How Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is Revolutionizing Animation
Superhero films are all, at their essence, a comic book on screen. Some make a more literal translation than others. Highly stylized films like Sin City and Watchmen are live action attempts to bring graphic novels to life and they definitely made a splash in their time. However, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse has completely rewritten the rules of animation and may come the closest yet to being a moving comic book page.
The Future of the MCU Looks More Inclusive Post Avengers 4
In a world of interconnecting storylines, the logistics of more than a decade of films is bound to get complicated. Particularly when the mere existence of an upcoming project could be a spoiler. Half of the potential characters who could star in upcoming movies are believed to be gone. Whether or not they are resurrected would be compromised if too much about their future in the franchise was revealed. Regardless of who survives the snap and who doesn’t,
Behind Brie Larson’s Intense Training for Captain Marvel
It’s not like when Samuel L. Jackson worked on Kong: Skull Island with Brie Larson, she was out of shape. It’s just that Jackson couldn’t believe the workout regiment Larson committed herself to in preparation for taking on the role of Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel. Speaking to /Film during a set visit, Jackson shared a video that Larson had sent him of her working out:
“A year ago,
The 2nd Captain Marvel Breakdown: Unleashing Cap’s Full Powers
So THAT’s why Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) was beating up a grandma on a train in the first Captain Marvel trailer—the grey-haired lady was a Skrull in disguise (these aliens can shapeshift, remember) and Cap was only doing what any intergalactic superhero must. Such is how the second trailer for Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck‘s upcoming film begins, with a beat-down on a public train that had us all somewhat confused until now.
Captain Marvel Takes Flight in More Ways than One in New Trailer
We are feeling more hopeful about the fate of the Avengers than ever with the release of a new Captain Marvel trailer. The new look reveals more about who Carol Danvers is, how she gained her powers, and just exactly what she can do. The film will take us back to 1995, but there are large-scale implications here of how she will fit into the rest of the MCU.
There is an intergalactic war raging between the Krees (good guys) and Skrulls (bad guys).
Bumblebee Will Soon Do Something He’s Never Done Before
Snoopy. Maggie Simpson. Tinkerbell. Some characters are the strong silent type. Since his screen debut in Transformers, that has included Bumblebee. Until now.
The kindly yellow Transformer will get his own voice in standalone film Bumblebee. Until now, the shy alien has only communicated via a radio so far, but never actually spoken in his own voice. Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura revealed to IGN that not only would Bumblebee be shaking out those vocal cords,
Two Characters We Love Could Be Reuniting in Marvel Streaming Series
We may have reached the end of some of the Avengers’ stories, but that does not mean we have seen their whole story. Avengers: Infinity War was, needless to say, a shock. We came so far and fought so long alongside characters that were suddenly gone. Among the most devastating losses was Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) who was willing to sacrifice so much in vain. Luckily, that TV series on Disney+ starring the heroine has been confirmed and there may be more good news.
Behold David Ehrlich’s Epic Supercut of 2018’s Best Films
David Ehrlich has done it again. The maestro of the supercut is back with his always deeply satisfying year-end montage, connecting 25 of his year favorite films in one nearly 14-minute long video. Ehrlich’s supercuts are expertly edited, feature great music (a healthy dose A Star is Born‘s breakout star, a little-known musician named Lady Gaga, never hurts) and not only do they create pretty wonderful sequences from one film to another,
Massive Cache of New Aquaman Images Reveal Black Manta & More
We’re only a few short weeks away from the premiere of James Wan‘s epic Aquaman, and now Warner Bros. has released a massive trove of photos revealing Yahya Abdul-Mateen II’s Black Manta, the throne room of the Fisherman Kingdom and a whole lot more. The new images speak to early reactions of the film, which hail a swashbuckling epic that’s both ferociously entertaining and funny (with star Jason Momoa having the absolute time of his life).

