Brie Larson Proves She’s as Strong as Captain Marvel Herself

It is no coincidence that Brie Larson was chosen to play Captain Marvel. The Kree warrior can fly through space unaided, throw a photon blast, and take out the bad guys single handed. All in all, she’s the most powerful being the MCU. New footage suggests that Larson may also be the strongest member of the cast.

The actress shared a video of one of the more impressive exercises in her workout routine.

Producer

Berlin Station‘s Executive Producer on Making TV for Troubled Times

On one of the very few scripted television dramas to reflect the current global political climate, the covert C.I.A. operatives of Epix’s Berlin Station have found themselves mired in complex situations wrought by any number of familiar cranks and villains—internal whistle-blowers, far-right political parties, Russian thugs, mysterious hackers, and the list goes on. In depicting the inner workings of a fictionalized Berlin C.I.A. office, spy novelist Olen Steinhauer’s first television series works hard to examine the moral gray area of international espionage,

First Trailer for Danny Boyle’s Yesterday Re-Writes Beatles History

I have had this thought experiment so many times and now wish I had put pen to paper. What if you were the only person in the world who knew the greatest songs ever written? Would it matter if you didn’t actually write them?

The latest from director Danny Boyle appears to be a refreshing and charming new love story about becoming the biggest star in the world via someone else’s creativity. We all wish we were John,

The Wilsons Face Deadly Doppelgängers in New Us TV Spot

The trailers for Us just get crazier and crazier. Jordan Peele knows how to drill straight to the heart of terror.

For Get Out it was a fate worse than death. Can anyone honestly drink out of a teacup again without fearing they’ll be pulled into The Sunken Place? The body snatching while still sentient horror made us afraid of something we didn’t even know to be scared of until he wrote it.

R2-D2 Wraps Filming on set of Star Wars: Episode IX

While production is still underway for J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: Episode IX, one key character has shot its final scene. Emphasis on it, of course, as R2-D2 cannot credibly be given a gender. Yet the most iconic droid in history is played by actor Jimmy Vee, who took over the part for the late, great Kenny Baker. Vee recently confirmed on Twitter that he had completed his work on the film.

New Shazam! Footage & Featurette Reveal a Truly Happy Superhero

Recently, Warner Bros. invited some assorted journalists to have a peek at some extended footage of Shazam! The good news? Those outlets are reporting that, from what they’ve seen, the film appears to be as genuinely fun-loving and joyous as one would hope. The reason one would hope for such a tone is that director David F. Sandberg’s Shazam! is the story of a boy-turned-superhero (played by Zachary Levi),

Watch Game of Thrones Fans Create a Cersei Pancake & More

The theme song played perfectly on a violin. A young woman dressed up as Daenerys Targaryen eating what appears to be a heart. Another woman’s painstaking recreation of King’s Landing, by hand, with paper. The theme song again—this time on electric guitar. A lovingly handcrafted dragon. An impressive depiction of Cersei Lannister—via pancake. These are some of the tributes Game of Thrones fans have created for their favorite show, all captured in this minute-long video and released by HBO on their official Game of Thrones YouTube page.

Into the Spider-Verse‘s Shameik Moore Had Auditioned to Play Lando

Shameik Moore is now on everyone’s mind after playing Miles Morales in Sony’s CGI-animated film, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Although he’d had leading roles in the 2015 Sundance drama Dope and Netflix series The Get Down, it was the animated adventure’s success that catapulted Moore into the spotlight. The film has been nominated for an Oscar, no less.

In becoming the first Spider-Man of color,

Netflix has attracted its fair share of big-name directors in recent years. In fact, with Alfonso Cuaron’s Roma, the streaming service and full fledged production studio nabbed their first-ever Oscar-nominated film for best picture. You can be assured it won’t be their last. Enter Martin Scorsese, one of the most iconic living directors, and his upcoming film The Irishman, which Netflix will release this year.

“I’m kinda done with you telling me what I can’t do.” The newest TV spot for Captain Marvel aired during the Grammy Awards, and it was a fitting glimpse at the grit of Marvel’s newest superhero on a night that women ruled the Grammy’s stage. You do not want to mess with Carol Danvers.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’s Oscar-Nominated Directors on Being Bold

Directors Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman asked themselves a question: how could they tell a story and be as wild and bold as they could adapting a comic book to the big screen that hadn’t been seen before. Enter Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Now the three are Oscar-nominated directors, and their film has become a critical and commercial smash hit.

It’s official—Will Smith is very blue. And magical!

Disney has dropped the first TV spot for Guy Ritchie’s live-action remake of Aladdin, and it delivers our first peek at Will Smith’s blue-skinned, wish-fulfilling Genie.

Meet Robot Chucky in the First Child’s Play Trailer

My greatest childhood terror is getting a hi-tech makeover. The first trailer for the Child’s Play remake reintroduces the doll of our nightmares with a 21st-century twist.

An overly optimistic advertisement introduces a robotic companion for kids. Obviously, a good idea. The plot is not overly stated here, which is appreciated, but we’re picking up on a single mom trying to cheer up her loner kid who is being bullied. The gift is immediately a little more invasive than anyone expected as it scans the poor boy’s face running a bright laser over his eyes.

Director Elizabeth Banks Shares First Photo of Charlie’s Angels Trio

We’re still several months away from Charlie’s Angels, a film reboot of the 1970s TV series, directed by Elizabeth Banks. A previous photo from Banks last September sent her followers in a frenzy, wishing her good luck on the venture—and requesting to see a pic of Charlie’s newest group of gals.

This week, the director did just that, taking to Twitter once more to give us a behind-the-scenes look of the franchise’s newest angels: Ella Balinska,

Captain Marvel Rocks Out in New TV Spot

Who is up for a game of laser tag? That is seriously a lost art that we should revive. Brie Larson proves in a new Captain Marvel TV spot that being the most powerful being in the universe doesn’t mean you have to be dull. She is kicking some serious alien butt and having fun doing it. Ok, she isn’t actually playing laser tag, but Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) does reference the bygone game.

Let the fandom rejoice! As we inch closer and closer to the release of one of the year’s biggest films, Avengers fans are getting all sorts of wild (and weird) information. We got a recent synopsis (neither wild nor weird, but telling). Then, earlier today, there was scuttlebutt over a new image of the remaining Avengers featured on—wait for it—Orville Redenbacher’s website as a part of a promotional tie-in.

Back to the Future With Star Trek: Discovery’s Production Designer

Star Trek: Discovery has been boldly going places even past incarnations of the iconic TV series have never been. It took a mere two episodes for the show to break completely new ground; the Starfleet’s first mutiny carried out by the star of the show, Sonequa Martin Green’s Michael Burnham.

The major advances are not the only narrative. Behind the scenes, a top-flight crew has been making the most of the latest technology and some very special locations to pull off the kind of show Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry would have loved and made,

Avengers: Endgame Synopsis Released

We’ve got our first look at the official Avengers: Endgame synopsis and two key lines make it worth a think. Disney’s Australian website has revealed the boilerplate for the Russo Brothers finale to their two-part epic. There’s nothing truly surprising here, but the bolded bits will give Marvel-heads something to consider:
