After a near-perfect first season, the highly anticipated Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 is right around the corner. Marvel Television has already started the year strong with Destin Daniel Cretton‘s Wonder Man, and based on the Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 trailer, it looks like they’re not slowing down any time soon. From Daredevil’s (Charlie Cox) new suit to the return of Krysten Ritter‘s Jessica Jones, there’s a lot to be excited about.

With Mayor Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) embracing an even darker side of his Kingpin persona, Matt Murdock will need as much help as he can get to save his city. Besides Jessica Jones, the Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 trailer shows that Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) will be a key ally for Daredevil. Since Karen and Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson) weren’t initially part of the series before showrunner Dario Scardapane came on, their roles were very limited in Season 1. Although Foggy isn’t around in the present-day MCU after his shocking death, Scardapane promises that Karen Page fans have a lot to look forward to in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2.

Karen Page Will Be Matt Murdock’s Equal in ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Season 2

Ever since the series premiere of Netflix’s Daredevil, Karen has been a vital part of Matt’s world. The character evolved from being a client of Nelson and Murdock to their secretary/legal assistant. Eventually, her efforts earned her a name on the door, and the firm became Nelson, Murdock, and Page in Daredevil: Born Again. Life imitates art as Woll herself has also played a major role in developing her character for the show’s upcoming second season. In an interview with SFX Magazine, Scardapane highlighted how much Woll collaborated with Karen’s development in Daredevil: Born Again:

“This version of Karen Page is a blast. It’s a curveball that you haven’t seen before. The great thing is we got to talk to her about it in season one, before we started getting into the real nitty-gritty of season two. Her input adds to what we do in the writers’ room and by the time you come out at the end you’re like, ‘Whoa, this actually makes sense!’ I think fans are really going to dig this Karen Page.”

Woll and Scardapane agree that Karen was never and will never be seen as just Matt’s sidekick. As Scardapane added, “In my mind — and in Deb’s mind — she’s never been a sidekick; she’s never been a girlfriend. She’s always been somebody who both mirrors and pushes Murdock — not always in the best way.” While some fans argue about the relationship between Karen and Daredevil, aka Karedevil, or Karen and Frank Castle/The Punisher (Jon Bernthal), it’s good to hear that the character isn’t being reduced to just a romantic partner.

Scardapane’s interview also mentions that Karen has become a lawyer in the time between Daredevil and Daredevil: Born Again. Even without any formal legal background, Karen has more than proven herself capable of successfully handling legal matters. Without her, Foggy and Matt wouldn’t have been as involved as they were in taking down Fisk through the justice system in Daredevil Season 1. When she was face-to-face with Fisk in Daredevil Season 3, she was confident in the eyes of the man who almost ruined her life, and didn’t hesitate to try to scare him by revealing she had killed his loyal friend and employee, James Wesley (Toby Leonard Moore). This version of Karen is exactly who Matt will need in his fight against Fisk’s corruption.

Deborah Ann Woll’s Karen Page Is Nothing Like the Marvel Comics Version

Karen has always been a staple in Daredevil’s world, from comics to screen. Although the character went down a dark path and ultimately met a tragic fate in the comics, thankfully, Woll’s version of Karen is given much more agency. Along with proving herself Foggy and Nelson’s equal in legal affairs, she also became a great journalist and a hero who isn’t afraid to speak up for the voiceless. Karen may not be one of the most powerful Marvel characters, but she’s definitely one of the healthiest from a mental standpoint.

Whenever Matt enters his typical self-destructive phase, Karen knows how to balance being a good friend and walking away from that toxicity when it becomes too much for her mental health. She stops Matt from going up against an army of Fisk’s officers in the Daredevil: Born Again Season 1 finale and inspires him to build his own army against Fisk. At the end of the day, Karen is Matt’s voice of reason, and it’ll be exciting to see Karen play a more definitive role in Season 2 thanks to Woll’s increased contributions.

Following his last feature-length horror effort as a director, 2009’s Drag Me to Hell, Sam Raimi took 17 years to return to the big screen with another from the devil’s favorite genre. Since its debut at the end of January, the pulsating Send Help has continued to impress, becoming the biggest horror release at the box office this year so far. Currently, the movie boasts a global box office haul of $83.9 million against a reported budget of $40 million, with Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien‘s violent and often hilarious survival thriller impressing theatergoers.

