Malcolm in the Middle’s plucky attitude made it one of the most iconic TV shows of the early 2000s — and fans are still trying to keep up with the cast.
The comedy, which was a faux memoir of middle child Malcolm Wilkerson (Frankie Muniz), detailed the Wilkerson family’s low-income, dysfunctional life and all the highs and lows that came with it. The sitcom reminded viewers that all families are complicated — but even the most wild relatives can’t out crazy the Wilkersons.

Throughout its seven-season run, which lasted from 2000 to 2006, the series earned 33 Emmy nominations, seven wins and seven Golden Globe nominations. Muniz brought to life whiz kid Malcolm but the Wilkerson squad also consisted of two older brothers — Francis Wilkerson (Christopher Masterson) and Reese Wilkerson (Justin Berfield) — and the baby, Dewey Wilkerson (Erik Per Sullivan). Cloris Leachman rounded out the cast as grandma Ida.
More than a decade after Malcolm in the Middle came to an end, the Wilkerson family is still on the minds of many of the show’s diehard fans and in December 2024 Disney+ ordered a limited, four-episode revival featuring Muniz, Cranston and Kaczmarek.

When it comes to big-budget action shows, few are operating at as high a level as Reacher, the Prime Video original thriller show starring Alan Ritchson. After airing three full seasons of Reacher in the last few years, Prime Video has another season on the way in just a few weeks, and the streamer has also doubled down on the show, renewing it for Season 5 before a single episode of Season 4 hits the air. There’s also the first spin-off, Neagley (starring Maria Sten), set to air in September, almost one month after the premiere of Reacher Season 4. Reacher is inspired by the series of novels by Lee Child, who has confirmed that he drew from many sources when originally writing the action stories.
Reacher author Lee Child has admitted over the years that one of the series of books that inspired his Jack Reacher series was The Day of the Jackal, which was written by Frederick Forsyth. The Day of the Jackal was originally adapted into a feature film starring Edward Fox and Terrance Alexander all the way back in 1973, but younger fans have come to adore Peacock‘s version of the story. At the end of 2024, Peacock unleashed all episodes of The Day of the Jackal, and the show was a smash hit, raiding viewership charts on its way to scoring a Season 2 renewal. Peacock has already confirmed that The Day of the Jackal will not return for Season 2 until 2027, but before the next season, the show is still a consistent performer in the streaming top 10.

Collider Exclusive · Action Hero Quiz Which Action Hero Would Be Your Perfect Partner? Rambo · James Bond · Indiana Jones · John McClane · Ethan Hunt
Five legends. Five completely different ways of getting out alive — with style, with muscle, with charm, with luck, or with a plan so intricate it probably shouldn’t work. Ten questions will reveal which action hero was built to have your back.
🎖️Rambo
🍸James Bond
🏺Indiana Jones

🔧John McClane
🎭Ethan Hunt

01
You’re dropped into a dangerous situation with no warning. What do you need most from a partner? The first few seconds tell you everything about who belongs beside you.
Advertisement
02
You have to get somewhere dangerous, fast. How do you travel? How you get there is half the mission.
Advertisement
03
You’re pinned down and outnumbered. What does your ideal partner do? This is when you find out what someone is really made of.
Advertisement
04
The mission is paused. You have one evening to decompress. What does your partner suggest? Who someone is when the pressure drops is who they actually are.
Advertisement
05
How do you prefer your partner to communicate mid-mission? Good communication is the difference between partners and a liability.
Advertisement
06
Your enemy is powerful, well-resourced, and has the upper hand. How should your partner approach them? The approach to the enemy defines the partnership.
Advertisement
07
Things go badly wrong and you’re captured. What do you trust your partner to do? Who someone is when you need them most is the only thing that matters.
Advertisement
08
What does your ideal partner bring to the table that you couldn’t replace? A great partner fills the gap you didn’t know you had.
Advertisement
09
Every partnership has a cost. Which of these can you live with? No one comes without baggage. The question is whether you can carry it together.

10
It’s the final moment. Everything is on the line. What do you need from your partner right now? The last question is the most honest one.

