DC Has Found a Familiar Face to Write the ‘Wonder Woman' Movie
A synopsis for the new Resident Evil movie (via DanielRPK and Comic Book) suggests it's set between the events of the second and third Resident Evil video games.
Bryan (Austin Abrams), a laid-back organ courier, is sent on a late-night delivery to Raccoon City General Hospital. En route through a snowy mountain road, he accidentally hits a strange woman with his car. She survives—but something is very wrong. As he tries to help, Bryan stumbles into a full-blown outbreak involving horrifying tentacle-based mutations and bio-engineered monstrosities.
In conversation with Deadline, director Matt Shakman said the Russo Bros. were 'very curious' about the making of Fantastic Four: First Steps.
They were very curious about what we were doing, they came to tour our sets, they would watch scenes that we were cutting together, they wanted to get to know these people as they were working on their story and their script, so that I could pass the baton to them and these characters would be well cared for.

The Indiana Fever are once again partnering with the hit show "Stranger Things" on themed uniforms for Thursday night's game vs. the Las Vegas Aces.

"This jersey represents the fierce spirit of our team and the fearless energy of Stranger Things – two forces that never back down," the team said in a statement. "As we celebrate our team and the cultural phenomenon that is Stranger Things, we're thrilled to bring back this awesome collaboration with Netflix."

