'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' IMAX Screening Enjoys Marvel-lous Turnout With 370 Eager Fans
It's their first steps towards the next major Fantastic Four film release since 2015, and Marvel Studios is going all out this time around with The Fantastic Four: First Steps , the second reboot of the series, which features a brand-new cast of heroes. The awesome foursome might have new faces, but this is still the same superhero team everyone knows and loves, as fans in Singapore who had the chance to see them in action during a Geek Culture IMAX Screening Event on 24 July 2025 would know. Hosted in partnership with Marvel Singapore, the evening was abuzz with fans decked out in their best Fantastic Four fit, eagerly awaiting the action about to unfold on the big(ger) screen. What's more, early birds were even treated to… well, a literal treat, snagging a slice of Pizza Hut Singapore's all-new Cheesy 7 Quadro, with four flavours inspired by the powers of each superhero, such as cheese, hot honey, truffle and BBQ. As fans shuffled into their seats, the main event was further hyped by its pre-show activities, where a lucky few walked away with exclusive merchandise, including five sets of The Fantastic Four: First Steps premiums consisting of a themed t-shirt, an A5 embossed notebook and a backpack, alongside other goodies like Marvel Legends Fantastic Four action figures from Hasbro Singapore, and themed T-shirts from Of the 370-strong crowd, six were awarded the Best Dressed medal-of-honour: an Emma Frost, a Silver Surfer, a Galactus, and three Mister Fantastics. Set in a vibrant 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, The Fantastic Four: First Steps introduces new faces for its titular heroes – Reed Richards, aka Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm, aka Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm, aka Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) and Ben Grimm, aka The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach). Together, the team navigates the fine balance between being heroes and strengthening their family bond, all while defending Earth from an intergalactic threat, the ravenous cosmic entity Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). And fourth time is truly the charm, as the film delivers not just the epic set-piece moments Marvel is so well-known for, but mixes things up with a compelling tale of connections, love, and most importantly, the strength of humanity when banded together in the face of great adversity. Even as the credits rolled, all eyes were firmly set on the future and all the adventures in store for the newest, and arguably, most fantastic take on the superhero team yet. Marking a new beginning for Marvel and the Fantastic Four franchise, the latest superhero adventure is an easy recommendation for both comic book and MCU (short for Marvel Cinematic Universe) enthusiasts, as well as families and complete franchise newcomers. Even as the iconic quartet are attached to fresh faces, one thing remains the same – nothing's impossible as long as you have family. Kevin is a reformed PC Master Race gamer with a penchant for franchise 'duds' like Darksiders III and Dead Space 3 . He has made it his life-long mission to play every single major game release – lest his wallet dies trying.

The brand new Accessories System in Marvel Rivals Season 3 explained
Image via NetEase Games. One of the major reasons for Marvel Rivals' unreal success is its wide variety of cosmetics. Multiplayer games generally feed on these precious in-game rewards, but this NetEase Games hero-shooter might have taken to the next level. Be it outfits, emotes, sprays, nameplates, and many more, Marvel Rivals offers everything to everyone. However, with the arrival of Season 3, a new kind of cosmetic is set to take entry into the game. What is the Accessories system in Marvel Rivals Season 3 ? Marvel Rivals Season 3 'Abyss Awakens' is just a matter of time now. With an array of brand new skin types and new features like mix and match skins MVP animations, the upcoming season has already set the tone. However, that's not the end as now a type of cosmetic called accessories is set to be featured in the game as well. So, what is it? Accessories are actually character specific objects which can be attached to your favorite heroes in Marvel Rivals. For example, the Jeff Handbag accessory can be donned like a real-life handbag by Emma Frost. On the other hand, the Deadpool Plush can be attached to the fin of Jeff the Land Shark. Just like a Valorant gun buddy, the Orochi Plush can be tagged to Psylocke's Psionic Sword. As the name suggests, the MJ Plush hands from the back of Spiderman. Groot and Rocket Raccoon have got their respective accessories themed on each other's bestfriends. Now, many fans might think, a new cosmetic means more spending. But that's not the case. Players can acquire these adorable hero-themed accessories without spending any real world money, Lattice, Units, or even Chrono Token. All they need to do is to earn Accessory Points by playing Quick Matches and Competitive game modes. After accumulating the required amount of Accessory Points, players then can exchange that for their desired accessories. However, the exact amount of Accessory Points to purchase specific accessories is yet to be revealed by NetEase Games. These accessories will be launched in Marvel Rivals with the release of Season 3, which is on July 11, 2025 .

