. Every Streaming Cost Increase In 2026: TWO Price Hikes Already

Nerdist has launched its 2026 tracker for streaming service price hikes, noting that the industry is already off to a frustrating start[1]. Following 2025's total of six different price increases across various platforms, 2026 has already seen two major jumps by April[1]. On March 13, Prime Video raised the cost of its ad-free tier[1]. Shortly after, on March 26, Netflix increased costs across all of its subscription tiers[1]. The author points out that the Netflix price bump arrived with no added perks for subscribers and came just about one year after their last price hike.

The MCU X-MEN Director Reveals Which Comics Inspired Him

Longtime X-Men fans finally have a solid clue about the direction of Marvel Studios' highly anticipated X-Men reboot[2]. Director Jake Schreier (Thunderbolts*) recently revealed that his primary inspiration for the film is writer Chris Claremont's legendary 16-year run on Uncanny X-Men (1975 to 1991)[2]. Schreier shared this detail while confirming that writers Sonny Lee Sung Jin (Beef) and Joanna Calo (The Bear) are currently working on a draft of the screenplay[2]. Because Claremont's era defined the team's most popular dynamics, the article notes that fans should expect the MCU lineup to feature the core heroes from that run's peak—such as Cyclops, Phoenix, Wolverine, Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Kitty Pryde, and Rogue[2].

A24's 'The Invite' Trailer Starring Olivia Wilde and Seth Rogen

A24 has released the first official trailer for The Invite, a tense, dark comedy-thriller starring Olivia Wilde and Seth Rogen. The film follows a suburban married couple who receive a mysterious, highly exclusive dinner party invitation from their estranged, obscenely wealthy former friends. What begins as an awkward, passive-aggressive reunion quickly devolves into a surreal nightmare of escalating psychological games and class warfare. The trailer perfectly blends Rogen's signature deadpan comedic timing with Wilde's sharp dramatic edge, all wrapped in A24's trademark stylish, anxiety-inducing aesthetic.
