There’s a new face behind the claws and cowl, as the Marvel Cinematic Universe prepares to usher in its next era with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Disney’s latest batch of Marvel outings is rounding off in poignant style, with Ryan Coogler’s sequel to 2018’s movie waving goodbye to Phase 4 alongside Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa. 

Although most of the Black Panther cast are back for more, the tragic passing of Boseman in 2020 means he’s unable to return for Wakanda Forever. It isn’t just events out of Coogler’s hands that mean characters aren’t suiting up for the war between the Wakandans and Talokan’s, because Daniel Kaluuya’s W’Kabi is also sitting this one out.

Production is well underway for The Mandalorian season 3, which will pick up the story of Din Djarin and Grogu after their adventure on Tatooine in The Book of Boba Fett. Now that Grogu has decided that he’d rather be a Mandalorian than a Jedi (and who can blame him), the duo can move on to their next quest, which likely involves an ancient mine on Mandalore.

If you recall, Din was excommunicated from his clan in Boba Fett after revealing to the Armorer that he had taken off his helmet and shown his face to Grogu, a big no-no for this particularly extremist warrior tribe. But Din’s exile doesn’t have to be permanent. He just needs to go find a mine on Mandalore and “redeem himself” in the “living waters” inside. Sounds a bit like Mandalorian baptism.

Less than a fortnight ahead of its premiere, runtimes for the first four episodes of Marvel’s Moon Knight have made their way onto social media.

Julia Delbel of The Direct shared details of the Moon Knight episodes over on Twitter. According to Delbel, the first episode is 45 minutes long, episode 2 is 50 minutes long, episode 3 is also 50 minutes, and episode 4 is 51 minutes. All the running times listed include the end credits sequence, which is apparently 5 minutes long. This would mean the first episode is the shortest of the stack at around 40 minutes in length.

With Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk returning to menace the MCU in Hawkeye and Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock rescuing Peter Parker in a Spider-Man: No Way Home cameo, fans are clamoring to see the rest of the Daredevil cast. No further casting has been officially announced, but actress Deborah Ann Woll has given us reason to hope that her character will soon be seen again. “I loved playing Karen Page,” Woll tells Den of Geek. “I would gladly, in a heartbeat, pick Karen back up.”

With the arrival of Disney+, Marvel Television took a decidedly more mainstream turn. Gone were the more offbeat, second-tier, or downright bizarre offerings centered on characters that would likely never find their way to a big-screen feature film. (See also: Legion, Marvel’s Runaways, Helstrom). Instead, we suddenly got series like WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Loki, which not only focused on established figures from the MCU but also frequently tied directly back to the adventures taking place at the local multiplex.

It remains to be seen if Dune will win Best Picture at the 2022 Oscars. For certain fans of science fiction cinema, it certainly feels like it should. Just like the novel it adapts, Denis Villeneuve’s Dune is more than just a good science fiction story, it’s a good movie first and a good science fiction film second. This means that arguably it’s a good Dune adaptation third. Although the 2000 Sci-Fi Channel version of Dune was pretty faithful to the text, it wasn’t a crowd-pleaser. Villeneuve’s goal was to cast a bigger net, to make a movie that would work for “someone who had never heard about Dune.”

Marvel’s highly anticipated new Disney+ series Moon Knight will begin streaming on March 30, but ahead of the show’s debut a select group of people have already been invited to watch the first four episodes.

Their reactions seem to be overwhelmingly positive, with one saying “it’s the best MCU TV show ever.” There are enthusiastic variations on Moon Knight being like nothing we’ve seen in the MCU to date, and Oscar Isaac’s lead performance has also been praised, but the show does apparently have a few issues and I’m sure we’ll find out what they are, or how much they might personally bother us, when we get to see it for ourselves.

In addition to its many other charming qualities, Amazon Prime Video’s The Boys is a very chatty show. The show’s lead, Billy Butcher (Karl Urban), is particularly loquacious, providing enough profanity-laced quotes to fill up a whole coffee table book. So when a new trailer arrives completely devoid of dialogue, you know the show is serious about the action therein.

Today Prime Video unveiled the first official trailer for The Boys season 3 in advance of the cast’s appearance at SXSW 2022. There isn’t a single line uttered in the trailer (other than one “yeah!”) but it speaks volumes all the same. Give it a look below to see what we mean.

Before the world was turned upside down by a global pandemic, Sandra Bullock and Liza Chasin were on the hunt for hidden gold. A script that had been sitting on a shelf for seven long years had just come into their possession. And while not perfect, something shiny and vital was glittering under the surface.

“We knew there was a reason it was sitting on a shelf,” Bullock says. Then came the lightbulb moment. “Oh my God, I see it! I see it! I know what it should be,” she declares. “Then you get really excited, then you panic because you’re absolutely convinced that there are no writers out there that can then bring it to the level we had in our head.”

Better Call Saul season 6 will finally arrive on Sunday, April 18, on AMC. Ahead of its release, the network has shared its first look at this final run of episodes. What started as a prequel series to Breaking Bad focusing on everyone’s favorite disreputable lawyer has shifted into a tragicomic character study about how we create our own identities, how the perceptions of others color our self-image, and what it means to be a “good” lawyer. Also, the drug trafficking world set-up in Breaking Bad has increasingly crept into focus, with the ill-fated war between Gus Fring and the Salamanca family heating to a boil.

Set to Andy Williams’ “Days of Wine and Roses,” this first Better Call Saul season 6 trailer doesn’t offer too many concrete details, but there’s a lot you can infer based on what’s shown. Check out the first look below:

The latest teaser for Marvel’s Moon Knight has plenty of exciting action shots and hints of mystery. We get to see Oscar Isaac playing both desert-bound mercenary Marc Spector and timid English shopkeeper Steven Grant, but you may have noticed that the show seems a little scarier than your average MCU offering!

Not only does Ethan Hawke’s cult leader Arthur Harrow give off creepy vibes, but the teaser is filled with jump scares. There’s even a menacing, skeletal creature sure to be the Egyptian god Khonshu, who resurrects Spector and makes him his earthly agent.

There has never been a coming-of-age story quite like Pixar’s Turning Red before, and that’s because it comes from a very personal place.

Set in 2002, the movie follows Torontonian teen Meilin Lee (Rosalie Chiang). She loves her mom, Ming (Sandra Oh), and wants nothing more than to live up to her expectations. But she’s going through a lot of big changes that threaten to throw her off of her life’s course. Namely, a curse that transforms her into a red panda whenever she has an emotional outburst.

There have always been great sci-fi games. But in the last 15 years, we’ve gone from wondering what it would be like to be able to play the kind of grand sci-fi adventures we’ve seen in movies, TV shows, and books to actually playing things that now can’t be replicated in any other medium.

Yes, improvements in video game technology have contributed to sci-fi games becoming bigger and better, but science fiction has always been about so much more than fantastic technology. The best sci-fi stories often find the humanity in the alien and the intimate in the infinite, and that’s just what many of the best sci-fi games of the last 15 years do. Whether they’re taking us to the furthest reaches of outer space or offering us a peek at a not-too-distant future, gaming’s greatest sci-fi adventures allow us to control experiences that could previously only be witnessed.

Could anyone have guessed a decade ago that we’d see Ewan McGregor back as Obi-Wan Kenobi in his very own Star Wars live-action series? When Revenge of the Sith closed the book on the Prequel Trilogy in 2005, it seemed like the actor’s turn as the Jedi Master was over. But as old Ben’s greatest pupil says in The Rise of Skywalker, “No one’s ever really gone,” especially when it comes to Disney’s very nostalgic version of the galaxy far, far away.
