Watch How the Black Panther Makeup Team Applied Thousand of Prosthetics to Michael B. Jordan’s Body
Last month, special effects makeup guru Joel Harlow gave us the inside scoop on all of his magnificent designs for Black Panther. Harlow tackled extremely unique challenges that pushed the boundaries of traditional makeup design. His tasks ranged from creating Erik Killmonger’s (Michael B. Jordan) scars, accessories for Shuri (Letitia Wright), and the lip plates of the Mursi inspired River Tribe. We got all the details from Harlow about the painstaking process for creating and applying the prosthetics,
17 New Images From Avengers: Infinity War Highlight the Mad Titan’s Psychopathic Soul
We’ve published interviews with three of Avengers: Infinity War‘s incredibly talented crew today: production designer Charles Wood, VFX supervisor Kelly Port and supervising art director Raymond Chan. Now that Marvel has lifted the embargo on these behind-the-scenes profiles, we’ve been finding out just how the hugely talented crew helped directors Joe and Anthony Russo create this historic film. If you haven’t seen Infinity War yet,
How Avengers: Infinity War‘s VFX Supervisor Created Thanos, Marvel’s Biggest, Baddest Villain Ever
Avengers: Infinity War, the biggest movie in history, found its CGI footing through the collective efforts of 11 different VFX outfits. Visual effects supervisor Kelly Port succinctly sums up the focus for his team at the Los Angeles-based Digital Domain company. Port says, “Basically, all the super depressing scenes were us.” He jokes, “It’s like ‘For the next one, give us something funny to do please,’ because these were really heavy scenes.”
The Supervising Art Director for Avengers: Infinity Wars on Mixing Many Worlds
At two-and-half-hours, Avengers: Infinity War might scare off superhero-movie detractors, and that would be too bad. Though most Marvel titles at least attempt to inject humor into their scripts for broader appeal, the jokes in Infinity Wars always land, no matter where that land might be. In Anthony and Joe Russo’s mega-blockbuster, most of the Marvel universe comes together to fight Thanos (Josh Brolin), a suddenly emotionally complex giant on a complicated mission he believes to be essentially good: population control.
Avengers: Infinity War‘s Production Designer on Helping Build the Film’s Heartbreaking Drama
By now, audiences have gotten to know the newly complex Marvel villain Thanos (Josh Brolin), thwarter of the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and Wakandans, the soulful psychopath who has haunted the Marvel Cinematic Universe practically from its inception. The third film in Disney’s Avengers franchise (and the 19th in the MCU), Avengers: Infinity War, is setting both box office records and (spoiler alert) records for how many beloved main characters can be killed off — at least seemingly so — in one 2.5 hour stretch.
Nailing the “Regular People Look” on Tully
For Jason Reitman’s new movie Tully (opening Friday), Charlize Theron gained 50 pounds to play Marlo, the bedraggled mother of three. By design, Marlo’s unkempt house reflects a character who’s way too exhausted to keep the place looking neat and tidy. Canadian production designer Anastasia Masaro explains the backstory. “Marlo’s home is meant to feel like she and her husband bought the house when their first kid was on the way and they really meant to fix it up.”
Watch the Moment Han Wins the Millennium Falcon From Lando & More in 2 New Solo Clips
Star Wars Day is always special, especially when it falls on a Friday. Today’s already been a great one, thanks to Lucasfilm releasing a bunch of new Solo: A Star Wars Story photos and clips. One of these clips isn’t your typical brief sequence from the upcoming film, but rather a 360º video in which you’re in control of what you see. This means you’ll be the young Han (Alden Ehrenreich) and get to gamble for the Millennium Falcon.
Black Panther Deleted Scene Shows a Touching Moment With a Young T’Challa
When you’re working with a great script and great actors, a director’s job is made much easier, with one caveat—you’re going to have to cut scenes you love. This was clearly the case for Ryan Coogler, Black Panther‘s co-writer and director. Earlier this week, we shared this moving deleted scene between Danai Gurira’s Okoye and Daniel Kaluuya’s W’Kabi, in which the married couple (which was revealed in the scene) were fighting about what to do after T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman)’s apparent death at the hands of Erik Killmonger (Michael B.

Every May 4th we join in the global celebration of Star Wars day. Today, we get to do it in style—with new images from Ron Howard’s Solo: A Star Wars Story. There’s been a wonderful glut of Solo material this week, including this awesome video revealing how big of a diva Chewie is, Ron Howard giving Star Wars: A New Hope the Arrested Development treatment,
Avengers: Infinity War: Did Thanos Kill You?
