How the Crazy Rich Asians Editor Helps Us Navigate the World of Singapore’s Elite

Crazy Rich Asians hinges on dynamics. The complicated web of relationships will either catch true love or tangle the unsuspecting couple. Rachel (Constance Wu) gets off to a rocky start with her boyfriend’s mother (Michelle Yeoh), but there are even more delicate power struggles within the family. In the elite Singapore circles of Crazy Rich Asians, a look, a gesture, or even a flower can be a symbol of judgment.

Dwayne Johnson Reveals First Image From Hobbs and Shaw

Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham are bringing their shiny domes and their hardest stares to this new photo from the set of Hobbs and Shaw. Johnson shared the image on his always reliably revealing Instagram feed, where the two Fate of the Furious stars are locked into the world’s most aggressive stare contest in their spinoff adventure. Just in the past year we’ve seen Johnson hold the screen with a giant ape and a flying wolf,

The Star Wars TV Series Title & Synopsis Have Been Revealed

The Star Wars TV series has its title and a synopsis. Iron Man and The Jungle Book director Jon Favreau (as well as Solo: A Star Wars Story actor), your producer and writer on the new Star Wars TV series, has revealed our first major details on Instagram. The series will be titled The Mandalorian,

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Drops Witchy New Trailer

Turning sixteen has long been a threshold for teenagers, the moment when you start to exert more independence (and, if you play your cards right, your driver’s license) and become your own person. For Sabrina (Kiernan Shipka), the titular star of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, turning sixteen means deciding between the mortal world and the witch world, and the consequences of this decision are a little more severe than anything your average sixteen-year-old has to face.

What Dropping X-Men From the Title Reveals About Dark Phoenix

Right up until we saw the first trailer for Dark Phoenix, the title of the film wasn’t officially announced. There was speculation as to whether it would include the prefix ‘X-Men’ as its predecessors had. Previous stories from the universe include X-Men: Apocalypse and X-Men: Days of Future Past. Dark Phoenix will fall in that arc with several of the cast returning.

CBS Reveals the First Look at the Set of The Twilight Zone

Sixty years after The Twilight Zone first made contact with our world, the portal is opening once again. This time, it may be opening for you. The classic anthology series about a normal day that slips into the supernatural is returning to CBS. If you own every episode on DVD as I do, you’ll remember the pauses for ‘station identification’ followed by the CBS logo. You can now revisit all of the classics on CBS All Access and the station announced yesterday that production has begun on the Jordan Peele reboot.

Christian Bale is Unrecognizable as Dick Cheney in First Vice Trailer

The first trailer for Adam McKay (The Big Short)’s Vice has just dropped, starring Christian Bale as Dick Cheney, the most powerful Vice President in the history of the United States. You can say that sort of thing without it coming off as hyperbole when it comes to Cheney, and in McKay’s hands, re-teaming with his Big Short star Bale, you can now count Vice as one of this year’s most intriguing projects.

Sylvester Stallone is a Cowboy in First Photo From Rambo 5

John Rambo has clearly been trying to lead the simple life these past few years. It was a decade ago when we last saw him in Rambo (technically Rambo 4) when he joined a group of mercenaries and plunged into war-torn Burma to rescue some Christian aid workers. Consider that this all happened 26-years after we met him in First Blood, as a Vietnam veteran forced to use his combat skills to fight off a bunch of bad guys who made the mistake of menacing him in some mountains.

Ansel Elgort to Star in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story Adaptation

Ansel Elgort proved he had some moves in Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver. The lanky star was shaking his hips in the very opening seconds of the film, and now he’ll be dong a whole lot more than that after nabbing a huge role that requires a lot of fancy footwork. Elgort will be starring in Steven Spielberg‘s remake of the Stephen Sondheim musical, West Side Story, adapted by Tony Kushner.

