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.

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.

Watch this Incredibly Potent Deleted Black Panther Scene

One of the most complex relationships in Black Panther was mostly only hinted at. We’re not talking about the love between T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) and Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o), or the Cain and Able like fury between Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) and T’Challa. We’re talking about the relationship between Okoye (Danai Gurira) and W’Kabi (Daniel Kaluuya).

In a new deleted scene revealed by USA Todayco-writer and director Ryan Coogler explains that Okoye,

Fresh Millennium Falcon Footage Highlights New Solo: A Star Wars Story TV Spot

Back in February we found out that Ron Howard’s Solo: A Star Wars Story would reveal a radically different Millennium FalconWhen we got our first peek at the Falcon in Solo teasers earlier this year, it looked sleeker than the “hunk of junk” we’d loved since 1977’s A New Hope. Our eyes weren’t deceiving us. Howard told Entertainment Weekly that there was a reason the most famous ship in the galaxy didn’t look quite the same,

The Gang Goes in Search of a Villain in First Teen Titans GO! to the Movies Trailer

We all feel overlooked sometimes, but imagine being the only superhero in Hollywood without a movie. Such is life for the Teen Titans, and they’re on a mission to land a movie deal of their own. In an ironic twist, this is the plot of Teen Titans GO! to the Movies, the superhero sidekick’s big screen debut. The first trailer is here and it’s filled with comedic moments, if not so much crimefighting.

Michael B. Jordan’s Failsafe Project Lands at Netflix

After the immensely long wait for Black Panther, Michael B. Jordan gave us the villain we all deserved. Erik Killmonger was powerful, ruthless, relentless, and his full body scars were intimidatingly cool. Sadly the character’s fate was sealed and it’s unlikely we’ll see him again, but luckily Jordan will be returning to the comic book realm. Netflix has picked up an adaptation of sci-fi thriller Failsafe with Jordan attached in the lead role,

The new Ant-Man and the Wasp Trailer is a Riot

We’ve been telling you how Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) is going to be the breakout star of Peyton Reed’s Ant-Man and the Wasp (she’s in the title, after all). Yet why take our word for it when it’s made clear in this new trailer? Lilly’s Wasp is the first female superhero to appear in the title of an MCU film, and its’ her quest—to find her mother, Janet (Michelle Pfeiffer)—that provides the film it’s narrative thrust.

The Music of Lizzie Strikes a Sympathetic Tone for the Famous Killer

The four-line Lizzie Borden rhyme is graphic, if not particularly sympathetic. A woman commits a double homicide and the victims are her own parents. The real Borden was acquitted of the 1892 murders, but her legacy was condemned to the role of cold-blooded killer. Sundance selection Lizzie, starring Chloë Sevigny and Kristen Stewart, revisited the infamous crime with a compassion for Borden and explored the motivation that drove her to pick up the axe.

RBG Co-Directors/Producers on Their Groundbreaking Subject – Part 2

In Part 2 of our two-part interview with Betsy West and Julie Cohen, the filmmaking team behind the Ruth Bader Ginsburg documentary RBG that opens May 4, the pair discusses what they learned while doing their research (the justice is a huge opera fan), her nearly 56-year fairy-tale marriage to her incredibly supportive college sweetheart Martin Ginsburg and how they got around not being able to film the Supreme Court in session.

RBG Co-Directors/Producers on Their Groundbreaking Subject – Part I

Ruth Bader Ginsburg – the Brooklyn-born, 85-year-old grandmother of four who became the second female to be appointed as a Supreme Court justice in 1993 – has been having a pop-cultural moment since 2015 or so. That’s when the liberal-leaning Harvard grad was cheekily dubbed The Notorious RBG (a play on the late rapper Biggie Smalls, a.k.a. The Notorious BIG) by a pair of young female writers who saluted this petite powerhouse’s stealthy sense of bad-assery in book form.

Tully‘s Production Designer Anastasia Masaro on Finding Magic in Life’s Mess

It’s been seven years since Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody, the creative forces behind Juno and Young Adult, last collaborated. Now, with Tully, the pair close out a thematic trilogy of sorts – stories that have, at least in some way, been autobiographical for the pair of creatives. “They have this kind of connective tissue between all of them,” Reitman said at the New York premiere of the film.

New Ant-Man and the Wasp Poster & Images Highlights Hope van Dyne’s Central Role

Riding high after Avengers: Infinity War’s historic opening weekend, Marvel Studios would be forgiven for basking in the glory of the mega blockbuster for a few days. Yet when you have as many movies on your slate as they do (there’s a reason they call it the Marvel Cinematic Universe—it’s ever expanding), you’re always multitasking. Hence, a few new images and a new poster for Peyton Reed’s sequel Ant-Man and the Wasp.

New Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom TV Spot Proves a Scared Dinosaur is Extra Dangerous

The last trailer for J.A. Bayona’s Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom offered a welcome jolt of horror. Bayona has crafted some truly scary films (like 2007’s The Orphanage) as well as some gorgeously rendered stories (like 2016’s A Monster Calls). With Fallen Kingdom, Bayona is working on his largest canvass yet, and from what we’ve seen he’s taken the second installment in the proposed new trilogy into darker,
