Marvel has officially revealed the shocking identity of its new Silver Surfer. For 60 years, the Silver Surfer has traversed the Marvel Universe, righting wrongs and defending the helpless. Yet now, his journey is seemingly coming to an end, but a new Silver Surfer emerges in Death of the Silver Surfer #5.

Marvel released solicitations for its October-shipping titles, including Death of the Silver Surfer #5, which will be written by Grek Pak and drawn by Sumit Kumar. Marvel’s solicitation reads:

The All-new Silver Surfer?!

• The Silver Surfer is dead.

• Long live the Silver Surfer.

Marvel also shared a first look at Dike Ruan’s cover, which features a woman version of the Surfer, who seemingly matches the appearance of Kelly Koh, a new person in the Surfer’s life.

Exclusive: A Good Child by Singapore’s Ong Kuo Sin’s has secured distribution in Hong Kong and Taiwan after being set as the closing film of Osaka Asian Film Festival’s (Oaff) Expo 2025 edition.

Warning! Spoilers ahead for Death of the Silver Surfer #1!

Marvel Comics just confirmed that the Silver Surfer is the most powerful alien to ever visit the planet Earth, with the Hulk’s son Skaar being a close second place in the rankings. The Marvel Universe is home to many massively powerful extraterrestrial characters, so it is noteworthy that the publisher would officially declare Skaar and Silver Surfer in the top two spots.

Death of the Silver Surfer #1, written by Grek Pak, with art by Sumit Kumar, takes an interesting tact toward kicking off what it has teased as “the Silver Surfer’s final voyage,” by telling a story that focuses mainly on the perspective of Major Kelly Koh, a member of the "Bureau of Alien Neutralization."

The issue features Koh failing in her mission to bring the Silver Surfer down, before being assigned to try and take out Skaar next,...

Avatar: The Last Airbender features a delightful and memorable cast of characters, both heroes and villains. On the one hand, Avatar fans love the heroes who embody key traits like courage, forgiveness, generosity and altruism, such as Avatar Aang and his Air Nomad ways or Sokka and his role in invading the Fire Nation to end a dreadful war. But fans can also find plenty of compelling antagonists.

While some Avatar: The Last Airbender villains are just "monsters of the week," others are recurring antagonists with the same personal depth as the heroes they fight. The best Avatar: The Last Airbender villains have deadly powers, cool abilities, memorable dialogue and intriguing personal arcs that make them worthy adversaries of Team Avatar time and again. Some of them even went on to become heroes in the end, like Zuko, while others embraced villainy until the very last moment, like Fire Lord Ozai,...

The world of Avatar has no shortage of compelling and unique spirits and Avatar: The Legend of Korra continues to showcase the vast array of spirits that are present in the world. In the sequel series, spirits continue to have an important role once humans and spirits gain an even closer bond through the events that happen in The Legend of Korra.

There are plenty of well-known spirits in the world of Avatar, like the infamous face-stealing spirit Koh or duo moon spirits Tui and La seen in Avatar: The Last Airbender. Similarly, The Legend of Korra also has its fair share of memorable spirits, both of which are fearsome, adorable or wise.

The mood darkens in Pachinko Season 2 Episode 2 as Sunja’s family suffers another loss and the air raids draw closer.

A dream-like change in tone can’t disguise that this is the second bridge episode of this season, keeping us tethered to the unresolved narrative threads of Season 1 of the Apple TV+ series.

The good news is that we might now be at the point where Season 2 can finally start.

(Apple TV+)

It was hard to tell at first if the episode’s first scene, with its deserted streets and smoky skies, was real.

Our expectations were subverted when the ominous gas mask-wearing figure turned out to be a human friend, not a ghostly specter.

Those expectations were subverted again when we learned that the true messenger of Death arrives on a bicycle.

Neither A Gift, Nor A Power

This episode spends a lot of time in the realm between the dead and the living.

“Pachinko” has always asked a lot of its audience, but Season 2 asks even more. Right from the start, there’s a leap so massive, many shows would’ve never considered requesting it to begin with: I’m writing, of course, of the new opening title sequence. In general, such a switch isn’t unheard of. “The Leftovers” did it — twice (kind of) — and those went over swimmingly. But Damon Lindelof decided to try out a new intro because the first was far from revered (and its arduous droning would’ve set the wrong tone for a playfully bizarre sophomore season). “Pachinko’s” original credits, meanwhile, are beloved! They’re awesome! They’re so gosh darn delightful they overcame the TV Academy’s indefensible neglect in every other category and earned “Pachinko” its only Emmy nomination (for Original Main Title Design)!

