The Russo Brothers Hilariously Acknowledge Hawkeye’s Avengers: Infinity War Absence
Hey, remember last Monday when we shared this awesome Hawkeye-centric Avengers: Infinity War poster created by artist Boss Logic? Well, the Russo Brothers, the gentlemen directing the film, have heard all about the concerns from Team Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner, obviously) about his absence from promotional materials, have seen Boss Logic’s epic poster, and have responded. That’s right, the dynamic duo who filmed Infinity War and Avengers 4 back-to-back changed their Facebook cover image to include Boss Logic’s ode to Clint Barton,
This Disney/Pixar Bracket is Destroying Friendships in the Best Possible Way
Sometimes, every once in a while, a thing on the internet that everyone is doing or obsessed with is actually quite lovely and harmless. This is one of those times. Everyone has a favorite Disney movie and everyone is prepared to argue why their favorite is the best. If you’re a Lion King person and someone, even a loved one, comes at you spouting off about how The Little Mermaid reigns supreme,

Ayşe Toprak on her Groundbreaking Documentary Mr. Gay Syria
The devastating Syrian civil war has made an impact on international film audiences largely thanks to two powerful documentaries: the Oscar-winning The White Helmets (2016) and the Oscar nominee Last Men in Aleppo (2017). Although director Ayşe Toprak’s new documentary Mr. Gay Syria tells its story against the backdrop of the civil war that’s killed 300,000 people since it began in 2011 and caused five million to flee and become refugees,
Beirut Screenwriter Tony Gilroy on Writing, Waiting, and Rocky Receptions
Tony Gilroy might have made his screenwriting debut with the 1992 cult ice-rink romance The Cutting Edge, but for much of his long, illustrious run in the business, he has focused on thrills and action. As both as a writer (the first four chapters of the Bourne franchise, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and The Great Wall) as well as directing (Michael Clayton,
Black Panther Tops The Avengers as Highest-Grossing Superhero Movie of All Time

A Fun Theory About the Solo: A Star Wars Story Villain
At the 51-second mark of the Solo: A Star Wars Story trailer you may be getting a glimpse of the film’s villain. What you can be sure of is he’s not Han’s new buddy (you don’t prepare to unholster your Blaster when you meet an old friend), and he’s one bad looking dude, sporting a cool looking mask (how come the good guys in Star Wars never get cool masks?) and some serious backup.
Breaking Thor’s Hammer in Thor: Ragnarok Was no Easy Feat
We’ve paid proper due Mjolnir, Thor’s mighty hammer, in this piece that functioned as a video obituary for one of the most iconic weapons in all of the MCU. Made from a chunk of Uru that Thor’s father Odin had lying around (he had defeated a cosmic storm called the God Tempest and trapped said God inside the rocky chunk), Odin ordered the Dwarves of Nidavellir to forge Mojlni from the God-containing chunk.

Director James Wan Counsels Patience for First Aquaman Trailer
Movie fans, especially fans of superhero and franchise films from Marvel, DC and a certain galaxy far, far away can be a an impatient bunch. For example, there was a lot of angst regarding what was taking Lucasfilm and Disney so long to release the Solo: A Star Wars Story trailer (and then one dropped during the Super Bowl, and the peopled were most content, and they rested).
Love, Simon Shares Musical Inspiration with Coming of Age Films of the ’80s
Entertainment in the 1980s took kids seriously. Young people faced serious problems in a mature, yet whimsical that honored the anxious, dramatic phase they were in. Look no further than the Brat Pack, who have been summoned into current discussions about teens across the country protesting gun violence, only to find themselves getting detentions for their walkouts. Once forced together again by school authorities who didn’t think it through, these kids were able to protest yet again.
The Big Sick Director Michael Showalter Directing New Christmas Movie Starring Octavia Spencer & Jessica Chastain

A complex set involves a past-futuristic fictional Japanese city, called Megasaki,
Accept, Enjoy, Enthuse: Jeff Goldblum on his Mantra, Isle of Dogs & More
Jeff Goldblum is a bon vivant at heart. He always seems to be having a good time no matter what he is doing. No wonder he told Vanity Fair that his mantra is “Accept, enjoy, enthuse.” Even when he is only heard and not seen, as is the case in Wes Anderson’s stop-motion, Japanese-infused adventure Isle of Dogs, the 65-year-old actor brings joy to his role as Duke,
Pacific Rim: Uprising‘s VFX Supervisor on Creating 300-Foot Monsters in Photo-Realistic backdrops
When he was a British schoolboy, Peter Chiang used to stand in the local bookstore staring at the covers of science fiction paperbacks and dreaming about fantastical scenarios. “I just loved the imagery,” says Chiang. “I started illustrating space ships and monsters and creatures, growing up on Thunderbirds sci-fi cartoon series here in the UK, and watching Blade Runner, which had a huge impact on my life. I remember thinking ‘I want to do that.'”
HBO Reveals Brand New Westworld Season 2 Poster & Images
On Monday, we were talking about what Westworld season two’s working title might mean for where the show is headed. Today, we’re wondering if this robot vulture represents the Man in Black (Ed Harris), or fed on his carcass. Okay, not literally, as HBO has released new images from the first two episodes of the new season, and the Man in Black is prominently featured (if injured, after getting shot in last season’s finale).

Margot Robbie Invites You Down the Rabbit Hole in Terminal Teaser
What is this place and where is everyone going? Margot Robbie is an industrial Alice, Queen of Hearts, and Mad Hatter all in one in the first Terminal teaser.
There isn’t much to go off of yet, but IMDb shared the teaser in which Robbie has started to give us some very intriguing clues. A series of people wander through abandoned warehouses and long hallways, all seemingly headed to the same place.
