Game of Thrones Episode 3 Images Hint at Horror to Come
As we wrote yesterday, the time for talk is over.
Game of Thrones has entered the final phase in its titular lethal contest over who rules, who serves, and who dies. The premiere and the second episode gave us time to breathe. Danerys Targaryen and her vast southern army have been reluctantly absorbed into the north, by a people who don’t really trust them. Jon Snow has finally learned of his true parentage...
It’s a Whole New World in Fresh Aladdin Spot
If you can watch this new Aladdin TV spot without breaking into song, you’re made of stouter stuff than we are. This fresh look at Guy Ritchie’s live-action remake delivers a snippet of the classic song “A Whole New World,” making it very difficult (for some) to not join along. The spot also illuminates Naomi Scott’s stellar vocal chops.
We’ve also got another look at Will Smith’s Genie as he tries to refashion—quite literally—Aladdin (Mena Massoud) into a prince...
Avengers: Endgame Reviews Tout Blockbuster for the Ages
Yesterday we shared the initial—and highly emotional—reactions to Avengers: Endgame. The review embargo has now been lifted, folks. This means we can now gauge the full breadth of what critics are saying. The critical consensus seems to be this: Avengers: Endgame pulls off the seemingly impossible task of delivering an immensely satisfying capstone to Marvel’s decade-long, 22-film cinematic universe. Emotional, epic and ambitious, many are calling Endgame the best Marvel movie ever...
Avengers: Endgame Talent on Their Road to This Epic Milestone
To celebrate the final chapter of their game-changing superhero saga that launched 11 years ago, stars aligned in downtown Los Angeles earlier this month to hang out, reminisce and talk up Avengers: Endgame. Hosted by Iron Man director Jon Favreau, the spoiler-free press conference included Robert Downey Jr., Danai Gurira, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Karen Gillan, Don Cheadle, Mark Ruffalo, sibling directors Anthony Russo and Joe Russo plus Marvel Cinematic Universe puppet master Kevin Feige,...
Which Major Character(s) Will die in The Battle of Winterfell?
We’ve had two bloodless, at times achingly heartfelt episodes to prepare us for what’s to come. Both “Winterfell” and “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” allowed us to spend some time with characters we’ve had nearly a decade to get to know. The third episode of Game of Thrones eighth and final season will offer no such opportunity for reflection.
The Final Godzilla: King of the Monsters Trailer is a Beast
Director Michael Dougherty’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters offers bigger, meaner monsters for the single price of a movie ticket. Gareth Edwards reintroduced the king of the monsters to the big screen in 2014’s Godzilla, which also had a bunch of other monsters in it. Yet Edwards’ film was more of a gorgeously rendered and evocatively staged epic, whereas Doughtery’s movie feels like a full blown monster mash. The final trailer suggests that Dougherty and all involved have let the titular Titans loose in every possible way...
It’s Will Smith vs. Will Smith in First Gemini Man Trailer
Is there anyone who gives you a harder time than yourself? Are you not your own biggest enemy? These questions and more might spring to mind when you check out the first trailer for Ang Lee‘s Gemini Man. The film features two Will Smith’s for the price of one. A younger version of Smith, de-aged, is sent after the older version to take him out. The de-aging process has been growing in leaps and bounds lately,...
First Reactions to Avengers: Endgame Hype Epic, Emotional Powerhouse
We’ve waited a year for the surviving members of the Avengers to have another crack at Thanos after the events in Infinity War. That time has finally come. Avengers: Endgame has already had its world premiere, and the early reactions are pouring in. It turns out that the hugely emotional final trailer was a solid indicator of how the whole film feels. After a decade and 21 films worth of build-up, the first reactions to Endgame speak to a thrilling,...

This is the first time Marvel has made all of these post-credits scenes available in one place...
Spider-Man: Far From Home Will end Marvel’s Phase 3
You’d be forgiven for assuming that Avengers: Endgame would be the official end to Marvel’s Phase 3. The upcoming epic conclusion to the Avengers’ years-in-the-making battle with Thanos seems like the obvious capper to this Marvel phase. Yet, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige has revealed this isn’t the case. The final film in Phase 3 is Jon Watts’ Spider-Man: Far From Home.
Newsweek reported that Feige revealed the news at a press event for Endgame in Shanghai...
