'Spider-Verse' spin-off 'Spider-Punk' in development at Sony with Daniel Kaluuya: Report
Oscar-winner Daniel Kaluuya, who voiced the rebellious British superhero in the 'Across the Spider-Verse', is developing and co-writing the new project alongside Ajon Singh.
Though plot specifics are still under wraps, the film is expected to showcase Hobie Brown's anarchic brand of heroism, powered not just by spider-strength but by a guitar that doubles as a weapon.
Kaluuya's character made a memorable debut in Across the Spider-Verse, which introduced audiences to a multitude of alternate Spider-Men from across the multiverse. Hobie quickly became a fan favourite, and he's expected to return in 'Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse', currently slated for release on June 25, 2027.
While there's no set release date for Spider-Punk, its announcement has already stirred excitement among fans of the franchise.
The new film expands the critically acclaimed and commercially successful Spider-Verse saga. The original 2018 film, 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse', earned over $384 million worldwide and won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. Its sequel, 'Across the Spider-Verse', far exceeded expectations with a global box office haul of $690 million.
The story of Miles Morales will now continue in the upcoming 'Beyond the Spider-Verse' — where he finds himself a fugitive trying to save his family.

Trinity Rodman reacts to Ben Shelton's Toronto win with funny takes on tennis traditions
Trinity Rodman reacts to Ben Shelton's Toronto win with funny takes on tennis traditions (Image via Getty) Trinity Rodman and Ben Shelton have been a couple for less than six months. As Ben Shelton reached the semi‑finals of the National Bank Open in Toronto on August 6, 2025, the Washington Spirit forward posed questions about tennis that even he couldn't clearly explain. She turned to fans with fresh confusion and curiosity. Her post became a bridge between two sports worlds, drawing attention to etiquette, traditions, and the differences between soccer and tennis. Trinity Rodman asks tennis questions after Ben Shelton wins quarterfinal On August 6, 2025, Ben Shelton beat Alex de Minaur in Toronto in straight sets (6‑3, 6‑4) to advance to the National Bank Open semi‑finals. Trinity Rodman, 23, watched from afar and shared a TikTok video asking tennis fans for help understanding the game. She admitted that she asked Ben Shelton about tennis rules but his answers left her more confused. One question she stressed: why do players raise their hand and say 'sorry' when they win a point after the ball hits the net? She compared it to scoring off the post in soccer and apologising to the goalkeeper, something she found puzzling. She also wondered why tennis players must act so reserved after winning a point, as showing strong emotion can be seen as cocky. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like What Happens To Celebrities That Go To Jail? Undo Trinity Rodman pointed to the strict traditions at events like Wimbledon, where players and even fans wear all white, a rule she doesn't understand compared to soccer's varied jerseys. She joked that a match between Ben Shelton and Flavio Cobolli felt like a 'Spider‑Man meme' because they wore nearly identical outfits. Trinity Rodman wrapped up the video by suggesting two changes: let players choose the music during changeovers and extend the 90‑second break between games. She said long waits can cause missed bathroom breaks or lost games. Her video drew over 137 comments from fans who didn't think her questions were 'stupid'.

Brad Pitt mourns mother Jane at 84 amid painful family rift
Brad Pitt's mother, Jane Etta Pitt, has died at age 84, his niece Sydney confirmed in an emotional Instagram tribute. She described Jane, a former Missouri school counselor, as having "the biggest heart" and teaching kindness, faith, and finding joy in small things. Jane, married to trucking executive William Pitt for 62 years, was the family's "glue," famously mediating disputes and attending red carpets with her Oscar-winning son. Brad last publicly acknowledged her in June, blowing a kiss during a TV interview: 'Love you, Mom'. Her death follows a January scam where fraudsters impersonated her to steal $800,000 from a woman convinced she was dating Brad. Jane's passing intensifies Brad's heartbreak over his fractured relationship with his six children. Five have publicly distanced themselves: Zahara (19), Shiloh (18), and Vivienne (16) legally dropped "Pitt" from their surnames, while Pax (20) once called him a 'world-class a--hole'. Only Knox (16) retains "Jolie-Pitt" . The rift stems from a 2016 plane incident where Angelina Jolie accused Brad of physical abuse during a drunken argument with Maddox (22). Though never charged, the children aligned with Jolie. Brad has "virtually no contact" with his adult kids and limited court-mandated visits with the minors. Despite the chasm, Brad clings to hope for reconciliation, especially with twins Knox and Vivienne. He orders their favorite foods during rare visits and "prays they'll give him a chance" . Insiders say he's "totally devastated" by the estrangement but refuses to 'give up'. Jane's death may deepen his isolation: She and William sent annual birthday cards to the grandkids but received no replies . Brad's parents last saw the children in 2014; family photos vanished from social media after 2016. As one source noted: "He loves his children and misses them. It's very sad" . For now, Brad focuses on film projects and girlfriend Ines de Ramon while navigating grief and unanswered texts to his kids.

John Cena Breaks Silence On Brock Lesnar's Shock Return At WWE SummerSlam
World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) superstar John Cena broke his silence on Brock Lesnar's shocking return. Brock made his return at WWE SummerSlam following Cena's match against Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship. Cena dropped his title to Cody in a hard-fought clash and was attacked by Brock just after his match. Interviewed by 'Adam's Apple' immediately after the event, Cena opened up about the surprising return and his feelings towards a long-time rival. 'I've been saying the same thing for 25 years: They deal 'em, I play 'em.' 'I'm just really excited. We've got like 12 of these things left. I think SummerSlam was an indication from the audience where everybody kind of knows we're closing our book. And just because I close my book in December, that doesn't mean the WWE closes its books. They've got to continue their programming going forward. So, they're just trying to make the most exciting shows for the fans and for the dozen of them I got left – they deal 'em, I play 'em,' Cena replied. Earlier, CM Punk revealed that he is glad he found another opportunity to work with Cena before the latter exits the WWE arena. In an interview with ENews, Punk described his camaraderie with John Cena as a "marriage that unfolded on screen that we both needed at the time." "He was the goody two-shoes, Boy Scout, good guy that a lot of places booed out of the building," Punk said. "Then I was this despicable... bad guy, and people seemed to love it." "There's a part of me in my head that regrets stepping out because of what more we could have done," Punk asserted. "But it makes it so much sweeter that I'm back now, and I was able to come in here and work with him one last time," CM Punk added.
