The deeper you explore Kannada action thrillers, the more evident it becomes that the industry is grappling with a creative drought, which could pose significant challenges in the future. D.R. Suri’s Bagheera stands as a prime example of this stagnation. The film borrows heavily from the stylistic editing of K.G.F. but falls short of delivering the same impact. Its narrative treads familiar ground, rehashing the well-worn trope of a lone hero taking on corruption and the criminal underworld.

The film continues the trend of overusing dark aesthetics, with Bagheera clad in a black mask and a full-sleeved black outfit. Unfortunately, the mask’s design lacks originality, evoking comparisons to Krrish and made worse by the distracting visibility of its elastic strap. Creating a superhero film demands bold innovation, especially when even Hollywood struggles to craft compelling stories in this genre. Films like Maaveeran, Minnal Murali, or Mard...

Tom Hollands Spider-Man is getting an animated series to chronicle his earliest adventures, but Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man will also get a prequel comic series from Marvel Comics. With the first issue releasing in December, the prequel series is set to run for five issues in time for the release of the animated series on Disney+.

In the preview released to Aipt, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #1 opens with the wall-crawler in what appears to be his very first super-villain brawl. Check out the preview below:

While its hard to tell from the art released thus far, the villain seen in the preview appears to be Hammerhead, the mobster with the steel-plated, indestructible skull. As one of Spider-Man's classic villains, Hammerhead would be a good choice for the first super-villain to fight against this version of the wallcrawler.

Tom Holland’s Spider-Man: Homecoming returned Peter Parker to his high school roots—awkward, love-struck, and balancing algebra with web-slinging like a true teenage superhero.

Forget billionaire Tony Stark or godly Thor—Peter Parker’s the ultimate underdog, and Tom Holland knew how to nail that vibe. He once said, “It’s not easy to relate to Tony Stark. But everyone’s gotten tongue-tied around a crush.” And boy, did he walk the walk! The moment when Peter saves his crush, Liz (played by Laura Harrier), from freefall and then awkwardly tries to recreate the iconic upside-down kiss? Priceless. Of course, this time around, Spidey’s thread snaps before he even gets the chance to smookissgh school romance, right?

The title Homecoming wasn’t just about a school dance—it was like the franchise itself was coming...

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is set to introduce a new version of Spider-Man to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), but a brief moment in the trailer hints that this could be one of the most powerful versions of the hero yet. As the MCU expands its TV and animated offerings, it's exciting to see versions of familiar heroes appearing in alternative settings. One of the first MCU TV shows, Marvel's What If...? already provides a set of variable stories that out the heroes into odd settings, but Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is set to do something different with a new version of the Web Slinger for younger audiences.

And while some actors are set to reprise their roles as the voices for these animated characters, including Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio who will voice Daredevil and Kingpin respectively, the version of Peter Parker is distinctly different. The show was...

For those who are chronically online, it’s no secret that the internet is absolutely obsessed with Tom Holland and Zendaya interviews. There are literally thousands of compilations dedicated to their adorable moments, and fans can’t get enough!

LADbible brought Tom Holland and Zendaya together for a special episode of its original series, Agree to Disagree, in 2021, tackling some of the most debated topics on the internet.

Zendaya initially remained neutral and diplomatic for a while, until the LADbible...

Warning! This post contains Spoilers for Venom: The Last DanceThe live-action debut of Knull in Venom: The Last Dance could lead to a Spider-Man: No Way Home dream coming true for Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man. Taking place in Sony's Spider-Man Universe rather than in the MCU, the Venom trilogy has just reached its conclusion with The Last Dance. However, the emergence of Knul may finally give this universe an actual Spider-Man who's yet to be identified.

Sony's Venom movies, Morbius, Madame Web, and Kraven the Hunter are all set in what's been referred to as "Sony's Spider-Man Universe". However, an official Spider-Man has yet to make an appearance in Sony's current universe, seeing as how the animated Spider-Verse movies take place all over the multiverse, Tom Holland's Spider-Man exists in the MCU, and Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's Peter Parkers exist in their own separate realities.

