The End is Nigh: Avengers 4 Begins Filming

Production on the fourth Avengers film has begun, and the occasion was marked by the Russo Brothers posting an image of a gloved hand holding out four fingers. The title of the film has yet to even be released, as it gives away events in Marvel films that will premiere before this fourth installment in the Avengers lineup. Indeed, its predecessor, Avengers: Infinity War, does not even have an official trailer out.

Watch Bill Hader as Anthony Scaramucci on SNL‘s Weekend Update: Summer Edition

Arguably the two greatest political spoofs in recent SNL history are Tina Fey’s Sarah Palin and Melissa McCarthy’s Sean Spicer. Equal parts loving and lacerating, these two characterizations will stand the test of comedy time. Possibly joining their ranks is Bill Hader’s riff on Anthony Scaramucci, the blink-and-you-missed-it White House communications director, who spent a grand total of 11 days in the position, and was fired, technically, before his actual start date.

In previous years, we wouldn’t have gotten a timely spoof like this because 

Double Emmy Nominee Ann Dowd Talks The Handmaid’s Tale and The Leftovers

Frightening to begin with, The Handmaid’s Tale gets even more creepy fifteen minutes into the first episode with the introduction of “Aunt Lydia.” Played with fierce authority by Ann Dowd, Lydia hectors a group of young women forced to bear children for the men who rule near-future “Gilead.” Striding around the classroom in short hair, drab gown and combat boots, Lydia stops at the desk of a surly student and abruptly jabs the handmaid with a cattle prod.

If you’re stil reeling from Game of Thrones episode 4, “Spoils of War,” join the club. We’re still trying to decide just how effective Dany’s Dothraki-and-dragon attack on the Lannister army was, consideirng the gold they captured from High Garden had already arrived at King’s Landing. What Dany’s torching of the remnants of Jaime’s soldiers will mean for the larger war will likely be part of what we learn in the upcoming fifth episode,

Star Wars: The Last Jedi News: Alien Caretakers, Jedi Cave Pantings & Snoke’s Praetorian Guard

As we near Star Wars: The Last Jedi‘s December 15 premiere date, we can expect fresh details to emerge. Granted, these will likely only be that which Lucasfilm and Walt Disney Studios wants us to know, but every new bit of information is, for Star heads, worth savoring. A lot of the latest info is courtesy a cover story by Entertainment Weekly, which got to sit down with a lot of the major players,

Emmy-Nominated Veep Writers Master Insult-Driven Satire in the Age of Trump

On the face of it, few things sound less intrinsically funny than “presidential library.” And yet for ten wickedly hilarious episodes this spring, HBO comedy Veep packed in more jokes per minute than any of its competition by tracking the self-glorifying quests of a narcissistic politician, expert in the art of personal attacks, who’s willing to say anything and betray anybody if it means holding onto power. Portrayed by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Selina Meyer spends most of the season on a quest to memorialize her eight-month “legacy”

Star Wars: The Last Jedi: Mark Hamill on Luke in Exile

The details we learned about Luke Skywalker’s disappearance in The Force Awakens centered on the fact that Luke felt he failed when his protegé, Kylo Ren, turned out to be, well, the Kylo Ren we all know and loathe. While the galaxy once again was falling under the jackboot of a dictatorship (this time, the First Order, built from the ashes of the Galactic Empire after the events in Return of the Jedi),

James Cameron Confirms Stephen Lang to Play Villain Through all Avatar Films

One might not exactly call a December 18, 2020 release date “upcoming”, but that is indeed when the long awaited sequel to Avatar will be landing in theaters. James Cameron, the director and mind behind the series, has not been sitting idle for the better part of a decade that has passed between the first film’s release and now. Rather, he has been plotting out the whopping four sequels that will round out the five film series,

Any fan worth their salt knows about the five scenes that were interspersed throughout the end credits of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. But there has been some confusion as to what it all means.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi may Include Mega Star Destroyer

With the premiere of The Last Jedi drawing ever nearer, it is no surprise that the ever-active Star Wars fan base is leaving no stone unturned in their hunt for information about the upcoming film. Thanks to their relentless searching, details about a new ship have been found in an unexpected place. A photo of a list of soon-to-be-released toys based on the upcoming film has been found, and included on the list is something called the “BB-8 Mega Star Destroyer (with Supreme Leader Snoke and Elite Praetorian Guard).”

