The Mandalorian Will Have an Original Star Wars Trilogy Feel
So many juicy details have emerged from the Television Critics Association yesterday. We got a bit of news regarding the Game of Thrones prequel pilot. We found out a bit about Marvel’s plans for the X-Men franchise, specifically Wolverine. And now we’ve got some new information on the upcoming live-action Star Wars series The Mandalorian.
One of the directors helming an episode is the great Taiki Waititi,
Game of Thrones Prequel Pilot to Film This Summer
Perhaps the Game of Thrones prequel pilot will include the Bud Knight? Joking aside, we’ve got a little more information about the upcoming pilot. First, Game of Thrones flagship series will be beginning its final six episodes on April 14. Once we find out how the battle between the living and the dead ends, all eyes will turn towards the upcoming GoT prequel pilot.
Disney Will Likely Find a Younger Wolverine
Hugh Jackman hung up his claws as Wolverine in Logan in arguably the greatest bow in superhero history. The now famously bloody, surprisingly touching swan song was Jackman’s last in a role that made him famous. Working with writer/director James Mangold, Jackman delivered the perfect coda to Wolverine’s hard-living, hero-whether-he-liked-it-or-not story. In a way, this makes Disney’s situation with carrying on the X-Men franchise a bit easier.
Disney Unveils Chinese Posters for Avengers: Endgame, Captain Marvel & More
The Mouse House is celebrating the Year of the Pig. Disney is embracing Chinese New Year by unveiling seven new posters for its 2019 movie lineup. Folks, the details are genuinely delightful.
The posters featured are (in order of release): Captain Marvel (March 8), Dumbo (March 29), Avengers: Endgame (April 26), Aladdin (May 24), Toy Story 4 (June 21), The Lion King (July 19) and Frozen 2 (November 22).
Watch Jordan Peele Cross Over Into The Twilight Zone
Last night’s Super Bowl game was a little strange. At times it felt as though we may have crossed over into The Twilight Zone. That low score was real, but we did get one brief glimpse of dimensions beyond when Jordan Peele took to the field in a new promo for the upcoming reboot.
The Twilight Zone teaser cut into the Super Bowl broadcast drawing us from normalcy to the strange and unusual just as characters in the classic show did.
The New Us Trailer Is Supremely Unnerving
The latest Us trailer will have you seeing sinister intent in every coincidence for the rest of our day. A series of unsettling images that seem a little too perfect and a lot too creepy are the next window we have into the world of Jordan Peele’s upcoming thriller.
When things start to unfold rather conveniently on a family beach vacation, Adelaide Wilson (Lupita Nyong’o) begins to suspect things may be about to go wrong.
Toy Story 4 Super Bowl Trailer Has Buzz Stuck in a Pickle
So, how about that game yesterday? Don’t answer that, rhetorical question. We both know the real reason why you sat through Super Bowl LIII: the movie trailers and commercials.
We got fresh looks at the hugely anticipated Avengers: Endgame and Captain Marvel during the big game, but Disney wasn’t done. They also released a new teaser for Pixar’s Toy Story 4,
Behold Bud Light’s Game of Thrones Super Bowl Ad
Big brands have always used the Super Bowl as an opportunity to flex their creative muscles. While we always expect new spots for major movies during the big game, like last night’s Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame, it’s always a guessing game which company will bring our their narrative big guns. Last year, Doritos dropped the second most surprising win at the Super Bowl (the Philadelphia Eagles beating the New England Patriots was the night’s most shocking victory) when they delivered their now iconic Game of Thrones-themed commercial.
The Avengers: Endgame Super Bowl Spot Delivers New Footage
“Some people move on. But not us.”
These are the somber but still stirring words that open the Avengers: Endgame Super Bowl spot. We first glimpse an eerily blue-lit, dark New York City skyline. The city’s famous skyline still stands tall, but it feels emptied and immeasurably sad. We know why this is, of course. The surviving members of the Avengers are scattered and broken (in more ways than one),
Go Higher, Further, Faster in Captain Marvel Super Bowl TV Spot
Higher. Further. Faster. This is the mantra we hear in the new Captain Marvel spot that aired during the Super Bowl, which was much more entertaining than the game. This a quick, thrilling 30-second adrenalin shot, showcasing Carol Danvers (Brie Larson)’s skills both in the cockpit of a fighter jet and in the full flower of her superhero persona, Captain Marvel. The only thing missing is Goose.
The spot begins with Carol Danvers in her Air Force gear,
Start Your Engines: The First Hobbs & Shaw Trailer is Mind-Blowing Fun
We stan this bromance! Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham tag team in the new Fast & Furious spin-off. Universal’s Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw has its first trailer out today, and boy, does it pack a punch.

