During the summer of 2021, the Marvel Cinematic Universe ventured into the Marvel multiverse for the first time on a large scale with the premiere of Loki’s first season, known as The Multiverse Saga. Notably, the primary Loki character portrayed by Tom Hiddleston and Sylvie’s version of the character were removed to an unknown place called The Void. During this journey, they encountered various other versions of Asgard’s trickster god, including Kid Loki, played by Jack Veal. Unfortunately, Veal has been going through a difficult period lately, but there’s some good news following the widespread attention his “homeless and 17” TikTok videos received.

It’s hardly unexpected that Denzel Washington shines in Gladiator II, given his stellar acting background. Throughout his career, he has consistently been recognized as one of the greatest actors of his time, with two Academy Awards and numerous additional nominations to his name, alongside a myriad of other accolades. Notably, his repertoire includes both blockbuster hits and critically acclaimed projects. However, in Gladiator II, Washington delivers an exuberance on-screen that audiences haven’t witnessed from him previously.

James Gunn’s latest project, Creature Commandos, marks his third successive critically acclaimed venture with DC. However, it’s the initial offering from his new slate at DC Studios, where he serves as co-head. In a technical sense, this is the fifth highly praised project in a row following his oversight of Matt Reeves’ DC Elseworlds’ HBO series, The Penguin, and the acquisition of Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story at Sundance. While not initially planned as the start of a rebooted DC universe, the massive success of Peacemaker‘s first season on HBO Max (now known as Max) prompted them to ask Gunn for another streaming series. He penned all seven episodes of Creature Commandos without a contract, and just as he was finalizing details, he was offered the position by Warner Bros. Discovery to oversee the entire universe alongside his producer friend, Peter Safran. As such, Creature Commandos is the first production since the series was already in progress.

This year has been particularly exciting for “Lord of the Rings” enthusiasts, what with the news that Peter Jackson is working on another “LOTR” film and the second season of “Rings Of Power” keeping us on the edge of our seats.

Prior to its release, an anime adaptation has already been shown, and initial responses are now available.
