One comment under the post read, 'Golden girl and golden energy.' Numerous others called her 'gorgeous'.

Spider-Man vs. antihero Punisher? Marvel's newest crossover might be its most intense yet; everything to know
No matter how much superhero fatigue is out there, Spider-Man always seems to swing above the noise. Tom Holland's take on the web-slinger remains a fan favourite, and now with Spider-Man: Brand New Day officially on the horizon, Marvel and Sony have dropped a major update. There's a new villain in town, and he's a familiar face. Spider-Man and the Punisher Enter: Jon Bernthal. Best known for playing Frank Castle, aka The Punisher, Bernthal has officially joined the upcoming Spider-Man movie, which begins shooting in England this summer and is set to release on July 31, 2026. Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) is directing, and the film will see the return of Zendaya as MJ as well as Jacob Batalon as Ned. Also joining the mix is Stranger Things breakout Sadie Sink. Having Bernthal's Punisher in the mix immediately hints at a grittier tone for the film. Known for his brutal, no-nonsense vigilante justice — fists, knives, and guns over gadgets and spells — the Punisher brings a raw intensity that could challenge Peter Parker in ways we haven't seen on screen before. As one fan said on X, 'There is so much they could do with this! Love to see a fight with Frank combating Peter's superhuman abilities with his tactical knowledge and planning.' Bernthal's Frank Castle first appeared in Netflix's Daredevil before headlining his own two-season series. He recently reprised the role in Daredevil: Born Again, and this new casting puts him squarely back in the MCU spotlight. The internet, of course, has lost it. 'I literally screamed. Best news I've heard in a while,' one fan wrote. Another added, 'Can't believe we're finally going to see the Punisher on screen alongside Spider-Man. It's been a long time coming.' So far, Brand New Day is shaping up to be anything but business as usual. The two stars will also be seen together in Christopher Nolan's upcoming movie adaptation of The Odyssey, which is due to release in July, 2026.

Will there be K-Pop Demon Hunters 2? Fans demand a sequel for Netflix movie after emotional twist and Rumi's cliffhanger ending
K-pop Demon Hunters made its global debut on Netflix on June 20, 2025, and it didn't take long to grab the spotlight. Brought to life by Sony Pictures Animation and directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, the animated musical fantasy has managed to wow global fans, thanks to its bold mix of K-pop energy, demon-slaying action, and eye-popping visuals that feel like a concert-meets-battlefield dreams come true. The animated action film featuring a fierce girl group battling demons by night and performing on stage by day has become a pop culture moment that's impossible to ignore. And now, just days after its release, fans are already asking, Will there be a sequel? Let's explore. What's K-pop Demon Hunters about? The film follows Huntrix, a chart-topping K-pop girl group made up of Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, who aren't just idols but also undercover demon hunters. When the lights go down and the encore ends, these girls swap their microphones for magical weapons, facing off against their biggest threat yet: the Saja Boys, a rival boy band possessed by demons. Their sinister plan is to drain fan energy during concerts to shatter the Honmoon, a mystical barrier that keeps the demon realm sealed away. In this universe, music is more than performance. Each song fuels their combat, turning high-stakes battles into electrifying stage shows where every note could mean survival. K-Pop Demon Hunters ending explained! The climactic moments of K‑pop Demon Hunters hinge on a major twist that Rumi is revealed to be half-demon, a truth she's hidden her whole life. As the daughter of a fallen demon hunter and an unnamed demon father, Rumi has lived with shame and fear over this side of herself. Her adoptive mother, Celine, has long helped her suppress that identity, hoping that completing the Honmoon barrier would rid her of it altogether. But during the final battle, when Gwi‑Ma's trance threatens to overwhelm the city, Rumi fully embraces both her human and demonic sides. Her emotional arc, centred on self-acceptance, proves to be her greatest weapon. In a moving moment, she sings a new original song that speaks directly to her inner conflict, disrupting Gwi-Ma's hold over the city and empowering Mira and Zoey to join her in battle. Jinu, the Saja Boys' leader and a former human turned demon, sacrifices himself to protect Rumi, adding emotional weight to the climax. In the end, Huntrix defeats Gwi‑Ma and restores the Honmoon, but Rumi's identity journey remains unresolved, setting up the potential for future stories that dive deeper into her origins and the mystery surrounding her parents. Will there be K-Pop Demon Hunters 2? Fans say this is just the beginning. The movie ends with a finale that many viewers say feels more like a setup than a conclusion. One person said on X, "Hear me out: this is just the beginning, and this is a setup for more, and we get to see more about their backgrounds and the lore. Trust me, we will get either a sequel or two OR a series. Although it may take a while getting songs as high quality as the movie."
