Alan Tudyk is everywhere — you just haven’t seen his face much. Since his starring run on Firefly and the spin-off movie Serenity, he’s thrown himself into voice acting, recently reprising his Rogue One role as the sassy droid K-2SO on Andor, and playing a different robot opposite Stranger Things’ Millie Bobby Brown in The Electric State. He’ll be playing yet another robot in James Gunn’s Superman, continuing a long...

Yang Li’s time-travel action-comedy Escape From the 21st Century is overstuffed with ideas. Some of them are big, weighty ideas, about human potential, regret, lost time, and the meaning of life. Some of them are much, much sillier, like the idea that playing enough Street Fighter 2 gives you superpowers. The movie is a frantic adventure centering on three awkward teenage boys who get exposed to a chemical spill in...

Allan Heinberg, the showrunner of Netflix’s adaptation of The Sandman, claims it was always the plan to condense Neil Gaiman’s 10 graphic novels into two seasons, and not a reaction to the sexual assault allegations against Gaiman. A reveal of the titles for the show’s final 12 episodes demonstrates just how much they’re cramming in, following arcs across multiple books and finishing with the spinoff Death: The High Cost of...

Netflix has announced the premiere date for Leviathan, the upcoming anime adaptation of the bestselling steampunk novel series by Uglies author Scott Westerfeld.  Set in an alternate version of 1914, Leviathan explores a world on the brink of war, where mechanized war machines clash with genetically engineered beasts. The story follows a runaway prince, Aleksandar, and a daring girl disguised as a boy, Deryn, as they wind up aboard a...

Godzilla fans have had plenty to feast on in the past decade, with Legendary Pictures’ MonsterVerse producing five films and a pair of streaming series. But while Hollywood has come up with increasingly silly ways for its titans to fight, Japan’s Toho Studios still produced the smartest and best Godzilla film of this era — and it’s coming back to U.S. theaters in August. Originally released in Japan in 2016,...

After a universe-shaking season 4 finale on The Boys, it’s once again time for the kids of Godolkin University to step up to the plate. While Gen V’s second season won’t premiere until September, Amazon took to CCXP Mexico to give fans a look at the new season — and a little of how The Boys season 4 impacted the college-set spinoff. Here’s the official synopsis: As the rest of...

After a tease in Netflix’s One Piece season 2 announcement way back in September 2023, Tony Tony Chopper, the Straw Hats’ resident reindeer-doctor, has officially boarded the pirate ship. Netflix revealed the beloved sidekick’s “live-action” look during its 2025 Tudum stream. Netflix also announced that actor Mikaela Hoover (Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3, July’s Superman) provided Chopper’s voice and motion-capture. One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda, who has previously gushed...

There’s a scene in Bring Her Back, the latest A24 horror movie from Talk To Me writer-directors (and twin brothers) Danny and Michael Philippou, that’s so violently grotesque, I actually closed my eyes to shut it out. Trying to deny what was going on on the screen just made what was going on in the theater more vivid: The moans and gags of squeamish disgust coming from the audience were...

Without interactivity, the Ellie Williams that players know from the Last of Us games was never going to be the same person as the character who appeared on a television screen on Sunday nights. But by the time season 2 of HBO’s The Last of Us reached its finale, it became evident that the TV version of the games’ immune teen protagonist isn’t just an alternate interpretation. Ellie’s character from...
