Let’s Discuss Those Delicious Captain Marvel Easter Eggs

You’ve seen Captain Marvel? You’ve read our piece on those post-credits scenes? You’re up to speed on the creative team behind one of Marvel’s best origin stories? You’re hip on how they de-aged Samuel L. Jackson and Clark Gregg? Good, then you’re in the right place. If you haven’t seen the film then obviously do not read any further.

Okay!

This Video of Mad Max: Fury Road Without CGI is Simply Incredible

How good was George Miller‘s Mad Max: Fury Road? So good that his fellow directors often gush over his achievement (more on this below). Fury Road is, simply put, one of the best action films of the century. Miller’s vision of a parched, post-apocalyptic hellscape ruled by lunatics and their monstrous vehicles was a smash hit in every regard. It won an astonishing six Oscars: film editing (Margaret Sixel),

Meet the Creative Team That Helped Captain Marvel Soar

Captain Marvel‘s Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) is a part human part alien superhero who can 100% kick-ass. Seriously. Watch out Thanos. Directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck propelled Marvel’s most potent superhero to the big screen this weekend and the results are a critical and commercial smash. Meet the creative team who helped Boden, Fleck and Larson create a Marvel movie unlike any other.

The allegory catapults us to the Kree home planet of Hala where Danvers already touts her powers and is training as a member of Starforce,

Humor, Horror, and Unpredictable Twists: Us Lives Up to the Hype

Us is unlike anything you’ve ever felt before, on every level. It would seem foolish to expect any film to live up to the hype of that gloriously ambiguous trailer – released this past Christmas – much less the fanfare that comes with a long-queuing SXSW opening night premiere. I joined the line just before 1 pm in the afternoon, a full five and a half hours before the film was set to begin.

Dissecting Those Shockingly Revealing Post-Credits Captain Marvel Scenes

This was the weekend of Captain Marvel’s (Brie Larson) glorious debut, and if you’re anything like us, you were more than ready to meet her in all her heroic photon blasting glory. If you aren’t anything like us and wasted your whole weekend away without a single trip to Hala, stop reading now. We’re about to dive into information that is for S.H.I.E.L.D. eyes only – in other words, it’s about to get spoiler-ific. There was a major reveal after the credits rolled,

Early Reactions for Shazam Are Electric

We might all be heading to see Captain Marvel this weekend, but she isn’t the only superhero people are talking about today. Billy Batson is merely a month away from transforming into Shazam and early reactions to the newest member of the DCEU are grade A.

Critics have been tweeting their praise for the teenage superhero as “pure of heart” and “an absolute delight.” With comic movie clashes getting bigger and sometimes scarier,

Amazon’s Lord of the Rings Reveals the Location of the Series

It’s been a hot minute since word got out that a Lord of the Rings series is coming to the small screen, but when exactly this show would take place in J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy world has been a mystery to everyone. Amazon started teasing the show’s location on social media channels last month, releasing bits and pieces of an interactive map of Middle-earth to hungry fans. It was widely believed the show would focus on a young Aragorn,

How They De-Aged Samuel L. Jackson & Clark Gregg in Captain Marvel

Almost as proof of Peter Allen’s lyric that “everything old is new again,” the 90’s-set Captain Marvel has fun not only giddily referencing contemporaneous culture, but even retconning the MCU a bit.

It starts with the current incarnation of Captain Marvel—the former Ms. Marvel, Carol Danvers—as played by Brie Larson. Our heroine falls to Earth and lands, in this case, smack dab in a Blockbuster video store.

Samuel L. Jackson Addresses Why He Paged Captain Marvel So Late

Carol Danvers, where have you been all our lives? But, seriously. We could have used you before now. There have been some serious threats to the MCU, but by the time Thanos showed up and started scooping up Infinity Stones, we definitely could have used some backup.

Obviously, the Avengers do great work, but they weren’t enough to stop the baddest alien invader in the universe from destroying half of everything.

The Creepiest Characters in Aquaman Are Getting Their Own Film

Aqua-mania is real. After eclipsing Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises as the highest-grossing DC Comics film in history, it’s clear the King of Atlantis is here to stay.

While supporting the Aquaman exhibit at Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood, producer Peter Safran divulged exciting information about The Trench, the scheduled Aquaman spinoff he is working on with director James Wan.

Idris Elba is Joining the Suicide Squad in a Familiar Role

What a time to be an Idris Elba fan – and really, aren’t we all? The Avengers: Infinity War star will be making the leap from one comic universe to another. After news broke earlier this week that Will Smith would not be reprising his role of Deadshot in Suicide Squad, THR has confirmed that Elba will be stepping into the assassin’s shoes.

Smith reportedly has too much on his plate to return for the Suicide Squad sequel,

Watch the Trailer for Mindy Kaling’s Talk Show Laugher Late Night

Here is your first look at Mindy Kaling‘s film Late Night, one of the big hits at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. Amazon quickly scooped it up, and now it’s set for a summer release. Late Night is centered on Kaling’s Molly Patel, an aspiring comedy writer who lands what appears to be a dream job writing for late night television host Katherine Newbury (Emma Thompson). In this world,

The Russo Brothers Share a Tear Jerking Captain America Tribute Video

The fate of Captain America is one of Avengers: Endgame‘s most solemn questions. We’ve known for a long time that Chris Evans is hanging up the vibranium shield after the conclusion to the Russo Brothers two-part epic. The Russo’s themselves have equivocated about this fact, telling us that Evans might not be done with Cap after Endgame. This flies in the face of Evan’s own comments:

“Officially wrapped on Avengers 4,”

Even George R.R. Martin Doesn’t Know How Game of Thrones Ends

Game of Thrones has been a delicate balancing act since the first season. Not because of the political battles that threaten the fragile balance of power or the struggle for life over death. It has been so tricky because the biggest game on television in the 2010s has been born of a book.

Everyone knows that George R.R. Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire series inspired the hit show.

Captain Marvel Directors Joined Forces With Avengers: Endgame Directors

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

The return of Angelina Jolie‘s titular villain has been moved from May 2020 to October 18, 2019. We’ve been waiting to see the next step in Maleficent and Aurora (Elle Fanning)’s twisted relationship for five years. Jolie first donned the horns in Robert Stromberg’s 2014 film,

Brie Larson Reveals Secrets of Training with the Air Force for Captain Marvel

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.
