The First ‘Red Sonja’ Trailer Feels Like an Early Aughts Throwback

gizmodo.com Isaiah Colbert 2026-02-23 11:00:02

Late last night the first trailer for Red Sonja, Dynamite Comic’s iconic chain-mail-bikini-clad warrior brought to life by Revenge star Matilda Lutz, hit the web, and it’s time to party like it’s 2004. The trailer, which might’ve revealed a bit too much about what happens in the film, all but promises to be a nostalgic throwback to sweeping fantasy and stylized action vibes from the early to mid-aughts. Directed by MJ Bassett (Rogue, Solomon Kane), Red Sonja follows the titular hero, who, after

Mysterious Signals From Deep Space Expose Aftermath of Failed Cosmic Eruptions

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2026-02-25 21:25:20

Whenever we study space, we’re usually talking about long-lasting objects, like our own solar system or faraway galaxies that occasionally catch our attention when something extraordinary happens. But sometimes, the universe sends us quick, random bursts of energy that are usually too far away and too ephemeral for scientists to make any sense of—like fast X-ray transients (FXTs), whose elusive origins have long evaded astronomers. Recently, however, astrophysicists had a lucky strike: spotting

While most JavaScript frameworks started with building complex applications and then tried to adapt to simpler sites, Astro went the opposite direction.

You May Want to Buy a Nintendo Switch 2 Before Tariffs Drive Up the Price

Nintendo’s Switch 2 may have avoided a tariff-related disaster at launch, but today is a new day full of fresh economic horrors, and that means (unfortunately for everyone) potentially new and more draconian U.S. tariffs. In letters to 14 countries sent on Tuesday, President Donald Trump threatened to drastically hike tariffs by as much as 40% by the end of the month, which, for the record, marks a several-week extension of prior tariffs that were set to take effect on July 9.

He was one of the actors being considered for the lead role in Matt Reeves’ The Batman and was also considered to play Superman for James Gunn.
