Sister Irene actor Taissa Farmiga reveals one of her favorite career experiences was starring in The Conjuring Universe film The Nun. The Nun II star Taissa Farmiga recently revealed that she considers starring in the first Nun film to be one of the highlights of her career. The actor, who plays Sister Irene in The Nun and The Nun II, recently appeared on the Happy Sad Confused podcast to discuss the latest Conjuring Universe installment, The Nun II. During the discussion, Farmiga disclosed why she calls The Nun one of the best experiences in her career. "I love The Nun," the actor stated. "I mean, I loved that whole experience. I think it's one of the performances that when I first watched it, I was so genuinely happy with the work that I did, and I saw all my prep work and I saw all of it go into my performance. And I'm very hard on myself, I'm a perfectionist, it's not something that's easy for me to say. And it felt so good to see something come o

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's new trailer includes reveals, insights, and a release date for fans. During the latest Sony State of Play, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth got a new trailer that revealed numerous details about the upcoming title. The game is the second part of the “Remake” saga, which started in 2020. The initial title focused on the events of Midgar, from Cloud Strife joining Avalanche up to the death of the Shrinra President and the first clash with Sephiroth. Strewn throughout that first part were new elements to the legend, including new missions, expanded character stories, and teases of things changing in one form or another. In Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the crew from Avalanche have left Midgar and are on the hunt for Sephiroth while also trying to save the planet before Shinra and others fully drain its energy.

Dave Filoni's latest Star Wars Disney+ show, Ahsoka, proves that he may be the best choice to be in charge of the franchise's future. Ahsoka is the latest offering from showrunner Dave Filoni, expanding the Star Wars universe in new and exciting directions. The new Disney+ series follows Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) and her Padawan, Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) as they struggle to keep the villainous Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) from returning to their galaxy. In its first few episodes, Ahsoka has been filled with numerous high points, as audiences revel in the expert storytelling from Filoni and the other creators behind the exciting new Star Wars project. Dave Filoni has been part of Star Wars for many years now, contributing to some of the best television series the franchise has ever seen. His work in the franchise began with the beloved 2008 animated series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Later, Filoni would have a major part in the development of other animated

Aquaman 2 gives Black Manta a powerful new weapon, and the upgrade may be best on some of the King of Atlantis' comics from the New 52 reboot. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is Aquaman's next cinematic adventure, with Jason Momoa's take on Arthur Curry forced to defend his new underwater kingdom against an old enemy. It's also the last entry in the DC Extended Universe, which was somewhat known for its divergences from the comic books. Despite these changes to the source material, it seems that the next Aquaman is going all in on one of the hero's best comic books runs ever. Geoff Johns' run on Aquaman revolutionized the character, putting him back in the limelight and giving him the mainstream success needed to do away with his laughable reputation from beforehand. It heavily informed the first DCEU movie focused on the King of Atlantis, and that's seemingly going to be the case again. This can notably be seen in the movie's teasers, which showcase a fami

Tokusatsu is usually reserved for live-action and not anime, though that may change with two popular manga, one of which is getting an anime. Anime is one of Japan's biggest cultural exports, but it's not the only form of media that the country is known for. Though some aren't as aware of the actual term, "tokusatsu" has also left Japan and gone to other countries in other forms. Known for brightly colored heroes and monsters of varying sizes, this genre showcases the Japanese take on superheroes. Strangely enough, however, it's not very common to see tokusatsu anime. That may finally change with two manga franchises, one of which is soon to receive an anime adaptation. Incorporating elements of current trends in both superhero fiction and anime/manga, Go! Go! Loser Ranger and The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World are some of the most blatant takes on animated tokusatsu in modern times. Given how successful one in particular has become, it may