With Tom Hardy bidding adieu to the role of Eddie Brock Jr. for good, after Venom: The Last Dance, fans are left wondering about the future of the Sony Spider-Man Universe.

After all, not many were ready to bid their farewell to a character who has been a part of Sony’s most successful superhero movies. No wonder they didn’t let the chance to witness their favorite symbiote in action one last time, with the movie crossing a major milestone real fast.

This last year, Marvel completely proved me wrong by bringing back an initiative I didnt think would ever properly return in the form of the Ultimate Universe. Mainstream comics publishers try a lot of different things, and sometimes you just go "thats not going to work," but Im more than happy to have been proven wrong.

I really didnt think that Marvels new Ultimate Universe would be a success - right up until it was. The original Ultimate Universe, beginning with 2000s Ultimate Spider-Man #1 by Brian Michael Bendis, Mark Bagley, Art Thibert, Steve Buccellato, and Richard Starkings, re-imagined Marvels mythos as though they began in the then-present moment. For Spidey, this meant that Peter Parker was a recognizably nerdy teen dealing with the teen issies of the early 2000s. For other books, it meant interacting directly with real politics.

The challenge for Marvel in reviving the line for the mid-...

Venom: The Last Dance sets up a way to make Eddie Brock's son a replacement for both Venom and Spider-Man should Sony wish to capitalize on the opportunity. While Venom: The Last Dance's ending left hope the Marvel symbiote will return in some form or fashion going forward, it seems clear that if the Sony Spider-Man Universe is to continue onwards, it will be at least for the time being without the version of the Lethal Protector that audiences grew to love.

Venom: The Last Dance's cast brought a viable replacement to the forefront of things with its introduction of Agony as the remaining symbiote hero to make it out of the mayhem of the movie - but this isn't the only interesting way the finale teases at its prospective future. Both the story of the movie and the promise of more Knull in the future makes...

There’s a storm brewing over the latest Spider-Man movie rumors. It looks like Tom Holland might be swinging through a multiverse mess in the next chapter.

Rumors are flipping between a grounded story for Peter Parker and a blockbuster multiverse epic.

It sounds like the bigwigs might be leaning towards the latter, which has left a lot of us scratching our heads, wishing for a simpler Spider-Man tale.

The word on the street is that the upcoming movie, possibly called ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day,’ picks up after ‘Avengers: Doomsday’.

Peter Parker tries to hang up his Spidey suit to focus on his personal life. But as luck would have it, a new threat pulls him right back into the fray. He’s supposedly teaming up with some surprising faces, including Michael Keaton’s Vulture, Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man, and Rdj’s Doom.

This plot twist has us a bit worried.

One week after Venom: The Last Dance hit theaters, the Sony Marvel movie's box office has officially surpassed that of two notable box office bombs. Although Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage each had successful runs at the box office, Venom 3 has struggled a bit, earning only $51 million domestically in its opening weekend. Reviews for Venom: The Last Dance have been largely negative, but that was the case with the previous Venom movies; audience reception to Tom Hardy's Marvel films has always been much more positive.

Still, it appears that Venom: The Last Dance may become the lowest grossing movie of the trilogy. When Venom released in 2018, it earned $856 million at the box office, while Venom: Let There Be Carnage, which opened in the post-pandemic theatrical landscape of 2021, earned $506 million. For now, it seems unlikely that the Venom: The Last Dance box office will meet or surpass either previous Venom film,...

Rumors surrounding the next installment in Tom Holland’s Spider-Man IP have been quite erratic so far. While some suggested that the MCU might lean towards a more grounded story for Holland’s Peter, other reports alleged that the Cinematic giant is once again going for a multiversal epic.

According to one alleged leak, it seems the latter might be more in line with MCU’s scheme of things, which hasn’t sat well with fans, as most have been craving for a story that takes the character back to its roots.

10 Spider-Man Memes So Hilarious They’ll Make Even J. Jonah Jameson Laugh Written by Sergio Pereira for Fortress of Solitude...

