This was the weekend of Captain Marvel’s (Brie Larson) glorious debut, and if you’re anything like us, you were more than ready to meet her in all her heroic photon blasting glory. If you aren’t anything like us and wasted your whole weekend away without a single trip to Hala, stop reading now. We’re about to dive into information that is for S.H.I.E.L.D. eyes only – in other words, it’s about to get spoiler-ific. There was a major reveal after the credits rolled,...
Early Reactions for Shazam Are Electric
We might all be heading to see Captain Marvel this weekend, but she isn’t the only superhero people are talking about today. Billy Batson is merely a month away from transforming into Shazam and early reactions to the newest member of the DCEU are grade A.
Critics have been tweeting their praise for the teenage superhero as “pure of heart” and “an absolute delight.” With comic movie clashes getting bigger and sometimes scarier, Shazam is being teased as a family-friendly installment in the genre...
How They De-Aged Samuel L. Jackson & Clark Gregg in Captain Marvel
Almost as proof of Peter Allen’s lyric that “everything old is new again,” the 90’s-set Captain Marvel has fun not only giddily referencing contemporaneous culture, but even retconning the MCU a bit.
It starts with the current incarnation of Captain Marvel—the former Ms. Marvel, Carol Danvers—as played by Brie Larson. Our heroine falls to Earth and lands, in this case, smack dab in a Blockbuster video store.
In comments during a recent cast press conference,...
Samuel L. Jackson Addresses Why He Paged Captain Marvel So Late
Carol Danvers, where have you been all our lives? But, seriously. We could have used you before now. There have been some serious threats to the MCU, but by the time Thanos showed up and started scooping up Infinity Stones, we definitely could have used some backup.
Obviously, the Avengers do great work, but they weren’t enough to stop the baddest alien invader in the universe from destroying half of everything. There’s no shame in that...
The Creepiest Characters in Aquaman Are Getting Their Own Film
Aqua-mania is real. After eclipsing Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises as the highest-grossing DC Comics film in history, it’s clear the King of Atlantis is here to stay.
While supporting the Aquaman exhibit at Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood, producer Peter Safran divulged exciting information about The Trench, the scheduled Aquaman spinoff he is working on with director James Wan. The movie is reportedly taking place after the events of Aquaman,...
Idris Elba is Joining the Suicide Squad in a Familiar Role
What a time to be an Idris Elba fan – and really, aren’t we all? The Avengers: Infinity War star will be making the leap from one comic universe to another. After news broke earlier this week that Will Smith would not be reprising his role of Deadshot in Suicide Squad, THR has confirmed that Elba will be stepping into the assassin’s shoes.
Smith reportedly has too much on his plate to return for the Suicide Squad sequel,...
Watch the Trailer for Mindy Kaling’s Talk Show Laugher Late Night
Here is your first look at Mindy Kaling‘s film Late Night, one of the big hits at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. Amazon quickly scooped it up, and now it’s set for a summer release. Late Night is centered on Kaling’s Molly Patel, an aspiring comedy writer who lands what appears to be a dream job writing for late night television host Katherine Newbury (Emma Thompson). In this world, Newbury is the only female host in late-night television—and has been for 30-years...
The Russo Brothers Share a Tear Jerking Captain America Tribute Video
The fate of Captain America is one of Avengers: Endgame‘s most solemn questions. We’ve known for a long time that Chris Evans is hanging up the vibranium shield after the conclusion to the Russo Brothers two-part epic. The Russo’s themselves have equivocated about this fact, telling us that Evans might not be done with Cap after Endgame. This flies in the face of Evan’s own comments:
“Officially wrapped on Avengers 4,”...
Captain Marvel Directors Joined Forces With Avengers: Endgame Directors
The countdown to Captain Marvel finally concludes this week, when the superhero makes her solo debut on Friday. This won’t be Ms. Marvel’s only rodeo, however – she’ll meet with the remaining Avengers in Endgame, and the directors for both films got the chance to join forces behind the scenes.
Captain Marvel directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck sat down with ComicBook.com and discussed their collaboration with Joe and Anthony Russo in relation to Captain Marvel and her upcoming role in the sequel to 2018’s Infinity War...
Angelina Jolie’s Vengeful Fairy is Back in Maleficent: Mistress of Evil
She’s baaaaaaack. Disney has made it official: Maleficent 2 (now called Maleficent: Mistress of Evil) will be released this year. The return of Angelina Jolie‘s titular villain has been moved from May 2020 to October 18, 2019. We’ve been waiting to see the next step in Maleficent and Aurora (Elle Fanning)’s twisted relationship for five years. Jolie first donned the horns in Robert Stromberg’s 2014 film, which spun the classic Sleeping Beauty tale by giving us the point of view of the vengeful fairy who casts the spell on the infant princess...
