Black Panther Deleted Scene Shows a Touching Moment With a Young T’Challa
When you’re working with a great script and great actors, a director’s job is made much easier, with one caveat—you’re going to have to cut scenes you love. This was clearly the case for Ryan Coogler, Black Panther‘s co-writer and director. Earlier this week, we shared this moving deleted scene between Danai Gurira’s Okoye and Daniel Kaluuya’s W’Kabi, in which the married couple (which was revealed in the scene) were fighting about what to do after T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman)’s apparent death at the hands of Erik Killmonger (Michael B...
Celebrate Star Wars Day With These New Solo Images
Every May 4th we join in the global celebration of Star Wars day. Today, we get to do it in style—with new images from Ron Howard’s Solo: A Star Wars Story. There’s been a wonderful glut of Solo material this week, including this awesome video revealing how big of a diva Chewie is, Ron Howard giving Star Wars: A New Hope the Arrested Development treatment,...
Avengers: Infinity War: Did Thanos Kill You?
You’ve likely heard by now about the new website called “Did Thanos Kill Me?” It’s a simple question, one that’s (spoiler alert) very reasonable to ask after the events of Avengers: Infinity War, in which the Mad Titan successfully tracked down all of the Infinity Stones (in the process killing some of our favorite characters) and then killed half the universe. Did he kill you, too? You can find out here...
Avengers: Infinity War: We Need to Talk About the Hulk
So you’ve seen Avengers: Infinity War. Right? If you haven’t, spoiler alert. Just go ahead and stop reading. Still here? Great, because we need to talk about the Hulk. First, let’s reflect on this image that Marvel Studios provided during the run-up to the film:
You’ll see the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) joining his comrades in the battle of Wakanda against Thanos (Josh Brolin)’s army. Yet this scene never happened this way in the movie. Instead of the Hulk,...
Zazie Beetz’s Domino Dominates the First Deadpool 2 Clip
Yup, we were right—today really is Deadpool 2 day. We shared the new photos, we shared this insane Deadpool 2 music video featuring Celine Dion, and now we’re sharing the first clip from the film, which highlights newcomer Zazie Beetz as the luckiest new member of Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds)’s new X-Force.
Here’s the gist for you Deadpool 2 novices: the sequel is centered on Deadpool being prodded by Vanessa (Morena Baccarin) into protecting a mysterious kid named Russell (Julian Dennison) from Cable (Josh Brolin),...
An Anonymous Robin Hood Fights Corruption Up Close in First Trailer
Robin Hood eventually became an outlaw, stealing from the rich to give to the poor. A noble endeavor to be sure, but he had to start somewhere. The first trailer for Otto Bathurst’s Robin Hood origin story reveals the legend actually started his fight right under his enemy’s nose.
Taron Egerton plays Robin of Loxley, and aristocrat by day who fights corruption at night. He actually has close contact with the Sheriff of Nottingham (Ben Mendelsohn),...
Chewbacca’s Solo: A Star Wars Story Costars Reveal He’s Difficult to Work With
Some people, like Queen Celine, give the word ‘diva’ a good name. Others, not so much. Chewbacca seems to be running the set of Solo: A Star Wars Story and causing his costars grief.
The filmmakers are doubling down on treating Chewbacca as a real Wookie, although he is actually played by Joonas Suotamo. Recent posters of Han’s best bud did not credit the actor adding to Chewie’s mystique...
Super Friends (and Enemies) Highlight New Deadpool 2 Images
It appears to be Deadpool day. Earlier, we shared this no brainer collaboration between—wait for it—Celine Dion and Deadpool 2. This is the union of two megastars we’ve been waiting for. Okay, one megastar, and one, um, mouthy superhero. The music video debuted on Good Morning America, with Celine belting out her song “Ashes” while clips from Deadpool 2 play in slow motion...
This Dramatic New Deadpool 2 Song Will Tear Your Heart Apart
‘My Heart Will Go On’ is nothing to us now. Celine Dion has released her latest mega-hit single ‘Ashes’ and it is incredible. The power, the passion, the Deadpool in heels. You read that right. Dion has moved on from her definitive Titanic theme song to a new movie, Deadpool 2. And it is literally too good.
This combination is so so so wrong that it’s absolutely right. The music video for the new song debuted on Good Morning America today and it’s so bizarre we want to laugh...
Things Get Complicated for Anna Kendrick & Blake Lively in A Simple Favor Trailer

Lionsgate has delivered the first teaser trailer, showcasing the hugely talented duo of Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively.

