PlayStation’s State of Play livestream brought exciting news for fans of Marvel’s fighting games, with a surprising twist. Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls—arriving in 2026 for PC and PS5—is coming not from Capcom, developer of so many past Marvel games in the genre, but instead from a different Japanese company, Arc System Works (Guilty Gear, BlazBlue). Also of note, the game is a 4v4 tag-team fighter, and features some snazzy tokusatsu-inspired designs for its large roster of familiar characters.

It’s not every actor that can say they made their big-screen debut in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, playing one of the Joker’s freaky henchmen, but David Dastmalchian is not every actor. He’s been appearing in movies and TV for years, though his big leading-man breakout came fairly recently, in 2023’s Late Night With the Devil. With that, he went from being “that guy” to a face with a name everyone recognizes. Along the way he’s done some interesting side gigs, including writing comics a

George Romero's first horror film is an easy recommendation. A group of survivors take refuge in a house while members of the undead swarm outside. The influential flick is often regarded as the first modern zombie movie, and while it may not offer Freddy Krueger-level frights, you'll be drawn in by the characters at the center of its story. You're going to want to leave the door open for this one (but in the case of an actual apocalypse, keep it very, very shut).
