The Wasp is a Marvel Legacy Character and Finally her Time has Come
Did you know that the Wasp is on the very first cover of “Avengers #1”? Published on September 10 in 1963, the Jack Kirby designed introduction to the super team included five superheroes—Thor, Ant-Man, Hulk, Iron Man, and yup—the Wasp. Never mind how hokey Iron Man looks and how Frankenstein Monster’s Hulk looks, this is where it all started, and the Wasp was there from the very beginning. You’ll see her right by Thor’s right shin.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Has a Script, Rough Schedule
The motliest crew that listens to Mötley Crüe is coming back for a probable 2020 release, but pre-production of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 looks like it’s right around the corner.

Chucky Creator Confirms Child’s Play TV Show
The big screen’s iconic killer doll just found a new medium from which to terrorize audiences, so maybe we will really get to be friends forever. Or at least as long as the show runs.
With horror narratives like Bates Motel, Hannibal, Grimm, and The Strain all finished, it feels like there’s a lull in television horror series.
Dwayne Johnson Shares a 3,000 Foot View of Skyscraper
Costars Dwayne Johnson and Neve Campbell, along with director Rawson Marshall Thurber, dish on how their upcoming blockbuster Skyscraper is changing the game in this new featurette.
“Will Sawyer is a special character because when we meet him, he’s an amputee, and he’s just trying to put his life back together, and the guy’s struggling,” Johnson says about his upcoming role. The actor has publicly shown how seriously he is taking playing an amputee,
New Ant-Man and the Wasp Images Reveal the Ghost, Wasp and Giant-Man
We’re looking forward to Ant-Man and the Wasp in major way. After the bitter shot that was Avengers: Infinity War, Peyton Reed’s film is the chaser we all need. The first Marvel movie since Thanos snapped his fingers and re-ordered the MCU, Ant-Man and the Wasp promises to be a lighter, more effervescent affair. This doesn’t mean it won’t have stakes, and it also looks like it’ll be the third Marvel film in a row with a great villain.
The Powerful The Hate U Give Trailer Reveals First Look at YA Adaptation
The Hate U Give is not your average teen movie. While on the surface it seems like the story of Starr Carter (Amandla Stenberg) is relatively straight forward high school movie, the film is a whole lot deeper than that. Starr is a fun-loving high school girl who lives something of a double life. During the week, she attends a prep school where she hangs out with her rich, white friends. During the weekend,
New Justice League Footage on Display in Wild new VFX Reel
An extra shot of Wonder Woman, new color schemes, and more are on display in Scanline VFX’s reel of the work they did on Justice League.

Tom Holland Reveals Spider-Man: Homecoming Sequel Title
Look, if James Gunn can still make Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 after the events of Avengers: Infinity War, then Tom Holland can still star in the Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel. Despite the cataclysmic events brought on by Thanos, you can still look forward to seeing Holland as Peter Parker in the upcoming film. The young star took to Instagram to reveal the film’s title,
Avengers: Infinity War Cast Didn’t Know About Ending Until Day of Shooting
We’ve written a lot about the infamous ending to Avengers: Infinity War, but this might be the wildest thing we’ve heard yet. Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch) was at Ace Comic-Con in Seattle this past weekend and revealed that the cast had no idea about how the film would end until the day of filming. Olsen and her fellow cast mates were told by the Russo Brothers—while they were all stuffed into a van (H/t ScreenRant):
“I found out from the Russos exactly what was going to happen and it wasn’t until we shot it on that day we learned what the ending was.
Daria Reboot Among Planned Programs for MTV Studios Launch
Sometimes, to make the present better, you have to go back in time. Which is exactly what MTV is doing with a planned Daria reboot.
In a world where some reboots can feel like cash grabs, Daria is a refreshing, if unexpected, title to bring back to life. The new Daria show, if picked up by a third party like Amazon, Hulu, or Netflix, will be joined by Aeon Flux and The Real World reboots.

Rian Johnson Reacts to Calls to Remake The Last Jedi
There’s a growing movement to remake Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and the Episode VIII director, Rian Johnson, seems to be on board with the idea.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Introduces the Most Sinister Dinosaur Yet
I am fascinated by the perpetual currency of Jurassic Park. We know the premise: man creates dinosaur, dinosaur eats man. We are five films deep into this thing, but I have not tired of it yet. One film ends and I leave satisfied thinking we have reached the peak of raptors running amok. Then comes the next and the question must be answered: how can we make this worse? Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom does just that in some surprising ways without jumping the shark.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’s Production Designer Takes on the Indoraptor
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom boasts more dinosaurs than any previous film in the Jurassic franchise—combined. While prehistoric mayhem set in the present is precisely what Jurassic fans expect, it’s a major challenge for the film crew. This was especially true for production designer Andy Nicholson, who was tasked with creating a literal house of horrors for director J.A. Bayona. With the action in Fallen Kingdom moving from Isla Nublar to the mainland,
Preacher Showrunner Sam Catlin on Grandma Driving Season 3’s Insane Misadventures
It had to happen eventually, according to showrunner Sam Catlin, so Preacher Season 3 begins this Sunday, June 24, at the creepy Angelville plantation ruled by the terrifying spell-caster known as “Grandma.” Fans of the comic book source material figured the matriarch would show up at some point, but they didn’t expect her to be portrayed by Betty Buckley, the Broadway musical icon. “Betty‘s got this great authority and her audition was incredible,”
Hannah John-Kamen is Rewriting Comic History as Ghost in Ant-Man and the Wasp
Women rule the MCU. Well, maybe not yet, but the tide is turning. The entire first phase of Marvel films was dominated by male superheroes and male villains. Since then, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, Gamora, and more have joined the ranks. Captain Marvel will feature the first woman to headline a solo Marvel film. But before that, Ant-Man and the Wasp will face a female foe this summer in Ghost.
Hannah John-Kamen spoke with /Film about the mysterious villain.

Ocean’s 8, Warner Bros.’ all-female crime caper headlined by Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Sarah Paulson, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Helena Bonham Carter, Rihanna and Awkwafina, has arguably been one of the most anticipated films of summer 2018.
