Spider-Man has, for the most part, been an infallible IP for Sony. The Spider-Man films have been consistently successful—both critically and financially—making the Wall-Crawler one of Sony's most important brands. Given the character's popularity, Sony decided to try its hand at a superhero universe of its own. Out of that desire came Sony's Universe of Marvel characters, a franchise comprised of spinoffs based on characters from across Spidey's sandbox. The franchise kicked off in 2018 with Venom, starring Tom Hardy. The film became an unexpected hit, grossing over $800 million against a reported $100 million budget. Then, came 2021's Venom: Let There Be Carnage, which was a moderate-yet-impressive success, given its release when theaters were only just recovering from the pandemic. Af...

It appears Netflix is taking a page from the Disney playbook with the opening of Netflix House, a series of physical attractions designed to bring its popular shows and films into the real world — and it looks like Narnia will be part of those plans.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, each two-story venue is complete with immersive themed experiences, a full-size movie theatre for special events, a restaurant serving series-inspired dishes, a mini-putt course, retail shop, and interactive recreations of popular Netflix sets.

D’Angelo’s longtime friend and collaborator Questlove seemingly confirmed that his unreleased music could be coming soon this past weekend as he attended the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony.