Your Partner Has Been Assigned Your Perfect Partner Is…
Your answers have pointed to one action hero above all others. This is the person built to have your back — for better or considerably, spectacularly worse.
Advertisement
Rambo
Your partner doesn’t talk much, doesn’t need to, and will have assessed every threat in your immediate environment before you’ve finished your first sentence. John Rambo is not a man of plans or politics — he is a force of nature shaped by survival, loyalty, and a capacity for endurance that goes beyond anything training can produce. He will not leave you behind. He has never left anyone behind who deserved to come home. What you get with Rambo is the most capable, most quietly ferocious partner imaginable — one who has been through things that would have broken anyone else, and who chose to keep going anyway. You’ll never need to ask if he has your back. You’ll just know.
James Bond
Advertisement
Your partner will arrive perfectly dressed, perfectly briefed, and with a cover story so convincing it’ll take you a moment to remember what’s actually true. James Bond is the most professionally dangerous person in any room he enters — and the most disarmingly charming, which is the point. He operates in a world of layers, where nothing is what it appears and every advantage is used without apology. You’ll never be bored. You’ll occasionally be furious. But when it matters — when the mission is genuinely on the line and the margin for error has collapsed to nothing — Bond is exactly the partner you want. He has survived things that have no business being survivable. He does it with style. That is not nothing.
Indiana Jones
Your partner will know the history, the language, the cultural context, and exactly why the thing everyone else is ignoring is actually the most important thing in the room. Indiana Jones is brilliant, reckless, and occasionally impossible — but he is also one of the most resourceful, most genuinely knowledgeable partners you could find yourself beside. He approaches every situation with a scholar’s eye and a brawler’s instinct, which is an unusual combination and a remarkably effective one. He hates snakes and gets personally attached to objects of historical significance, both of which will slow you down at least once. It doesn’t matter. What Indy brings is irreplaceable — and the adventures you’ll have together will be the kind people write books about. Assuming you survive them.

John McClane
Your partner was not supposed to be here. He does not have the right equipment, the right information, or anything approaching the right odds. He has a sarcastic remark and an absolute refusal to accept that the situation is as bad as it looks. John McClane is the greatest accidental hero in the history of action cinema — a man whose superpower is stubbornness, whose contingency plan is improvisation, and whose capacity to absorb punishment and keep moving would be alarming if it weren’t so useful. He will complain the entire time. He will make it significantly more chaotic than it needed to be. And he will absolutely, unconditionally, without question come through when it counts. Yippee-ki-yay.
Advertisement
Ethan Hunt
Your partner has already run seventeen scenarios by the time you’ve finished reading the briefing, and the plan he’s settled on involves at least two things that should be physically impossible. Ethan Hunt operates at the absolute edge of human capability — technically, physically, and intellectually — and he brings the same relentless precision to protecting his partners that he brings to dismantling organisations that shouldn’t exist. He is not easy to know and he will never fully tell you everything. But he will carry the weight of the mission so completely, so absolutely, that your job is simply to trust him — and the remarkable thing is that trusting him always turns out to be the right call. The mission will be impossible. He will complete it anyway.

What Is ‘The Day of the Jackal’ About?
The Day of the Jackal Season 1 follows an elusive assassin (played by Eddie Redmayne) who makes his living carrying out hits for the highest bidder. He finally meets his match when he comes face-to-face with a tenacious British intelligence officer (played by Lashana Lynch), who quickly draws him into a game of cat-and-mouse across Europe that only ends with one of them at the end of a barrel or a blade. The Day of the Jackal Season 1 earned strong scores of 85% from critics and 77% from audiences on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes.

Check out the first season of The Day of the Jackal on Peacock and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Season 2.
There are some science fiction TV shows so delightful, so foundational, so hugely influential, and so brilliantly demonstrative of the genre’s unique charm that pretty much everyone should watch them at least once in their lives. These shows are, after all, such essential pieces of the genre that they should be perfectly capable of entertaining even the most avid sci-fi hater.
Whether it’s a decades-running classic like Doctor Whoor a more self-contained modern gem like Battlestar Galactica, these are the kinds of sci-fi series that have served as the genre’s tonal and stylistic basis for years. Many shows that came after owe an awful lot to them, and as such, anyone even slightly intrigued by the history of science fiction should check them out before they die.

‘Doctor Who’ (1963–Present)

It has gone through some hiatuses—including the one it’s currently in—but Doctor Who nevertheless holds the Guinness World Record as the longest-running science fiction TV show in history. That’s no small feat. Through the simple narrative device of regeneration, which means that its protagonist is able to transform into a new body after death, Doctor Who has found ways to keep itself fresh and relevant since the early 1960s.
It is, through and through, one of the best sci-fi TV shows of all time, as well as one of the most foundational to modern pop culture and sci-fi geekdom. Watching the whole thing is, of course, a commitment that would take at least several months; but anyone who loves time and space travel ought to watch at least a few seasons of Doctor Who sometime.

‘Dark’ (2017–2020)

Those who love time travel and multiverse stories but would prefer something shorter and more serialized ought to watch Netflix’s Dark, quite likely the most internationally mainstream German show in history. It’s also one of the most intellectually challenging sci-fi shows of all time, but those with the patience (and attention span) for its mind-bending story will almost certainly have the time of their lives.
It’s one of the Netflix shows with the most shocking plot twists, perfect for people who love sci-fi series where pretty much every episode packs at least a few surprises. Perfectly directed and with some of the most masterfully complex writing the genre has ever seen, Dark really is a must-see for sci-fi fans who love shows that force them to think deeply.

‘Babylon 5’ (1994–1998)

In the history of not just science fiction television, but American broadcast television more broadly, the airing of Babylon 5marked a “before” and “after” point. Almost unprecedentedly for American cable TV at the time, this cult classic was designed as a sort of novel for television, where every season would serve as a different chapter in a pre-planned five-chapter story arc.
In virtually every way imaginable, Babylon 5 has aged like fine wine, as even its most dated visual elements add an inimitable campy charm to it. But the real strength of this timeless space opera is, of course, its serialized narrative. Profound character arcs, nuanced geopolitical elements, deep philosophical themes, and an unexpectedly mature tone all make Babylon 5 truly special.

‘Black Mirror’ (2011–Present)

The anthology format has been one of the most popular ways of making science fiction TV shows since the ’50s, but there’s a certain show that has completely revolutionized the way anthology sci-fi television works in modern times: Black Mirror, one of those modern sci-fi shows that are utter masterpieces. Offering all sorts of thought-provoking reflections on humanity’s relationship to technology, it has become one of the current sci-fi shows most celebrated by contemporary pop culture.
The wonderful thing about Black Mirror is that those not looking to commit to the entire series can watch just a few of its most popular episodes and get a perfect idea of why it’s celebrated as such an essential piece of modern science fiction television. In all honesty, however, there’s no way of watching Black Mirror‘s best episodes and not wanting to check out the rest.

‘Cowboy Bebop’ (1998–1999)

Cowboy Bebopis one of those anime classics where every episode’s a masterpiece, a show that helped popularize anime in the Western world in the late ’90s and early 2000s. Part space Western, part neo-noir, and 100% remarkably entertaining, it’s one of the most universally loved anime on the planet for a reason. Even those who aren’t interested in anime but love sci-fi nonetheless ought to add it to their watchlist.
That’s because, far from just being your traditional animated sci-fi series, Cowboy Bebop is a brilliantly genre-bending exploration of existential loneliness and the terrible weight of the past. Philosophically complex and stylistically sharp in equal measure, it’s proof that animated sci-fi deserves just as much love and respect as even the best live-action masterpieces.

Five universes. Five completely different ways the future went wrong — or sideways, or up in flames. Only one of them is the world your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out which dystopia, galaxy, or desert wasteland you’d actually make it out of alive.

01
You sense something is deeply wrong with the world around you. What do you do? The first instinct is often the truest one.
Advertisement
02
In a world of scarcity, what resource do you guard most fiercely? What we protect reveals what we believe survival actually requires.
Advertisement
03
What kind of threat keeps you up at night? Fear is useful data — if you’re honest about what you’re actually afraid of.

04
How do you deal with authority you don’t trust? Every dystopia has a power structure. Your approach to it determines everything.

05
Which environment could you actually endure long-term? Survival isn’t just tactical — it’s physical, psychological, and very much about where you are.

06
Who do you want in your corner when things fall apart? The company you keep is the clearest signal of who you actually are.

07
Where do you draw the line — if you draw one at all? Every survivor eventually faces a moment that tests what they’re actually made of.

What would actually make survival worth it? Staying alive is one thing. Having a reason to is another.

Your Fate Has Been Calculated You’d Survive In…
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.
Advertisement
The Resistance, Zion
The Matrix
You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.
You’re drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
You’d find the Resistance, or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines’ worst nightmare.
You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
The Matrix built an airtight prison. You’d be the one probing the walls for the door.
Advertisement
The Wasteland
Mad Max
The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.
You don’t need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it — and you’re good at all three.
You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough — just barely — to be something more than another raider.
In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.
Advertisement
Los Angeles, 2049
Blade Runner
You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.
You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
You’re not a hero. But you’re not lost, either.
In Blade Runner’s world, that distinction is everything.

Arrakis
Dune
Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.
Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths — and on Arrakis, they’re survival tools.
You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You’d learn its logic and earn its respect.
In time, you wouldn’t just survive Arrakis — you’d begin to reshape it.

A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
You’d gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire’s grip can be broken.
You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn’t something you’re capable of.
In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.

Nowadays, Fireflyis perhaps best-known as the cult classic that was canceled after only one short-lived season, but all those who’ve watched it also know it as the absolute masterpiece that it is. It’s one of the best space Westerns the small screen has ever seen, a show that could have proven to be even more of an audience darling had it been given the chance to run for as long as it deserved to.
It’s one of the most perfect sci-fi shows shorter than 20 episodes, bolstered by one of the most endearing ensemble casts and most compelling set of characters that sci-fi television has ever had to offer. It’s creative, it’s well-written, it’s full of vibrant and gritty world-building, and it has some unforgettable dialogue that fans love to quote on the daily even to this day.
4
‘Battlestar Galactica’ (2004–2009)

The original Battlestar Galactica was practically begging for a remake going into the 21st century, but no one could have expected it to be as superior as it was. Following the 2003 miniseries, one of the best in the history of science fiction, came 2004’s Battlestar Galactica, widely regarded as one of the greatest sci-fi series of the 21st century thus far.
After all, what’s not to love about this brilliant space opera? For one, it’s fascinating how it explores the gritty and paranoid cultural psyche that plagued much of American television after 9/11. Combine that complex thematic core with some striking production values, a legendary cast, and a layered story, and you get one of the best genre shows of the 2000s—science fiction or otherwise.
3
‘Star Trek: The Next Generation’ (1987–1994)

