Warner Bros. seemingly has been going through damage control for the last few years. While the more notorious stories about the studio’s shake-ups come from their DC films department, David Zaslav’s reign has also included the way their streaming service alters its library and information, as well as the shockingly shortened theatrical release windows given to newly premiered films. As the company attempts to recover from the reported $100 million loss on films like Mickey 17, according to Deadline, the Water Tower studio is shuffling their schedule as a strategy to keep them in the black and out of the red.

A lot of the schedule changes were affected by the movies that the studio had already booked for IMAX theaters. Premium screens are coveted for big movie releases and Warners was careful not to lose the precious commodity. The company would also move potential tentpoles up into this...

There have been rumblings for several months that CIA Director Valentina Allegra de Fontaine is the new owner of Avengers Tower. The building was sold way back in 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming, though Marvel Studios has waited until Thunderbolts* to reveal who bought it from Tony Stark.

The latest Thunderbolts* trailer confirmed that Val owns the building and that she's making some changes to it, adding a structure with a striking similarity to The Sentry's Watchtower on top.

Talking to Empire Online, filmmaker Jake Schreier confirmed Avengers Tower has now been renamed the "Watchtower" and teased, "We know what that tower means. Who’s the person you would least like to own that tower, that means so much to so many people? Can you use that as a symbol of things taking a darker turn?"

Part of that darker turn with be Val's man-made superhero The Sentry unleashing hell on New York City as The Void.

Captain America: Brave New Worldis finally in theaters, following Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson as he embarks on a high-flying adventure and earns the mantle of the new Captain America. The latest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe follows Sam as he faces enemies from all sides, including a terrorist organization known as the Serpent Society and the Leader, a sinister schemer manipulating world events from the shadows. To make matters worse, Cap also struggles with the new President of the United States, General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, who proves to be a major hurdle to overcome in the pursuit of peace in a world increasingly on the verge of war.

While Brave New World has received mixed reviews in its first week of release, the fourth Captain America...

Thunderbolts*promises to bring the Marvel Cinematic Universe back to form with an entertaining team-up adventure featuring several colorful characters. Set to hit theaters on May 2, the upcoming film brings together Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), U.S. Agent (Wyatt Russell), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), Red Guardian (David Harbour), and Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko) as a team of black ops agents who discover an ultra-powerful new superhuman named Bob (Lewis Pullman), who poses a potential threat to them--and to the entire world.

Thunderbolts* solves a major MCU mystery introduced in Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2017. The McU's first Spider-Man film revealed that Tony Stark had sold Avengers Tower, the former headquarters of Earth's Mightiest Heroes in New York City, to a mysterious buyer. Audiences have spent...

Paradise Season 1, Episode 5, "In the Palaces of Crowned Kings," is the best episode yet at the perfect time. The Hulu show shifts its perspective to that of Cal Bradford, played beautifully by actor James Marsden, truly and completely revealing Cal as a person and not just the President. At the same time, Cal's personal narrative reinforces the bigger themes and ideas of the series as a whole.

Dragon Ball’s Red Ribbon Army Saga has featured some of the anime’s best episodes and most creative combat, especially now that it’s right in the middle of this explosive story arc. Goku faced Red Ribbon frustrations before his infiltration of Muscle Tower, but this dungeon-like takedown has become the storyline’s climax so far. Dragon Ball spends six episodes in Muscle Tower, which is nearly as long as the anime spent on the 21st World Tournament.

These Muscle Tower episodes have been enlightening examples of Dragon Ball in its purest form and Dragon Ball Episode 41, “The Fall of Muscle Tower,” finds the perfect way to bring this conflict to a close. Goku has overcome Androids, ninjas, and electrifying monster abominations. However, “The Fall of Muscle Tower” becomes Goku’s fiercest Muscle Tower challenge yet, since it’s his new friend’s loyalty that’s put on the line.

Stephen King teasing more Mid-World stories bodes well for Mike Flanagan's The Dark Tower show. Flanagan has directed film adaptations of the King novels Gerald's Game and Doctor Sleep. He also directed an adaptation of the short story The Life of Chuck, set for a theatrical release in May 2025. Adapting King's work is set to continue with Mike Flanagan's Dark Tower series that is still in development. This is not the only major Dark Tower universe project currently in the works, though, with King teasing that he is writing a new Dark Tower book.

In October 2024, King shared on X (formerly Twitter), that he was back "in Mid-World...and the Territories." This tease made it unclear whether the developing story is more of a Dark Tower book, as per the Mid-World reference, or if the Territories mention means that the story will be the third installment in The Talisman series.

There are mentions of a new battle event in Genshin Impact 5.4 leaks and, while combat-focused events are quite frequent in the action RPG by HoYoverse, this feels like the best update in the game in quite some time.

The update is also going to host the annual Lantern Rite Festival, which will be somewhat accompanied by the release of the Liyue character Lan Yan in Genshin Impact.

Even with the attention turned toward the currently available content, some of it is shifting toward the next patch as the Version 5.4 beta tests have commenced. With the tests already happening, a lot of information about the upcoming patch is starting to leak. This includes details about the rumored character Yumemizuki Mizuki, as well as...

Spoilers for The Infinity Watch #1!Marvel’s The Avengers are Earth’s Mightiest Heroes for a reason, with their downtime in between defeating the latest super threat and saving the multiverse from utter destruction being little, if any at all. When they finally did have a moment to relax, the Avengers once took refuge in Avengers Tower, with the team’s old pal Phil Coulson recently getting his own super team, Infinity Watch, complete with a home base that would make the Avengers jealous.

Introduced as Stark Tower in 2005 but more often referred to as Avengers Tower once the team moved into its topmost floors in New Avengers #3, this headquarters served as the Avengers’ main base before and after the Civil War era of Marvel Comics and served as a replacement home for the team post-Avengers Mansion destruction.

But now, in the premiere issue of The Infinity Watch, Phil Coulson...

The recent tease by Stephen King that he's returning to Mid-World and the Territories is even more exciting when considered in the context of the upcoming anthology based on his work. The recently-announced The End of the World As We Know It anthology is a first for Stephen King, a surprising fact considering his long career has already seen so many notable firsts. The anthology will find multiple horror writers coming together to pen stories that are not just inspired by King or inspired by one of his classic novels, but actually set in the world of Stephen King's The Stand.

Shockingly, despite Stephen King's interconnected book universe and deep lore, it's the first time anything has been set in one of his universes that he himself hasn't written. As such, it's a really fascinating project with a lot of potential that could, in turn, get King's own creative juices...

Legends. Legends are special and live on far after the legend themselves have passed from this plane of existence. There are many legends in the world of film and specifically the realm of horror, but none can compare with Vincent Price. He belongs with the greats of not only the horror genre but of film specifically. His career would wind up spanning the black and white film world but also the advent of color and television. He was a renaissance man with a love of art, his fans, and he would embrace his role in the world of horror wholeheartedly. Today on What Happened to This Horror Celebrity, we’re going to look back at the life of one of the world of horror’s true kings, Vincent Price.

Vincent Price was born on May 27th, 1911, in St. Louis Missouri. If this surprises you, well it came as a shock...

Nikolaj Arcel's 2017 adaptation of Stephen King's The Dark Tower, with its deep lore and mythology, may leave some audiences with questions about the ending. Truth be told, The Dark Tower, which has recently hit Netflix, is only an adaptation of King's books in name only; some of the story beats are the same but happen far earlier than they do in the books, while others are changed entirely from the original story. The gunslinger protagonist, Roland of Gilead (Idris Elba), is also wildly different than in the books, with his core motivation being completely different.

Those who know the backstory of The Dark Tower adaptation won't find this surprising. The production was famously troubled, requiring multiple rewrites, reshoots, and editing compromises that come through in the finished product. The Dark Tower's strong cast, led by Elba and Matthew McConaughey in his first villain role, was a stellar...

Arguably the greatest horror writer ever, Stephen King climbed the ladder to success in both literature and cinema by creating some of the most unique horror stories of all time. Over the last forty-plus years, King's works have entertained readers and audiences. Fans completely adore the sprawling horror universe he has created. One of the most engaging parts of King's works is the various monsters and villains he constructs for his stories. Each one is more terrifying than the next.

Each Stephen King monster brings something different to his expansive storytelling universe. Many of his characters (especially the villains) have crossed over from one story to the next. Most notably, Randall Flagg has appeared in many stories and with many names. However, some have appeared only once, like El Cuco, and have been even more frightening. There are many great Stephen King monsters, and some are better than others.

