Marvel’s Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 has kicked off on a strong note, earning an impressive 94% score on Rotten Tomatoes at launch.
The highly anticipated new season officially premiered on Disney+ on March 24, 2026, with Episode 1 now available to stream, marking the return of one of Marvel’s current running series.
The early 94% “Certified Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes reflects overwhelmingly positive first impressions from critics. While scores typically fluctuate as more reviews come in, the debut rating positions Season 2 among the best-received Marvel TV projects in recent years.
Season 2 continues the story of Matt Murdock, played by Charlie Cox, as he faces his most dangerous adversary, Wilson Fisk, also known as Kingpin, portrayed by Vincent D’Onofrio.
This time, Fisk’s influence has grown beyond the criminal underworld and into the political sphere, raising the stakes for Daredevil’s fight.

When Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man was announced, the expectation was simple: a movie conclusion to one of television’s most beloved crime drama series. But as the film arrives, it becomes clear that this is not just about ending a story, it is about reworking how stories end in today’s entertainment landscape.
For a series that began as a gritty, character-driven drama on BBC, Peaky Blinders has grown into a global brand, a cultural reference point.
The Immortal Man follows Tommy Shelby as he emerges from exile during the turbulence of World War II. Drawn back into the streets of Birmingham, he confronts threats both new and old, navigating dangerous alliances, family obligations, and the shadows of his past. The film delves into his tactical mind, exploring how he maneuvers through a city caught between war, crime, and political intrigue, while also introducing new characters who challenge and complicate the world viewers have come to know.
For years, television finales followed a familiar pattern, often building toward a final season that carefully wrapped up every storyline. Peaky Blinders chose a different route.
Rather than extending the narrative into another season, creator Steven Knight opted for a film to close the chapter.
Streaming platforms, especially Netflix, have made it possible for stories to move fluidly across formats. A series can end on television and conclude on a global streaming stage, reaching audiences in ways traditional broadcasting could not achieve.
At the center of it all is Tommy Shelby, portrayed with quiet intensity by Cillian Murphy.
Tommy is not a traditional hero. He is calculated, emotionally guarded, and often morally ambiguous, yet he remains one of the most compelling characters of modern television.
His appeal lies in contradiction. He is a war hero shaped by trauma, a businessman driven by control, and a leader constantly at war with himself. This complexity is what keeps audiences invested.
Viewers over the years have had a change in taste and are no longer drawn to perfect protagonists; they are drawn to layered, conflicted individuals. The antihero has become the defining figure of modern storytelling, and Peaky Blinders played a significant role in shaping that evolution.
Long before Peaky Blinders captured global attention, there was a gang by the same name roaming the streets of Birmingham, England. Active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the real Peaky Blinders were a group of working-class young men who made a name for themselves through petty crime, illegal betting, and street violence.
The gang earned their nickname from a dangerous fashion choice: they allegedly sewed razor blades into the peaks of their flat caps, which could be used as weapons in fights. Despite their criminal activity, they were also known for dressing sharply, a style that would inspire the iconic suits, coats, and peaked caps seen on screen today.
Unlike the Shelby family empire in the series, the historical Peaky Blinders were much smaller in scale. Their influence remained mostly local, and while they caused fear in Birmingham neighborhoods, there is no evidence they reached the levels of national or international power depicted in the TV show.
Still, the series captures the spirit of the era. The tension of post-industrial Britain, the struggles of working-class life, and the charisma of young men carving out power in a harsh world. In that sense, the fictional Shelby clan is a modern retelling of a gritty, dangerous, and stylish reality.
When Peaky Blinders concluded its sixth season, it did not feel like a conventional ending. There were unresolved tensions, lingering questions, and a sense that the story still had more to say.
Instead of forcing a complete resolution within the constraints of a television season, the creators preserved narrative weight for a larger stage. The film format allows the story to become more focused while also expanding its scale and emotional impact.
At the same time, this shift introduces a new kind of pressure. A season allows for gradual character development and narrative depth, while a film demands precision and efficiency. Every moment must carry meaning.
There are already indications that the story may continue beyond this film, suggesting that The Immortal Man could be less of a conclusion and more of a transition point.

