Tony Stark Invites Spider-Man Over for the NBA Finals

Yesterday Sony released the latest trailer for Spider-Man: Homecomingwhich featured a look inside the new Spidey suit that was created by Tony Stark. Jon Watts' Homecoming is making the most of the father/son (or perhaps more accurately, rich uncle/nephew) relationship between Tony and Peter (Tom Holland), and the new suit Tony provides "the kid," as he calls him, is by far the most high-tech in the history of the Spider-Man franchise...

Meet Universal’s Monsters

When you think of a shared cinematic universe these days, you think of Marvel. Their vaunted Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), is an interconnected, multi-phase slate of films that began with 2008's Iron Man and has carried on through 13 films, most of them massively successful, with Spider-Man: Homecoming continuing their world-beating run this July 7. Yet is Marvel really the first studio to create a cinematic universe?

See Inside Tony Stark’s High-Tech Spidey Suit in new Spider-Man: Homecoming Trailer

Sony Pictures is having a great week. First, news surfaced that Tom Hardy had been cast as Venom, one of the most beloved comic book villains of all time.

By securing an actor with as much gravitas and skill as Hardy, they've made sure their Venom stand-alone film will have as good a foundation as possible. But that's 2018, and Sony has something to be excited about right now—Jon Watts' ...

Pretty Much Everyone is Thrilled About Tom Hardy Being Cast as Venom

Eddie Brock, aka the antihero Venom, has always been both a beloved villain and a bit of a hard sell when imagining the character supporting his own stand-alone film. He went from being an outright villain in the Marvel universe to an antihero, but he’s certainly a nasty piece of business and, unlike witty antiheroes like Deadpool, he’s never been particularly funny or relatable. He is, after all, the product of the union between a bitter, vengeful reporter (Brock) and an alien parasite...

David Lynch and Mark Frost’s iconic Twin Peaks returned to television last night, 27 years after it first appeared and changed the medium as we knew it, and it seems the wait has been worth it.

Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman is carrying a lot of weight on its' shoulders. There's the fan expectations (Wonder Woman is one of the most popular superheroes), there's the films' role as the first female superhero film, and finally, there's the fact that it represents the best chance for Warner Bros.
