Star Trek fans have been desperate for another movie outing for Chris Pine’s Kirk and his Enterprise crew to beam onto our screens, but it looks like they should’ve been careful what they wished for. The latest rumors have it that Paramount is finally making headway with the long-delayed film, but with a director most fans hoped would never return to the franchise. Here’s a hint: they’re also not popular with Star Wars lovers. Another hint: their name rhymes with Smay Smay Smabrams. Have a think, you’ll work it out…

It’s currently ranking higher than The Avengers — with Spider-Man: No Way Home being the next domino to fall. The outer-space sequel is also now officially the highest-grossing film of 2022, once again leaving Marvel far in the dust. Your move, Kevin Feige.

The Power Rangers franchise is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2023, with a Mighty Morphin reunion coming later this year, so it’s no surprise nostalgic fans are revisiting the original movie based around the teenagers with attitude with rose-tinted glasses right now. Don’t forget, Netflix is currently working on a reboot of the IP, but it seems that those who grew up with the 1995 flick are going to find it hard to be won over by the shiny, new version. Basically, it’s bring back Ivan Ooze or bust.