If Send Help is your first introduction to the horror icon Raimi, consider the arrival of one of his best modern projects on a new streamer as a sign to continue your education. Debuting on Halloween night 2015, the brilliant Ash vs Evil Dead picks up decades after the events of the iconic films, with Bruce Campbell returning as the iconic Ash Williams. “Constantly peering over his shoulder, Ash somehow knew that the Evil Dead would return for him,” a synopsis for the series reads. “That day arrives when Ash commits an act of carelessness, unleashing a Deadite plague that threatens to destroy mankind.”

Co-starring Lucy Lawless as Ruby, Ray Santiago as Ash’s sidekick, Pablo Simon Bolivar, and Dana DeLorenzo as Kelly Maxwell, the series ran for three successful seasons and thirty episodes, culminating in a kick-ass finale on April 29, 2018. Eight years later, you can watch Ash vs Evil Dead on Plex starting this March. Over-the-top and brilliantly gory, you won’t want to miss the gem of a horror series some consider one of the best of the last decade.

Critics Adored ‘Ash vs Evil Dead’

It wasn’t just audiences who took to this horror revival when it debuted in 2015; critics also gushed over Raimi’s return to the franchise that put his name on the map. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, Ash vs the Evil Dead boasts a near-perfect score of 99%, as an average across all three seasons. The consensus on the site for Season 1 reads, “True to the movies that spawned it, Ash vs Evil Dead is a gory, hilarious, and audacious resurrection of Sam Raimi’s beloved horror franchise.”

Ash vs Evil Dead is streaming on Plex this March. Make sure to stay tuned to Collider for all the latest streaming stories.

Former Ellen DeGeneres Show child star Sophia Grace Brownlee has no regrets about becoming a young mother.

“I was quite young when I had River. I was 19, which I do feel like is quite young,” Brownlee, 22, said on the Wednesday, February 25, episode of the “Private Story” podcast, referring to her son. “I don’t regret, like, doing anything because I’m quite happy with where I am now.”

Brownlee announced in October 2022 that she was expecting her first baby before giving birth to River in March 2023. The social media star revealed the next year that she was pregnant again. Brownlee gave birth to daughter Athena in January 2025. (Brownlee has not publicly revealed the father of her children.)

“When I had Athena, I was 21, which is a bit more older,” she explained on Wednesday’s episode. “It’s obviously young to have kids, but I don’t really think there’s a right age to have kids as long as you’re ready and you’re mature enough, that’s all that matters.”

The clip featured […]

Brownlee further acknowledged that, because of her experience on Ellen DeGeneres Show, she was “financially stable” enough to provide for a family without struggling.

“If I wasn’t, like, I would have been struggling a lot,” she said. “So, yeah, I’m blessed to have been in that situation.”

While Brownlee has found a sweet rhythm as a mom of two, she didn’t have the easiest pregnancy and childbirth journey.

“It actually went quite bad with River. It wasn’t a nice experience,” she recalled. “I went into labor naturally, and I was just a week early, which is common. That’s not a problem, and everything was fine. It just, kind of, got bad when you’re actually trying to push the baby out. He was getting really stressed out, and he just wouldn’t come down properly like how [babies] are supposed to.”

Brownlee continued, “Loads of different doctors and surgeons [came into my room], which is so scary. I was, like, ‘What’s happening?’ They were, like, ‘We think we’re going to have to do a C-section because the baby’s getting distressed.’ I was just so scared that they were going to put me to sleep ‘cause that is one of my biggest fears because I think I’m not going to wake up.”

According to Brownlee, her emergency caesarean was “one of the scariest times” in her life.

“I’ve never even been in hospital properly for anything in my life, so I’m laying there in a room full of so many people,” the YouTube star explained. “I’ve got this curtain up in front of me because they don’t want you to see it, and I was numb anyway. I’d had an epidural, which numbs you from the waist down, because I couldn’t handle the pain.”

River was eventually delivered safely, which was a completely different experience from Brownlee’s birth with Athena.

“Because I had a C-section, they were like, ‘We’re going to book you in for another one,’” she said of delivering her second child. “That’s what they like to do, but the midwives were, like, ‘No, we think you can have her naturally, so at least try.’ I did, and it went so quickly. … I was so proud of myself, and I was glad I got to experience a natural birth, which I would choose every time over a C-section.”

