The movies have always been apprehensive to branch too far beyond what's familiar, which has culminated in a lot of movies where the galaxy is thrown into war. Sure, movies should be the big...

To suffer in silence like that in the name of saving time and money on the production is just pure professionalism. He likely is not alone in his experience, either, because a ton of movies use heavy prosthetics on the faces of actors - it takes a lot of talent to work under those circumstances! I never thought it’d be thanking one of the Lord of the Rings baddies, and an orc for that matter, but your sacrifice is very appreciated by this fan, Stephen Ure!...

The past year has been insane for the entertainment industry and the entire world, but awards season is still happening. And it's time for the biggest event: the Academy Awards. Movie release dates were changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but we still had a unique season of hit films. Movie fans saw many of them on streaming, like Nomadland, Mank, and Judas and the Black Messiah, and audiences still seemed to enjoy them, even if they didn't see the movies in a theater.We'll soon see which films and stars...

Every awards season, there's at one category where an actor or actress becomes the overall favorite to win an Oscar. This year, the late actor Chadwick Boseman has become the season’s award darling. Unfortunately, the Black Panther star is no longer here physically to reap all the fruits of his labor, but the signs point to Boseman nabbing the Best Actor honor for his recent Netflix film....

All this being said, it’s hard to imagine that Zeus’ appearance in Thor: Love and Thunder is a one-and-done affair. It’s easy enough to imagine him popping back up in the MCU, whether that’s in a hypothetical Thor 5 or another cosmic MCU project. Why go to the trouble of featuring a Greek god if you don’t plan on exploring this mythos further? More importantly, if you’re bringing Zeus in, you might as well introduce his mighty son too, as Hercules is a far more well-known player in the Marvel...

The 21-year-old got her start on the sets of Kevin Smith’s movies Tusk and Yoga Hosers, and has since challenged herself with a host of roles, most recently with Voyagers. While promoting the sci-fi thriller with Tye Sheridan, the actress spoke to ET Online about her take on personal responsibility when asked about her own experiences growing up in the spotlight:...

But being one of In the Heights' leading ladies meant more to Leslie Grace than just scoring a role, as she was able to tap into her Afro-Latino identity. Having grown up in New York, the singer was used to seeing people who looked like her before moving to Florida. Grace’s story isn’t unusual as many Afro-Latinos have spoken on the colorism and “otherness” they have experienced within the Latino community. The same can be said about the Black American experience. So for her, participating in the musical film was...

While films based on DC Comics have been made since the late 1970s when Richard Donner made Superman: The Movie, the blockbusters have been doing things very differently in the last decade. In 2013 Warner Bros. released Zack Snyder’s Man Of Steel, and with it launched the DC Extended Universe – an expansive continuity that sees some of the greatest superheroes ever created – including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and the entire Justice League – occupying a single world. It’s a canon that continues to expand, with new movies coming...

The fact that Whoopi Goldberg is taking the narrative into her hands as opposed to signing onto a Marvel or DC film is super exciting to hear. The actress developed TV series in the early '00s with the six-season medical drama Strong Medicine and the Nickelodeon family series Just For Kicks. Back in the ‘80s, she was also a comedian who would write her standup material and release specials alongside Billy Crystal and the late Robin Williams....

Lady In The Lake - TBD (Pre-Production)Natalie Portman and fellow Star Wars, MCU, and Academy Award-winning actress Lupita Nyong’o will soon cross paths on Lady in the Lake, when the drama series based on Laura Lipman’s novel of the same name lands on Apple TV+ at some point in the near future. Per Variety, the limited series will be set in 1960s Baltimore and will follow housewife and mother Maddie Schwartz (Natalie Portman) when her life is transformed after an unsolved murder, becoming an investigative journalist in the process. Nyong’o...

I was wondering if Disney might have actually had Taika Waititi due to the filming for Cosmic Rewind when the Guardians cast was recently in Australia to film Thor: Love and Thunder, but it seems that didn't happen. Exactly when all this Guardians of the Galaxy filming is set to get started isn't clear yet. James Gunn has confirmed it will happen this year, but whether it's happening this summer, or this fall, we still don't know....