Death Arrives in Game of Thrones Episode 3 Trailer
The Night King and his army of the dead arrived at Winterfell at the end of the second episode. All of the build-up to this epic clash—including the macabre messages and various skirmishes—is finally about to pay off. The first two episodes of season eight gave us a chance to breathe. We spent time with these characters we’ve spent nearly a decade getting to know. We laughed. We cried. We cringed anytime Bran made some bizarre remark...
“The Things we do for Love”: Game of Thrones Episode 2 Recap
One way we can look at the first two episodes of Game of Thrones’ eighth and final season is as the staging of a funeral. In the premiere episode, “Winterfell,” the beloved sons and daughters of the Seven Kingdom were gathering in the titular northern kingdom to pay their respects a world they once knew. There was awkward small talk (Sansa and Daenerys), uncomfortable reunions (Bran and Jon, Bran and Jaime Lannister, Bran and everyone),...
A Gruesome Theory Behind the Night King’s Spiral of Death
We were treated to a gruesome sight towards the end of Game of Thrones‘ season 8 premiere. Little Lord Ned of House of Umber was staked to a wall, encircled by severed arms. It was a message from the Night King. This macabre calling card was made all the more brutal when the undead Ned began screaming. Beric put him out of his misery, stabbing him through the chest with his flaming sword. The whole sequence was a grim reminder that while the living squabble in Winterfell and King’s Landing,...
These 15 New Avengers: Endgame Photos Sizzle
We are now officially a week away from Avengers: Endgame. Marvel has just released a big old batch of new photos, highlighting our survivors’ new suits, new alliances, and old bonds. Nebula (Karen Gillan) and War Machine (Don Cheadle)? Yeah, we’ll take it. Especially Rhodey’s cool camo-suit. Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) with a fresh new haircut and that full sleeve tattoo? You do you, Clint!
The marketing campaign for the epic conclusion to a decade’s worth of MCU films has picked up speed...
New Avengers: Endgame Spot Reveals a Possible Mistake by Thanos
Stop reading right now if you want to know as little as possible about Avengers: Endgame. We are well aware that every new trailer and TV spot could potentially give you more information than you really want. Then again, Marvel is expert at giving you bits and pieces to satisfy your craving without really telling you much of anything.
Still here? Great, let’s take a look at the new TV spot,...
Jaime Lannister’s Coming Troubles Highlight Game of Thrones Episode 2 Images
We’ve got a fresh batch of images from the next episode of Game of Thrones. It’s still incredible we’ve got only five more of these things left. The new photos are all set in and around Winterfell, where the majority of the action in the season 8 premiere took place.
The last shot in the premiere was, for our money, the most potent of the entire episode. It was focused on two characters who lives intersected catastrophically in the pilot episode—Jaime Lannister and Bran Stark...
Idris Elba is Black Superman in new Hobbs & Shaw Trailer
A brand new trailer for Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw is here to fire you up on a Thursday morning. The new look is as joyously super-charged as you could hope for. Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham are back as the stacked and jacked member of America’s Diplomatic Security Service and the former British military elite operative respectively. These iconic frenemies are forced to team up when a villain comes along who might be tougher than both of them...
John Cena up for Role in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad
The cast for James Gunn‘s The Suicide Squad is starting to shape up. When news broke that Will Smith wouldn’t be reprising his role as Deadshot, Suicide Squad fans were understandably concerned. Then we found out that Idris Elba would be taking over the role, and all seemed right in the world. What’s more, Elba’s version of Deadshot would be a more conflicted sort, which is saying something...
Star Wars Video Game Knights of the Old Republic to be Adapted
Oh, the bounty the Star Wars Celebration brings each year. We were as parched as the desert biome of Jakku for any information surrounding J.J. Abrams’ upcoming Star Wars: Episode IX until the celebration kicked off in Chicago on April 11. In short order, we found out a bunch. First, that title is The Rise of Skywalker (!!). Then we got our first look at the film, which included a shocking reveal at the very end...
The Final Trailer for Dark Phoenix Gets Cosmic
“Ladies and gentleman of NASA, this is Charles Xavier. Help is on the way.”
While the X-Men have always done their level best to help humanity, the results rarely work in their favor. They’re still mistrusted, loathed and feared by millions. They’re forever battling a war of perceptions, if not actual wars —often against fellow mutants led by Magneto (Michael Fassbender). And now, in the case of Dark Phoenix, their best-laid plans to help save a crew of astronauts results in a game-changing metamorphosis for one of their own...