Everyone should watch at least one Star Trekshow before they die, if only to see what all the sky-high hype is about. And pretty much all fans of the franchise would agree that, if someone were wondering where they could possibly get started with such a gargantuan franchise, The Next Generationwould be a pretty solid gateway point.
Almost universally regarded as the best piece of Star Trek media to date (at least as far as the small screen is concerned), The Next Generation is the sort of sci-fi show people wish they had watched sooner. It’s just that good. The production values have aged wonderfully, the cast is still one of the best in the history of network television, and the perfect way the franchise’s uniquely optimistic philosophy blends with the story must be seen to be believed.
The X-Filesisn’t just one of the most beloved sci-fi TV shows of all time, but also one of the most influential. From Supernaturalto Buffy the Vampire Slayerto Gravity Falls, all sorts of supernatural conspiracy series have drawn inspiration from The X-Files over the years. From their early days pioneering the fandom space on the Internet until the modern day, the show’s cult following is still going as strong as ever.
There are strong elements of serialization here for those who prefer that sort of sci-fi show, but even those people are virtually guaranteed to inevitably enjoy the revolutionary way in which X-Files approaches more episodic formats. Its “case of the week” approach allows Mulder and Scully to grow on the audience as the seasons pass, making their impeccably written and impeccably directed adventures all the more effective.

‘The Twilight Zone’ (1959–1964)

There’s a solid reason why Rod Serling‘s groundbreaking The Twilight Zoneis far and away one of the most universally loved TV series of all time. Not only is it every bit as great as the hype still surrounding it would lead one to believe; it also may very well be the single most influential sci-fi TV show in history, which should be more than enough to make it a must-see.
But as if the indelible impact it’s had on both anthology series and sci-fi television as a whole weren’t enough, The Twilight Zone is also incredibly high-quality and undeniably timeless. Like any anthology show, it’s not without its share of episodes that are definitely duds. But as the best and most essential anthology sci-fi series ever made, it’s also so filled to the brim with masterful episodes that it’s hard to envision a sci-fi fan going to the grave without ever having watched Twilight Zone.

Nicki Minaj tore into Dr. Anthony Fauci for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic following his tense appearance before a U.S. Senate committee last week.
“Feeding tubes will be his portion,” Minaj, 43, tweeted on Thursday, July 30. “He will lose the ability to speak & then & only then will he feel the collective pain & long term ramifications he caused to new borns, young children who are still trying to become acclimated into society & schools, traumatized pregnant women who couldn’t even have family in the delivery rooms & visits, the elderly who died alone & afraid, young ppl still struggling w/mental health, suicide, people turned away from hospitals at their most vulnerable moments, the trust that is now gone from innocent people toward their governments forever, billions of stolen money from hard working tax payers via con artists.”
Minaj resurfaced an old news article from 2021 where Fauci, 85, encouraged her to “think twice” about platforming vaccine skepticism. (At the time, Fauci was nearing the end of his decades-long tenure as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.)
The “Starships” rapper mocked Fauci with an AI-generated image of him wearing a pink and purple striped sweater as he wrote in his diary. (The fake photograph was seemingly intended to parody Fauci’s COVID-19 pandemic-era journals, which were recently released by Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rand Paul.)
Nicki Minaj made a surprise appearance at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest, arriving hand in hand with new CEO Erika Kirk (née Frantzve). Minaj, 43, walked into Phoenix’s Convention Center on Sunday, December 21, alongside Kirk, 37, with the rapper’s “Super Bass” playing in the background, per social media footage. After arriving at the center of […]
“I’ve been struggling to find the humor in any of this,” Minaj added in her tweet. “God bless everyone who made it to the other side. You’re stronger than you thought. God is in control.”

She shared a video via X where she once again mimicked Fauci writing in his diary.
“They say I’m sexier than Tyra Banks. Julia Roberts gasped when she saw how handsome I was. Brad Pitt played me on SNL,” Minaj quipped.
She went on, “Never mind that I sent millions of children back years on their education … The elderly are alone and afraid, dying by themselves. If anyone asks questions, me and my gang ruins their lives.”
Fauci repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment to avoid answering hostile questioning from Republicans when he appeared before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, led by Rep. Paul, 63, on Wednesday, July 29. Republican lawmakers led by Rep. Rich McCormick of Georgia have threatened to enact legislation barring Fauci from ever serving in government again.
Republicans have been critical of Fauci’s pro-vaccine, social distancing and masking policies during the COVID-19 pandemic. Fearing that the physician could face retribution from the incoming Donald Trump administration, former president Joe Biden gave Fauci a preemptive pardon in January 2025 to cover all of his federal government work between January 1, 2014, and January 19, 2025.
Fauci continues to have passionate defenders who champion his nearly 40 years of public health policy as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. (Fauci had bipartisan support for much of his tenure in the role from 1984 to 2022. He later briefly served as Biden’s chief medical advisor.)
During Wednesday’s Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, host Andy Cohen praised Fauci for withstanding an angry barrage of questioning during the hearing.
Advertisement
“It is time for my Mazel of the Day,” Cohen, 58, told viewers. “It goes to Dr. Anthony Fauci, who spent over three hours today being grilled, berated, and sworn at by Senate Republicans over the imaginary crimes they want you to believe he committed during his management of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Thank You!

