Netflix's most popular movies each month can be somewhat varied, from new original releases to classics, as well as more unusual titles that are given a second life by the streamer. March 2021's list of the top ten films on the platform is no exception, with family-skewing comedy Yes Day the winner over Bigfoot Family. Other successful pictures, meanwhile, include The Dark Knight and Training Day, as well as Netflix specials like Deadly Illusions.
Currently enjoying buzz for Godzilla vs. Kong, Adam Wingard is certainly not resting on his laurels. With Face/Off 2 in the works, as well as a ThunderCats feature, the director is going to be busy over the next few years. In terms of the former film, it's being developed as a sequel to the 1997 John Woo original, and Wingard has been dropping hints as to what audiences can expect.
With Arrow wrapping up last year, and Supergirl in its final season, The Flash is now the leading Arrowverse programming on The CW. The series recently returned after a COVID-19-enforced break with its seventh run, and has already been pulling off some interesting plot twists and casting additions from the DC Universe.
Ryan Murphy has traditionally been effective at teasing new seasons of American Horror Story, typically dropping hints on social media months before sharing details. In the last few weeks or so, we learned that the next instalment of the anthology show will be called American Horror Story: Double Feature, and will include two stories. Not only that, but according to returning cast member Angelica Ross, we can look forward to a "bloodbath" as well.
A new book by Kristin Baver, Skywalker: Family at War, is questioning whether or not Anakin Skywalker was the Chosen One, a being destined to bring balance to the Force, by digging into the main players in the Star Wars saga, as well as the interpretation of prophecy.
Disney Plus continues to have a strong year, building its subscriber base and seeing widespread acclaim for WandaVision. With its latest MCU hit, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, also doing well, it's perhaps no surprise that confidence is high for the streamer and to mark the beginning of April, D+ is adding a large number of new titles, including some Star Wars classics and several high-profile movies from its back catalogue.
Things haven't been going too well for Joss Whedon recently, as increasing behind-the-scenes stories and criticism have reportedly led to him being blacklisted in Hollywood. The release of Zack Snyder's Justice League edit has only highlighted the strained on-set relationships of the theatrical cut, too, while the writer-director left upcoming series The Nevers before post-production had been completed. Now, insider Daniel Richtman is claiming that Whedon will not be involved in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot, either.
