“House of the Dragon” Costume Designer Jany Temime’s Deadly Elegance

French costume designer Jany Temime has outfitted plenty of iconic characters, including Harry Potter (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince), James Bond (Spectre), and Marvel’s Black Widow. But in terms of sheer scale, none of those feature-length films can match the ten-hour introduction to House of the Dragon, which just had its season finale on HBO Max. In this Game of Thrones prequel,

“House of the Dragon” Co-Creator & Co-Showrunner Ryan Condal on Season One & Beyond

The first season of House of the Dragon has come to a close as an unqualified success. The premiere saw the largest single-day viewership for a series debut in HBO’s history and continued to land consistently in the top five titles streamed across all platforms through its last episode. The show was renewed before the second episode of the series even aired. 

House of the Dragon is a prequel to Game of Thrones—created by George R.R.

New “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” Teaser Offers a Closer Look at the New Black Panther

“Without the Black Panther, Wakanda will fall.” These menacing words, spoken by Namor (Tenoch Huerta), open a new Black Panther: Wakanda Forever teaser and they might be his downfall.  This new look offers fresh images from director Ryan Coogler’s upcoming sequel, which carries on the story of the high-tech, highly secretive African nation of Wakanda after the loss of their king, T’Challa (the late Chadwick Boseman), mimicking the real-life loss of Boseman after he passed away tragically,

“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” Tracking For Colossal Opening

The excitement for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is massive. In fact, early tracking indicates director Ryan Coogler’s eagerly-anticipated sequel will likely bring in the second biggest opening weekend box office haul of the year.

The firm NRG has Wakanda Forever eyeing a $175 million opening, yet even those eye-popping numbers might be on the low end. Multiple outlets, including Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, write that rival studio executives believe those figures will grow after the reviews and word-of-mouth amp up the excitement even further.

“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” Reveals Stunning New Image of Namor

Marvel Studios has been known to pull a fast one when it comes to villains. Recall Ben Kingsley’s supposed villain Mandarin in Iron Man 3, a demented and terrifying terrorist who seemed to be the world’s biggest nightmare and Tony Stark’s biggest headache. It turned out that the Mandarin, in this case, was actually an actor named Trevor Slattery, pretending to be the dreaded supervillain at the behest (really, demand) of Guy Pearce’s truly demented Eric Savin.

Temuera Morrison to Play King of Maui in Jason Momoa’s Series “Chief of War”

Temuera Morrison and Jason Momoa are like family. Well, they played a family in Aquaman, with Morrison playing Thomas Curry, the father to Momoa’s Arthur Curry. Now, Momoa has cast his former co-star—and the lead of the Disney+ Star Wars series Book of Boba Fett—to star in his Hawaiian war epic Chief of War.

Morrison will play King Kahekili, the King of Maui, in Momoa’s nine-episode epic that will stream on Apple TV+.

Lupita Nyong’o on the Bittersweet Beauty of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”

Lupita Nyong’o was nearly as stunned as the rest of the world when Chadwick Boseman, her co-star in Black Panther, passed away in August 2020. In a must-read interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Nyong’o opened up about that loss (among other things) and what it meant to carry on his legacy in the sequel, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which arrives in theaters on November 11.

Nyong’o told THR that while she knew Boseman was sick,

New “Armageddon Time” Clip Teases Writer/Director James Gray’s Most Personal Film

A young boy named Paul (Banks Repeta) is wearing his new private school uniform, which not only comes with a blazer and tie but also, absurdly, a briefcase. He’s unhappy about this development. His mother, Esther (Anne Hathaway), thinks he looks handsome, while his father, Irving (Jeremy Strong), sees the picture of a hard-working young man. “This says I am ready to work, I come as a student,” Irving says. Paul’s unhappiness increases at this comment.

Will Barry Keoghan Return as Joker in “The Batman 2”?

The most telling portion of Barry Keoghan’s brief but potent performance in The Batman arrived in an unusual way—a deleted scene that was revealed a few weeks after the film premiered. Sure, we briefly met Keoghan’s unnamed Arkham Asylum Inmate towards the end of the film, after Batman (Robert Pattinson) has finally nabbed the Riddler (Paul Dano). Alone in his cell, the Riddler’s having a meltdown until his friendly, happy-go-lucky neighbor in the next cell calms him down and promises him bigger things are in store.

