Disney XD Has Re-Dubbed Louis C.K.’s ‘Gravity Falls’ Character By Hoai-Tran Bui/Dec. 22, 2017 4:00 pm EST It’s unfortunate enough to play a character named the Horrifying Sweaty One-Armed Monstrosity, but even more so when the voice actor of said character is under intense scrutiny for sexual harassment. Louis C.K., who is currently facing allegations of a history of sexual misconduct, has been scrubbed from Disney XD’s reruns of Gravity Falls, where he played a minor character in 2015 and 2016 episodes of the show....

Kevin Feige Thinks ‘Black Panther’ Deserves Oscar Recognition By Hoai-Tran Bui/July 3, 2018 5:30 am EST As soon as it hit theaters in February of this year, Black Panther started to earn Oscar buzz. Yes, it was six months too early to start talking about the 2019 Oscars when we had just finished arguing about how “safe” The Shape of Water was, but goddammit, Black Panther was that good. And while superhero movies haven’t had a great track record at the Academy Awards, the prestigious awards ceremony has been kinder to genre fare in recent years....
New ‘Power Rangers’ Trailer & Posters: Are They More Like Iron Man Or Spider-Man? By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 17, 2017 2:30 pm EST If you go to your local toy aisle, new Power Rangers merchandise is on shelves now. I’m not sure how well they’re selling when kids and their nostalgic parents haven’t seen the movie yet, but at least they’ll be there after the movie hits theaters on March 24. The most recent trailer promises a franchise along the lines of Transformers, even if the tone outside of all the action feels like it’s taking itself a little too seriously....
POTD: See ‘The Simpsons’ House Reimagined In Eight Different Architectural Styles By Ethan Anderton/Dec. 11, 2017 6:00 am EST You’d be hard-pressed to find a more iconic television residence than that of the house in which The Simpsons reside. Located at 742 Evergreen Terrace in Springfield, Somwhere, the two-story house is easily recognizable, and not just because it’s a cartoon. But what if the house was given a makeover? Don’t worry, The Simpsons creators and executive producers aren’t looking to overhaul the house that The Simpsons have called home for 29 seasons and counting....
Stan Lee Has Already Filmed Five More Marvel Movie Cameos By Hoai-Tran Bui/Sept. 12, 2017 12:30 pm EST The Marvel Cinematic Universe gets bigger, but Stan Lee stays the same, reliably making cameo after cameo appearance in each film adaptation of his comic book creations. And he has not slowed down even as his age reaches closer to that centennial mark. The 94-year-old may be pushing 100 soon, but not before he gets at least five more Marvel movie cameos out of the way....

‘Crank’ Director Wants A Crank Cinematic Universe By Chris Evangelista/Jan. 30, 2018 8:30 am EST Forget superhero or Universal Monsters cinematic universes – how about a Crank cinematic universe, based around Jason Statham’s unstoppable character Chev Chelios? That’s what Crank co-director Brian Taylor wants, and honestly, that’s not such a bad idea. Will we ever get a Crank 3? Co-director Brian Taylor sure thinks so, but he’s not settling for a simple sequel....
‘Deadpool 2’ Featurette Goes Behind The Scenes Of Celine Dion’s Amazing Music Video By Ethan Anderton/May 8, 2018 5:00 pm EST Last week brought the debut of a Deadpool 2 music video that was not what we expected at all. Celine Dion starred in the music video belting out a new single called “Ashes” that will undoubtedly be the breakout song from the Deadpool 2 soundtrack (though the R-rated score might give it a run for its money)....
‘Deadpool 2’ Loses Director Tim Miller By Angie Han/Oct. 22, 2016 9:08 am EST According to Deadline, which broke the news, the decision came about “after a series of creative differences.” While Miller had never officially signed a contract to direct Deadpool 2, he’d already begun developing the script and had been planning to return to the helm. The exact nature of those creative differences has not been revealed. However, we did hear a rumor a while back that Miller and the studio were in disagreement about who should be cast as Cable — Miller apparently wanted Kyle Chandler, while the studio had their eye on Liam Neeson....
‘DuckTales’ Teaser: Donald Duck Is In The Center Of The Action By Peter Sciretta/March 13, 2017 6:30 am EST Earlier this month, Disney unveiled the first trailer for the DuckTales reboot featuring the voices of David Tennant (Scrooge), Danny Pudi, Ben Schwartz and Bobby Moynihan (Huey, Dewey & Louie), Beck Bennett (Launchpad McQuack), and Kate Micucci (Webby Vanderquack). While the new voices were a bit off-putting for a fan of the original series, I was actually blown away by the retro design style of this traditional 2D animated show....

Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who recently delivered fantastic back-to-back performances with 2016’s 10 Cloverfield Lane and last year’s season of Fargo, has joined Ang Lee’s science-fiction thriller. And on the production side, Gemini Man has landed John Wick: Chapter 2 stunt coordinator J.J. Perry. Even though the film will be heavily reliant on de-aging technology for star Will Smith to play the dual roles of an aging assassin and his younger clone, it seems like Lee will be combining cutting-edge tech with visceral action choreography....
