How to Watch Star Wars in Order: Canon, Legends, and Spin-offs (2026 Update)

In late 2025, the Star Wars galaxy is larger than ever. With the arrival of Skeleton Crew, the second season of Andor on the horizon, and new eras like The High Republic being explored on screen, the “Skywalker Saga” is now just one part of a massive timeline.

27th January 2026

In late 2025, the X-Men franchise has officially moved from the “Fox era” to the “Marvel Studios era,” but the timeline has never been more complicated.

Is Alien: Earth Good? The 2026 Spoiler-Free Verdict

27th February 2026

The Story: Corporate Warfare on Terra Firma Set in 2120—just two years before the events of Ridley Scott’s original 1979 classic—Alien: Earth brings the horror home. The story follows a deep-space research vessel, the USCSS Maginot, as it crash-lands on Earth. This isn’t just a simple monster hunt; it’s a high-stakes corporate war between the legendary Weyland-Yutani and the rising Prodigy Corporation. The Characters: The “Lost Boys” of Sci-Fi The emotional core of the show lies with Sydney Chandler as Wendy, a “Hybrid”—a human consciousness transferred into a synthetic body. Alongside her is the always-brilliant Timothy Olyphant as Kirsh, a synthetic mentor with a mysterious agenda. The cast feels fresh, and for once, the “human” drama is just as compelling as the alien encounters. The Visuals: Movie Quality on the Small Screen Don’t let the “TV” label fool you. Filmed on location in Thailand, the dystopian tropical aesthetic is breathtaking. Hawley uses practical effects wherever possible, meaning the Xenomorphs have that “weight” and slime-dripping reality that was so effective in Alien: Romulus. The Verdict: Alien: Earth is a masterclass in slow-burn tension. It honors the 1979 original’s “Truckers in Space” analogue tech while expanding the lore in ways Prometheus only dreamed of. If you love bone-deep dread and corporate conspiracy, this is your new favourite show.

This movie takes place in an alternate universe (Earth-828) set in a retro-futuristic 1960s. When to watch: Chronologically, it happens in the “past,” but narratively it sets up the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. We recommend watching it last (after Thunderbolts*) as a prelude to the timeline collision. [Pre-order Merch: Fantastic Four “First Steps” Apparel & Comics]

Charlie Cox Returns: Daredevil in the MCU & Future Projects

28th January 2026

Fantastic news for fans of Netflix’s Daredevil broke overnight, after it was confirmed by Kevin Feige himself that Charlie Cox is the MCU’s Daredevil. After Daredevil was cancelled back in 2018, when plans for Disney+ were set in motion, fans of The Man Without Fear were left disappointed. This bombshell was especially disappointing considering that the third season left us on somewhat of a cliff-hanger regarding Bullseye being introduced as the main antagonist in season 4. Ever since then, the question of Daredevil in the MCU has been left hanging, until now. MCU mastermind Kevin Feige recently did an interview with Cinemablend, where he confirmed Daredevil would not be recast in the MCU. If/when the character next appears in a Marvel movie or original series, he will in fact be played once again by Charlie Cox. Whilst this is exciting news for fans of that version of the character, it should be noted that this doesn’t necessarily mean that Cox will appear in the MCU anytime soon, as he has not officially been casted in any upcoming projects. All this really means is that another actor will not play Matt Murdock within the MCU. Check out Feige’s direct quote regarding the matter below and you can decide for yourself what this could mean. “If you were to see Daredevil in upcoming things, Charlie Cox, yes, would be the actor playing Daredevil. Where we see that, how we see that, when we see that, remains to be seen.” As I said above, Charlie Cox has yet to be officially cast as Daredevil in any upcoming projects, that said though, there are a few different spots where he could re-emerge within what is currently taking place in the MCU. It has been heavily rumoured, (and backed up by a leaked photo,) that Charlie Cox will appear in Spider-Man: No Way Home as Matt Murdock. The rumour goes that after the film opens with Peter Parker being wanted for the murder of Mysterio, Matt Murdock will be the lawyer brought in to clear his name. We won’t know until next week whether or not he will appear as Daredevil in the upcoming Spidey sequel or just as Matt Murdock, though I’d say it is pretty certain that he will indeed show up in some form. Over on Disney+, the upcoming She-Hulk series centres around Jennifer Walters, who just happens to work as a lawyer in her day job. Could we see the two cross paths in the courtroom at some point? Hawkeye is also currently streaming to the platform every Wednesday and the previous episodes have hinted that The Kingpin could be making an appearance in a later episode. If Kingpin does indeed show up, does that mean we could also be getting an appearance from The Devil Of Hell’s Kitchen? As is the case with Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio has not officially been cast in any upcoming MCU properties at the time of writing. That said, we can presume that if Cox will remain as the MCU’s version of Daredevil, then D’Onofrio will more than likely remain the MCU’s version of Kingpin. Hawkeye is certainly dropping a lot of hints towards Kingpin and at this point, if he doesn’t show up, then a lot of people are going to be left disappointed. So with all of that being said, what do you make of Feige putting rumours and worries to rest regarding the future of Daredevil within the MCU? Are you excited to see the character onscreen again? Let us know in the comments section down below.

