How the Cast of Spider-Man: Far From Home is Shaping Up

With Avengers: Infinity War (spoilers from which lie ahead) growing smaller in the rearview mirror (yet with Thanos’ power spilling outside of the film and into real life), Marvel Studios is hustling to begin production of one of the strangest-ever superhero flicks.

The primary reason the Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel is such an odd concept is that its titular hero is currently dead in the Marvel canon following Thanos’ decimation of the universe’s population.

Thanos’ Reign of Terror Has Reached Reddit

Dread him, run from him, you cannot escape him.

Just when you thought it was safe to get back on the Internet, the Mad Titan paid reddit a visit and continued his quest to eliminate half of the universe’s population. This time, however, he was preaching to the choir when he told his victims his nefarious plan.

The victim planet was no planet at all, but a subreddit: r/ThanosDidNothingWrong.

Peaky Blinders Creator Steven Knight on his BAFTA-Winning Crime Epic

Peaky Blinders beat The Crown in May to win England’s BAFTA Award for best television drama, but series creator Steven Knight won’t be shocked if his show fails to snag American kudos when Emmy nominations are announced Thursday. “Peaky Blinders doesn’t do the things that other shows do,” he says. “It took a long time to get our first BAFTA but audiences in Europe and America are loving Peaky.

Billy Dee Williams Returning as Lando Calrissian in Star Wars: Episode IX

It was only this past May we got to see Donald Glover as the young Lando Calrissian in Solo: A Star Wars StoryGlover was exceptional as the young, sartorially sagacious smuggler, and now The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that the man who made Lando a household name in the first place is returning to the Star Wars galaxy. Billy Dee Williams will be reprising his role as the man who gambled away the Millennium Falcon to Han Solo in J.J.

Logan Writer/Director James Mangold Sends Message to Toxic Fandoms on Twitter

The greatest thing about the movie industry is the passion that its diverse stories instill in fans. From Star Wars and the MCU to Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings, the rich universes created by writers and filmmakers can keep the fire of fandom blazing for decades. Sometimes, however, that passion is misdirected into anger and backlash towards creatives who have different visions for a series than some fans do.

New Image From The Predator Reveals Biggest, Meanest Alien Monster Yet

In Shane Black’s upcoming The Predator, it turns out the classic, dreadlock-wearing alien monster has taken on a new form. Granted, the iconic dreads and overall look remain somewhat the same, but the new monster is much bigger, so much so that in the last trailer we saw it tear a regular-sized predator to shreds. Now Empire Magazine has the first good look at the new beast,

Witness the Madness of the Court in Debut Trailer for The Favourite

Forget the Mad King of Game of Thrones and The Crown’s stalwart Elizabeth II. There’s new royalty in town, and she’s losing her mind and having a splendid time doing it in the first teaser trailer for The Favourite.

During one of the numerous wars between England and France, Olivia Colman plays Queen Anne, an unstable matriarch whose court looks as insane as she may be turning.

Kevin Feige Reveals Captain Marvel Will Use Digital De-Aging for Familiar Characters

Captain Marvel will finally introduce us to Brie Larson as Carol Danvers. She’s one of the most exciting new additions to the MCU on the horizon, but she’ll share the screen with some familiar faces. Captain Marvel is set in the 1990s allowing for S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) to appear in the film nearly 20 years prior to Loki killing Coulson in The Avengers.

Meet the Mission: Impossible – Fallout Characters in New Behind the Scenes Clip

The more I see of Henry Cavill’s menacing August Walker and his famed mustache, the more I’d rather be jumping out of a window with Tom Cruise than facing him in hand-to-hand combat.

With less than three weeks until Cruise’s sixth Mission: Impossible movie drops, that mustache—I mean man—is becoming a bit less mysterious. In a new behind the scenes featurette, Cavill and other big names behind the project introduce their characters and size up the conflicts that are bound to arise when they’re all thrown together.

