Christian Bone is a Staff Writer/Editor at We Got This Covered. Since graduating with a Creative Writing degree from the University of Winchester, he has been cluttering up the internet with his thoughts on movies and TV for over a decade. The MCU is his comfort place but, if you asked him, he'd probably say his favorite superhero film is The Incredibles.
They played pioneers charting the furthest reaches of space on TV and now, two Star Trek captains are pioneers in real life, too, as they're among the first wave of people around the world to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
Over recent years, the Punisher has become an increasingly controversial figure in the Marvel pantheon of heroes. Or more accurately, there's been increasing controversy surrounding how he's been embraced by certain sections of society. Frank Castle's skull insignia has been co-opted by both law enforcers and criminals alike of late, muddying just what it is that the gun-toting vigilante stands for.
We haven't even seen the first movie of the planned Walking Dead trilogy starring Andrew Lincoln that AMC has got up its sleeve, but new intel may reveal how the story of Rick Grimes will ultimately wrap up. Lincoln said goodbye to the mainline TV series back in November 2018, and we were promised that he'd return in a film soon after. Due to various factors, though, the first outing has still yet to enter production. But the story of the trilogy is likely already mapped out.
At one stage, it seemed unthinkable, but now it sounds highly plausible. The latest word has it that Jar Jar Binks is finally making his return to the Star Wars saga in the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi TV series due on Disney Plus. As well as Ewan McGregor reprising his role as the Jedi Knight, Hayden Christensen has also been confirmed to be back as Anakin Skywalker. And with Liam Neeson likewise believed to be on board as Qui-Gon Jinn as well, why not slot Jar Jar in there, too?
It looks like we've got another Jeans Guy incident on our hands. The Mandalorian fans couldn't believe it when a crew member in casual wear was spotted in the background of one shot in the Star Wars show's second season. Now, a few months later, we're all obsessed with a different Disney Plus series and fans have caught another hilarious error. This time, it's involving Paul Bettany's arm in WandaVision.

As we head into the final few days of January, let's take a look at what's due on Amazon Prime Video next month. The streaming platform has just announced a load of new movies and TV shows that will be coming our way across the length of February and in total, there are over 50 fresh titles for subscribers to tuck in to help stave off those winter blues. There are a few notable originals amongst them, too, as well as a range of licensed content that you won't want to miss.
Andrew Lincoln left The Walking Dead way back in late 2019, and somehow we haven't seen the British star on our screens since then. This December just gone, Lincoln led a stage production of A Christmas Carol in London, which was livestreamed around the world, but other than that, he's been keeping a low profile. For those missing the Rick Grimes star, though, here's some good news: his new movie finally hits Netflix this week.
John Boyega is heading to Netflix with The Formula, the streamer's latest original movie. Deadline reports that the Star Wars actor - who's famously distanced himself from Disney of late - has signed up to play the lead in the project alongside none other than Robert De Niro, who will also produce. The Formula is the baby of The First Purge filmmaker Gerard McMurray, who will write, produce and direct, and it'll mark his second collaboration with Netflix following 2017's Burning Sands.
Batwoman returned earlier this month for its much-discussed second season. With Ruby Rose exiting the show after the first run, the Arrowverse series has essentially had to reboot itself, with Javicia Leslie coming in as new lead Ryan Wilder. DC fans have reacted positively to the heroine, so it seems the fandom will be able to cope with the loss of Kate Kane, but a sharp dip in ratings for the season 2 premiere suggests general audiences aren't so receptive to the change.
Now that the rights to the Netflix series are (mostly) back with Marvel Studios, fans are busy speculating about how Daredevil will be reintroduced into the MCU. But let's not forget the rest of the Defenders who deserve to get another shot in the franchise. Case in point: Jon Bernthal as the Punisher.
