Kevin Feige Says Black Panther 2 Will Happen Whenever Ryan Coogler’s Ready
One of the great public services Avengers: Infinity War is about to do is bringing back some of our favorite characters from Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther. T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman), Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o), Shuri (Letitia Wright), Okoye (Danai Gurira) and more have big parts to play in the Russo Brothers epic. Who on planet Earth doesn’t want to see Shuri own Bruce Banner? No one. What few people could have predicted was the fact that it would be the super-sized Infinity War that would be following a historic Marvel film...
James Cameron’s Surprising Inspiration for the Avatar Sequels
There were some familiar storytelling elements in James Cameron’s 2009 Avatar, but as a master of movie technology, the visuals were groundbreaking. With four sequels in the works, it’s no surprise that Cameron doesn’t just have more of the same planned. The science fiction pioneer had to have some new material in mind to pursue such a mega project. We did not, however, anticipate this comparison.
Cameron recently spoke at press day for the upcoming documentary James Cameron’s Story of Science Fiction...
Dwayne Johnson Isn’t the Only Thing Smoldering in a New Digital Skyscraper Poster
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson may be the hero we truly deserve. His latest film, Rampage, enjoyed a successful opening weekend, as our favorite be-muscled hero saved Chicago—and by extension the world—from mutated creatures. Yet when you’ve got charisma and pecs to spare, your work is never done. To wit: Johnson is off to China to save the day (again) when a Skyscraper goes up in flames in, wait for it, Skyscraper.
Universal Pictures released a new poster for the film on their official Instagram and it looks like Johnson will be quite literally holding on for dear life...
The Handmaid’s Tale’s Samira Wiley Talks Religion, Love, and Season 2
Fresh from their Peabody Award win, The Handmaid’s Tale returns for a highly anticipated 2nd season. Season 1, which was filmed before Donald Trump was elected, became more than just a cautionary tale after his campaign and first year in office. Though sometimes difficult to watch, it represents some of the best writing and acting on the small screen. It also affirms just how successful and multi-layered a show with a strong female presence, both in front of and behind the camera,...
Spidey Will be Leaving New York in Spider-Man Homecoming Sequel
You’ll be seeing Spider-Man (Tom Holland) in just a few days when Avengers: Infinity War hits theaters on Friday, April 27. What we’ve seen from previous trailers and TV spots is that Peter Parker is tapped to join Doctor Strange, Iron Man and others on a trip to Thanos (Josh Brolin)’s home planet of Titan. This is the second time Parker’s left his native New York to join the Avengers—in Captain America: Civil War, Tony Stark recruited him to help in the film’s titular Avenger-on-Avenger battle in Germany...
Watch how They Created The Fantastically Creepy Drone Hosts in Westworld
During last night’s bloody, delightfully creepy season two premiere of Westworld, perhaps no new characters made quite as big an impact as the drone hosts. We first encounter on of these faceless, skinless robots coming up behind Bernard (Jeffrey Wright)—utterly silently. Co-creator Jonathan Nolan explains their creation in this great new behind-the-scenes featurette, explaining that the drone hosts offer viewers—and sentient hosts like Bernard—an opportunity to see what the hosts true nature, once you strip all of the deceptively realistic flesh and blood away...
Rob Delaney’s Average Superhero in Deadpool 2 Brings Out the Hero in Us All
Deadpool has his eyes set on rivaling the X-Men and is even taking cracks at the Avengers in the final trailer. The Merc with the Mouth is forming his own team of crimefighting mutants featuring Domino (Zazie Beetz), Bedlam (Terry Crews), Shatterstar (Lewis Tan), and…Peter (Rob Delaney)?
No, it’s not Peter Parker and definitely not Peter Quill. He’s just…Peter. The final trailer introduced us to the affable character, played by the hilarious Rob Delaney of Catastrophe,...
Constance Wu Gets An Extravagant Welcome to Singapore in First Crazy Rich Asians Teaser
2018 is off to a smashing start with Black Panther breaking box office records, A Quiet Place reinventing the horror genre and leaving audiences too scared to even breathe, and Avengers: Infinity War setting records before its release next week. Now we are getting the first look at John Chu’s Crazy Rich Asians that is sure to be one of the top rom coms of the year...
Hope van Dyne’s Mission is Central to the Plot of Ant-Man and the Wasp
Just about all the oxygen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is being hovered up, understandably, by Avengers: Infinity War. While the mega-blockbuster has all our attention, don’t sleep on the next film in the MCU right after it—Ant-Man and the Wasp. Paul Rudd’s diminutive superhero and his super-powered pal the Wasp (Evangeline Lilly) will have the honor, and the burden, of being the first film to follow up the Avengers (and just about every other Marvel character)’s fight with Thanos...
Michael Myers Looks Worse for the Wear in First Halloween Poster
Time has not been kind to Michael Myers. The serial killer of Haddonfield is back with a few more wrinkles than he sported four decades ago. Universal has released the first poster for the upcoming Halloween and The Shape’s stoic mask has weathered with age.
