Jon Bernthal and Tom Holland‘s superhero trajectory is so intertwined, it could make its own comic book storyline. In 2015, on the set of the period drama “Pilgrimage,” Bernthal and Holland filmed each other’s audition tapes for their Marvel roles as the Punisher and Spider-Man, respectively. Now, after playing the parts for a decade, they share the screen for the first time in “Brand New Day.” And the Sony/Marvel movie, which is now playing in theaters, is their second project together in as many weeks, following Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey.” “It’s great to be able to do two in a…
This post contains spoilers from the premiere of “Fightland.” Proceed accordingly. In the first few minutes of Starz’s “Fightland,” which premieres today, Maduka “Duke” Kilroy achieves his greatest dream: with an uppercut that lays his opponent flat, the boxer secures the role of heavyweight champion of the world. “Duke’s worked his whole life to achieve that,” Howard Charles (“Whitstable Pearl”), who plays the fighter, tells me in the video above. “You become the heavyweight champ, you’re the baddest man on the planet. So yeah, Duke reaches the mountaintop, the summit, the zenith of his attainment. Then, of course, what follows…
Mahershala Ali won’t be Marvel‘s Blade. The two-time Oscar winner confirmed to GQ that he won’t star in a long-gestating reboot of the iconic vampire slayer — and he firmly suggested Marvel dropped the ball. “I’ve been doing this professionally for pushing 30 years now, and one thing I’ve learned is that what is for you is for you and what is not is not,” Ali said in the new interview. “For whatever reason, that project is not for me. If they wanted to do it, we would’ve done it. So I have to move on … Again, you had…

What a difference four years make. Back in 2022, Olivia Wilde arrived at the Venice Film Festival under the klieg lights of a scandal-hungry press corps eager to glean whatever details they could from the backstage drama swirling around her sophomore directorial effort, Don’t Worry Darling. Whatever awards ambitions she and Warner Bros. might have had for the sci-fi laced drama evaporated as the focus remained solely on the off-screen affairs and squabbles amongst the cast and creative team, as well as multiple Zapruder-like frame-by-frame analyses of video footage allegedly depicting Harry Styles spitting on Chris Pine. (Spoiler alert —…
Summer House alum West Wilson and conservative pundit Tomi Lahren are fighting over women’s sports — something few could have possibly had on their 2026 bingo cards. Lahren, 33, took issue with Wilson, 31, calling transgender athletes in sports a “non-existent issue” in a TikTok video last weekend, blasting him on her The Big Weekend Show and on X. “He ruined Summer House, and now he’s attacking the integrity of women’s sports?!” she captioned a post on Monday, July 27, adding a clip from her show. “Left wing loser, West Wilson.” Wilson quoted Lahren’s post on Thursday, July 30, writing,…
It looks like Tom Holland’s spoiler of yore — teasing Spider-Man in space for Avengers: Infinity War (2018) alongside the Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) cast — can take on new meaning with the post-credit scene at the end of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. There is just one short snippet after all of the credits have rolled in the movie, so be prepared to settle in all the way until the songs in the film are listed. The bookend of the film shows Ned’s (Jacob Batalon) Spider-Man tracker app interface with a voice alerting the user to a new location…
It’s been a pretty good two weeks for The Odyssey. Christopher Nolan’s Certified Fresh action fantasy exceeded expectations by earning over $124 million during its opening weekend, which was the director’s biggest debut since 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises. Per Variety, it was the third largest opening of 2026 — Toy Story 5 made $159 million, and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie earned $131 million — and has made almost $700 million globally since its July 17 release. Okay, I take back what I said about the movie having a “pretty good two weeks.” It’s been a very good two…

The ransom notes, including one claiming Nancy Guthrie died, have been released in full by the police. As we previously reported, media outlets received two notes from the alleged kidnapper shortly after Savannah Guthrie‘s mom disappeared almost six months ago. The first one requested money, while the second claimed Nancy had passed away. Now, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department has shared the full contents on the notes first sent to KOLD with the public — all in the hopes that it may lead to a tip that’ll bring this nightmare for the Guthrie family to an end.