Brie Larson Reveals Secrets of Training with the Air Force for Captain Marvel
With Brie Larson starring as Air Force pilot Carol Danvers in Captain Marvel, the actress is reporting for duty. She’s in the midst of attending various press conferences, screenings, and TV appearances including a stop by Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Appearing on the show just ahead of the world premiere of Captain Marvel, Larson discussed the time she spent with real Air Force pilots for her role in the film...
New Footage Highlights Dark Phoenix International Trailer
Last week’s Dark Phoenix trailer did something unexpected; it revealed the death of a major character. At least we were almost certain that the trailer showed Jennifer Lawrence’s Mystique dying. Then co-writer/director Simon Kinberg confirmed it.
We get new footage in this international trailer without any major characters shockingly dying on us. This gives us a bit more of the story, including Jessica Chastain’s mysterious evil mentor character. We get more of the space ship scene that was revealed at last year’s Comic-Con,...
Summer Festivals Will Never Seem the Same After This Midsommar Trailer
Thanks to Hereditary, I am still afraid that someone is floating in the corner of my room when I wake up in the night. It was the first movie that disturbed me on a visceral level as an adult. So, I am obviously ready to go back for seconds of whatever Ari Aster is serving up.
The next course he is dishing up is an unsettling cult nightmare called Midsommar...
Are Things as Happy-Go-Lucky for Shazam As They Appear in New Trailer?
Being super takes practice. In the latest trailer for Shazam, Billy Batson (Asher Angel) acquires his powers overnight, but it will take a lot longer to figure out how to use them.
We haven’t seen a trailer for the kid superhero movie since San Diego Comic Con last summer. The fun new look at the teenager transformation movie shows that being endowed with extraordinary abilities by a wizard doesn’t come with a handbook...
Watch Captain Marvel Kick Skrull Butt in new Clip
In just three days Captain Marvel will make her long-awaited big screen appearance. The excitement has been steadily building for Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck’s origin film, which stars Brie Larson as the human/Kree hybrid Carol Danvers. The 1990s setting, the fantastic cast (including a scene-stealing cat), and a bold, cosmic storyline are what the early buzz has been about. Earning major plaudits are Larson in the title role, her chemistry with Samuel L...
Samuel L. Jackson on his “Snack-Oriented” Captain Marvel Co-Star
The version of Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson, of course) you see in Captain Marvel is a younger, less cynical S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. It’s not just the fact that he’s still got two eyes and a lot less mileage on him—he also seems to love cats. Fury has to be pulled away from Carol Danvers’ cat Goose in one of the trailers, and he seems slightly heartbroken. We now know from early screenings that Goose is one of the film’s most beloved characters...
Writer/Director Anthony Maras on his Harrowing Debut Hotel Mumbai
For his debut feature, Hotel Mumbai, out March 22, Anthony Maras wore many hats: director, executive producer, and co-writer. The film chronicles the siege by terrorists at the upscale Taj Hotel in Mumbai in 2008 that took the lives of more than 160 people and injured countless others.
Maras conducted months of research to pen the script, which weaves a tapestry of stories set throughout the hotel. He also assembled an outstanding ensemble cast led by Dev Patel,...
What Happens After Avengers: Endgame?
Avengers: Endgame marks the end of Marvel’s Phase 3. The Russo Brothers’ epic hits theaters on April 26 and will conclude a 22-film arc that has revolved, in ways big and small, around Infinity Stones and the supervillain Thanos. New characters, new villains, and new talent in front of and behind the camera will usher in Phase 4. Here’s a look at what we know’s coming—and what we think we know—after Endgame...
Watch Ryan Reynolds Video Tribute to the Late, Great John Candy
If you’re a little too young to have seen John Candy in his prime, Ryan Reynolds is here to help. The late, great comedy legend passed away 25-years ago today, leaving behind a long list of iconic roles and hilarious films. Candy was also from Canada (Reynolds home country, of course), one of a long line of hilarious entertainers to emerge from the legendary Canadian sketch comedy series SCTV. He passed away on March 4, 1994, while working on the film Wagon’s East. ...
See More of Avengers: Endgame On an IMAX Screen
If you go to see Avengers: Endgame in a regular movie theater, you’ll be missing about a quarter of the movie. We aren’t talking time-wise, of course, but rather aspect ratio.
The last stand against Thanos was filmed on epic proportions. IMAX released a side by side video today of the first Endgame trailer illustrating how much more you’ll get on one of their screens. About 26% of the movie is cut off on top and bottom to fit standard movie screens and it really does make a difference...