Our journey down the Witches’ Road is quickly coming to a close and we inch one step closer to the end in the penultimate episode of Agatha All Along, which dropped the same night as the finale giving fans a super-sized finale event.

Heading into the final two episodes of the season, Agatha’s makeshift coven is hanging on by a thread having just lost yet another member in episode 7 when Lilia sacrificed herself after completing her trial on the road. The episode was a masterclass in acting from Patti LuPone, whose character gave her own life in order to take out the Salem Seven – or at least five members of the Salem 7 as evident in the five bodies hitting the ceiling after Lilia flipped the Tower Reversed card from her trial sending the members of the Salem 7 falling to their deaths and buying Agatha, Billy and Jen time to...

Stephen King's risky ending to The Dark Tower series proved to be a deeply satisfying conclusion. The first Dark Tower book, The Gunslinger, was published in 1982, combining several short stories that King previously wrote. The subsequent Dark Tower books would be published over the span of more than two decades, with the final book in the series, The Dark Tower, released in 2004. An eighth book, The Wind Through the Keyhole, which takes place between the fourth and fifth installments, was later published in 2012.

After seven novels that were published over 22 years, and a multiverse that connects to many Stephen King books outside The Dark Tower series, ending cohesively and satisfyingly felt like a nearly impossible challenge. Roland Deschain ultimately reaching the titular Dark Tower after his long and arduous journey felt like an inevitability, but that alone would not make the ending to such an intricate series feel rewarding.

Stephen King hints at new The Dark Tower stories while Mike Flanagan's adaptation continues to take shape. The final book in the series, The Dark Tower, was published in 2004, although King later published an eighth novel, The Wind Through the Keyhole, which takes place between the fourth and fifth installments. Flanagan's Dark Tower adaptation series was confirmed in 2022 in the aftermath of the poor reception to The Dark Tower movie adaptation released in 2017, which starred Idris Elba.

On X (formerly Twitter), King has now teased that he is working on new Dark Tower stories as he reveals that he is "back in Mid-World...and the Territories." Check out his post below:

Warning: There are spoilers ahead for From season 3, episode 6.

From season 3, episode 6, "Scar Tissue" brings a shocking twist to the pregnancy of Fatima (Pegah Ghafoori). Fatima first shared with Ellis (Corteon Moore) in season 2 that she was pregnant, despite being unable to conceive in the outside world. What they wanted to believe was a miracle has quickly taken a sinister turn, particularly in From season 3, episode 2, when Fatima began to crave and willingly eat rotten crops while she felt unable to stomach any other food.

Her cravings escalate into even more unnatural territory in From season 3, episode 4, as Fatima begins consuming blood from the dead body of Nicky (Tamara Fifield). Fatima does not know what is wrong with her and is scared of what the truth may be. The answer to this mystery begins to become clearer with the ambulance that brings Tabitha Matthews (Catalina Sandino Moreno) back to the Town,...

Agatha All Along's latest episode, "Death's Hand in Mine," opens with Lilia Calderu falling through the darkness. Agatha Harkness and Billy Maximoff, meanwhile, are still heading down the Witches' Road; he'll get what he wants when they reach the end, but declares that the Scarlet Witch is not his mom. He already has a mom (Rebecca Kaplan). 

Still, Billy wonders whether Wanda Maximoff is really dead to which Agatha says "yes." Then "no." And, finally, "maybe."

They reach the next trial and this one is all about divination and Tarot cards. Unsurprisingly, neither of them is particularly well-suited to figuring out what needs to be done. Swords start falling from the ceiling before it begins to lower, leaving Agatha and Billy mere moments before they're impaled.

Warning! This article contains spoilers for Agatha All Along episode 7.

Agatha All Along episode 7 is chock-full of story reveals as its predecessor was, this time linked primarily to the character of Lilia Calderu. As has been the case with the McU's Witches' Road in previous installments, Agatha All Along episode 7 provided another trial for the coven to overcome. By the time of Agatha All Along episode 7's ending, it became clear which member of the coven this specific trial belonged to.

The trial involved a real-life spiritual practice: Tarot Card reading. This coincided with further questions about Billy Maximoff after Agatha All Along episode 6's ending teased his search for his brother, Tommy. Above all else, Agatha All Along's cast was altered even further due to major character deaths, hints at untold power for others, and the massive story reveal that links to Rio Vidal's true identity.