He went on, “This is the same Dr. Fauci who was a devoted public servant for 54 years and led the federal response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic as the main architect of PEPFAR [a government initiative to battle AIDS]. His courageous work is responsible for saving over 26 million lives around the world.”

“Our country is facing serious problems,” Cohen added. “We’re in a war with no end in sight. Prices are skyrocketing. We can’t even eat lettuce, for God’s sake. And to declare a war on science at a time like this is deeply unserious and dangerous.”
The WWHL host concluded, “Maybe our politicians are just jealous because doctors and scientists do the one thing they can’t ever seem to do: fix something. Thank you, Dr. Fauci.”
Tom Cruise is used to saving the world, we know that by now. Even if he’s not quite able to do so, he always gives it his best shot and we’re thankful for that. Nowadays, Mission: Impossible might be the franchise most closely associated with the star, but it’s easy to forget that Cruise loves a sci-fi movie.
Oblivion follows Cruise’s Jack Harper, a technician who’s stationed above Earth alongside a communications officer, Victoria Olsen (Andrea Riseborough). With humanity supposedly having abandoned Earth for a new home, Jack’s job in the year 2077 is to maintain the drones protecting enormous machines extracting the planet’s remaining resources. But after Jack rescues a mysterious woman from a spacecraft that crashes onto the planet, everything he thought he knew begins to dramatically unravel. It’s one of the wildest projects Cruise has in his filmography, and it swings from a post-apocalyptic sci-fi into a much weirder movie. The film is one of Joseph Kosinski‘s earliest efforts, before he went on to become a hero of action cinema with Cruise’s Top Gun: Maverick and Brad Pitt‘s F1.

In time, you wouldn’t just survive Arrakis — you’d begin to reshape it.
A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.

You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
You’d gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire’s grip can be broken.
You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn’t something you’re capable of.
In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.

Was ‘Oblivion’ a Success?
The film wasn’t exactly a flop when it arrived in 2013, either. Oblivion earned $286 million worldwide against a reported $120 million production budget, although its reception was considerably more divided. It currently holds a 54% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, compared with a much healthier 61% audience score. Kosinski also gave Oblivion a visual identity that has aged remarkably well. Its stark white technology, enormous landscapes and striking Sky Tower still look spectacular, while M83’s thundering electronic score does an awful lot of heavy lifting in making the whole thing feel suitably enormous.
The cast also includes Olga Kurylenko (Quantum of Solace) as Julia Rusakova, Morgan Freeman (The Shawshank Redemption) as Malcolm Beech, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones) as Sykes, Melissa Leo (The Fighter) as Sally, Zoë Bell (Death Proof) as Kara, and Abigail Lowe as Julia’s younger self.
Tom Holland on the red carpetTom Holland on the red carpet
Few stars are going to add as much to their box office total this year as Tom Holland, who is one of the headlining figures in two of the biggest movies of the year. Holland can be seen starring opposite Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway in The Odyssey, the latest film from acclaimed director Christopher Nolan. Nolan guided Holland to what may well be the strongest performance of his career in the film, and he could even be in line for his first Oscar nomination. Holland can also be seen reprising his role as Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, his first Spider-Man film in five years since No Way Home. Playing Spider-Man for over 10 years now has also allowed Holland to star in some of the biggest non-MCU blockbusters of the last few years, such as Uncharted.
All the way back in 2022, which now seems like a lifetime ago with as many movies that have come out, Holland teamed up with Mark Wahlberg for a feature film adaptation of the popular game from Naughty Dog, who is also the developer of The Last of Us franchise. While most fans agreed that Uncharted was a poor adaptation of the beloved source material, it still served its purpose as an entertaining action movie, and the film even did well enough to gross over $400 million at the global box office. Four years after Uncharted’s successful theatrical run, the film has found a home streaming on both Hulu and Prime Video, where it’s quietly become one of the top 10 most-watched titles in the world in a handful of countries.

You’re dropped into a dangerous situation with no warning. What do you need most from a partner? The first few seconds tell you everything about who belongs beside you.

02
You have to get somewhere dangerous, fast. How do you travel? How you get there is half the mission.

03
You’re pinned down and outnumbered. What does your ideal partner do? This is when you find out what someone is really made of.

