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.

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.

Breaking Down the Game of Thrones Season 8 Trailer

So you’ve seen the Game of Thrones season 8 trailer. Multiple times, if you’re anything like us. From the opening seconds, we get the distilled spirit of what’s to come in a single character—Arya Stark. At first, she’s running, panicked, through the dark. Then we see her coolly discussing death while holding her trusty sword, needle. She’s one of Game of Thrones’ most changed characters, from beloved youngest Stark daughter and tomboy to something entirely different.

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.

The Last of the Living Prepare for Battle in Game of Thrones Trailer

This is the most hopeless and hopeful I have ever felt at once. The trailer for the final Game of Thrones season is filled with both bravery and despair and bleeds with every possible emotion.

So here we are. The friends and foes from each family that remains have banded together to stare down an overwhelming and relentless enemy. Will the final few reign victorious?

Faced with the overwhelming threat of the Army of the Dead,

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,

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,

The Conditions for the Final Game of Thrones Battle Were Brutal

For all of the craziness that has occurred on Game of Thrones, even the wildest moments are unlikely to stack up to what is to come. I am honestly exhausted after reading this deep dive by Entertainment Weekly into the episode long battle scene for the epic show’s final season.

You would probably be safe to say that of the Game of Thrones surviving cast,

Dressing Misfits, Robots & Superheroes With The Umbrella Academy‘s Costume Designer

Understandably, there’s been a lot of fan interest in the gargantuan prosthetic that Tom Harper wears for his portrayal of Luther Hargreeves, a.k.a. No. 1, in the well-received Netflix superhero series The Umbrella Academy. However, no one is emailing the show’s costume designer Christopher Hargadon about actually purchasing one. Hargadon is getting inquiries from fans asking where they can buy Luther’s mom’s outfits. The first time we meet the show’s matriarch,

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,

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.

Building Sets in Malawi for Chiwetel Ejiofor’s The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind

Today Netflix is releasing actor Chiwetel Ejiofor’s directorial debut, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind. Based on the 2009 bestselling memoir, co-written by its subject, William Kamkwamba, and Bryan Mealer, the film depicts Kamkwamba’s teenaged years in Malawi during a famine, when he successfully built a windmill irrigation system based on an old library book and using parts from a scrapyard. Prior to its Netflix release, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind premiered at Sundance in January and was screened at the Berlinale film festival.

IT: Chapter Two May Use A Record Breaking Amount of Blood in a Single Scene

Just what is up in Derry, Maine these days? Thirty years (two years) have passed since Pennywise last terrorized the town, but since then, it has been nearly silent. Yet, we get a feeling that something is about to happen once again.

Ok, I’m being dramatic, but I am seriously craving some updates from IT: Chapter Two and Jessica Chastain is here to deliver. We haven’t had any official production stills or a teaser of any kind and the year of the clown is upon is.

The new Hellboy Trailer is Pure Fire

“On an island off the coast of Scotland, something was summoned from the depths of Hell. Something that will end mankind,” says Lady Hatton (Sophie Okonedo). What kind of terrifying monster is she referring to? This is the very question our hero, Hellboy (David Harbour) has at the start of this new trailer.

“And this thing you’re worried about, did it show up?” our red, de-horned hero asks, somewhat naively we must admit.”

Hellboy is Ready for Battle in Two New Posters Ahead of Next Trailer Release

Choose your weapon. Hellboy (David Harbour) is wielding all of his most famous tools of destruction in two new posters for the film.

The first features the demon hero wielding a flaming sword undo a fiery halo. Sporting his epic full-length horns, the image also features Hellboy’s most famous asset – the Right Hand of Doom. Compared to his more human-like hand, you can really see just how sizeable that arm is.
