At last year’s D23, Disney and Marvel put an end to years of speculation by officially announcing a television series centering around She-Hulk for its streaming service, Disney Plus – and now, after yet another year of speculation as to who will play the titular heroine, Marvel has finally revealed the answer – and it’s none other than Tatiana Maslany, star of Orphan Black. The news that Maslany had landed the coveted role of Jennifer Walters was broken earlier today after previously revealing that Kat Coiro has been hired to direct several episodes, including the series pilot. Welcome to the…

Despite being pretty much ingrained in popular culture, the Resident Evil franchise has never really been taken seriously outside of the video game series. Of course, we had the Paul W.S. Anderson film series starring Milla Jovovich, but they were never really viewed as a worthy adaptation of the games. That all seems set to change now with news that Netflix is set to adapt the long running saga as an eight episode TV series! When the Wesker kids move to New Raccoon City, the secrets they uncover might just be the end of everything. Resident Evil, a new live…

With everything up in the air when it comes to film and television these days, it’s hard to know what to expect from the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We know that Black Widow is already completed and set for release later this year, with Eternals and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings currently filming and several other projects in various stages of production.  One film that we currently know very little about is Captain Marvel 2. We know that it will feature the return of Brie Larson in the titular role and that it is due…

With everyone talking about Black Widow being pushed back from April to November, it’s easy to overlook the fact that next month was due to see the release of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier – Marvel Studios’ first foray into the small screen. With the ongoing pandemic shutting down almost all of the entertainment industry, the show was forced to abandon filming in Europe with only a few weeks to go and only just recently being allowed to resume. While not a great deal is known about the show, we do know that it was to feature the return of…

After 12 years and 23 films, it’s safe to say that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has had some incredible interactions, I mean who would have thought we would one day have had Chris Evans’ Captain America saying ‘I am Steve Rogers’ to Vin Diesel’s Groot – or even Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange having a verbal throw-down with Tom Hiddleston’s Loki. However, for every MCU interaction we do see, there seems to be one that feels like a missed opportunity. This was a recent discussion on a Reddit thread after user RoninRonanAgamotto brought it to the community’s attention that despite Happy…

Earlier this week, a story hit the internet regarding six year old, Bridger Walker, who bravely saved his four year old sister from a vicious dog attack in Wyoming. The incident happened on July 9th when a one year old German shepherd mix went for the young girl, before her brother stepped in the way to shield her. It was at this point that the dog turned on Bridger, latching onto his cheek and leaving the youngster needing two hour surgery and over 90 stitches. When questioned on his heroics by his father, Bridger simply responded ‘if someone had to…

It was revealed earlier today that Ian Holm, an actor well versed on both the silver screen and the stage, had passed away at the age of 88. Holm was probably best known for portraying Bilbo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, a role he later reprised in The Hobbit trilogy. Science Fiction fans will ultimately recognize him as the Android, Ash, in Ridley Scott’s 1979 classic Alien. The news came via Holm’s agent who confirmed that the actor has passed away ‘peacefully in hospital’ from a Parkinson’s related illness. “It is with great sadness that the actor…

Late last week it was revealed that Sony were working on a secret movie for the SPUMC (that’s Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters if you were wondering) from director S.J. Clarkson of Banshee and Succession fame. The film itself was rumored to be a potential Madame Web film, something that has been discussed as an option since last September. In Variety’s exclusive report, it was revealed that while Clarkson had signed on to helm the film, the studio was looking to cast the role with a big name actress before hiring a writer. Two of the names mentioned in…

Earlier this week, everyone on the internet lost their minds when it was announced that Zack Snyder’s long discussed cut of Justice League is real and on set for release next year on new streaming service, HBO Max. While it has been confirmed that we will finally see the big screen debut of Darkseid in this new cut, we have had no idea on who would be playing him – until now that is. Earlier today, actor and casting director Ray Porter took to Twitter to announce that he is in fact portraying the ruler of Apokolips in the film,…

At this point it seems that just about everybody and their dog wants to see the illusive Snyder Cut of 2017’s Justice League. Now, it has been confirmed that the film will see finally the light of day on HBO Max after years of speculation.  For those who are unaware, the Snyder Cut is what fans have dubbed the version of the Justice League that we would have seen had Zack Snyder continued to make the film he intended –  before unfortunate circumstances led to him leaving the project with Avengers: Age of Ultron director Joss Whedon stepping in.