The brilliant poster design rivals the 1978 classic jack-o-lantern wielding a carving knife that’s haunted our nightmares since childhood. Myers’ looming stillness hangs in a black abyss and you could fall right into his dark eyes...
Denzel Washington Returns for his First Sequel Ever in The Equalizer 2 Trailer
Arguably Hollywood’s most charismatic leading man is returning to a role for the first time in his career. Denzil Washington is back as retired agent and hired gun Robert McCall in Antoine Fuqua’s The Equalizer 2. How tough is McCall? Consider he sizes up a half dozen toughs who mean him considerable harm and starts his stopwatch. Pop quiz: what takes longer, McCall dispatching these goons or heating up a Hot Pocket? It’s a trick question—McCall takes them out in a fraction of the time it would take...
Wild Final Deadpool 2 Trailer Takes Jabs at Avengers: Infinity War‘s Thanos
Josh Brolin is obviously pulling double duty in the Marvel Universe, but we didn’t expect anyone to call him out on it. The in-demand actor will threaten Earth in Avengers: Infinity War next week as Thanos, but he also plays the mutant with the muscle, Cable, in Deadpool 2. Yesterday, Brolin teased that this is just the beginning of Cable’s story. Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) couldn’t pass up the chance to take a dig at the star in the new Deadpool 2 trailer saying of Cable,...
Screenwriters Lawrence & Jonathan Kasdan say Solo: A Star Wars Story is a Crime Movie
If you’re writing a movie about the most famous smuggler in the galaxy, it makes sense that it would be a crime movie. Our hopes that Solo: A Star Wars Story would be a heist film seem to have been realized—the film’s father/son screenwriting team has confirmed it. Praise Jabba!
Once again The Star Wars Show has nabbed video interviews no one else in the galaxy is getting, this time with Solo screenwriters Lawrence and Jonathan Kasdan (their chat begins at the 3:10 mark)...
Shuri Owns Bruce Banner in Fantastic new Avengers: Infinity War Clip
It goes without saying at this point that Letitia Wright’s Shuri was one of the best parts of Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther. That’s saying something considering how many best parts of Black Panther there were. As T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman)’s brilliant little sister, Shuri may not be an elite warrior like the Dora Milaje‘s leader Okoye (Danai Gurira), or a super spy like Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o), but without her there’s simply no way Black Panther could have defeated Erik Killmonger (Michael B...
Final Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Trailer Reveals Adrenalin Shot of Horror
You know where you don’t want to find yourself? In an very tight, enclosed space with a T-Rex that isn’t quite as tranquilized as you assumed (and hoped) she was. So begins the final trailer for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, putting Owen (Chris Pratt) in yet another impossible situation. With him is Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard), the former number two at Jurassic World who, along with Owen and her two nephews, was dead center (in more ways than one) in the drama that befell the park in Jurassic World. ...
Thandie Newton Drops Hints About Her Mysterious Solo: A Star Wars Story Character
We would trade a Kyber Crystal to know more about Thandie Newton’s role in the upcoming Solo: A Star Wars film. She looks positively badass and her character is cloaked in mystery. That probably indicates the importance her role plays in the overall story arc and peaks our interest. Newton did open up to Radio Times about the role and we’re scavenging her comments for clues.
Newton plays Val, a member of Beckett’s (Woody Harrelson) crew who will become teammates with Han (Aldren Ehrenreich) and Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo)...
Ava DuVernay Announces Star Wars: Episode IX Assistant Director
We were ecstatic last fall when J.J. Abrams announced he would be returning to close out the Skywalker Saga with Star Wars: Episode IX. Abrams is one of the most crisp storytellers of our generation and capably carried on the George Lucas legacy with The Force Awakens. We trust him to finish this thing right, yet Han Solo cannot pilot the Millenium Falcon without Chewbacca. So too does Abrams require a copilot. Today, she has been found and we are dying to know everything about her...
Josh Brolin Says He’ll Play Cable in Four Upcoming Films
Test audiences loved him. We’ve loved him. If you’ve loved what you’ve seen thus far of Josh Brolin’s Cable in the Deadpool 2 trailers, then this is great news: Brolin has confirmed to Empire Magazine that his newcomer to the Deadpool franchise will be a veteran in no time—there are at least four films featuring Cable in the works.
“We think about it in four movie terms,”...
Steven Spielberg Bringing DC Comics’ Blackhawk to the Big Screen
This is a major, major announcement coming from Warner Bros.’ and DC—Steven Spielberg will be producing and possibly directing a movie about DC Comics’ Blackhawk. The script is from one of his longtime creative partners, writer David Koepp (Jurassic Park, War of the Worlds, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull), and would likely return the legendary filmmaker to World War II.
World War II is, of course, territory he Spielberg mined to fantastic effect before with Saving Private Ryan...
Watch Marvel History Unfold From Iron Man to Infinity War in New Featurette
The history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is largely now a history of how the entire film industry has been changed in the last decade. Beginning with 2008’s Iron Man and carrying on with Avengers: Infinity War next Friday, April 27, Marvel has altered the cinematic landscape with their hugely ambitious interconnected world (okay, universe) of films. This feat has been discussed, at length, in countless ways and on countless forums, but to see it laid out in a single,...