Ghost-Maker has decided to leave Batman Incorporated behind, but this might have been the best thing that could have happened to the team. The conclusion of Ed Brisson's Batman Incorporated run left the team with a lukewarm victory, while Joker Incorporated was defeated, several characters were put out of commission and team leader Ghost-Maker decided to abandon the international team. Now without a leader, Batman Incorporated has been left in a precarious position, with their future uncertain. So will Batman Incorporated continue to operate after the series conclusion? If so, who will remain a part of the team, or more importantly, who will lead the those who stay onboard? While not all these questions received answers by the comic run's conclusion, it doesn't look like Batman Inc. is over just yet. Ghost-Maker Was A Terrible Leader For Batman Inc While usually losing a leader would severely damage a team, Ed Brisson's Batman Incorporated made it clear that the interna

Aquaman and Black Manta's rivalry is stronger than ever in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, making them the only DC rivals to thrive in the DCEU. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is the last entry in the DC Extended Universe, bringing back Jason Momoa's Aquaman for one final adventure. The main threat is Black Manta, who also returns from the first movie. With his hatred for Arthur Curry reaching a fever pitch, Black Manta's relationship with the King of Atlantis is officially the best hero/villain rivalry in the DCEU. Most of the other Justice League members had somewhat disappointing takes on their most iconic rivalries from the comics. In the case of one hero, in particular, he never really faced any of his classic villains. Aquaman definitely won't suffer from that problem, with his war against Black Manta potentially ending the DCEU on a high note. The Trailer for Aquaman 2 Brings Back the Hero's Greatest Enemy In the first full trailer for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdo

Agatha: Darkhold Diaries star Aubrey Plaza reveals the reason why she failed her audition for one of the roles in Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool 2. Parks and Recreation vet Aubrey Plaza confirmed that she previously auditioned for one of the roles in 2018’s Deadpool 2. Before signing on to Disney+’s Agatha: Darkhold Diaries series, Plaza was nearly cast in another high-profile Marvel project. In an interview with Cosmopolitan, Plaza admitted that her failed Deadpool 2 audition was probably the one that she’s the most disappointed in out of all the roles she wanted to get but didn’t. She explained that she wasn’t in a good condition when she did her audition for the Ryan Reynolds-led superhero sequel, since her focus was split with another project she’s filming at the time. Coincidentally, the said project was FX’s Legion, a TV adaptation centered around an X-Men character. "I don’t know, the one that sticks out to me for some reason, I think it was Deadpool 2. I had just come off a plane

Netflix shares a sneak peek of the miniseries Griselda, created by the team behind Narcos & starring Sofía Vergara as Miami drug lord Griselda Blanco. Netflix gives viewers their first look at the upcoming miniseries Griselda, produced by and starring Sofía Vergara. First shared by Entertainment Weekly, the preview images show Vergara in the title role as Griselda Blanco, a Colombian immigrant who became involved in America's burgeoning cocaine business in the 1970s and a prominent figure in the Miami drug wars of '80's. The series was created by Eric Newman and Ingrid Escajeda alongside Doug Miro and Carlo Bernand, who previously created the similarly-themed Narcos for the streamer. Another Narcos alum, Andrés Baiz, will direct the series, though he specified that Griselda will have a different feel to the team's previous collaboration. "The stylistic landmarks of Narcos are not in Griselda," Baiz explained. "Griselda has its own identity ... its own

Five Nights at Freddy's director Emma Tammi explains how Steven Spielberg and Todd Phillip's Joker influenced the upcoming horror movie. Five Nights at Freddy's director Emma Tammi recently revealed how Steven Spielberg's filmography and the 2019 DC film Joker influenced the upcoming horror movie. "We were constantly referencing Steven Spielberg – you know, that childhood wonderment quality," Tammi told Total Film. "Alongside kind of a darker world that felt akin to Joker." She also revealed that some of the scenes "that have to do with our main character's backstory and memory were also influenced by a [Terrence] Malick-esque camera style, to give them a more dreamlike quality… those scenes that were taking place in forest campground settings. There were a lot of different types of references we were pulling to really craft something that felt unique." Five Nights at Freddy's is based on the eponymous point-and-click survival horro