04
The mission is paused. You have one evening to decompress. What does your partner suggest? Who someone is when the pressure drops is who they actually are.

05
How do you prefer your partner to communicate mid-mission? Good communication is the difference between partners and a liability.

Your enemy is powerful, well-resourced, and has the upper hand. How should your partner approach them? The approach to the enemy defines the partnership.

Things go badly wrong and you’re captured. What do you trust your partner to do? Who someone is when you need them most is the only thing that matters.

What does your ideal partner bring to the table that you couldn’t replace? A great partner fills the gap you didn’t know you had.

Your Partner Has Been Assigned Your Perfect Partner Is…
Your answers have pointed to one action hero above all others. This is the person built to have your back — for better or considerably, spectacularly worse.
Advertisement
Rambo
Your partner doesn’t talk much, doesn’t need to, and will have assessed every threat in your immediate environment before you’ve finished your first sentence. John Rambo is not a man of plans or politics — he is a force of nature shaped by survival, loyalty, and a capacity for endurance that goes beyond anything training can produce. He will not leave you behind. He has never left anyone behind who deserved to come home. What you get with Rambo is the most capable, most quietly ferocious partner imaginable — one who has been through things that would have broken anyone else, and who chose to keep going anyway. You’ll never need to ask if he has your back. You’ll just know.
James Bond
Advertisement
Your partner will arrive perfectly dressed, perfectly briefed, and with a cover story so convincing it’ll take you a moment to remember what’s actually true. James Bond is the most professionally dangerous person in any room he enters — and the most disarmingly charming, which is the point. He operates in a world of layers, where nothing is what it appears and every advantage is used without apology. You’ll never be bored. You’ll occasionally be furious. But when it matters — when the mission is genuinely on the line and the margin for error has collapsed to nothing — Bond is exactly the partner you want. He has survived things that have no business being survivable. He does it with style. That is not nothing.
Indiana Jones
Your partner will know the history, the language, the cultural context, and exactly why the thing everyone else is ignoring is actually the most important thing in the room. Indiana Jones is brilliant, reckless, and occasionally impossible — but he is also one of the most resourceful, most genuinely knowledgeable partners you could find yourself beside. He approaches every situation with a scholar’s eye and a brawler’s instinct, which is an unusual combination and a remarkably effective one. He hates snakes and gets personally attached to objects of historical significance, both of which will slow you down at least once. It doesn’t matter. What Indy brings is irreplaceable — and the adventures you’ll have together will be the kind people write books about. Assuming you survive them.

John McClane
Your partner was not supposed to be here. He does not have the right equipment, the right information, or anything approaching the right odds. He has a sarcastic remark and an absolute refusal to accept that the situation is as bad as it looks. John McClane is the greatest accidental hero in the history of action cinema — a man whose superpower is stubbornness, whose contingency plan is improvisation, and whose capacity to absorb punishment and keep moving would be alarming if it weren’t so useful. He will complain the entire time. He will make it significantly more chaotic than it needed to be. And he will absolutely, unconditionally, without question come through when it counts. Yippee-ki-yay.
Advertisement
Ethan Hunt
Your partner has already run seventeen scenarios by the time you’ve finished reading the briefing, and the plan he’s settled on involves at least two things that should be physically impossible. Ethan Hunt operates at the absolute edge of human capability — technically, physically, and intellectually — and he brings the same relentless precision to protecting his partners that he brings to dismantling organisations that shouldn’t exist. He is not easy to know and he will never fully tell you everything. But he will carry the weight of the mission so completely, so absolutely, that your job is simply to trust him — and the remarkable thing is that trusting him always turns out to be the right call. The mission will be impossible. He will complete it anyway.

Is ‘Uncharted 2’ Still Happening?
Sony has officially confirmed that a sequel to Uncharted is in the works, but it’s unclear at this time when the film will be released, if it ever makes it through development. Mark Wahlberg confirmed back in 2024 that he’d read a script for Uncharted 2, but there have been no concrete updates since — even Holland, who has been busy with other projects like Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey, hasn’t been asked about the film in a while. It’s possible that an Uncharted sequel could do as well as the original, but Sony may decide to take the win and move on without worrying about the stress of another film.

Jon Bernthal in The Accountant 2Image via Amazon MGM
2026 has been a huge year for Jon Bernthal, who plays a key role in one of the biggest movies of the year, The Odyssey. After already grossing over $650 million at the box office in less than two weeks, The Odyssey is expected to finish its run with north of $1.3 billion globally, making it the biggest Christopher Nolan movie of all time. Bernthal co-stars in the historical epic with Tom Holland, but it’s not the only big movie of the summer the two star in together. The duo can be seen headlining Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which opened in theaters this weekend and is eyeing a historic box office opening. Bernthal recently starred in the first solo MCU Punisher project of his career, The Punisher: One Last Kill, the Disney Plus special now streaming around the world.
Bernthal has become one of the biggest action stars in the world in the last 10 years, largely due to his role as Braxton opposite Ben Affleck in The Accountant movies. The first Accountant movie released all the way back in 2016, and while it took some time, the franchise finally came back with a sequel last year, which earned widespread acclaim from both critics and audiences. The Accountant is streaming on HBO Max overseas, where it’s one of the top 10 most-watched titles in more than 15 countries. It’s currently absent from streaming in America. It’s the perfect mash-up of John Wick and The Equalizer for fans of high-octane action that’s also methodical.

