Bond 25 Story Details & Full Cast Revealed
We’ve finally got some details for Bond 25 (yet no title yet). The film’s producers filled us in on casting, story details, and filming locations during a live event from the Goldeneye estate in Jamaica. Yup, Goldeneye is, in fact, a real place—it’s where Ian Fleming wrote the James Bond novels. Today, it functioned as the epicenter of all things Bond 25.
Here’s what we’ve known for a while. Daniel Craig is, of course,...
Worlds Collide in two new Men in Black: International Trailers
If you’re going to reboot a franchise, it’s always a good idea to do so with two immensely talented, likable stars. Enter Thor: Ragnarok co-stars Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson. Their onscreen chemistry was one of the (many) reasons Taiki Waititi’s Ragnarok was the best Thor film and one of the funniest Marvel films ever. Now the two have traded battling aliens on distant planets for policing them right here at home...
It’s a Whole New World in Fresh Aladdin Spot
If you can watch this new Aladdin TV spot without breaking into song, you’re made of stouter stuff than we are. This fresh look at Guy Ritchie’s live-action remake delivers a snippet of the classic song “A Whole New World,” making it very difficult (for some) to not join along. The spot also illuminates Naomi Scott’s stellar vocal chops.
We’ve also got another look at Will Smith’s Genie as he tries to refashion—quite literally—Aladdin (Mena Massoud) into a prince...
Avengers: Endgame Reviews Tout Blockbuster for the Ages
Yesterday we shared the initial—and highly emotional—reactions to Avengers: Endgame. The review embargo has now been lifted, folks. This means we can now gauge the full breadth of what critics are saying. The critical consensus seems to be this: Avengers: Endgame pulls off the seemingly impossible task of delivering an immensely satisfying capstone to Marvel’s decade-long, 22-film cinematic universe. Emotional, epic and ambitious, many are calling Endgame the best Marvel movie ever...
Avengers: Endgame Talent on Their Road to This Epic Milestone
To celebrate the final chapter of their game-changing superhero saga that launched 11 years ago, stars aligned in downtown Los Angeles earlier this month to hang out, reminisce and talk up Avengers: Endgame. Hosted by Iron Man director Jon Favreau, the spoiler-free press conference included Robert Downey Jr., Danai Gurira, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Karen Gillan, Don Cheadle, Mark Ruffalo, sibling directors Anthony Russo and Joe Russo plus Marvel Cinematic Universe puppet master Kevin Feige,...
The Final Godzilla: King of the Monsters Trailer is a Beast
Director Michael Dougherty’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters offers bigger, meaner monsters for the single price of a movie ticket. Gareth Edwards reintroduced the king of the monsters to the big screen in 2014’s Godzilla, which also had a bunch of other monsters in it. Yet Edwards’ film was more of a gorgeously rendered and evocatively staged epic, whereas Doughtery’s movie feels like a full blown monster mash. The final trailer suggests that Dougherty and all involved have let the titular Titans loose in every possible way...
It’s Will Smith vs. Will Smith in First Gemini Man Trailer
Is there anyone who gives you a harder time than yourself? Are you not your own biggest enemy? These questions and more might spring to mind when you check out the first trailer for Ang Lee‘s Gemini Man. The film features two Will Smith’s for the price of one. A younger version of Smith, de-aged, is sent after the older version to take him out. The de-aging process has been growing in leaps and bounds lately,...
First Reactions to Avengers: Endgame Hype Epic, Emotional Powerhouse
We’ve waited a year for the surviving members of the Avengers to have another crack at Thanos after the events in Infinity War. That time has finally come. Avengers: Endgame has already had its world premiere, and the early reactions are pouring in. It turns out that the hugely emotional final trailer was a solid indicator of how the whole film feels. After a decade and 21 films worth of build-up, the first reactions to Endgame speak to a thrilling,...

Spider-Man: Far From Home Will end Marvel’s Phase 3
You’d be forgiven for assuming that Avengers: Endgame would be the official end to Marvel’s Phase 3. The upcoming epic conclusion to the Avengers’ years-in-the-making battle with Thanos seems like the obvious capper to this Marvel phase. Yet, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige has revealed this isn’t the case. The final film in Phase 3 is Jon Watts’ Spider-Man: Far From Home.
Newsweek reported that Feige revealed the news at a press event for Endgame in Shanghai...
