James Gunn was recently asked on Twitter about a statement that he had made previously that Matt Reeves' The Batman as his most anticipated of DC's upcoming slate. That includes not only a new Batman movie, but sequels to the popular Shazam! and Aquaman franchises. Gunn explained that the reason he's looking forward to the film is because of the director, who Gunn says has a unique ability to let his own artistry shine through, no matter how big or commercial the project in question is. In hish words,...

It may be sunny just about every day in Los Angeles, the film capital of the world, but for about a year now, the big California city has faced the highest volume of COVID-19 numbers. Movie theaters across Los Angeles County have remained closed since coronavirus lockdowns went into effect last spring. But finally, the state’s health department has given exhibitors the go ahead to open for business, and it’s happening soon....

Harry Potter has been entertaining folks for decades, and the property is showing no signs of slowing down. It all started with J.K. Rowling's beloved novels, which were eventually made into a blockbuster film franchise. And while there are currently controversies surrounding both Rowling and Johnny Depp, we're learning more about what it was like working on the original franchise. Actress Katie Leung played Harry's love interest Cho Chang for five movies, and she recently revealed the racist backlash she faced. What's more, she was reportedly told to deny said...

As for who is participating in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, along with the return of Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn, Jai Courtney’s Captain Boomerang, Viola Davis’ Amanda Waller and Joel Kinnaman’s Rick Flag, we’ll meet folks like Idris Elba’s Bloodsport, John Cena’s Peacemaker, Peter Capaldi’s Thinker, Daniela Melchior’s Ratcatcher 2 and David Dastmalchian’s Polka-Dot Man, among many others.

Kevin HartBack in the ‘90s, Jumanji was a mystical board game, but nowadays, it sucks its players into a video game realm. Kevin Hart has starred in the last two Jumanji movies, Welcome to the Jungle and The Next Level, as the Franklin “Mouse” Finbar avatar, and Hart also collected some action-related experience on Central Intelligence and the upcoming The Man from Toronto. So Borderlands will be relatively familiar territory for him, although this adventure definitely won’t anywhere near as family-friendly as the recent Jumanji installments given that as of...

Anthony Mackie recently revealed that Sam Wilson has yet to accept the title of Captain America, as there is no clear answer at the end of Avengers: Endgame. He also mentioned that The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will explore his character's ultimate decision and the search for a new Captain America. It looks like Feige's decision to offer Mackie the role of Falcon, even without an audition, paid off after all....

While we won’t know for sure what’s happening in the scene until Thor: Love and Thunder is released, it seems as though the Mjolnir shards still contain some power and have swept Jane Foster in some kind of mystical windstorm. From there, we can infer that this weird event leads to her transforming into The Mighty Thor, although again, this is all just speculation. Of course, it was to be expected that Jane’s Thor origin story would unfold differently in the MCU compared to the comics, since in the 616-universe,...

Mardi Gras is, quite simply, one of the world's great parties. It's a yearly event best known in America for the way it's celebrated in New Orleans. Unfortunately, due to the current circumstances, Mardi Gras basically didn't happen in the Big Easy this year. However, the event is still taking place, though granted on a somewhat different scale, at the Universal Orlando Resort. The Mardi Gras celebration has happened at Universal Studios Florida before, but like so many other public events, it's gone through some changes this year. Unlike many...

I would agree that critics and audiences have been right to praise Frances McDormand for her work in Nomadland, which recently earned her a Golden Globe nomination. However, the performances in director Chloé Zhao’s acclaimed drama that I am even more fascinated by come from her co-stars. Not only is much of the cast made up of people who are not professional actors, but the characters they play are, essentially, themselves.Believe it or not, this is a slightly more common practice in cinema (especially recently, as it turns out) than...

The live-action/animation hybrid blockbuster will be debuting in theaters and streaming on HBO Max on the same day, and that day is now just a little over four months away, with the premiere scheduled for July 16. To check out what else is set to be released in the rest of...

This weekend’s latest theatrical release sees Patrick Ness’ award-winning novel The Knife of Never Letting Go get the big-screen adaptation treatment with Doug Liman’s Chaos Walking. The movie, starring Star Wars’ Daisy Ridley and Spider-Man’s Tom Holland, is a high-concept science fiction story about a new settlement away from Earth, which is made up of men plagued by a mutation that puts all their thoughts on display. When Ridley’s character crash lands on the planet, she is faced with the perpetual “Noise” of unfiltered thoughts, especially from Holland’s character. But...

There were quite a few , I mean, some of it is just sort of the end of the film is very epic and big, and we just had to think about how we do all that complexity-wise, but there were areas that were tough to get right, tone-wise. As we developed the character of Namaari and understood the relationship, the interesting deep relationship between her and Raya and how they're sort of opposites of each other, we really wanted to get that moment that they meet, the childhood scene,...

My dad’s parents, named Art and Dot, they sold their house, bought an RV, traveled the United States, went to all the national parks and all of that, and then my other grandparents, they were more homebodies. My grandpa, especially, was much more sedentary and you really saw this contrast in how they viewed what old age meant. And so as I’m trying to think about myself and getting older, where I want to go and what I want my older age to be, I thought it’d be interesting to...
