NYCC: A New Mortal Engines Trailer Reveals a Surprising Connection Between Hester and Valentine

A new Mortal Engines trailer dropped today at New York Comic Con and it gives us a look at what the world was like before civilization collapsed. Oceans were roaring and crystal blue, sunlight was golden and flowers grew. People even flew in personal aircraft and were free to roam about the land. It’s a stark contrast to the industrial metal cities that emerged.

Hester Shaw (Hera Hilmar) and her mother, Pandora (Caren Pistorius), appear to have once been friendly with the film’s villain,...

AMC Has Plans to Turn The Walking Dead Into a Major Franchise

The Walking Dead is as difficult to put down as the walkers themselves. In fact, it seems to be spreading. Andrew Lincoln is exiting the original series, but that still isn’t the kill shot that will put this franchise down. And why should it? So many strong characters have emerged over the course of the series. Rick would never have made it this far without Michonne (Danai Gurira), Daryl (Norman Reedus), Maggie (Lauren Cohan) or Carol (Melissa McBride)...

More Lethal Than Thanos? The Super Villain Galactus Could Come to the MCU

One of these villains can make Thanos look like a pre-injection Steve Rogers.

With Disney’s pending acquisition of 21st Century Fox, we could finally have the IP union we’ve been craving for over a decade. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a property of Disney, but Fox has long held on to its coveted Marvel properties like X-Men and the Fantastic Four. Fox also owns a multitude of other characters and story arcs from the Marvel comics (including a mouthy fellow by the name of Deadpool),...

SDCC 2018: Location Managers Discuss How They Find the Perfect Spot to Film

They found Jumanji in Hawaii, Skull Island in Vietnam, Hogwarts in England, and Wakanda in South Africa.  The script calls for a 1970’s gas station or a Jane Austen-era house of an earl or the topography of another planet? Location scouts are the visual artists and logistical wizards who find the places that you see on the screen and oversee all of the details to make sure the crew has what they need and that, like Boy Scouts, they leave the place better than they found it...

Wasp and Ghost Square Off in New Ant-Man and the Wasp Clip

The power of Marvel’s newest female forces is on full display as the countdown to release hits four days.

Suggestions that the MCU’s twentieth feature, Ant-Man and the Wasp, will place a heavy emphasis on the latter character have been around since the film’s announcement.

Samuel L. Jackson Teases Captain Marvel‘s Faux Hawk

There are few heads of hair that bring out the super fan than Captain Marvel’s mohawk. You could argue that Thor’s locks were the most famous in the Marvel canon, but that was before we heard Captain Marvel was getting her own film. Once Marvel revealed they were giving Captain Marvel her own movie, and then cast the great Brie Larson, the next logical question was whether she’d be rocking one of the coolest looks we’ve ever seen on a superhero...

Daria Reboot Among Planned Programs for MTV Studios Launch

Sometimes, to make the present better, you have to go back in time. Which is exactly what MTV is doing with a planned Daria reboot.

In a world where some reboots can feel like cash grabs, Daria is a refreshing, if unexpected, title to bring back to life. The new Daria show, if picked up by a third party like Amazon, Hulu, or Netflix, will be joined by Aeon Flux and The Real World reboots...
