In what was one of the smoothest, most genuinely pleasant Oscars telecasts in recent memory, Michelle Yeoh made history, Everything Everywhere All At Once won just about everything everywhere, and the 95th Academy Awards rolled into the history books with nary a bump in the road and backed by a gentle breeze.

“Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 2” Adds “Ted Lasso” Star Hannah Waddingham

Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham is going from the front office of the fictional AFC Richmond squad to the high-octane world of international espionage. Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 2 writer/director Christopher McQuarrie has revealed that Waddingham will be in the final installment of his Tom Cruise-led franchise via Instagram.

“Wednesday” Star Jenna Ortega in Talks to Star in Tim Burton’s “Beetlejuice 2”

Jenna Ortega and Tim Burton are becoming quite the potent duo. The Wednesday star is circling Burton’s Beetlejuice 2, the long-awaited sequel to his 1988 comedy that starred Michael Keaton as a malicious spirit trying to help a pair of recently deceased husband and wife (played by Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis) and scare some people out of their former house.

The Hollywood Reporter scoops that multiple sources have confirmed that Ortega is looking seriously at a role in the film...

Michael Shannon’s Return as General Zod in “The Flash” Surprised…Michael Shannon

Now that details about director Andy Muschietti’s The Flash are coming to light—a film the new DC Studios co-chief James Gunn has called one of the best superhero movies he’s ever seen—we know that Michael Keaton’s return as Batman isn’t the only Michael reprising a role in the film. Michael Shannon also returns as the Superman nemesis General Zod, and the news surprised not just everyone who saw Zod die in Man of Steel but Shannon himself...

“Scream VI” Review Round-Up: A Clever, Homicidal Shell Game in the Big City

The Radio Silence team that brought you last year’s Scream (the fifth installment in the franchise, although it lacked a number in the title) are back, and it seems they’ve delivered an even nastier, naughtier, more tightly-wound slasher with Scream VI. With reviews no longer under embargo, critics have begun weighing in on what the first film in the franchise to be set outside of Woodsboro, California, delivers now that the action has moved to New York City...

“Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” Writer Jeff Loveness Spotlights Marvel’s Wackiest Characters

Honey, I Shrunk the Baddest Supervillain in the Multiverse might have been the alternate title for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Evil things come in little packages – but with big punchlines – in the pivotal first entry in Marvel’s Phase 5.

Screenwriter Jeff Loveness was tasked with introducing a new supervillain into the MCU that has to top Thanos, but don’t expect him to do it with a straight face. He takes tons of detours to give the most eccentric creatures in the Quantum Realm their moment in the sun...

Hugh Jackman Reveals his Meal Plan for Bulking Up to Play Wolverine in “Deadpool 3”

What does it take to become Wolverine? Hugh Jackman revealed the menu he’s working with in order to bulk up to become the adamantium-clawed mutant for Deadpool 3. The photo Jackman shared of his meal plan (which he credits to Chef Mario) is, of course, only part of his process of recapturing the fully jacked physique of arguably the toughest member of the X-Men. You can’t just eat your way to a six-pack and jacked biceps, but if you want to become Wolverine,...

Seth Rogen’s “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem” Delivers a Delightful First Trailer

When Seth Rogen revealed the star-studded cast helping bring the heroes in a half shell back to the big screen, even those not intimately connected to the 1980s cartoon (or the previous film adaptations thereafter, or the new, more recent animated series) had to pause. Rogen revealed that along with the central cast, all appropriately voiced by teens, the supporting stars included Rose Byrne, Jackie Chan, Ice Cube, John Cena, Paul Rudd, Maya Rudolph, Hannibal Buress,...

Chris Evans & Ana de Armas Take Love on the Run in First “Ghosted” Trailer

You can’t ask for a better pairing for an action rom-com than Chris Evans and Ana de Armas, and that’s precisely what Apple TV’s Ghosted is offering. The twist is that Captain America himself isn’t the one doing the wooing and the rescuing; in fact, Evans plays a likable if “average” (despite still looking like, you know, Chris Evans) guy named Cole who falls in love with Sadie (de Armas) who seems equally enthused about the relationship until,...

Oscar-Nominated Makeup & Hair Designer Heike Merker Paints With Mud & Blood in “All Quiet on the Western Front”

Director Edward Berger’s adaptation of All Quiet on the Western Front is a painfully absorbing epic. Berger’s take on Erich Maria Remarque’s iconic 1929 novel, captured with astonishing vividness by cinematographer James Friend, teases out the themes in the seminal work about the horrors of World War I with bloody precision. The film wastes no time in depicting the dehumanizing industry of the first mechanized war, in which a dead soldier is stripped of his uniform so that it can be stitched up,...

Jonathan Majors Shines & Michael B. Jordan Delivers a Knockout In “Creed III” Directorial Debut

Michael B. Jordan has taken his talents to the next level with Creed III, making his directorial debut in a film he also stars in and produced. The critics are calling his effort championship belt worthy.

Tom Cruise Filming Part of “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two” On U.S. Aircraft Carrier off Italian Coast

It’s old news by now that Tom Cruise is a man who likes to do his own stunts, which includes a lot of the flying he has done in movies like Top Gun: Maverick and his many installments in the Mission: Impossible franchise. For Mission: Impossible – Fallout, Cruise famously piloted a helicopter in the climatic final scene in his chopper-to-chopper battle against Henry Cavill’s August Walker. Stunt coordinator Wade Eastwood told us that Cruised trained on the helicopter for a year to get it right...

Hugh Jackman Teases “Double Role” for Wolverine in “Deadpool 3”

Before we try to unpack an intriguing clue that Hugh Jackman revealed to the French newspaper Le Parisien about his upcoming return as Wolverine in Deadpool 3, let’s quickly assess what we do know about the film.

Jackman returns as Wolverine in Deadpool 3 despite dying a hero’s death in James Mangold’s terrific Logan via some narrative trickery. Or really, it doesn’t even have to be all that tricky considering Logan is set in 2029 and Deadpool 3 is presumably set before then...