Venom: The Last Dance introduced the next major Marvel villain in the form of Knull, and I am praying Marvel does not repeat its Thanos recasting. By the time of Venom: The Last Dance's ending, it was clear that Knull was being positioned as a major villain going forward in the Sony Spider-Man Universe. The many symbiotes of Venom 3's story were left facing off against the Xenophages in the film's ending, creatures sent by Knull to retrieve something called The Codex that would free him from his prison.

Venom 3's Easter eggs to Marvel Comics were aplenty thanks to this storyline, from the prison being the symbiote home planet of Klyntar to the other symbiotes shown fleeing from Knull's impending carnage. Although the popular Marvel Comics villain of Knull did not succeed in his plan in Venom 3, the film ended with a tease that he would return.

Eyes of Wakanda has managed to impress fans after a teaser of the animated series gave fans a look into the animation style. It is an anthology series created by Todd Harris for Marvel Animation, consisting of four episodes. It tells the story of different Wakandan warriors who go on a quest to retrieve vibranium artifacts from different parts of the world.

The leaked teaser also revealed other Marvel projects releasing in 2025. These included What If…? Season 3, Wonder Man, Marvel Zombies, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Daredevil: Born Again, and Ironheart. According to the teaser, Harris’ series will hit Disney+ on August 6, 2025.

Adam Sandler's Pixels was a critical disaster despite featuring fun references to Pac-Man, yet the next iteration of the latter could redeem the former when Secret Level hits streaming platforms. Pixels was released in 2015 and attempted to tell an interesting, comedic story about aliens who invaded Earth using the forms of iconic video game characters that were found in a space-bound time capsule. While this concept and Pixels' cast of characters were promising, the film did not meet expectations. Aside from fun references, including Pixels' Pac-Man creator cameo, the film forewent fun nostalgia for over-the-top, annoying humor.

This led Pixels to become a critical failure, with the film currently holding an 18% score from professional reviews logged on Rotten Tomatoes. As one of the few different interpretations involving an iconic game like Pac-Man, many are wondering where the next will come from. One is Amazon Prime's Secret Level video game anthology series; Intriguingly,...

Ever since Tom Holland confirmed the news of the Spider-Man 4 movie being in the works, fans have been thrilled. Rumors and speculations about the possible storyline for the upcoming film have kept the fandom awake.

One persistent rumor involved the introduction of Knull into the MCU, with fans speculating if he could be the new antagonist for the next movie. However, a supposed inside source has laid rest to that particular rumor, much to the relief of fans who did not want that plotline to come true.

Warning: Contains Spoilers for The Amazing Spider-Man #64! The Juggernauts personal lore in Marvel Comics is shockingly deep, especially for a character many regard as nothing more than a dim-witted brute. Cain Marko might have made his debut as a fairly two-dimensional villain-of-the-week, but that is far from who he has become, especially in terms of the extensive mythos that surrounds and engulfs him. And now, Juggernaut lore is getting its biggest shake-up since the 90s.

Marvel Comics released the official solicitation for The Amazing Spider-Man #64 by Justina Ireland and Gleb Melnikov, and while that may seem unrelated to the Juggernaut, the issues synopsis quickly proves otherwise. Included in the solicitation is the synopsis along with cover art by Ed McGuinness, both of which reference a character widely associated with the Juggernaut: Cyttorak.

The first look at Nicolas Cage's Spider-Man Noir in the upcoming Spider-Noir live-action series has been revealed, and the Marvel character's superhero costume is pitch-perfect. Cage has a long history with comic books. The actor almost played Superman in a scrapped movie by director Tim Burton, later making a cameo as the Man of Steel in 2023's The Flash. Cage has also named one of his sons after Superman's Kryptonian name, Kal-El. On the Marvel side, the actor starred in two Ghost Rider movies as Johnny Blaze, more recently marking his name in the Spider-Man film franchise.

Cage voices Spider-Man Noir in the animated Spider-Verse movies. That has led to the actor being chosen to make the jump to live-action for Sony's Spider-Noir series. While the Prime Video show is going to once again feature Cage as Spider-Man Noir, the new series is not connected to his animated version of the hero.