Beyond its storytelling, the series has shaped fashion, influenced music curation, and built a global fanbase that stretches far beyond its British origins.
In Countries like Nigeria, its influence is particularly visible. The show’s aesthetic, its tone, and its sense of identity have resonated with audiences in a way that goes beyond simple viewership. It has become a reference point in style, content creation, and even branding. Many people over the years have used Tommy’s gangster dress style as their go to custome for their ‘Custome Day’ in tertiary institutions and other social gathering that warrants it.
At the center of it all remains Tommy Shelby, a character who continues to embody that more. Much like the world around him, he resists simple conclusions.
Eid, also known as Eid al-Fitr or Eid al-Adha, is a time for reflection, gratitude, family, and celebration. Beyond the food, gatherings, and prayers, it is also a perfect moment to enjoy films that align with the spirit of faith, sacrifice, and community.
There is a growing collection of movies that explore Muslim history, identity, and values in meaningful ways. Whether you want something educational, emotional, or inspiring, here are five Islamic movies worth watching this sallah.
1. The Message (1976)
Often regarded as the most important Islamic film ever made, The Message tells the story of the early days of Islam and the spread of its message. Directed by Moustapha Akkad. The Message tells the story of the early rise of Islam in 7th-century Arabia. It follows the struggles of Prophet Muhammad’s early followers from persecution in Mecca to migration (Hijrah) and eventual establishment in Medina. The film respectfully avoids depicting the Prophet, instead telling the story through his companions.
Its storytelling, scale, and cultural significance make it a must-watch, especially during Eid when reflection on faith is central.
Major Cast
Anthony Quinn (Hamza) Irene Papas (Hind) Michael Ansara (Abu Sufyan) Johnny Sekka (Bilal ibn Rabah)
Muhammad: The Messenger of God (2015)
This visually rich film focuses on the childhood of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), offering a unique perspective rarely explored in cinema. Directed by Majid Majidi, the film blends spirituality with strong cinematography and emotional storytelling. Like The Message, it maintains religious sensitivity by not showing the Prophet directly.
It is an ideal choice for viewers who want something both educational and visually engaging during the holiday.
For a more family-friendly option, Bilal: A New Breed of Hero tells the inspiring story of Bilal ibn Rabah, one of the most respected companions in Islamic history. It focuses on his courage, faith, and fight for freedom.
Directed by Khurram H. Alavi and Ayman Jamal
The animation brings the story to life in a way that is accessible to both younger audiences and adults, making it a perfect Eid watch for families. Beyond entertainment, it delivers powerful lessons about resilience, faith, and freedom.

Assalamualaikum Beijing (2014)

The Muslims Are Coming! (2013)

Eid is not just about celebration, it is about reconnecting with faith, appreciating sacrifice, and strengthening bonds with family and community. These films reflect those values in different ways, from historical storytelling to modern-day experiences.
The global toy trend that took social media by storm is set to make its Hollywood debut. Pop Mart, the Chinese company behind the viral Labubu series, is partnering with Sony Pictures Entertainment to develop a feature film based on the franchise. The movie is currently in early development, focusing on planning and writing, with no release date announced yet.
The project will be a hybrid of live action and CGI, translating the mischievous Labubu characters from toy shelves to the big screen. Paul King, director of family hits like Paddington and Wonka, is set to helm the project and co-write the screenplay with award-winning playwright Steven Levenson. Pop Mart’s founder, Kasing Lung, will serve as executive producer, ensuring that the film stays true to the original vision of the Labubu universe.
Labubu originated in 2015 as a line of collectible plush and vinyl toys created by Kasing Lung, a Hong Kong-based illustrator. The toys feature playful “ugly-cute” monsters with wide eyes, pointy ears, and toothy grins. Sold mostly in blind boxes, where buyers don’t know which figure they’ll get until they open it, the surprise element has made collecting addictive and fueled a global craze.
Though Labubu has been around for years, its popularity skyrocketed in 2024 and 2025, particularly in Asia and mostly through social media. The character became a viral phenomenon across TikTok, Instagram, and other platforms. Celebrity exposure also played a role; Notably, BLACKPINK’s Lisa was photographed with a Labubu keychain, sparking waves of posts and videos showcasing the toy worldwide.
Forward to 2026, the frenzy around Labubu is no longer just online. Rare figures often sell for premium prices in the resale market, and the toy has inspired exhibitions, parades, and themed events in multiple countries. Its mix of humor, design charm, and collectible appeal has made it a recognizable cultural icon for Gen Z and collectors alike.

