Before anyone could give their green salad a second look, WB had cancelled James Wan’s DC show, Swamp Thing. The cancellation of the program was an unexpected turn since the show had only been on for one episode. When production of Swamp Thing had begun, the series was given a thirteen series run but later dropped to ten. There was a bit of a serious error done either by WB or the state of North Carolina—both sides are pointing the finger—that caused the plug to be pulled by WB. Though the series is set to make a full run before…

Even though Fox’s Dark Phoenix might be considered the summer flop of 2019, there is still some news to tell. The final movie in the main X-Men timeline or timelines was directed by Simon Kinberg. The writer/producer decided to take a crack at Dark Phoenix and save it from its troubled production. Kinberg’s efforts, unfortunately, didn’t give the franchise it deserves—the man has atoned for that—and the movie is already being pulled from many theaters. The film’s release had been pushed back a couple of times for reshoots that were rumored to be too close to another Marvel property. It…

Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a Spider-Man can. Actor Tom Holland has always been a genuinely nice guy when it comes to his fans and dealing with the press. In some cases, actors like Chris Evan tend to embody their character—like Captain America—off of the camera and Holland may have fallen suit. Holland was in New York signing autographs for his fans when he noticed trouble without the aid of any Spidey-senses. That’s when the actor decided to take matters into his own hands when an innocent young fan was being pushed and shoved by over-aggressive autograph hunters. The young woman…

Breaking Bad is coming back…yeah, bitch! The hit series was the shot of awesomeness AMC needed and left a huge impact on the pop culture world. The show created by Vince Gillian made Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul household names and gave their characters an amazing ending. Currently, Gillian is still at work on his latest successful AMC show, Better Call Saul, which stars Bob Odenkirk. The show based on Saul Goodman, the lawyer of Cranston and Paul’s characters, is currently set for a season five premiere. The hard work of Gillian hasn’t slowed the man down into finally giving…

The 30th anniversary of Tim Burton’s Batman is this year and what could’ve been. Many fans of the Batman movies to this day like to pick who was the best portrayal of Bruce Wayne/Batman. WB tends to go through a serious amount of research and auditioning in order to place the movie’s best actor, but some have fallen flat—I’m looking at you George Clooney. When Tim Burton’s first Batman was in preproduction, every leading actors’ name was put in the WB hat. Fortunately for us, Michael Keaton was chosen—through strong opposition—and history was made. Yet, one name surprisingly was thrown…

The Matrix was a film that turned the world of cinema on its head. The movie and subsequent sequels had burst into the pop culture zeitgeist and change how movies were made. The Wachowski siblings had created a whole new reality within the movies that bled into everyone’s lives and gave way to the idea that our reality might be what it seems.  The directing duo has been unable to tap into the level of success in their later films, but their talents of creative visual moviemakers are still well respected. With that in mind, it looks like the Wachowski…

Many surprises in Avengers: Endgame caught the audience members off guard. There had been plenty of rumors floating around before the film’s release about who would make it to the end and how the heroes could avenge Earth. One of the many speculated rumors was of Chris Evans’ Captain America making the ultimate sacrifice. Though that wasn’t the case, there was the fitting end of Steve Rogers retiring from the hero life and passing on his shield to Sam Wilson, aka The Falcon. Anthony Mackie — who has played Falcon for many MCU films—has finally given fans an update on…

Many things that happened in Avengers: Endgame sent shockwaves through audience members across the world. The surprise deaths of some of our heroes and reveals brought on a mountain of think pieces and theory articles on what is to come of the MCU. Some of the other surprises were not meant to have a huge impact on fans of the MCU but nonetheless, did the trick. Surprisingly, the inclusion of Marvel Studios first openly gay character was something that been applauded and shunned by moviegoers. Head honcho of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige, has finally come out to give his take…

Did you go see Dark Phoenix? It’s okay. A lot of people haven’t either. Fox’s last romp in the X-Men universe has come to an end and the tale of Charles Xavier’s X-Men against the dark phoenix might be the last one. There is still no word if New Mutants is will ever see the light of day and audience members have grown tired of these bad X-Men films. So much so, that theaters are already pulling Dark Phoenix out of the cinema. The disappointing numbers at the box office and critics’ ridicule of Simon Kinberg’s directorial debut has not…

There are so many storylines, characters, and worlds that Marvel Studios can pull from the entertainment company’s comic book archive. The end of Avengers: Endgame has allowed the MCU to really explore what there is out there waiting for audience members and fans to see. With the events of Captain Marvel set in celluloid stone, the introduction of the Skrulls will allow Marvel Studios to start digging into the long history of the comic book baddies. The future of the MCU might not be too far off from showing what dangers awaits our heroes in Phase 4. Rumor around the…