'Fantastic Four': Sue Storm's biggest power isn't what you'd expect in superhero movie
Sue Storm's pregnancy and parenthood is the emotional core of this retro-futuristic Marvel movie As we enter Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), The Fantastic Four: First Steps (in theatres July 25) puts the bond of a family at the centre of its storytelling. Starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Julia Garner, it's the power of motherhood that becomes the greatest asset for these superheroes. "It always seemed to me kind of revolutionary to have this mother at the centre of this family, but also be absolutely part of the team. Never left at home on her own," Kirby told reporters ahead of the film's release. "And then when I met [director Matt Shakman] and [president of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige] for the first time and started talking about Sue, I was already so passionate about her, but it was so exciting to me, this idea of having this pregnant superhero, this working mother, and even in the shooting of it, it was surreal. "I was so included in everything. ... Matt and Kevin were such huge champions of having her be ... as complex and as fierce and as loving and warm and all the things they think feminine really is. ... It was very daunting. I really cared, and it's been a great honour to play her." What is 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' about? In a stand-alone story in the MCU, Fantastic Four sets up the story of four astronauts who return from space with altered DNA due to a cosmic storm, leaving them with superpowers. Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pascal) can stretch to incredible lengths, while his wife Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Kirby) can generate powerful force fields and has the ability to make herself invisible, as her name suggests. Sue's brother Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Quinn) can make himself engulfed in flames, fly and shoot out fire, while Ben Grimm/The Thing's (Moss-Bachrach) body transformed into rock form, giving him super strength. Early in the film we see Sue tell Reed that she's pregnant, something that they've struggled to achieve for some time. But Reed, the supremely intelligent but anxious scientist that he is, not only wants to make the world as safe for his son as possible. He also has concerns about whether their superpowers will impact their child's DNA. "The one thing that I found was kind of anchoring was that somebody that is this smart strangely makes him kind of an innocent when it comes to human interactions and relationships, and either saying the wrong thing or reading the room incorrectly, or finally finding a way to express the thing that burdens him," Pascal said. "And just sort of perplexed a little by the fact that people aren't catching up as quickly as he would, as his mind works." "That was really, really fun to kind of create idiosyncratic behaviour around that. But really at the core for me ... is that he's an incredible codependent, and without them, he doesn't know how to function, and he's lost to his own brain. His identity is related utterly to his family and his position in the family, and protecting them and being protected by them." The Fantastic Four family gets an unexpected visit from the Silver Surfer (Garner), who zooms down to Earth and announces in the middle of Times Square that the planet will be consumed by Galactus (Ralph Ineson). Interestingly, that was Garner's first day of work, and she was "terrified." "It was probably the craziest first day I've ever had on a job," Garner said. "It was 30 feet in the air. There was a construction crane, at night, an earpiece, taking direction with Matt and hearing Vanessa's line. It was wild." The Fantastic Four have to jump into action to try to stop Galactus, but the risk to Sue and Reed's infant son Franklin is something the family has to navigate. New 'Fantastic Four' review: Family dramedy with more VFX than most An appealing and refreshing take on a superhero story, Fantastic Four gives its characters time to sit in more intimate and emotional moments, and that's what makes the film compelling. For Kirby and Pascal's characters, that largely has to do with personal discussions about being parents, balancing their parental responsibilities with, literally, saving Earth. For Ben Grimm, those intimate story elements come through with a flirtatious relationship he has with Rachel Rozman (Natasha Lyonne), a similar arc to Johnny's interactions with the Silver Surfer. While Fantastic Four has all the spectacle of every other superhero movie, it's really a family dramedy with more visual effects than most. But the strongest story element in the film is this focus on how, despite all their extraordinary powers, Sue is supreme as the biggest superpower is being a mom. She is fiercely protective of her child. It's absolutely a cliché, but one that lends itself to the more grounded, humanizing narrative of Fantastic Four. The movie is a pleasing journey, an engaging ride that blends sarcastic humour with deeply emotional moments. The 1960s retro-future aesthetic is particularly appealing, and creates interesting dimensions with the heavy CGI that comes with a superhero film. But while Fantastic Four is an enjoyable watch, it feels more like setup for more storytelling. It is in fact a film that you can watch on its own and have a great time with, but it lacks a bit of excitement because you feel like there is so much more story to tell. Mid- and post-credit scenes in 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' While we won't spoil exactly what these scenes hold, we will advise that there is both a mid-credits scene and post-credits scene in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and they are important, so make sure you stay until the end.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles To Face Godzilla In Epic New Crossover
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles square off against Godzilla, king of monsters, in a crossover ... More miniseries due out from IDW Publishing in November, 2026. The world's two favorite multibillion dollar reptile franchises, Nickelodeon's heroes on the half-shell, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Toho's Godzilla, the king of monsters, will collide in a new mini-series due out this November from IDW Publishing, the company announced today at a San Diego Comic-Convention panel that also kicked off a new era and a new Godzilla #1. According to the announcement, the Godzilla crossover series reveals that the original purpose of the Foot Clan was to protect Japan from the giant monsters known as kaiju, of whom Godzilla is the most fearsome. When Godzilla and pals reappear, the Foot Clan is not only unprepared to stop them, but their current leader, long-time Turtle-hater Shredder, may even be behind the attacks! Could he be after some genetic secret of the kaiju that would allow him to engineer upgraded henchmen capable of accomplishing his evil schemes? Luckily Leonardo, Raphael, Michaelangelo and Donatello are on the case, high-tailing it to Japan to confront their fiercest foe yet: a certain hundred-foot tall scaly beast with radioactive halitosis. Can they tame the kaiju and stop Shredder's evil scheme? Spoilers: probably, but it will be lots of fun to watch them try. Writer Tim Seeley and artist Fero Pe lead the creative team behind the project for IDW. Seeley has written IDW's top-selling, fan-favorite ongoing Godzilla series. Pe drew the popular TMNT x Stranger Things crossover in 2023. 'There are maybe two or three other ideas in the entire cultural landscape that are as instantly iconic, as perfect in their clarity and conception, as the King of the Monsters and the heroes in a half-shell,' said Jake Williams, editor of the series for IDW, who had words of praise for his creative team. 'Mashing them up has been a complete and utter joy. These characters are so perfectly realized that working on this comic feels like bearing witness to a natural encounter between living and breathing beings.' FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder IDW, historically a top-5 publisher of comics and graphic novels over the past few decades, has recently ridden back to success thanks to its work on licensed books like TMNT and Godzilla. IDW's Kai-Sei era, the new Godzilla shared universe, is their top-selling title yet, with more than 80k orders for the debut issue of the new ongoing series. The crossover continues a recent popular industry trend of mashing up characters from different franchises and universes. Interior page from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Godzilla #1 Godzilla is no stranger to these kinds of events. Thanks to the success of Toho's much-anticipated Godzilla: Minus One in 2023, and the ongoing monsters franchise from Legendary, the already-enormous kaiju is bigger than ever, and has been stomping a path of destruction through the comics industry. DC and Marvel have both pitted their superheroes against Big Green, and Legendary has published in-universe comics tied to their own continuity around the character. The division of Godzilla lore into various 'eras' helps keep these storylines on their own tracks. At SDCC, Godzilla licensor Toho is hosting a bunch of events and announcing new product partnerships including: The first issue of IDW's TMNT x Godzilla goes on sale November 12, 2025. Retailers are encouraged to get orders in by October 6. Fans can find it at their local comics shop. Cover to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Godzilla #1 from IDW Publishing.
