The new season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is set to feature some familiar faces from J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth mythology. The most recent trailer, unveiled at Comic-Con last month, showed off fan favorites such as the treelike Ents, the spider Shelob, and even a giant eagle. But as Entertainment Weekly learned as part of our exhaustive new cover story, season 2 will also explore aspects of Middle-earth that Tolkien left mysterious, such as the seven dwarven rings and the desert region of Rhûn.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Doomsday is nigh, and Marvel fans couldn’t be happier.

House of the Dragon is, aptly, about houses and dragons. Season 2 of the HBO series pitted Aegon and the Greens at King’s Landing against Rhaenyra and the Blacks at Dragonstone, and each side had to turn to the nuclear option: their dragons. Rhaenyra has plenty of dragons but a lack of riders (a problem she fixes over the course of Season 2), but the Greens have a lack of dragons themselves.

Danger thrives in the dark. Picture a lone alleyway at night or an attic with a burnt-out bulb. Horror has long relied on our fear of that which we can’t see, of what might be lurking in the shadows, which is what makes the absence of light such a natural incitement for dread. However, Robin Hardy’s The Wicker Man, set almost entirely during the daytime on the cheery, sun-dappled fictional Scottish island of Summerisle, concluded with the frightening revelation that evil could no more easily be detected under the harsh glare of the sun.

Warfare comes to humans on all fronts in the cinema, be it land, sea, air, or even outer space. Indeed, the quest for good to triumph over evil is not localized to terra firma. As citizens rally to defend their home worlds and freedom fighters rebel against totalitarian and restrictive regimes, sci-fi epics have given cinemagoers many impressive and dramatic extraterrestrial skirmishes over the years.

It’s only been a year since John Wick Chapter 4 hit theaters, but the demand for a fifth film remains high. Justifying another sequel for the franchise is tricky, however, since Chapter 4 seemed to be the end for Keanu Reeves’ Baba Yaga. The Wick team is reportedly working hard to find a loophole and bring Reeves back for one last ride, but until that happens, Lionsgate is looking to expand the world of Wick in any way it can.