Season 1’s award-worthy credits sequence is more than just a...

The Season 2 premiere of Pachinko, the cinematic Apple TV+ series based on the novel by Min Jin Lee, was absolutely worth the two-year wait.

This episode returns us almost exactly to where we left Sunja (Kim Min-ha) at the end of Season 1 in the Osaka marketplace of 1945.

But WWII isn’t the only conflict Sunja’s family will face during this century or this new season.

(Apple TV+/YouTube screenshot)

The Season 2 premiere features a dual timeline where Sunja deals with poverty in 1945 Osaka while her grandson Solomon Baek (Jin Ha) tries to broker a huge investment deal in 1989 Tokyo.

They are both trying to move ahead and thrive but find that their pasts are never far behind them.

Modes of Survival in Osaka

Sunja’s achievement of selling the best kimchee in the market means little now that her last batch is almost gone, and there is no cabbage available to make more.

When Sunja (Yuh-jung Youn) confronts a new friend (Jun Kunimura) about dark secrets she’s dug up from his past, he reacts with the resignation of someone who’s long since come to terms with them. He does not act out in shock or denial. He offers explanations that are not quite excuses. He accepts that she’s right that his history cannot be changed. But, he asks, “What are we supposed to do then? Spend the rest of our lives chained to it?”

Sunja does not provide an answer, and neither does her series. Down to its very format, which cuts between two timelines, Apple TV+’s Pachinko presents itself as a reflection on the impossibility of finding one. Seeds planted years or decades or generations earlier have a way of shooting up at unexpected times, in unexpected ways. And as she did in the series’ breathtaking first chapter,...

Brandon Lee’s The Crow is considered a cult classic today, but the film was plagued with massive problems starting with the tragic death of the lead star in the middle of filming. Lee’s unfortunate demise was caused by an accidental firing of a gun which had a routine dummy bullet that unfortunately ended up killing him.

Brandon Lee in The Crow

This horrific incident ultimately led to a domino effect of troubles which included finding a replacement for the lead actor to complete the film. This disaster on set prompted Hollywood director Chad Stahelski to take major precautions while handling firearms in his blockbuster film John Wick. The former stuntman also exposed the uncomfortable truth behind the use of guns in the industry.

How Brandon Lee‘s Death Influenced Chad Stahelski

While any form of death is tragic, the worst kinds are the ones that could have easily been avoided.

Koh The Face Stealer is a powerful spirit in Avatar, taking faces of those who show emotion. Koh is neither good nor evil, making him a complex adversary to the Avatars he encounters. Koh's name comes from Japanese word "kao," referencing his ability to steal faces in Avatar lore.

Koh The Face Stealer is a recurring villain in the Avatar: The Last Airbender series and makes for a great adversary for the Avatars throughout history. The original animated series follows the titular character, a young boy named Aang who spends 100 years frozen in ice before emerging to find how much the world has changed in his absence. He teams up with other children to train himself in his elemental bending powers and restore balance to the world. Along the way, he encounters Koh The Face Stealer, who has a history with the Avatars before Aang.

The Crow based on the graphic novel of the same name by David O’Barr, got its cinematic adaptation in 1994 starring Brandon Lee in what turned out to be the actor’s final film before his tragic death.

Many documentary filmmakers want their work on the big screen and not small. So, what gives? Why isn’t that happening?

One could argue that we haven’t seen a doc boom in cinemas since 2018 which served up such breakouts as Won’t You Be My Neighbor ($22.8M), Three Identical Strangers ($12.3M) and Rbg ($14M). The pandemic is partially to blame as audiences have savored non-fiction stories on streaming, i.e. the Netflix series, Tiger King.

“It’s not that it doesn’t work theatrically,” explained Lionsgate EVP Acquisitions and Co-Productions, Charlotte Koh who was part of the SXSW session “How to Tell True Stories: Narrative vs. Documentary”.