This new Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Trailer is Stunning

If you aren’t up to speed on Sony Pictures’ animated feature Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, this brand new trailer should set you straight. The film centers on Miles Morales (voiced by The Get Down‘s Shameik Moore) who ultimately becomes Spider-Man. As the film’s title indicates, however, this isn’t your usual origin story; Morales discovers a multiverse that’s home to multiple Spider-Men, which gives this film its surreal and gorgeous visual style,

Watch Evangeline Lilly Rock a Fight Scene in new Ant-Man and the Wasp Clip

While Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel is understandably a huge focus for fans thrilled that the MCU finally has a female superhero fronting a film, let’s not forget Evangeline Lilly‘s Wasp was the first to get title billing. What’s more, her Hope van Dyne/Wasp proved in Ant-Man and the Wasp to be one of the most exciting new(ish) members of the MCU. Lilly wasn’t only utterly credible as a ferocious fighter in her own right,

The First Hellboy Poster is Pure Fire

Neil Marshall’s upcoming Hellboy sure looks cool. A new poster released by Lionsgate shows Stranger Things‘ David Harbour as the titular demon with a heart of gold, in a reboot of a character made famous by writer/director Guillermo del Toro and star Ron Perlman in two very good movies, from 2004 and 2008 respectively. Created by Mike Mignola, it’s easy to see why Hellboy has been such a draw for talented filmmakers—this big galoot was born for the big screen.

Batman Would Not Have Survived Zach Snyder’s Justice League Arc

This year, we have had to get used to the idea of losing some of our most beloved superheroes. Although Batman has some powerful enemies, and a lot of them, he seems to be fairly invincible. He’s not supernaturally endowed with extraordinary abilities, but he still seems to avoid death with his strength, cunning, and technology. However, if Zack Snyder had his way, the Caped Crusader would finally meet his end in the DCEU.

Jennifer Beals Will Play an Original Character on DC’s Swamp Thing

The Swamp Thing better watch its slimy back. There’s a badass sheriff in town looking to take down anyone who threatens the peace. DC announced that Jennifer Beals has joined Swamp Thing as Sheriff Lucilia Cable and she joins a cast of strong female leads.

Crystal Reed and Maria Sten have already been cast on the series. The watery monster has not yet been announced, suggesting an emphasis on the strong women in the town.

Black Mirror May Let you Choose Your Own Ending

If there were a single television series you could pick to attempt a “choose your own ending” gambit, we can’t think of a better option than Black Mirror. Charlie Booker‘s consistently brilliant, often terrifying sci-fi techno-horror series has delivered some of the most shocking endings on TV in the last four years; offering viewers a chance to steer a character out of (or deeper into) one of Black Mirror‘s nightmares has a ton of potential.

What the Cracks in Jean Gray’s Face Mean in the Dark Phoenix Trailer

The first trailer for Simon Kinberg’s Dark Phoenix did a great job reminding us why the X-Men were the gold standard for superhero films for a long time. The X-Men have been around on the big screen a lot longer than the Avengers, and unlike their superhero brethren, who have more or less been greeted by humanity as rock stars (Tony Stark), gods (Thor) and patriots (Captain America), the X-Men have long been outcasts.

Taron Egerton Rides the Wave of Fame as Elton John in First Rocketman Teaser

Elton John has written dozens of hits and enjoyed a smashing career lasting more than five decades. There is one song in particular, however, that is the focal point of an upcoming biopic about the musician’s life. Paramount released the first trailer for Rocketman today and it is a rock and roll spectacle.

Taron Egerton stars as the famous singer/songwriter and while it is not an obvious choice, it totally works here.

Tessa Thompson Just Confirmed Valkryie’s Fate After Infinity War

Valkryie fans, you can breathe now. The fate of Tessa Thompson’s butt-kicking, hard-drinking Asgardian has been a major question in the MCU ever since Thanos snapped half the universe out of existence in Infinity War. We were pretty certain Valkyrie survived the Thanos’ snap, but those were mostly assumptions. Now, we’ve got it from Thompson herself that Valkyrie survived the snap, and probably has a few things she’d like to say (and do) about it:

No,

Tom Hanks Slips into Mister Rogers’ Cardigan for New Film

One of the ‘nicest men in show business’ is playing an even nicer man in show business. Tom Hanks slipped into the famous Mr. Rogers sweater this week, and it is a warm hug for the soul. Sony Pictures released the first image of Hanks in character and it is a mash-up of two American treasures.

To hundreds of thousands of children, Fred Rogers was a warm and kind face on television amid the chaos of cartoons and even more harrowing adult programming.

The Fabled Haven Jean Grey Escapes to in Dark Phoenix

Even powerful mutants need a place to unwind. The X-Mansion is possibly the most famous location in the X-Men canon, but the first trailer for Dark Phoenix flashed an initial glimpse at a more peaceful setting. On a tiny island, Jean Grey (Sophie Turner) finds Magneto (Michael Fassbender) in a self-sustaining commune. Director Simon Kinberg recently spoke with Empire magazine and confirmed that oasis is exactly what it seems.