Maisie Williams Says Goodbye to Arya With Bloody Photo From Game of Thrones‘ Final Season

What does it mean, Maisie? As one of Game of Thrones most potent characters, Arya Stark, Maisie Williams has played the youngest surviving Stark child since she was only 14 years old. Now 21, Williams is wrapping up her epic portrayal of Arya as Game of Thrones finishes up filming its eighth and final season (until those prequels, of course).

Brie Larson Shares Photo From Final Day of Filming on Captain Marvel

The last time we got a look at anything Captain Marvel related, it was during that epic, heartbreaking post credits scene in Avengers: Infinity War. You remember the moment, arguably the most haunting introduction of a superhero in Marvel history. While we won’t know for sure if Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel can raise the dead and save the world from Thanos in Avengers 4 until May 3,

Succession Creator Dissects the Family Squabbles of the Mega Rich

Family dynamics are difficult enough to navigate under the most mundane of circumstances. Factoring in massive sums of money, dizzying power and toxic levels of sibling rivalry, what could possibly go wrong? HBO‘s big business melodrama Succession offers some twisty-turny answers as it examines the warping effect of inherited wealth as filtered through the wife and offspring of wily media mogul Logan Roy (Brian Cox). Airing on Sundays, the limited series tracks the machinations of young adults (Jeremy Strong,

Keri Russell Headed to a Galaxy Far, Far Away for Star Wars: Episode IX

Keri Russell was looking for work after her mega-hit show, The Americans, wrapped this spring. Turns out she didn’t have to wait too long for the next great gig. Variety reports that Russell has signed onto Star Wars: Episode IX.

Star Wars has gotten into the habit of snapping up some of our favorite leading ladies. Lupita Nyong’o played the delightfully eccentric Maz Kanata in The Force Awakens.

The Meg Sinks Its Teeth Into Everything in Sight in New Clip

If your weekend plans include a visit to the beach, this new teaser for The Meg might make you think about relocating your summer fun to dry land. The first trailer lightened things up with some laughs, but there’s no relief here. Just relentless pursuit from the bloodthirsty prehistoric shark.

The short spot is low on plot but filled with action. As the super shark begins to attack, the teaser suggests the best way to avoid becoming an ocean snack is to “swim faster.” I am admittedly not a marine biologist,

Sorry to Bother You’s Costume Designer Deirdra Govan’s Vintage Vision

Boots Riley’s Sorry to Bother You is a revelation. It’s usually a cliché to say “you won’t see another film like it this year,” but you won’t see another film like it this year. Or next year. Or, likely, the year after that. There’s a reason Sorry to Bother You took years to make, even though everyone who read the script fell in love with it—when you go this far afield from what people expect,

Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon Make a Surprising Getaway in The Spy Who Dumped Me Clip

Any movie starring Kate McKinnon has “hidden summer gem” written all over it. We were excited when the trailer for The Spy Who Dumped Me dropped this spring. Now a new clip gives us an amusing amuse bouche of the kind of funny we’ll be seeing. Basically, it’s really relatable characters in unrelatable situations. (Watch out, this clip is NSFW. Or, at least put your headphones in.)

Ant-Man and the Wasp Show Off Their Powers in New Featurette

Superhero films are inherently a little goofy. Adults wearing costumes could easily be laughable, but it’s a central point to Ant-Man and the Wasp as the suits are what allows them to fight crime. It is a wackier premise than most, but somehow, they seem to tap into that Marvel magic to make it totally fun. Being able to shrink to the size of an insect doesn’t seem as useful as super strength or an obedient hammer.

Writer/Director Boots Riley on his Staggeringly Original Sorry to Bother You

Sorry To Bother You is coming to a theater near you, courtesy of Annapurna Pictures, after being one of the most buzzed about films shown at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.

The directorial debut from Boots Riley, articulate troublemaker and frontman for the band The Coup, has had a bumpy but fascinating road making it to the screen. This satiric, decidedly trippy film is about a young, seemingly malleable telemarketer named Cassius Green (Lakeith Stanfield) and his girlfriend,
