The First Photo of Shazam!‘s Kid Inside the Superhero

If you’re just as excited as I am for the release of Shazam!, then this is your lucky week. By now we have a solid image of our full grown superhero, Shazam (Zachary Levi), we know more about the exciting storyline, and we’ve met the Wizard behind all the magic. But there’s one thing left we have yet to see: Shazam’s alter ego, normal 14-year-old Billy Batson (Asher Angel).

CW Planning a Batwoman TV Series With Groundbreaking Lesbian Superhero

History is close to being made on the small screen.

New Mission: Impossible – Fallout Stunt Reel Revels in Lunacy

Fallout has the most stunts in the history of the Mission: Impossible franchise. The reason why that’s a record is because no major film franchise has had more stunts per movie than Mission: Impossible, period. From Brian De Palma’s crackerjack 1996 opener to Christoper McQuarrie’s 2015 humdinger Ghost Protocol, Mission: Impossible has always taken its title very seriously. Now with McQuarrie becoming the first director to return to the series,

Robin Hood Learns His Famous Archery from the Best in New Trailer

Taron Egerton is learning his fighting chops just like in Kingsman: The Secret Service, but this time, he has to jump back several centuries to do it.

The most recent take on the legend looks not quite as grave as the 2010 feature with Russell Crowe and not quite as zany as 1993’s spoofy Robin Hood: Men in Tights. The second trailer feels totally different, actually, promising an action-packed origin story with enough comedic relief to let viewers catch a breath.

The Beast is Back in First Glass Teaser

Glass, Beast, and Dunn walk into a room together. Who comes out? The incredible new images from Glass show the stars of Unbreakable and Split all together in a joint therapy session with Dr. Ellie Staple (Sarah Paulson). Unbelievably, reluctant hero David Dunn (Bruce Willis) is the only one who is restrained.

The first teaser for Glass features the star of Split battling his alter-egos as everything begins to shatter.

Meet the Man Behind the Mustache in the New Bohemian Rhapsody Trailer

If you enjoy getting goosebumps, the new Bohemian Rhapsody trailer will deliver a delicious dose. If you don’t, watch it anyway, because a story this special is worth the suffering.

The second, more “official” look at the Freddie Mercury and Queen biodrama digs deeper than the first. It allows glimpses of the bisexual singer’s private life, from his early relationships to the realization that AIDS would cut his life tragically short.

Shazam! Gets Lit in New Photo Featuring that Super Suit

Just when we thought orphaned 14-year-old Freddy Freeman (Jack Dylan Grazer) could not get any more star struck with his best friend’s new super suit, the adult Billy Baston (Zachary Levi) reveals another cool feature. Entertainment Weekly’s newest official photo shows of more about what that stretchy, bright red super suit can actually do. The lightning bolt on his chest illuminates so bright it can probably be seen across town. It’s undeniably mesmerizing as Freddy found out.

See the Rise of Justice RBG in the First On the Basis of Sex Trailer

Not all heroes are Star Wars characters. Just ask Rogue One’s Felicity Jones. Jones plays Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a real life heroine, in On the Basis of Sex.

A woman as influential as Ginsburg probably stood out among her peers from the start, but it certainly wasn’t an easy road to the highest court in the land. The beginning of the freshly released On the Basis of Sex trailer really hammers that home.

Birds of Prey Characters Revealed for Margot Robbie’s All-Female Superhero Film

Margot Robbie’s Birds of Prey is the most intriguing of the upcoming standalone superhero films. While we’re very excited to see where Joaquin Phoenix takes the Joker, the idea of Robbie’s Harley Quinn headlining a film starring a slew of very tough women is tops on our list.

Timothée Chalamet in Talks to Star in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune Adaptation

This is one of those perfect potential marriages of director, actor and material. Arrival and Blade Runner 2049 visionary Denis Villeneuve is taking on a fresh adaptation of Frank Herbert’s legendary sci-fi novels (and subsequent 1984 David Lynch film) Dune. Now Deadline reports that Oscar-nominee Timothée Chalamet is in talks to star in the film. Chalamet had a monster 2017,

Steve Has a New Summer Job in First Stranger Things 3 Teaser

Remember malls? The place you went to show off your new perm, listen to your Walkman, and make out with your college boyfriend? Yah, me neither. I was ridiculously uncool in high school. Thankfully, Stranger Things is here to show us what the hippest spot in the center of the universe was doing in the mid-80s. A new mock-ad for Starcourt Mall! features American treasures like Wicks ‘n’ Sticks, Radio Shack, and Steve Harrington (Joe Keery).

Ruby Dreams of What Could Have Been in Heartbreaking The Darkest Minds Trailer

In an uncertain world, we could all use a good love story to get us through. The Darkest Minds is a bleak situation, but Liam (Harris Dickinson) tries to shed some light with an alternate reality. Boy meets girl at the beach is about the farthest possible situation from the post-apocalyptic world he inhabits, but a new trailer for The Darkest Minds stays hopeful.

Ever since an adolescent plague has wiped out nearly the entire children’s population in the world,

Marina Zenovich on Going Inside Robin Williams’ Mind in Her New HBO Doc

In making Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind, premiering July 16 on HBO, director Marina Zenovich celebrates the life and comedic talent of the legendary performer who committed suicide in 2014, using Williams’s voice to tell much of his story as well as interviews with his first wife Valerie Velardi, son Zak Williams and many friends, including Mork & Mindy co-star Pam Dawber, David Letterman, Billy Crystal,

Interview

Actor

Ben Foster on his Moving Portrait of Fatherhood in Leave no Trace

In Leave No Trace, Ben Foster plays a man who’s fled American society, carrying just a few things with him — most significantly his teenage daughter, Tom (Thomasin McKenzie). Foster’s Will is apparently a military veteran, but writer-director Debra Granik never tells his story. The character seems a bit like a post-traumatic version of the violent men Foster has played in such movies as Hell or High Water.