What Is the First ‘Accountant’ Movie About?
The official synopsis for The Accountant reads as follows: “Ben Affleck stars as Christian Wolff, a math-savant CPA who secretly launders books for the world’s most dangerous criminal organizations. When he takes on a legitimate robotics firm and its accountant (Anna Kendrick) uncovers a massive discrepancy, his cover unravels—and a Treasury agent (J.K. Simmons) closes in. As the truth surfaces, the body count rises fast.” The Accountant earned scores of 53% from critics and 77% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. Amazon has confirmed that a third Accountant movie is in the works, but it’s unclear at this time how it fits into the busy schedules of both Affleck and Bernthal.

Disney+ is adding a slew of content in August, with new shows and movies that will also be available on Hulu, the other streamer The Walt Disney Company owns.
The main highlight of Disney+’s August programming is the debut of the long-awaited sequel Camp Rock 3, which sees the Jonas Brothers return to the franchise that made them famous. (Demi Lovato is not reprising her character, Mitchie Torres, who led the first two films.)
Later in the month, the long-running animated comedy Futurama returns for another season, and a Spider-Man spinoff, Venom: The Last Dance with Tom Hardy, waltzes onto the platform.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is ready for the 2026-2026 NFL season after sustaining a shoulder injury ahead of the 2026 Super Bowl.
“My shoulder’s feeling great,” Maye, 23, told sports reporter Kay Adams during his training camp on Friday, July 31. “I think that was a bummer way to end the last game.”
The NFL star suffered an injury during the AFC championship game in January after stiff-arming Denver Broncos linebacker Jonah Elliss during the fourth quarter, a move that helped secure his team’s spot in Super Bowl LX.
“I’m feeling good. I’m feeling good. We’re gonna get some extra rest, and really the only thing that’s from the game, I think just the build up of throwing for, this is what, almost, including training camp, 30 weeks straight of throwing and four days a week,” Maye said during a press conference afterward, addressing his health. “It can add up. But I’ve got some extra rest. I’m feeling good, and yeah, ready to go for the Super Bowl.”
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye struggled to control his emotions after losing the 2026 Super Bowl. “I’m so proud,” Maye, 23, said in a postgame press conference on Sunday, February 8, after the Patriots lost to the Seattle Seahawks 29-13 in Super Bowl LX. “That’s probably the reason I’m choked up most.” Maye continued […]
Maye played through his injury during the big game the next month, ultimately losing to the Seattle Seahawks 13-29.

Following the loss, Maye had the chance to recuperate before returning to training camp in July.

“I think keeping the main thing the main thing, and that’s, you know, my family, my faith and playing this game of football,” he said on Friday of his pride in returning for his third season on the gridiron. “I think having my family and my wife at home, we really tried to [stay humble]. It’s just been a nature of who we are, and being from the South,[it’s] saying, ‘Yes ma’am’ and ‘No ma’am’ and just not lose sight of who I am. I think that’s what gets you places where you want to go in life.”
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is grateful to have his wife, Ann Michael Maye, by his side throughout his NFL career. “It’s been awesome to follow her journey. I know [I] was looking forward to her getting up here,” Drake, 23, said during a Thursday, January 29, press conference. “After we got married, she […]
Drake has been married to his wife, middle school sweetheart Ann Michael Maye, since 2025. In addition to tirelessly supporting his football career, she’s also plied the Patriots with homemade cookies during training camp.

“Sometimes you got to take breakfast off or kind of eat, like, a yogurt or eat something small to try to save some room for some cookies,” Drake quipped. “She makes [baked goods] and … brings them to the offensive lineman! They make the rookies write out little notes and say thank you. Even the receivers want some, so everyone wants a little taste.”
The Exorcist star Linda Blair has broken her silence hours after 70 law enforcement officers reportedly raided her property.
“I just wanted to check in because we got a really big surprise visit,” Blair, 67, began a Friday, July 31, Instagram video, addressing the reports. “As it turns out, there is nothing but some paperwork and some new diagrams and things. But, as everybody knows, I have been trying to move for the last two years, really. It’s imperative to my health and trying to help more animals.”
TMZ reported earlier on Friday that approximately 70 members of various law enforcement and animal agencies were issued an investigative warrant to search her property for any violations and count how many animals that Blair houses on the premises. The outlet claimed that Blair has a permit to keep 60 dogs, though authorities found 200 canines living there. None of Blair’s animals were immediately removed from her care.
As for the actress, she stressed that she is alright.
Stars’ best friends! Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and more celebrities have turned to their furry friends for comfort during the coronavirus outbreak — and many are providing forever homes to pups in need. The “Slide Away” singer and ex-boyfriend Cody Simpson introduced their rescue pup Bo to their Instagram followers in March 2020, adding to […]
“I’m fine [and] the animals are fine,” Blair said in her Friday update. “We just have some paperwork that has to be dealt with, and that’s all this was all about. I don’t know why mail isn’t used more often to notify somebody, just saying.”

