Thanos’ Reign of Terror Has Reached Reddit

Dread him, run from him, you cannot escape him.

Just when you thought it was safe to get back on the Internet, the Mad Titan paid reddit a visit and continued his quest to eliminate half of the universe’s population. This time, however, he was preaching to the choir when he told his victims his nefarious plan.

The victim planet was no planet at all, but a subreddit: r/ThanosDidNothingWrong...

Logan Writer/Director James Mangold Sends Message to Toxic Fandoms on Twitter

The greatest thing about the movie industry is the passion that its diverse stories instill in fans. From Star Wars and the MCU to Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings, the rich universes created by writers and filmmakers can keep the fire of fandom blazing for decades. Sometimes, however, that passion is misdirected into anger and backlash towards creatives who have different visions for a series than some fans do...

New Image From The Predator Reveals Biggest, Meanest Alien Monster Yet

In Shane Black’s upcoming The Predator, it turns out the classic, dreadlock-wearing alien monster has taken on a new form. Granted, the iconic dreads and overall look remain somewhat the same, but the new monster is much bigger, so much so that in the last trailer we saw it tear a regular-sized predator to shreds. Now Empire Magazine has the first good look at the new beast, and it’s pretty spectacular...

Witness the Madness of the Court in Debut Trailer for The Favourite

Forget the Mad King of Game of Thrones and The Crown’s stalwart Elizabeth II. There’s new royalty in town, and she’s losing her mind and having a splendid time doing it in the first teaser trailer for The Favourite.

During one of the numerous wars between England and France, Olivia Colman plays Queen Anne, an unstable matriarch whose court looks as insane as she may be turning. Her world, as depicted by The Lobster and The Killing of a Sacred Deer director Yorgos Lanthimos,...

Kevin Feige Reveals Captain Marvel Will Use Digital De-Aging for Familiar Characters

Captain Marvel will finally introduce us to Brie Larson as Carol Danvers. She’s one of the most exciting new additions to the MCU on the horizon, but she’ll share the screen with some familiar faces. Captain Marvel is set in the 1990s allowing for S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) to appear in the film nearly 20 years prior to Loki killing Coulson in The Avengers...

Meet the Mission: Impossible – Fallout Characters in New Behind the Scenes Clip

The more I see of Henry Cavill’s menacing August Walker and his famed mustache, the more I’d rather be jumping out of a window with Tom Cruise than facing him in hand-to-hand combat.

With less than three weeks until Cruise’s sixth Mission: Impossible movie drops, that mustache—I mean man—is becoming a bit less mysterious. In a new behind the scenes featurette, Cavill and other big names behind the project introduce their characters and size up the conflicts that are bound to arise when they’re all thrown together...

Brie Larson Shares Photo From Final Day of Filming on Captain Marvel

The last time we got a look at anything Captain Marvel related, it was during that epic, heartbreaking post credits scene in Avengers: Infinity War. You remember the moment, arguably the most haunting introduction of a superhero in Marvel history. While we won’t know for sure if Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel can raise the dead and save the world from Thanos in Avengers 4 until May 3, 2019, we will be seeing Larson’s embodiment of Marvel’s most potent superhero sooner than that. ...

Keri Russell Headed to a Galaxy Far, Far Away for Star Wars: Episode IX

Keri Russell was looking for work after her mega-hit show, The Americans, wrapped this spring. Turns out she didn’t have to wait too long for the next great gig. Variety reports that Russell has signed onto Star Wars: Episode IX.

Star Wars has gotten into the habit of snapping up some of our favorite leading ladies. Lupita Nyong’o played the delightfully eccentric Maz Kanata in The Force Awakens...

The Meg Sinks Its Teeth Into Everything in Sight in New Clip

If your weekend plans include a visit to the beach, this new teaser for The Meg might make you think about relocating your summer fun to dry land. The first trailer lightened things up with some laughs, but there’s no relief here. Just relentless pursuit from the bloodthirsty prehistoric shark.

The short spot is low on plot but filled with action. As the super shark begins to attack, the teaser suggests the best way to avoid becoming an ocean snack is to “swim faster.” I am admittedly not a marine biologist,...

Sorry to Bother You’s Costume Designer Deirdra Govan’s Vintage Vision

Boots Riley’s Sorry to Bother You is a revelation. It’s usually a cliché to say “you won’t see another film like it this year,” but you won’t see another film like it this year. Or next year. Or, likely, the year after that. There’s a reason Sorry to Bother You took years to make, even though everyone who read the script fell in love with it—when you go this far afield from what people expect,...

