Taika Waititi Voicing Classic Droid Character in The Mandalorian

Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi’s involvement in the live-action Star Wars series The Mandalorian just got even more interesting. The super talented director—and actor—is not only helming the season finale of the new series, but he’s also got a potentially juicy role. We already knew that Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian would have an original Star Wars feel. Now we know that Waititi may be voicing a character that first appeared in The Empire Strikes Back...

A Surprising Game of Thrones Character Gets Their Own Iron Throne Poster

We’ve seen the Iron Throne a thousand times. The spiky, elaborate, metal position of power has become so ingrained in our brains, I couldn’t spot the difference here at first. A new Game of Thrones poster shows a new angle of the most famous chair in Westeros – or does it?

A slew of posters released last month envisioned every single remaining main character ending up as the ruler of all. Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke),...

18 Reasons to Watch Netflix’s Sensational Love, Death, & Robots

To say that Love, Death & Robots isn’t like anything else on TV wouldn’t be entirely accurate. There’s simply nothing quite like it on TV. It manages to be many things at once; a series of gorgeously and variously animated shorts that range from comedy to horror to sci-fi to fantasy. It has, in my mind, one of the goriest episodes of any show not named Game of Thrones (the legitimately unsettling “Sonnie’s Edge”)...

A Freaky New Monster Plagues Hawkins in Stranger Things 3 Trailer

Summer is the most magical time in a kid’s life. No school, warm days, and endless adventures. Those adventures are just a little more bizarre in the Upside Down. The Stranger Things gang is trying to navigate changing relationships and growing up while still battling sci-fi creatures from beyond in a new trailer.

A look at season 3 of the nostalgia trip is 80s to the max and filled with fun, fantasy, and freaky new creatures...

Netflix Releases Cryptic Teaser for Stranger Things Season 3

“It’s almost feeding time.” This is how the official Stranger Things Twitter feed labeled the season 3 teaser they’ve just released, and you’ll immediately understand why. For those of us who live in New York City, this teaser hits a little too close to home:

Harry Potter Actress Miranda Richardson Joins Game of Thrones Prequel

Harry Potter‘s sinister journalist Rita Skeeter has a new assignment—she’s headed to Westeros. Okay, this isn’t entirely accurate (not that Rita is above mangling the facts)—Rita Skeeter actress Miranda Richardson will be in the upcoming Game of Thrones prequel. TV Line had the scoop, which confirms her joining the top-secret prequel. There’s no word yet on who she’ll play.

The GoT prequel will be set thousands of years before the events in Westeros featured in the current series...

Find 6 Iron Thrones Around the Globe in Game of Thrones Fan Challenge

The Game of Thrones marketing department is fully warging out. The juggernaut HBO series has recently released featurettes that highlight the work of the prosthetics and stunt departments, revealing how actors are turned into White Walkers or set on fire, depending upon the demands of the script that day. Now, a new phase of GoT‘s #ForTheThrone campaign challenges fans to find six actual Iron Thrones hidden around the world...

New Game of Thrones Video Highlights the Insane Fire Stunts

We are a mere few weeks away from the April 14 season 8 premiere of Game of Thrones. We know how long each episode is. We know how long it takes to turn an actor into a White Walker. And now we know just what it takes to make a series in which dragons routinely burn people alive. The short answer is a record-breaking number of fire stunts.

While Game of Thrones boasts some of TV’s best CGI,...

Sony to Expand Spider-Man‘s Universe to TV

Sony has a hot hand with Spider-Man at the moment. The first and most obvious example is their Oscar-winning, game-changing Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Then there was the box office smash hit Venom, based on the titular antihero and sometime antagonist of Spider-Man. Then there’s Sony’s flagship Spider-Man film series starring Tom Holland, with Far From Home bowing this July 5...

Making Wights & White Walkers With Game of Thrones‘ Prosthetics Team

When you think of the beastly creatures in Game of Thrones, the first thought is usually paid to Dany’s trio of dragons. When we analyzed season 8’s trailer, one of the most joyous parts was watching characters react to seeing Drogon and Rhaegal for the first time. (We all know what happened to Dany’s other dragon, Viserion.) Yet when you really think about it, GoT has boasted a wide variety of inhuman characters,...

