Just how powerful are the ten rings? In a new video released by Marvel, the power of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings titular magical trinkets are said to be more potent than any force in the universe. When this statement is made by Michelle Yeoh’s Ying Nan, who do we see? The assorted Avengers, including one very ticked off Hulk, making plain just how much power the MCU’s newest member,

Chloé Zhao’s “Eternals” Will Introduce A Brand New Mythology Into the MCU

Yesterday Marvel Studios released the final trailer for Oscar-winner Chloé Zhao’s first-ever MCU film Eternals, and it was as sweeping, lush, and epic as we’d hoped. It also revealed quite a bit more of the film’s plot than we’ve gotten before.

The film’s titular superheroes, the Eternals, came to Earth some 7,000 years ago to protect the planet from a vicious threat—the Deviants. Eternals promises to expand the MCU in ways no other Phase 4 film will because its central characters have been so outside the MCU.

“Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings” Reveals New Track From Swae Lee

We’ve already heard how seriously good director Destin Daniel Cretton’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of The Ten Rings is, and one of the many facets of the film the critics called out for praise is the film’s soundtrack. In fact, time and time again critics wrote that not since Ryan Coogler’s 2018 game-changer Black Panther has an MCU film had this killer of a soundtrack. Now, Marvel Studios has revealed another song from Cretton’s epic,

New “Candyman” Video Puts The Focus On The Art Behind the Horror

“The art within Candyman is definitely about devolution to mirror his psychological descent,” says co-writer and director Nia DaCosta at the top of this new video. DaCosta’s film, co-written with Jordan Peele, is centered on Yahya Abdul-Mateen II’s Anthony McCoy, a talented artist looking for inspiration. This search will lead him to some seriously dark places. McCoy, along with his girlfriend Brianna (If Beale Street Could Talk‘s Teyonah Parris),

Anthony Mackie is Suiting Up For “Captain America” 4

Anthony Mackie is picking up the shield again, as we hoped (and expected) he would. The newly minted Captain America, fresh from taking on the mantle of Cap in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, is officially returning to the role for Captain America 4. What’s more, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier creator Malcolm Spellman is co-writing the script.

Watch the Stunning Final Trailer For Marvel’s “Eternals”

And now we finally have our first really good look at Chloé Zhao‘s Eternals. Marvel Studios has just released the final trailer for Zhao’s first MCU film, and it’s unsurprising that it looks ravishing—Zhao has made her name, in part, by creating films that are rich in visual splendor as they are in character depth and nuance. But the final trailer offers more than just a good look, 

“Fast & Furious 10” Will Roar Into Theaters in April 2023

The franchise does not appear to be slowing down.

After F9 helped jumpstart the theatrical box office this summer with a big haul both domestically and internationally, it should surprise absolutely no one that F10 is in the works. Entertainment Weekly broke the news about the release date, revealing that Fast & Furious 10 is set to roar into theaters on April 7,

Denis Villeneuve Writing Script For “Dune 2” & Zendaya Will Star

Writer/director Denis Villeneuve’s Dune might not have even hit theaters yet, but that hasn’t stopped him from getting to work on the sequel. Villeneuve’s long-awaited adaptation of Frank. Herbert’s colossal, best-selling sci-fi novel is slated to finally bow this October, after making its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival next month. (Not for nothing, fellow filmmaker and Venice juror Chloé Zhao has already seen it and was blown away.) Villeneuve has long made it clear that he had no intention of trying to capture the immensity of Herbert’s vision in a single film,

An Iconic Batman Returns: Michael Keaton on Picking Up The Cape & Cowl

“Frankly, in the back of my head, I always thought, ‘I bet I could go back and nail [Batman].’”

This is what Michael Keaton tells The Hollywood Reporter in a new feature profile, reflecting on the character that turned him into a massive star in 1989. Keaton first played the Caped Crusader in Tim Burton’s game-changing Batman, which reignited audiences love for the larger-than-life superheroes that have now come to dominate pop culture again.

