See How ‘X-Men ’97’ Brought Cyclops to Life With a Look Inside Its Gorgeous New Artbook

There was a lot to love about X-Men ’97‘s continuation and evolution of the iconic X-Men: The Animated Series when its first season rolled out last year, but perhaps one of the best was the reminder to X-fans who’s primary experience with the character had been in adaptation, rather than in the comics, that Cyclops has always been one of the best X-Men characters. Marrying people’s memories of Scott from the original show with the huge development the character underwent throughout the 21st cent

Animated Death Stranding movie gets its screenwriter

Hideo Kojima said in an interview with Vogue Japan earlier this year that an anime based on his game Death Stranding was in the works. Today, Deadline reports that Aaron Guzikowski will write the screenplay for the upcoming animated feature based on the game world. His most recent credit is the sci-fi series Raised By Wolves, but Guzikowski has also worked on movies including Prisoners and Papillon. The animated film will tell "an original story" from the same universe as the already quite cinem

Death Stranding is getting an animated film

The strange world of Death Stranding just keeps on expanding. As Deadline reports, Hideo Kojima’s ghostly, post-apocalyptic video game is getting a spinoff in the form of an animated film. While there aren’t a lot of details yet, the animated feature will supposedly be in the same mold as other animated spinoffs like the recent Predator anthology on Hulu, which could be a good vehicle for Kojima’s particular brand of weirdness. Aaron Guzikowski, creator of the HBO series Raised by Wolves, has s

‘Spider-Man ’94’ Comic Will Pick Up Right Where the Animated Series Left Off

Spider-Man: The Animated Series remains a fan favorite nearly 30 years after its conclusion—and it’s not just that giant cliffhanger ending that makes people wish it would return, though that’s certainly a motivating factor. While the first season of X-Men ’97 did wink at the Spidey ending in its own finale last year, Marvel’s current animated series Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man has its own continuity going. However, a new Marvel comic will dive right back into The Animated Series story

'How to Train Your Dragon' Has Tempered My Disdain for Live-Action Remakes

I go into live-action remakes with an air of spite and the lowest expectations, and I typically walk out feeling like those emotions are justified. Cue the unimaginative plot, vapid characters and uninspired cinematography, and that is the bulk of these money-making ploys. But the How to Train Your Dragon remake from DreamWorks, in theaters now, admittedly left me awestruck. I went to see the live-action remake of this beloved 2010 film over the weekend and was anxious about whether it would ma

Apple will let third party music apps show animated artwork on the iPhone lock screen, not just Apple Music

One of the stylish visual changes to the iPhone on iOS 26 is a new layout for the lock screen when music is playing. Artwork can now be animated and shown full-screen on the iPhone display, with playback controls resting on a platter of a liquid glass. You can try this out right now with Apple Music. Play a song that has animated album art, and lock the phone. But users of third-party music streaming apps like Spotify will also be pleased to know that Apple is opening up this capability as an A