Amazon’s Lord of the Rings Reveals the Location of the Series

It’s been a hot minute since word got out that a Lord of the Rings series is coming to the small screen, but when exactly this show would take place in J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy world has been a mystery to everyone. Amazon started teasing the show’s location on social media channels last month, releasing bits and pieces of an interactive map of Middle-earth to hungry fans. It was widely believed the show would focus on a young Aragorn,...

Even George R.R. Martin Doesn’t Know How Game of Thrones Ends

Game of Thrones has been a delicate balancing act since the first season. Not because of the political battles that threaten the fragile balance of power or the struggle for life over death. It has been so tricky because the biggest game on television in the 2010s has been born of a book.

Everyone knows that George R.R. Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire series inspired the hit show. Even more infamously,...

Breaking Down the Game of Thrones Season 8 Trailer

So you’ve seen the Game of Thrones season 8 trailer. Multiple times, if you’re anything like us. From the opening seconds, we get the distilled spirit of what’s to come in a single character—Arya Stark. At first, she’s running, panicked, through the dark. Then we see her coolly discussing death while holding her trusty sword, needle. She’s one of Game of Thrones’ most changed characters, from beloved youngest Stark daughter and tomboy to something entirely different...

The Last of the Living Prepare for Battle in Game of Thrones Trailer

This is the most hopeless and hopeful I have ever felt at once. The trailer for the final Game of Thrones season is filled with both bravery and despair and bleeds with every possible emotion.

So here we are. The friends and foes from each family that remains have banded together to stare down an overwhelming and relentless enemy. Will the final few reign victorious?

Faced with the overwhelming threat of the Army of the Dead,...

The Conditions for the Final Game of Thrones Battle Were Brutal

For all of the craziness that has occurred on Game of Thrones, even the wildest moments are unlikely to stack up to what is to come. I am honestly exhausted after reading this deep dive by Entertainment Weekly into the episode long battle scene for the epic show’s final season.

You would probably be safe to say that of the Game of Thrones surviving cast, none among them are divas...

Dressing Misfits, Robots & Superheroes With The Umbrella Academy‘s Costume Designer

Understandably, there’s been a lot of fan interest in the gargantuan prosthetic that Tom Harper wears for his portrayal of Luther Hargreeves, a.k.a. No. 1, in the well-received Netflix superhero series The Umbrella Academy. However, no one is emailing the show’s costume designer Christopher Hargadon about actually purchasing one. Hargadon is getting inquiries from fans asking where they can buy Luther’s mom’s outfits. The first time we meet the show’s matriarch,...

This Game of Thrones Original Won’t Appear in Season 8

For eight years now, Game of Thrones has been the hottest show on television. I mean, there are fire-breathing dragons after all. I jest, I jest. But, seriously, the battle for the Iron Throne has become a cultural phenomenon. Absolutely everyone  – looking at you, Ed Sheeran – has been dreaming and scheming of ways to be a part of the magic. However, there is one person who had the opportunity to appear on the show’s epic final season and turned it down...

New Game of Thrones Posters & Emojis Tease Final Season

The Game of Thrones poster has long been a staple of HBO’s marketing. They’re meant to tease, titillate, and tempt us to draw conclusions on who might live and who might die. They also serve as a reminder on who will play their part, big or small, in the upcoming season. A new batch of posters puts the remaining survivors on the Iron Throne, with each poster Tweeted out with a tagline for the character...

Daenerys & Drogo Have a Game of Thrones Reunion at the Oscars

Danny + Khal forever! In addition to being Hollywood’s biggest night, the Academy Awards also serve as a great opportunity for co-stars and friends to reunite and catch up. Cue two of our favorites: Game of Thrones’ Emilia Clarke and Jason Momoa. The actors took some time out to reunite for a little family reunion and snapped a few pics.

Here’s the first one from Momoa’s Instagram below:

So proud of you @emilia_clarke I love u with all my heart Aloha Drogo

Brit Marling’s Back in Netflix’s The OA: Part II Trailer

Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij are back. The dynamic creative duo delivered the deliciously weird The OA for Netflix back in 2016. The series followed the blind Prairie Johnson (Marling), who disappears for seven years, only to return home with her sight restored. Prairie refused to tell her parents or the FBI what happened— instead, she devoted her time to a high school algebra teacher and a group of teenagers. It turned out she was recruiting them for a potentially dangerous mission...
