Spoilers ahead forStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. At the end ofStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, we see Rey encounter the Force Ghosts of Luke and Leia, which inspires her to take the last name of “Skywalker.” It makes sense why she would see those ghosts since Luke and Leia played such strong roles in mentoring her and they were strong with the Force. But why not other figures like Anakin Skywalker or Ben Solo?...

Spider-Man: HomecomingstarTom Hollandcertainly appears to be enjoying himself on the set of Marvel and Sony’s highly anticipated reboot, and he’s taking some time to poke fun at one of his fellow MCU co-stars. A few weeks ago,Chris Hemsworthshared a video on Instagram of himself practicing with aThor: Ragnarokstunt coordinator and then humorously blowing a trampoline jump.

Tom Hollandcontinues to spread joy to the world as Marvel’s new Spider-Man. The actor suited up in his web-slinger movie costume and joined hisSpider-Man: Homecomingcast matesZendayaandJacobBatalonduring a visit to New York Presbyterian Hospital. But it looks like at least one patient was hoping for Batman. Zendaya caught some of the visit on tape, showing Holland putting on his mask before visiting with a sick kid named Nicholas as Spider-Man. Seeing the boy’s Batman t-shirt, he asked if he liked the Dark Knight better than Spider-Man, and Spidey fell short....

However, in a long career of over one hundred movies, he has only actually made approximately ten horror movies.

I’m just not sure there’s ever been a television story more custom-tailored for me than “a chess prodigy is so good at chess that she loses her freaking mind and it’s styled like a surreal prestige thriller”. Sound good to you, too? Good. Then feast your eyes on the official trailer for Netflix’s limited seriesThe Queen’s Gambit. Based on the novel byWalter Tevis(whoseThe Hustlerseries of books have also yielded sharp screen works on gifts versus obsessions),Anya Taylor-Joystars as our lead chess prodigy who shatters through the glass walls of the male-dominated competitive chess circuit, while sliding further and further into self-destructive tendencies and mental breakdowns....

Last night, just before the highly anticipated debut ofWestworld, HBO dropped a new teaser trailer for the upcoming seriesThe Young Pope. Created and directed byPaolo Sorrentino, the Oscar-winning filmmaker behindYouthandThe Great Beauty, the show starsJude Lawas the fictional Pope Pius XIII and revolves around the newly elected (and American) Pope struggling with his responsibilities.

Frank Herbert’s epic science fiction seriesDunehas always placed women at the forefront of the story. In fact, with each subsequent book,Herbert heavily expanded the role women playin the world ofDune.It only makes sense that directorDenis Villeneuvewould continue this trend by making major changes to a female character who is arguably one of the most consequential figures in the series. This character is, of course, Chani. Played byZendayain the films, Chani is an important, yet understated character in the early books....
