Ironheart Featurette Hypes Up Incoming Trailer
Dominique Thorne had debuted as Ironheart/Riri Williams in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever , and it's been years since that film, and we still haven't seen her in any other MCU project.
Now Marvel is set to put Thorne in the spotlight with her own TV series Ironheart , and we have a new featurette featuring the team behind the show hyping up the drop of the first trailer. Check this out:
Admittedly, Ironheart is one of the newer characters to come out of the MCU, and this version of the character has a challenge in that she's introduced after the death of Tony Stark—the character who was supposed to be her mentor in the comics.
With Spider-Man essentially filling in that role of Iron Man's protégé, Riri kind of has the challenge of carving out her own identity without the help of the Tony Stark character. While it does seem hard, it's probably not impossible. After all, Miles Morales from Into the Spider-Verse had to have his origin changed from the comics, and that turned out to be one of the best things to happen for the character.
I just really hope Marvel has all the safeguards in place for Thorne online, because we should expect a lot of backlash on her, what being a POC character that's going to take over the mantle of one of Marvel's biggest heroes.
Personally, I'm just excited to see Alden Ehrenreich come into this show. After Han Solo didn't take off for him, I wanna see what he can do for the MCU since I think he's a great talent.
Ironheart is set to premiere on Disney+ on June 24.

'I was Crazy Strong, My Boobs Got Bigger': Sydney Sweeney on Gaining Weight for Christy Martin Biopic
Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney is probably best known for playing one kind of character, but anyone who follows her knows that she's a hard worker and she tends to lean into artsier projects. One incoming project has Sweeney playing the role of female boxing legend Christy Martin, and Sweeney had to bulk up a lot for the role. As it turns out, she gained a lot of weight over the course of a few months—and she also got 'crazy strong.' Talking to W Magazine, Sydney says that she had to undergo three and a half months of training to transform her body to look like Martin. She says, 'My body was completely different… I didn't fit in any of my clothes. I'm usually a size 23 in jeans, and I was wearing a size 27. My boobs got bigger. And my butt got huge. It was crazy! I was like, Oh my god.' Despite the aesthetic changes, Sweeney also commends that she got some functional strength out of it. She continues, 'But it was amazing: I was so strong, like crazy strong.' For now, the biopic has already wrapped, but no title has been revealed yet. We don't know exactly what to expect, but if you're curious about Martin's story, it is told via a Netflix documentary series called Untold Vol. 1: Deal with the Devil. No release date has been set for the Christ Martin biopic, but hopefully we can expect it later this year.

LEGO Sets Revealed for Netflix's One Piece
A lot of people are getting hyped for the second season of One Piece , and though they didn't have much merch in the first season, LEGO has revealed their new sets based on the live-action version of the Straw Hat Crew. Here's the official reveal: Hey there, Nakama! Are you ready for a grand adventure with the Straw Hats in LEGO bricks? 🏴☠️ Be the first in line – pre-order now. Link in bio.#LEGO #LEGOOnePiece #OnePiece #Netflix — ONE PIECE(ワンピース) Netflix (@onepiecenetflix) June 5, 2025 According to Netflix, the sets will include the Going Merry ship, Battle at Arlong Park, Buggy the Clown's Circus Tent, the Windmill Village Hut (with Shanks and Kid Luffy), and the largest set in the wave, The Baratie Floating Restaurant which not only includes the main Straw Hat crew, but some minifgs for the Navy characters and Mihawk as well. Source: Netflix, LEGO Seeing that this is LEGO, we should also expect a lot of playability with the sets as well. Just like in the series, Arlong's tower can also split in half and collapse; and Buggy's circus is full of all kinds of traps that he can put the crew in like a water tank and a cage. I'll admit, a lot of these sets are pretty great, and there's a great way to get several minifigs, even if you don't purchase the bigger sets. The Buggy set alone gets you three members of the Straw Hats; if I do have a gripe though, they should have probably added Zoro and Sanji to the Arlong Park set, but at least you get Usopp? THE ONE PIECE… THE LEGO ONE PIECE IS REALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!! — THE EVIL MIRACLE_MALICE (@MiracleSenpai) June 5, 2025 Though Netflix was considered to have been cursed when it came to anime adaptations, One Piece managed to break the mould, and everyone is excited for the Straw Hats to come back with the second season. The One Piece LEGO sets come out on Aug. 1. Season 2 for One Piece is set to come out in 2026.

Street Fighter: Walton Goggins Allegedly In Talks to Play M. Bison
Walton Goggins had played the villain in a video game movie way back when Alicia Vikander was Tomb Raider , but he could be getting physical in another video game property from Legendary. According to The InSneider, Goggins is currently in talks to play M. Bison for the Street Fighter movie. For context, Bison is considered one of the main villains in the franchise, and was also the main antagonist in the 1993 Street Fighter movie where he was played by Raul Julia. Though that movie is considered terrible by general audiences, it actually has cult status to cinephiles, and Raul Julia's portrayal of Bison was considered one of the best video game villain performances of all time. Going back to Goggins though, we know he can play a great villain, but it does feel like Bison should be able to have the physical chops as well if he's going to be a Street Fighter. If all he has to do is shoot Psycho Crushers at people though, I think it would be fun to just have Goggins just be as ridiculous of a villain as he can be. Heck, he can just do Uncle Baby Billy again from The Righteous Gemstones and I wouldn't complain: Should Goggins get the part, he would be joining a cast which includes Jason Momoa (Blanka), Andrew Koji (Ryu), Noah Centineo (Ken), and Roman Reigns (Akuma). Who knows, maybe they can get his Fallout co-star Ella Purnell to be the new Cammy; or should she be a British pop-star as well? No official release date has been set for Street Fighter , but it's expected to come to cinemas on 2026.