First “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” Social Reactions Are Raves

The first reactions to director Destin Daniel Cretton’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings are making the rounds on social media, and they are going to get you hype. Marvel’s first-ever Asian superhero was always in good hands with a director of Cretton’s ability and a star, in Simu Liu, with charisma to spare. Yet it’s still exciting to see these rave mini-reviews rolling in. Quite a few folks are saying Shang-Chi has the best fight sequences of any Marvel movie,

Go Inside “Candyman” With Writer/Director Nia DaCosta and Co-Writer/Producer Jordan Peele

“I’ve always been fascinated with urban legends,” Candyman co-writer and producer Jordan Peele says at the top of this new behind-the-scenes video released by Universal Pictures. “Candyman,” Peele continues, “is the patron saint of the urban legend.” Peele co-wrote the script with rising star Nia DaCosta, who directs the film. DaCosta says that while growing up, Candyman wasn’t just attached to the 1992 film from director Bernard Rose,

How Underwater Cinematographer Ian Seabrook Got The Shots in “Jungle Cruise”

Disney’s latest blockbuster based on a ride, director Jaume Collet-Serra’s Jungle Cruise, is a banter-filled romp down the Amazon. Blue-blooded adventurer Lily (Emily Blunt) drags her fusspot brother, MacGregor (Jack Whitehall), to South America in pursuit of the petals of an all-powerful healing tree. Their guiding trinket is an arrowhead, pilfered with great difficulty from a retrograde London men’s scientific society. Upon landing on the other side of the world, the pair wind up in the hands of riverboat captain Frank (Dwayne Johnson),

“Free Guy” Co-Writer Zak Penn on The Art of the Re-Write

Zak Penn started his career on a high note when he sold his first script at age 23 and landed Arnold Schwarzenegger as the star. The thrill didn’t last long. Last Action Hero got re-written, Penn was relegated to a “story by” credit and the would-be blockbuster flopped at the box office.

But Penn survived the ignominy and 28-years later, he’s become an expert at crafting tentpole action epics like The Incredible Hulk,

Celebrate Friday the 13th With Every Kill in the Legendary Horror Franchise

A slightly grim way to celebrate Friday, Paramount Pictures! And yet, also an undeniably enjoyable one—the studio has released this nearly five-minute supercut of every single one of Jason’s kills in the eight original films in the Friday the 13th franchise. That’s a lot of killing, from the very beginning in director Sean S. Cunningham’s 1980 original when Camp Crystal was the chief location, all the way to New York City when Jason Vorhees does like the Muppets and takes Manhattan.

Taika Waititi Talks “Thor: Love and Thunder” & His “Star Wars” Movie

Taika Waititi has a tremendous amount going on at the moment. The writer/director/actor will next be seen in director Shawn Levy’s Free Guy, where he blessedly got a break from the writing and directing duties to simply co-star in the film with Ryan Reynolds and Jodie Comer. Waititi plays the film’s villain, a loathsome tech bro named Antoine. Not that acting isn’t work, of course, but when you consider what else Waititi has going on,

Chloé Zhao Has Seen “Dune” And Was “Blown Away”

It’s always special when one peer praises the work of another. Such is the case with Oscar-winning director Chloé Zhao, fresh off becoming the first woman of color to win a Best Director Oscar (and see her film, Nomadland, win Best Picture), praising fellow director Denis Villeneuve’s work in his upcoming film Dune.

“Mission: Impossible – 7” Team Celebrate First Assistant Director Mary Boulding

It’s pretty rare for a director, let alone the stars of a blockbuster film franchise, to take the time to celebrate the work of the first assistant director, but that’s precisely what happened with the Mission: Impossible – 7 team. Director Christopher McQuarrie gathered the film’s big stars to celebrate first AD Mary Boulding for “gracefully managing the impossible” during production for the franchise’s seventh installment. McQuarrie’s Instagram post places Boulding front and center,