The Batman Director Will Cast a Known Actor as Bruce Wayne
If you were hoping for a chance at casting as the young Bruce Wayne in the upcoming flick The Batman, looks like a “Thank U, Next” is all you’ll be getting from Matt Reeves!

A Black Panther Star Suggests Erik Killmonger Could Be Alive
A lot of villains have come and gone in the MCU, but short of Thanos, Erik Killmonger is almost certainly the most memorable. Michael B. Jordan’s performance was compelling and tragic. It was so gripping that we were almost disappointed to see T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) cut his rival down. Or did he? One of Jordan’s fellow Black Panther stars may know a little something about his character’s fate.
Marvel is notoriously careful about spoilers.
Cold Pursuit Director Hans Petter Moland on Liam Neeson’s Killer Plowman
In Hans Petter Moland‘s Cold Pursuit, Liam Neeson plays a humble snowplow driver named Nels Coxman living in the winter wonderland of Kehoe, Colorado. The film opens with Nels receiving Kehoe’s ‘Citizen of the Year’ award, which hs gratefully (and awkwardly) accepts. His beaming wife, Grace (Laura Dern) looks on. All is well. For roughly four minutes or so. In no time at all, the fuzzy, warm feelings give way to the title’s promise;

Director Catherine Hardwicke Delivers Gina Rodriguez as Action Star in Miss Bala
Catherine Hardwicke was 48 years old when she directed her first feature-length film. That movie, Thirteen, a dark look at a tumultuous mother-daughter relationship, garnered Golden Globe nominations for its stars, Holly Hunter and Evan Rachel Wood, as well as an Oscar nod for Hunter and an Independent Spirit Award for Nikki Reed.
Though by Hollywood standards she came a bit late to directing, the success of Thirteen demonstrated she was meant to be at the helm.
Screening Audiences Are Going Wild for Captain Marvel‘s Cat
When it comes to cats, we humans just cannot compete. They’re soft, they’re sassy, and they are a portal to infinite dimensions. Ok, that last part may be specific to a particular kind of cat that we are about to meet. Word on the street is that Captain Marvel is cool and all, but the breakout star of the film is her cat, Goose.
Ever since the first poster for the film dropped,
A Younger Bruce Wayne Will Take Over in The Batman
After months of speculation, we can finally sleep to-knight: Warner Bros.’ The Batman is coming in summer 2021.
Director Matt Reeves had been teasing fans about a release date. He will take the helm as writer and director for the upcoming summer blockbuster. (You know Reeves from directing science fiction sequels Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and War for the Planet of the Apes.) And get this: Ben Affleck WILL NOT return as the Caped Crusader.
The Cast of Toy Story 4 Share Emotional Reactions to the Last Day of Recording
There comes a day in every cowboy’s life when it is time to hang his hat for good. For Woody, that day has come. Tom Hanks tweeted out a photo from the recording studio where he spoke what may be his last words as the Toy Story star.
After nearly 25 years since the first film dropped, Toy Story 4 has wrapped recording. “Final line, final session as Woody of Toy Story 4.
Bird Box‘s VFX Supervisor on the Monster You Can’t See
What happens when Marcus Taormina tells people that he was the visual effects supervisor on the wildly popular Netflix film Bird Box?
“People have a ton of questions,” Taormina says, “but the central one is the creature question. I tell them that there is a lot on the editing room floor.”
What Bird Box’s invisible malefactors actually look like is one of the many ambiguities in the film that have preoccupied the Internet since Bird Box bowed over the Christmas holidays.