“It’s becoming more competitive to get people’s attention because there is so much documentary product out there that can be watched through streamers and other ways,” Koh added.

Season 2 and 3 of Netflix's Avatar will feature bigger moments of action and character development. Toph's introduction showcases her Earthbending skills and unique personality, a crucial moment for the show. Aang's final battle with Ozai is the climactic duel the series has been building towards and could be a visual highlight of the series.

Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender has been green-lit for seasons 2 and 3, meaning fans will get see the live-action renditions of Aang's entire arc. While season 1 did a good job of blending fan-favorite moments with some notable tweaks, season 2 and season 3 are chock-full of action set-pieces and dramatic character moments that are begging for the live-action treatment. Adapting the biggest moments of the latter two seasons for Avatar: The Last Airbender's story will take the series to even greater heights than season 1.

The most important ones are the sequences that highlight the exciting action in huge bender battles,...

As fans eagerly anticipated the live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender, a lot of them were delighted to find a special connection to the original animated series that signaled a dedication to the source material.

The showrunner of Avatar: The Last Airbender on Netflix, Albert Kim, admitted that the cast of the live-action series featured some pretty big names, including Daniel Dae Kim as Fire Lord Ozai, George Takei as the spirit Koh, and veteran character actor Tamlyn Tomita as Suki’s mother Yukari.

Yet the most successful of them all was James Sie. Indeed, the gifted voice actor who portrayed the recognizable Cabbage Merchant in the animated Nickelodeon series made an unexpected cameo in the live-action version. What a pleasure to hear that!

Avatar: The Last Airbender aired for three seasons, charting Aang's growth.

Netflix's live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender adaptation referenced a major character from the Avatar comics. This character played a vital part in the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Ursa, the mother of Zuko and Azula. Through this reference, Netflix paid homage to the expanded universe of Avatar that continued after the cartoon's conclusion.

In "Spirited Away," the fifth episode of Netflix's live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender adaptation, Aang encountered Koh the Face Stealer. Unlike in the cartoon, Koh had captured Katara and Sokka, so rather than simply escaping Koh's lair, Aang needed to find a way to appease the malicious spirit. In the following episode, "Masks," Aang went to Avatar Roku's shrine in the Fire Nation to ask for his advice, as he had bested Koh once before. Roku gave Aang a small,...

While Deadpool 3 is already the most anticipated film to hit Hollywood this summer, Ana De Armas’ John Wick spin-off film Ballerina which was set to precede the Marvel movie, has now been postponed to 2025.

With the announcement about the supernatural action thriller’s release coming out of the blue, insider Jeff Sneider also revealed that there could be a major twist to a key character in the film.

One of the key reasons why Avatar: The Last Airbender has retained relevancy even after two decades since its release is its immaculate, rich world-building, which has been strongly inspired by Southeast Asian and Arctic cultures. However, occasionally, even more than the cultural influence, folklore or mythological foundation acts as the base of its story arcs, which is especially noticeable in the lore of the spirits, mystical entities representing various aspects of nature, emotions, or abstract ideas who play a significant role in the four-element bending intrigue of Avatar. There is a sense of universality that gets conveyed through the world of spirits, creating a unified, coherent structure that grants the potential for more expansive storytelling as well.

The first season of Netflix’s adaptation of Avatar incorporates the influence of spirits in the central plotline in some major ways, although the introduction was a bit abrupt as compared to the original series.

Warning! This article contains spoilers for Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Roku was Aang's predecessor in the Avatar Cycle, representing the Fire Nation before Aang from the Air Nomads. Roku's backstory, especially his relationship with Fire Lord Sozin, hints at future storylines in The Last Airbender. In Netflix's adaptation, Roku's character differs from the original show, with a new storyline involving Koh the Face Stealer and the fact he is less of a direct mentor to Aang.

Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender provides several moments involving past Avatars, with one such character named Roku. Roku is initially teased as a past Avatar in The Last Airbender's introduction before being properly introduced later in the series. Roku's introduction comes in The Last Airbender episode 6 when Aang seeks out his aid in dealing with a vengeful spirit named Koh.

Koh is linked to Avatar: The Last Airbender's Spirit World...