He’s versatile and transformative, capable of embodying his roles and researching them methodically, with a lot of dedication; that’s why he’s considered one of the greatest actors of today. Although he has a long and interesting filmography sitting in a wide variety of genres, his most famous movies tend to be dramas.

Whether he portrays a poor kid falling for a wealthy girl or a man returning from war, DiCaprio has some incredibly memorable dramatic roles and movies. If you’re less into his action and thrills and more into the dramatic, heavier stuff, here are Leonardo DiCaprio’s five greatest drama movies.

‘Revolutionary Road’ (2008)

Revolutionary Road marks DiCaprio’s second collaboration and reunion with Kate Winslet, with whom he starred in Titanic for the first time. Revolutionary Road feels like “what would have happened if Jack and Rose stayed together,” though it’s a much less romantic and a lot more realistic and sad story about the evolution of a marriage. Initially, the two were reluctant to play a couple again after Titanic, for the exact fear of being equated to Jack and Rose, but in Revolutionary Road, they show incredible maturity and progress from their first collab. Sam Mendes directed this film, which was based on Richard Yates‘ 1961 novel of the same name; the movie was meant to be made that same year, which must be one of the longest noted “limbo periods” for a movie, maybe ever.

Revolutionary Road follows a couple throughout the 1940s and 1950s as their marriage falls apart due to heavy personal problems and dissatisfaction. In 1948, longshoreman Frank Wheeler meets aspiring actress April, and the two soon fall in love and marry. They move to a suburban area, meeting their neighbors, Shep (David Harbour) and Milly (Kathryn Hahn), and befriending their realtor, Helen (Kathy Bates); on the surface, they seem happy and harmonic, but Frank is tired of his mundane job, while April isn’t successful at getting acting gigs. Their personal dissatisfaction seeps into their relationship, turning it into a strained push and pull of emotions. Revolutionary Road is a difficult film but an interesting, visually gorgeous, and play-like drama worth watching. It’s also kind of underrated, considering its biggest selling point at one moment was DiCaprio and Winslet’s reunion. While their chemistry from the first collab remains, Revolutionary Road sees DiCaprio as the slightly better performer of the two, with intense dedication and vulnerability on display.

‘The Basketball Diaries’ (1995)

The Basketball Diaries is an early film that wasn’t the most critically acclaimed but is, upon reassessment, a vital film for both the 1990s and DiCaprio’s emerging career at the time. It’s a biographical crime drama based on the autobiographical novel by Jim Carroll, who, in the book, reflects on his promising basketball career and its inevitable demise after developing a drug addiction as a teenager. The Basketball Diaries is Scott Kalvert‘s feature directorial debut, and it’s a grim and heavy story that attempts to deliver a cautionary tale while staying packed into quintessentially grunge/90s packaging, evoking the lives of so many artists who succumbed to drug addiction at the time. Even the soundtrack is packed with grunge legends, like Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and The Cult, with Carroll himself contributing his musical artistry to it. Whatever you feel about The Basketball Diaries, it’s a star-making film for DiCaprio, who is magnetic in it.

The Basketball Diaries follows Jim Carroll as a high schooler in NYC, taking part on the school’s basketball team and hanging out with his best friends, Pedro, Mickey, and Neutron (James Madio, Mark Wahlberg, and Patrick McGaw, respectively). Jim and his friends begin taking recreational drugs at school, and while no one notices at first, they soon begin showing bigger signs of addiction until they begin living on the street, begging for money and doing anything to get their next fix. Jim, privately, is artistic and enjoys writing and poetry, which soon helps him get better and get clean (spoiler, but Carroll was an adult at the time of making the film, so you could’ve guessed twice). The Basketball Diaries is a pretty realistic portrait of youth when it’s affected by addiction, and while it may not be pleasant to watch, it’s an incredible and essential film among DiCaprio’s dramas.

‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ (2023)

The sixth collaboration between DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese happened in 2023, in Scorsese’s latest film, Killers of the Flower Moon. The seventh is coming up with What Happens at Night, which is currently filming, and there’s a short film from 2015 that stars DiCaprio and Robert De Niro as the two actors argue over who gets to make another film with Scorsese. Both starred in Killers of the Flower Moon, and while De Niro is the meanie, DiCaprio isn’t exactly the most positive character in the film, either. Both, as brilliant and impressive as they are, give way to Lily Gladstone to shine as the lead; sometimes, a great actor also knows when to pull away to give others a chance, which just makes them all the more iconic. Killers of the Flower Moon is based on real-life events that took place in Oklahoma during the late 1910s and early 1920s, when members of the Osage Nation of Oklahoma struck oil, became rich through mineral rights, and were killed off in brutal ways.

Killers of the Flower Moon opens with the story of the people of the Osage Nation discovering oil on their land, which made them wealthy at the time. However, the law needed their land to be “run” by white residents, as they were deemed incompetent; enter William Hale King (De Niro), who posed as a benefactor to the Osage Nation. After his nephew Ernest (DiCaprio) returns from WWI to live with him on his estate, William introduces him to Mollie Kyle (Gladstone), whose family has rights to the wealthy land. At first, Ernest is considered to be a mere “gold digger” but falls in love with Mollie, showing their relationship while depicting the growing danger and stress of the Osage murders. While some have considered Killers of the Flower Moon to be exploitative of the tragic narrative of the Osage murders, others found it revelatory, praising Scorsese’s efforts to include members of the Osage Nation today as advisors on the film’s narrative and details.

‘Titanic’ (1997)

Of course, the most famous DiCaprio movie has to be Titanic, in which he stars alongside Kate Winslet. For both of them, this was a breakthrough on a global scale, starring in a beautiful but tragic romance that is still widely considered one of the most romantic movies of all time. Titanic also jumpstarted DiCaprio and Winslet’s longtime friendship, after which they collaborated on the same project once more in 2008, Revolutionary Road. James Cameron‘s drama is about the real-life ocean liner, which departed from Southampton, England on April 10, 1912, and sank not even a full five days later after clashing with an iceberg. While this timeline might break the illusion of Jack and Rose’s whirlwind romance, which is arguably one of the greatest romances ever, Titanic is still a celebration of love and life.

Titanic opens with a modern-day crew setting out to find a famous jewel they believe is still in the wreck; they don’t find the jewel, but they do find a sketch of a woman wearing it. After Rose Dawson Calvert reaches out to the crew, telling them she’s on the drawing, the story goes back to 1912, following the maiden voyage of RMS Titanic, with Rose (Winslet) boarding the ship in Southampton with her mother and American fiancé, Cal (Billy Zane). Rose is only 17, and she’s unhappy with her incoming marriage, even contemplating jumping off the ship’s stern. On one such occasion, she is stopped by Jack Dawson (DiCaprio), a poor artist; they begin to bond, becoming friends and quickly falling in love. DiCaprio and Winslet have a beautiful chemistry, and it’s hard to tell who is better out of the two; it’s like they bring the best out of each other, giving dedicated, intense, and beautiful performances.

‘What’s Eating Gilbert Grape’ (1993)

The film that earned DiCaprio national acclaim and the title of “one to watch out for” is What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. He stars as the titular Gilbert’s younger brother, Arnie, who has a mental disability; he was so convincing in the role that, at 19, he was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar. The role of Arnie was meant to go to Corey Feldman and then Christian Bale, but while the former had issues with Johnny Depp, the latter simply couldn’t measure up to DiCaprio’s audition. He prepared for Arnie by spending time with mentally disabled kids and teens, watching them and hanging out with them to understand their lives. What’s Eating Gilbert Grape is a well-known star-maker of a film; it most notably allowed DiCaprio to find his footing in Hollywood.

What’s Eating Gilbert Grape follows the eponymous Gilbert Grape (Depp), who lives with his mother Bonnie and three out of four siblings, spending the most time with the mentally disabled Arnie. Gilbert works at a local grocery store, caring for his family full-time since his mother, grief-stricken, became obese and homebound. Caring for Arnie, his sisters, and his mother leaves Gilbert with little time for a private life; one day, he meets Becky (Juliette Lewis), and she befriends him and Arnie, helping Gilbert find himself. It’s quite a dramatic coming-of-age film, and it’s hard to watch Gilbert’s life sometimes. Although some critics have found the film predictable, it’s been lauded over and over for its immense charm and warmth, including DiCaprio’s stunning performance, which is often used to describe his talents from an early age.
