It’s a Colossal Scrum in new Godzilla: King of the Monsters Trailer

When the monsters rise, we are completely at their mercy. A new Godzilla: King of the Monsters trailer plays on the beauty and terror of nature.

Any new natural phenomenon we don’t understand can be beautiful until the destructive implications are revealed. A magnificent “light show” is the source of a gorgeous blue glow, but its source is potentially deadly. As a group of scientists look on in wonder,

Leonardo DiCaprio Shares Poster for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Quentin Tarantino‘s films are always events. The meticulous writer/director takes his time from one movie to the next, drafting his singular scripts and assembling his incredible casts over the course of years. His next film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, could be the auteur’s most perfect combination of era, story, and cast yet. The film is set in Los Angeles during the horrific Manson Family Murders in 1969.

Wonder Woman 1984 Producer Describes Movie as a Standalone Film

Sequels, prequels, remakes, reboots. There are a lot of ways to continue a franchise, but Wonder Woman 1984 is none of these. Sure, it is a follow up to the hugely popular introduction of Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) and will feature the same stars, but the studio is apparently treating it as a standalone film.

The next film starring the Amazonian superhero will pick up 66 years after the first, but 35 years before present day.

The Secret Weapons That May Be Hiding in the Avengers: Endgame Trailer

It is Avengers mania this week with a new poster and a new trailer and tons of new clues to dissect. With the magnificent arrival of Captain Marvel, we are ready for the finale of the biggest MCU phase yet.

New Suits & a Desperate Mission Fuel new Avengers: Endgame Trailer

“God it seems like a thousand years ago I fought my way out of that cave, became Iron Man and realized I loved you.” This is, of course, Tony Stark, talking to Pepper Pots. “I know we said no more surprises, but, I was really hoping to pull off one last one.” Only Tony’s talking to her via a message in a bottle, so to speak. That bottle is the spaceship he’s gotten himself on after nearly being killed by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War.

Us Has a Creepy Cool Soundtrack and Unforgettable Remix

We saw Us at SXSW and it is an insane and scary mind twister that is satisfying in every way – down to the music.

Kevin Smith Kept that Captain Marvel Stan Lee Cameo Secret for Months

A big part of the fun of being an MCU fan is taking part in the traditions and inside jokes. Spotting secrets, callbacks, and tie-ins never gets old. As we see more and more of the superhero adventures unfold, there are more ways to connect it all together. Captain Marvel is no exception with a whole host of Easter Eggs and spicy post-credits content.

You’ve likely already digested Captain Marvel‘s two post-credits scenes. (Spoiler alert).

Oscar Isaac Teases Fulfilling end to Skywalker Saga in Star Wars: Episode IX

In the end, there will have been 9 films stretched out over 42-years. What began in 1977 as a moonshot (pun intended) sci-fi space opera by a young George Lucas has become the single biggest film franchise in history.

Idris Elba’s Deadshot in The Suicide Squad to be Darker, More Damaged

You likely already know that Will Smith is out and Idris Elba is in as Deadshot James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad.

Robbie should be reprising her role once she’s done filming Birds of Prey.

Making Wights & White Walkers With Game of Thrones‘ Prosthetics Team

When you think of the beastly creatures in Game of Thrones, the first thought is usually paid to Dany’s trio of dragons. When we analyzed season 8’s trailer, one of the most joyous parts was watching characters react to seeing Drogon and Rhaegal for the first time. (We all know what happened to Dany’s other dragon, Viserion.) Yet when you really think about it,

Nic Cage Goes “Full Cage” in Delightful Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Video

The Oscar-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse had almost an embarrassment of creative riches. A trio of talented directors. The super team of producer Chris Miller and writer-producer Phil Lord. That revolutionary animation. There was also, of course, that sensational cast. Shameik Moore was your star as Mile Morales, and his adventure as the up-and-coming Spider-Man put him into contact with a multiverse of other web-slingers. There was Jake Johnson’s Peter B.