Thrilling “Creed III” Trailer Announces Arrival of Michael B. Jordan the Director

Michael B. Jordan’s career has just shifted into a new, exciting phase.

The Creed III star is also making his directorial debut with the third film in the trilogy, and Jordan took to Twitter to share the first trailer. Safe to say, this first look is a knockout. This trailer arrives a day after Jordan gave us a look at two new posters featuring himself as Adonis Creed and Jonathan Majors as Damian Anderson,

“Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio” Early Reactions: A Stop-Motion Masterpiece

There was never a question that Guillermo del Toro was going to do something distinctive with his Pinocchio adaptation. Now that the film had its international premiere in London, critics have had a chance to see just what the visionary director has done with his first animated film. The answer, at least thus far, is unsurprising—Del Toro has created a bracingly original, deeply personal stop-motion masterpiece.

Del Toro revealed last week why he chose to set his version of Pinocchio in fascist Italy during the reign of Benito Mussolini.

Henry Cavill May Return as Superman

There is a lot happening within the DC Extended Universe right now. First and foremost, this Friday marks the arrival of Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam, a major event within the DCEU that will significantly impact the future of Warner Bros.’ comic book universe. Johnson’s arrival comes at an interesting time for DC, with Warner’s superhero firmament in a period of potentially fruitful flux. In fact, The Hollywood Reporter scoops that right now,

Harrison Ford Joins the MCU With Role in “Captain America: New World Order”

Welcome to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Mr. Ford.

Harrison Ford will be taking over for the late William Hurt in the role of General Ross in the upcoming Captain America: New World Order, The Hollywood Reporter confirms. The film is the first MCU feature in which the mantle of Captain America is taken up by Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson and the third Captain America standalone film.

Michael B. Jordan Reveals “Creed III” Posters & Arrival of Jonathan Majors as Damian Anderson

Michael B. Jordan stepped into the director’s chair for Creed III, which will find his Adonis Creed meeting his toughest challenger yet—yes, even tougher than Florian Munteanu’s Viktor Drago from Creed II. That opponent is Jonathan Majors’ Damian Anderson, and we’ve now got our first look at how hard both Jordan and Majors worked to get into fighting shape for the upcoming film.

Jordan revealed two new posters for Creed III on Twitter,

“Tulsa King” Trailer Reveals Sylvester Stallone as Mafia Don on a Mission

Sylvester Stallone as an Italian mobster, freshly sprung from prison, being relocated to run things in Tulsa, Oklahoma? Yeah, we’ll take some of that. What’s more, Sly’s upcoming Tulsa King on Paramount+ comes from two very heavy hitters, creator and Academy Award nominee Taylor Sheridan, who is becoming his own TV studio with his expanding Yellowstone empire, and showrunner and head writer Terrence Winter, who worked on a little series you might have heard called The Sopranos. 

HBO Reveals Closer Look at “The Last of Us” in New Video

In a new promo, HBO has given us some of their most hotly-anticipated series, perhaps none more so than Craig Mazin’s adaptation of The Last of Us. Based on the popular video game series, the Chernobyl creator has teamed with the video game’s writer and creative director, Neil Druckmann, to give us a 10-episode season centered on the dangerous journey of Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) across a devastated American landscape in a post-apocalyptic world.

“Ramy” Costume Designer Nicky Smith on Season 3’s Style Evolution

Ramy Youssef’s consistently excellent self-titled Hulu series Ramy centers on his titular character, a young Muslim trying to reconcile his elastic identity. He’s the son of Egyptian immigrants living in New Jersey stretched in multiple directions, between his Muslim community, God, his friends, and his still murky future. The series was a critical hit when it premiered, and Ramy didn’t lose any of its intellectual heft, hilarity, or bite in season 2.

Guillermo del Toro on Why He Set “Pinocchio” in a World of Fascism

Guillermo del Toro was never going to make a wooden Pinocchio. What we mean by that admittedly bad pun is that the visionary director was always going to take the deathless story of Pinocchio and mold it into something unique and personal. And Pinocchio is deeply personal to the auteur, who has said that it’s the story that probably shaped him more than any other. “No art form has influenced my life and my work more than animation,

Colin Farrell Says “The Penguin” Will Begin A Week After “The Batman” Ending