Ant-Man and the Wasp‘s Costume Designer Explains Insect Couture

British costume designer Louise Frogley spent the first 35 years of her career focused on Steven Soderbergh and George Clooney movies like Traffic and Good Night, and Good Luck. In 2013 she got her first taste of the Marvel Cinematic Universe via Iron Man 3, followed by the re-booted Spider-Man: Homecoming. Now she’s taken on the skin-tight couture featured in Ant-Man and The Wasp. “When you design costumes for a Marvel movie It’s very technical,...

Jennifer Morrison On How Acting Prepared Her for Her Moving Directorial Debut Sun Dogs

Jennifer Morrison has created some of the most lovable characters on film. Dr. Allison Cameron in House, Emma Swan in Once Upon a Time, and Winona Kirk in Star Trek are all strong and captivating women we love to watch on screen. Now, Morrison is shaping compelling new characters from behind the lens in her feature film directorial debut Sun Dogs.

Now on Netflix, Sun Dogs follows Ned Chipley (Michael Angarano) in his misguided attempts to become a national hero...

Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon Make a Surprising Getaway in The Spy Who Dumped Me Clip

Any movie starring Kate McKinnon has “hidden summer gem” written all over it. We were excited when the trailer for The Spy Who Dumped Me dropped this spring. Now a new clip gives us an amusing amuse bouche of the kind of funny we’ll be seeing. Basically, it’s really relatable characters in unrelatable situations. (Watch out, this clip is NSFW. Or, at least put your headphones in.)

James Bond or Ethan Hunt might have a crazy trick up their sleeve to evade their villainous foes,...

Ant-Man and the Wasp Show Off Their Powers in New Featurette

Superhero films are inherently a little goofy. Adults wearing costumes could easily be laughable, but it’s a central point to Ant-Man and the Wasp as the suits are what allows them to fight crime. It is a wackier premise than most, but somehow, they seem to tap into that Marvel magic to make it totally fun. Being able to shrink to the size of an insect doesn’t seem as useful as super strength or an obedient hammer. Yet,...

Writer/Director Boots Riley on his Staggeringly Original Sorry to Bother You

Sorry To Bother You is coming to a theater near you, courtesy of Annapurna Pictures, after being one of the most buzzed about films shown at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.

The directorial debut from Boots Riley, articulate troublemaker and frontman for the band The Coup, has had a bumpy but fascinating road making it to the screen. This satiric, decidedly trippy film is about a young, seemingly malleable telemarketer named Cassius Green (Lakeith Stanfield) and his girlfriend,...

Jimi Hendrix-Style Cello Hybrid Defines Sicario: Day of the Soldado‘s Brooding Score

Icelandic musician Hildur Guðnadóttir was all over the first Sicario movie: She played the cello throughout the Oscar-nominated score written by her longtime collaborator Jóhann Jóhannsson. He died suddenly this winter. For the sequel Sicario: Day of the Soldado, Guðnadóttir scored the picture herself, but this time around, she cranked up the sense of menace by playing a one-of-a-kind instrument dubbed the “dorophone.” “It’s based on a cello, and basically this electro-acoustic feedback monster which has really become main instrument these days,”...

How Director Kevin Macdonald Uncovered Bombshell Allegations in his Whitney Houston Doc

Before he shot Whitney, Scottish documentarian Kevin Macdonald did not consider himself a particularly avid Whitney Houston fan. The Oscar-winning director (One Day in September) preferred The Clash back in the day when Houston dominated pop music with her unmatched vocal power. “I was not into that kind of mainstream poppiness,” he says. “At the time you couldn’t avoid her music, but it was kind of unhip to like Whitney Houston.”...

Meet Debut Director Boots Riley in New Sorry to Bother You Featurette

Sorry to Bother You, the directorial debut from hip-hop artist Boots Riley, has had comedy fans buzzing since its screening at January’s Sundance Film Festival. The movie follows a telemarketer played by Lakeith Stanfield (Get Out, Atlanta) who stumbles upon his key to success in the corporate world: his perfect-for-sales “white voice,” which is comically dubbed over Stanfield’s own voice by David Cross. Tessa Thompson (Westworld,...

New A-Force Fan Art Boasts the MCU’s Most Powerful Women

Even if Thanos wiped out every single male character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we’d still be in good hands.

Meeting the rising demand for female-driven narratives, Marvel Comics introduced the A-Force in 2015. The all-female team of Avengers debuted in the Secret Wars storyline and, sadly, only lasted a year and some months due to poor sales. But just because the idea didn’t flourish in the comics world doesn’t mean it couldn’t in the MCU,...
