Deadpool proved once again that it is a franchise that loves to be in on the joke this week, with its own answer to the infamous Dune popcorn bucket that invites to cram that hand all the way down Hugh Jackman’s proverbial throat. And if that wasn’t enough for you to catch up on, we’ve got Lucasfilm taking a stand…
This week, pop culture had lots to get excited about: Steven Spielberg’s intriguing new sci-fi film; long-awaited horror comedy sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice; our first glimpse of the (new) star of The Witcher; more details about Australia’s mini-theme park celebrating all things Bluey, and beyond! - Cheryl Eddy
Welcome back to another week that was—from jumping in hot with Battlestar Galactica’s return to streaming, to our first look at our brand new Superman, and celebrating 25 years of Lego Star Wars, a lot’s been going on.

Are you watching For All Mankind? I hope so, because our regular reminders that you absolutely should be culminated this week with the news that Apple doesn’t just want more, but a whole extra show on top of what some of you already aren’t watching.

The X-Men are so back. They never really went away—they haven’t for generations at this point—but wow, has X-Men ‘97 got the world talking about mutants in a way they haven’t since... well, the ‘90s.

Also evil: the way Bill Skarsgård looks in the new Crow…
This weeks news brought with it a whole sandworm’s worth of Dune Part 2 coverage, from reviews to interviews, but that wasn’t all: we’ve got Cate Blanchett serving in the messy-looking Borderlands movie, a very cool X-Men figure, and a critical re-appraisal: Madame Web? Good, actually! With several asterisks. Check it…
This week’s news brought with it a bevy of superhero goodness—the first trailers for Deadpool & Wolverine and X-Men ‘97, the formal introduction of our cinematic Fantastic Four—and a whole heap of superhero messiness as Madame Web dropped like a stone on Valentines.

Read on for more on that, plus even more of our most-read stories of the week! —James Whitbrook
It’s the final week of 2023, but the news hasn’t stopped quite yet. As the year wound down, the io9 crew found time to look back on the year’s events, say goodbye (and possibly hello?) to some old friends, and return to some haunts we left behind. Check them out here!—James Whitbrook