Review – Rick And Morty

6th September 2021

Review – Rick And Morty Directed by: Wesley Archer & Others Written by: Dan Harmon & Others Produced by: Dan Harmon & Others Starring: Justin Roiland, Chris Parnell & Sarah Chalke Release Date: 2013 – Present Introduction Going back to review Rick and Morty as a whole is an interesting challenge in 2021. The show has went from being a small, fairly obscure cartoon to a behemoth of pop-culture in recent years. This has brought with it everything from an odd appearance from the title in the recent Space Jam 2 movie, to strange toxic fan-boys harassing fast-food workers over limited edition sachets of sauce. With all of that in mind, I decided to go back and watch the entire series all the way through to the end of Season 5 from the very beginning in preparation for this review and base my thoughts on that experience alone. This should hopefully mean that an unbiased review should follow below, critiquing the show itself and not all of the tertiary stuff surrounding it. The Universe Is A Crazy And Chaotic Place… Back when it first aired in 2013, Rick & Morty totally flew under the radar for me. I only first heard of it months after it was on the air, then all of a sudden almost every podcast and youtuber that I subscribe to were recommending it. Though by the time that I was recommended it, I was aware it was an Adult Swim show, so I assumed each episode would only be around six or seven minutes long and put it on the backburner. Eventually came a day where I had ran out of things to watch and so I decided to give it a shot. Whilst I didn’t fall in love with it immediately, it did hook me right away and I was pleased to learn each episode was 20 minutes long. Because the episodes are so short, I decided to watch a few episodes in a row and by the time I had finished watching Anatomy Park, the third episode of the first season, I realised how great this show was. The Good The combination of totally off the wall writing and dry wit is a tried and tested formula at this point, but it really works in the context of this show. The character dynamics, the on-point comedic timing of the cast and the ad-libbed feel of a lot of the dialogue are all elements that really tie together to make the show as entertaining as it is. Going back and re-watching the earlier seasons was hugely enjoyable, as a lot of my favourite episodes are amongst the earlier seasons. These include; M Night Shamaliens, where Rick, Morty and Gerry are stuck in a simulation of the real world and Gerry thinks he is having the greatest day of his life. Rick Potion No.9, where said potion makes everybody fall in love with Morty, then transforms them into grotesque monsters, leading our protagonists to simply leave that reality behind and move into a fresh one. Raising Gazorpazorp, where Morty goes through fatherhood in the space of a day. And Mortynight Run, where they leave Gerry in a nursing home full of other Gerrys. The animation can seem initially jarring top casual viewers as it employs such an odd style. However, by a few episodes in, it becomes clear that this animation is to a high standard, it just follows a fairly odd art odd style. The voice acting also seems somewhat amateur upon first listen, but as the show goes on and you get to know the characters and the world, the voice acting actually works perfectly in unison with the way show’s writing. The Bad The show’s biggest pitfall is that the whacky novelty and shock value of a lot of the earlier season’s charm wears off by seasons 3-5. The show does try to one-up itself every now and again, but eventually that starts to feel pretty forced too. Seeing the sheer insanity and traumatisation that Rick exposes his grandchildren to, only to then brush it off as if it is totally normal is funny for the first ten times, after that it becomes trite and overdone. Gerry and Beth’s broken marriage is the source of a lot of great humour in the first few seasons, but by season 4-5 it seems played out and tiresome. Even Gerry’s exceptional mediocrity and impressive amount of general naivety is starting to wear thin by the end of season 5. Summary There isn’t too much more to say and the show doesn’t have a great deal of negative qualities, other than being too much of a good thing. That said though, it is hard to deny the statues that Rick and Morty has earned as a phenomenon of pop culture and one of the best animated shows of the last decade.
