The wait is almost over, Gate-heads. Amazon MGM Studios has officially greenlit Stargate: Genesis, and we're heading back to where it all began.

Twenty-two years ago this April, Tony Scott put a flask in Denzel Washington's hand, dropped him into Mexico City, and made every frame look like it was burning from the inside out. Man on Fire opened at $22.8 million, finished at roughly $130 million worldwide on a $60-70 million budget, and got a brutal 39% from critics. Audiences gave it 89% — and that gap is the entire reason Netflix is rebooting it on Thursday.

With the May 22nd release date looming, the Mando-verse is finally hitting the cinema. This isn't just another chapter; it's the bridge to a new era of Star Wars storytelling.

A new teaser trailer has just dropped, confirming that the U.S.S. Enterprise will return for its fourth season this July. Here is why this next chapter is crucial for the franchise's golden age.

We finally have a timeline for the new Stargate series. Showrunner Martin Gero revealed that production will take "about two years," pushing the likely release to late 2027 or early 2028. Here is why patience is exactly what the franchise needs right now.

Two very different films open the same Friday: a fashion-comedy sequel and an animated political fable. We don't have opening numbers yet — but we have a decade of historical clash weekends, long-gap sequel data, and audience demographics that tell us a lot about what to expect.

Big week. Bigger than I expected, honestly. The Devil Wears Prada 2 finally hits theaters Friday, Man on Fire drops on Netflix Thursday, and there's an animated Animal Farm sneaking into multiplexes too. Here's what's worth your time between April 27 and May 3.

Lee Cronin's The Mummy made 79.1% of its current domestic gross in its opening weekend. By Wednesday — Day 6 — it had earned $17.09M total, with weekdays adding just $3.57M combined. That's the most front-loaded R-rated horror opening of recent memory, and it tells us exactly where Universal's monster reboot wave is heading next: nowhere good.

Okay. We're four episodes deep into The Boys final season — that's the halfway mark — and Ep 4 "King of Hell" just did the thing I didn't know I wanted: it split the fandom right down the middle. Some reviewers are calling it pure fun, others are calling it underwhelming. I'm here to tell you they're both right, and that's exactly why it works. 🍿

Euphoria Season 3 is the lowest-rated season in the show's history. 48% audience. 54% Popcornmeter. Episode 2 — 'America My Dream' — spent 55 minutes proving everyone right. Maybe the style really is the substance. And maybe that's finally the problem.

After a season of war and tension, the 'New Life and New Civilizations' finale does more than just resolve the Gorn conflict; it restores the Enterprise to its primary mission. T'Nara Vex analyzes why this shift back to exploration is exactly what the franchise needed.

Last week CinemaCon told us what Hollywood is planning. This week, Hollywood shows what actually works — and what doesn't. Michael drops Friday, Boys S5 gets its midpoint shake-up Wednesday, and The Mummy's $13.5M debut is exactly the crash-landing skeptics predicted.

Despite years of false starts, Paramount has once again confirmed a new Star Trek feature film is actively in development. As a fan, it's hard to know whether to raise shields or lock phasers on hope.

Sony and Warner Bros. showed their hands Monday and Tuesday. Then Universal brought Nolan and Spielberg. Amazon brought Rick Moranis back as Dark Helmet. Paramount dropped a Street Fighter trailer. And Disney? Disney brought Chris Evans back as Captain America — and the whole room demanded they play the trailer twice.

Jonathan Frakes has boldly addressed the cancellation of Starfleet Academy and the franchise's current hiatus. His message to the trolls celebrating the pause? True Trek will always resurface.

Lee Cronin's The Mummy is sitting at 58% on Rotten Tomatoes — miles ahead of the 2017 Dark Universe disaster but nowhere near his own Evil Dead Rise. It's bloody, it's loud, and it can't decide what kind of movie it wants to be.

The Boys Season 5 is three episodes deep, sitting at 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, and it already feels like the show is done playing nice. After Season 4's divisive run, this final season is swinging for the fences — and connecting.

Sony went all-in on gaming adaptations and Spider-Man. Warner Bros. dropped seven minutes of Dune 3 and announced a Game of Thrones movie. Two studios down, two to go — and CinemaCon already has a clear winner.

After weeks of cancellations, set demolitions, and existential dread, Star Trek's future is suddenly looking a lot less bleak. Alex Kurtzman has confirmed talks with Paramount's new Skydance leadership, and four distinct series pitches are waiting for a green light.

Two films have combined for $1.14 billion worldwide in mere weeks, Q1 domestic revenue is up 24.8% year-over-year, and April has already surpassed 2024's entire monthly total in just 12 days. The numbers say the post-COVID recovery is finally real.

CinemaCon is live in Vegas with every major studio showing off their biggest guns, Lee Cronin's R-rated The Mummy is already scaring the hell out of early audiences, and The Boys keeps dropping bodies in its final season. Here's everything worth watching this week.

This week, crew members shared photos of the USS Enterprise bridge being dismantled piece by piece at the Toronto studio where Strange New Worlds was born. The Starfleet Academy sets are going to auction. Star Trek: Year One — the proposed Kirk-era spin-off — now has no ship to fly. For the first time in nearly a decade, there is no Star Trek in production. The chair is empty.

At MegaCon 2026, Claudia Gray and Timothy Zahn — two of the most respected Star Wars authors alive — confirmed what fans have feared for years: Lucasfilm has no intention of bringing Mara Jade into canon. Her own creator can't even get a 'maybe.'

The Stargate fandom just activated a gate nobody saw coming — and the destination is the Caribbean. The first-ever official Stargate cruise sets sail in January 2027 with Richard Dean Anderson, Amanda Tapping, Michael Shanks, Joe Flanigan, and more. This is not a drill.

The Boys just premiered its final season to 98% on Rotten Tomatoes and the #1 streaming spot worldwide. Casey Throwback Mills looks back at how a blood-soaked Amazon show became the most important superhero series ever made.
