Since the first game premiered in 2014, The Last of Us has been one of the premiere gaming franchises. What's more, the franchise has translated well to the small screen, with an HBO adaptation that earned praise from both critics and fans.

As we get ready for a second season of the HBO series, which will adapt the more controversial The Last of Us: Part II, one thing fans of the franchise still wonder about is whether there will be any more games in this universe.

The 8 best Adrien Brody movies to watch, from Oscar winners to hidden gems

Oscar-worthy movies and plenty of Wes Anderson feature in his catalogue

Adrien Brody in The Brutalist

Adrien Brody's career is one of the more interesting roller coasters of the 21st century. After winning the Academy Award for Best Actor at a record-breaking youthful age of 29, the Queens native was poised to dominate the decades of the 2000s and 2010s with his stylish charisma and measured approach to acting. Instead, Brody meandered through his 30s and 40s with a handful of solid to great performances without much fanfare or recognition.

If you have watched any Wes Anderson movies in the last 20 years, you would have likely seen Brody appear in some capacity. And while Anderson's films fit Brody's persona on screen, they didn't allow him to capitalize on his superstar lead potential the way people expected. His most recent effort, The Brutalist, earned him a second Academy Award for Best Actor. Only a small handful of legends have achieved this feat, such as Jack Nicholson, Sean Penn, and Tom Hanks. If you're looking to catch up on some of his other great works, we have you covered. These are the best Adrien Brody movies to watch right away.

Netflix stock is falling after forecasts show slower subscription growth

It's impossible to say how much of the stock's fall is attributable to subscriber forecasts

Netflix on a phone

The mightiest streamer of all is falling. Netflix stock dropped 8.5% on Thursday after forecasts suggested that its subscriber growth was slowing. This comes after 2024 saw record growth in the company's stock price as subscriptions soared following their crackdown on password sharing.

The tumult with Netflix's stock is also related to broader economic trends, as many stocks declined in reaction to President Trump's tariffs. Spotify (-7.4%), Warner Bros. Discovery (-6.4%), Roku (-6.4%), Disney (-3.6%), and Amazon (-3.7%) all saw their stock prices fall.