Netflix brews a clever solution to keep audiences coming back
As streaming giant Netflix (NFLX) looks forward to the second half of 2025, it's already planning a way to outshine the first. That's going to be a tall order, as Netflix's performance has already been impressive this year. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Its Q1 earnings call in April was packed with successes, with a revenue increase of 13% and a rise in operating income and free cash flow. Netflix forecasts 2025 revenue to be at least $43 billion, which would be a double-digit increase over the previous year. Netflix's success can be attributed to a few different elements of its strategy. Naturally, content plays a huge role, both in terms of continuing series that have resonated with audiences and brand-new IPs. After releasing the highly anticipated sequel to the smash hit Korean series "Squid Game" at the end of 2024 to major accolades, Netflix also found itself with a few other hits on its hands, including "Adolescence," season 5 of "You," and season 7 of "Black Mirror." Related: Netflix has a genius plan to find its next big hit show Content aside, Netflix has also seen tremendous success in an area it long resisted: its ad-supported tier. Launched in November 2022, the service has raked in 94 million users to date, proving a perfect antidote to consumer worries about inflation and reducing costs in an uncertain climate. Another key move the company's made is moving into the live sports arena. It kicked off that effort by broadcasting two Christmas Day National Football League (NFL) games and forging a new relationship with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It's also won the broadcast rights in the United States for the 2027 and 2031 Women's World Cups, putting it in a prime position to pull in even more new fans. When it comes to popularity of shows on Netflix, one of the top performers for the platform is "Bridgerton." Based on a novel series by historical romance author Julia Quinn, "Bridgerton" was a smash hit right out of the gate, with Netflix announcing back in 2021 that the show was its biggest series ever at the time, with 82 million global households watching the show in its first 28 days. More Streaming: Walt Disney offers new perks for Disney+ membersBank of America sends strong message on NetflixNetflix has a genius plan to find its next hit show By its third season, "Bridgerton" had broken even more records, joining the list of Netflix's most popular shows of all time with 91.9 cumulative viewers since its May 16, 2024 premiere. As "Bridgerton" showrunners prepare the fourth season for its 2026 debut - a two-year wait for a very fervent fanbase - Netflix is considering how to bridge the gap. And it's found a potential solution. Now, Netflix is brewing its next big success story by taking a classic from an era that's already deeply resonated with viewers and retooling it for a modern audience. Netflix has announced that British showrunner Emma Frost, along with Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, and Tracey Cook, will direct a limited-series adaption of author Edith Wharton's classic novel "The Age of Innocence." Set in 19th century New York, Wharton's novel is about a passionate love triangle between a man, his wife, and a third woman who he knows he should not be in love with, but cannot help himself. "The new take promises to be true to Wharton's novel but will speak to a new generation as it traverses the ballrooms and bedrooms of its young characters, asking what is love - and what is lust. And should we ultimately be driven by our heads, or by our hearts?" Netflix says in its announcement of the show. Just as executive producer Shonda Rimes reinvented "Bridgerton" by introducing diversity into its universe, it sounds as if "The Age of Innocence" may also get a spin on its treatment. And considering that the novel's original message is a bittersweet one, it will be quite interesting to see if Netflix can pull off the magic of reinventing a bygone era a second time.
