Spider-Man verse delayed again, set to release on this date; Here are other films that will rule the big screen in 2025
Our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is taking a slightly longer route through the multiverse.
Sony Pictures has officially delayed Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, the highly anticipated third chapter in its Oscar-winning animated franchise, from June 4, 2027, to June 25, 2027. The shift marks a strategic summer repositioning aimed at maximizing audience turnout, especially among school-age viewers who may still be in session in early June.
The move also gives the film a prime release window internationally, according to studio insiders. The filmmakers also said at CinemaCon in April that their already delayed film needed time to make sure they got it just right.Four years after Across the Spider-Verse left audiences on a jaw-dropping cliffhanger, the trilogy's finale is set to reunite fans with Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy, and a dizzying array of Spider-Variants. The film is directed by Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson, with a script from franchise architects Phil Lord and Chris Miller alongside David Callaham.
The Spider-Verse franchise has become a crown jewel in Sony's film portfolio. Into the Spider-Verse (2018) broke animation ground and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, earning $393.6 million globally. Its 2023 sequel, Across the Spider-Verse, soared even higher, earning $690.5 million worldwide and garnering widespread critical acclaim.

Who are Galactus and Silver Surfer? Meet MCU's new villains in Fantastic Four: First Steps
Fantastic Four: First Steps: Marvel is about to reintroduce the Fantastic Four, but this time, it's not just about stretchy arms or invisibility. The real buzz is around the cosmic villains, Galactus and the Silver Surfer. They're not your average bad guys. These two come from the far ends of space, and their presence signals a big shift in the MCU's tone. Instead of another city-level threat, Marvel is aiming for something way bigger, older, and stranger. If you're wondering who these two are and why the internet is so hyped, here's a quick, easy breakdown. Galactus: A god-like force of nature Ralph Ineson, known for his deep voice and serious screen presence, plays Galactus. But don't expect a typical villain. Galactus is older than the universe. He doesn't want to destroy — he needs to. He feeds on planets to survive, like a cosmic predator. As Ineson put it, "He's not evil. He's beyond good and evil." Galactus in 'THE FANTASTIC FOUR' Director Matt Shakman described Galactus as a '14-billion-year-old vampire,' which tells you a lot about the movie's tone. He's not going to give speeches or throw punches. He'll loom, he'll consume, and he'll make the Fantastic Four feel small. Visually, this Galactus looks more like the comics. No more cloud nonsense like in the 2007 version. He's huge, armored, and alien, with glowing eyes and a voice that could shake space. Silver Surfer: Tragic, powerful, and not who you expected Julia Garner plays Shalla-Bal, not the usual Norrin Radd. In the comics, she's from the same planet as Norrin and is often his love interest. In this version, she is the Silver Surfer — Galactus' herald, searching for planets he can consume. The first look at Silver Surfer in THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS Garner says her Surfer is quiet, conflicted, and tragic. 'She doesn't speak much,' she explained in a recent interview. 'You feel her pain just from her body language.' She's not just a shiny alien on a board. She's someone who's lost everything and now serves a being who eats worlds. This version of Silver Surfer adds mystery to the film. Is she loyal? Is she planning something? Can the Fantastic Four reason with her? That tension runs through the film and adds more emotion to all the action. What is The Fantastic Four: First Steps about? Marvel hasn't released the full plot, but this isn't an origin story. The movie is set in the 1960s, on an alternate Earth. It picks up with the Fantastic Four already formed and working as explorers and scientists. According to early leaks and set reports, they get pulled into something cosmic, something way beyond science. That something turns out to be Galactus, the planet-eater, and his mysterious herald, the Silver Surfer. While Reed Richards and team try to stop them, the story also plays with themes of sacrifice, duty, and survival. Expect space travel, a retro vibe, and more serious emotions than your typical superhero flick.

The Great Indian Kapil Show Drops From Netflix's Global Top 10 As Viewership Dips
Last Updated: Netflix's The Great Indian Kapil Show season 3 was launched with major celebrity guests but has seen a steady drop in viewership, indicating waning audience interest. Kapil Sharma made a big move to streaming in 2024 with The Great Indian Kapil Show debuting on Netflix. After years of dominating weekend television on Colors and Sony, the shift was expected to draw in wider audiences and bring his signature comedy format to a new digital audience. The show kicked off with plenty of buzz, but by its third season, numbers are showing a dip. In its latest run, The Great Indian Kapil Show has aired five episodes so far. The first three made it to Netflix's Global Top 10 Non-English Shows, but the last two episodes have dropped off the chart. The early momentum seems to have slowed. The opening episode of Season 3 featured Salman Khan and recorded 1.6 million views and 1.9 million hours viewed. Netflix calculates views by dividing total hours watched by the show's runtime, meaning these aren't unique viewers. The second episode, featuring the cast of Metro In Dino, had a combined 2 million views across its first two weeks—but this included cumulative views for both the first and second episodes. Netflix did not share specific numbers for the second episode alone. By the third week, the episode featuring cricketers Gautam Gambhir, Yuzvendra Chahal and Rishabh Pant saw further decline. Netflix stated the total cumulative views for all three episodes had dropped to 1.2 million. That downward trend has continued, with the last two episodes now missing from the platform's global charts altogether. For context, the final entry on the most recent global non-English Top 10 list pulled in 1.4 million views in two weeks. Familiar Pattern from Past Seasons This isn't the first time the show has seen a strong start followed by a fall in numbers. Season 2 began well, but after four episodes, viewership slipped. The episode featuring Kareena and Karisma Kapoor marked a turning point, as total views across the first four episodes during week four dipped to 900k, despite 4.2 million hours watched. Season 1 saw something similar. The fourth episode, featuring Vicky and Sunny Kaushal, resulted in a drop to 1.2 million cumulative views across four episodes, with 3.9 million viewing hours. What's Next for Kapil Sharma's Show? Despite the viewership dip, The Great Indian Kapil Show still remains one of Netflix India's most talked-about titles. But the slipping presence in the global charts may push the platform and the creators to reassess how the show connects with a streaming-first audience. The upcoming episode will feature content creators Raj Shamani, Saurabh Dwivedi, Kamiya Jani, and Samdish Bhatia. Whether the guest line-up can reignite interest and pull the show back into the global rankings remains to be seen.