Solo Director Ron Howard Gives Star Wars the Arrested Development Treatment
Ever since Ron Howard stepped in to direct Solo: A Star Wars Story, the affable veteran has proven time and time again to be the film’s best pitchman. Not only has he shared a ton of juicy tidbits during production, he’s now gifted us with this hilarious Arrested Development/Star Wars mash-up. In the Oscar-winning director’s long and varied career, when he turned up as the narrator on the beloved Arrested Development he captured a whole new generation of admirers...
Tour the Millennium Falcon With Donald Glover in new Solo: A Star Wars Story Featurette
The Millennium Falcon is making the rounds today. Earlier, we published this look at a new Solo: A Star Wars Story TV spot that was a great spotlight for the most iconic ship in the galaxy. Now, a new featurette featuring none other than Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover) himself takes you on the tour of the Corellian YT-1300f light freighter. Keep in mind, the Falcon was Lando‘s ship long before Han and Chewie made it into the most famous smuggling vessel in the galaxy...
John Boyega Drops a Hint About Finn’s Future in Star Wars: Episode IX
Two lines in an interview with John Boyega for Yahoo! give us one of the earliest clues we have about Star Wars: Episode IX. The finale of the Skywalker saga has yet to even being filming, but Boyega is already prepping for the role. According to Boyega, his character Finn will undergo a physical transformation for the next installment.
“I can’t wait to start shooting the next and final leg of the franchise,” Boyega told Yahoo!...
Watch this Incredibly Potent Deleted Black Panther Scene
One of the most complex relationships in Black Panther was mostly only hinted at. We’re not talking about the love between T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) and Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o), or the Cain and Able like fury between Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) and T’Challa. We’re talking about the relationship between Okoye (Danai Gurira) and W’Kabi (Daniel Kaluuya).
In a new deleted scene revealed by USA Today, co-writer and director Ryan Coogler explains that Okoye,...
Fresh Millennium Falcon Footage Highlights New Solo: A Star Wars Story TV Spot
Back in February we found out that Ron Howard’s Solo: A Star Wars Story would reveal a radically different Millennium Falcon. When we got our first peek at the Falcon in Solo teasers earlier this year, it looked sleeker than the “hunk of junk” we’d loved since 1977’s A New Hope. Our eyes weren’t deceiving us. Howard told Entertainment Weekly that there was a reason the most famous ship in the galaxy didn’t look quite the same,...
The Gang Goes in Search of a Villain in First Teen Titans GO! to the Movies Trailer
We all feel overlooked sometimes, but imagine being the only superhero in Hollywood without a movie. Such is life for the Teen Titans, and they’re on a mission to land a movie deal of their own. In an ironic twist, this is the plot of Teen Titans GO! to the Movies, the superhero sidekick’s big screen debut. The first trailer is here and it’s filled with comedic moments, if not so much crimefighting.
Robin (Scott Menville),...
Michael B. Jordan’s Failsafe Project Lands at Netflix
After the immensely long wait for Black Panther, Michael B. Jordan gave us the villain we all deserved. Erik Killmonger was powerful, ruthless, relentless, and his full body scars were intimidatingly cool. Sadly the character’s fate was sealed and it’s unlikely we’ll see him again, but luckily Jordan will be returning to the comic book realm. Netflix has picked up an adaptation of sci-fi thriller Failsafe with Jordan attached in the lead role, according to Deadline...
The new Ant-Man and the Wasp Trailer is a Riot
We’ve been telling you how Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) is going to be the breakout star of Peyton Reed’s Ant-Man and the Wasp (she’s in the title, after all). Yet why take our word for it when it’s made clear in this new trailer? Lilly’s Wasp is the first female superhero to appear in the title of an MCU film, and its’ her quest—to find her mother, Janet (Michelle Pfeiffer)—that provides the film it’s narrative thrust...
The Music of Lizzie Strikes a Sympathetic Tone for the Famous Killer
The four-line Lizzie Borden rhyme is graphic, if not particularly sympathetic. A woman commits a double homicide and the victims are her own parents. The real Borden was acquitted of the 1892 murders, but her legacy was condemned to the role of cold-blooded killer. Sundance selection Lizzie, starring Chloë Sevigny and Kristen Stewart, revisited the infamous crime with a compassion for Borden and explored the motivation that drove her to pick up the axe. Legion and Fargo composer,...
RBG Co-Directors/Producers on Their Groundbreaking Subject – Part 2
In Part 2 of our two-part interview with Betsy West and Julie Cohen, the filmmaking team behind the Ruth Bader Ginsburg documentary RBG that opens May 4, the pair discusses what they learned while doing their research (the justice is a huge opera fan), her nearly 56-year fairy-tale marriage to her incredibly supportive college sweetheart Martin Ginsburg and how they got around not being able to film the Supreme Court in session.
I thought about the advice that Ginsburg’s mother,...
