‘Black Panther’ Featurette Introduces Okoye And Nakia, Warriors Of Wakanda By Ethan Anderton/Jan. 12, 2018 11:15 am EST Black Panther doesn’t hit theaters for a little over a month, but the movie is already breaking records by selling more advance tickets in its first day of sales than any other Marvel Cinematic Universe title that came before it. This looks like it will be an even bigger movie than some have speculated, and the more footage we see from Chadwick Boseman’s first solo big screen outing as the superhero, the cooler it looks....

By Jacob Hall/Oct. 24, 2016 1:00 pm EST Although I mostly like Daredevil and I was quite fond of Luke Cage, Jessica Jones remains the crown jewel of the Marvel Netflix shows. The series is a real “Best of Both Worlds” situation, combining Daredevil’s knack for stylish action with Luke Cage’s keen attention to location and character. And it does while also being very much its own thing with its own unique perspective that also fits snugly into the Marvel Cinematic Universe....

‘Jungle Cruise’ Artist Compares The Movie To ‘Pirates Of The Caribbean’, Touts Practical Effects By Ben Pearson/Nov. 6, 2017 1:30 pm EST From the moment Disney announced that the studio was making a Jungle Cruise movie based on their classic theme park ride, we knew the comparisons between this film and Pirates of the Caribbean – the most successful Disney movie based on a popular ride – would be inevitable. Now yet another person involved with the new Dwayne Johnson film has drawn that same comparison, along with divulging a tiny bit of info about the film’s approach we hadn’t heard before....

‘Mandy’ Clip: Nicolas Cage Enjoys Some Downtime Before Things Go Bonkers By Hoai-Tran Bui/Sept. 11, 2018 7:30 am EST Everything we’ve seen of Nicolas Cage’s blood-soaked revenge thriller Mandy so far is gore, axes, chainsaws, and a maniacal Cage at his most unhinged yet. But a new Mandy clip slows things down a bit to show us the calm before the storm. There’s no blood or violence, just Cage and Andrea Riseborough as the titular Mandy, murmuring sweet nothings to each other as they enjoy a moment of peace and quiet....

‘Slice’ Trailer Serves Up Our First Real Look At Chance The Rapper’s A24 Horror-Comedy By Chris Evangelista/Aug. 21, 2018 6:01 am EST Last fall, A24 revealed a teaser trailer for Slice, a long-delayed horror flick starring Chance the Rapper. Since then, all has been quiet on the Slice front, save for a few pizza-themed posters popping up in the last few weeks. Now, the first Slice trailer is here. Dig in below....

‘Star Wars: Episode 9’ Will Now Open On December 20, 2019 By Jacob Hall/Sept. 12, 2017 12:40 pm EST This morning, it was announced that Star Wars: The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams would return to the series with Star Wars: Episode 9. So it should come as no surprise that the final film in the sequel trilogy has been pushed back seven months to accommodate the creative shuffling behind the scenes....

By Hoai-Tran Bui/Oct. 20, 2017 6:30 am EST Although Star Wars: The Last Jedi didn’t host a panel at New York Comic-Con, the booth that Lucasfilm set up may offer an even more exciting glimpse at what’s to come for the series.

‘The Last Jedi’ Ending Almost Cut The Mysterious Broom Boy By Chris Evangelista/Jan. 16, 2018 1:30 pm EST Right then, let’s get this out of the way: the Broom Boy at the end of The Last Jedi is not meant to be a new main character in the saga. Star Wars: Episode IX is not going to be about the characters flying back to Canto Bight to recruit Broom Boy to be their new chosen one....

‘Yellowstone’ Trailer: A TV Series From The Writer Of ‘Hell Or High Water’ By Chris Evangelista/April 29, 2018 11:00 am EST A new Yellowstone trailer has arrived, offering a look at the gritty new TV drama from the writer of Hell or High Water and Sicario. Kevin Costner stars as the matriarch of the Dutton family, who own the largest ranch in the United States. I continue to enjoy the later half of Kevin Costner’s career....

Alternate ‘Arrival’ Alien Designs: Check Out The Original Concept Art By Jack Giroux/Nov. 29, 2016 3:00 pm EST The aliens in Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of Ted Chiang’s Arrival are remarkably simple. Besides not sharing any glaringly obvious resemblances to any other aliens we’ve seen lately on film, there’s a gracefulness to how they move, communicate, and interact with their ship’s environment. Unsurprisingly, the final designs we saw don’t share a whole lot in common with some original designs concept artist Peter Konig made for the emotional sci-fi drama....

Not only will the current Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy be reporting for duty, but characters we haven’t even met yet like Captain Marvel are expected to join the fray. And you can add Doctor Strange to that growing list of superheroes....

Boba Fett’s Star Wars Story Expands In ‘Star Wars: From A Certain Point Of View’ By Chris Evangelista/Sept. 29, 2017 2:30 pm EST Bounty hunter and helmet enthusiast Boba Fett is a Star Wars fan favorite, even though he really didn’t do a whole lot in the films and was easily defeated by being knocked into a Sarlacc pit. But people have longed for more and more Boba Fett, and now they’re in luck: the anthology book Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View is set to deliver an entire new story devoted to the character written by Batman: The Animated Series scribe and comic book writer Paul Dini....

Cool Stuff: HAL 9000 Bluetooth Speaker Makes The Villainous ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ Computer A Reality By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 3, 2018 5:00 am EST Few things have been more chilling than the monotone voice of HAL 9000 defying his programming and becoming the ultimate artificially intelligent threat to the crew of the Discovery One in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Now you can bring the voice of Douglas Rain to your home in the form of a HAL 9000 prop replica that doubles as a Bluetooth speaker....

By Ben Pearson/Oct. 13, 2017 3:00 pm EST For years, fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have been calling for a solo movie centered on Black Widow, the ass-kicking super spy played by Scarlett Johansson. And while there have been a lot of vague claims of support from the people in charge at Marvel, we’ve yet to see her suit up for her own film....

Marvel Developing ‘New Warriors’ TV Series Featuring Squirrel Girl By Angie Han/Aug. 30, 2016 6:04 pm EST Despite the passionate interest of fans, filmmakers, and movie star alike, Marvel Studios has yet to announce a Squirrel Girl movie and probably never will. But Doreen Green’s never been one to give up easily, and now she may have found a different way to slip into the MCU. Marvel and ABC Studios are reportedly developing New Warriors, a half-hour comedy series that puts the spotlight on some of Marvel’s younger, lesser-known heroes, including — you guessed it — the unbeatable Squirrel Girl....

Marvel’s ‘Iron Fist’ Gets Premiere Date & New Photo By Angie Han/Oct. 4, 2016 5:53 am EST Now that you’ve had a good four days to binge all of Luke Cage season 1, you might find yourself wondering when you’ll get your next taste of Netflix’s Marvel universe.

Stephen King’s ‘It’ Is Hurting The Clown Business By Hoai-Tran Bui/Aug. 29, 2017 9:00 am EST It’s not a good time for a professional clown. With the brief scare of the creepy clown sightings all over America last year and the upcoming big screen take on the novel/miniseries that arguably started it all, kids likely won’t be lining up at the circus anytime soon. And it’s bad for business. The World Clown Association — which is a real thing that exists — is blaming Stephen King’s It for hurting clown business....
