The trailer for Brand New Day (2026), the fourth Spider-Man movie in the MCU, was released last week, promising the most poignant movie in the quartet. Following the end of No Way Home (2021), Peter Parker is all alone as he tackles not only a new mysterious enemy but also...
Autumn Durald Arkapaw has won the Oscar for best cinematography at the 98th Academy Awards, for her work on Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, becoming the first woman to have received the honour.

I unfortunately arrived to Tarang Hardikar: If I’m Not Wrong slightly after the show began and was greeted by Hardikar asking why I was late.