The famed manga Yu Yu Hakusho, which became a beloved anime, has finally been put online for everyone to read and enjoy. Viz Media has compiled the entire Yu Yu Hakusho manga collection and put it online for fans to read. YYK's animation adaptation recently celebrated its 30th anniversary, but despite the franchise's popularity, the manga has been hard to find, especially in the digital sense. Physical editions can be found online, but their prices are rather high. However, Viz Media has corrected this issue by uploading every chapter, which is 175 total, to their Shonen Jump service. The first three chapters are free to read, while the rest can be unlocked by signing up for their monthly service. Readers can do so for under $3. What Is Yu Yu Hakusho? To those who haven't had a chance to enjoy the manga or the anime, here's an official description for Yu Yu Hakusho: "Yusuke Urameshi was a tough teen delinquent until one selfless act changed his life...by ending it.

Spider-Man's rampage is heading for Mary Jane's boyfriend, and only Norman Osborn can save him in this CBR exclusive preview of Amazing Spider-Man #34 Spider-Man's dark rampage is headed for Mary Jane's new boyfriend, Paul, with only Norman Osborn, of all people, standing in his way in this CBR exclusive preview of next week's Amazing Spider-Man #34. Amazing Spider-Man #34.comes from writer Zeb Wells, artist Patrick Gleason, colorist Marcio Menyz and letterer VC's Joe Caramagna, as it continues to follow the shocking new status quo for Spider-Man after Kraven the Hunter successfully extracted the Sins of Norman Osborn from Queen Goblin, and placed it into a spear. Kraven planned to stab Osborn with the spear, but instead, Spider-Man stepped in and took the blow meant for Osborn. The problem is that that meant that Peter Parker now is the current host for the Sins of Norman Osborn, which means that he is now very much NOT your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man any

Donghua is increasingly popular, but concerns over its potential replacing anime are ignoring the medium's biggest hurdles to long-term success. Anime is one of the most popular mediums around the world, with its success reaching far beyond its native land of Japan. It's part of the reason why Japan as a whole has made more cultural inroads than other Asian countries, with South Korean media only becoming a major international force in the past decade. Now, however, Japanese animation is facing stiff competition from China. Referred to as donghua, Chinese animation is beginning to give anime a run for its money. This has some anime industry veterans worried about the future of the country's animated works, especially given concerns over creativity. While these fears might be valid, it's highly unlikely that donghua will come to truly compete with anime anytime soon. How Is Donghua Different from Anime? Donghua isn't a modern phenomenon, and Chinese animation has bee

Peacock shares an intense opening fight sequence from The Continental, as the spin-off expands the John Wick universe. Starz and Peacock have released a sneak peek from the first episode of The Continental: From the World of John Wick. The 4-minute opening scene showcases a gripping fight sequence from the upcoming John Wick spin-off series, as it attempts to mimic the essence of the original. The clip features Ben Robson as Winston Scott's brother Frankie, entangled in a high-stakes heist within the titular hotel's vault. The clip can be viewed in full below, courtesy of Peacock on YouTube. In a dramatic showdown of gunfire and some impressive martial arts moves, accurately depicting the John Wick films, viewers witness Frankie skillfully fighting an army of goons, as he tries to climb up the stairwell of the hotel, having stolen a mysterious MacGuffin. Seizing an opportunity for escape, Frankie jumps out through a window of a higher floor, as he lands on the ground, having in

Many TV characters capture one idea. Josh Charles' performance as Dan Rydell in Sports Night embodies more than one when examined 25 years later. Sports Night is still a part of the television lexicon, 25 years after its debut on ABC, for a myriad of reasons. The series introduced TV viewers to a then still nascent Aaron Sorkin, who had penned the Academy Award-nominated films A Few Good Men and The American President -- the former based on his successful Broadway play -- but had yet to become a bona fide superstar. It became Exhibit A that laugh tracks don't work and audiences don't need to be told what's funny. It made people who didn't care about sports understand at least a few things about sports. But the primary reason why the series continues to be a cult hit, far outliving its original two-season run, is its wonderful characters. Sorkin made some bold choices and some bewildering choices in developing them, but he never played by the rules of the sitcom game

