Now, as production is in full swing, the first pick of…

Ben Affleck has had a tumultuous run as the Caped Crusader in the DCEU, ever since he first appeared in the polarizing Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Meant to have a long run as Batman, Affleck ended up only appearing in two films (three if you count the Snyder Cut as a separate entity as well). His planned solo film fell to the wayside and eventually evolved into the new iteration that will be Matt Reeves’ The Batman with Robert Pattinson. However, fans of Batfleck rejoiced when the news broke that the actor would be returning to the iconic…

When it comes to the whole fan debate over whether the television and Netflix shows for Marvel prior to Disney Plus are actually canon to the Marvel Cinematic Universe or not, neither side will budge (even though there is countless current evidence that proves one side of the debate, but I digress). One thing that both sides adamantly agree on, though, is that most of the Netflix castings were perfect and we would all love to see these actors return to these roles in the MCU. Arguably the most successful at their role has been Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil.…

Venom: Let There Be Carnage is set to release in theaters, finally, in just two weeks time.

This led Sony to bring in Andy Serkis to direct the sequel and breathe new life into the franchise. After a recent screening, those fortunate enough to get to see the film already are praising the new direction and pace as well as the depiction of one of Marvel’s most gruesome villains in Carnage. It…

Ever since the film’s debut 33 years ago, talks of a possible sequel have been floating around the ether of Hollywood. Recently, those talks became more of a reality as director Ivan Reitman worked on a new scripts that would see a third brother join…

James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad has been a huge success for WB and the DC films, bringing new life into the roller coaster that has been the DCEU. The group of ragtag villains turned reluctant heroes garnered tons of fans. One of the stand out performances was from WWE legend and Hollywood rising star, John Cena. Gunn apparently knew this would happen – as during the pandemic, the writer/director took his down time in stride and wrote a whole series for Peacemaker, Cena’s character in the film. Once WB got to see the first cut of the film, they were…

2020 saw the world come to a stop has seemingly changed several aspects of life forever. One such aspect is Hollywood and the movie industry. The way studios release films has changed, with some doing simultaneous theatrical and streaming release, some offering early premier access at home, and others shortening their theatrical window for quicker home release. Marvel Studios is working on their release format moving forward, but this also includes making up for lost time. After over a year without a Marvel Cinematic Universe film in theaters, Marvel is releasing four this year and four next year. It looks…