Following the immense success of Solo Leveling and Tower of God, the Korean manhwa series has generated significant buzz online, captivating several new readers to the lesser-known world of Korean Webtoons. Despite generating an enormous fanbase, many fans aren’t aware of the anime’s roots and rise as a popular Korean webtoon (manhwa) series.

Despite the four-year-long delay in its release, Tower of God Season 2 took the entire internet by storm. After Rachel’s betrayal, Season 2 showcases Baam starting from scratch on the quest to climb the Tower. The Tower is divided into multiple floors, each with unique environments and challenges, governed by powerful entities, called Administrators.

Sure, some mysteries were solved by fans before the show revealed them. However, many questions remain unanswered. The series thrives on its enigmatic framework, providing fans with plenty to anticipate.

Given this, we decided to revisit the cards featured in the series. In a previous article, we explained the meaning of Agatha’s card. In this article, we will discuss the “Tower Reversed” card and its significance, which may provide insights into the series’ future.

Solo Leveling is all the rage with its stunning visuals and power-packed battle scenes. Apart from being one of the popular manhwas, the animated series is turning heads. It is clear in the anime’s rank among the most famous series list by Crunchyroll. The series has been a massive hit albeit the pacing issue. Amidst its success, the series is yet to exceed a benchmark that its director set.

People may deem the benchmark as either One Piece or Naruto. That, however, isn’t the case with this series. On the contrary, the director aspired to surpass the Sword Art Online franchise. With the manhwa’s sales and popularity, this is anything but a far-fetched dream.

The Clock Tower is an early boss in Epic Mickey: Rebrushed. You will encounter this enemy at the end of Gremlin Village. The boss serves as a slight corruption of Its A Small World, and it is up to Mickey to fix things. However, you can choose whether this means repairing the clock or destroying it entirely. Both are viable options, and you may want to try a different route in a future playthrough.

Throughout Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, you will have two art materials to use: Paint and Thinner. The former heals creatures, while the latter erases them from existence. You will need to make use of both depending on the situation, or challenge yourself to primarily use only one.

The following contains spoilers for Only Murders in the Building Season 4, Episode 4, "The Stunt Man," which debuted Sept. 17 on Hulu.

One of Only Murders in the Building's main hooks will always be who's the killer. What makes the sleuthing drama even more interesting is that it's usually someone in the Arconia hotel, or someone close to Mabel, Charles and Oliver in their personal lives, even if it's outside the hotel.

The ‘Thunderbolts*’ trailer was recently released. While leaks and clips have been circulating since its debut at the D23 event, we now have a clearer view of the hints and characters featured in the film.

‘Thunderbolts’ will introduce the MCU’s version of the Suicide Squad to the broader universe and will also showcase one of the most powerful characters in Marvel Comics—Sentry.

Recently, we explored an intriguing theory suggesting that Sentry will be a manufactured superhero in the MCU. This idea stems from the “blueprints” visible in one of the trailer scenes.

If you pay close attention, you can see various options for customizing Sentry’s hair and belt buckle, with the possibility of even more features being included in the film that weren’t shown in the trailer.

The trailer also provided our first glimpse of blueprints labeled “The Watchtower,” which almost certainly references Sentry’s Watchtower from the comics.

The first official teaser trailer for Thunderbolts* clocks in at a staggering three and a half minutes, which means there are plenty of big reveals and details to unpack. Thunderbolts* was initially announced by Marvel in 2022 at San Diego Comic Con, and since then, speculation about the film's place in the MCU and its casting has been ongoing. Despite the obvious connection to another super team in the comics, and several characters in common, Thunderbolts* has steadily proven ahead of release that the movie will be moving in a different direction.

While the asterisk after the title has been added to clarify that the movie is setting its own course, the trailer does even more to back up this idea with incredible moments that build anticipation and excitement for what is to come. Despite the teaser trailer being dropped more than eight months ahead of the film's release, it certainly...

Many of Stephen King's books connect to The Dark Tower series, but few are as connected as The Stand. Roland Deschain's journey to the Dark Tower spans multiple universes and features familiar characters from many of King's other stories, including Father Donald Callahan from Salem's Lot and Ted Brautigan from Hearts in Atlantis. The Dark Tower series is the linchpin that connects all these stories and the multiverse of King's works together.