Koh the Face Stealer had only a very brief appearance in the original Avatar: The Last Airbender series but he made an impression that will stay with you well into your nightmares. A spirit with the ability to steal the face of any being who shows emotion to him, this horrific spirit has proven to be a big hit among fans. With his appearance in the Netflix series, voiced by none other than George Takei, we look back on everything we know about Koh from both the animated and Netflix series.

Adaptations and re-imaginings are a tricky thing. They have to capture and recreate the essence of the original while also making changes for (potentially) a new medium, different times, and a new audience. The best ones recognize this and rebuild and remix the original until they end up improving it and making something that feels fresh and brand-new, like HBO's "Watchmen" series or Netflix's animated series "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off." Another opportunity with adaptations is the benefit of hindsight. Even the most meticulous authors and creators cannot possibly think of absolutely everything ahead of time. This offers an opportunity for re-tellings to bring elements that were introduced later in the original story to the forefront.

Netflix's "One Piece" does this. The live-action adaptation of the legendary and long-running manga by Eiichiro Oda introduces the character of Garp much earlier...

Mark Hamill plays one pretty iconic character in Avatar: The Last Airbender, but he voices another lesser-known character that lives in the Spirit World as well. Hamill’s biggest role in the series was notably Fire Lord Ozai, the big bad villain that Aang has to stop from taking over the world. While Ozai is the ultimate antagonist of the show, Mark Hamill’s other character is an odd spirit that perfectly personifies the puzzling nature of the Spirit World.

As the Avatar, Aang has the ability to travel between the physical world and the Spirit World. One of the first spirits that Aang meets is a wise-looking baboon-like spirit that regards him with contempt. Though this baboon spirit shares a voice actor with the series’ villain, that’s where their similarities end. Unlike his brother Iroh’s connection to the Spirit World, Ozai is decidedly unspiritual and cares little...

One of the pictures shows Callum and Bait surrounded by a plethora of books, scrolls and papers, while another sees Viren falling into darkness. A third sees Claudia and her boyfriend Terry cuddling next to a campfire. The primary antagonist Aaravos does not feature in any of the images.

Greenwich Entertainment has picked up all rights excluding TV to the documentary Nam June Paik: Moon Is the Oldest TV, directed and produced by Amanda Kim, which world premiered in U.S. Documentary Competition at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival.

The film will launch its U.S. theatrical release at New York’s Film Form on March 24, being distributed in Canada by Films We Like starting on the same date, ahead of its U.S. broadcast premiere on PBS’ American Masters. Dogwoof acquired UK distribution rights and international sales rights outside of Korea in early January, with a distribution deal and streaming partner for the latter territory to be announced shortly.

The doc tells the story of Nam June Paik, a pillar of the American avant-garde in the 20th century, widely regarded as “The George Washington of Video Art,” who coined the phrase “Electronic Superhighway,” and is arguably the most famous Korean artist in modern history.

Singaporean filmmaker Anthony Chen is on a roll – his English-language debut Drift is premiering at Sundance Film Festival, he has Chinese-language drama The Breaking Ice being readied for festival play later this year, and several other directing projects in different languages at various stages of development and pre-production.

Drift, which stars Cynthia Erivo as a Liberian refugee scratching out an existence on a Greek island, is thematically not a million miles away from Chen’s previous two features – Ilo Ilo and Wet Season – in that they’re stories about outsiders or people struggling to find their place in the world and fit in. “I seem to gravitate to telling stories about outsiders and the bonds, or the human connections, that we make between strangers,” says Chen, who has some experience with feeling dislocated, as he grew up in Singapore but spent many years living in the UK.

Dogwoof has picked up Amanda Kim’s documentary on the contemporary artist Nam June Paik for world sales, excluding North America and South Korea.

“Nam June Paik: Moon Is the Oldest TV” is set to world premiere on Jan. 22 at Sundance as part of the U.S. Documentary Competition.

Paik, one of the most famous Asian artists of the 20th century, revolutionized the use of technology as an artistic canvas and invented the video synthesizer. He is credited with coining the term “electronic super highway,” which was the title of one of his most famous works that involved more than 300 TV sets.

The film will trace Paik’s life from childhood as he traveled across the world. He fled to Japan from his native Korea at the outbreak of the Korean War, before moving to Germany and subsequently to New York City where he settled in 1964.
