters this weekend, and while it may initially seem hard to justify continuing the story of Buzz (Tim Allen), Woody (Tom Hanks), and the rest of the toys, the team behind the film found a way. As it turns out, the answer was to give Jessie (Joan Cusack) the spotlight. Whereas the Cowgirl doll was a supporting character in Toy Story 2–4, the last movie ended with Woody leaving Bonnie's house and putting her in Jessie's care. So, it seemed natural to have the sto

Disclosure Day marked Steven Spielberg's triumphant return to the world of sci-fi, with the conspiracy thriller impressing audiences and critics alike, taking in more than $100 million so far at the box office and earning 80% positive reviews from critics on aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes. Of course, it's important to note that this is only his latest offering in the genre, as he's arguably one of the more prolific sci-fi filmmakers in history.

They might get torn apart by critics, but even Jason Statham's worst action movies become major fan favorites. The Transporter, The Mechanic, A Working Man, The Beekeeper, Wrath of Man, and the recent Shelter were all divisive among critical circles, but have gone on to become major successes, thanks in large part to streaming. But, even with his reputation as an action icon, some of Jason Statham's movies still fall through the cracks. What's worse is that one of Jason Statham's most underrated

The final season of Outer Banks is only a couple of months away, and Netflix has celebrated its imminent release with a brand-new trailer. This next batch of episodes will serve as the farewell for The Pogues. Outer Banks season 5 will feature returning stars Chase Stokes, Madelyn Cline, Madison Bailey, Jonathan Daviss, Drew Starkey, Carlacia Grant, Austin North, and Fiona Palomo. Additionally, Tony Crane and Cullen Moss will be returning, only this time as series regulars. Set to the song "Left

One of Sydney Sweeney's most underrated movies has become a streaming hit one year after its premiere. While the actor's prominence has remained strong due to projects like Christy, The Housemaid, and Euphoria, she starred in a twisty thriller last year that didn't capture anyone's attention outside streaming. Luckily, the R-rated thrillerEcho Valleyis finding a second life, with Sweeney's fans discovering what could actually be her single best performance.

Driven by sprawling world-building and dedicated, built-in fanbases, fantasy book-to-screen adaptations have become seriously big business. They are dominating both television and cinema right now, as streamers and studios take advantage of the genre's popularity. Disney+ hosts some of the most prominent examples, from Percy Jackson and the Olympians to The Mysterious Benedict Society and the forthcoming Eragon series – and now the streaming giant has lined up another exciting addition for its e

Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures are about to deliver a new chapter for Tom Holland's Spider-Man in the MCU with the release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day next month. This will be the first solo MCU Spider-Man movie since 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home, which became the biggest solo superhero movie in history, grossing nearly $2 billion at the global box office. This new movie will follow up with Peter Parker operating in a world that does not know he exists anymore, doing his best to protect New

Alan Ritchson's Reacher is undeniably Prime Video's biggest and best action thriller series. Based on Lee Child's series of novels, Ritchson is perfect casting as the Military Police Investigator who doesn't exactly play by the rules, and has helped to transform Reacher into one of the biggest shows on streaming. However, unbeknownst to many Reacher fans, Prime Video has another fantastic action thriller show on the proverbial shelves of its streaming library, and it's about to return for a seco

Food is one of those everyday subjects that Gary Larson could twist into something gloriously strange or turn into a hilarious dinner-table scenario. The Far Side certainly likes going to the dinner table again and again, or turning it on its head with the likes of livestock flipping the roles, or other creatures indulging in their own little feast.

Supergirl is more than a week away from release, and expectations are high. The film is the second movie in the DCU and is the follow-up to last summer's Superman, which was both a critical and financial hit. The first wave of reactions to Supergirl have hit social media, as Warner Bros. moved up the social media embargo. Is Warner Bros. right to be confident in Supergirl?