Best Casting: Cassandra Kulukundis — One Battle After Another
Pop superstar Billie Eilish is preparing to take a major step into the film industry as she lines up her feature acting debut in a new adaptation of The Bell Jar, the classic novel by Sylvia Plath.
The project, which began drawing industry attention this week, will be written and directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Sarah Polley, known for the critically acclaimed film “Women Talking.”
According to early reports, Billie Eilish is attached to play Esther Greenwood, the central character of the novel. The story follows a young woman navigating life during a prestigious internship in New York while grappling with mental health struggles and the pressure of societal expectations.
First published in 1963, The Bell Jar is widely regarded as one of the most influential novels exploring identity, ambition, and psychological struggle. The semi-autobiographical story mirrors aspects of Plath’s own life and has remained a major story for generations of readers.
In the upcoming adaptation, Polley will both write and direct the project, bringing her distinctive storytelling approach to the material. Her previous film, Women Talking, earned widespread praise and won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.
The film will be produced by Plan B Entertainment, the production company founded by Brad Pitt, alongside StudioCanal.
U.S. distribution will be handled by Focus Features. As of now, the rest of the cast and the production timeline have not been announced.
Although Billie Eilish is primarily known for her global music career, she has had a small acting role before. In 2023, she appeared in the television series “Swarm,” created by Donald Glover. However, The Bell Jar would mark her first time leading a major feature film.
The casting has attracted significant attention partly because the novel’s themes closely mirror issues Billie Eilish has spoken about publicly, including mental health, body image, and the pressures of fame.
Billie Eilish already has strong ties to the film industry through her music. She has won two Academy Awards for Best Original Song, first for the theme from “No Time to Die” and later for “What Was I Made For?” from Barbie. The wins made her the youngest person to secure two Oscars in that category.
Beyond The Bell Jar, the singer is also involved in another film project. She is co-directing a concert documentary titled “Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour” (Live in 3D) with acclaimed filmmaker James Cameron, known for directing the blockbuster Avatar. The film is scheduled to be released on May 8, 2026 through Paramount Pictures.
Hoppers is the latest original animated film from Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Pictures, and it has quickly become one of the most talked about family movies of early 2026.
The film was released in theaters on March 6, 2026, and it represents another attempt by Pixar to bring fresh, original storytelling back to the big screen after several years dominated by sequels and franchise films.The movie is directed by Daniel Chong, known for creating the animated series We Bare Bears, with a screenplay written by Jesse Andrews.
The story centers on Mabel Tanaka, a curious and determined 19 year old animal lover voiced by Piper Curda. When scientists invent a new technology called “Hoppers,” which allows human consciousness to be transferred into lifelike robotic animals, Mabel decides to try the experiment herself. Using the technology, she becomes a robotic beaver in order to communicate with animals in their own environment.
What begins as a simple mission driven by curiosity soon turns into something much larger when she learns that human activity may threaten the animals’ habitat. As the danger grows, Mabel works together with a group of animals to protect their world and expose the threat.
The film features a strong voice cast that includes Bobby Moynihan, Jon Hamm, Dave Franco, and Kathy Najimy. One of the most surprising roles comes from Meryl Streep, who voices the powerful and mysterious Insect Queen. Their performances add humor and personality to the film’s colorful world.
Critics and fans of Pixar have responded positively to the movie. On Rotten Tomatoes the film holds a strong approval rating, with many reviewers praising its energetic humor, imaginative concept, and detailed animation. Some critics have even described it as one of Pixar’s funniest films in years. Audiences have also reacted well, giving the film an “A” grade on CinemaScore, which suggests strong word of mouth among viewers.
At the box office, the film has opened with solid numbers. It earned about $46 million in the United States during its opening weekend and reached around $88 million worldwide shortly after release.
The film reportedly cost about $150 million to produce, and early projections suggest that if the positive reception continues, it could reach 500 million dollars globally.
The film’s mix of comedy, adventure, and emotional storytelling fits well with Pixar’s tradition of family entertainment. At the same time, the story also touches on themes such as environmental responsibility, empathy toward animals, and the importance of cooperation.With its colorful animation, energetic humor, and imaginative idea of humans experiencing the world through animals, Hoppers appears to be a strong start for Pixar in 2026 and a key statement that original animated stories can still attract large audiences in theaters.

Wuthering Heights Becomes an Unexpected Box Office Hit in Early 2026
The new film adaptation of Wuthering Heights has turned into one of the early box office surprises of 2026. Directed by Emerald Fennell, the movie was released by Warner Bros. on February 13, 2026, just before Valentine’s Day weekend. Since then, the gothic romance has earned close to 200 million dollars worldwide, despite having a production budget of about 80 million dollars.
The film stars Margot Robbie as Catherine Earnshaw and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff. Their performances helped attract strong interest from audiences curious to see a new take on the famous love story. The movie opened strongly during the Presidents’ Day weekend period in the United States, earning around 83 million dollars globally in its first extended weekend. About 37 to 40 million dollars came from the domestic market, while roughly 42 to 45 million dollars came from international territories.
The opening made it the biggest worldwide launch of the year at the time and continued a streak of strong releases for Warner Bros. Within its first week in theaters, the film had already crossed the 100 million dollar mark worldwide, meaning it recovered its production budget very quickly. This happened even though the movie faced mixed reviews and debate before release over its casting choices, costume design, and the more mature tone used in this version of the story.
International markets have played a major role in the film’s success. Around 63 percent of its total earnings have come from outside the United States. The United Kingdom has been one of the strongest markets, bringing in more than 22 million dollars. Other strong territories include Italy and Australia, where audiences responded well to the dramatic romance and visual style of the film.
By the end of February, the film had already passed 150 million dollars globally. As of early March, it is approaching or crossing the 200 million dollar mark. In the United States and Canada, the film has earned around 74 to 75 million dollars so far, placing it among the highest earning films of the year.
The second weekend saw a noticeable drop at the domestic box office. The film moved to second place after the release of GOAT, earning about 14.2 million dollars that weekend. Even with that decline, the movie continued performing well internationally and maintained steady ticket sales.
With a production cost of around 80 million dollars and additional marketing expenses, the film is already considered profitable. Its performance also places Emerald Fennell among the highest grossing female directors for a single film in recent years.
The success of this adaptation shows that audiences are still interested in dramatic stories aimed at adults, even at a time when family films and large franchise movies dominate the box office. As new releases such as Hoppers arrive in theaters, Wuthering Heights continues its steady run and stands as one of the early theatrical success stories of 2026.
