Marvel Studios have been on a decent roll regarding their latest Disney + series Loki, Wandavision, and The Falcon and the Winter Solider. The mega studio isn’t slowing down with their streaming programs which is why we’re getting a Hawkeye show starring Jeremy Renner and Hallie Steinfeld. The series is premiering this month which means behind-the-scenes info from the cast and crew. Recently Steinfeld and Renner were joined by fellow cast members Vera Farmiga, Tony Dalton, alongside Hawkeye Director/Executive Producer Rhys Thomas, and Marvel Studio head honcho Kevin Feige to discuss the next installment in the MCU. One of the…

Hawkeye! The hero with a bow and arrow that some call the most useless Avenger. However, I don’t see it like that. The character, famously played by Jeremy Renner, carries a type of comedic cynical and relatable side that I’ve grown to appreciate over time. So, I was mildly curious when I heard that the character was getting his show on Disney Plus. My curiosity only grew when I found out that the series would follow Matt Fraction’s 2012-2015 run that better explored Hawkeye’s background. And honestly, I think Marvel Studios has another hit on their hands. Disney Plus’s Hawkeye…

Disney Plus Day is upon us and the House of Mouse has presented our first look at Marvel Studios’ Ms. Marvel with a teaser trailer of the show.

The X-Men have returned! Well, kind of – in X-Men ’97. During the Disney Plus Day showcase of the latest to come from Disney, it was revealed that we’ll be getting a new X-Men animated series based on the beloved 90’s cartoon. The series premiered on the Fox Network back in 1992 and continued until 1997 – and has been getting a lot of nostalgia love over the years. Thanks to the show finally reaching Disney Plus, that love was only amplified, and Disney decided to strike while the iron is still hot. X-Men: The Animated Series featured many from…

You remember Secret Invasion, right? That “little” arch in the Marvel Comics that fans of the comics would talk about years on end? Well, Marvel Studios still has plans to make it into a live-action show and this week we got a glimpse of what’s to come. On Disney Plus Day, we were given an intriguing character photo of Nick Fury played by Samuel L. Jackson was released. The last time we saw the head of S.H.I.E.L.D in the current MCU timeline, the real Nick Fury was on a spaceship taking a small vacation with the Skrulls. It looks like…

Marvel’s Eternals is getting released this week and the latest installment in the MCU has had a constant run in the news. From the start, a film critic for a well-known publication spoiled a major mid-credit scene that kicked up some serious dust on Film Twitter. After that, the Rotten Tomatoes score for Eternals has it placed as the worst-reviewed Marvel Studios movie – though I think Thor: The Dark World should still hold that title. Now, more news suggests the movie still can’t catch a break. It’s being reported that Eternals is banned overseas because of the movie’s gay…

Halloween Kills has been racking up a significant box-office draw since being released in theaters and Paramount last month. Despite its low score with critics and mediocre reviews from audience members, we’ll still be getting a conclusion to David Gordon Green’s take on the Halloween franchise with Halloween Ends. The collaboration between Green and Halloween star Jamie Lee Curtis has been a fruitful one – and the two might be working together again – this time on the latest The Exorcist movie. Curtis and Green spoke to the people over at Entertainment Weekly to discuss the success and behind-the-scenes info…

The folks behind Marvel Studios have spent over a decade fine-tuning their formula for a guaranteed box office return with each installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. There has been some questionable choices when certain movies are announced (looking at you Guardians of the Galaxy) and the Eternals falls under that category. Nearly every MCU movie has garnered high Rotten Tomatoes scores from audience and critics, however, it seems that Chloé Zhao’s Eternals might be the one that exclusively produced Marvel Studios movie making a misstep. Eternals, directed by Zhao, is filled to the brim with talented actors. The cast featuring…

Ridley Scott has come back into the sword and shield genre with his latest movie, The Last Duel, but adds a bit more than epic battles scenes and sweeping landscape shots. The true story that is played out during the film dates back to 1386 but much of the topic can easily resonate with today’s audience. The plot that follows closely to stories related to the Me-Too movement is expertly displayed by Scott but it’s the message powered by writers Nicole Holofcener, Matt Damon, and Ben Affleck. During a recent press junket for The Last Duel, Holofcener, Damon, Affleck, with…

Most moviegoers know what they’re getting from a Ridley Scott big-budget film. Epic shots of the world the plot inhabits, top-level actors, and sometimes a good story. His latest film, The Last Duel, has all that and a bit more with an underlying message that fits into the ‘Me Too’ era. If that last put you at unease, good. The movie earns the attention it wants and uses some stellar performances from its cast to hit the point home. The Last Duel, director by Scott, stars Matt Damon (Sir Jean de Carrouges), Adam Driver (Jacques Le Gris), Jodi Comer (Marguerite…