The Russo Brothers Address Why Hulk Lost to Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War
When the Hulk wants to smash, there’s going to be some smashing. You can almost always count on it. Except when the thing he wants to smash is Thanos. The big green guy seems undefeatable, but his perfect record took a hit in Avengers: Infinity War. The Russo Brothers addressed the stunning defeat when asked by Collider.
Shortly into Infinity War, Thanos gets into a tussle with the strongest Avenger.
Early Reactions for Mary Poppins Returns Promises a Spirit-Lifting Sequel
Every sight, sound, and sneak peek of Mary Poppins Returns has indicated it is going to wrap everyone in a cotton candy cloud of joy and nostalgia and float us all away to the sky. However, you can never fully count on a confectionary cloud floating experience until it is confirmed by the critics. Consider it done. Disney held the magical premiere last night and early reviews report that the audience was completely enchanted.
Joe Russo Hints That Chris Evans’ Captain America Isn’t Finished After Avengers 4
The saga of whether Avengers 4 is the last we’ll see of Chris Evans’ Captain America continues! It was only a month and change ago that Evans revealed that Avengers 4 would be the last time he suited up as Cap, which made sense for a lot of reasons. Evans has put 8 years into the character, and with the MCU is shifting into new territory as Phase 4 officially begins next year,

If you loved the anime prequel to Blade Runner 2049, this one is for you. Adult Swim announced today they will air an entire animated series inspired by last year’s sequel to Blade Runner. Let the replicant mind games begin.
Remember when Denis Villeneuve released those three shorts to bridge the gap between Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049? The gorgeous, yet grisly Blade Runner: Black Out 2022 was a knockout and spellbinding to watch.
Humans Have No Power Over Beasts in New Godzilla: King of the Monsters Image
A lot of monsters think they are king. King Kong and King Ghidorah just to name a few. Can they defeat the great Godzilla, though? Classic rivals Rodan, Mothra, and King Ghidorah will have their chance to take the creature down in Godzilla: King of the Monsters. The film’s director is traveling back to where it all began and shared a brand-new image of Godzilla in action.

Miles Learns how to Sling Webs in new Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Clip

Yeah, people are enthused about this film.

The Russo Brothers Debunk Fan Theory That Would Save an Avengers Character
Obviously, the biggest shock of Avengers: Infinity War was the mass casualty caused by Thanos’ snap. However, those weren’t the only upsetting deaths of the film. What about heroes who were killed in a more flesh and blood way? We are still holding out hope for the obliterated to be resurrected, but is there hope we can see the others again? Apparently not in at least one case, according to the directors.

How Head Full of Honey Production Designer Isabel von Forster Creates a Beautiful Trip
A grandfather is losing his memory to Alzheimer’s, and the family member with the most patience and understanding for his gentle if frustrated, increasingly addled ways, is a child. It was the premise of actor-turned-director Til Schweiger’s 2014 German hit, Honig im Kopf, and four years later, he revisits the universal concept for Anglophone audiences in the homonymous Head Full of Honey.
Nick Nolte revives the role of Amadeus (in the original: Amandus,
The Game of Thrones Cast Filmed a Reunion in Belfast
Game of Thrones has seen a lot of characters come and go. (Season 1 spoilers) We were sad to see Ned Stark (Sean Bean) and Khal Drogo (Jason Momoa) bite the dust. However, all of our favorites are gone, but not forgotten. The final season is upon us this April, but the band all got back together. EW shared that a reunion special was filmed showing the, surely, emotional time that the cast all got back together.
New Toy Story 4 Poster Seems to Confirm Carnival Theme
Toys can get pretty expensive, but sometimes our best memories are with the cheap plush prizes we won at the fair. There is a Cookie Monster doll I won at age six that will live on in the infamy of my childhood. Pixar is apparently hoping that many people have similar memories. A new poster for Toy Story 4 suggests the sequel will have a carnival setting.
We already had an inkling that the toys would be heading to the fair.
