There was no shortage of excitement surrounding the release of a short teaser for Christopher Nolan’s mysterious, upcoming sci-fi film Interstellar late last year, but the brief preview revealed precious little about its plot or tone, leaving many to wonder exactly what the team that brought us Inception and The Dark Knight trilogy had in store for audiences. Thankfully, the first full trailer debuted over the weekend and pulled back the curtain a bit — but only a little bit.

Set to hit theaters November 7, Interstellar follows a group of astronauts who test the limits of space travel by traveling through a newly discovered wormhole. Oscar-winning actor Matthew McConaughey stars in the film, which features an all-star cast that includes Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Ellen Burstyn, John Lithgow, Michael Caine, Casey Affleck, and Topher Grace.

The new trailer focuses on McConaughey’s character, a former engineer and pilot who now appears to be eking out a living as a farmer with a small family. Tasked with heading off into space in search of a potential solution to a global food shortage, McConaughey’s character must decide between his family and humanity’s future on the other side of the wormhole.

Beyond what’s seen in the trailer, there’s little else known about the project — which is an impressive feat in the modern media age, but relatively common with Nolan’s films.

Deadpool & Wolverine: Everything we know about the film formerly known as Deadpool 3
Deadpool and Wolverine stand together in Deadpool & Wolverine.

In retrospect, we should have suspected that Deadpool & Wolverine wouldn't keep its most famous co-star out of the title. In 2022, Ryan Reynolds coaxed Hugh Jackman into reprising his role as Wolverine for the first time since 2017's Logan. Once that happened, the name Deadpool 3 didn't fully convey how monumental this film would be.

So Marvel Studios has officially retitled it as Deadpool & Wolverine. Jackman has also humorously rebranded the film as Wolverine & [expletive], which would make this R-rated flick a lot harder to market!

5 years ago, Game of Thrones aired its last great episode. Here’s why it still holds up
Jamie knights Brienne in episode 2 of Game of Thrones season 8.

Many fans would likely agree that Game of Thrones went out not with a bang, but a profound whimper. After dominating pop culture for nearly 10 years, the hit HBO series concluded with a trio of episodes that were universally reviled by both fans and critics alike. The show's lackluster, ham-fisted finale led to its popularity seemingly vanishing into thin air. In the five years since it aired, time hasn't been kind to Game of Thrones season 8.

To this day, many people still discuss the series' final season with a mix of bitterness and disbelief, and those fans won't find any disagreement about the quality of Game of Thrones' last few chapters here. As disappointing as its eighth season remains, though, April 21 marked the five-year anniversary of its noteworthy second episode, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. The fan-favorite installment ranks not only as its season's best chapter, but also as the last great episode that Game of Thrones ever produced.

It's sad to see April end. Not only was the weather nice, but Netflix was killing it with a lot of its original programming like the thriller series Ripley with Andrew Scott, the true-life story Scoop, and the cathartic drama Baby Reindeer, which became a surprise hit late in the month.
