Greetings folks from across the internet waves! Boy does it feel great to be a Marvel Comics or MCU fan. The Walt Disney Company Investor Day presentation occurred Thursday online and the House of Mouse has come to play. A lot of news dropped about what’s to expect from the Marvel family and one of them is that we are getting an Ironheart show for Disney Plus. What’s even better than that? Casting news! If Beale Street Could Talk actor Dominique Throne will be playing Riri Williams/Ironheart. The much-beloved character made her debut in Marvel Comics back in 2015 and…

Star Wars! Nothing but Star Wars! Dun dun dun dun! With this year’s Disney Investor Day comes news of more Star Wars. Disney Plus has given us two seasons of The Mandalorian and fans of this franchise are looking to see what’s next to take place in a galaxy far, far, away. Finally, we have our answer in the form of Disney Plus’s Andor. The show starring Diego Luna as Cassian Andor was announced two years back and we’ve been waiting to hear more on what the adventure of the Rogue One character will find himself in. At the event,…

The Walt Disney Company Investor Day presentation occurred Thursday online and looks like the mega studio has come out guns blazing. Marvel’s wing has been silent for quite some time this year with little to no news on what’s to come from the MCU or its shows. It looks like that changed with plenty of announcements to quench your thirst finally arrived. Kevin Fiege took the stage and dropped some updates on Captain Marvel 2. We found out early this year that the new Candyman director, Nia DaCosta is set to direct the sequel to the 2018 hit film. It…

Patty Jenkins has been a serious player in Hollywood for quite some time. The director became a household name when she took reigns of DC/WB’s Wonder Woman and the talented creative has not slowed since. With the long-awaited Wonder Woman 1984 set to premiere on the big and small screen on the same day, it looks like Jenkins has found a home in a galaxy far far away with Rogue Squadron. During this year’s Disney’s Investor Day, the presentation online announced that Jenkins is set to direct the latest entry in the Star Wars Franchise. She even took to Twitter…

I never thought I’d ever get to say this – but we are finally getting a Secret Invasion. Let me start back at the beginning. Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige announced during this year’s Disney’s Investor Day that a Secret Invasion adaptation will be hitting on the small screen on Disney Plus. It also looks like Samuel L. Jackson is set to return as the super-spy Nick Fury – and Ben Mendelsohn will be taking up his role again as the Skrull known as Talos. The two appeared on the big screen in 2019’s Captain Marvel. Many had wondered if…

2020 has been a garbage year. Can we all agree with that? No matter what your politics, religion, preference in life, everyone has been having a bad year. One of the reminders of how garbage this year has been the fact that we lost Chadwick Boseman. The highly regarded actor has had a series of damn good roles and one of them was as T’Challa aka Black Panther. At this year’s Disney Investor Day event it was announced that his character will not be recast in Black Panther 2. 2018’s Black Panther was a huge event that year. People came…

2020 has been a hot mess. There has been a series of events that make it seem like we’re living throughout the latest season of Black Mirror or a boxset of poorly written Roland Emmerich disaster films. One of those events is the steady streaming of cops doing the exact opposite of what they were hired to do. However, that hasn’t stopped Hollywood from making movies about the good the police force does. That’s when up and coming director Quinn Armstrong steps in with his version of law enforcement through his movie, Survival Skills. For those not in the know,…

Sound of Metal is the directorial debut from the writer of The Place Beyond the Pines, Darius Marder. The story follows a drummer, played expertly well by Riz Ahmed, whose hearing declines. This life-altering event not only affects him but also his significant other played by Olivia Cooke. The Amazon Studio produced movie shines a light on the deaf and ASL community in a way that hasn’t been done before. I was fortunate to speak with Marder, Ahmed, Cooke, as well Paul Raci recently and learned a lot that elevated the impact of the story and the passion that went…

Greetings fans and non-fans of Amazon’s hit show, The Boys. Every episode of the comic book adaptation this season has had its fair share of WTF moments and some of those were brought to you by Stormfront. The character, played by Aya Cash, balances the right amount of evil, comedy, and offers plenty more gore and violence the show is known for. However, it might be possible that the actress is interested in playing another comic book character if the planets are aligned just right. Earlier this year, I sat down with Cash and discussed her role in Season Two…

Welcome back to the home of ScreenGeek. Grab a chair and make yourself comfortable if you haven’t already. This time on our four-day exclusive-athon interviews with the cast and crew of The Boys, I had chat with Eric Kripke. The showrunner of Amazon’s hit show and I discuss what it takes to keep viewers and comic book readers of the same title guessing, exactly how the hell did he snag Giancarlo, Esposito, and what’s the deal with Fresca. Since The Boys is a well-known comic book and has been read by millions of people, what’s the process in the writing…
