Does Our First Look At Cable Hint At Part Of The ‘Deadpool 2’ Story? By Ben Pearson/Aug. 9, 2017 10:00 am EST We’re still in the dark about what Ryan Reynolds’ motor-mouthed mercenary will be up to in Deadpool 2, but there may be a clue buried in the new photos of some of his fellow mutants. We know Atlanta’s Zazie Beetz is playing an assassin named Domino, and Josh Brolin (Avengers: Infinity War) is suiting up as the time-traveling badass Cable, but the recently-released first look photos of Cable just might hint at an aspect of the story we could see play out, and it involves Cable’s surrogate daughter, Hope Summers....

Jacob Tremblay Will Beat The Crap Out Of Aliens In ‘The Predator’ By Jacob Hall/Jan. 25, 2017 10:30 am EST Shane Black’s The Predator has been building one hell of an ensemble over the past few months, with Boyd Holbrook, Olivia Munn, Trevante Rhodes, Keegan-Michael Key, Sterling K. Brown and Thomas Jane all assembling to take on that iconic alien hunter. But if you look at that cast and note that it’s missing a real heavy-hitter, a true tough guy who can take on the Predator in hand-to-hand combat à la Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1987 original, just know that this particular gap is about to be filled....

Jordan Peele Could Host The New ‘Twilight Zone’ Reboot By Chris Evangelista/Aug. 14, 2018 4:00 pm EST Submitted for your approval: a Twilight Zone remake not only produced by Jordan Peele, but also featuring him as on-screen host. The original Twilight Zone kicked off each episode with creator Rod Serling stepping before the camera to introduce the story we were about to watch. As Peele works on his new take on The Twilight Zone, he hasn’t ruled out the option of following Serling’s lead....

LOL: Thor’s Poor Sad Roommate Darryl Returns In ‘Team Thor: Part 2’ By Angie Han/Feb. 14, 2017 9:30 am EST The saddest man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe isn’t Loki with his daddy issues or Bruce Banner with his self-loathing or even Bucky Barnes with his unreliable brain and unfortunately highly effective assassin training. No, if you ask me, it’s Darryl, the poor ordinary schmoe who somehow got stuck rooming with Thor while the rest of the Avengers were off having their Civil War....

One More ‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ Trailer Destroys All The Things By Ethan Anderton/June 4, 2017 9:41 am EST Last month, Paramount Pictures released what was said to be the final trailer for this summer’s Transformers: The Last Knight.

The Next X-Men Movie First up, Simon Kinberg won’t confirm whether or not he’s directing the sequel that previously had the working title of X-Men: Supernova. However, he did confirm to Deadline that if he would make his directorial debut with the film, he would still write the script as well: “I’ve read those reports. If I were to direct, I would certainly write. As someone who started his career as a writer then transitioned into being a writer-producer, when I make that transition into directing, I would definitely want to be the writer as well....

This Week’s ‘Game Of Thrones’ Episode Has Leaked Online By Jacob Hall/Aug. 4, 2017 8:00 am EST The internet is dark and full of spoilers for the television event of 2017. A few days ago, HBO fell victim to a cybersecurity attack and hackers made off with 1.5 terabytes of data, including scripts for and episodes of the network’s current shows. Episodes of Ballers and Room 104 made their way online quickly, but it took a few days for the latest episode of Game of Thrones season 7 to appear in the shadier corners of the internet....

Watch The First Three Minutes Of ‘Rings’ By Jack Giroux/Jan. 31, 2017 1:30 pm EST Rings’ release date has been kicked around more times than a soccer ball. Okay, maybe not that many times, but four delays is telling. Originally scheduled to open in the fall of 2015, the sequel then got moved to spring 2016, and then it got bumped back again to the autumn of 2016. That last release date didn’t work out, either, so director F....

‘13 Reasons Why’ Season 3 Is Coming To Netflix In 2019 By Ben Pearson/June 6, 2018 9:30 am EST The first season of Netflix’s teen-centric drama 13 Reasons Why cut through the Peak TV clutter and got people talking, but when season 2 debuted late last month, there wasn’t nearly the same amount of buzz around the show. Most of the reviews pointed out that the show had already extended itself too far beyond its initial premise with its second season, but Netflix, cackling in the face of logic and reason, has officially announced that 13 Reasons Why season 3 is coming to the streaming service next year....

‘Assassin’s Creed’ Alternate Ending: Michael Fassbender Faces A Bleaker Conclusion By Jack Giroux/March 8, 2017 2:30 pm EST For a movie with such a fantastical concept, the long-awaited video game adaptation, Assassin’s Creed, ultimately plays it safe. Justin Kurzel’s (Macbeth) film is a gloomy and moody video game adaptation that doesn’t make a man reliving an ancestor’s memories, as he fights in 15th Century Spain, as entertaining as it sounds. When the film was released last December, audiences didn’t take to the world of Assassins and Templars, and the alternate ending likely wouldn’t have changed many of their minds about the movie....