A list of alleged episode titles for What If...?'s second season suggests that fans will finally see the Gamora-centric episode omitted from Season 1. What If...? Season 2 will make good on head writer A.C. Bradley's promise to air the animated anthology series' "lost" Gamora episode, according to a recent rumor. The rumor comes via The Nerd Rage Podcast, which recently posted a list of purported episode titles for What If...? Season 2 on X. This list included an installment called "What If…? Gamora Killed Thanos," which seemingly aligns with the basic premise of an entry famously developed for, but ultimately cut from, What If...? Season 1. Bradley assured Marvel Cinematic Universe fans that the untold story would be included with What If...?'s second batch of episodes back in October 2021, and The Nerd Rage Podcast's episode title list would appear to bear this out. That said, as neither Marvel Studios nor Disney+ has verified the accuracy of t

Ahsoka Episode 5, "Part Five: Shadow Warrior," seemingly removes any doubt that one of the Star Wars show's characters can use the Force. Ahsoka Episode 5, "Part Five: Shadow Warrior," just confirmed that Jacen Syndulla (Evan Whitten) is Force-sensitive. While many fans assumed that Jacen inherited the ability to use the Force from his father, Star Wars Rebels' Kanan Jarrus, Ahsoka's fifth installment appears to make this supposition canon. Jacen's apparent connection to the Force is demonstrated midway through "Part Five: Shadow Warrior," when he alone can "hear" the duel between Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) and Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) in the World Between Worlds. Previous episodes of Ahsoka established that Jacen dreams of becoming a Jedi Knight like his late father, and this feat suggests the green-haired tyke may have what it takes to do so. That said, Jacen's Force sensitivity wasn't the most talked abou

Concept art created for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness reveals the Scarlet Witch's original horrifying crown of her own flesh. While Scarlet Witch in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness may have been scary already, her first redesign was even more horrifying. Per a selection of images posted on Reddit that originally appeared in Marvel Studios' Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: The Art of the Movie, Wanda's embracing of the Darkhold was originally meant to physically transform her. This version of the character seemingly wore her crown as he own skin with stretches of flesh covering her glowing red eyes. Several other versions continue the trend of Scarlet Witch's gruesome headpiece with one covering her in what appears to be fire and blood and another warping the actual look of the crown. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness shocked audiences by unleashing the full might of the Scarlet Witch on the titular superhero. Following the

A Friends fan theory explains why fan-favorite couple Ross and Rachel had an on-and-off relationship for the entire duration of the show. Friends ran for ten seasons, the last one airing in 2004. Despite the fact that the series hasn't been on air for almost two decades and some of Friends' storylines are problematic, the goofy show has gathered a devoted audience and keeps entertaining fans of different generations. The comedy sitcom focuses on the life of six different, yet charming characters, as they navigate life in New York in their 20s, and it includes a lot of rocky relationships. One of the most familiar aspects of Friends was Ross and Rachel's will-they-won't-they relationship, which happens throughout the entire series. Their romance included unrequited love, jealousy, cheating, pregnancy, and the famous "we were on a break" dilemma. The two had an on-and-off relationship throughout the sitcom's ten seasons, with the audience constantly wonderin

Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo opens up about how the anger he felt during his formative years informed his portrayal of the Jade Giant. Marvel Cinematic Universe veteran Mark Ruffalo drew on the rage he felt during his early years to help him bring the Hulk to life on the big screen. Ruffalo discussed how his childhood anger informed his portrayal of Bruce Banner's green-skinned alter-ego during an Emerald City Comic-Con 2023 panel, excerpts from which recently resurfaced online. "I think we all probably -- little kids really relate to the Hulk, because… everyone's always telling them, 'Don't! Stop! Stop it! Don't do that! You'll break things! You're out of control!' That was my whole childhood and much of my teens," he said. "That anger, that unexpressed anger, as nice as I might seem, my kids would probably tell you I could be angry. That's always been something that I've related to, especially when I was younger." "I mean, I
