Marvel Studios is getting back into the Vision business. After years away from the Marvel Cinematic Universe after the emotionally devastating conclusion of WandaVision, Paul Bettany is getting rewired for a new series starring Marvel’s most endearing synthezoid. Marvel is developing the untitled Vision series for a 2026 premiere with Star Trek: Picard‘s Terry Matalas in the showrunner position. The door opened on a writer’s room this week, with the series being one of the first projects ordered at Marvel in quite some time.

We don’t know very much about The Gorge, the latest film from Sinister, The Black Phone, and Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson. Announced a year and a half ago, it’s an Apple Original Film coming our way from Skydance Productions and has Anya Taylor-Joy (Furiosa) and Miles Teller (Top Gun: Maverick) in the lead roles – and it has just earned a PG-13 rating from the Motion Picture Association ratings board for intense sequences of violence and action, brief strong language, some suggestive material and thematic elements.
Taylor-Joy recently told the folks at Collider that she was drawn to The Gorge because “I was really excited to work with Miles [Teller]. We’re all good friends, but we’ve been wanting to work together for a really long time. I think I was intrigued by the fact that it was semi genre-less in the sense that it was both a love story and an action movie. So, I was excited about that.“
Based on a spec script by Zach Dean, The Gorge is said to be a high-action, genre-bending love story. Collider reported that it’s a blend of mystery with action, sci-fi with horror, and a twist of romance. It centers on two soldiers (Taylor-Joy and Teller) who are tasked with guarding a seemingly never-ending gorge with one agent posted on either side.
Sigourney Weaver of the Alien, Avatar, and Ghostbusters franchises is also in the cast.
David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Don Granger of Skydance Productions are producing the film with Crooked Highway’s Scott Derrickson, C. Robert Cargill, and Sherryl Clark, as well as Zach Dean, Adam Kohlbrenner, and Greg Goodman. The film will be released through the Apple TV+ streaming service at some point, but a release date has not yet been announced.
With The Gorge complete, Derrickson will be turning his attention to The Black Phone 2, which was recently given an October 17, 2025 release date from Universal Pictures.

Narrative action-adventure game Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II may have relatively simple combat compared to other action games, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be mastered.

Eric Bana has been a mainstay on the big screen for decades. The Australian comedian turned dramatic actor has been in everything from Ang Lee’s Hulk to Ridley Scott’s Black Hawk Down, J.J. Abrams’s Star Trek, and Judd Apatow’s Funny People. Getting his big break on the Australian shows Full Frontal and the eponymous The Eric Bana Show Live, the actor hit Hollywood’s radar with his role in Chopper as the infamous criminal Mark Chopper Read. After over twenty years in the industry, Bana returned to Australia for the 2021 mystery The Dry and has now reprised the role of Aaron Falk for the sequel, Force of Nature.
Based on the novel by Jane Harper, Force of Nature picks up a year after The Dry as Aaron Falk and his partner investigate a money laundering scheme with the aid of insider Alice Russell (Anna Torv). When Russell goes missing on a work trip, Falk helps and talks with her boss, Jill Bailey (Deborra-Lee Furness), and coworkers Lauren (Robin McLeavy), Beth (Sisi Stringer), Bree (Lucy Ansell), and company owner Daniel Bailey (Richard Roxburgh). What begins as a missing person case spirals into more as flashbacks inform what happened to Alice and who was responsible.
I got to discuss Force of Nature with Eric Bana, amongst other topics. We talked about how he has gone twenty years, with this being his first sequel. We also discussed what makes these films uniquely Australian and what sets this film apart from its predecessor. We also talked about whether or not he and writer/director Robert Connolly are planning to adapt the third and final Aaron Falk novel, Exiles. Check out the full interview in the embed above.