Mike Flanagan's upcoming Dark Tower adaptation will see King's ambitious series translated into the format of a streaming show. While the 2017 film adaptation starring Idris Elba was a more self-contained version of the story, Flanagan's series is expected to be a more faithful adaptation that will fully embrace the connections to King's other works. This includes the connections to The Stand, which are a vital part of The Dark Tower's world-building and its themes.

Even weeks after the series finale's debut on Netflix, The Umbrella Academy season 4's Eiffel Tower plot hole is really bothering me. It's worth pointing out that I think Umbrella Academy's ending had a lot of problems. After a lot of time-hopping, intricately woven setup, there was very little pay off in the rushed, six-episode final outing. Season 4 takes place in the reset Umbrella Academy timeline the one the Hargreeves siblings made in season 3's conclusion. While the siblings lead mundane lives, a cult called The Keepers is gathering evidence of the existence of other timelines.

The Keepers' conspiracy theory hinges on the artifacts they collect objects, from newspaper clippings to Umbrella Academy-themed merchandise, that could only exist in another timeline. Although I found The Keepers' so-called "Umbrella Effect" compelling, the show's focus on shoehorning in Umbrella Academy Easter eggs might have led to the frustrating Eiffel Tower plot hole.

The Dark Tower movie tried to adapt Stephen King's epic series but fell short with fans due to story changes and missing characters. The ailed film adaptation led to a new TV series helmed by Mike Flanagan, aiming to deliver a faithful adaptation of King's epic fantasy. Flanagan's take on The Dark Tower series will focus on a more faithful adaptation of the source material, potentially redeeming past attempts.

"The Man in Black fled across the desert, and the Gunslinger followed" is the opening line to Stephen King's magnum opus The Dark Tower series. Over a period of 22 years, the seven volumes of Roland Deschain's journey across the ruined Mid-World to the Dark Tower captivated readers' imaginations. When the story finally came to the big screen, everyone was disappointed. While The Dark Tower was a failed Stephen King adaptation on film, a new series from Mike Flanagan could capture...

Mike Flanagan's The Dark Tower series must honor pivotal moments from Stephen King's novels for a faithful adaptation. A television format is more suitable for the epic scope of The Dark Tower, offering room for essential story elements. Incorporating key events like the Battle of Tull and Roland sacrificing Jake is crucial for character development in the adaptation.

In order for Mike Flanagan's The Dark Tower series to be a worthy adaptation of the source material, it needs to include several pivotal moments from Stephen King's novels. Beginning with The Gunslinger in 1982, The Dark Tower books tell a sprawling epic that connects to many of King's other works, including The Stand and Salem's Lot. The story's enormous scope that spans numerous universes makes an onscreen adaptation a tantalizing, yet daunting venture.

Tower of God was one of the first anime to establish itself as a potential heavy hitter for the 2020s. An adaptation of a massively popular webtoon, Tower of God featured a world and cast of characters unlike anything else. The series follows an innocent young boy named Bam, as he aims to climb the mysterious Tower to recover his friend, Rachel. While the Tower has a myriad of challenges, most of them involve the contestants doing battle with one another.

The first season of Tower of God featured some intense battles as everyone fought to make it to the next game. Their deadly battles made for some great television for action anime fans, and as fans get into season two, there's no better time to look back at some of the best fights of the first season.

Sauron's Barad-Dr and Saruman's Orthanc are the two key strongholds in Middle-earth's Third Age. The titular two towers represent different aspects of evil in Tolkien's exploration of darkness and villainy. Both structures predate the events of The Lord of the Rings, carrying historical significance in the narrative.

After watching The Lord of the Rings trilogy, viewers may be left wondering what, exactly, the titular two towers are in relation to Middle-earth's dense history and lore. The structures are important enough to be referenced in the subtitle of the trilogy's second film, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. In adapting J.R.R. Tolkien's novel of the same name, The Two Towers chronicles three storylines: Frodo and Sam's One Ring-destroying journey toward Mordor; Merry and Pippin's meeting with Treebeard the Ent; and Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli's run-in with the fractured kingdom of Rohan.

Memorably, The Two Towers culminates...
