Sony\u2019s Spider-Verse sequel has been all over the place recently. It had a brief stint at Netflix before heading to Disney+, and now the animated hit is finding a new home on HBO Max. Taking place right after Into the Spider-Verse, the sequel introduces us and Miles to a whole host of Spidey variants. With a compelling story and one of the coolest animation styles, it’s no surprise that the Spider-erse movies quickly became some of our favorite Spider-Man movies of all time. <\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n

\u2018Highlight\u2019 might be a stretch for a movie we gave a 3\/10, but doesn\u2019t that make you at least a little bit curious? In the words of Tina Fey, “you\u2019ll have to act surprised” when it takes the turn you’d expect, but compared to previous works, this one\u2019s more of a music video than anything. Especially thanks to the Charli XCX soundtrack. It also happens to be landing on HBO Max at the same time as Fennell\u2019s previous film, Saltburn, which we had significantly better things to say about. <\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n

Based on an ongoing deal with U-NEXT, HBO Max will have the exclusive international streaming rights to this samurai drama based on the Chiruran: Shinsengumi Requiem manga. The series will follow the titular Shinsengumi, a band of samurai that defended Kyoto during the final Japanese shogunate, in a story of competing ideals and loyalties. I have a lot of faith in this one, particularly as its from the same studio as the gnarly (in a good way) Alice in Borderland. <\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n
