The final sunset of 2024 heralds a new dawn in showbiz. With 2025’s entertainment preview promising a year of unparalleled excitement, a savvy critic’s predictions have sent shockwaves through the internet. In a town where speculation is the currency, this preview has addressed the burning questions on everyone’s mind. From Taylor Swift’s romantic rumors to the Man of Steel’s future, the assumptions have ignited a firestorm of fascination, and the digital skies are about to get very interesting.

Writer and critic David Hering recently took to X to share his own “cultural predictions for 2025,” addressing every forthcoming possibility with a New Year’s twist. Hering’s crystal ball reveals a fairytale finale for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce in a headline-grabbing engagement. But his "insufferable Superman" scoop has the internet flying as speculation swirls around Henry Cavill’s super-successor. However, these two are just the tip of the iceberg of the cultural milestone Hering expects to take the Internet by storm.

David Hering on X assumes Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey will be a two-part film. Speaking of the Oscar-winner, the critic speculates the upcoming award season will see Anora and Brutalist share Oscars with an “insufferable” discourse in the making for the latter. On the musical front, Hering prophecies Wicked to win in the Best Song category, a new Radiohead and Joanna Newsom album and tour. Additionally, he also foresees the potential of Paramount + merge.

Though David Hering’s assumptions were his own, scattering across the showbiz spectrum, they sparked a chain reaction, igniting the curiosity of fans and putting their questioning minds into overdrive. 

Though there are a few more days until 2025 kick-starts in full swing, with Superman already on a flight to go down in history, fans were already buckling their belts for a super ride next year. However, with Taylor Swift’s engagement speculation followed by countless theories directing showbiz into a cultural extravaganza, safe to say that fans are now craving for more.

While fans are particularly on edge with the speculations about Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, the fact it is scheduled for a release in 2026 sparks concern.

On the flip side, netizens are also equally curious if more decent discourses will make a way in 2025, with some hoping for more information in the first quarter. Meanwhile, his speculations about Mickey 17 met some disagreements. Although fans have not inherently shown opposition considering the unpredictable nature of the entertainment capital, only 2025 will pinpoint if the predictions hit the bull’s eye.
