That’s not the case for The Blood of Dawnwalker, though.

James Gunn rebooted the DC Universe in July 2025 with Superman, introducing a silly spin on the Man of Steel (David Corenswet) who takes time out of fighting kaiju to save a squirrel.

The next part of the story arrives in just three weeks.

We got our first look on Monday at Scooby-Doo from Netflix's upcoming live-action series Scooby-Doo: Origins. The show is a modern re-imagining of the classic cartoon, which seems like it may do for Scooby-Doo what Riverdale did for Archie Comics by leaning more heavily into supernatural horror elements.

Even as Nintendo moves on to a new console, pressure over the original Joy-Con has been mounting for years now. In 2022, a European consumer group alleged that Nintendo's hardware components suffered noticeable damage after only a few months of use. This damage inevitably caused many Joy-Con to break.

The Dog Stars, a post-apocalyptic survival story, is coming to theaters on Aug. 28. The movie’s latest trailer shows desolate vistas and gunfights against Mad Max-style raiders. One of the film’s most obvious draws is its star-studded cast, which balances up-and-comers with seasoned hands.
