Gorr meets Thor in new Love & Thunder trailer and poster

by

“From dad bod to god bod.” The new trailer just dropped from Mount Olympus itself, so I think we can blame Zeus, played by Russell Crowe (and thank you Zeus for that One Perfect Shot). In the first trailer we didn’t see Gorr but we do now, and he’s a very recognisable Christian Bale, despite… Gorr meets Thor in new Love & Thunder trailer and poster Read More

In the snowy mountains of Siberia, Sonic and Tails follow Longclaw’s… Sonic The Hedgehog 2 ending: all’s well that ends well Read More

We’re in the pink at this new Barbie image
