By comparison, Jungle Cruise opened at $2.7 million on its first night two weeks ago, while The Suicide Squad made $4.1 million on its opening Thursday screenings to a lower overall weekend than Cruise. All and all, it doesn’t look like Free Guy is going to blow any minds with its exclusive theatrical release. Unlike other recent releases, the 20th Century Studios/Disney film will not hit streaming, but remain solely on big-screens for a 45-day window....

While 20th Century Studios' official announcement doesn’t specify who plays who, the Home Sweet Home Alone cast includes Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’s Ellie Kemper, Catastrophe’s Rob Delaney, Veep’s Timothy Simons, Saturday Night Live’s Kenan Thompson and Ally Maki. The movie was written by Saturday Night Live cast member Mikey Day, along with one of the show’s staff writers, Streeter Seidell. Disney+ also made the announcement via its Instagram:...

Ratcatcher Was First Introduced In DC Comics As A Batman VillainCreated by writer Alan Grant, his frequent collaborator John Wagner, and late illustrator Norm Breyfogle, Ratcatcher made his DC Comics debut in a two-part story featured in Detective Comics, released in April and May of 1988. It sees the sewer-dweller taking on the Batman, who is lured into the hunt for the criminal when he hears the screams of one of four men being held captive by him underneath the streets of Gotham City. The Dark Knight himself just barely...

Hey, at least the man knows what he wants. Martin Campbell is taking his share of responsibility for how Green Lantern turned out, and he doesn’t want to risk a similar situation happening over at Marvel Studios. I’ll tell you what, if Marvel ever greenlights a Nova movie, considering the similarities between that property and Green Lantern, I’d have been curious to see if Campbell would have had better luck on that project....

This big moment came in Batman: Urban Legends #6, the latest issue of an anthology series packed with various stories about important characters in Gotham City. Among these has been “Sum of Our Parts,” A Tim Drake-centric story written by Meghan Fitzmartin and illustrated by Belén Ortega. The story saw Tim fighting a mysterious new villain who’d kidnapped Bernard, a childhood friend of his. Needless to say that Tim successfully accomplished this mission when all was said and done, but “Sum of Our Parts” also saw him struggling with his...

Seeing Meadow Walker giggling as she showed off her engagement ring was just a reminder of how grown she is now. Looking at the video, it just seemed like an ordinary day for the model as she stared into the camera before swimming off casually. At the same time, Walker wanted to share her happiness with the world. It was nice of her to share such a momentous, life-changing time as an adult....

Now all this isn’t to say that we’ll never see a Wolverine on the big screen again. Quite the opposite, as once the new cinematic X-Men are introduced to the MCU, it’s a good bet that Wolverine will be part of that lineup. And as we saw in Loki, variants of an individual can look different from one another, so maybe we could see an alternate version of specifically Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, but played by a different actor. Whatever the case, Jackman has closed the book on Wolverine, no matter...

Over the years, James Gunn has built up a reputation on finding inventive ways to add popular and sometimes forgotten songs to his movies. He famously did this with Guardians of the Galaxy and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, which had their fair share of memorable music moments, and no surprise here, but he’s done it once again with The Suicide Squad soundtrack. There is something about the way Gunn uses songs by artists like Johnny Cash, The Pixies, and The Jim Carroll Band to help tell the film’s...

As for Jason Momoa’s tenure as Aquaman, we saw reunited with his incarnation of the underwater-breathing, trident-wielding superhero earlier this year in Zack Snyder’s Justice League, though the footage of him there was shot years ago during Justice League’s original principal photography. Currently Momoa is hard at work shooting Aquaman 2, a.k.a. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, which is also bringing back familiar faces like Amber Heard, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Patrick Wilson, Dolph Lundgren and Temuera Morrison. The sequel kicked off principal photography at the end of June, and Momoa...

HyperionMetro Man - Brad Pitt’s aforementioned character from the 2010 movie Megamind - was, essentially, an animated parody of the DC movies’ Superman. By voicing this boisterous, virtually unstoppable superhero, the actor is already primed to bring the character often referred to as the Man of Steel of the Marvel Universe to the big screen for the first time. There has been a lot of talk since mid-2020 that Marvel Studios was considering Brad Pitt for the role of Zhib-Ran, otherwise known as Hyperion - an extraterrestrial with flight, super...

But if anyone has the ability to meet such great expectations, it should be James Cameron. And with the Avatar films having been in the works for years now, one would imagine that he's put a lot of thought and care into how he wants to continue the story of Sam Worthington's Jake Sully and Zoe Saldana's Neytiri. You can catch the first of Cameron's sequels, Avatar 2, when it hits theaters on December 16, 2022....

Dickinson (Apple TV+)If you ever wondered if Hailee Steinfeld was funny, look no further than the Apple TV+ original, Dickinson. In this comedy, Steinfeld stars as Emily Dickinson, the famous author, and we get to explore what it was like back then with the constraints of society, gender, and family from her perspective, but all with a modern point of view. As someone who has watched both seasons of this show, I truly can’t see anyone else playing Emily Dickinson besides Hailee Steinfeld. She’s able to still make Dickinson this...

Hudson’s scene is beautifully performed, and she gives it her all as the abandoned kitty who wistfully sings about her past before being banished from the weird cat cult Cats seems to focus on. She absolutely crushes those notes, but we’re also a bit distracted by the oddly placed CGI around her face for the performance. Hudson continued to Empire Magazine:...

Bullies From Weasel’s College Days Inspired His Supervillain AliasIn John Monroe’s DC Comics debut, a flashback to the 1960s shows him as a student at Stanford University, where he was treated as a bit of an outcast by people who constantly tormented him and gave a disparaging nickname. Care to guess what that name was? If you said, “Weasel,” give yourself a pat on the back. But what exactly inspired Monroe to channel this traumatic memory into a life of crime. Years later, John Monroe would become a teacher at...
