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, 2019, we will be seeing Larson’s embodiment of Marvel’s most potent superhero sooner than that. ...

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,...

Ant-Man and the Wasp‘s Costume Designer Explains Insect Couture

British costume designer Louise Frogley spent the first 35 years of her career focused on Steven Soderbergh and George Clooney movies like Traffic and Good Night, and Good Luck. In 2013 she got her first taste of the Marvel Cinematic Universe via Iron Man 3, followed by the re-booted Spider-Man: Homecoming. Now she’s taken on the skin-tight couture featured in Ant-Man and The Wasp. “When you design costumes for a Marvel movie It’s very technical,...

Jennifer Morrison On How Acting Prepared Her for Her Moving Directorial Debut Sun Dogs

Jennifer Morrison has created some of the most lovable characters on film. Dr. Allison Cameron in House, Emma Swan in Once Upon a Time, and Winona Kirk in Star Trek are all strong and captivating women we love to watch on screen. Now, Morrison is shaping compelling new characters from behind the lens in her feature film directorial debut Sun Dogs.

Now on Netflix, Sun Dogs follows Ned Chipley (Michael Angarano) in his misguided attempts to become a national hero...

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.)

James Bond or Ethan Hunt might have a crazy trick up their sleeve to evade their villainous foes,...

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. Yet,...

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,...

Jimi Hendrix-Style Cello Hybrid Defines Sicario: Day of the Soldado‘s Brooding Score

Icelandic musician Hildur Guðnadóttir was all over the first Sicario movie: She played the cello throughout the Oscar-nominated score written by her longtime collaborator Jóhann Jóhannsson. He died suddenly this winter. For the sequel Sicario: Day of the Soldado, Guðnadóttir scored the picture herself, but this time around, she cranked up the sense of menace by playing a one-of-a-kind instrument dubbed the “dorophone.” “It’s based on a cello, and basically this electro-acoustic feedback monster which has really become main instrument these days,”...

Cruise and Cavill Take Out Their Workplace Tension in New Mission: Impossible – Fallout Teaser

Tom Cruise is unstoppable. Neither Henry Cavill nor Henry Cavill’s sentient mustache can get the better of him. A new action-packed morsel showing off the greatest hits – literally – from Mission: Impossible – Fallout features Ethan Hunt (Cruise) and August Walker (Cavill) duking it out. Of course, Ethan always gets the last punch.

The short clip explains where August comes into the mix. Even though Ethan has really proven his stripes, the good people at IMF still don’t trust him...

How Director Kevin Macdonald Uncovered Bombshell Allegations in his Whitney Houston Doc

Before he shot Whitney, Scottish documentarian Kevin Macdonald did not consider himself a particularly avid Whitney Houston fan. The Oscar-winning director (One Day in September) preferred The Clash back in the day when Houston dominated pop music with her unmatched vocal power. “I was not into that kind of mainstream poppiness,” he says. “At the time you couldn’t avoid her music, but it was kind of unhip to like Whitney Houston.”...

Meet Debut Director Boots Riley in New Sorry to Bother You Featurette

Sorry to Bother You, the directorial debut from hip-hop artist Boots Riley, has had comedy fans buzzing since its screening at January’s Sundance Film Festival. The movie follows a telemarketer played by Lakeith Stanfield (Get Out, Atlanta) who stumbles upon his key to success in the corporate world: his perfect-for-sales “white voice,” which is comically dubbed over Stanfield’s own voice by David Cross. Tessa Thompson (Westworld,...

New A-Force Fan Art Boasts the MCU’s Most Powerful Women

Even if Thanos wiped out every single male character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we’d still be in good hands.

Meeting the rising demand for female-driven narratives, Marvel Comics introduced the A-Force in 2015. The all-female team of Avengers debuted in the Secret Wars storyline and, sadly, only lasted a year and some months due to poor sales. But just because the idea didn’t flourish in the comics world doesn’t mean it couldn’t in the MCU,...

Good Skin and the ‘Western Squint’ Give Godless a Natural Look

Since the dawn of cinema, and on radio before it, lawless battles of good and evil on a new frontier have captured audiences. Then, Godless offered something entirely new in the grief-stricken community of La Belle, New Mexico. A town with a nearly all-female population, following a town tragedy, becomes caught in the crossfire of rival outlaws and they prove to be even stronger than their male aggressors. Godless makeup designer Tarra Day has worked on all manner of Westerns including Appaloosa,...

There May Be More to Rey & Kylo Ren’s Connection Than we Thought

You’d think that, after seven months, a movie with a fandom like Star Wars: The Last Jedi would have been mined for every possible Easter Egg, every hint of lore, and every hidden indication of what’s going to come next. And you’d be wrong.

With social media, fans are able to construct and discuss theories with huge numbers of other fans at ease, and Reddit is perhaps the hotbed of this when it comes to fandoms like that of Star Wars...

Kevin Feige Believes Black Panther is Oscar Worthy (in Nearly Every Category)

Superhero movies typically don’t garner much love at the Oscars. Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy was an exception, with his 2009 The Dark Knight garnering eight Oscar nominations, winning two (best supporting actor for the late Heath Ledger and best sound editing for Richard King.) If there was ever a superhero film that was going to give The Dark Night a run for its money, it’s Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther. But don’t take just our word for it,...

The Losers’ Club Unites as Adults in First It: Chapter Two Cast Photo

We couldn’t believe what we were reading when the casting news for the It sequel began to roll out, but seeing is believing. Now we can bask in the image of the adult cast in all its glory.

The casting team behind the project at Warner Bros. have made yet another argument for why there should be an Oscar for Best Ensemble Cast. The old and grown Losers’ Club is pictured in the new photo,...

Wasp and Ghost Square Off in New Ant-Man and the Wasp Clip

The power of Marvel’s newest female forces is on full display as the countdown to release hits four days.

Suggestions that the MCU’s twentieth feature, Ant-Man and the Wasp, will place a heavy emphasis on the latter character have been around since the film’s announcement. With each new trailer and featurette, those claims appear to be true. The Wasp (Evangeline Lilly) has been front and center in much of the footage, confirming that she is not a sidekick,...