These 15 New Avengers: Endgame Photos Sizzle
We are now officially a week away from Avengers: Endgame. Marvel has just released a big old batch of new photos, highlighting our survivors’ new suits, new alliances, and old bonds. Nebula (Karen Gillan) and War Machine (Don Cheadle)? Yeah, we’ll take it. Especially Rhodey’s cool camo-suit. Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) with a fresh new haircut and that full sleeve tattoo? You do you, Clint!
The marketing campaign for the epic conclusion to a decade’s worth of MCU films has picked up speed...
New Avengers: Endgame Spot Reveals a Possible Mistake by Thanos
Stop reading right now if you want to know as little as possible about Avengers: Endgame. We are well aware that every new trailer and TV spot could potentially give you more information than you really want. Then again, Marvel is expert at giving you bits and pieces to satisfy your craving without really telling you much of anything.
Still here? Great, let’s take a look at the new TV spot,...
Idris Elba is Black Superman in new Hobbs & Shaw Trailer
A brand new trailer for Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw is here to fire you up on a Thursday morning. The new look is as joyously super-charged as you could hope for. Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham are back as the stacked and jacked member of America’s Diplomatic Security Service and the former British military elite operative respectively. These iconic frenemies are forced to team up when a villain comes along who might be tougher than both of them...
John Cena up for Role in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad
The cast for James Gunn‘s The Suicide Squad is starting to shape up. When news broke that Will Smith wouldn’t be reprising his role as Deadshot, Suicide Squad fans were understandably concerned. Then we found out that Idris Elba would be taking over the role, and all seemed right in the world. What’s more, Elba’s version of Deadshot would be a more conflicted sort, which is saying something...
Star Wars Video Game Knights of the Old Republic to be Adapted
Oh, the bounty the Star Wars Celebration brings each year. We were as parched as the desert biome of Jakku for any information surrounding J.J. Abrams’ upcoming Star Wars: Episode IX until the celebration kicked off in Chicago on April 11. In short order, we found out a bunch. First, that title is The Rise of Skywalker (!!). Then we got our first look at the film, which included a shocking reveal at the very end...
The Final Trailer for Dark Phoenix Gets Cosmic
“Ladies and gentleman of NASA, this is Charles Xavier. Help is on the way.”
While the X-Men have always done their level best to help humanity, the results rarely work in their favor. They’re still mistrusted, loathed and feared by millions. They’re forever battling a war of perceptions, if not actual wars —often against fellow mutants led by Magneto (Michael Fassbender). And now, in the case of Dark Phoenix, their best-laid plans to help save a crew of astronauts results in a game-changing metamorphosis for one of their own...
Rey’s Parents Will be Revealed in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
The reveal that Rey (Daisy Ridley)’s parents were nobodies in Rian Johnson’s The Last Jedi was astonishing. Some fans were apocalyptic (for muddled reasons, if you ask me), while we found the twist satisfying in all the right ways. It meant that her uniqueness and abilities weren’t born from some royal, Jedi lineage. The film positioned her strength of character and emerging abilities as a product of who she was,...
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker‘s Ending Tweaked During Production
We waited a long time to find out anything about Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. We were parsing comments made by J.J. Abrams around his initial hesitation about rejoining the franchise looking for clues. Then, tanks to the Star Wars Celebration, we now have a bounty of details to sift through. There is, of course, that enigmatic title. And all the juicy details revealed during that thrilling teaser. There’s the unexpected return of Emperor Palpatine...
The Final Avengers: Endgame Trailer is Emotional & Epic
“Heroes. It’s an old fashioned notion.”
These words come from the late Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), who perished in the post-credits scene in Avengers: Infinity War in the midst of sending one very important message. The final trailer for Avengers: Endgame is a chills-inducing epic for any fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It connects the marquee films in the MCU’s decade-long, 22-film arc, building to the emotional—and for some characters possibly final—fight of their lives...
Emperor Palpatine’s Mysterious Return in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
The most shocking revelation in the trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker came at the very end. While we were in the midst of digesting the title (!!) and the shots of Rey flipping backward over Kylo Ren’s customized TIE-Fighter, the trailer ended with a very familiar laugh—that of Emperor Palpatine. The long-dead–or so we thought—Palpatine was last seen, chronologically speaking, getting thrown down a shaft to his by Darth Vader in Return of the Jedi. ...
