Joker was surprisingly successful for Warner Bros. The film has proved that an origin movie about a villain without their obligatory hero can be told on the big screen. The movie starring Joaquin Phoenix and directed by Todd Phillips is close to making a billion dollars. Of course, such success deems a sequel. Phoenix said he was up for it. Phillips said he would do one if the story is right. Now, Warner Bros has handed the filmmaker the keys to the kingdom. Not only will he be allowed to do a sequel to Joker, but he has been given…

The Avengers finally defeated the dastardly Thanos. Usually, villains of the MCU have been defeated rather easily. And they are taken down within one movie. Either that or they become a sort of anti-hero like Loki. But Thanos actually won in his first movie. Though, the same way he dusted away half of the Avengers in Infinity War, he was dusted away himself in Endgame. However, where the Avengers believe they have finally defeated Thanos, remember that their fallen allies were brought back from their dusting. A deleted scene from Avengers: Endgame shows Tilda Swinton’s Ancient One further explain her…

Months after it’s release, fans are still discovering little tidbits from Avengers: Endgame. More were discovered once it was available for home release. And now that it’s available to stream on Disney Plus, equipped with several extras, fans are still having a heyday. One such discovery is from the scene where Hulk, Bucky, and Falcon, send Captain America back in time to return the Infinity Stones. In the background, a helicopter can be spotted with a container dangling from it. This has led to a frenzy of theories. Some are ridiculous. Some are well thought out. And then there’s the…

A follow-up to 2016’s Star Trek Beyond was to team Chris Pine with Chris Hemsworth. The actor who went on to play Thor played Kirk’s father in 2009’s first installment of the series. The fourth installment was to feature time-travel and have a father-and-son buddy adventure. Marvel Comics did something similar with a young Cyclops and his dad, Corsair. However, that film was canceled. So it seemed that a fourth film for this Star Trek series was out of the cards. But now, recent news claims that Star Trek 4 is back on the table. Deadline reported that Star Trek…

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 had several post-credit scenes. I’m still convinced this was to spite James Mangold. The director said that his distaste for the marketing scheme was why he didn’t include any for Logan. In any case, one of those scenes from GOTG2 teased Adam Warlock. One of the antagonists for the sequel was Ayesha. Elizabeth Debicki played the high priestess of the golden-skinned Sovereign. In the scene that cut in between the rolling credits, Ayesha spoke of her new creation named Adam. Since Adam Warlock is a member of the Sovereign race, fans knew this was…

Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame proved that Thanos was a great villain. He was brought to life with the collaboration between Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely, the Russo Brothers, and Josh Brolin. And you can’t forget about the visual and concept artists who translated the Mad Titan from the comic book pages. Before his ultimate appearance in Infinity War, we saw him evolve from The Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Avengers: Age of Ultron. And when I was watching the Silver Surfer cartoon on Disney Plus the other day, I was reminded that he’s supposed to look a little different…

Next year will mark a new saga for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Avengers: Endgame wrapped the Infinity Saga. And Spider-Man: Far From Home served as an epilogue. But before we’ll move forward, the next couple of films will fill in some gaps. Eternals will dive into the roots of the universe. The movie is set between two time periods, one being thousands of years ago. And Black Widow will take place between Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War. Hopefully, it will also involve Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton’s time in Budapest. In which, that occurred before the events…

Back in 2017, there was some leaked footage from Avengers: Infinity War. Nobody knew the wrath that Thanos was about to unleash. But from a Reddit post, fans got a taste of what was to come. The scene featured rough CGI in its initial stages. The photo showed the footage on a monitor. It featured Spider-Man and Doctor Strange in the most prominent panel. And the caption read, “Peter! Protect them. They’re not dead.” However, that scene never made the ultimate cut of the film. Fast-forward a couple years. Deleted and alternate scenes from the MCU are emerging everywhere thanks…

It was believed that Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck were both done as Superman and Batman respectively. These rumors were ushered with developments on movies about the characters outside the DCEU. Matt Reeves cast Robert Pattinson for his Batman. And J.J. Abrams is said to working on a new Superman movie. Also, Cavill was supposed to cameo in Shazam. But those who saw the picture know that the Superman at the end of that movie was not him. Affleck may be done as Batman. But Cavill addressed rumors about his departure. Evidently, he is not finished wearing the cape. Men’s…

The last chapter of the Skywalker Saga is near. This will conclude a narrative told across nine pictures. Each set of three movies have had their set of characters. The original trilogy had Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewbacca. The prequel trilogy had Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Padme. This sequel trilogy has Rey, Finn, Poe, BB8, and Chewie again. And C-3PO and R2D2 have helped all three teams. Not to mention, the plethora of villains and supporting allies throughout. The original and prequel trilogy pretty much had their teams together off the bat. But this sequel series have theirs scattered across the…
