While WandaVision's very different concept could have felt overly complicated, the puzzle of it all is exactly what made it so appealing, not only for Jac Schaeffer but the rest of the writing staff. It's understandable that coming up with something new for Black Widow could have been tough, especially considering how many superhero adventures came before it just in the MCU. Conversely, whatever they came up with for WandaVision was going to feel fresh and new by definition. And the fact that there was no precedent probably gave the...

With the events of Rogue One leading straight into A New Hope, and Grand Moff Tarkin and Darth Vader having worked closely together since the formation of the Empire, it’s not shocking to hear that these two would have conversed in the 2016 Star Wars movie. At this point time, Tarkin would still be “holding Vader’s leash,” and if that’s the same giant screen Tarkin intensely gazed at during A New Hope while aboard the Death Star, it stands to reason that Vader visited the destructive space station plenty of...

Armie Hammer and Elizabeth Chambers married in 2010 and have two children together, but they separated in July 2020. Whether or not Hammer having a rumored affair with Rebecca co-star Lilly James had anything to do with the separation, Chambers is now making it clear that while she won’t comment on this controversy anymore and is focusing on self-care and taking care of her children, she supports victims of abuse in taking steps to heal. In addition to the leaked private messages, various women have also accused Hammer of sexually...

Along with being a critical success, Baby Driver currently ranks as Edgar Wright’s most commercially successful movie, collecting nearly $227 million worldwide off a reported $34 million budget. In addition to Ansel Elgort starring as the eponymous character, Baby Driver starred Lily James, Kevin Spacey, Jon Hamm, Jamie Foxx, Eiza Gonzalez and Jon Bernthal....

As far as what projects Armie Hammer does have on the way, as mentioned earlier, he’s appearing in Death on the Nile, the second of Kenneth Branagh’s Agatha Christie adaptations centered on detective Hercule Poirot, who the filmmaker also plays. Hammer portrays Simon Doyle, and his costars include Gal Gadot, Letitia Wright, Russell Brand and Annette Bening. Before that movie arrives in the fall, Hammer can be seen in the drama Crisis opposite Gary Oldman and Evangeline Lilly, and he’s also part of the Taika Waititi-helmed sports comedy Next Goal...

Ant-Man And The Wasp: QuantamaniaChris Evans’ Captain America could also squeeze his way back into the Marvel Universe by way of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, the recently announced third installment of the Ant-Man films starring Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lily, Michael Douglas, Michelle Pfieffer and Kathryn Newton as Cassie Lang. The movie is confirmed to feature Lovecraft Country star, Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror, who is often defined by his abilities to time travel. Traveling through time was obviously a huge part of Endgame and something that Quantamania is...

Blake Lively may feel silly for being frustrated with her postpartum body, but she’s speaking to a very real experience that many women have after giving birth. By talking about the insecurities she faced, she’s showing any fans that may have gone through something similar that they are not alone....

Will Smith (Floyd Lawton/Deadshot)In the role of Floyd Lawton, better known as Deadshot, an expert marksman and assassin, Will Smith plays the lead character in this ensemble piece. Having risen to fame for his starring role in NBC's The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Smith became one of the biggest movie stars on the planet for Independence Day, the Men in Black trilogy, Hitch, the Bad Boys series, I, Robot, I Am Legend, Hancock, and Aladdin (2019). He was also Oscar-nominated for his lead performances in Ali and The Pursuit of...

As mentioned, this is not the first lawsuit that has been fought over Friday the 13th. Several of the people who worked on the original 1980 film, including screenwriter Victor Miller and director Sean Cunningham, have been locked in legal battles over creative rights of the franchise for years. In 2018, Victor Miller won a lawsuit that awarded him creative ownership of Friday the 13th in the domestic market, despite producers’ claims that he was commissioned under creative control of Sean Cunningham and therefore not entitled to the ownership. Sean...

Now it’s been a while since the pair have been seen together as Jane and Darcy, but I always sensed an electric chemistry between those two. It may have even stuck out more than Jane and Thor’s (oops… throwing some shade – not their fault, especially since Dark World is infamously one of the weaker Marvel scripts). It’s nice to know Portman and Dennings are friends in our reality too, so now reunite them in Love and Thunder, Marvel!....

Of course, now that Michelle Pfeiffer has made it clear that she would return, one wonders if anybody at Warner Bros. might be making a phone call right now. At this point it's unclear how many of the classic versions of DC characters might appear, or how significant their roles will actually be. But it certainly feels like there's an opportunity for a Catwoman cameo at the very least. So who knows, maybe we'll see it....

Within 24 hours of the trailer drop, Godzilla vs. Kong racked up 15.8 million views on the Warner Bros YouTube channel, along with an additional 9.8 million on the Legendary, Warner Bros UK, official Godzilla vs. Kong and HBO Max Twitter accounts. Luiz Fernandez recorded the results on Twitter, sharing that it could very well be the “biggest debut ever” for Warner Bros....

Here’s one last crazy bit of casting that almost happened on the road to Southland Tales. As Richard Kelly went out of his way to cast actors against their usual type casting archetypes, a lot of comedic actors were drafted to make up this film’s ensemble. A good number of these folks, like Amy Poehler, Cheri Oteri and Jon Lovitz, had previously been a part of/would go onto become part of the SNL family. However, it’s a pair of MadTV graduates that make up this last switcharoo, and you can...

In any case, along with Daveed Diggs, The Little Mermaid’s voice cast includes Jacob Tremblay as Flounder and Awkwafina as Scuttle, while the live-action performers include Halle Bailey as Ariel, Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric, Melissa McCarthy as Ursula and Javier Bardem as King Triton, along with Noma Dumezweni and Emily Coates in undisclosed roles. Mary Poppins Returns’ Rob Marshall is directing the Little Mermaid remake off a script by Jane Goldman and David Magee. Filming was initially supposed to begin in April 2020, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic,...
