Now the most recent adaptation, a long-awaited feature film, is set to premiere on Max this October. Now, the movie’s first trailer has been released.

In fact, Tim Burton and Beetlejuice star Michael Keaton previously collaborated on the mega-hit superhero film Batman and its sequel,…

Stephen King has written an impressive number of novels and short stories throughout his literary career. Now, however, Stephen King is shocked to learn that nearly two dozen of his books have been banned in Florida school libraries. The ban is the result of legislation signed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in 2022. The law bans books in schools that contain any kind of sexually explicit material. Obviously many more titles were banned beyond the works of King, but for King himself to see 23 books of his banned is enough to warrant a post on social media. Here’s the…

In addition to these other appearances, Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is set to return in Spider-Man 4 – though the film appears to be reportedly facing a major overhaul.

It’s no secret that the Star Wars fandom can be rather mean when they want to be. This was probably at its worst with the introduction of Jar Jar Binks in George Lucas’s Star Wars prequels. Now Jar Jar actor Ahmed Best says he “[stands] in solidarity” with The Acolyte star Amandla Stenberg.