Blair founded her eponymous nonprofit, the Linda Blair Worldheart Foundation, in 2003 to rescue and rehabilitate abused, neglected or abandoned animals.
“With, as busy as we all are in animal rescue and saving lives from the hot deserts and abandoned animals and shelters, everyone’s emails and social media are overloaded!” Blair captioned her upload. “Turns out, we just have some paperwork to do and some diagrams but as everybody knows, I’m looking to move so I can be more educational and help more animals. I’d rather move forward. I always say you know a good old-fashioned letter of contact always works. Be safe; safe lives support animal rescue ‘cause we’re all fighting to save lives.”

Amid her acclaimed Hollywood career, Blair launched her nonprofit to help animals in need.

“I started rescuing in 1997 [and promoting] animal welfare since 1984,” Blair wrote via Instagram late last month. “I am hands-on in my foundation. I am the main rescuer, hands-on, preventative care, healer, behaviorist, trainer and matchmaker for [potential] adopters.”
She continued at the time, “We have a pet overpopulation crisis in the world! … We need help with this $5000-plus bill to get all these dogs, spayed, neutered, microchip and rabies. If you can help, please do!”
“Hi, I’m going to make this video one time and then if anyone else has any questions about the changes and the size of my body you can just link them to this video,” Myers, 33, shared in a video uploaded via TikTok on Friday, July 31. “I had a hysterectomy a little less than a year ago.”
She continued, “I was on my way back to track the very first day of my audio book and I went to beg my OB for a uterine oblation, which is where they cauterize the inside of your uterus, because I had been in so much pain for, like, five plus years. So much pain. And not just pain, but I had been bleeding out every single day for years straight — like no reprieve.”
According to the influencer, she was bleeding so much she had to wear “a tampon, a pad and an adult diaper” — and still, she said she had to put down a towel “on every single surface I sat on” because she would still bleed through.
Olivia Culpo, Julianne Hough and more stars have become fierce advocates for women’s health — especially when it comes to endometriosis. Endometriosis causes abnormal tissue growth in and around the uterus, and is one of the leading causes of infertility in women. The condition occurs in as many as 1 in 10 women, according to […]
“I am humiliated making this video,” she added. “But the change in my appearance is because for the very first time I’m not experiencing all of this. I’m not in chronic pain. I’m not throwing up in the middle of the day because I’m hurting. I’m not bleeding out. I’m not about to pass out.”
She continued, “You met me when I was months postpartum from my very first child and then I got pregnant again — he had a hole in his heart, that’s a whole other thing we can talk about another time, he’s great now — and then after all of that was finally resolved I finally realized, like, ‘Oh my god, maybe it’s not normal that I’m bleeding out every single day for years at a time. Maybe it’s not normal that I’m doubled over in pain, and maybe there’s a solution for this.’ So I tried everything. Everything. The only solution was to get my uterus and my cervix removed.”
The 33-year-old influencer, who has amassed more than 7 million followers on TikTok alone, said that she was “devastated” to hear the news that the only treatment for her chronic pain was to have her uterus removed.
“I cannot tell you how sad I was,” she continued. “And I did it. And three weeks later, I went on my book tour where every single night I had to sit on a stage with ice on my lap. And that was better than the reality I had been living in.”

She added, “So the way that you’re seeing me show up now is the version of me that should have existed the whole time. I am so happy and so healthy, I won’t apologize for that. I also understand that I don’t want to trigger people with my body.”
Amy Schumer kept her uterus as a souvenir after having it surgically removed. The comedian, 42, discussed her bronze trophy on an episode of the “SmartLess” podcast with Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett, which was released on Monday, March 11. “Jason asked me one time, like very rudely, because I actually had my […]
Myers, who published her illustrated memoir That’s a Great Question, I’d Love to Tell You in October 2025, went on to address online comments about her body in the wake of her hysterectomy.
“I don’t know if I have a responsibility to explain why the size of my body has changed or not but I do take it seriously because I want to be a safe place for people,” she explained. “Every single piece of content I make, my goal is to make people feel loved, known and like they belong. I don’t want my physical appearance to hinder people from feeling that way, but I don’t really know — I don’t know how to get past that because I feel so happy.”

She continued, at times growing emotional, “I’m sorry if my experience post-hysterectomy doesn’t align with what you think it should or what your experience was. And I’m sorry if my appearance is triggering to you because gosh that makes me sad. But what I’m not going to do is apologize for being pain-free and happy and genuinely so happy for the first time in so many years.”