The Gifted Exists in a World Where the X-Men are Absent

If you want to drive yourself crazy, try to figure when things happened within the X-Men universe. The films themselves have memorably juggled and re-jiggered timelines, so much so that DenOfGeek created this nifty guide, which helps break down on which timeline the various films exist on. Even with DenOfGeek’s thorough guide, it’s still pretty confusing, and things are hardly made more clear with the addition of the 

Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen Eyes Milla Jovovich to Play Villain

For fans of Guillermo del Toro’s two Hellboy movies, you’re probably cautiously excited about the Hellboy reboot. First announced this past May, Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen may be missing del Toro and Hellboy himself, Ron Perlman, but it does have comics creator Mike Mingola co-writing the script for director Neil Marshall (The Descent), along with scribes Andrew Cosby and Christopher Goldne. Then we found out that Stranger Things standout David Harbour will be playing the titular comics character.

Writer/director Destin Daniel Cretton re-teamed with his Short Term 12 star Brie Larson for The Glass Castle, based on Jeannette Walls’ best-selling memoir about her chaotic childhood. Walls’ parents struggled with substance abuse and mental illness, and their four children were often hungry and neglected. Larson plays Walls as a young adult, professionally successful as a gossip columnist in New York. As the film opens, we see her leave an elegant restaurant after dinner with her Wall Street fiancé and his prospective client. From her taxi,

Watch Kingsman: The Golden Circle‘s Action-Packed “Southern Charm” TV Spot

Matthew Vaughn’s Kingsman: The Secret Service was a big hit, giving audiences an inspired, slightly insane mash-up of James Bond and a European Dirty Dozen. Starring Taron Egerton, Mark Strong and Colin Firth as members of a an independent, international intelligence agency operating out of what appears to be a high-end tailor, Kingsman was a blast, famously requiring Firth to do things in a film that no one ever dreamed we’d see him do (the church scene still shocks). 

Here’s Your First Look at Josh Brolin as Cable in Deadpool 2

One-man marketing department Ryan Reynolds has once again summoned most of the internet to his Twitter page for these images of Josh Brolin as Cable, the time traveling, heavily armored X-Force cyborg (and son of Cyclops) who will be starring alongside Reynolds in Deadpool 2. 

“We all have that one, grumpy, heavily armed Uncle from the future,” Reynolds writes beneath the first image of Brolin as Cable, a headshot that highlights Cable’s wicked facial scars and his cyborg eye.

The upcoming Flash film is set to be based on Flashpoint,

How Avengers: Infinity War Directors Anthony and Joe Russo Kept the Script Secret

In a world of spoilers and leaked episodes, new pre-release information about franchises such as The Avengers is like gold. And that, perhaps, is why Anthony and Joe Russo, who are directing the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War, elected to not give their cast members full scripts. As Elizabeth Olsen, the actress behind the series’ Scarlet Witch, revealed to Stephen Colbert, the Russo brothers only supplied her with script pages immediately relevant to her character,

Game of Thrones Recap: “The Spoils of War”

Last night’s episode was satisfying on several fronts. Featuring several reunions, a battle, and the possible death of a main character, The Spoils of War capitalized on all that makes Game of Thrones so good.

The Brilliant Sound Technique That Makes Dunkirk so Viscerally Intense

We’ve written quite a bit about Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk, specifically about the film’s boundary pushing technical brilliance. We explained to you why it matters that the film was shot in 70-mm (and how it affects your movie-going experience), and we wrote about how Nolan and his team’s use of IMAX cameras helped tell one of the most miraculous escapes in military history.
