Thor stands his ground in the newly released trailer

By Ryan Fleming Published February 17, 2011

Up to this point, although there have been plenty of clips and stills of the upcoming film Thor, there really hasn’t been much of a look at what the film will be like. Sure you have a guy with a hammer, Natalie Portman looks hot and Anthony Hopkins gets mad and grounds Thor to Earth, but beyond small hints and ideas, it hasn’t been all that easy to get a feel for the upcoming Marvel Studios film.

In the trailer released earlier today, the film seems to be coming together nicely, and it may now be safely to become genuinely excited for director Kenneth Branagh’s take on the Asgardian superhero.

By now you probably have an idea of what Marvel is going to do, and if not, someone in the Marvel PR department has failed miserably. Beginning with the Iron Man films, Marvel has been crafting a universe around its characters which will reach a crescendo when the characters of Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America join the Hulk, Hawkeye, Black Widow and Nick Fury in next summer’s The Avengers.

Thor marks the third film in Marvel’s plan after the two Iron Man films, and next up is Captain America: The First Avenger, which hits theaters on July 22. Look for Thor in theaters in 3D, on May 6.

House of the Dragon season 3 trailer is here, and it is every bit as brutal as we hoped

After two seasons, the Dance of the Dragons looks brutal and bloody

Season 2 of House of the Dragon was a slow-motion tragedy. Seasons 1 and 2 were packed with misunderstandings, power plays, and a civil war that kept threatening to explode but never quite did.

Eight episodes of carefully arranged chess pieces, and by the time the finale arrived, the most dramatic thing that happened was Alicent sneaking off to Dragonstone to strike a secret deal with Rhaenyra to put an end to the Targaryen civil war.

Yellowstone Season 6 isn’t happening — here’s what’s replacing it

The Dutton family will be back

The cast of Yellowstone.

Yellowstone has been a breakout hit for the Paramount Network and remains one of the most-watched shows on television, consistently driving massive viewership and spawning an entire franchise of spin-offs. So when the fifth season wrapped up in 2024, expectations around Yellowstone Season 6 were immediate. Given the show’s popularity, its expanding universe, and multiple unresolved storylines, a continuation felt less like a possibility and more like the obvious next step.
However, Yellowstone Season 6 is not happening—at least not in the way fans originally expected. Yellowstone officially concluded with Season 5, and there has been no confirmation of a traditional sixth season. Instead, what was once expected to be Season 6 has effectively been reworked into a series of spin-offs that continue the story in a different format.
This shift is at the center of ongoing confusion around the future of Yellowstone. Early reports and industry speculation suggested that the show would continue with key characters, particularly Beth and Rip, leading into another season. But as production challenges mounted and key cast changes—most notably the exit of Kevin Costner—reshaped the direction of the series, those plans evolved into a broader franchise strategy.
As a result, Yellowstone Season 6 has effectively been replaced by new shows like Dutton Ranch, which carry forward major storylines without being labeled as a direct continuation. For viewers searching for answers, the key thing to understand is simple: the story isn’t over, but the format has changed.

Is Yellowstone season 6 still happening?

This weekend’s watchlist has two psychological thrillers that will mess with your head in completely different ways, and one animated series that has no business being this good.

All three are on HBO Max, criminally underrated, and at least one of them will stick with you long after the credits roll.