You’ve likely heard by now about the new website called “Did Thanos Kill Me?” It’s a simple question, one that’s (spoiler alert) very reasonable to ask after the events of Avengers: Infinity War, in which the Mad Titan successfully tracked down all of the Infinity Stones (in the process killing some of our favorite characters) and then killed half the universe. Did he kill you, too?
Avengers: Infinity War: We Need to Talk About the Hulk
So you’ve seen Avengers: Infinity War. Right? If you haven’t, spoiler alert. Just go ahead and stop reading. Still here? Great, because we need to talk about the Hulk. First, let’s reflect on this image that Marvel Studios provided during the run-up to the film:
You’ll see the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) joining his comrades in the battle of Wakanda against Thanos (Josh Brolin)’s army. Yet this scene never happened this way in the movie.
Zazie Beetz’s Domino Dominates the First Deadpool 2 Clip
Yup, we were right—today really is Deadpool 2 day. We shared the new photos, we shared this insane Deadpool 2 music video featuring Celine Dion, and now we’re sharing the first clip from the film, which highlights newcomer Zazie Beetz as the luckiest new member of Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds)’s new X-Force.
Here’s the gist for you Deadpool 2 novices: the sequel is centered on Deadpool being prodded by Vanessa (Morena Baccarin) into protecting a mysterious kid named Russell (Julian Dennison) from Cable (Josh Brolin),
An Anonymous Robin Hood Fights Corruption Up Close in First Trailer
Robin Hood eventually became an outlaw, stealing from the rich to give to the poor. A noble endeavor to be sure, but he had to start somewhere. The first trailer for Otto Bathurst’s Robin Hood origin story reveals the legend actually started his fight right under his enemy’s nose.
Taron Egerton plays Robin of Loxley, and aristocrat by day who fights corruption at night. He actually has close contact with the Sheriff of Nottingham (Ben Mendelsohn),
Chewbacca’s Solo: A Star Wars Story Costars Reveal He’s Difficult to Work With
Some people, like Queen Celine, give the word ‘diva’ a good name. Others, not so much. Chewbacca seems to be running the set of Solo: A Star Wars Story and causing his costars grief.
The filmmakers are doubling down on treating Chewbacca as a real Wookie, although he is actually played by Joonas Suotamo. Recent posters of Han’s best bud did not credit the actor adding to Chewie’s mystique.
Super Friends (and Enemies) Highlight New Deadpool 2 Images
It appears to be Deadpool day. Earlier, we shared this no brainer collaboration between—wait for it—Celine Dion and Deadpool 2. This is the union of two megastars we’ve been waiting for. Okay, one megastar, and one, um, mouthy superhero. The music video debuted on Good Morning America, with Celine belting out her song “Ashes” while clips from Deadpool 2 play in slow motion.
This Dramatic New Deadpool 2 Song Will Tear Your Heart Apart
‘My Heart Will Go On’ is nothing to us now. Celine Dion has released her latest mega-hit single ‘Ashes’ and it is incredible. The power, the passion, the Deadpool in heels. You read that right. Dion has moved on from her definitive Titanic theme song to a new movie, Deadpool 2. And it is literally too good.
This combination is so so so wrong that it’s absolutely right. The music video for the new song debuted on Good Morning America today and it’s so bizarre we want to laugh.
Things Get Complicated for Anna Kendrick & Blake Lively in A Simple Favor Trailer

This sense of Emily’s core distance is amplified when she goes missing,
Solo Director Ron Howard Gives Star Wars the Arrested Development Treatment
Ever since Ron Howard stepped in to direct Solo: A Star Wars Story, the affable veteran has proven time and time again to be the film’s best pitchman. Not only has he shared a ton of juicy tidbits during production, he’s now gifted us with this hilarious Arrested Development/Star Wars mash-up. In the Oscar-winning director’s long and varied career, when he turned up as the narrator on the beloved Arrested Development he captured a whole new generation of admirers.
Tour the Millennium Falcon With Donald Glover in new Solo: A Star Wars Story Featurette
The Millennium Falcon is making the rounds today. Earlier, we published this look at a new Solo: A Star Wars Story TV spot that was a great spotlight for the most iconic ship in the galaxy. Now, a new featurette featuring none other than Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover) himself takes you on the tour of the Corellian YT-1300f light freighter. Keep in mind, the Falcon was Lando‘s ship long before Han and Chewie made it into the most famous smuggling vessel in the galaxy.
